[0002] With social development and technological advancements, some electronic plucked string instruments have emerged on the market. These instruments use pickups to detect which string is plucked and play corresponding synthesized sounds. However, to avoid the problem that "existing electronic plucked string instruments produce noise when the string is plucked, which undoubtedly interferes with the played synthesized sounds and affects the final sound quality," a Chinese utility model patent with application number CN202121184167.X has appeared on the market. This patent discloses a string-plucking device, including a controller, several plucking components with elastic deformation capabilities, and a sensor module for detecting the deformation position and magnitude of the plucking components. Although the aforementioned string-plucking device does not produce noise or interfere with the played synthesized sounds when identifying which string is plucked by the finger, there is an urgent need for a light-emitting string-plucking device with lighting effects to further enhance the immersive playing experience and improve the user experience. Utility Model Content:

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a light-emitting plucking device that addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies.

Each of the plucking elements includes a main body and a light-transmitting part for the light generated by the light-emitting module to pass through.

[0009] A further improvement to the above solution is that the main body of the pry bar is made of opaque silicone material, and the light-transmitting part of the pry bar is made of light-transmitting plastic material.

[0010] A further improvement to the above solution is that the light-emitting module includes the same number of LEDs as the toggle switches, with each LED disposed below the light-transmitting portion of each toggle switch.

[0011] A further improvement to the above scheme is that the sensor module is a piezoresistive thin-film sensor.

[0012] A further improvement to the above scheme is that multiple wavy protrusions are formed on both sides of each of the aforementioned spring components, arranged at equal intervals from front to back.

[0019] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic plucked string instrument according to the present invention.

[0020] Explanation of reference numerals in the attached drawings: Controller 1, spring-loaded component 2, main body 21, light-transmitting part 22, wave protrusion 23, sensor module 3, light-emitting module 4, LED 41. Detailed implementation method:

[0021] Example 1, as Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model discloses a light-emitting plucking device, comprising a controller 1, several plucking elements 2 with elastic deformation capability, a sensor module 3 for detecting the deformation position and magnitude of the plucking elements 2, and a light-emitting module 4 for generating light. Each plucking element 2 includes a main body 21 and a light-transmitting part 22 for the light generated by the light-emitting module 4 to pass through. The sensor module 3 and the light-emitting module 4 are electrically connected to the control module. This light-emitting plucking device, while ensuring sound quality and avoiding interference with the played electronically synthesized sound, also provides a light effect, further enhancing the immersive experience of the performance and improving the user experience, making it more appealing to consumers.

[0022] The light-transmitting part 22 is located in the middle of the main body part 21, which can better showcase the light-emitting effect.

[0023] The light-transmitting part 22 has a strip-shaped structure, which can better fit the shape of the string and further enhance the light-emitting effect.

[0024] Compared to the entire plectrum 2 emitting light, the main body 21 of the plectrum 2 of this invention is made of opaque silicone material, while the light-transmitting part 22 of the plectrum 2 is made of light-transmitting silicone material. Only the light-transmitting part 22 can emit light, resulting in a better overall light emission effect.

[0025] The light-transmitting part 22 of the plectrum 2 of this utility model can also be made of light-transmitting plastic material. By combining the main body 21 made of opaque silicone material with the light-transmitting part 22 made of light-transmitting plastic material, the plectrum 2 can have better strength and hardness and a better plectrum feel while ensuring the overall light-emitting effect.

[0026] Compared to a single LED 41 where all the light-transmitting parts 22 of the plucked pieces 2 emit light through the same LED 41, the light-emitting module 4 of this invention includes the same number of LEDs 41 as the plucked pieces 2, with each LED 41 positioned below the light-transmitting part 22 of each plucked piece 2. By having each LED 41 correspond to each plucked piece 2, the light-emitting effect of each plucked piece 2 can be controlled individually. For example, the light-transmitting parts 22 of each plucked piece 2 can display different colors of light, making the overall effect more dazzling. Furthermore, by combining software, only the light-transmitting part 22 of one plucked piece 2 can be made to emit light, thus achieving a follow-up playing mode where only the lit plucked piece 2 is played, making it more practical.

[0027] Sensor module 3 is a piezoresistive thin-film sensor. By plucking each plucking element 2, each plucking element 2 will produce different deformations according to different plucking positions and force. The piezoresistive thin-film sensor will identify the deformation position and magnitude of the plucking element 2 and send corresponding electrical signals to the controller 1. The controller 1 outputs internally predefined note data and force data according to the detection of the piezoresistive thin-film sensor, thereby realizing the performance.

[0028] Each of the aforementioned plucking components 2 has multiple wave protrusions 23 formed at equal intervals from front to back on both sides. These wave protrusions 23 not only enhance the structural strength of the plucking component 2, but also provide a better plucking feel.

[0029] The main body 21 and the light-transmitting part 22 of each of the aforementioned spring-loaded parts are integrated into one structure, and the bonding strength between the main body 21 and the light-transmitting part 22 is higher and less likely to fall off.

[0030] Example 2, as Figure 3 As shown, an electronic plucked string instrument includes a light-emitting plucked string device as described in Embodiment 1. While ensuring sound quality and avoiding interference with the played electronically synthesized sound, it also features lighting effects, which can further enhance the immersive experience of the performance and improve the user experience, making it more appealing to consumers.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] During performance, the performer can use traditional instrument playing techniques to pluck each of the plucking parts 2. Each plucking part 2 will deform accordingly when plucked, squeezing the piezoresistive thin-film sensor. Depending on the plucking position and the magnitude of the plucking force, the piezoresistive thin-film sensor will be subjected to different squeezing conditions and generate different detection results. By mapping the different plucking conditions to the detection results of the piezoresistive thin-film sensor, the controller 1 can identify the performer's plucking position and the magnitude of the plucking force, and output internally predefined note data and dynamic data, realizing the plucking functions such as strumming of traditional electronic instruments. Light is generated by the light-emitting module 4, and the light generated by the light-emitting module 4 will shine through the light-transmitting part 22 of the plucking part 2, which can not only provide a lighting effect while plucking, making the performance cooler, but also combine the lighting effect to achieve follow-along playing, which can further enhance the immersive performance, improve the user experience, and be more popular with consumers.

[0033] 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.
