[0023] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a device for virtually realizing changes in the plant growth process includes a base 1, a support plate 2, a drive mechanism, and a connecting block 3 for fixing the drive mechanism, arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The drive mechanism is used to drive the connecting block 3 to move up and down reciprocally. A fixing plate 4 is provided on the connecting block 3. Two or more electromagnets 6 are arranged in an array on the fixing plate 4. A transparent storage cover 7 for storing magnetic powder is provided on the electromagnets 6. A controller for controlling the operation of the electromagnets 6 and the drive mechanism is provided on the base 1.

[0026] The controller is configured to: control the start of the electromagnet 6 and control the drive mechanism to drive the electromagnet 6 to move up and down reciprocatingly, so that the magnetic powder in the transparent storage cover 7 gradually moves upward under the attraction of the electromagnet 6, so as to virtually realize the changes in the plant growth process.

[0027] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the support plate 2 has a convex-shaped structure, and the support plate 2 and the connecting block 3 are in clearance fit.

[0028] In the above embodiment, the base 1 is fixed to the ground, so that the transparent storage cover 7 faces the group of plants to be displayed. The plant information to be displayed is input into the controller, which analyzes the information and controls the electromagnet 6 to operate. The electromagnet 6 generates magnetic attraction, causing the magnetic powder inside the transparent storage cover 7 to be attracted, thus creating the initial shape of the plant. Next, the controller controls the drive mechanism to operate, causing the connecting block 3 to move up and down reciprocally, thereby causing the fixing plate 4 and the electromagnet 6 to move up and down reciprocally. When the electromagnet 6 moves downwards, it stops operating, and no longer generates magnetic attraction on the magnetic powder already attracted by the electromagnet 6. At this time, the magnetic powder remains suspended due to inertia. When the electromagnet 6 moves to its lowest point, it moves downwards relative to the magnetic powder by a certain distance. When the electromagnet 6 moves upwards, it restarts operating, causing the electromagnet 6 to generate magnetic attraction on the magnetic powder again. When the electromagnet 6 moves to its highest point, it causes the magnetic powder to move upwards by a certain distance. The distance the magnetic powder moves is considered as the plant's growth. With the continuous reciprocating motion of electromagnet 6, the magnetic powder moves upwards, thus achieving virtual plant growth. Controlling the operation of different electromagnets 6 can control the plant's shape, thereby achieving virtual growth of different plant varieties.

[0029] The support plate 2 is inserted into the connecting block 3 to enable the connecting block 3 and the electromagnet 6 to reciprocate in the vertical direction, thus preventing the electromagnet 6 from deviating.

[0030] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the driving mechanism includes a driving motor 8 disposed on the connecting block 3, a cam 9 eccentrically disposed on the driving motor 8, a guide rod 10 disposed on the support plate 2 that fits against the surface of the cam 9, and a reset spring 11 for resetting the connecting block 3 is disposed between the connecting block 3 and the support plate 2.

[0031] In the above embodiment, when the cam 9 rotates to the lowest position, the drive motor 8 is at the highest position, and the return spring 11 is stretched. When the cam 9 rotates to the highest position, the drive motor 8 is at the lowest position, and the return spring 11 is in a free state. The switching between the highest and lowest positions of the cam 9 causes the drive motor 8 and the connecting block 3 to reciprocate up and down. A roller is provided at the top of the guide rod 10, which can effectively reduce the friction between the guide rod 10 and the cam 9.

[0032] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the driving mechanism further includes a gas storage tank 12 disposed on the fixed plate 4 for storing gas, a gas cylinder 13 for supplying gas to the gas storage tank 12 is disposed between the connecting block 3 and the support plate 2, a telescopic rod 5 with a closed structure is disposed between the electromagnet 6 and the fixed plate 4, an air inlet pipe for supplying gas is disposed between the air cylinder 13 and the telescopic rod 5, an electromagnetic valve for cutting off gas supply is disposed inside the air inlet pipe, and an elastic rope for driving the telescopic rod 5 to reset is disposed in the inner cavity of the telescopic rod 5.

[0033] In the above embodiment, during the up-and-down movement of the connecting block 3, the air cylinder 13 extends and retracts, continuously supplying gas to the air storage tank 12, thus filling the inner cavity of the air storage tank 12 with gas. Controlled by the solenoid valve, the gas in the air storage tank 12 enters the different telescopic rods 5 in an orderly manner, causing the different telescopic rods 5 to extend. The extended telescopic rods 5 drive the electromagnet 6 to move, causing the electromagnet 6 to drive the magnetic powder to display different 3D shapes, thereby simulating the shape of a plant, transforming the 2D simulation into a 3D simulation, further improving the display effect. When the display stops, the gas in the air storage tank 12 is released, and the elastic rope drives the telescopic rods 5 back to their original positions, facilitating the next extension.

[0034] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the gas storage box 12 is provided with two or more gas outlet pipes, and the other end of the gas outlet pipe away from the gas storage box 12 is provided with a nozzle located at the bottom of the transparent storage cover 7 for driving the movement of magnetic powder.

[0035] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the spray direction of the nozzle is on both sides of the horizontal plane of the transparent storage cover 7.

[0036] In the above embodiment, by providing a nozzle, the gas ejected from the nozzle drives the magnetic powder that has not been attracted at the bottom of the transparent storage cover 7 to move upward along the left and right inner sidewalls of the transparent storage cover 7. When the magnetic powder is blown to the top of the transparent storage cover 7, it falls along a parabolic trajectory. During the falling process, the magnetic powder can supplement the areas where the electromagnet 6 is not attracted enough, thereby helping to improve the integrity of the plant pattern.

[0037] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the fixing plate 4 is provided with a follow spot lamp 14 for color rendering, and the end of the electromagnet 6 away from the telescopic rod 5 is provided with a sheet 15 to prevent magnetic powder leakage and to prevent light transmission.

[0038] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the sheet 15 is an anti-reflective film.

[0039] In the above embodiment, by providing a follow spot 14, different colors of light can be emitted according to different plants, and the colors can be distinguished according to the position of the magnetic powder, which helps learners distinguish the components of the plant. Using an anti-reflective film as a background not only blocks the electromagnet 6, achieving a smooth background and improving the integrity of the plant shape, but also prevents magnetic powder from seeping out from the gaps in the electromagnet 6, thereby reducing magnetic powder loss. Furthermore, the anti-reflective film has less reflected light; filtering the light that shines onto the anti-reflective film further reveals the shape and color of the plant, making the simulated plant clearer.

[0040] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
