Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of melodica technology, and in particular to a novel melodica with antibacterial function. Background Technology

[0002] The melodica is a wind instrument equipped with a keyboard, belonging to the same category of free-reed wind instruments as the harmonica. It is characterized by its small size, excellent intonation, and melodic quality. Employing a keyboard design similar to a piano, the player blows through a mouthpiece on the side, causing the airflow to vibrate internal reeds and produce sound. Therefore, it can also be considered a type of keyboard wind instrument. This instrument possesses rich harmonic expressiveness, capable of producing diverse harmonic effects and boasting a wide range, thus finding widespread use in various musical settings. Its sound production principle is as follows: during playing, the airflow generated by blowing enters the instrument through the mouthpiece, creating air pressure. When the keys are pressed, the airflow is released, causing the reeds to vibrate and ultimately produce sound.

[0003] However, during the use of a melodica, saliva enters the instrument during playing. This saliva can hinder airflow, causing abnormal reed vibration. Furthermore, if saliva remains inside the melodica for a long time, it can corrode and mold the internal metal reeds, plastic, or wooden components, shortening the instrument's lifespan and easily breeding bacteria that can affect the user's respiratory health. Therefore, users usually shake the melodica outwards after playing to expel the saliva. However, when shaking, the tone holes are closed, and only the air vent is open. The air vent serves as both an intake and exhaust port, resulting in poor airflow and making it difficult to expel saliva smoothly. This also tends to leave more saliva residue, failing to achieve the desired drainage effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel melodica with antibacterial function, addressing the problem that saliva is difficult to expel smoothly after playing on existing melodica.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a novel melodica with antibacterial function, comprising:

[0006] The melodica body has an air inlet at one end and a drain outlet at the other end, with the air inlet and the drain outlet being coaxially arranged.

[0007] A baffle structure is provided at the drain outlet. The baffle structure includes a fixed baffle and a movable baffle. The fixed baffle is installed on the melodica body to form a movable space between the fixed baffle and the melodica body. The movable baffle is movably installed in the movable space to adjust the opening and closing of the drain outlet by moving the movable baffle.

[0008] Furthermore, the inside of the harmonica body extends outward to form the activity space, and the drain outlet connects the activity space to the external environment; and / or

[0009] The melodica body (100) is at least partially made of silver / zinc ion antibacterial material. The silver / zinc ion antibacterial material has antibacterial and bacteriostatic effects and can inhibit bacterial growth to ensure the hygiene of the melodica. Specifically, the melodica body (100) is injection molded from plastic or metal materials with added silver / zinc ion antibacterial material.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixed baffle can close the opening of the active space so that the movable baffle can be movably installed within the active space.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes an operating protrusion, which is mounted on the movable baffle. One end of the operating protrusion extends through the drain outlet, so that the user can manually control one end of the operating protrusion to drive the movable baffle to move.

[0012] Furthermore, one end of the operating protrusion is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0013] Furthermore, a first limiting structure is provided between the movable baffle and the fixed baffle to prevent the movable baffle from moving accidentally by abutting against the movable baffle through the first limiting structure.

[0014] Furthermore, the first limiting structure is a limiting protrusion, which is disposed on the side of the fixed baffle facing the movable baffle. The limiting protrusion can abut against the movable baffle to prevent the movable baffle from moving accidentally.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes at least two limiting grooves, which are spaced apart on the side of the movable baffle facing the fixed baffle, so that when the movable baffle is moved, the limiting protrusion can be embedded in different limiting grooves.

[0016] Furthermore, the melodica body includes a first housing and a second housing, which are detachably connected to allow the interior of the melodica body to be opened.

[0017] Furthermore, the stop structure is detachably installed at the drain outlet.

[0018] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the novel melodica with antibacterial function of this utility model adds a drain outlet coaxially arranged with the air inlet to the melodica body, and uses a stop structure to control the opening and closing of the drain outlet. After playing, the movable baffle is moved to open the drain outlet. At this time, the air inlet and the drain outlet form a through airflow channel, so that when the user shakes the melodica body, the saliva inside the melodica body can be smoothly discharged from the drain outlet. Furthermore, the drain outlet and the air inlet are coaxially arranged, and the saliva entering the melodica body from the air inlet flows along the length of the melodica body and is discharged from the air inlet. The airflow path is unobstructed, which helps to improve drainage efficiency. After shaking dry, the drain outlet is closed by moving the movable baffle, thus realizing the normal playing function.

[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the 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 scope of protection of this application.

[0035] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 9 This embodiment provides a novel melodica with antibacterial function, including a melodica body 100 and a stop structure 200. One end of the melodica body 100 is provided with an air inlet, and the other end of the melodica body 100 is provided with a drain outlet 110. The air inlet and the drain outlet 110 are coaxially arranged. The stop structure 200 is disposed at the drain outlet 110. The stop structure 200 includes a fixed baffle 210 and a movable baffle 220. The fixed baffle 210 is installed on the melodica body 100 to form an active space 230 between the fixed baffle 210 and the melodica body 100. The movable baffle 220 is movably installed in the active space 230 to adjust the opening and closing of the drain outlet 110 by moving the movable baffle 220.

[0036] As can be seen, the novel melodica with antibacterial function in this embodiment adds a drain outlet 110 coaxially arranged with the air inlet to the melodica body 100, and controls the opening and closing of the drain outlet 110 with the stop structure 200. After playing, the movable baffle 220 is moved to open the drain outlet 110. At this time, the air inlet and the drain outlet 110 form a through airflow channel, so that when the user shakes the melodica body 100, the saliva inside the melodica body 100 can be smoothly discharged from the drain outlet 110. Furthermore, the drain outlet 110 is coaxially arranged with the air inlet. The saliva entering the melodica body 100 from the air inlet flows along the length of the melodica body 100 and is discharged from the air inlet. The airflow path is unobstructed, which helps to improve drainage efficiency. After shaking dry, the drain outlet 110 is closed by moving the movable baffle 220, thus realizing the normal playing function.

[0037] like Figure 8 As shown, adjust the movable stop structure 200 so that it completely seals the drain outlet 110. When the user plays the harmonica, the air blown in by the player is discharged through the tone hole corresponding to the button pressed by the user, thus achieving normal playing function; as shown Figure 9 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 200 connects the drain outlet 110 to the external environment and the inner cavity of the melodica body 100. This arrangement allows the internal airflow to flow smoothly from the air inlet to the inner cavity of the melodica body 100 and then to the drain outlet 110 when the melodica is swung. Saliva can be discharged from the drain outlet 110 more quickly and thoroughly with the help of airflow and centrifugal force, greatly reducing saliva residue on the inner cavity and components.

[0038] Preferably, the melodica body 100 is at least partially made of silver / zinc ion antibacterial material. The silver / zinc ion antibacterial material has antibacterial and bacteriostatic effects, which can inhibit bacterial growth and ensure the hygiene of the melodica. Specifically, the melodica body 100 is injection molded from plastic or metal materials with the addition of silver / zinc ion antibacterial material.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the inside of the harmonica body 100 is recessed and extends outward to form an activity space 230, and the drain outlet 110 connects the activity space 230 and the external environment.

[0040] The active space 230 is formed by a direct recess inside the melodica body 100, eliminating the need for additional independent components to build this space. This allows the installation of the stop structure 200 to form a more compact integrated structure with the melodica body 100, reducing the number of parts and assembly complexity, and lowering production and assembly costs. At the same time, since the stop structure 200 is located inside the melodica body 100, the overall shape of the instrument is simpler and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0041] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the melodica body 100 includes a first housing 120 and a second housing 130. The first housing 120 and the second housing 130 are detachably arranged so that the interior of the melodica body 100 can be opened. An active space 230 is formed in the second housing 130. Through the open melodica body 100, the user can easily install the stop structure 200 into the second housing 130, improving assembly convenience. The first housing 120 and the second housing 130 can be separated and connected using existing snap-fit ​​structures or screw fixing methods. It is worth noting that the remaining structure and internal connections of the melodica body 100 are existing melodica structures and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the baffle structure 200 is detachably installed at the drain outlet 110. Specifically, hollow mounting column structures are provided at both ends of the fixed baffle 210. The inside of the harmonica body 100 is provided with mounting holes corresponding to the hollow mounting column structures. The hollow mounting column structures and mounting holes are provided one-to-one, so that the fixed baffle 210 can be installed on the second housing 130 by screwing screws into the hollow mounting column structures and further screwing them into the mounting holes. When the baffle structure 200 needs to be disassembled, only the screws need to be unscrewed.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the fixed baffle 210 can close the opening of the movable space 230 so that the movable baffle 220 can be movably installed in the movable space 230.

[0044] The fixed baffle 210 closes the opening of the active space 230, forming a relatively closed chamber structure, which provides a clear active boundary for the active baffle 220. This design can prevent the active baffle 220 from falling out of the active space 230 during movement, avoid structural jamming or functional failure due to excessive displacement, and prevent the active baffle 220 from falling out or shifting from the active space 230.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figures 5 to 6 and Figures 8 to 9 As shown, it also includes an operating protrusion 221, which is mounted on the movable baffle 220. One end of the operating protrusion 221 extends through the drain outlet 110, so that the user can manually control one end of the operating protrusion 221 to drive the movable baffle 220 to move.

[0046] The operating protrusion 221 serves as an external operating extension of the movable baffle 220. One end of the operating protrusion 221 extends through the drain outlet 110, providing the user with a direct point of force. Without disassembling the harmonica or touching the internal structure, the user can move the movable baffle 220 within the movable space 230 simply by moving or pushing the external operating protrusion 221, thus controlling the opening and closing of the drain outlet 110. Furthermore, since the operating protrusion 221 extends through the drain outlet 110, the user can visually observe its position, quickly determine the current status, reduce operational errors, and significantly lower the adjustment threshold, making it especially suitable for children, beginners, and other users with low tolerance for complex operations. The user can precisely control the degree of obstruction of the drain outlet 110 by the movable baffle 220 with their fingertips.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, one end of the operating protrusion 221 is provided with anti-slip texture 222. The anti-slip texture 222 increases the contact friction between the operating protrusion 221 and the finger, effectively preventing slippage caused by sweaty, damp, or uneven force applied by the user during adjustment. Especially in scenarios involving long performances or rapid adjustments, fingers are prone to not adhering tightly due to fatigue or sweat secretion. The anti-slip texture 222 can stabilize the relative position of the finger and the operating protrusion 221, ensuring that the operating force can be accurately transmitted to the movable baffle 220.

[0048] Furthermore, a first limiting structure 240 is provided between the movable baffle 220 and the fixed baffle 210 to prevent the movable baffle 220 from moving accidentally by abutting against the movable baffle 220.

[0049] When playing the melodica, airflow impact, hand touch, or slight shaking of the instrument may cause the movable baffle 220 to shift. The first limiting structure 240 restrains the movable baffle 220 through abutment, which can effectively prevent it from moving at will when there is no active operation. It does not hinder the user's active operation, and can lock the movable baffle 220 in the non-operation state.

[0050] Furthermore, the first limiting structure 240 is a limiting protrusion, which is provided on the side of the fixed baffle 210 facing the movable baffle 220. The limiting protrusion can abut against the movable baffle 220 to prevent the movable baffle 220 from moving accidentally.

[0051] The limiting protrusion is an integrated structure molded with the fixed baffle 210, preferably made of rubber material. It eliminates the need for additional assembly parts, simplifying the production process and reducing assembly errors and costs. The integrated structure of the limiting protrusion and the fixed baffle 210 has a certain degree of elasticity. The limiting protrusion acts directly on the side of the movable baffle 220 facing the fixed baffle 210, forming a positioning through physical obstruction. It can accurately limit the slight displacement of the movable baffle 220 in the non-operational state, avoiding loosening due to gaps. The limiting protrusion adopts an arc-shaped protrusion structure, so that when the user pushes the movable baffle 220, they only need to overcome a moderate frictional force to disengage from the limit. It will not cause operation jamming due to excessive resistance, nor will it lose its limiting function due to insufficient resistance.

[0052] In this embodiment, two limiting grooves 300 are provided, and the two limiting grooves 300 are spaced apart on the side of the movable baffle 220 facing the fixed baffle 210, so that when the movable baffle 220 is moved, the limiting protrusion can be embedded in different limiting grooves 300.

[0053] The interlocking structure of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove 300 provides a stable positioning effect for the movable baffle 220, effectively preventing accidental sliding of the movable baffle 220 due to external forces such as vibration and collision during the use or carrying of the melodica. This ensures that the drain outlet 110 remains closed during playing and open during drainage. When the user moves the movable baffle 220, the limiting protrusion will produce a noticeable click when switching from one limiting groove 300 to another, providing clear operational feedback and making it easier to perceive changes in the state of the drain outlet 110, thus improving the user experience. The cooperative structure of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove 300 enhances the connection stability between the movable baffle 220 and the fixed baffle 210, reduces the shaking of the movable baffle 220 within the movement space 230, and ensures the long-term reliability and durability of the baffle structure 200.

[0054] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0055] By adding a drain outlet 110 coaxially arranged with the air inlet to the melodica body 100, and cooperating with the stop structure 200 to control the opening and closing of the drain outlet 110, after playing, the movable baffle 220 is moved to open the drain outlet 110. At this time, the air inlet and the drain outlet 110 form a through airflow channel, so that when the user shakes the melodica body 100, the saliva inside the melodica body 100 can be smoothly discharged from the drain outlet 110. Furthermore, since the drain outlet 110 is coaxially arranged with the air inlet, the saliva entering the melodica body 100 from the air inlet flows along the length of the melodica body 100 and is discharged from the air inlet. The airflow path is unobstructed, which helps to improve drainage efficiency. After shaking dry, the drain outlet 110 is closed by moving the movable baffle 220, thus realizing the normal playing function.
