Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of pipa technology, specifically to an electronic pipa. Background Technology

[0002] The pipa is one of China's most representative plucked string instruments, boasting a history of over two thousand years and possessing both profound cultural heritage and unique artistic expression. When played, the player plucks the strings, causing them to vibrate and triggering the soundboard to resonate. The vibration of the soundboard causes the air inside the soundbox to vibrate, releasing sound waves through the tone holes, creating a "round and focused" tonal quality.

[0003] However, most pipa currently produce a relatively quiet sound, making it difficult to meet the demands of large-scale performances. They cannot effectively amplify the original sound of the pipa. Furthermore, when installing pickups on a pipa, it is often difficult to ensure the aesthetics of the installation process and the optimal position of the resonance area inside the instrument, making it impossible to achieve a perfect integration of the pickup strip with the overall characteristics and appearance. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, this application provides an electronic pipa to solve the problems of existing pipa that cannot effectively amplify the original sound of pipa playing, and that it is often difficult to ensure the aesthetics of the installation process and the optimal resonance area inside the instrument when installing the pickup.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An electric pipa includes a soundboard, a headband, and a pickup. The body is mounted on the outer rear end of the soundboard, and a headstock is fixedly mounted on the top of the body. A tuning peg is inserted into the headstock.

[0007] A headband is fixedly installed at the lower front end of the panel, and a string is installed through the inside of the headband.

[0008] A pickup is fixedly installed inside the lower end of the instrument body by screws, and a pickup bar is connected to the front end of the pickup. The front end of the pickup bar is located inside the headband, and a connecting strip that contacts the pickup bar is installed inside the upper end of the headband.

[0009] Furthermore, multiple sets of frets are fixedly installed on the upper side of the front surface of the panel, and frets are also located on the front surface of the panel below the frets.

[0010] Furthermore, the two ends of the string are connected to the tuning peg and the headband, respectively, and the lower end of the string is in contact with the connecting strip.

[0011] Furthermore, the length of the connecting strip is greater than the length of the pickup strip inside the instrument body, in order to cover the pickup strip.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer side of the connecting strip protrudes from the outer surface of the binding head, and the protrusion dimension is 3mm.

[0013] Furthermore, two sets of sound beams are fixedly installed inside the instrument body.

[0014] Furthermore, the lower end of the pickup is connected to a connector, and the connector extends through the interior of the rear end of the instrument body.

[0015] Furthermore, the pickup has a switch button and an adjustment button located on the back of the instrument body on its outer side, and a charging port is located on the lower side of the pickup.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The vibration of the strings is transmitted to the pickup bar through the connecting strip. The pickup bar is responsible for transmitting the vibration signal transmitted by the connecting strip to the pickup, so that the pickup can capture the vibration signal of the strings when playing and convert it into an electrical signal. The connector can be connected to the connector of the audio equipment and then amplified by the audio equipment so that the audience can hear the original sound of the pipa more clearly during the performance.

[0018] 2. The connecting strip is longer than the length of the pickup bar inside the instrument body, used to conceal the pickup bar. During installation, the end of the pickup bar furthest from the pickup passes through the soundboard and headband, so that this end is inside the headband. The connecting strip is then installed inside the upper part of the headband, concealing the pickup bar. This ensures an aesthetically pleasing installation process, allowing the pickup bar to perfectly blend with the instrument's characteristics and overall appearance. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an electric pipa in the first aspect embodiment of this application includes: a soundboard 1, a headband 5, and a pickup 10. The body 2 is installed on the outer rear end of the soundboard 1, and the headstock 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the body 2. The headstock 3 is inserted and installed with tuning pegs 4. The headband 5 is fixedly installed on the lower front side of the soundboard 1, and the headband 5 is through which strings 6 are installed. Two sets of sound beams 9 are fixedly installed inside the body 2.

[0028] The two ends of the string 6 are connected to the tuning peg 4 and the headband 5 respectively, which makes it easy to install multiple sets of strings 6 on the outside of the panel 1 through the headband 5 and the tuning peg 4.

[0029] Meanwhile, multiple sets of vibrating instruments 7 are fixedly installed on the upper side of the front surface of the panel 1, and frets 8, which are also located on the front surface of the panel 1, are set below the vibrating instruments 7. Both the vibrating instruments 7 and the frets 8 are located behind the strings 6, making it convenient to play different timbres through the strings 6, the vibrating instruments 7 and the frets 8.

[0030] The lower end of the body 2 is fitted with a pickup 10 by screws, and the front end of the pickup 10 is connected to a pickup bar 12. The front end of the pickup bar 12 is located inside the headband 5, and the upper end of the headband 5 is fitted with a connecting bar 13 that contacts the pickup bar 12.

[0031] The connecting strip 13 is longer than the pickup bar 12 located inside the body 2, and is used to conceal the pickup bar 12. During installation, the end of the pickup bar 12 furthest from the pickup 10 is passed through the panel 1 and the headband 5, so that the end of the pickup bar 12 furthest from the pickup 10 is located inside the headband 5. Then, the connecting strip 13 is installed inside the upper part of the headband 5, so that the connecting strip 13 conceals the pickup bar 12, thus ensuring the aesthetics of the installation process and achieving a perfect integration of the pickup bar 12 with the instrument's characteristics and appearance. Meanwhile, since the body 2 is made of wood, before installing the pickup 10, the optimal resonance area inside the body 2 can be located, and then a through hole matching the size of the pickup 10 can be cut at the corresponding location on the body 2, allowing for the installation of the pickup 10.

[0032] The lower end of string 6 is in contact with connecting strip 13, and connecting strip 13 is in contact with pickup strip 12. The outer side of connecting strip 13 protrudes from the outer surface of head 5, and the protrusion is 3mm, which can effectively ensure that string 6 and connecting strip 13 are always in contact, so that the original vibration of string 6 can be better transmitted to pickup strip 12 through connecting strip 13.

[0033] Meanwhile, the lower end of the pickup 10 is connected to a connector 11, which extends through the rear end of the instrument body 2. A switch button 14 and an adjustment button 15 are located on the back of the instrument body 2 on the outside of the pickup 10. A charging port 16 is located on the lower side of the pickup 10. The switch button 14 is used to turn the pickup 10 on and off, the adjustment button 15 is used to adjust the volume, and the charging port 16 is used for charging. The connector 11 can be connected to an audio system, allowing the pickup 10 to capture the vibration signal of the strings 6 during playing through the pickup bar 12, convert it into an electrical signal, and then amplify it through the audio equipment, so that the audience can hear the original sound of the pipa more clearly during the performance. The working principle of the pickup 10 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] Working principle

[0035] First, install the pickup 10 inside the body 2 using screws. Then, pass the pickup bar 12, with the end furthest from the pickup 10, through the panel 1 and the headband 5, so that the furthest end of the pickup bar 12 is inside the headband 5. Next, install the connecting strip 13 inside the upper end of the headband 5, so that the connecting strip 13 covers the pickup bar 12, thus ensuring the aesthetics of the installation process. Finally, connect it to the amp via the connector 11.

[0036] After the pickup bar 12 is installed, glue and fix the panel 1 to the outside of the body 2, and then install the tuning pegs 4 and strings 6 in sequence, so that the strings 6 are in contact with the connecting bar 13, and ensure that the strings 6 and the connecting bar 13 are always in contact.

[0037] Before playing, turn on the pickup 10 using switch button 14, and then adjust the volume using adjustment button 15. During playing, the connecting strip 13 transmits the vibration of the string 6 to the pickup strip 12. The pickup strip 12 is responsible for transmitting the vibration signal transmitted by the connecting strip 13 to the pickup 10, converting it into an electrical signal, and then amplifying it through the audio equipment. This allows the audience to hear the original sound of the pipa more clearly during the performance.

[0038] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way (as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features). For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described; these embodiments not explicitly written should also be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
