Description
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 partial continuation (CIP) application of US Patent Application No. 13 / 612,508, filed on September 12, 2012, the entirety of which is incorporated herein 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 specifically, it relates 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 musical instruments, including electronic percussion instruments. Electronic drums (also called digital drums) are a common type of electronic percussion instrument and are generally classified as drum pads and cymbals. In general, the drum plate is composed of a rubber plate or a mesh plate.
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 the conventional drum pad with a rubber plate, a thin metal plate is adhered to the rubber plate, and a piezoelectric sensor is disposed at or near the center of the metal plate. In the conventional puppet, the piezoelectric sensor is directly disposed on the rubber plate. Fig. 12 is a schematic diagram of a conventional electronic drum pad, and Fig. 13 is a schematic diagram of a conventional electronic drum. As shown in Figures 12 and 13, the signal detection range of the piezoelectric sensor is small, especially when compared with the size of the hitting area of the drum pad and cymbal. This would not be a significant problem if the size of the striking area of the drum pad or cymbal is also small. However, a 1: 1 ratio of an electronic drum pad or cymbal has a relatively large hitting area relative to a non-electronic drum or cymbal, and therefore the piezo sensor is effective for hitting on a peripheral area of the hitting area The sensitivity can be reduced. Furthermore, the vibration caused by the tap, which is sensed by the piezoelectric sensor on the tap region, and the signal generated by the piezoelectric sensor for generating an electronic tap sound may be unstable. The resulting electronic sound is often not 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 an electronic drum or Electronic puppet.

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、以及複數個呈弧形或直線形之連續或不連續的肋狀部分。該等肋狀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肋狀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 system according to the present invention utilizes a novel vibration resonance member. The vibration resonance member is a vibration damping member to sense resonance in response to sensing, and is generated by a percussion member of the electronic percussion instrument when it is struck, struck, or otherwise struck by a user. shock. The vibration resonance member includes a central portion, a plurality of radial portions extending radially from the central portion, and a plurality of continuous or discontinuous rib-shaped portions that are arc-shaped or linear.

The diameter of 1700 may be about 14 inches, and the diameter of the vibration resonance member 1800 may be about 16 inches.
至少在一些實施例中,該震動共振構件的厚度係介於約0.3毫米及約5.0毫米之間。 In at least some embodiments, the thickness of the vibration resonance member is between about 0.3 mm and about 5.0 mm.
與該等震動共振構件(120、620、720及820)相比,該等震動共振構件(1400、1500、1600、1700及1800)中之每一者具有更多的徑向部分,或支桿。有利的是,徑向部分(或支桿)數量的增加可讓該電子聲音產生單元在一給定的時段內獲得更密集的聲波以及更多的取樣,因而將誤判打擊衝擊部件的力量的可能性降至最低。 Compared to the vibration resonance members (120, 620, 720, and 820), each of the vibration resonance members (1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, and 1800) has more radial portions, or struts . Advantageously, the increase in the number of radial portions (or struts) allows the electronic sound generating unit to obtain denser sound waves and more samples within a given period of time, and thus will misjudge the possibility of striking the impact force on the component. Sex is minimized.
再者,當從一較靠近該中樞部分的肋狀部分至一較遠離該中樞部分的肋狀部分之肋狀部分寬度增加時,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 the width of the rib-like portion from a rib-like portion closer to the central portion to a rib-like portion farther from the central portion is increased, the edge of the striking member can be hit by A downward-sloping sound wave curve is obtained, thereby reducing double triggering.
附加的及替代的實施方式注釋Additional and alternative implementation notes
上述之技術、裝置及設備係有關於具有蜘蛛網狀感應器之電子打擊樂器,諸如電子鼓及電子鈸。雖然以特定於某些應用的語言描述了本發明之技術,但可理解本發明所附申請專利範圍並不一定限於本文所述的具體特徵或應用。相反的,這些具體特徵及應用係作為實現這類技術的示例形式而揭露。 The above-mentioned technologies, devices, and equipment relate to electronic percussion instruments such as electronic drums and electronic cymbals with spider web sensors. Although the technology of the present invention has been described in language specific to certain applications, it is understood that the scope of the patent application accompanying the present invention is not necessarily limited to the specific features or applications described herein. Rather, these specific features and applications are disclosed as example forms of implementing such techniques.
在上述該等示例性實施例的描述中,出於解釋目的,陳述了具體數量、材料配置及其他細節以便更好解釋申請專利範圍中所要求保護的本發明。然而,對於本領域技術人員而言,使用與本文描述的示例性細節不同的細節來實施本案所要求保護的發明係顯而易見的。在其他情況下,係省略或簡化眾所周知的技術特徵以闡明該等示例性實施例的描述。 In the description of the above exemplary embodiments, for the purpose of explanation, specific quantities, material configurations and other details are stated in order to better explain the invention claimed in the scope of the patent application. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the details of implementing the claimed invention using details other than the exemplary details described herein. In other cases, well-known technical features are omitted or simplified to clarify the description of the exemplary embodiments.
本發明人意圖使所描述的示例性實施方式做為主要實例。本發明人不意圖使這些示例性實施方式限制所附專利範圍之範疇。更確切地說,本發明人已經預期到所要求保護的發明還可以結合其他現有的或將來的技術而以其他方式來體現及實施。 The inventor intends to make the described exemplary embodiment a main example. The inventors do not intend to limit these exemplary embodiments to the scope of the appended patents. More precisely, the inventors have expected that the claimed invention may also be embodied and implemented in other ways in combination with other existing or future technologies.
此外,本文中所使用的詞語"示例性"意旨用作示例、實例或說明。本文中被描述為"示例性"的任何態樣或設計並不一定要被解釋為其比其他態樣或設計更為優選或有利。相反的,使用詞語示例性係旨於以具體的方式呈現概念及技術。例如,術語“技術”係可指如本文所描述的上下文所指示的一或多個裝置、設備、系統、方法、製品、及/或計算機可讀指令。 In addition, the word "exemplary" used herein is intended to serve as an example, instance, or illustration. Any aspect or design described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other aspects or designs. Rather, the use of words exemplary is intended to present concepts and techniques in a concrete manner. For example, the term "technology" may refer to one or more devices, devices, systems, methods, articles of manufacture, and / or computer readable instructions as indicated by the context described herein.
如本案中所使用的,術語“或”係意圖指包括性的“或”,而非排他性的“或”。也就是說,除非另有指定或從上下文可清楚看到,否則“X採用A或B”係意指自然的包括性排列中之任一者。也就是說,如果X採用A;X採用B;或X採用A及B二者,則在上述示例中之任一者的情況下都滿足“X採用A或B”。此外,除非另有指定或從上下文可清楚看到其指的是單數形式,本案及所附申請專利範圍中所使用的冠詞“一”及“一個”一般應解釋為其係指“一個或多個”。 As used in this case, the term "or" is intended to mean an inclusive "or" rather than an exclusive "or". That is, unless otherwise specified or clearly visible from the context, "X adopts A or B" means any of the natural inclusive permutations. That is, if X employs A; X employs B; or X employs both A and B, then "X employs A or B" is satisfied in either of the above examples. In addition, unless specified otherwise or clear from the context that it refers to a singular form, the articles "a" and "an" used in this application and the scope of the appended patents should generally be construed to mean "one or more Each. "
出於本發明及申請專利範圍之目的,術語“耦接”及“連接”可以用於描述各種元件的對接方式。以此方式所描述的各種元件對接方式係可為直接或間接的。 For the purposes of the present invention and the scope of patent applications, the terms "coupled" and "connected" may be used to describe the way in which various components are docked. The way in which the various elements are described in this manner can be direct or indirect.
