Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention discloses a friction experimental device, belonging to the field of theoretical mechanics experimental technology, and particularly relates to a portable static friction experimental device for teaching experiments. Background Technology
[0002] Theoretical mechanics is a highly theoretical and fundamental technical course, one of the basic theories of modern engineering technology, with wide applications in many fields of life and engineering. When an object moves along the tangent of its contact surface or has a tendency to move relative to another object, there is a force between the contact surfaces that opposes their relative motion; this is called friction. This phenomenon or characteristic between contact surfaces is called "friction." In current mechanics courses, on-site demonstrations of relevant mechanical knowledge are often conducted to help students better understand these concepts. Experiments teaching friction phenomena in theoretical mechanics often demonstrate the quantitative measurement of the maximum static sliding friction force and the friction angle between two objects. However, current teaching aids for demonstrating friction cannot intuitively digitize, graphically represent, or automate the friction angle measurement results. Furthermore, the randomness of student experiments affects the accuracy and precision of the experimental data, thus impacting learning efficiency and effectiveness. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and defects of existing technologies by providing a friction experiment device for teaching experiments. This device automates, intelligently integrates, and humanizes the experimental process, simplifies operation, displays experimental results digitally, and automatically adjusts the friction tilt angle. Different friction test plates made of different materials can be used in different experiments, facilitating students' understanding of the influence of materials on friction. Adjustable feet at the bottom allow for easy horizontal adjustment of the device. The static friction experiment device is convenient to use, small in size, lightweight, and easy to carry.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a friction testing device, comprising a base plate, an electric cylinder assembly mounted on the base plate, and a housing. The base plate has four adjustable feet. A hinge assembly is mounted on one end of the housing, connecting it to one end of a base plate. The base plate and the base plate are connected via the electric cylinder assembly. A retaining edge is mounted on the end of the base plate near the hinge assembly. An angle measuring instrument is also mounted on the base plate. A switching power supply and a controller for controlling the electric cylinder assembly are fixed on the base plate inside the housing. The base plate can hold friction test plates of various materials, and the maximum static sliding friction force can be measured using a tension gauge. The operator can use a remote control to operate the controller, thereby driving the electric cylinder assembly to lift or lower one end of the base plate, achieving automatic adjustment of the base plate's tilt angle. This meets the testing requirements for the maximum static sliding friction force and friction angle of friction test plates of different materials under various tilt angles. The base plate tilt angle can be automatically and flexibly adjusted according to testing requirements.
[0005] Based on the above technical solutions, preferably, the electric cylinder assembly includes an electric cylinder, a hinge seat at the bottom of the electric cylinder, and a hinge at the head of the electric cylinder; the mounting position of the hinge at the head of the electric cylinder and the base plate is determined by calculation based on the maximum tilt angle requirement of the base plate and the maximum stroke of the electric cylinder.
[0006] Preferably, the substrate has a retaining edge at one end near the hinge assembly.
[0007] More preferably, the angle measuring instrument is a digital display inclinometer, and the tension gauge is a digital display tension gauge.
[0008] The portable static friction experimental device described above has a switching power supply and a controller installed on the inner bottom plate of the housing. This provides electrical control support for the operation of the electric cylinder assembly and can also be controlled by a remote control.
[0009] The lower base plate of the portable static friction experimental device is equipped with horizontal adjustment feet, the core function of which is to perform horizontal calibration of the substrate at the beginning of the experiment, providing basic accuracy assurance for the experiment.
[0010] The effects and benefits of this invention are: (1) This invention has a simple structure and is easy to use. The experimental process is automated and user-friendly. It is easy to operate and the angle of the inclined plate can be easily adjusted. The experimental results are displayed digitally and intuitively. The system is stable, reliable and easy to manage. (2) By changing the friction test plate of different materials, this invention can use different materials to conduct experiments during the experiment, which makes it easier for the experimenters to understand the influence of materials on friction. The electric cylinder assembly can freely and automatically adjust the tilt angle of the plate, so as to conduct friction coefficient experiments of different materials at different angles, which is convenient for comparison. (3) This invention uses a digital display reading device, which makes the readings of the maximum static sliding friction force and friction angle more accurate. At the same time, it can also more intuitively display the relevant experimental data to students. It is also small in size and easy to carry. (4) The bottom plate of this invention is equipped with horizontal adjustment feet, which makes it convenient to calibrate the plate at the beginning of the experiment and to adjust the horizontal level of the operating table, providing basic accuracy guarantee for the experiment.
