Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of guitar technology, and specifically to an electronic guitar playing aid. Background Technology

[0002] A guitar is a plucked string instrument, including acoustic guitars and electric guitars. Acoustic guitars produce sound through a resonating chamber; by plucking the strings, the vibrations are transmitted through the bridge to the soundboard, causing the entire resonating chamber (soundboard, back, and sides) to vibrate. Sound is thus amplified physical vibrations. Electric guitars, on the other hand, produce sound by pressing keys, which send signals to a circuit board that transmits these signals to a speaker, producing the guitar's sound. However, both types of guitars can only produce one sound at a time; an acoustic guitar only produces its own acoustic sound. To produce both acoustic and electric guitar sounds, two guitars are needed, making them expensive and inconvenient to carry. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electronic guitar playing aid. By fitting the mounting hole with mounting part one or by setting mounting part two, the main body can be placed on the neck of an acoustic guitar. Due to its length, the guitar strings can be exposed, thus producing two sounds. When the acoustic guitar needs to play, the strings can be played, and when the electronic guitar sound is needed, the main body can be used. This solves the problem that the guitar can only produce one sound.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0005] An electronic guitar playing aid includes a main body, which can be used as an electronic guitar to play music, and the length of the main body is 40cm to 70cm.

[0006] The main body has at least one mounting hole on its side that communicates with the interior of the main body, and the bottom surface of the main body is a contact surface. The mounting hole is used to fit with a mounting piece so that the main body is placed on the neck of the acoustic guitar. At this time, the contact surface abuts against the top surface of the neck.

[0007] Alternatively, mounting parts 2 are provided on both sides of the main body, and the bottom surface of the main body is the contact surface. The mounting parts 2 are used to place the main body on the neck of the acoustic guitar, in which case the contact surface abuts against the top surface of the neck.

[0008] Preferably, the main body has two mounting holes on its side, and the two mounting holes are located on the same side.

[0009] Alternatively, the two mounting holes are located on two sides, and the two mounting holes are staggered.

[0010] Preferably, mounting holes are provided on both sides of the main body, and the mounting holes on the two sides are symmetrically arranged to form a through hole on the main body.

[0011] Preferably, the main body is provided with a button area, and the mounting hole is located below the button area and / or at the end of the main body.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting component is a mounting clip, and the mounting clip includes a clamping part one and a clamping part two rotatably disposed on the clamping part one. A driving part for driving the clamping part two to rotate is provided on one side of the clamping part two, and an elastic member is provided between the clamping part one and the clamping part two. By pressing the driving part, the clamping part two is driven to rotate, and the base plate of the main body and the neck of the acoustic guitar are located between the clamping part one and the clamping part two.

[0013] Preferably, the mounting element is a mounting strap, and the two ends of the mounting strap are connected by Velcro. The main body is mounted on the neck of the acoustic guitar by passing one end of the mounting strap through the mounting hole and the main body and connecting it with the other end of the mounting strap.

[0014] Preferably, the second mounting component is a clamping plate, and the clamping plate is rotatably mounted on the side of the main body and an elastic component is provided between the clamping plate and the side of the main body. By pressing the clamping plate, the clamping plate is rotated and the clamping plates on both sides are clamped to the neck of the acoustic guitar.

[0015] Preferably, the main body includes a bottom plate and a top plate, and a side plate one and a side plate two located between the bottom plate and the top plate, wherein the length of the side plate one is greater than the length of the side plate two and the mounting hole is provided therein;

[0016] A circuit board, buttons, paddles, a power supply, and a speaker are provided between the bottom plate and the top plate. The circuit board is provided with contact point one and contact point two corresponding to the buttons and paddles, respectively. The circuit board is electrically connected to the power supply and the speaker. The top plate has openings corresponding to the buttons and paddles so that the tops of the buttons and paddles are exposed. The main body has a sound outlet hole corresponding to the speaker.

[0017] The outstanding and beneficial technical effects of this utility model compared to the prior art are:

[0018] This invention allows the main body to be mounted on the neck of an acoustic guitar via a mounting hole that mates with mounting component one or mounting component two. The main body's length, 40cm to 70cm, is exactly less than or equal to the guitar neck length, thus exposing the guitar's strings. This allows for the production of two sounds: the acoustic guitar strings can be played when acoustic guitar sound is desired, while the main body can be used to produce the sound of an electric guitar. Furthermore, compared to two separate guitars, the combination of the main body and the acoustic guitar is less expensive and occupies less space, making it convenient to carry.

[0028] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an electronic guitar playing aid includes a main body 1, which can be used as an electronic guitar to play music, and the length of the main body 1 is 40cm to 70cm. The main body 1 can be mounted on the neck 21 of an acoustic guitar. The corresponding mounting structure can be as follows: firstly, at least one mounting hole 11 communicating with the interior of the main body 1 is opened on the side of the main body 1, and the bottom surface of the main body 1 is a contact surface. The mounting hole 11 is used to fit with a mounting component to mount the main body 1 onto the neck 21 of the acoustic guitar, at which point the contact surface abuts against the top surface of the neck 21.

[0030] Alternatively: First, mounting parts 2 are provided on both sides of the main body 1, and the bottom surface of the main body 1 is the contact surface. The mounting parts 2 are used to place the main body 1 on the neck 21 of the acoustic guitar, at which time the contact surface abuts against the top surface of the neck 21.

[0031] Therefore, in actual use, the main body 1 can be mounted on the neck 21 of the acoustic guitar by matching the mounting hole 11 with mounting part one or by setting mounting part two. The length of the main body 1 is precisely less than or equal to the length of the guitar neck 21, thus exposing the guitar strings. This allows for the production of two sounds: when the acoustic guitar is needed, the strings can be played; when the electric guitar sound is desired, the main body 1 can be used. Furthermore, compared to two guitars, the combination of the main body 1 and the acoustic guitar is less expensive and takes up less space, making it convenient to carry. Moreover, when not combined, they can be used independently.

[0032] like Figures 1-4 As shown, for stable installation, two mounting holes 11 are provided on the side of the main body 1. The positions of the mounting holes 11 can vary; they can be located on the same side or on two different sides, with the two mounting holes 11 being staggered. Therefore, in actual use, two-point installation makes the installation more stable.

[0033] Furthermore, since the mounting components sometimes pass through the main body 1, mounting holes 11 are provided on both sides of the main body 1. These mounting holes 11 are symmetrically arranged and form a through hole on the main body 1. Therefore, in actual use, the through hole allows for the adaptation of more mounting components and increases the contact area between the mounting components and the main body 1, thus making the installation more stable.

[0034] Meanwhile, the main body 1 is provided with a button area (the area where the button 17 is provided). In order to avoid the mounting hole 11 from affecting other parts and to facilitate the installation of the mounting parts, the mounting hole 11 is located below the button area and / or at the end of the main body 1.

[0035] This is because there is extra space below the key area and at the end of the main body 1 for mounting components. Therefore, opening holes below the key area and / or at the end of the main body 1 can prevent the mounting hole 11 from affecting other components and also facilitates the installation of the components. In addition, the thickness of the headstock 22 and body 23 of the acoustic guitar is greater than that of the neck 21, and one end of the neck 21 is connected to the body 23. Furthermore, the thickness of the neck 21 is suitable for installation. Therefore, the mounting hole 11 is provided at the end of the main body 1 near the headstock 22.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the structure of the first mounting component is varied, and it can be a mounting clip 3 or a mounting belt, etc. When the first mounting component is a mounting clip 3, the structure of the mounting clip 3 is as follows: First, the mounting clip 3 includes a clamping part 31 and a clamping part 32 rotatably disposed on the clamping part 31. A driving part 33 for driving the clamping part 32 to rotate is provided on one side of the clamping part 32, and an elastic member 34 is provided between the clamping part 31 and the clamping part 32.

[0037] Therefore, in actual use, pressing the drive part 33 will drive the clamping part 2 32 to rotate, and the base plate 12 of the main body 1 and the neck 21 of the acoustic guitar will be located between the clamping part 1 31 and the clamping part 2 32.

[0038] Secondly, the clamping part 31 includes a plate 1 and a plate 2, and the plate 1 and the clamping part 2 32 are adapted to clamp each other. An elastic element is provided between the plate 2 and the clamping part 2 32. At the same time, the connection between the plate 1 and the plate 2 and the clamping part 2 32 is rotatably connected and adopts a shaft hole structure. Furthermore, the clamping surfaces (i.e. the surfaces in contact with the clamped object) of the plate 1 and the clamping part 2 32 are provided with flexible elements to avoid wear, etc.

[0039] Furthermore, the elastic element 34 is a spring, and the clamping part 31 is provided with a column, and the plate 2 is slotted, with the two ends of the spring respectively sleeved on the outside of the column and in the slot of the plate 2.

[0040] When the mounting component is a mounting strap, the structure of the mounting strap is as follows: First, the two ends of the mounting strap are connected by Velcro. Therefore, in actual use, the main body 1 is set on the neck 21 of the acoustic guitar by passing one end of the mounting strap through the mounting hole 11 and the main body 1 and connecting it with the other end of the mounting strap.

[0041] Meanwhile, the structure of the second mounting component is as follows: First, the second mounting component is a clamping plate, and the clamping plate is rotatably mounted on the side of the main body 1, with an elastic element 2 positioned between the clamping plate and the side of the main body 1. The rotating structure of the clamping plate is a shaft hole structure, and the elastic element 2 can be a torsion spring located on the shaft of the rotating structure. Therefore, in actual use, pressing the clamping plate will cause it to rotate, allowing the clamping plates on both sides to clamp onto both sides of the neck 21 of the acoustic guitar, thereby achieving the installation between the main body 1 and the neck 21 of the acoustic guitar.

[0042] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the other structures of the main body 1 are as follows: First, the main body 1 includes a bottom plate 12 and a top plate 13, as well as a side plate 14 and a side plate 2 15 located between the bottom plate 12 and the top plate 13, and the length of the side plate 14 is greater than the length of the side plate 2 15 and is provided with the mounting hole 11.

[0043] The connection between the side plate and the bottom plate 12 and the top plate 13 is a snap-fit ​​connection, that is, the side plate has protrusions on the upper and lower sides, and the bottom plate 12 and the top plate 13 have holes corresponding to the protrusions.

[0044] Meanwhile, a circuit board 16, a button 17, a lever 18, a power supply 19, and a speaker 10 are arranged between the base plate 12 and the top plate 13. The circuit board 16 is provided with a contact 161 and a contact 162 corresponding to the button 17 and the lever 18, respectively. The circuit board 16 is electrically connected to the power supply 19 and the speaker 10. The top plate 13 has openings for the button 17 and the lever 18 so that the top of the button 17 and the lever 18 are exposed, making it easy for the user to press and move them. The main body 1 has a sound hole corresponding to the speaker 10. The sound hole is generally located on the top plate 13, but it can also be located on other plates.

[0045] Therefore, in actual use, power supply 19 provides power, and pressing button 17 causes button 17 to contact contact 161, thereby sending a signal to circuit board 16. After receiving the signal, circuit board 16 causes speaker 10 to emit sound. Button 17 is made of a flexible material, so it returns to its original shape after being pressed. Similarly, the lever 18 can swing back and forth. When lever 18 is swung, it contacts contact 2, thereby sending a signal to circuit board 16.

[0046] Meanwhile, the main body 1 is also equipped with a switch and a display screen, so that different operations can be performed, but since they are not the focus of protection of this utility model and are existing technologies, they will not be described in detail.

[0047] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. However, this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments; therefore, various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the principles and scope of this utility model, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
