Problems solved by technology

[0008] 4. String tensioning system - the sounding body of the piano, which is composed of wooden brackets, iron brackets, soundboards, strings, pegboards, tuning nails, string nails, string codes and other components; after the strings are struck by the hammer Vibration is generated, and the vibration wave is transmitted to the soundboard by the string code and the other string nails, and resonates through the resonance of the soundboard to produce a loud sound; the length, thickness, and tension of the string group (string column) determine the vibration basis of the sound. The production of high-frequency and overtones, the setting of accurate and reasonable striking points is an important guarantee for excellent acoustic quality. Although there are ingenious designs for the selection of striking points in modern piano systems, there are still many problems in the implementation of the goals. Inadequacies; the string system is independent of other systems in the overall structure of modern pianos, and has its own acoustic design method, which is the root of people's favorite piano (piano timbre)
[0010] Due to the shackles of the rigid keyboard mechanical system, it is difficult for modern pianos to further improve and improve both in terms of the improvement of acoustic quality and the flexibility of manipulation and performance, so that artists are pursuing higher levels. The artistic expression of the piano makers, the constant requests made to the piano makers, and the various efforts made by the piano makers to design and make better pianos have become futile.
[0011] In addition, due to the wide and unscrupulous manufacturing standards of the parts in modern pianos, the assembly and debugging process is lagging behind. It is difficult to achieve unity and consistency, and it still belongs to the manual manufacturing mode
Steinway pianos are world-class, and the main reasons why they can become the best brand pianos in the world: one is to choose high-quality wood as the material for making parts; the other is that they have many experienced craftsmen Although modern processing machinery and processing technology are used in the production and processing process, in many woodworking production and assembly debugging links, it is still necessary to rely on experienced craftsmen to complete the production by hand.
[0012] Also, in the structure of piano parts, except for a few metal materials such as cast iron bones, strings, shaft nails and screws, most of the parts are made of wood materials, among which fish scale spruce is also called white pine. , used to make soundboards, ribs, keys, keyboard frames, etc.; maple, also known as colored wood, is used to make action parts, piano codes, etc., which consumes a lot of natural resources and is not conducive to environmental protection
[0013] Various reasons indicate that because modern pianos have been using the traditional integrated keyboard action lever structure, resulting in poor consistency of product performance and inconsistent product quality in modern piano manufacturing, backward assembly and debugging technology, manual-based, and technological content in products. low backwardness

Embodiment 1

[0064] Example 1: Playing a pattern under the control of the master controller

[0065]After the user hits the keys, the movement process and state of the keys are collected by the key signal acquisition circuit in the keyboard and pedal system and sorted into digital information of the three parameters of force, time value and octave area code, and the information is converted into Through the network, it is transmitted to the keyboard and pedal system controller in real time, and the parameters of interval, strength and time value are sorted by the keyboard and pedal system controller and sent to the system master controller in real time, and the system master controller sends the data to In the electronic hammer array system, the electronic hammer whose address matches the interval will control the actuation of the hammer and the damper device according to the parameters of strength and time value, and complete a hammering action; at the same time, the main controller will f...

Embodiment 2

[0066] Embodiment 2: keyboard and pedal system function

[0067] The keyboard and pedal system can work independently. The management machine of the keyboard and pedal system is equipped with editing and composing function modes. In this mode, there are recording, modification and playback functions, that is, all the playing in the playing mode can be performed. Record the process, organize and form digital stream files temporarily stored in the internal memory, and display the recorded music scores in the format of line spectrum or numbered notation through the dot-matrix liquid crystal display. Some of the sections can be modified and replaced, and confirmed to be permanently saved. The time can be transmitted to the system master computer, and then transferred to the external memory by the system master computer.

[0068] The keyboard and pedal system is equipped with a piano audio wavetable player, which can play the edited tracks through headphones or audio equipment, pro...

Abstract

The invention relates to a musical instrument production, which uses computer, micro electric and computer network to realize system control and electric-control string hammering, wherein based on present voice of piano, it uses electric-control string hammering to replace the former lever activation; the castanet and string-expand machine are flexibly arranged, to select the string code position and the string hammer point; the shape can be designed freely; and each function element is independent, to support batch production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of musical instrument manufacturing, and specifically relates to a piano with a new structure, in particular to the transformation of the traditional piano structure and the transformation of the manufacturing industry by using modern high-tech means. Background technique [0002] The piano belongs to the "percussion instrument" in the taxonomy of musical instruments. The reason why it is called the king of musical instruments is not only because of its huge size, but also because of its very complicated structure; the piano is composed of tens of thousands of parts. As the heart of the piano, the action has more than 5,000 parts. The keyboard and the action form an integrated keyboard mechanical system, which can transmit the percussion force when the key is struck to the human body through the key bar. In the action, the linkage lever in the action causes the hammer to actuate the string to produce sound. ...
