[0048] A board-level current display digital tube 6 is connected to the STM32F103VET6 single-chip computer main control board 1 and is used to display the board-level current;

[0049] A gas type display screen 12 is connected to the STM32F103VET6 single-chip microcomputer main control board 1 and is used to display the gas type used in the experiment;

[0050] A voltage regulating encoder 11 is connected to the STM32F103VET6 single-chip microcomputer main control board 1 and is used to adjust and set voltage parameters;

[0051] The gas type selection encoder 13 is connected to the STM32F103VET6 single-chip microcomputer main control board 1 and is used to select the gas type used;

[0052] USB power output interface 15, which is connected to the STM32F103VET6 single-chip computer main control board 1 and is used to power the device and connect to the computer;

[0053] The oscilloscope display panel 16 has an internal interface connected to the STM32F103VET6 single-chip computer main control board 1 and an external power supply interface connected to an external power supply for power supply;

[0054] The oscilloscope output interface 17 can be connected to an external oscilloscope to output experimental data.

[0055] Specifically, the STM32F103VET6 single-chip microcomputer main control board 1 is used as the main control chip, which is equipped with a 32-bit ARMCortex-M3 core. The control chip has built-in multiple general-purpose timers, serial communication interfaces UART, SPI, I2C, analog input and output ADC, DAC and other peripherals, which can well meet the needs of adjusting the input parameters of the new experimental instrument and converting digital signals into analog signals for display on the oscilloscope.

The microcontroller also supports multiple communication protocols, including SPI, I2C, USART, etc., which can meet the needs of the new experimental instrument for communication with the host computer and data transmission of the W25Q64 chip;

[0056] See also Figure 2,STM32F103VET6 single-chip microcomputer main control board 1 has a total of 64 pins, divided into PA, PB, PC, PD, each group of 16 pins, and the I / O port has multiple functions, which can be used as external interrupts, timers / counters, etc.;

[0057] Specifically, the PA4 and PA5 pins have a DAC multiplexing function that can convert digital signals into analog signals. In the present invention, the PA4 and PA5 pins are connected to the corresponding wiring of the oscilloscope display panel 16 and the oscilloscope output interface 17 respectively. Both the PA4 and PA5 pins are used as DAC outputs. The oscilloscope display panel 16 is a small oscilloscope that can directly convert data into waveform output. The oscilloscope output interface 17 can be connected to an external oscilloscope to display data.

[0058] The filament voltage display digital tube 2, VG1K display digital tube 3, VG2A display digital tube 4, VG2K display digital tube 5, and board-level current display digital tube 6 are all digital tubes driven by 74HC595 chips, and each digit is driven by a 74HC595 chip separately;

[0059] Specifically, the filament voltage display digital tube 2, the VG1K display digital tube 3, and the VG2A display digital tube 4 are all identical 3-digit digital tubes, and the board-level current display digital tube 6 is a 4-digit digital tube. The chips used in these digital tubes are all 74HC595, which are controlled by the STM32F103VET6 microcontroller. The characteristic is that they only need to occupy three IO ports of the microcontroller to drive, and scanning and display do not require the intervention of the microcontroller, only needing to read and write related registers and send display data;

[0060] The filament voltage key module 7, VG1K key module 8, VG2A key module 9, and VG2K key module 10 are all independent key modules that can directly use the corresponding pins of the microcontroller. When connecting, one end is directly connected to the ground, and the other end is directly connected to the IO port of the microcontroller to be controlled. When the key is pressed, the microcontroller will instantly change from a low level to a high level to achieve different functions;

[0061] W25Q64-FLASH chip 14 module see Figure 3 The W25Q64-FLASH is a flash memory chip that uses non-volatile memory technology. It consists of several memory cells, each of which can store a binary bit, 0 or 1. Data is stored in pages, with each page containing several bytes. When reading, the chip reads data page by page. Erase and write operations are performed in sectors, first erasing the entire sector, and then writing new data. This storage principle enables high-speed and reliable data storage.

[0062] In this embodiment, the voltage regulating encoder 11 can be pressed to reset and restart the entire device.

[0063] In this embodiment, the gas type selection encoder 13 is rotated to change the gas displayed on the gas type display screen 12 and changes the gas type data selected by the STM32F103VET6 single chip microcomputer main control board 1 .

[0064] In this embodiment, the comprehensive experimental instrument changes the gas type selected in the experiment by rotating the gas type selection encoder 13 to perform experiments with different gases, thereby enabling a single instrument to complete Franck-Hertz experiments on multiple gases.

[0065] In this embodiment, the USB power output interface 15 in the comprehensive experimental instrument is connected to a computer terminal, and the experimental images and experimental data are displayed in real time through the host computer software.

[0066] The voltage adjustment encoder 11 and the gas type selection encoder 13 are both Figure 4 The EC11 encoder module shown;

[0067] Specifically, the EC11 encoder module is connected to the IO port of the microcontroller with a timer function, where Figure 4 S1 and S2 in the figure are connected to channel 1 and channel 2 of the timer respectively. The phase difference between S1 and S2 is obtained by rotating the rotary encoder, and then counting is performed. The rotation direction is also obtained by the different phase differences between forward and reverse rotation.

[0068] Working steps and principle: Before the experiment, press the voltage adjustment encoder to reset, then rotate the gas type selection encoder to select the gas to be used in the experiment. Next, press the filament voltage button and rotate the filament voltage adjustment encoder to adjust the filament voltage parameter, which is displayed on the corresponding digital tube. Press the VG1K button and rotate the VG1K voltage adjustment encoder to adjust the VG1K parameter, which is displayed on the corresponding digital tube. Press the VG2A button and rotate the VG2A voltage adjustment encoder to adjust the VG2A parameter, which is displayed on the corresponding digital tube. Finally, press the VG2K button and rotate the VG2K voltage adjustment encoder to adjust the VG2K parameter, which is displayed on the corresponding digital tube. After that, you can observe the changes in the data on the "board current" display digital tube and the waveform changes on the oscilloscope display panel. In addition, the USB power input port can be connected to a computer, and the data and relationship curve of the second gate voltage and board current can be displayed in the computer-designed software.

[0069] This innovative Franck-Hertz integrated experimental instrument combines virtual and real-world features: after each experiment, the voltage adjustment encoder can be pressed again to reset the instrument, and the gas type selection encoder can be rotated to select the gas for the next experiment. The instrument is simple to use, and the experimental procedures are similar to those of commercially available Franck-Hertz instruments. Secondary grid voltage and plate-level current data can be processed by host computer software, with real-time display of the data and relationship curves.

[0070] The utility model can be used as a teaching instrument for physics experiments in colleges, universities, technical secondary schools and high schools, and is used to study the relationship between the second grid voltage and the plate current when the gas discharge tube is filled with different gases, as well as the waveform display of the oscilloscope.
