Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of teaching experiments and relates to an experimental device for measuring atmospheric pressure. Background Art
[0002] Currently, in the teaching of physics courses, the experiment for measuring atmospheric pressure usually adopts the following several methods.
[0003] The first method is to measure the atmospheric pressure with a suction cup. The specific means are as follows: Press the suction cup onto the glass plate and exhaust the air in the suction cup as much as possible; Hang the dynamometer on the suction cup hook and use the spring dynamometer to vertically pull the suction cup upward. When the suction cup detaches from the glass plate, record the dynamometer reading. This reading is the pressure of the atmosphere on the suction cup; Measure the unfolded area of the suction cup to obtain the force-bearing area; Use the formula P = F / S to calculate the value of atmospheric pressure.
[0004] In this method, the pressure of the atmosphere on the suction cup is displayed by the reading of the dynamometer after being pulled by a person. The observable range of the experiment is small, and the atmospheric pressure is not directly displayed, resulting in poor intuitiveness; The force-applying object of the dynamometer is a person rather than the atmosphere, which brings confusion to students' understanding; It is difficult to exhaust all the air in the suction cup, and there are relatively large errors in the experiment.
[0005] The second method is the experiment for measuring atmospheric pressure with a syringe. The specific means are as follows: As shown in Figure 1 Draw in a small amount of water with the syringe, push the piston upward with the needle opening facing up to discharge the excess water, and block the injection hole with a stopper; Connect the hook of the dynamometer and the tail of the syringe piston with a thin line; Pull the piston with the dynamometer, and when the piston is pulled, read the dynamometer reading to obtain the atmospheric pressure; Measure the length of the graduated part of the syringe with a ruler, and calculate the cross-sectional area of the piston, which is the force-bearing area; Use the formula P = F / S to calculate the value of atmospheric pressure.
[0006] In this method, the experiment requires that "when the piston starts to move, record the dynamometer reading, which is the atmospheric pressure". However, in actual operation, if the piston is continuously pulled, the dynamometer reading will continue to increase within a certain range. Therefore, the dynamometer reading when the piston just starts to move often does not equal the atmospheric pressure; The force-bearing area of the syringe piston used is small, so the atmospheric pressure is also small, but the friction between the piston and the syringe barrel is relatively large. Therefore, the error is relatively large; The observable range of the experiment is small, and the atmospheric pressure is not directly displayed, resulting in poor intuitiveness; The pressure of the atmosphere on the piston is displayed by the reading of the dynamometer after being pulled by a person, but the force-applying object of the dynamometer is a person rather than the atmosphere, which brings confusion to students' understanding. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In order to overcome the deficiencies existing in the prior art, the present utility model proposes an experimental device for measuring atmospheric pressure. The force - applying object for measuring force changes from a human to the atmosphere, enabling students to intuitively understand the experimental process. Static readings are adopted, with accurate readings and an intuitive experimental process.
[0008] For this purpose, the technical solution of the present utility model is as follows: An experimental device for measuring atmospheric pressure, comprising a cylinder body and a piston. The piston is hermetically placed in the cylinder body, and is characterized in that:

The atmospheric pressure value and the atmospheric pressure intensity value are correspondingly marked on the upper and lower sides of the scale lines. The end face of the piston on the side of the manual switch valve corresponds to the zero scale position of the scale line, and the piston also serves as the scale pointer of the force - measuring spring.
[0011] Furthermore, the force - measuring spring connecting device includes a connecting seat, a pull rod, and an adjusting nut. One end of the connecting seat is provided with a threaded connection head. A guiding hole runs through the connecting seat. The pull rod passes through the guiding hole. The adjusting nut is threadedly connected to the tail end of the pull rod, and the adjusting nut contacts the end face of the connecting seat.

The connecting seat is threadedly connected to the cylinder body through the threaded connection head; with this structure, the force - measuring spring can be adjusted through the adjusting nut and the pull rod, driving the piston to be adjusted to the zero scale position of the scale line.
[0012] Furthermore, the piston includes a piston body and a sealing ring. The sealing ring is elastically sleeved on the head of the piston body. A second connection hole is provided at the tail of the piston body. The two ends of the force - measuring spring are respectively hooked on the first connection hole of the pull rod and the second connection hole of the piston body; this structural arrangement is simple and easy to implement.
[0013] Furthermore, the cylinder body is made of a transparent material, so that the movement process of the piston in the cylinder body and the telescopic process of the force - measuring spring can be visually observed, and the experimental process can be demonstrated more intuitively.
[0014] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided between the manual switch valve and the cylinder body, and this setting can further ensure the air - tightness effect of the connection.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: When using the present utility model for the experiment, open the manual switch valve, connect the air extractor with a hose, use the air extractor to extract the air in the cylinder body, and then close the manual switch valve. The atmospheric pressure value and the corresponding atmospheric pressure intensity can be directly read through the scale line; in the present utility model, the force - applying object for measuring force changes from a human to the atmosphere, enabling students to intuitively understand the experimental process. Static readings are adopted, with accurate readings and an intuitive experimental process. Description of the Drawings
