Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional resonance counterweight screws lack the ability to adjust mass, limiting their effectiveness in producing idealistic timbre effects for different players and environments, particularly for amateurs, as they cannot be selected or replaced to enhance timbre quality.
Innovation Solution
A resonance counterweight structure featuring a hollow counterweight main body with a chamber and fine-adjustment units, allowing for adjustable mass and diverse timbre output, along with a locking mechanism using protruding sharp teeth, enabling players to customize the resonance effect.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional resonance counterweight screw with fixed mass is used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the timbre effect cannot be adjusted for different players and environments
Solution Approach 1:
The counterweight is divided into a main body and multiple adjustable mass components (fine-adjustment units) that can be independently positioned within the chamber. This segmentation allows the total mass to be customized by arranging different numbers and positions of the fine-adjustment units, enabling timbre adjustment for different players while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The counterweight structure transitions from a fixed mass design to a dynamic, adjustable mass configuration. The fine-adjustment units can be moved within the chamber to change the mass distribution and total mass, allowing the device to adapt to different playing environments and player preferences without requiring a completely different structure for each case.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the counterweight mass is made adjustable with multiple fine-adjustment units, then diverse timbre effects can be achieved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The counterweight is segmented into a main body and multiple identical fine-adjustment units. This allows mass customization through simple addition or removal of standard components rather than manufacturing custom-mass counterweights for each specification, significantly easing the manufacturing process while maintaining diverse timbre adjustment capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention enables mass parameter adjustment through a modular system where the total mass is changed by varying the number and position of fine-adjustment units. This approach allows continuous mass variation without requiring complex manufacturing processes, as each unit is a standardized component that can be easily produced and assembled.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a hollow counterweight main body with chamber and fine-adjustment units is used, then mass can be adjusted for idealistic timbre effect, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The fine-adjustment units are nested within the hollow chamber of the main body, allowing multiple mass components to be contained within a single external envelope. This nesting arrangement enables mass adjustment without increasing the overall external dimensions of the counterweight, maintaining a compact and relatively simple external structure while providing internal mass customization.
Solution Approach 2:
The hollow chamber is segmented into spaces that can accommodate different numbers and configurations of fine-adjustment units. This internal segmentation allows flexible mass arrangement while maintaining a unified external structure, reducing the complexity increase that would otherwise result from multiple separate counterweight components.

AI summary
A resonance counterweight structure for audio effect article includes a hollow counterweight main body and an assembling section connected with the counterweight main body. The assembling section can be mounted in a predetermined position of a musical instrument. The counterweight main body at least includes an upper wall, a lower wall and a peripheral wall connected between the upper and lower walls. The upper wall, the lower wall and the peripheral wall define a chamber of the counterweight main body. At least one counterweight fine-adjustment unit is received in the chamber. The counterweight main body and the counterweight fine-adjustment unit help the audio effect article to modify the music so as to achieve more idealistic timbre effect. A player can more diversely select or replace the counterweight structure, whereby one single musical instrument can selectively output different timbre effects according to the requirements of different playing situations.
