Description:
A Magnetic Sound Receiver for Instruments

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a magnetic sound receiver that reduces the noise level of humbucker magnetic receivers to a minimum level, reduces the noise signal and sends the original audio signal to the amplifier in high quality without disturbing the humbucker's natural physical structure.

Prior Art

An instrument or musical instrument or instrument is the general name given to instruments used to make music. As a matter of principle, any sound-making object can be an instrument; but what makes an object an instrument is its use to make music. One of the types of instruments is electronic instruments. Electronic music has a large share in today's music industry. It has become a direct or indirect part of almost all music genres.

The magnetic receiver is one of the most important aspects of distinguishing the sound of an electric guitar. This receiver is mostly mounted on the body of the instrument. The strength and styles of magnetics are different. While some magnetics can be single coil, other magnetics can be double coil (humbucker).

A typical magnetic receiver is one that converts the vibration of an instrument string made of one or more permanent magnets wound with a coil of several thousand turns of thin enamelled copper string, into an electrical signal. The permanent magnet in the magnetic magnetizes the guitar string above it, causing the string to create a magnetic field that aligns with that of the permanent magnet. When the wire is touched with the plectrum, the magnetic field around it moves up and down with the wire. This induces a current in the motion coil. An electrical signal such as 100-600 millivolts occurs depending on the number of coil turns or the power of the magnet. This signal is connected to the amplifier with a cable and the sound of the instrument is strengthened in the amplifier and comes out of the speaker.

The first designed magnetic receiver in the state of the art was a single coil. But due to the interference problem, dual coil humbucker magnetics were designed and the noise level in single coil was reduced. Although it has been reduced, it cannot be said that the noise signal is completely eliminated. This noise signal becomes apparent in high-power amplifiers or when a preamplifier is inserted. In general, the chassis of the humbucker magnetic is connected to the instrument's strings with a cable so as to minimize this noise signal. When the artist touches the strings to play the instrument, the interference signal decreases, but when he/she removes his/her hand from the strings, the noise signal increases again. The noise signal is undesirable. There are humbuckers with metal caps that reduce noise, but their case is different from normal magnetic receivers. Occasionally, when the person playing the instrument wants to change the magnetic receiver instead of changing the instrument, he/she gives up on changing the magnetic receiver because the dimensions of the casing do not fit. Since the outer casing of normal humbuckers and metal-capped humbuckers is visually different. In the current system, only the lower part of the coil wire has the metal chassis of the humbucker and it cuts the noise coming from the back. However, since the sides and front of the coil remain free, the coil wire collects the electromagnetic signals in the air like an antenna.

In the state of the art, the coil wire of the humbucker magnetic receiver is wrapped in a plastic pulley and when the winding is finished, the coil wire is covered with cloth tape, cloth tape or plastic tape. The disadvantage of this system is that the coil collects the interference signals coming from outside like an antenna and mixes them into the original audio signal since the coil pulley is insulating plastic and covered with an insulating tape. This means that the noise signal increases.

Aim of the Invention

The aim of the present invention is to reveal a different product that brings a new perspective in this field, unlike the products used in the state of the art.

Another aim of the invention is to reduce the noise level of humbucker magnetic receivers to the minimum level in the instrument used.

Another aim of the present invention is to reduce the noise signal and send the original audio signal to the amplifier in a higher quality without changing the casing compared to the existing system, that is, without adding a metal cover thereon and without disturbing the natural physical structure of the humbucker.

Another aim of the present invention is to cover the inside and outside of the pulley on which the coil is wound with a copper tape-foil, in order to reduce the interference signal, and then connect the foil to the chassis of the humbucker with a copper cable and ensure that the noise signal goes to ground before it reaches the coil.

Another aim of the invention is that the person playing the instrument can remove his/her own magnet without changing the instrument and insert the inventive noiseless magnetic without stopping his/her instrument.

In order to fulfill the aims mentioned above; it comprises of the following so as to reduce the noise signal and send the original audio signal to the amplifier in a higher quality;

- coil pulley (11) on which copper foil (14) is wrapped, the bottom part of which is contacted with magnets (20),

- metal core (12) placed in said coil pulley (11) cavity and contacted with magnets (20), and

- a copper tape (23) that is wrapped around the magnetic receiver (10) and soldered to the chassis (13) with a copper cable (24) that prevents the coil and the output cable (18) from getting interference from outside.

Detailed Description of the Invention

In Figure-1 ; the Two Dimensional Representation View of the inventive Instrument (A) is illustrated. In Figure-1.1 ; is the two-dimensional top view of the inventive magnetic sound receiver (10) is illustrated. A typical magnetic receiver (10) that converts the vibration of an instrument string made of one or more permanent magnets (20) wound with a coil (11) of several thousand turns of thin enameled copper string, into an electrical signal, is revealed with the present invention. The permanent magnet (20) in the magnetic is in contact with the metal core (12). There are two metal cores (12) in a humbucker magnetic receiver (10). The lower part touches the magnets (20), and the upper part is on the pulley (11) on which the coil is wound. Metal cores (12), which transmit the magnetic field in the permanent magnet (20) to the wires, amplify the electrical signal to be formed in the coil. The metal core (12) magnetizes the string in the instrument. This causes the wire to create a magnetic field aligned with the permanent magnet

(20). When the wire is touched with the plectrum, the magnetic field around it moves up and down with the wire. This movement induces a current in the coil wound on the coil pulley (11). An electrical signal such as 100-600 millivolts occurs depending on the number of coil turns or the power of the magnet (20). This signal is connected to the amplifier with a cable and the sound of the instrument is strengthened in the amplifier and comes out of the speaker.

Figure-4; While the magnetic receiver (10) humbucker is being produced, firstly, copper tape (23) is adhered to both plastic pulleys, and the floor and ceiling copper foil (22) is adhered to the bottom and top of the middle section. Figure-6; Then, the coil wire (21) is wound on both coil pulleys (11) in the same direction. After the winding process is finished, figure-7; the coil wire

(21), which provides the electrical signal in the Humbucker, is wrapped around the copper tape (23) and the starting and ending ends of the coil are soldered to the PCB board (19), and the output cable (18) is soldered to the PCB board. In the prior art, instead of the PCB board (19), the coil was wound onto the output cable (18) and soldering was performed. Then, insulation was provided by heat shrink tube. However, in the case of PCB board (19) soldering, it was observed that time and production were saved. Because the heat shrink tube is completely eliminated, the cost of the tube has also been eliminated. Since there is no heat energy used to shrink the tube, energy savings have been made. Since soldering to the PCB board (19) is faster, time is also saved. After the coils are wounds and ends of the coils are soldered, figure-8; metal cores (12) are placed inside the coil pulleys. Then the bands surrounding the coil are soldered at the joints. In order to solder the copper tape (23) to the chassis (13), the cable (24) is soldered to the copper tape (23). Figure-9; Magnets (20) are placed on the edge of the Metal Cores (12). The chassis (13) of the magnetic sound receiver (10) is fixed to the screw holes (17) of the core (12) with screws (16) and the screw channel (15). Screw channel (15) is used to fix and ground the metal core (12) Before the bobbin is wound on the pulley (11), the floor and ceiling copper foil (22) adhered to the lower and upper sides of the coil is soldered to the tapes (23) adhered to the inside and outside of the coil, connecting the interference signal to the coil wire (21) to ground. The copper foil (14) to be wound in the middle of the coil pulley, to cover the coil before and after the coil is wound, is soldered to the tapes (23) sticking to the lower and upper parts of the coil and connects the interference signal to the coil wire (21) to ground. Connection solder (25) is used to adhere the tapes that will wrap the coil 360 degrees. The wide copper tape (23) is wrapped around the magnetic receiver (10) and soldered to the chassis (13) with the copper cable (24) preventing the coil and the output cable (18) from getting interference from outside. The chassis (13), which forms the outer skeleton of the magnetic receiver, is soldered to the grounding end of the cable and used to mount the instrument. The magnetic receiver (10) is screwed through the mounting screw holes (17) for mounting to the instrument. In general, two magnetic receivers (10) are preferably attached to the electro instruments. If the magnetic receivers (10) are made with a double coil pulley (11), they are called humbuckers as the international term. In our country, it is called electro reed magnet.
