DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 , a small steamship model for teaching experiments in this embodiment includes a hull 1, and a power mechanism 2 is provided on the hull 1. It should be noted that the hull 1 is made of heat-resistant lightweight plastic structure, so that the hull 1 can float on the water surface, and then the power mechanism 2 is set to generate thrust to push the hull 1 to move to simulate a steamship for students to observe and learn.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the power mechanism 2 includes two power nozzles 201 fixed to the bottom surface of the hull 1. A spiral tube 202 is installed between the tops of the two power nozzles 201. An installation component 3 for fixing the spiral tube 202 is provided at the top of the power nozzle 201. The installation component 3 facilitates the disassembly of the spiral tube 202 and provides convenience for cleaning the carbon black on the outer peripheral wall of the spiral tube 202. An installation seat 203 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the hull 1, and a fixing component 4 for fixing the installation seat 203 is provided on the hull 1. The fixing component 4 enables the disassembly of the installation seat 203, providing convenience for the replacement and cleaning of the three-wick candle 204, further improving the practicality of the device. The top surface of the installation seat 203 is fixed with a three-wick candle 204, and the spiral tube 202 and the three-wick candle 204 are vertically opposite. The power nozzle 201 is an L-shaped thin-walled copper tube, and the spiral tube 202 is a spiral thin-walled copper tube. When in use, the three-wick candle 204 is lit, and the three-wick candle 204 generates three flames to heat the spiral tube 202. The strong fire makes the heating efficiency higher, effectively reducing the heating time. Both the power nozzle 201 and the spiral tube 202 are slender thin-walled copper tubes, which can effectively store more water. When the spiral tube 202 is heated, after a part of the hot water is ejected from one side of the power nozzle 201, a negative pressure is formed inside the spiral tube 202, which can make the water at the bottom of the hull 1 supplement and enter the inside of the spiral tube 202 from the other power nozzle 201. Since the fire intensity of heating has been enhanced, the cold water in the spiral tube 202 is quickly heated, ensuring that the hull 1 can continuously eject hot water to reduce pauses, so that the hull 1 can continuously move forward. A threaded groove 205 is opened on the top surface of the installation seat 203, and a wind shield 206 is threadedly connected in the threaded groove 205. A plurality of air inlet holes 207 are opened on the outer peripheral wall of the wind shield 206. When the three-wick candle 204 burns, the wind shield 206 is provided to protect the flame, preventing the flame from fluttering in the horizontal direction due to air flow and affecting the heating of the spiral tube 202. The air inlet holes 207 enable air to enter from the bottom of the wind shield 206 to maintain the burning of the three-wick candle 204.

[0026] The top end of the power nozzle 201 extends to the top of the hull 1. When spraying steam, the end of the power nozzle 201 away from the spiral tube 202 is immersed in water, so that the sprayed hot water and hot air will not splash on the bodies of the students observing around, effectively avoiding the occurrence of scalding, and the safety is better. The windshield 206 is an annular heat insulation cover. The windshield 206 and the three-core candle 204 are located on the same central axis. A plurality of air inlet holes 207 are close to the bottom of the windshield 206 and are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction thereof.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 4 , in this embodiment, the installation assembly 3 includes a circular bin 301 rotatably connected to the outer peripheral wall of the power nozzle 201. One end of the spiral tube 202 close to the power nozzle 201 is fixed with a connection ring 302 threadedly connected to the circular bin 301. Thread grooves 306 that are mutually adapted are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the connection ring 302 and the inner peripheral wall of the circular bin 301. When it is necessary to disassemble the spiral tube 202 to clean the carbon black on its peripheral wall, rotate the circular bin 301 so that the thread groove 306 on the circular bin 301 is disengaged from the thread groove 306 on the connection ring 302, and then the spiral tube 202 can be disassembled. A sealing ring 303 is fixed to the top end of the power nozzle 201, and a sealing gasket 304 is fixed to the top surface of the sealing ring 303. The sealing gasket 304 is an annular rubber gasket. After the carbon black on the outer wall of the spiral tube 202 is cleaned, abut the connection ring 302 against the sealing ring 303, and then rotate the circular bin 301 to threadedly connect it with the connection ring 302 by means of the mating thread grooves 306, and make the connection ring 302 press the sealing gasket 304.

[0028] The top surface of the circular bin 301 is open, and a circular hole 305 through which the power nozzle 201 passes is provided on the bottom surface of the circular bin 301. The circular hole 305 enables the circular bin 301 to rotate relative to the power nozzle 201, and at the same time, the sealing ring 303 can be provided to prevent the circular bin 301 from falling off, which may cause inconvenience.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 5In this embodiment, the fixing assembly 4 includes two limit plates 401 which are distributed up and down and fixed on the side of the two power nozzles 201 facing the mounting seat 203. Two annular grooves 402 are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the mounting seat 203. Two elastic limit ropes 403 are fixed between the front and rear inner walls of the hull 1. The two annular grooves 402 and the two elastic limit ropes 403 are distributed up and down. The limit plate 401 is clamped in the annular groove 402 and is located on the left side of the mounting seat 203. The elastic limit rope 403 is clamped in the annular groove 402 and is located on the right side of the mounting seat 203. When the three-core candle 204 needs to be cleaned and replaced, the elastic limit rope 403 is clamped in the annular groove 402 and is located on the right side of the mounting seat 203. The limiting rope 403 is pulled to the right to disengage it from the annular groove 402 on the mounting seat 203, and the mounting seat 203 is further moved to the right to make the limiting plate 401 disengage from the annular groove 402. At this time, the mounting seat 203 can be removed from the hull 1. Further, the wind shield 206 is rotated to disengage it from the threaded groove 205 on the mounting seat 203. At this time, the three-wick candle 204 can be replaced and cleaned. After cleaning, the above operation is reversed and the mounting seat 203 is fixed by the fixing component 4 to prevent the mounting seat 203 from moving when the hull 1 is traveling, causing the three-wick candle 204 to be offset and unable to heat the spiral tube 202.

[0030] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0031] (1) When in use, the three-wick candle 204 is lit, and the three-wick candle 204 generates three flames to heat the spiral tube 202. The strong firepower makes the heating efficiency higher and effectively reduces the heating time. The power nozzle 201 and the spiral tube 202 are both slender thin-walled copper tubes that can effectively store more water. When the spiral tube 202 is heated, after the power nozzle 201 on one side sprays out a part of hot water, a negative pressure is formed in the spiral tube 202, which can allow the water at the bottom of the hull 1 to be replenished from the other power nozzle 201 into the spiral tube 202. Since the intensity of the heating firepower has been enhanced, the cold water in the spiral tube 202 is quickly heated, ensuring that the hull 1 can continue to spray hot water to reduce pauses, so that the hull 1 can continue to move forward. When the three-wick candle 204 is burning, the windshield 206 is provided to protect the flame to prevent the airflow from causing the flame to float in the horizontal direction and affect the heating of the spiral tube 202. The air inlet 207 allows air to enter from the bottom of the windshield 206 to maintain the burning of the three-wick candle 204;

[0032] (2) When it is necessary to disassemble the spiral tube 202 to clean the carbon black on its peripheral wall, rotate the circular bin 301 so that the spiral groove 306 on the circular bin 301 is disengaged from the spiral groove 306 on the connecting ring 302, then the spiral tube 202 can be disassembled. After the cleaning is completed, abut the connecting ring 302 against the sealing ring 303, and then rotate the circular bin 301 to threadedly connect it with the connecting ring 302 by means of the mating spiral grooves 306, and make the connecting ring 302 and the sealing ring 303 press the gasket 304;

[0033] (3) When it is necessary to clean and replace the three-core candle 204, pull the elastic limiting rope 403 to the right to disengage it from the annular groove 402 on the mounting seat 203, and further move the mounting seat 203 to the right so that the limiting plate 401 disengages from the annular groove 402. At this time, the mounting seat 203 can be removed from the hull 1. Further, rotate the windshield 206 to disengage it from the threaded groove 205 on the mounting seat 203. At this time, the three-core candle 204 can be replaced and cleaned. After the cleaning is completed, reverse the above operations and fix the mounting seat 203 through the fixing assembly 4 to prevent the mounting seat 203 from moving during the navigation of the hull 1, which may cause the three-core candle 204 to shift and fail to heat the spiral tube 202.

[0034] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "including a..." does not exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the said element.

[0035] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
