As mentioned above, each vibrating mass 31,32,33 is provided with in the structure of piezoelectric transducer 40, in the vibration due to string 17 of each vibrating mass 31,32,33 and when displacement, vibrations, the compression stress acted on each piezoelectric transducer 40 changes, and namely each piezoelectric transducer 40 is made a response.Thus, from each piezoelectric transducer 40 output detections signal.
And, as shown in Figure 5, the vibration detection mechanism of present embodiment possesses output unit 50, and this output unit 50 is for exporting outside by the detection signal of multiple piezoelectric transducer 40A1,40A2,40B1,40B2,40C1,40C2 output from the vibrating mass 31,32,33 being arranged at single (same).Output unit 50 is each provided with one relative to multiple vibrating mass 31,32,33.Hereinafter, only the output unit 50 corresponding with the first vibrating mass 31 is illustrated.The structure of the output unit 50 corresponding with second, third vibrating mass 32,33 output unit 50 corresponding with the first vibrating mass 31 is identical.
Output unit 50 possesses: burn out detection parts 51, and it individually detects the broken string of multiple piezoelectric transducer 40A1,40A2 of being arranged at the first vibrating mass 31;Adjusting parts 52, the amplitude detecting signal exported from piezoelectric transducer 40A1,40A2 is adjusted by it according to the testing result of burn out detection parts 51.The adjustment parts 52 of present embodiment possess blender (output block) 53 and control portion 54.
Burn out detection parts 51 utilize multiple test section 51A, 51B of the amplitude such as individually detecting the detection signal from each piezoelectric transducer 40A1,40A2 output to constitute.The testing result of each test section 51A, 51B exports control portion 54.
Blender 53 selects the arbitrary output mode in the first output mode and the second output mode to be carried out.Blender 53, under the first output mode, uses and outputs a signal to outside from the detection signal of all piezoelectric transducer 40A1,40A2 output being arranged at the first vibrating mass 31.Blender 53, under the second output mode, uses detection signal that a part of piezoelectric transducer (at least one piezoelectric transducer) from all piezoelectric transducer 40A1,40A2 exports to output a signal to outside.
Blender 53 is under the first output mode, for instance calculating the meansigma methods detecting signal from all piezoelectric transducer 40A1,40A2 output, the meansigma methods this calculated exports outside as output detections signal.Blender 53 is under the second output mode, when a part of piezoelectric transducer is multiple piezoelectric transducer, such as, calculating the meansigma methods of the detection signal exported from the plurality of piezoelectric transducer, the meansigma methods this calculated exports as output detections signal.Further, blender 53 is under the second output mode, when a part of piezoelectric transducer is a piezoelectric transducer, will export outside from a detection signal of this piezoelectric transducer output directly as output detections signal.
The switching of above-mentioned output mode can manually carry out, but be based in the present embodiment and carry out from the instruction in control portion 54.
The action of blender 53 is controlled by control portion 54 based on the testing result exported from burn out detection parts 51.
Specifically illustrating, control portion 54 is when the amplitude of the detection signal exported from test section 51A reaches below setting, it is judged that the piezoelectric transducer 40A1 corresponding with test section 51A breaks.Control portion 54 is when the amplitude of the detection signal exported from test section 51B reaches below setting, it is judged that the piezoelectric transducer 40A2 broken string corresponding with test section 51B.
And, the action of blender 53, when the arbitrary setting of Amplitude Ratio of the detection signal exported from all of test section 51A, 51B is all big, is controlled, thus implementing the first output mode in blender 53 by control portion 54.And, control portion 54 is when the amplitude of the detection signal that a part of test section 51A, 51B (at least one in all test section 51A, 51B) export reaches below setting, namely, it is judged as, when broken string occurs piezoelectric transducer 40A1,40A2 (at least one in all piezoelectric transducer 40A1,40A2) corresponding with a part of test section 51A, 51B, the action of blender 53 being controlled thus implementing the second output mode in blender 53.
Then, the action example of the output unit 50 of said structure is illustrated.
Such as, being arranged under the state that broken string does not all occur any one in all piezoelectric transducer 40A1,40A2 of the first vibrating mass 31, blender 53 is sent instruction by control portion 54, thus implementing the first output mode.The meansigma methods of the detection signal based on all piezoelectric transducer 40A1,40A2, according to the instruction implementing the first output mode sent from control portion 54, is exported outside as output detections signal by blender 53.
And, for instance, broken string occurs in two piezoelectric transducers 40A1,40A2 being arranged at the first vibrating mass 31, blender 53 is sent instruction by control portion 54, thus implementing the second output mode.Detection signal based on the piezoelectric transducer output never broken, according to the instruction implementing the second output mode sent from control portion 54, is exported outside directly as output detections signal by blender 53.
Control portion 54 can when sending the instruction implementing the second output mode, whether any one in multiple piezoelectric transducer 40A1,40A2 is broken (or, any one in multiple piezoelectric transducer 40A1,40A2 does not break) inform blender 53.As specific example, to blender 53, control portion 54 is notified that piezoelectric transducer 40A1 occurs the situation of broken string to illustrate.In this case, blender 53 can based on this notice, it is intended that the piezoelectric transducer not broken in multiple piezoelectric transducer 40A1,40A2 is piezoelectric transducer 40A2, uses the detection signal from this piezoelectric transducer 40A2 specified output to output a signal to outside.
Control portion 54 can send implement the second output mode instruction time, by whether any one in multiple piezoelectric transducer 40A1,40A2 occurs disconnection notification to blender 53.In this case, blender 53 is based on the testing result exported from burn out detection parts 51, it is intended that the piezoelectric transducer not broken in multiple piezoelectric transducer 40A1,40A2.It addition, blender 53 can use the detection signal from the output of this piezoelectric transducer specified to output a signal to outside.
In above-mentioned action example, the situation that piezoelectric transducer is two being arranged at the first vibrating mass 31 is illustrated, but present embodiment is not limited to such situation.Such as piezoelectric transducer can be more than three.In this case, when burn out detection parts 51 detect the broken string of a part of piezoelectric transducer, blender 53 is based on the testing result exported from burn out detection parts 51, and the meansigma methods of the detection signal exported by all the other piezoelectric transducers such as never broken exports as output detections signal.Further, when all the other piezoelectric transducers not broken are one, the detection signal from remaining piezoelectric transducer output is directly exported outside by blender 53.
Then, from the output detections signal of multiple output units 50 output corresponding with multiple vibrating mass 31,32,33, for instance shown in Fig. 6, it is possible to as voice data record in record portion 61, or export outside as acoustical signal.Record voice data in record portion 61 can be used in the reproduction etc. of sound.The output detections signal of multiple output units 50 such as can export outside as shown in Figure 6 in blender 62 after mixing but it also may such as individually exports.Further, the output detections signal of multiple output units 50, it is possible to such as individually record portion 61 is arrived in output as shown in Figure 6 but it also may such as after mixing, record portion 61 is arrived in output in blender 62.Further, output detections signal can such as record or output after amplifier 63 amplifies as shown in Figure 6.The output detections signal exported from multiple output units 50 such as can be performed individually amplification by amplifier 63 as shown in Figure 6, it is also possible to be such as amplified at the mixed signal of blender 62.
And it is possible to optionally record or export a part (at least one in multiple output detections signals) for the output detections signal from multiple output units 50.Such as, piezoelectric transducer 40B1,40B2,40C1,40C2 of being arranged at the second vibrating mass 32 and the 3rd vibrating mass 33 predominantly detect the vibration of identical range.Accordingly it is also possible to only record or export the output detections signal of an output unit in corresponding two output unit 50.And it is possible to the side at the second vibrating mass 32 and the 3rd vibrating mass 33 arranges such as piezoelectric transducer 40.
Vibration detection mechanism as discussed above, according to the piano 1 of present embodiment, exports outside by the output detections signal based on the multiple detection signals exported from the multiple piezoelectric transducers 40 being arranged at single vibrating mass 31,32 or 33.Therefore, it is possible to suppress based on the piezoelectric transducer 40 deviation relative to the accuracy of detection of the mounting condition of vibrating mass 31,32 or 33.Namely, the vibration output that can suppress the string 17 based on formed objects is different according to the position (range of piano 1) of the length direction of piezoelectric transducer 40 to the size of outside output detections signal, therefore, it is possible to realize the homogenization of the size of output detections signal.
And, vibration detection mechanism according to present embodiment, it is provided with multiple piezoelectric transducer 40, it is assumed that even if a part of piezoelectric transducer 40 breaks, it is also possible to the detection signal exported from remaining piezoelectric transducer 40 is exported to outside at single vibrating mass 31,32 or 33.Therefore, there is no need to change the piezoelectric transducer 40 that broken string occurs, it becomes possible to the performance of piano 1 is converted to the signal of telecommunication and exports to outside or be recorded.Further, even if a part of piezoelectric transducer 40 arranged on single vibrating mass 31,32 or 33 in the performance of piano 1 breaks, it is also possible to proceed the performance of piano 1.
