Embodiment Construction

[0040] Hereinafter, referring to FIGS. 1-6 , a piano key according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the key actuation control system 1 has a function of applying a reaction force when a player manually plays a keyboard instrument. The keyboard actuation control system 1 is respectively connected to the keys 3 of the keyboard instrument.

[0041]The rear side 3b of the key 3 of the keyboard instrument is connected to the frame 5 via a polymer transducer 9 and is rotatably movable about an axis within a certain angular range. The key 3 is connected to the frame 5 so as to be rotatably moved or pivoted in directions A and B against the frame 5 by deforming the polymer transducer 9 . Also, a spring is connected to the key 3 to return the key 3 to the original position by applying force to the key 3 in the arrow A direction. It should be noted that the key 3 can be returned to the original position by using the returning force of th...

Abstract

In order to realize a small and light key actuating apparatus for actuating a key which is rotatably supported with respect to a frame, a key actuating apparatus (7) is provided which includes a polymer transducer (9) for rotatably moving the key (3) by using a deformation of the transducer, wherein the transducer which is substantially formed in a plate shape includes: a polymer film (15) which is dielectric and made from an elastically deformable polymer material; and a pair of electrodes (17) arranged at both sides of surfaces of the polymer film, and the transducer is deformed corresponding to switching between an application of voltage and a lack of voltage between the electrodes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a key actuating device and a key actuating control system. [0002] This application claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-241791 filed September 6, 2006, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0003] Generally, a natural keyboard musical instrument such as an acoustic piano has a structure in which, for example, when a key is pushed, a natural sound is produced by striking strings with rotationally movable hammers. Such a natural keyboard instrument has an action between the keys and the hammers. The action exerts a special reaction force (the braking force of the keys) on the player via the keys. In other words, it is said that a natural keyboard instrument has its own key touch. [0004] On the other hand, a conventional electric keyboard musical instrument such as an electric keyboard capable of generating electric sound has a spring for returning the key to...
