[0023] In the figure, 100 is a bracket, 101 is a first fixed end, 102 is a second fixed end, 201 is a transmitting end, 202 is a receiving end, 301 is an audio transmission line, and 302 is a power line. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] 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 part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] As an embodiment of the present invention, a photoelectric gate device is provided, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a transmitting and receiving component, a data transmission component, a power supply component and a supporting component.
[0026] The transmitter-receiver assembly includes a transmitter 201 and a receiver 202. Transmitter 201 is a laser diode, and receiver 202 is a PN-type photodiode. The laser diode emits a laser beam when in operation. When the laser is blocked by an object, the photodiode senses the change in light intensity and outputs an electrical signal that changes in position.
[0027] The photogate uses a computer instead of a digital timer to collect and visualize data. The computer is equipped with simulation software such as a virtual oscilloscope to collect the pulse signals generated by the photogate. This allows each pulse to be displayed intuitively on the interface, along with the intervals between pulses displayed on a timeline.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the data transmission component includes an audio transmission line 301 connected to the receiving end 202. Audio transmission line 301 can be arranged along the bracket, bypassing the transmitting end 201 and connecting to the computer. The photodiode generates a varying voltage when the light changes. This varying voltage is directly connected to the computer sound card via audio transmission line 301. A virtual oscilloscope can display the changing waveform and extract relevant parameters. This photogate is directly integrated with the computer, using the sound card as the data acquisition device and the USB port as the power supply. It has high versatility and realizes visual image visualization of the electrical signal, which is highly intuitive.
[0029] The power supply component includes a USB power cord 401 connected to the transmitter. The power cord is connected to an external power source to ensure continuous and stable operation of the device. The external power source can be a computer connected to the audio transmission line 301.
[0030] The support assembly includes a bracket 100, a first fixed end 101, and a second fixed end 102. The first fixed end 101 and the second fixed end 102 are mounted on the bracket 100. The first fixed end 101 is fixedly connected to the transmitting end 201, and the second fixed end 102 is fixedly connected to the receiving end 202. This is the basic structure of the photogate, ensuring its stability and adjustability. The support assembly fixes the position of the transmitting end 201 and the receiving end 202, allowing the laser to directly enter the photosensitive tube for light sensing. The specific connection and fixing method is not limited.
[0031] As a preferred embodiment, to ensure the voltage resistance of the transmitting laser diode, the laser diode selected is model FU650AD5-C9BC9 or BD9, with an operating wavelength of 635nm and a DC voltage of 2.8-5.0V, or other types of light-emitting diodes. Power is supplied via a computer's USB port. A 5mm PN-type photodiode is used on the receiving end, forming a pair of transmitting and receiving devices with the laser diode, ensuring high sensitivity and accuracy when transmitting and receiving optical signals.
[0032] As a preferred embodiment, a virtual oscilloscope software is installed on the computer for visualizing the signals transmitted by the data transmission component. The computer software may be Audition software or other specially developed software.
[0033] As a preferred embodiment, the first fixed end 101 and the second fixed end 102 are movably connected to the bracket 100, so that the distance between the transmitting end 201 and the receiving end 202 can be flexibly adjusted as needed, thereby improving the flexibility of the photoelectric gate.
[0034] As a preferred embodiment, a circular ring is provided at the end of the bracket (100) for connecting and fixing the photoelectric gate to the experimental device.
[0035] As a preferred embodiment, the number of photoelectric gates installed using the experimental device of the present invention can be flexibly set as needed to meet different experimental requirements.
[0036] The photoelectric gate and experimental device based on a USB interface and a computer sound card proposed in this utility model can be used for experiments such as measuring gravity acceleration using a rotating liquid method, measuring the viscosity coefficient of a liquid using a falling ball method, measuring the moment of inertia of a rigid body using a three-wire pendulum method, and measuring velocity and acceleration using an air cushion guide rail. The device is easy to install and simple to use, which significantly improves the experimental efficiency.
[0037] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and such modifications or substitutions are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
