Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of musical instrument auxiliary performance equipment technology, specifically to a collaborative performance device for wind instruments and guitars. Background Technology

[0002] In musical performance, especially in live performances or composition, the coordination between different instruments is crucial. Traditionally, the ensemble of wind and string instruments relies mainly on the musicians' playing skills, the score, and the audience's auditory coordination, which places high demands on the musicians' professional competence, level of understanding, and the live environment.

[0003] With the development of electronic music technology, various effects processors, audio interfaces, and music workstations have emerged, capable of processing the sound of a single instrument or synthesizing multi-track recordings. However, these solutions are usually complex, with numerous connecting cables and complicated setup and operation, and lack dedicated devices for real-time, physically integrated, and coordinated control of two specific types of instruments.

[0004] Existing technologies also include some devices that attempt to simplify the coordination of multiple instruments, but they often suffer from the following shortcomings: First, their structures are loose, lacking a stable and reasonable internal layout and fixing structure between the controller, connection interface, and housing, resulting in poor portability and easy loosening of connections or damage to internal components due to vibration during movement or performance; Second, their expandability and integration are low, failing to effectively integrate key control functions such as breath control signals for wind instruments and chord signals for guitars with audio signal paths into a single portable and dedicated device; Third, their assembly and maintenance are inconvenient, as the opening and closing of the housing is usually achieved by simply locking it with screws, making the disassembly and assembly process cumbersome and inefficient when frequent adjustments or replacement of internal components are required.

[0005] Therefore, the industry urgently needs a dedicated collaborative performance device that is compact in structure, has a stable connection, is easy to operate, and can highly integrate the signal acquisition, processing and control functions of wind instruments and guitars. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application provides a device for the coordinated performance of wind instruments and guitars, in order to solve the technical problems of loose structure, low functional integration, and inconvenient disassembly and maintenance of existing devices when wind instruments and guitars are played together.

[0007] This application adopts the following technical solution: a device for the coordinated playing of a wind instrument and a guitar, comprising: The base plate has a housing at its upper end, and an end cover at the upper end of the housing. Locking components are provided on the opposite side walls of the housing, and the end cover is detachably fixed to the housing through the locking components. The base plate, housing, and end cap together form an internal cavity; a controller is installed in the internal cavity, with the bottom end of the controller mounted on the upper surface of the base plate, and the operating part of the controller extending from the upper end of the end cap. The controller is used to connect external wind instruments and guitars to achieve coordinated performance.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a T-shaped groove fixedly disposed on the side wall of the housing, a slider limiting groove provided at the bottom of the T-shaped groove, a locking block slidably disposed above the slider limiting groove, and a spring connecting the locking block and the side wall of the T-shaped groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the locking assembly also includes a locking terminal, which is fixedly disposed on the inner side wall of the end cap and aligned with the opening position of the T-slot. The locking terminal can be inserted into and locked inside the T-slot.

[0010] Furthermore, there are four sets of locking components, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the casing.

[0011] Furthermore, a positioning groove is fixedly provided on the upper end of the base plate, and the bottom end of the controller is fixedly installed in the positioning groove; the controller includes an audio synthesis end, an audio signal channel, and a chord control end.

[0012] Furthermore, a panel is fixedly installed on the upper end of the end cap, and a through hole is provided on the panel for the operating part of the controller to pass through.

[0013] Furthermore, a straight groove is provided in the middle of the housing, and the rib is fixedly embedded in the straight groove; a corresponding insertion groove is provided in the middle of the bottom plate, and the lower end of the rib is fixedly inserted into the insertion groove.

[0014] Furthermore, screw holes are provided at the four corners of the base plate, and corresponding support feet are provided on the inner wall of the housing. The support feet are aligned vertically with the screw holes, and the base plate is fixedly connected to the support feet by screws passing through the screw holes.

[0015] Furthermore, the controller also features an audio interface and a headphone jack on its side.

[0016] Furthermore, the positioning groove is made of rubber.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention utilizes a layered shell structure formed by a base plate, housing, and end caps to create a physically isolated internal cavity with electromagnetic shielding properties, effectively protecting the controller. This fully enclosed shell blocks external dust, moisture, and impacts, extending the equipment's lifespan. By fixing the controller body internally and centralizing the operating interface on the external panel, functional partitioning is achieved, improving operational convenience and interface cleanliness.

[0018] Secondly, this invention replaces the traditional screw fixing method with a dedicated locking assembly consisting of a T-slot, locking block, spring, and locking terminal, achieving quick assembly and disassembly and reliable locking between the end cover and the housing. Four symmetrically distributed locking components ensure uniform locking force, preventing housing deformation. This structure facilitates quick internal inspection and maintenance during performance breaks, improving the maintainability of the equipment and its safety and reliability during movement.

[0019] Furthermore, this invention integrates the audio synthesis terminal, audio signal channel, and chord control terminal into a single controller, and employs a mounting structure with precise positioning and buffering functions, achieving a high degree of integration of signal processing functions for wind instruments and guitars. This integrated design eliminates the signal delay and cumbersome connection problems caused by connecting multiple external devices. The rubber positioning groove provides vibration damping for the controller, reducing the impact of vibration on the precision circuitry, thereby improving the working stability and reliability of the entire collaborative performance system.

Example 1

[0026] This application discloses a device for the coordinated playing of a wind instrument and a guitar. (See reference...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The device includes a base plate 10, a housing 20, an end cap 30, a controller 40, and a locking assembly 50. The base plate 10 forms the mounting base of the device. The housing 20 is located on the upper end of the base plate 10, with its lower opening engaging with the edge of the base plate 10. The end cap 30 is located on the upper end of the housing 20 and is used to close the upper opening of the housing 20. Locking assemblies 50 are provided on two opposite side walls of the housing 20, and the end cap 30 is detachably and fixedly connected to the housing 20 via the locking assemblies 50. The base plate 10, housing 20, and end cap 30 together form a closed internal cavity. The controller 40 is located in this internal cavity, with its bottom end mounted on the upper surface of the base plate 10. The operating part of the controller 40 protrudes from the upper end of the end cap 30. The controller 40 is used to connect external wind instruments and a guitar, and to process the performance signals from both to achieve coordinated performance. A panel 31 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the end cover 30, and a through hole is provided on the panel 31 for the operating part of the controller 40 to pass through.

[0027] In this technical solution, a layered shell structure consisting of a base plate, housing, and end caps is used to create a physically isolated installation space with electromagnetic shielding properties. The fully enclosed shell design effectively prevents external dust, moisture, and accidental impacts from affecting the internal precision electronic components, extending the equipment's lifespan. By fixing the controller's main body to the internal cavity and concentrating its operating interface on the external panel, a combination of functional zoning and ease of operation is achieved.

[0028] The precise through-holes on the panel not only ensure the accurate positioning of each control element, creating a clean and unified user interface, but also simplify the opening and closing of the end caps by using a dedicated locking component instead of traditional screw fixing. This allows users to quickly perform internal checks, parameter adjustments, or troubleshooting during performance breaks, improving the maintainability of the equipment. Furthermore, this device integrates signal routing, mixing, and collaborative control functions that previously required multiple independent devices into a compact, standalone unit, reducing the number of devices and cables needed for live performances or recordings, and lowering the complexity of system setup. Example 2

[0029] Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a detailed description of the locking component 50 and the controller mounting structure. (Refer to...) Figure 4 and Figure 6 , specifically: The locking assembly 50 includes a T-shaped groove 51 fixedly disposed on the side wall of the housing 20. A slider limiting groove 52 is formed at the bottom of the T-shaped groove 51, and a locking block 53 is slidably disposed above the slider limiting groove 52. A spring 54 is connected between the locking block 53 and the side wall of the T-shaped groove 51. The locking assembly 50 also includes a locking terminal 55 fixedly disposed on the inner side wall of the end cover 30, and the position of the locking terminal 55 is aligned with the opening of the T-shaped groove 51.

[0030] When the end cap 30 is closed, the locking terminal 55 inserts into the T-slot 51 and slides along its inner wall. Simultaneously, its inclined surface or end pushes the locking block 53 inward against the spring force of the spring 54. When the end cap 30 reaches the fully closed position, the locking block 53 pops out under the restoring force of the spring 54 and engages in the preset groove or slot on the locking terminal 55, thus forming a mechanical interlock to prevent the end cap 30 from accidentally opening during vibration or handling. To unlock, simply pull the end cap 30 from the outside. This compresses the spring 54, causing the end cap 30 and locking block 53 to retract, releasing the constraint on the locking terminal 55 and easily separating the end cap 30.

[0031] Preferably, there are four sets of locking components 50, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the housing 20. The symmetrical layout ensures that the locking force on the end cover 30 is evenly distributed when closed, avoiding housing deformation or poor sealing that may occur due to single-point force, and ensuring the overall structural integrity and connection reliability of the housing.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 A positioning groove 12 is fixedly formed on the upper surface of the base plate 10, and the bottom end of the controller 40 is fixedly installed in the positioning groove 12 by fasteners or positioning pins. The outline of the positioning groove 12 precisely matches the shape of the bottom of the controller 40, limiting the horizontal displacement of the controller.

[0033] The controller 40, as the core function, integrates multiple collaborative functional modules within its internal circuitry: an audio synthesis terminal 41, equipped with a dedicated interface, receives and analyzes control signals (such as MIDI commands, breath pressure voltage) from wind instruments, thereby driving built-in or external sound source modules to produce corresponding melodic timbres. The audio signal channel 42 is a high-impedance input circuit used to receive the raw audio signal from the guitar and performs preprocessing such as gain adjustment and preliminary equalization. The chord control terminal 43 processes the guitar signal from the audio signal channel 42 in real time using signal analysis algorithms, identifies the currently played chord structure, and feeds this harmonic information back to the audio synthesis terminal 41, thereby automatically adjusting or constraining the progression of the melody notes to maintain harmonic harmony with the guitar accompaniment. The integrated design of the controller 40 allows for efficient signal interaction and harmonic matching between the wind instruments and the guitar within the device, reducing the overall size of the accompaniment unit and making it compact and portable.

[0034] In this technical solution, a structure combining spring return and mechanical locking is adopted to achieve rapid assembly and disassembly between the end cover 30 and the housing 20, improving the safety and reliability of the equipment during movement. Four sets of symmetrical arrangements further enhance the stability and sealing efficiency of the connection. Secondly, by setting high-precision positioning slots to install the controller, accurate positioning of the controller is achieved. The close cooperation between the two enhances the overall structural rigidity and suppresses resonance of internal components.

[0035] Furthermore, by integrating the three major functional modules of audio synthesis, independent signal channels, and intelligent chord analysis and control into a single controller, the system achieves end-to-end integration from signal input and processing to collaborative output. This eliminates the signal delay, matching difficulties, and cumbersome connection problems caused by connecting multiple external effects, sound sources, and chord recognizers, allowing performers to focus on the music itself and manage the entire collaborative performance system through the integrated control panel. Example 3

[0036] Based on Embodiment 1 or 2, this embodiment further defines the connection structure between the housing 20 and the base plate 10. (Refer to...) Figure 3 and Figure 4 A vertically extending straight groove 21 and a rib 22 are provided on the inner wall of the middle part of the housing 20. The rib 22 is fixedly embedded in the straight groove 21 by interference fit or adhesive bonding.

[0037] A corresponding insertion groove 11 with a depth matching that of the rib 22 is formed on the upper surface of the base plate 10. When the housing 20 is placed on the base plate 10, the lower end of the rib 22 is precisely inserted into the insertion groove 11, providing effective longitudinal guidance and lateral restraint, ensuring that the housing 20 and the base plate 10 are accurately aligned during initial docking. When the equipment is subjected to lateral force or torsional load, the cooperation between the rib 22 and the insertion groove 11 can share some of the stress, enhancing the ability of the middle part of the housing to resist bending deformation.

[0038] Meanwhile, screw holes 13 with built-in metal threaded inserts are provided at the four corners of the base plate 10. On the inner wall of the housing 20, corresponding to the vertical position above each screw hole 13, a support leg 23 is integrally formed or fixedly provided, with the lower end of the support leg 23 being a flat load-bearing surface. When the housing 20 is aligned and placed on the base plate 10 via the rib plate 22, the load-bearing surface of each support leg 23 is in contact with the upper end surface of the base plate 10, and the through hole reserved in the center of the support leg 23 is precisely coaxial with the screw hole 13 on the base plate. At this time, the base plate 10 and the housing 20 can be fastened by screwing in the screw. Example 4

[0039] Based on Embodiment 2, this embodiment supplements the interface expansion of controller 40, referring to... Figure 5 , specifically: An audio interface 44 and a headphone jack 45 are located on the edge of the side circuit board of the controller 40. The audio interface 44 is a standard line output interface, used to output the internally processed mixed audio signal at line level to professional mixing consoles, power amplifiers, or recording equipment. The interface has good shielding and anti-interference design. The headphone jack 45 is an independent headphone amplifier output interface. Its driver circuit can adapt to headphones of different impedances, allowing the performer to connect headphones for personal monitoring, practice, or performance detail monitoring without disturbing others. Preferably, the positioning groove 12 on the base plate 10 for mounting the controller 40 is made of rubber material with a certain compression and damping coefficient. This rubber positioning groove is bonded to the base plate through a secondary injection molding process.

[0040] In this technical solution, the controller 40 integrates a professional audio interface and a headphone monitoring interface, expanding the output flexibility and applicable scenarios of the device. Users can achieve high-quality signal output and private monitoring without the need for additional audio interface boxes or headphone distributors, simplifying backend connections.

[0041] The positioning groove of the controller is made of rubber material. By utilizing the elasticity and damping properties of rubber, a flexible buffer layer is established between the controller and the rigid base plate to absorb and attenuate the high-frequency vibration and slight impact energy transmitted from the shell. This prevents these mechanical energies from directly acting on the controller's printed circuit board, precision components and solder joints, thereby reducing the risk of component loosening, poor contact or performance degradation caused by vibration, and extending the controller's working life and stability in dynamic environments such as mobile performances.

[0042] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
