Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic musical instruments, specifically to a hi-hat with adjustable pedal stroke. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic hi-hats convert the user's foot strikes into electrical signals, which are then converted into sound signals to simulate the sound pattern of traditional hi-hats. However, different users have different foot lengths, foot strengths, and other physical conditions, making it difficult for ordinary hi-hats to meet the needs of various users. Users often need to adjust their striking habits according to the specific size and specifications of the hi-hat, which causes many inconveniences. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a hi-hat with adjustable striking stroke, comprising:

[0004] Mounting rack;

[0005] The lower cymbal is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket, and a reference end is mounted on the lower cymbal.

[0006] An upper cymbal is movably mounted on the mounting frame. A trigger end is mounted on the upper cymbal. An adjustment mechanism and a reset mechanism are provided between the upper cymbal and the mounting frame. When the upper cymbal is subjected to an external force, it can move relative to the mounting frame. Based on the reset mechanism, the upper cymbal can be reset to its initial position after movement. Based on the adjustment mechanism, the initial position of the upper cymbal on the mounting frame can be adjusted.

[0007] And a triggering element, which is disposed on the triggering end and / or the reference end, and the triggering element generates a corresponding electrical signal according to the change in the relative position of the triggering end and the reference end.

[0008] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment rod and an adjustment knob. The adjustment rod is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket, and the adjustment rod is threadedly engaged with the adjustment knob. The adjustment knob can reciprocate on the adjustment rod based on its own rotation. The upper cymbal is located on the side of the adjustment knob closer to the lower cymbal. The initial position of the upper cymbal is the position when the upper cymbal abuts against the adjustment knob.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting frame is rod-shaped, and the upper cymbal and the lower cymbal are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the mounting frame. The adjusting rod is sleeved on the mounting frame. The upper cymbal is sleeved on the mounting frame or the adjusting rod. When the upper cymbal is subjected to an external force, the upper cymbal moves along the axial direction of the mounting frame.

[0010] Preferably, the reset mechanism includes a reset spring, which is disposed between the adjusting knob and the upper cymbal, and / or the reset spring is disposed between the upper cymbal and the lower cymbal.

[0011] Preferably, the adjustment knob has a friction-enhancing structure on its circumferential surface, or the adjustment knob has a radially extending rotary handle.

[0012] Preferably, the triggering element includes a thin-film internal resistance switch disposed on the reference end and a trigger roller disposed on the trigger end. The circumferential surface of the trigger roller abuts against the surface of the thin-film internal resistance switch in a radial direction. When the upper cymbal moves relative to the lower cymbal, the trigger roller rolls on the thin-film internal resistance switch.

The lower cymbal and its reference end are fixedly mounted on the mounting frame, while the upper cymbal is movably mounted on the mounting frame. A triggering end is mounted on the upper cymbal. When the upper cymbal is subjected to an external force, it can move relative to the lower cymbal, thereby causing the triggering end to move relative to the reference end. The triggering element can generate a corresponding electrical signal based on this relative movement. An adjustment mechanism and a reset mechanism are provided between the upper cymbal and the mounting frame. Under the action of the reset mechanism, the upper cymbal can be reset to its initial position after relative movement with the lower cymbal.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the adjustable pedal stroke cymbal provided in this embodiment of the utility model; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the adjustable pedal stroke cymbal provided in this embodiment of the utility model; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the trigger of the adjustable pedal stroke hi-hat provided in this embodiment of the utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a hi-hat with adjustable stroke, including a mounting frame 1 and a lower cymbal 2 and an upper cymbal 3 mounted on the mounting frame 1. The lower cymbal 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1, and a reference end 41 of a trigger 4 is mounted on the lower cymbal 2. The upper cymbal 3 is movably connected to the mounting frame 1, and a trigger end 42 of the trigger 4 is mounted on the upper cymbal 3. When the upper cymbal 3 is subjected to external force (especially when stepped on by the player), the upper cymbal 3 can move on the mounting frame 1, thereby driving the trigger end 42 to move relative to the reference end 41. The trigger element can generate a corresponding electrical signal according to the relative movement between the trigger end 42 and the reference end 41. This electrical signal can be converted into a sound signal by other electrical components connected to the hi-hat and played, realizing the function of the hi-hat.

[0025] An adjustment mechanism and a reset mechanism are provided between the upper cymbal 3 and the mounting frame 1. Under the action of the reset mechanism, the upper cymbal 3 can be reset to its initial position after relative movement with the lower cymbal 2. Under the action of the adjustment mechanism, the initial position of the upper cymbal 3 on the mounting frame 1 can be adjusted. By adjusting the initial position of the upper cymbal 3, the initial relative position of the trigger end 42 and the reference end 41 can be adjusted according to the actual user experience when the user steps on the upper cymbal 3. Under different initial relative positions, the same step by the user can achieve different effects, which can improve the applicability of the hi-hat and improve the user experience.

[0026] It should be noted that the upper and lower cymbals in this embodiment are structures similar in shape to traditional cymbals as shown in the accompanying drawings. This cymbal structure is only used to mimic the shape of the original cymbals and to facilitate the user's stepping and transmit the stepping to the trigger. Therefore, in actual production applications, the upper and lower cymbals are not limited to the structure of the cymbals shown in the accompanying drawings, and can also be other structures, which will not be elaborated here.

[0027] Meanwhile, the foot strike described in this utility model can be a foot-touch triggering method similar to that of a traditional hi-hat. Specifically, the mounting frame 1 is divided into a fixed part and a movable part. The movable part can reciprocate axially relative to the fixed part, and the movable part is connected to a foot pedal structure. Relatively fixed components such as the lower cymbal 2 are mounted on the fixed part, while relatively movable components such as the upper cymbal 3, the adjustment mechanism, and the trigger end 42 are mounted on the movable part (at this time, the adjustment mechanism adjusts the mounting position of the upper cymbal 3 on the movable part). When the performer steps on the foot pedal structure, the movable part drives the upper cymbal 3 and other components to move relative to the lower cymbal 2 and other components, thus completing the foot strike triggering. In addition, any other foot strike method can be used, such as connecting the foot pedal to the upper cymbal 3 in other ways, as long as the upper cymbal 3 and other components can move relative to the lower cymbal 2 when the performer steps on it. This utility model aims to provide a solution for adjusting the foot strike stroke and the corresponding foot strike triggering, without making specific limitations on how the foot strike is formed or the corresponding structure.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, in one preferred embodiment, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment rod 31 and an adjustment knob 32. The adjustment rod 31 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 1. The adjustment rod 31 and the adjustment knob 32 are threaded together. The adjustment knob 32 can reciprocate on the adjustment rod 31 based on its own rotation. The upper cymbal 3 is located on the side of the adjustment knob 32 near the lower cymbal 2. The initial position of the upper cymbal 3 is the position when the upper cymbal abuts against the adjustment knob 32. By rotating the adjustment knob 32, the initial position of the upper cymbal 3 changes with the position of the adjustment knob 32 on the adjustment rod 31, making the initial position closer to or further away from the lower cymbal 2, thereby adjusting the initial relative position of the trigger end 42 and the reference end 41.

[0029] exist Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the adjustment mechanism further includes a second mounting portion 33 sleeved on the mounting frame 1 (or adjustment rod 31). The upper cymbal 3 is located between the second mounting portion 33 and the adjustment knob 32. A reset mechanism is disposed at the second mounting portion 33 and applies a reset force to the second mounting portion 33 towards the adjustment knob 32, so that the second mounting portion 33 and the adjustment knob 32 can clamp the upper cymbal 3. When the adjustment knob 32 reciprocates on the adjustment rod 31, the second mounting portion 33 and the upper cymbal 3 can follow the movement of the adjustment knob 32. By providing the second mounting portion 33, it is easier to install and fix the upper cymbal 3 on the mounting frame 1 (or adjustment rod 31), which simplifies the structure of the cymbal and makes it easier to replace different types of cymbals as needed during actual use, thus improving ease of use.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, a friction-enhancing structure is provided on the circumferential surface of the adjustment knob 32. This friction-enhancing structure can be... Figure 2 The vertical grooves (vertical protrusions) extending axially on its circumferential surface shown can increase the frictional force that the user can apply to the adjustment knob 32 when manually rotating it, making it easier to rotate and adjust the adjustment knob 32; in some other embodiments, the friction enhancement structure can also be a knurled structure, or a rotating handle extending radially on the adjustment knob, etc., to improve the convenience of rotating the adjustment knob 32.

[0031] In addition, in some other embodiments, the adjustment mechanism may also use a pad provided on the mounting frame. The installation position of the pad on the mounting frame is adjustable and the pad and the mounting frame can be locked to each other. The reset mechanism can drive the upper cymbal to reset to the initial position on one side of the pad. The pad is used to adjust the initial position of the upper cymbal on the mounting frame, etc. The specific structure of the adjustment mechanism can be adapted to actual needs, which will not be elaborated here.

[0032] In one preferred embodiment, the mounting frame 1 is rod-shaped, with the upper cymbal 3 and lower cymbal 2 arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the mounting frame 1. An adjusting rod 31 is sleeved on the mounting frame 1, and the upper cymbal 3 is sleeved on either the mounting frame 1 or the adjusting rod 31. When the upper cymbal 3 is subjected to external force, it reciprocates along the axial direction of the mounting frame 1. By setting the mounting frame 1 to be rod-shaped, with both the cymbals and the adjusting rod sleeved on this rod, the overall structure of the hi-hat is made closer to that of a traditional hi-hat, and installation of the hi-hat is also easier.

[0033] In one preferred embodiment, the reset mechanism includes a reset spring disposed between the adjustment knob 32 and the upper cymbal 3. The reset spring applies a pulling force to the adjustment knob 32 and the upper cymbal 3, bringing them closer together. When the upper cymbal 3 is in its initial position, the tension length of the reset spring is relatively short. When the upper cymbal 3 receives a tap, it moves downward, and the reset spring is stretched until the tapping ends. At this point, the reset spring pulls the upper cymbal 3 back to its initial position at the adjustment knob 32. When adjusting the position of the adjustment knob 32 on the adjustment rod 31, the adjustment knob 32 can drive the upper cymbal 3 to move synchronously via the reset spring, thereby achieving the adjustment of the initial position of the upper cymbal 3.

[0034] The return spring can also be located between the upper cymbal 3 and the lower cymbal 2. Specifically, it can be between the two cymbals or between the trigger end 42 and the reference end 41, as long as one end of the return spring is based on a component fixed on the mounting bracket 1 and the other end is connected to the upper cymbal 3 or the trigger end 42 or other related moving components. Taking the installation between the two cymbals as an example, the return spring applies a pushing force to the upper cymbal 3 and the lower cymbal 2 to make them move away from each other, so that the return spring can push the upper cymbal 3 to the upper limit position close to the adjustment knob 32. When the upper cymbal 3 receives a step, the upper cymbal 3 moves downward, and the return spring is compressed until the step ends. The return spring pushes the upper cymbal 3 away from the lower cymbal 2. When adjusting the position of the adjustment knob 32 on the adjustment rod 31, the return spring always pushes the upper cymbal 3 close to the adjustment knob 32, so that the upper cymbal 3 and the adjustment knob 32 move synchronously.

[0035] Alternatively, the reset mechanism can adopt other reset methods. For example, in some embodiments, permanent magnet patches are installed on both the upper cymbal 3 and the lower cymbal 2, or the upper cymbal 3 and the lower cymbal 2 are made of magnetic material, and the sides of the upper cymbal 3 and the lower cymbal 2 that are close to each other are of the same pole, so that there is a repulsive force between the two cymbals. This repulsive force can push the upper cymbal 3 away from the lower cymbal 2 and make the upper cymbal 3 close to the adjustment knob 32, which can also achieve the reset of the upper cymbal 3. The specific structure of the reset mechanism and the adjustment mechanism can be adapted according to actual needs, or some related technical solutions in the prior art can be selected for use, which will not be elaborated here.

[0036] like Figure 3As shown, in one preferred embodiment, the triggering element includes a thin-film internal resistance switch 412 disposed on the reference end 41 and a trigger roller 422 disposed on the trigger end 42. The circumferential surface of the trigger roller 422 abuts against the surface of the thin-film internal resistance switch 412 in a radial direction. When the upper cymbal 3 moves relative to the lower cymbal 2 (i.e., when the trigger end 42 moves relative to the reference end 41), the trigger roller 422 rolls on the thin-film internal resistance switch 412. The thin-film internal resistance switch 412 can identify the movement parameters of the upper cymbal 3 according to the movement speed, total distance and other parameters of the trigger roller 422, and thus identify the stomping of different forces and speeds.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the reference end 41 also includes a base 411, which is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 1 to support and mount components such as the thin-film internal resistance switch 412. The trigger end 42 includes a support sleeve 421, which is connected to the upper cymbal 3. A rolling shaft is provided on the support sleeve 421 for the rotatable mounting of the trigger roller 422. A housing is provided on the base 411, and an opening is provided on the upper part of the housing for the reciprocating motion of the support sleeve 421, so that the trigger 4 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it can provide good protection for the internal structure of the trigger 4, especially the electrical components.

[0038] The support sleeve 421 can be directly connected to the upper cymbal 3, or a first washer 423, a buffer spring 424, and a second washer 425 can be fitted onto the mounting bracket 1 (or adjusting rod 41). The buffer spring 424 is in a compressed state, causing the first washer 423 to abut against the upper cymbal 3 (or... Figure 2 As shown in the second mounting part 33), the second washer 425 abuts against the support sleeve 421. When the upper cymbal 3 receives the impact and moves downward, the first washer 423, the buffer spring 424 and the second washer 425 can play a good buffering role, thereby playing a good protective role for the support sleeve 421.

[0039] In one preferred embodiment, a buffer portion is provided at the part of the upper cymbal 3 that approaches the adjustment mechanism. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In particular, a buffer part is provided near the adjustment knob 32 and the second mounting part 33. When the upper cymbal 3 is stepped on and generates a large contact force with the second mounting part 33, and when it generates a large contact force with the adjustment knob 32 under the action of the reset mechanism, it can buffer the impact and improve the service life. The buffer part can be a structure such as a rubber pad on the upper and lower sides of the upper cymbal 3, or some existing related technical solutions can be referenced. As long as it can play a corresponding protective role for the upper cymbal 3, the adjustment knob 32 and the second mounting part 33, it is acceptable.

[0040] Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of the lower cymbal of the adjustable-stroke hi-hat provided in this embodiment of the present invention.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the lower cymbal 2 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 1 by the first mounting part 21, which makes it easier to install the lower cymbal 2 on the mounting frame 1, and can relatively simplify the structure of the lower cymbal 2. It is also easier to replace different types of cymbals as needed during actual use, thus improving the convenience of use.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, in one preferred embodiment, a wire hole 22 is provided on the lower cymbal 2 for the insertion and installation of the connecting cable of the trigger element. The lower cymbal 2 is funnel-shaped with its opening facing upward, so that the trigger 4 composed of the reference end 41 and the aforementioned housing is located inside the lower cymbal 2, which can provide better protection for the trigger 4. The wire hole 22 is located on the side wall of the lower cymbal 2 and corresponds to the reference end 41 and the housing in the horizontal direction, which makes it easier for the connecting cable to pass through the wire hole 22 and be directly connected to the trigger 4, making it easier to install and use. An adapter 5 can also be installed inside the wire hole 22 on the lower cymbal 2. The connector of the adapter 5 is aligned with the wire hole 22. After the external cable passes through the wire hole 22, it is directly connected to the adapter 5. The inside of the adapter 5 is connected to the trigger 4 through a fixed cable. On the one hand, it can realize the conversion of power and signal between the external cable and the trigger 4. On the other hand, the external cable is directly plugged into the adapter 5 at the wire hole 22, which makes it easier to plug and unplug the hi-hat structure and improves the convenience of use.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions to the technical solution of this utility model do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered by the claims of this utility model.
