Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electromagnetic teaching aids, in particular to an omnidirectional magnetic needle demonstrator. Background Art

[0002] Oersted's experiment demonstrates the existence of a magnetic field around a current-carrying conductor. The steps are as follows: First, a small magnetic needle is left at rest. Because it is affected by the Earth's magnetic field, it points north and south. Second, an electric current is passed directly above and parallel to the needle. This causes the needle to rotate, proving the presence of a magnetic field around the current. Third, the direction of the current is changed, and the direction of the needle's rotation also changes, demonstrating that the direction of the current affects the direction of the magnetic field.

[0003] Traditional experiments use a small magnetic needle, which only works in the horizontal plane, making its display of magnetic fields very limited. In a real magnetic field environment, the direction of the magnetic field is three-dimensional, with multiple directional components. For example, around a current-carrying solenoid, the magnetic field has not only a horizontal component but also a vertical component. By relying solely on the horizontal direction of the small magnetic needle, students struggle to understand the true distribution of the magnetic field in space. For example, magnetic field lines can be spirals around a current-carrying conductor. This one-sided presentation hinders students from building a complete conceptual framework for magnetic fields.

[0008] As a further improvement, the rotating support body is rotationally connected to the base bracket, and the top of the base bracket is provided with a cylindrical blind hole or a similar hole structure capable of fixing the rotating support body.

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] The utility model discloses an omnidirectional magnetic needle demonstrator, which comprises a base bracket and a rotatable magnetic structure arranged on the base bracket. The magnetic structure comprises a rotating bracket and a magnetic needle arranged on the rotating bracket. The magnetic needle on the rotating bracket can rotate in a vertical direction. A rotating support body is provided at the bottom of the rotating bracket, and the rotating support body can rotate in a horizontal direction.

[0022] See also Figure 1 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. A plastic disc-shaped base is provided at the bottom of the base bracket, and a support rod is provided at the top of the base bracket. A rotating support body is connected to the support rod. The rotating support body is a hollow aluminum tube structure, and the support rod is a needle-shaped structure made of aluminum or copper with a diameter of 1-5 mm, such as a non-magnetic steel, aluminum or copper nail or plastic nail. The top of the support rod is preferably a pointed, conical or semicircular structure with low rotational resistance, which facilitates the rotation of the rotating support body. The rotating support body is plugged into the support rod, and when the magnetic structure is subjected to a tangential force in the horizontal direction, the magnetic structure can rotate.

[0023] See also Figure 3 , a rotating bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating support body, the rotating bracket is made of aluminum or plastic, and the rotating bracket is a U-shaped structure as shown in the figure or a similar structure. The rotating bracket is provided with a magnetic needle or a magnetic tube structure with conical ends, and the magnetic needle is connected to the rotating rod provided on the rotating bracket.

[0024] Furthermore, the magnetic needle is fixedly connected to the rotating rod, and the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the rotating bracket. Another structural solution is that the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the rotating bracket, and the magnetic needle is rotatably connected to the rotating rod.

[0025] See also Figure 2 The present invention also provides another rotating support structure, namely, a cylindrical structure with a diameter of 1-5 mm and a conical bottom made of non-magnetic steel, aluminum, copper, or plastic. The rotating support is directly inserted into a blind hole in the base bracket and can rotate vertically with the base bracket. Preferably, the blind hole can also be replaced with an external sleeve structure.

[0026] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 The present invention also provides a third type of rotating support structure. The rotating support is a hollow tubular structure with a non-magnetic metal needle disposed within it. The base bracket is provided with a sleeve. The inner aperture of the sleeve rotates in conjunction with the non-magnetic metal needle. The non-magnetic metal needle is shorter than the rotating support. This structure has lower rotational resistance and is more secure, preventing students from being pricked by the needle during experiments.

[0027] In order to avoid affecting the sensitivity of the magnetic needle, the rotating bracket, the rotating rod, the rotating support body and the base bracket are all made of non-magnetic materials or plastic materials.

[0028] How to use: See Figure 1 or Figure 2 After the demonstration equipment is fixed, hold a straight wire with current (not shown in the figure), bring it close to the magnetic needle, and change the direction of the straight wire. According to Oersted's theorem, it can be found that the magnetic needle and the straight wire will always be perpendicular, and as the position of the straight wire changes, the magnetic needle and the magnetic structure will also rotate synchronously accordingly. The magnetic needle can flexibly point to any direction and can flexibly display the direction of the magnetic field in any direction, so as to better observe and understand the changes in the magnetic field in Oersted's experiment.

[0029] The one or more embodiments of this specification are intended to cover all such substitutions, modifications, and variations that fall within the broad scope of the appended claims. Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of one or more embodiments of this specification shall be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
