A cheek rest structure comprising a sliding support component and a positioning component was designed. The cheek rest plate can be conveniently adjusted by combining the sliding rail component and the positioning screw. The sliding rail component is equipped with a movable frame, and the positioning component includes a positioning platform and a sliding groove. The cheek rest plate is accurately positioned by using a positioning nut and a locking block.
It enables simple and precise adjustment of the chin rest without the need for professional tools, adapting to different players' physical conditions and holding habits, thus improving playing comfort and posture stability.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of musical instrument technology, specifically to a violin with an adjustable chin rest. Background Technology
[0002] During violin playing, the player needs to hold the violin between their shoulder and chin rest with their chin to stabilize the instrument and free their left hand. The chin rest not only affects the comfort of playing, but also the stability of the player's posture and their habit of holding the violin.
[0003] The chin rests of violins in the present technology are usually fixed structures, which are installed on the side of the tail of the violin body by screws or clamps. Although this type of chin rest installation method is simple in structure, it can only be loosened with special tools and then the left and right positions can be slightly adjusted. However, the up and down position is difficult to adjust. It is difficult to make flexible adjustments according to different players' jaw shape, neck length and violin holding habits, which often leads to problems such as neck fatigue and muscle stiffness when players play for a long time. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology by providing a violin with a reasonable design that facilitates chin support adjustment, thereby resolving the aforementioned deficiencies.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: it includes a support base plate disposed on the body of the instrument, a sliding support assembly is provided on the support base plate, a positioning assembly is provided in the sliding support assembly, and a chin rest plate is provided above the sliding support assembly.
[0006] Preferably, the sliding support assembly includes multiple sliding rail assemblies mounted on the support base plate, and a "T"-shaped movable frame is provided above the multiple sliding rail assemblies, on which the cheek rest is mounted.
[0007] Preferably, the bottom front end of the cheek rest is rotatably connected to the movable frame via a rotating shaft.
[0008] Preferably, the positioning component includes a positioning platform connected above the support base plate. The positioning platform is arranged parallel to the sliding rail assembly and has a sliding groove inside. A sliding groove is also formed at the bottom of the sliding groove. The width of the sliding groove is greater than that of the sliding groove. A movable locking block is movably arranged inside the sliding groove. A positioning screw is connected to the top of the movable locking block. A hole is formed in the movable frame. After the positioning screw passes through the sliding groove and the hole in the movable frame, a positioning nut is provided at its end.
[0009] Preferably, the movable frame has support blocks on both sides of the rear end for supporting the chin rest, and a buckle is provided between the top surface of the support block and the chin rest.
[0010] Preferably, the positioning nut is a ram's horn nut.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model after adopting the above structure are: 1. The violin designed in this utility model features an openable chin rest with a snap-on design. It can be opened simply by rotating it upwards, without the need for complete disassembly and repositioning, and without the need for professional tools, making adjustment simple and convenient.
[0012] 2. This utility model is designed with a sliding rail assembly and a positioning assembly, which allows the chin rest to slide smoothly, adjust its position with high precision, and is suitable for different people's physical conditions and usage habits. Attached Figure Description

Rotating shaft; 9. Positioning platform; 10. Positioning screw; 11. Positioning nut; 12. Sliding groove; 13. Movable locking block. Detailed Implementation
[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0016] See Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a support base plate 3 on the body 1, a sliding support assembly on the support base plate 3, a positioning assembly in the sliding support assembly, and a chin rest plate 2 above the sliding support assembly; The sliding support assembly includes multiple sliding rail assemblies 4 mounted on the support base plate 3, and a "T"-shaped movable frame 5 is provided above the multiple sliding rail assemblies 4, on which the cheek rest 2 is mounted; The bottom front end of the chin rest 2 is rotatably connected to the movable frame 5 via a rotating shaft 8. The upper and rear sides of the movable frame 5 are respectively provided with support blocks 6 for supporting the chin rest 2, and a buckle 7 is provided between the top surface of the support block 6 and the chin rest 2. The positioning assembly includes a positioning platform 9 connected above the support base plate 3. The positioning platform 9 is arranged parallel to the sliding rail assembly 4 and has a sliding groove inside. A sliding groove 12 is opened at the bottom of the sliding groove. The width of the sliding groove 12 is greater than that of the sliding groove. A movable locking block 13 is movably arranged inside the sliding groove 12. A positioning screw 10 is connected to the top of the movable locking block 13. A hole is opened in the movable frame 5. After the positioning screw 10 passes through the sliding groove and the hole in the movable frame 5, a positioning nut 11 is provided at its end. The positioning nut 11 is a swivel nut.
[0017] When adjustment is needed, lift the cheek rest 2 upwards, and press the support base 3 from the gap below to prevent movement. After the buckle 7 below the cheek rest 2 disengages, the cheek rest 2 can be lifted upwards. Then loosen the positioning nut 11, and the top surface of the movable block 13 will disengage from the top surface of the sliding groove 12. At this time, the movable frame 5 can slide along the sliding rail assembly 4. After adjusting to the appropriate position, tighten the positioning nut 11, which will cause the positioning screw 10 and the movable block 13 to tighten upwards and clamp the movable frame 5, thereby achieving positioning. Then rotate the cheek rest 2 downwards and press it back, so that the buckle 7 is locked, and the adjustment is completed without disassembling the cheek rest 2 as a whole.
[0018] It should be understood that the above-described specific embodiments of this utility model are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
