[0036] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it will not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a multifunctional foldable flute stand 100 includes a first support unit 10 and a second support unit 20, which are arranged in parallel and symmetrically. A foldable connecting frame 30 is provided between the two support units to realize the synchronous unfolding, folding and locking of the two support units, thereby adjusting their lateral spacing and achieving stable support.

[0039] The first support unit 10 is provided with a first slide groove 11, and the second support unit 20 is provided with a second slide groove 21. The first slide groove 11 and the second slide groove 21 are parallel to each other and are used to guide and limit the movement trajectory of the connecting frame 30, so that the relative positions of the two support units remain parallel and consistent, and avoid the risk of tipping over due to tilting.

[0040] The foldable connecting frame 30 includes a first connecting rod 31 and a second connecting rod 32, which are X-shapedly hinged together by a central pivot 33. One end of the first connecting rod 31 is hinged to one end of the first support unit 10 via a first fixed shaft 311, and the other end is slidably engaged with the second sliding groove 21 of the second support unit 20 via a first sliding shaft 312. One end of the second connecting rod 32 is hinged to one end of the second support unit 20 via a second fixed shaft 321, and the other end is slidably engaged with the first sliding groove 11 of the first support unit 10 via a second sliding shaft 322. With the above structure, the connecting frame 30 can form a stable X-shaped supporting torque in the unfolded state, and the two support units 10 and 20 can be brought together and stacked in the folded state. The overall folded thickness is small, making it easy to carry and store.

[0041] like Figure 7As shown, the first sliding shaft 312 and the second sliding shaft 322 preferably adopt a lockable structure. Each sliding shaft includes a square neck bolt 01 and a knob 02, which are connected by threads and a washer 03 is provided between them to prevent loosening. The square neck bolt 01 can slide up and down along the corresponding groove. Tightening the knob 02 locks the shaft, ensuring that the connecting frame 30 remains stable and reliable during use. The user can adjust the distance between the two support units according to the number and length requirements of the flutes, and then tighten them to fix the shaft.

[0042] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the first support unit 10 and the second support unit 20 are provided with multiple detachable rests 40 along their length to support multiple flutes or other tubular instruments at the same height. The support unit is preferably made of aluminum alloy or stainless steel sheet, which has high strength and corrosion resistance. A protective pad k1 is attached to its front side to prevent scratches when the flute body comes into contact with metal.

[0043] The metal support plate k adopts an L-shaped structure, including a support part k2 for setting the slide groove and the resting part 40, and a bending part k3 for strengthening the structural rigidity. The slide groove is located on the inner side of the resting part 40, which not only enhances the overall resistance to deformation, but also facilitates the installation and sliding adjustment of components. The protective pad k1 is made of EVA or silicone material, with moderate thickness, flexibility and non-slip properties. The pad k1 has through holes k11 to avoid the resting part 40, and vertical grooves k12 corresponding to the slide groove, to accommodate the installation positions of different accessories.

[0044] like Figure 10 As shown, the support unit has multiple pre-set connection holes. The shelf 40 includes a shelf body 41 and a fixing member 52. The fixing member 52 can be locked into the connection holes of the support unit. The shelf body 41 and the fixing member 52 can be connected by screws or plugs to realize the installation, removal and position adjustment of the shelf body. By changing the number and installation position of the shelf 40, it can be flexibly configured according to the diameter and length of different flutes, recorders, xiao or other tubular musical instruments.

[0045] Preferably, the outer surface of the support body 41 is covered with a soft plastic layer to increase friction and further protect the instrument surface. Each support can be independently disassembled or replaced for easy cleaning and maintenance. To enhance overall stability, the lower surface of the support...

[0046] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the flute stand 100 also includes a clamp assembly 50 and a ball head seat 60 for extended support functionality. The clamp assembly 50 includes a clamp head 51, a connecting rod 52, and a clamping member 53, with the clamp head 51 and clamping member 53 connected via the connecting rod 52. The ball head seat 60 is fixed to the first connecting rod 31 by screws e and is rotatably connected to the clamp head 51. This structure allows the clamp assembly 50 to be adjusted at multiple angles in horizontal, vertical, and tilt directions. Users can flexibly adjust the angle to mount tablets, mobile phones, or small recording devices according to performance or teaching scenarios, for viewing electronic sheet music, accompaniment, or online teaching.

[0047] To enhance connection strength, the ball joint 60 can be made of nylon or metal, and a rubber ring is provided at the ball joint to prevent loosening. The clamp assembly 50 is detachable and can be quickly removed to reduce weight when not in use.

[0048] In use, the user first unfolds the foldable connecting frame 30, so that a predetermined lateral distance is formed between the first support unit 10 and the second support unit 20, and locks the sliding shaft position by turning knob 02. Then, the resting part 40 is installed in the preset position, so that multiple resting parts are symmetrically distributed to ensure that the flute body is subjected to balanced force and has better stability.

[0049] In summary, the multifunctional foldable flute stand 100 provided in this embodiment achieves both structural stability and foldable portability through an X-shaped linkage mechanism; it allows for flexible spacing control through adjustable slides and locking structures; it enables multiple placement methods through a detachable shelf 40 to meet the needs of different musical instruments and usage scenarios; it effectively prevents wear and tear on the instrument surface through the protective design of EVA pads and plastic sleeves; and it expands the electronic device support and multimedia auxiliary functions through the cooperation of the ball head seat and clamp assembly.

[0050] The parts of this product are easy to process, and the assembly and disassembly are simple. It is suitable for mass production and use in multiple scenarios, and has high practical value and promotion significance.
