[0002] An eddy current tube is a simple energy separation device that can divide compressed air or other gases into hot and cold parts to achieve the effect of refrigeration or heating. The invention of the eddy current tube can be traced back to the early 20th century. Its uniqueness lies in that it does not require moving parts and will not cause wear, so it is maintenance-free and has a long service life. In addition, the eddy current tube does not involve any chemical reactions during operation and has high safety, especially suitable for occasions that require precise environmental control. Therefore, further research and development based on the application of eddy current tubes has always had a wide market demand.

[0003] At present, most of the eddy current tube teaching only focuses on theoretical explanations, which are difficult for students to understand and affect the teaching efficiency. Moreover, most of the existing eddy current tubes are of an integral metal structure, which is difficult to be directly applied to teaching, and it is impossible to simply and intuitively display the generation of eddy currents inside the eddy current tube and the change of the temperature gradient of the compressed air inside, etc., nor can it meet the purpose of low-cost and intuitive teaching. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an eddy current teaching device to solve the problem that the eddy current tube in the prior art cannot be applied to teaching and is not convenient for intuitive display.

Those skilled in the art can understand the advantages and effects of the utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. It should be noted that the drawings provided in the following embodiments are only for illustrative purposes, showing only schematic diagrams, not physical diagrams, and should not be construed as a limitation to the utility model.

[0019] In the figures of the embodiments of the present utility model, the same or similar reference numerals correspond to the same or similar components. In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that if there are terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "rear", etc. indicating the orientation or positional relationship, they are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the figures. This is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the terms describing the positional relationship in the figures are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0020] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, a vortex teaching device of the present utility model is provided. As Figure 1 shown, it includes a vortex tube shell 1. An air inlet 12 communicating with the vortex chamber 11 is opened on the side wall of the vortex tube shell 1. The air inlet direction of the air inlet 12 is tangent to the cylindrical surface of the vortex generator 111, which can better ensure the effect of vortex formation. As Figure 2 shown, a quick-connect joint 121 is threadedly connected to the air inlet 12, which is convenient for quickly connecting with an external compressed air source through the quick-connect joint 121, such as quickly plugging in a compressed air pipe.

[0021] As Figure 3 shown, a vortex chamber 11 is provided inside the vortex tube shell 1. One end of the vortex chamber 11 communicates with a hot flow tube 13, and the other end communicates with a cold flow tube 14. A vortex generator 111 is provided inside the vortex chamber 11. The vortex generator 111 is cylindrical and is provided with cold flow through holes 112. The vortex chamber 11 communicates with the cold flow tube 14 through the cold flow through holes 112. A conduit 131 is concentrically arranged inside the hot flow tube 13. The conduit 131 is fixedly connected to the hot flow tube 13 through a bracket. The vortex tube shell 1 is composed of two half shells. One half shell is made of a transparent material, and the inner walls of the vortex chamber 11, the hot flow tube 13, the cold flow tube 14, and the outer wall of the conduit 131 of the other half shell are all coated with a thermosensitive coating. The thermosensitive coating has reversibility and can intuitively indicate color changes repeatedly. The two half shells can be connected by gluing or other heat fusion forms to ensure the connection and sealing effect. A plurality of flexible strip-shaped pieces 132 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the hot flow tube 13 coated with the thermosensitive coating. The flexible strip-shaped pieces 132 are used to intuitively display the rotation posture of the fluid in the hot flow tube 13. The color change of the inner wall coated with the thermosensitive coating and the rotation posture of the flexible strip-shaped pieces with the fluid can be directly observed through one side of the transparent shell. Among them, the outer wall of the conduit 131 is used to display the temperature change of the inner layer fluid (lower temperature), and the inside of the conduit 131 serves as a return channel for the cold fluid.

[0022] As Figure 3As shown in the figure, the end of the heat flow tube 13 is threadedly connected with a conical regulating valve 15. The conical regulating valve 15 is cup-shaped. A conical plug 151 is provided at the bottom of the cup of the conical regulating valve 15. The conical plug 151 cannot fully extend into the heat flow tube 13 through two limit screws screwed in from the outside of the conical regulating valve 15, so as to limit the minimum outflow rate of the hot fluid. By rotating the conical regulating valve 15, the outflow rate of the hot fluid can be changed by the distance that the conical plug 151 extends into the heat flow tube 13. A number of through holes 152 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the conical plug 151 at the bottom of the cup. The end of the cold flow tube 14 is connected with a reducing pipe 16. As Figure 3 shown, the inner diameter of the reducing pipe 16 gradually decreases from large to small, that is, a larger inner diameter pipe is connected to a smaller inner diameter pipe, and the smaller inner diameter pipe serves as the outlet of the cold fluid.

[0023] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows:

[0024] Compressed air enters the eddy current chamber 11 from the air inlet 12 and forms a free eddy current by rotating at a high speed along the circumferential direction of the eddy current generator 111. Due to the friction caused by the speed difference between the inner and outer layers, heat exchange occurs. The outer layer forms hot fluid, and the central layer forms cold fluid. The outer layer of hot fluid flows out along the through holes 152 of the heat flow tube 13 and the conical regulating valve 15. The inner layer of cold fluid flows out along the conduit 131, the cold through hole 112, the cold flow tube 14, and the reducing pipe 16 after colliding with the conical plug 151.

[0025] During this process, the thermosensitive coatings applied on the inner wall of the eddy current chamber 11, the inner wall of the heat flow tube 13, the inner wall of the cold flow tube 14, and the outside of the conduit 131 can intuitively display the temperature gradient change of the air entering the eddy current tube. The flexible strip 132 on the inner wall of the heat flow tube 13 also rotates and swings accordingly to intuitively display the rotation angle of the eddy current, etc. The structure of the present utility model is simple and the cost is low, and it can realize low-cost intuitive teaching.

[0026] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model and not to limit them. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present utility model can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solutions of the present utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model. The technologies, shapes, and structures not described in detail in the present utility model are all well-known technologies.
