具有蜘蛛網狀感測器之電子鼓及鈸 Electronic drum and cymbal with spider web sensor 【相關申請案之交叉引用】[Cross-reference to related applications]

本申請案係為2012年9月12日申請之美國專利申請案第13/612,508號之部分接續(CIP)申請案,其全文係以引用方式併入本文中。 This application is a continuation-in-the-part (CIP) application of U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 13/612,508, filed on Sep. 12, 2012, which is hereby incorporated by reference.

本發明係有關於電子樂器領域,更具體而言,其係有關於電子打擊樂器。 The present invention relates to the field of electronic musical instruments, and more particularly to electronic percussion instruments.

有多種類型的電子樂器,包括電子打擊樂器。電子鼓(也稱為數位鼓)是一種常見的電子打擊樂器類型,並且通常歸類為擊鼓板及鈸。在一般情況下,擊鼓板係由橡膠板或網狀板所組成。 There are many types of electronic instruments, including electronic percussion instruments. Electronic drums (also known as digital drums) are a common type of electronic percussion instrument and are often classified as drum boards and cymbals. In general, the drum board is composed of a rubber sheet or a mesh sheet.

在習用具有橡膠板的擊鼓板中,係將一薄金屬板黏附於該橡膠板,且有一壓電感應器設置於該金屬板的中心或靠近該中心而設置。在習用的鈸之中,該壓電感應器係直接設置於該橡膠板上。第12圖係為一習用電子擊鼓板之示意圖,第13圖係為一習用電子鈸之示意圖。如在第12及13圖中所示,壓電感應器的訊號偵測範圍較小,特別是與該擊鼓板與鈸的敲擊區域大小相比時。如果當擊鼓板或鈸的敲擊區域的尺寸也較小時這不會是一個顯著的問題。然而,相對於非電子鼓或鈸,1:1比例的電子擊鼓板或鈸係具有相對較大的敲擊區域,且因此該壓電感應器對於在敲擊區域的周邊區域上的敲擊之靈敏度可以降低。再者,該壓電感應器在該敲擊區域上所感測到之由敲擊所引起的震動,以及由該壓電感應器所產生之供生成電子敲擊聲音之訊號可能不穩定。由此產生的電子聲音往往不夠理想。 In a conventional drum board having a rubber sheet, a thin metal plate is adhered to the rubber sheet, and a piezoelectric inductor is disposed at or near the center of the metal sheet. Among the conventional cymbals, the piezoelectric inductor is directly disposed on the rubber sheet. Fig. 12 is a schematic view of a conventional electronic drum board, and Fig. 13 is a schematic view of a conventional electronic cymbal. As shown in Figures 12 and 13, the signal detection range of the piezoelectric sensor is small, especially when compared to the size of the striking area of the drum plate and the cymbal. This is not a significant problem if the size of the hitting area of the drumboard or cymbal is also small. However, a 1:1 ratio of electronic drumming boards or tethers has a relatively large striking area relative to a non-electronic drum or cymbal, and thus the piezoelectric sensor strikes on a peripheral area of the striking area The sensitivity can be reduced. Moreover, the vibration caused by the tapping of the piezoelectric sensor on the tapping area and the signal generated by the piezoelectric sensor for generating an electronic tapping sound may be unstable. The resulting electronic sound is often less than ideal.

本發明提供了多種電子打擊樂器之實施例,諸如電子鼓或 電子鈸。與目前的電子打擊樂器相比,根據本發明之電子打擊樂器產生了對於電子聲音生成具有改善的穩定性之信號。此外,根據本發明之電子打擊樂器對於敲擊區域的大小增加了訊號檢測範圍。 The present invention provides embodiments of various electronic percussion instruments, such as electronic drums or Electronic 钹.

概述Overview

一根據本發明之電子打擊樂器係利用了一新穎的震動共振構件。該震動共振構件係通過一震動阻尼構件以因應於傳感而感測出共振,以及由該電子打擊樂器之敲擊構件於其受使用者敲打、觸擊或以其他方式敲擊時所產生的震動。該震動共振構件包括一中樞部分、複數個由該中樞部分徑向延伸之徑向部分、以及複數個螺旋部分。該等螺旋部分中之每一者係設置於各自的二個徑向部分之間並與其連接。該等徑向部分中之每一者係通過該等螺旋部分中之一或多者而連接至各自的相鄰徑向部分。因此,該震動共振構件具有大致上類似於蜘蛛網的結構配置,並做為與其蜘蛛網狀結構一致的有效震動感應器。可採用該震動共振構件的輪廓而配合該電子打擊樂器之敲擊構件(例如,一金屬板,或一金屬版與橡膠板的結合體)之特定形狀及尺寸。本發明隻電子打擊樂器之壓電感應器因而產生的訊號偵測 範圍係因此相對較大(即,涵蓋了該敲擊構件的大部分區域),且用以產生電子打擊聲音的訊號較為穩定。 An electronic percussion instrument in accordance with the present invention utilizes a novel vibrating resonance member. The vibration resonating member is sensed by a shock absorbing member to sense resonance in response to sensing, and is generated by a tapping member of the electronic percussion instrument when it is knocked, struck, or otherwise struck by a user. shock. The seismic resonating member includes a central portion, a plurality of radial portions extending radially from the central portion, and a plurality of helical portions. Each of the spiral portions is disposed between and connected to the respective two radial portions. Each of the radial portions is connected to a respective adjacent radial portion by one or more of the helical portions. Thus, the seismic resonant member has a structural configuration that is substantially similar to a spider web and acts as an effective vibration sensor consistent with its spider web structure. The contour of the vibration resonating member can be used to match the specific shape and size of the tapping member of the electronic percussion instrument (for example, a metal plate, or a combination of a metal plate and a rubber plate). The invention detects the signal detection only by the piezoelectric sensor of the electronic percussion instrument The range is therefore relatively large (i.e., covers most of the area of the tapping member) and the signal used to generate the electronic striking sound is relatively stable.

示例性實施例Exemplary embodiment

Advantageously, an increase in the number of radial portions (or struts) allows the electronic sound producing unit to obtain more dense sound waves and more samples in a given period of time, thus misidentifying the force of the impact striking member Sex is minimized.

再者,當從一較靠近該中樞部分的環狀部分至一較遠離該 中樞部分的環狀部分之環狀部分寬度增加時,可以由打擊該敲擊構件邊緣而得到一向下傾斜的聲波曲線,從而減少雙重觸發。 Furthermore, when from an annular portion closer to the central portion to a farther away from the When the width of the annular portion of the annular portion of the central portion is increased, a downwardly inclined acoustic wave curve can be obtained by striking the edge of the striking member, thereby reducing double triggering.
