[0035] Reference Figure 1-4 , introduces the simple pendulum exercise teaching aid according to this application.

[0036] The simple pendulum motion teaching tool according to this embodiment includes a frame 1, in which a simple pendulum mechanism and a counting mechanism are sequentially arranged from top to bottom, for accurately recording the number of vibrations of the simple pendulum during the simple pendulum motion;

[0037] The pendulum mechanism is connected to the frame 1 via a rotating shaft 2, allowing the pendulum mechanism to swing freely within a plane of the frame 1, thereby more realistically simulating the motion of a simple pendulum and improving the accuracy of the experiment. The pendulum mechanism includes a box body 3 and a stack 4 at least partially located within the box body 3. The box body 3 is provided with a pressing portion, and the length of the stack 4 extending out of the box body 3 can be adjusted by pressing the pressing portion, which is flexible and convenient to adapt to different teaching scenarios. A pendulum ball 5 is provided at the end of the stack 4 away from the box body 3 to meet experimental requirements, thereby achieving accurate and reliable experimental results.

[0038] The counting mechanism includes an optical coupler counter 6 and a lifting assembly. The optical coupler counter 6 is located below the pendulum ball 5. When the pendulum ball 5 passes by the optical coupler counter 6, it blocks the light, thereby triggering the counter to record once, avoiding counting errors and improving the accuracy of the experiment; the optical coupler counter 6 is connected to the frame 1 through a lifting assembly, which facilitates the adjustment of the height of the optical coupler counter 6 to accommodate pendulum balls 5 of different lengths.

[0039] As an embodiment, a rack 7 is provided in the box body 3, one end of the rack 7 is connected to the box body 3 through a spring 8, and the other end is clamped with the laminate 4 and the pressing part, so that the length of the laminate 4 extending out of the box body 3 can be easily adjusted by pressing the pressing part, thereby changing the length of the simple pendulum, and after adjusting the length of the laminate 4, the rack 7 can form a firm clamping connection with the laminate 4, ensuring that the length of the simple pendulum remains unchanged during the simple pendulum motion.

[0040] As an embodiment, the pressing portion includes a pressing strip 9 and a pressing block 10. The pressing blocks 10 are relatively arranged at both ends of the pressing strip 9. At least part of the pressing strip 9 is located inside the box body 3. The pressing block 10 located inside the box body 3 is engaged with the rack 7, which facilitates moving the rack 7 to a suitable position, thereby flexibly adjusting the length of the stack 4 extending out of the box body 3.

[0041] As an embodiment, a clamping member 11 is provided at one end of the laminate 4 away from the pendulum ball 5, and the laminate 4 is clamped to the rack 7 through the clamping member 11, which not only prevents the laminate 4 from completely escaping from the box body 3 during the adjustment process, but also forms a firm clamping connection between the rack 7 and the laminate 4 after the adjustment is completed, ensuring that the length of the simple pendulum remains unchanged during the simple pendulum motion.

[0042] As an embodiment, a through hole 12 is provided on the pressing strip 9, and at least a portion of the through hole 12 is located in the box body 3. The laminate 4 passes through the through hole 12 to adapt to the structure of the laminate 4. When the length of the laminate 4 is not adjusted, a tight connection is formed between the laminate 4 and the box body 3, further ensuring the stability of the length of the laminate 4. When the length of the laminate 4 is adjusted, the laminate 4 can move up and down in the through hole 12.

[0043] As an implementation method, the laminate 4 is formed by overlapping several rectangular metal sheets to prevent the laminate 4 from deforming during the simple pendulum motion, ensure that the simple pendulum always swings freely in one plane, and facilitate the selection of laminates 4 of appropriate thickness to adapt to different teaching scenarios.

[0044] In the present invention, the number of metal sheets is more than two, and the thickness of the overlapping laminate 4 is less than its width. The material of the metal sheet can be at least one of aluminum, copper, and alloy. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the number and material of the metal sheets, and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0045] As an implementation method, the lifting assembly includes a cylinder and a buffer portion, and the cylinder is relatively arranged on both sides of the buffer portion to facilitate driving the optical coupler counter 6 to stably rise and fall.

[0046] As an embodiment, the cylinder includes a cylinder body 13 and a telescopic rod 14, the telescopic rod 14 is movably arranged inside the cylinder body 13, the end of the cylinder body 13 away from the telescopic rod 14 is connected to the frame 1, and the end of the telescopic rod 14 away from the cylinder body 13 is connected to the optocoupler counter 6, which is used to drive the optocoupler counter 6 to rise and fall in the frame 1 to adapt to the height of the pendulum ball 5.

[0047] As an embodiment, the buffer portion includes a fixed rod 15 and a sleeve 16, the sleeve 16 is movably mounted on the outer periphery of the fixed rod 15, the inner top wall of the sleeve 16 is connected to a spring 8, the end of the spring 8 away from the sleeve 16 is connected to the fixed rod 15, the end of the sleeve 16 away from the fixed rod 15 is connected to the optocoupler counter 6, and the end of the fixed rod 15 away from the sleeve 16 is connected to the frame 1, so as to provide elastic support for the optocoupler counter 6, effectively absorb and disperse the impact and vibration generated during the rising and falling process, and protect the optocoupler counter 6 and the frame 1 from damage.

[0048] In the present invention, an operation panel 18 is provided on the outside of the optocoupler counter 6 to facilitate display of information such as time and count as well as user operation.

[0049] The optocoupler counter 6 includes a transmitter, a receiver and a counter. During the transmission process, the infrared light beam emitted by the transmitter will block part or all of the light when the pendulum ball 5 passes by. The receiver converts the received light into a corresponding electrical signal according to the change in the received light and transmits it to the counter. After receiving the signal, the counter counts according to the set counting rules and feeds back the counting result to the operation panel 18.

[0050] The optocoupler counter 6 also includes a time control module and an alarm module. The time control module is used to set the counting time. When the counter is started, the time control module starts timing. Within the set counting time (for example, 1 minute), the counter receives all electrical signals transmitted by the receiver. When the set counting time (for example, 1 minute) is reached, the counter stops receiving the electrical signals transmitted by the receiver and triggers the alarm module to send an electrical signal (for example, a beep, a flashing indicator light, etc.) to notify the user that the counting time has expired.

[0051] As an embodiment, an elastic pad 17 is provided on the fixing rod 15 near the outer periphery of the frame 1 so as to limit the maximum descending stroke of the sleeve 16 and prevent it from excessively moving downward and causing damage to the device.

[0052] In the present invention, the material of the elastic pad 17 can be at least one of rubber, silicone, polyurethane, and soft plastic. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the material of the elastic pad 17 and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0053] During use, first adjust the length of the laminate 4 extending out of the box body 3, press the pressing block 10, the rack 7 compresses the spring 8, and the clamping piece 11 separates from the rack 7. At this time, move the laminate 4 up and down to make it extend out of the box body 3 to an appropriate length, then release the pressing block 10, the spring 8 drives the rack 7 to return to its initial position, and the clamping piece 11 is clamped with the rack 7 again. During the whole process, the pressing block 10 and the rack 7 located in the box body 3 are always in a clamped state; then adjust the length of the telescopic rod 14 extending out of the cylinder body 13, and drive the sleeve 16 to move until the pendulum ball 5 can always block the light of the optical coupler counter 6 during the swinging process. After completion, the simple pendulum motion experiment can be carried out.

[0054] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. Similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to in conjunction with each other. Each embodiment focuses on the differences between the other embodiments. In particular, the system embodiments are generally similar to the method embodiments, so the description is relatively simple. For relevant parts, refer to the description of the method embodiments.

[0055] The foregoing is merely an embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various changes and variations. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should all be included within the scope of the claims of the present application.
