Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a musical instrument stand, specifically, to a quick locking and adjustment mechanism for a musical instrument stand. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of musical instrument performance, instrument stands are essential auxiliary tools used to stably support instruments during performance breaks or when storing them, preventing accidental drops or damage. Existing instrument stands typically consist of a support frame and adjustable support arms. However, traditional instrument stands generally suffer from the following technical problems in adjustment and use: First, existing instrument stands mostly use bolts, nuts, or simple knobs for height and angle adjustment. This adjustment method is cumbersome, requiring users to rotate the fasteners multiple times to fix the position. This is extremely inconvenient in performance settings or when quick adjustments are needed, affecting efficiency. Furthermore, if the nuts or knobs are not fully tightened, the support may be unstable, posing a risk of the instrument slipping.

[0003] Secondly, some instrument stands have a bulky design, and their supporting components are usually fixed or require complicated disassembly. This makes the storage and carrying of instrument stands very inconvenient, especially for instrument enthusiasts or professional musicians who move around frequently. The large size and poor portability are problems that urgently need to be solved.

[0004] Therefore, in order to address the shortcomings of existing instrument stands in terms of rapid adjustment, secure locking, and portable storage, this utility model provides a rapid locking and adjustment mechanism for instrument stands, aiming to improve the ease of use and reliability of instrument stands. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome at least one of the defects in the prior art, this utility model provides a quick locking and adjustment mechanism for an instrument stand.

[0006] The present invention provides a musical instrument stand, comprising: a main support frame with a sliding groove on its side wall; multiple support modules disposed inside the main support frame, each support module having a locking hole and a guide portion that slidably engages with the sliding groove; a locking device for locking the support module within the main support frame after it has been adjusted to a preset position; multiple support brackets, each support bracket having a plug-in end into which the support module can be inserted; an elastic element disposed inside the support brackets; a pressing element disposed on the elastic element for driving the elastic element to deform; and a locking pin that can displace with the deformation of the elastic element.

[0007] As an improvement, the locking pin is a spring pin, which has two working states: locked and unlocked.

[0008] Preferably, in the locked state, the spring pin passes through the through hole on the support bracket and extends into the locking hole on the support module to achieve locking and fixing of the support bracket.

[0009] Preferably, in the unlocked state, the pressing member acts on the elastic member, causing the spring pin to retract into the support bracket, thereby releasing the engagement with the locking hole.

[0010] In an improved configuration, at least two of the plurality of support brackets are cross-connected, and one of the support brackets is provided with a groove for engaging with the other support bracket.

[0011] In a further improvement, the locking device is a knob-type locking mechanism, which rotates to ensure that the support module fits tightly against the inner wall of the main support frame.

[0012] In an improved version, the main support frame is a hollow structure, and the multiple support brackets can be stored inside the cavity of the main support frame after disassembly.

[0013] Other improvements and advantages of this invention will be set forth in the detailed description that follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objectives and other advantages of this invention can be realized and obtained through the structures particularly pointed out in the description and drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0016] First, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely used to explain the technical principles of the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the embodiments of this application. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0017] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0018] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] See Figures 1-6 As shown in the illustration, this application discloses a musical instrument stand, including a main support rod 1, legs 2, support modules 3, and support brackets 4. The main support frame 1, as the core load-bearing and adjustment body of the musical instrument stand, is preferably made of aluminum profile. Aluminum profiles have the advantages of being lightweight, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant, ensuring the portability, stability, and high load-bearing capacity of the entire musical instrument stand. In specific implementations, the cross-sectional shape of the main support frame 1 is preferably octagonal. This cross-sectional shape design can give the main support frame 1 good torsional resistance and stability. More importantly, its regular polygonal structure can effectively reduce processing time in CNC machining, thereby significantly improving production efficiency and reducing manufacturing costs. Of course, the shape of the main support frame 1 of this utility model is not limited to octagonal. In other embodiments, its cross-section can also be circular, square, or other polygonal, but the octagonal structure shows a superior advantage in terms of processing efficiency.

[0020] From an overall layout perspective, after the instrument rack is assembled, the main support frame 1 typically presents an overall tilted posture (see...). Figure 1Nevertheless, the upper and lower surfaces of the main support frame 1 are precisely designed so that it remains parallel to the ground after the instrument stand is assembled, and also parallel to the bearing surface of the support bracket 4 mounted on it. This ensures that even if the instrument stand is tilted, the instrument placed on the support bracket 4 remains horizontal, thus providing a stable and ergonomic platform.

[0021] The main support frame 1 has a hollow internal structure. When the top cover 105 at the top is opened, its inner cavity 101 can be used to store the disassembled support bracket 4. In addition, a sliding groove 103 is provided on the side wall 102 of the main support frame 1. The sliding groove 103 is arranged along the length of the main support frame 1 to guide the vertical sliding of the support module 3.

[0022] The leg 2 is connected to the lower end of the main support frame 1 to support the entire instrument stand and provide balance and stability. In this embodiment, the leg 2 is a three-pronged support structure, which provides stable ground support through three legs 201. The leg 201 is fixed to the leg fixing seat 202 at the bottom of the leg by a screw structure. The leg fixing seat 202 is also provided with a cavity 203 to accommodate the legs 201. In order to increase the anti-slip performance of the instrument stand, each leg 201 at the bottom of the leg 2 is provided with a foot cover 204. The foot cover 204 is made of PVC material, which has good friction and can effectively prevent the instrument stand from sliding during use.

[0023] Multiple support modules 3 are disposed inside the main support frame 1. The external shape of each support module 3 matches the shape of the inner cavity 101 of the main support frame 1, and its size is slightly smaller than the inner cavity 101, so that it can slide inside the main support frame 1. The support module 3 is provided with a guide part 301 that engages with the sliding groove 103 on the side wall 102 of the main support frame and can slide. The guide part 301 ensures that the support module 3 moves up and down along a predetermined trajectory inside the main support frame 1 without rotation or deviation. The support module 3 is also provided with a locking device 302 for locking its position and a locking hole 303 for engaging with the support bracket 4.

[0024] The support module 3 moves along the length of the main support frame 1 through an adjustment mechanism, thereby adjusting the vertical position of the support bracket 4. The adjustment mechanism mainly includes: a sliding groove 103 provided on the side wall 102 of the main support frame; a guide part 301 on the support module 3 that cooperates with the sliding groove 103 and can slide; and a locking device 302, which is used to securely lock the support module 3 in the main support frame 1 after it is adjusted to a preset height.

[0025] In this embodiment, the locking device 302 is a knob-type locking mechanism (see...). Figure 6The knob-type locking mechanism drives the internal structure to press inward radially by rotating the knob, so that the support module 3 fits tightly against the inner wall of the main support frame 1, thereby generating sufficient friction to firmly fix the support module 3 at the preset height, thus realizing convenient and reliable height adjustment and locking.

[0026] Multiple support brackets 4 are used to directly support musical instruments. Each support bracket 4 has a plug-in end 401 into which a support module can be inserted. The corresponding support module 3 is also provided with a matching cavity 304. The main support frame 1 is provided with a through groove 104 for the support bracket 4 to pass through and be inserted into the cavity 304 in the support module 3. The through groove 104 is provided along the length direction of the main support frame 1, allowing the support bracket 4 to slide along with the support module 3 on the main support frame. To provide good protection for the musical instrument, a protective sleeve 402 is fitted on the outer surface of the support bracket 4. In this embodiment, the protective sleeve 402 is made of EVA material, which has good cushioning and anti-slip properties, and can effectively avoid scratches and damage that may occur when the musical instrument comes into direct contact with the support bracket 4, ensuring the safe placement of the musical instrument. At least two of the multiple support brackets 4 can be connected by a cross connection (see...). Figure 3 One of the support brackets 4 has a groove 403 on its side, and the other support bracket can pass through the groove 403 to form a stable cross structure, which enhances the overall lateral stability of the instrument frame.

[0027] The support bracket 4 is also equipped with a quick-locking mechanism for rapid connection and separation between the support bracket 4 and the support module 3. The insertion end 401 of the support bracket 4 is equipped with a retractable locking element 404. The locking element 404 includes an elastic element 405 inside the support bracket 4, a pressing element 407 on the elastic element 405, and a locking pin 406. The support module 3 has a locking hole 303 that mates with the locking pin 406. When the insertion end 401 of the support bracket 4 is inserted into the support module 3 to a preset position, the locking pin 406 passes through the through hole on the support bracket 4 and extends into the locking hole 303 on the support module 3, instantly locking the support bracket 4. When disassembly is required, the user simply presses the pressing element 407, causing the locking pin 406 to retract into the support bracket 4, releasing the engagement with the locking hole 303. This unlocks the support bracket 4, allowing for quick removal. The entire process is convenient and fast, greatly improving efficiency.

[0028] In this embodiment, the retractable locking pin 406 adopts a spring pin structure. In addition, the retractable locking element can also adopt an elastic buckle. The elastic buckle can be integrally formed on the insertion end 401 of the support bracket, or it can be connected to the insertion end 401 through a separate elastic component.

[0029] When assembling this instrument stand, the user first connects the legs to the main support frame 1. Then, according to the required height, the user unlocks the support module using an adjustment mechanism (such as a rotating knob), moves it along the slide groove 103 inside the main support frame to the appropriate position, and then locks it again. Next, the user inserts the plug end 401 of the support bracket 4 into the support module 3, and the locking pin 406 of the quick-locking mechanism automatically engages with the locking hole 303, completing the installation of the support bracket 4. When disassembly or storage is required, simply press the pressing part 407 to retract the locking pin 406 into the support bracket 4, releasing it from the locking hole 303. The support bracket 4 can then be quickly pulled out and stored in the internal cavity 101 of the main support frame 1. The entire process is convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving.
