Detailed implementation method:
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model includes a guitar body 1, a neck 2 hinged to the guitar body 1, and a locking assembly 3. The locking assembly 3 includes a female latch 31 on the guitar body 1, a male latch 32 on the neck 2, and an unlocking assembly 33. When the neck 2 is rotated and unfolded onto the guitar body 1, the female latch 31 and the male latch 32 engage, preventing the neck 2 from rotating. The unlocking assembly 33 is used to stop the female latch 31 and the male latch 32 from engaging, allowing the neck 2 to rotate. Compared to existing folding guitars, this utility model... The new design also includes a locking assembly 3. When the neck 2 is rotated and unfolded onto the body 1, the female end latch 31 and the male end latch 32 are engaged, preventing the neck 2 from rotating. This ensures that the neck 2 is securely unfolded onto the body 1. By unlocking the assembly 33, the female end latch 31 and the male end latch 32 are stopped from engaging, allowing the neck 2 to be rotated and folded. The neck 2 of this invention is easy to fold and unfold, preventing the neck 2 from shaking or accidentally rotating during performance. It ensures both folding functionality and playing feel and effect.
[0020] The male end buckle 32 includes a male end body 321 and a male end hook portion 322 disposed on one side of the bottom of the male end body 321. The female end buckle 31 includes a female end body 311 and a female end hook portion 312 disposed on one side of the top of the female end body 311. When the female end buckle 31 and the male end buckle 32 are engaged, the top of the male end hook portion 322 abuts against the bottom of the female end hook portion 312. By hooking the male end hook portion 322 of the male end buckle 32 with the female end hook portion 312 of the female end buckle 31, the neck 2 can be securely set on the top of the body 1 and cannot be rotated, thereby preventing the neck 2 from shaking or accidentally rotating during playing.
[0021] The bottom of the male end hook portion 322 is formed with a male end beveled portion 323, which is an inclined surface with the side closer to the female end buckle 31 being higher and the side farther away from the female end buckle 31 being lower. The top of the female end hook portion 312 is formed with a female end beveled portion 313, which is an inclined surface with the side closer to the male end buckle 32 being lower and the side farther away from the male end buckle 32 being higher. The male end beveled portion 323 and the female end beveled portion 313 can better enable the male end buckle 32 to directly engage with the female end buckle 31 downwards.
[0022] The unlocking component 33 includes a slide 331 mounted on the body 1, a slider 332 slidably connected to the slide 331 in the horizontal direction, and a compression spring 333 clamped between the slide 331 and the slider 332. A female end buckle 31 is mounted on the slider 332. By pressing the slider 332 and causing the female end buckle 31 to slide away from the male end buckle 32, the female end buckle 31 and the male end buckle 32 can stop being locked together, and the male end buckle 32 can rotate upward, that is, the neck 2 can rotate upward, thereby enabling the neck 2 to be rotated and folded. When the pressure on the slider 332 is released, the slider 332 slides back to its original position under the pushing action of the compression spring 333.
[0023] The unlocking component 33 also includes a push rod 334 disposed on the slider 332. The push rod 334 makes it easier to press the slider 332, which makes it easier to unlock the female end buckle 31 and the male end buckle 32.
[0024] The slide block 331 has a groove 3311 formed therein, and the slider 332 includes a receiving part 3321 and a guide part 3322 that cooperates with the groove 3311. One end of the compression spring 333 abuts against the slide block 331, and the other end of the compression spring 333 abuts against the receiving part 3321. When the slider 332 is pressed, the guide part 3322 of the slider 332 is slidably connected in the groove 3311 of the slide block 331. By the cooperation between the guide part 3322 of the slider 332 and the groove 3311 of the slide block 331, the slider 332 can be prevented from deviating during sliding, and the slider 332 can achieve better sliding.
[0025] The locking assembly 3 also includes a guide groove 34 on the body 1 and a guide pin 35 on the neck 2. When the neck 2 is rotated and unfolded on the body 1, the guide pin 35 is inserted into the guide groove 34. The guide groove 34 and the guide pin 35 work together to achieve positioning, making it easier for the male end buckle 32 to be aligned and to engage with the female end buckle 31.
[0026] The guide pin 35 is a frustum-shaped structure with a diameter that gradually decreases from top to bottom, making it easier to align the guide pin 35 and insert it into the guide groove 34.
[0027] Working principle:
[0028] When the neck 2 is rotated upwards and unfolded to the top of the body 1, the female end latch 31 and the male end latch 32 engage, preventing the neck 2 from rotating. By unlocking the component 33, the female end latch 31 and the male end latch 32 stop engaging, and the neck 2 is rotated downwards, folding the neck 2 to one side of the body 1, thus completing the folding of the neck 2. The neck 2 of this invention is easy to fold and unfold, and can prevent the neck 2 from shaking or accidentally rotating during performance, ensuring the playing feel and effect while having a folding function.
[0029] Of course, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
