Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a constraint conversion device and a demonstration teaching aid for constructing influence lines of multi-span statically determinate beams using the kinematic method, belonging to the technical field of structural mechanics teaching and research. Background Technology
[0002] In structural mechanics, drawing influence lines is used to solve the problem of calculating the internal forces of a structure under moving loads. There are generally two methods for drawing influence lines: the static method and the kinematic method. The kinematic method transforms the static problem of drawing influence lines into a geometric problem of drawing displacement diagrams. Its advantage is that the shape of the influence lines can be obtained without calculation.
[0003] The kinematic method for constructing influence lines first involves removing the constraints corresponding to the desired quantity and replacing them with constraint forces, resulting in a geometrically variable system. Then, the system is allowed to undergo virtual displacement, with the generalized displacement corresponding to that quantity being a unit displacement. However, in actual learning, students often struggle to understand the motion modes of the geometrically variable system under constraint forces after constraint removal. Therefore, a demonstrative teaching aid is urgently needed to intuitively demonstrate how a geometrically variable system moves under constraint forces after constraint removal. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a constraint conversion device and a demonstration teaching tool for drawing the influence line of a multi-span statically determinate beam using the kinematic method.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is implemented using the following technical solution.
[0006] On one hand, the present invention provides a constraint conversion device, comprising:
[0007] The first connector connects to and fixes the first rigid member;
[0008] The second connector connects to and fixes the second rigid member;
[0009] Several shear constraint conversion boxes with the same shape, height, and proportionally varying length and width are nested together to form a telescopic shear constraint conversion box group; each shear constraint conversion box has a first pin hole, and after all the shear constraint conversion boxes are nested together and their positions overlap, all the first pin holes can be fixed by the first pin shaft.
[0010] A hinged constraint conversion track, one end of which is fixedly connected to a first connector, and the other end of which is hinged or fixedly connected to the shear constraint conversion box assembly.
[0011] Furthermore, the shear constraint box has a square structure.
[0012] Furthermore, a tension limiting structure is provided between adjacent shear constraint conversion boxes. The tension limiting structure includes a limiting key and a limiting groove. The limiting key is located at the lower end of the inner edge of the outer shear constraint conversion box, and the limiting groove is opened on the outer edge of the inner shear constraint conversion box, with no groove at the upper end of the outer edge. The limiting key is slidably placed in the limiting groove.
[0013] Furthermore, both the first and second connecting members include rigid rod slots and fastening rings.
[0014] The rigid rod slot is inserted into one end of the rigid rod, and the fastening ring is placed on the rigid rod slot. The diameter of the rigid rod slot is changed by rotating the fastening ring in order to press one end of the rigid rod.
[0015] Furthermore, the innermost shear constraint conversion box in the shear constraint conversion box group has a protrusion at its lower end, and the protrusion has three through holes in the vertical direction;
[0016] The hinge constraint conversion track connects to the shear constraint conversion box at one end, which includes a first protrusion and a second protrusion. The first protrusion has two through holes in the vertical direction, and the second protrusion has one through hole.
[0017] The first protrusion is inserted into the extension and passes through two through holes on the extension and the first protrusion respectively via two fixed shafts, so that the hinge constraint conversion track is fixedly connected to the shear constraint conversion box.
[0018] The second protrusion is inserted into the extension and passes through a fixed shaft through a through hole on each of the extension and the second protrusion, so that the hinge constraint conversion track is hinged to the shear constraint conversion box.
[0019] Secondly, a demonstration tool for constructing influence lines of multi-span statically determinate beams using the kinematic method includes:
[0020] Rigid members, fixed supports, hinged supports, support slots, slot frames, constraint conversion devices;
[0021] The inner side of the card slot frame is provided with several support card slots, which are used to fix the fixed support or to hinge the hinge support.
[0022] The hinged support is hinged to the rigid rod;
[0023] Several rigid members are connected in sequence by the constraint conversion device. The end of the rigid member at the first end that is not connected to the constraint conversion device is connected to the fixed support. The end of the rigid member at the last end that is not connected to the constraint conversion device is a free end or a hinged support.
[0024] Furthermore, the support slot is a circular slot hole opened in the slot frame.
[0025] The beneficial effects achieved by this invention are as follows:
[0026] The constraint conversion device provided by this invention can switch between shear constraints and hinge constraints. The provided structural mechanics deformation demonstration teaching aid components allow students to assemble the desired structural form and release the corresponding constraints, intuitively displaying the structural motion patterns and deepening students' understanding of the mechanism's motion modes under external forces. The use of the demonstration teaching aid provides an interactive and practical learning method, increasing student interest and participation. Students can understand and apply knowledge through self-operation and exploration, thus better engaging in the learning process. Attached Figure Description

[0037] Several shear constraint conversion boxes 21 with the same shape, the same height, and proportionally varying length and width are connected together to form a telescopic shear constraint conversion box group; each shear constraint conversion box 21 is provided with a first pin hole 26, and after all the shear constraint conversion boxes 21 are connected and their positions overlap, all the first pin holes 26 can be fixed by the first pin shaft 31.

The limiting key 202 is slidably placed in the limiting groove 201. The setting of the limiting key 202 and the limiting groove 201 ensures that the shear constraint boxes 21 can be locked together when pulled open.
[0039] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first and second connectors each include a first rigid rod slot 23, a second rigid rod slot 24, and a fastening ring 25. The first rigid rod slot 23 and the second rigid rod slot 24 are respectively inserted into one end of the rigid rod. The fastening ring 25 is placed on the first rigid rod slot 23 and the second rigid rod slot 24, and the diameter of the first rigid rod slot 23 and the second rigid rod slot 24 can be changed by rotating the fastening ring 25 in order to press one end of the rigid rod.
[0040] One end of the hinge constraint conversion track 22 is fixedly connected to the second rigid rod slot 24, and the other end of the hinge constraint conversion track 22 is hinged or fixedly connected to the shear constraint conversion box assembly.
[0041] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the innermost shear constraint conversion box 21 in the shear constraint conversion box group has a protrusion 30 at its lower end, and the protrusion has three through holes in the vertical direction; the hinge constraint conversion track 22, which connects to one end of the shear constraint conversion box 21, includes a first protrusion 222 and a second protrusion 221. The first protrusion 222 has two through holes in the vertical direction, and the second protrusion 221 has one through hole.
[0042] The other end of the hinge constraint conversion track 22 is fixedly connected to the shear constraint conversion box assembly in the following manner: the first protrusion 222 is inserted into the extension 30, and the first fixed shaft 27 and the second fixed shaft 28 pass through the two through holes on the extension and the first protrusion 222 respectively, so that the hinge constraint conversion track 22 is fixedly connected to the shear constraint conversion box 21.
[0043] The other end of the hinge constraint conversion track 22 is hinged to the shear constraint conversion box assembly in the following manner: the second protrusion 221 is inserted into the extension 30, and a third fixed shaft 29 passes through a through hole on the extension 30 and the second protrusion 221, so that the hinge constraint conversion track 22 is hinged to the shear constraint conversion box 21.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the innermost box in the shear constraint transformation box group is a solid box, while the rest are hollow boxes.
[0046] Figure 6 The constraint conversion device is in a hinge constraint state, the first pin hole 26 is in a fastened state, and the hinge constraint conversion track 22 is fastened to the corresponding through hole 29 and hinged to the shear constraint box 21 through the third fixed shaft 29.
[0047] Figure 7 The constraint conversion device is in a fixed constraint state. The first pin hole 26 is in a tight state by inserting the first pin shaft 31. The hinge constraint conversion track 22 is fixedly connected to the shear constraint box 21 by fastening the corresponding through holes through the first fixed shaft 27 and the second fixed shaft 28.

[0049] 1. Rigid member; 2. First constraint conversion device; 3. Second constraint conversion device; 4. Third constraint conversion device; 5. Fixed support; 6. Hinge support; 7. Support slot; 8. Slot frame.
[0050] The support slot 7 is a circular slot in the slot frame, used to fix the fixed support 5 or the hinged support 6 as shown. The slot design of the support slot 7 makes it easy to replace the fixed support 5, the hinged support 6, etc., for various demonstrations.
[0051] like Figure 1As shown, this is a structural form of a teaching aid for demonstrating the influence line of a multi-span statically determinate beam using the kinematic method of this invention. Point A is a fixed support, and points B, C, and D are hinged supports. The first constraint conversion device 2 is in a shear constraint state, and the second constraint conversion device 3 is in a hinge constraint state, demonstrating the shape of the shear force influence line at point E.
