Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a glass and wrought iron combination wind chime. Background Technology

[0002] A wind chime is an object that produces a clear and pleasant clanging sound when blown by the wind. It is often used as an ornament and is found all over the world in various forms. As people's living standards improve, their demands for the visual appeal of wind chimes are also increasing, leading to a greater variety of styles. For example, a utility model patent for an electric wind chime, authorized and published by the Chinese Patent Office on December 4, 2013, with publication number CN203325442U, includes a base, a power supply, a motor, and decorative parts. The motor is housed within the base, and its output shaft is connected to the top of the decorative part. The decorative part is a spiral structure made of metal wire, containing several crystal balls, and a crystal pendant is connected to the lower end of the decorative part.

[0003] While the aforementioned "electric wind chime" enhances the visual appeal and adds visual interest, it cannot produce a crisp and pleasant clanging sound. Strictly speaking, it cannot be called a wind chime; it can only be described as an electric hanging decoration resembling a wind chime. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a glass and wrought iron combination wind chime that not only produces a crisp and pleasant clanging sound when blown by the wind, but also achieves an excellent visual effect.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A glass and wrought iron combination wind chime is characterized by comprising a spring-shaped wrought iron frame, with an upper ring and a lower ring at the upper and lower ends of the frame, respectively. The upper and lower rings each have a horizontal inner frame. A hanging ring connects to the center of the top surface of the upper inner frame. A glass prism is positioned between the upper and lower inner frames. Prism fixing rings are located at the center of the bottom surface of the upper inner frame and the center of the top surface of the lower inner frame, respectively. The shape of the ring hole in the prism fixing ring matches the cross-sectional shape of the glass prism. Multiple base columns are evenly distributed around the bottom of the lower ring, and these base columns are connected to a collision block via hanging rings.

[0007] The wrought iron frame of this utility model is similar in shape to a spring, except that it has fewer coils and a higher coil height so as not to affect the observation of the glass prism in the middle. The wrought iron frame is made of bent iron wire, and like a spring, it can be stretched and compressed within a certain range when an external force is applied.

[0008] The glass prism of this invention is fitted between two prism fixing rings. The wrought iron frame is stretched so that the distance between the two prism fixing rings is slightly greater than the length of the glass prism. The glass prism is then inserted into the wrought iron frame through the gap between the inner frame of the upper or lower ring. After both ends are inserted into the two prism fixing rings respectively, the force is released, and the wrought iron frame retracts, firmly securing the glass prism inside the wrought iron frame.

[0009] When the glass prism is installed inside the wrought iron frame, the wrought iron frame is in a stretched state, relying on its own elasticity to hold the glass prism in place.

[0010] The glass prism of this invention is installed inside a wrought iron frame, which provides good protection for the glass prism.

[0011] The glass prism of this invention can be a triangular prism, a quadrangular prism, etc., and the more facets it has, the better the effect.

[0012] This invention uses a hanging rope and rings to suspend the wind chime at a high place. When the wind blows, the wind chime will swing and rotate. At this time, the collision blocks at the bottom will collide with each other, producing a crisp and pleasant sound. When the wind chime rotates, the spiral structure of the wrought iron frame will create a visual effect of rising (clockwise rotation) and falling (counterclockwise rotation). At the same time, when the glass prism rotates, each facet will reflect light. Especially under sunlight, the transmission and reflection effects of the glass prism are superimposed, creating an excellent light and shadow effect. The rotation of the glass prism and the wrought iron frame greatly enhances the visual effect of the wind chime.

[0013] Furthermore, a hollow metal generating tube is suspended in the middle of the bottom surface of the inner frame of the lower ring of this utility model.

[0014] This invention uses a hollow metal generating tube to collide with a collision block to produce sound, resulting in a better sound production effect.

[0015] Furthermore, the collision block of this utility model is a metal collision block.

[0016] The metal collision block of this invention can be either solid or hollow.

[0017] Furthermore, the collision block of this utility model is a glass prism collision block.

[0018] By using glass prism collision blocks, the wind chime can not only produce sound when in use, but also achieve a better visual effect through transmission and reflection, just like the glass prisms.

[0019] The collision block of this invention can also be made of transparent plastic / resin material.

[0020] This invention has the advantages of reasonable structure, flexible and convenient use, and good visual effect. It can ring in the wind like a traditional wind chime, achieve upward and downward visual effects through a spring-shaped iron frame, and create light and shadow visual effects through the transmission and reflection of glass.

[0024] The embodiments of the present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit its scope of protection. It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application should have the ordinary meaning understood by those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains. Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown: The wrought iron frame 5 is a spring-shaped spiral structure, with an upper ring 2 and a lower ring 8 at its upper and lower ends, respectively. Inside the upper ring 2 and the lower ring 8, there are horizontal inner frames 3 and 12, respectively. Each inner frame 3 and the lower inner frame 12 consists of three horizontal rods, which radiate outwards and converge at the center of the upper ring 2 and the lower ring 8. The top center of the upper inner frame 3 is connected to the hanging ring 1, and the bottom center of the upper inner frame 3 is connected to the hanging ring 1. The top surface of the inner frame 12 of the lower ring is provided with a prism fixing ring 4 and a prism fixing ring 7 respectively. A glass prism 6 is installed between the prism fixing ring 4 and the prism fixing ring 7. The glass prism 6 is an octagonal prism. The shape of the ring hole of the prism fixing ring 4 and the prism fixing ring 7 matches the cross-sectional shape of the glass prism 6. Multiple base pillars are evenly distributed around the bottom of the lower ring 8. The base pillars are connected to the collision block 10 through the hanging ring 9. The collision block 10 adopts a glass prism structure and is shaped like a crystal.

[0026] When installing the glass prism 6 of this utility model, stretch the wrought iron frame 5 so that the distance between the prism fixing ring 4 and the prism fixing ring 7 is slightly greater than the length of the glass prism 6. Insert the glass prism 6 into the wrought iron frame 5 through the gap of the inner frame 3 of the upper ring or the inner frame 12 of the lower ring, so that its two ends are respectively inserted into the prism fixing ring 4 and the prism fixing ring 7. Then release the force, and the wrought iron frame 5 will firmly clamp the glass prism 6 between the prism fixing ring 4 and the prism fixing ring 7 by its own elasticity.

[0027] When in use, the wind chime is suspended at a high place by hanging rope and hanging ring 1. When the wind blows, the wind chime will swing and rotate. At this time, the collision blocks 10 at the bottom will collide with each other and produce a crisp and pleasant collision sound. When the wind chime rotates, the spiral structure of the iron frame 5 will bring a visual effect of rising (forward rotation) and falling (reverse rotation). At the same time, when the glass prism 6 and the collision blocks 10 rotate, each facet will reflect light. Especially under sunlight, the transmission and reflection effects of the prism are superimposed, and the visual effect is excellent. Example 2

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown: A hollow metal sound-emitting tube 11 is suspended from the bottom center of the inner frame 12 of the lower ring by a hanging ring, and the rest is the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0029] The present invention is used in the same way as in Embodiment 1, except that the collision blocks 10 not only collide with each other to produce sound, but also collide with the hollow metal sound tube 11 to produce sound, resulting in richer collision sounds and better sound production effect.

[0030] This utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, the collision block 10 can also be a solid metal block or a hollow metal block.

[0031] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
