Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of teaching aids, and in particular to a multifunctional teaching aid. Background Art

[0002] Life and death education usually includes lectures and experiential learning. "Entering the coffin" to experience the farewell ceremony (the experiencer enters the coffin or a similar environment to experience it personally) or the dying process has become an experiential teaching activity adopted in many regions, especially in Hong Kong and Macao, China, where similar experiential teaching activities are very common.

[0003] Currently, these experiential learning activities often utilize traditional coffins. For example, in 2011, the Hyowon Treatment Center in Seoul, South Korea, offered a "Death Experience" course using natural-colored wooden coffins. In 2018, the Rende Medical and Nursing Management College in Taiwan employed a black coffin embedded in the floor in its own death experience room. In 2020, the "Lying in the Coffin" death experience workshop in Hong Kong, China, hosted by body restorer Wu Guilin, also employed black wooden coffins. This suggests that the coffins currently used in life and death education experiential learning programs are mostly single-purpose and traditional in appearance.

[0004] Although the direct use of coffins as an experiential tool in life and death education classes can achieve the desired effect, it has drawbacks both objectively and subjectively. Specifically:

[0005] 1) Single function: Currently, coffins used in life and death education activities are almost all traditional in design, mainly custom cabinet-style coffins or purchased pre-made ones, which only serve the basic purpose of allowing participants to lie flat during the experience;

[0006] 2) Inconvenient to move: Currently, coffins used in life and death education are mostly placed in fixed areas, making them difficult to move. Furthermore, their overall mass makes them difficult to move.

[0007] 3) Poor aesthetics: Currently, most coffins used are dark rectangular, traditional in shape, and have nothing to do with beauty.

[0008] 4) Potentially low public acceptance: Traditional culture values ​​rebirth over death, and public education on life and death has always had to consider cultural acceptance, sometimes even encountering obstacles. Experiential learning, in particular, is more likely to generate fear and anxiety among the public.

[0009] Existing teaching aids, such as the teaching table disclosed in the invention patent with publication number CN 96923513 A and the multifunctional lecture table disclosed in the invention patent with publication number CN 96724180 B, are used for lectures and desk study, and cannot meet the experiential learning needs of life and death education.

[0010] In order to overcome the defects of the existing technology, this application specifically provides a multifunctional teaching aid that can meet the needs of life and death education experience learning, and at the same time has the advantages of being multifunctional, easy to move, easy for the public to accept, and overall beautiful. Utility Model Content

[0011] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a multifunctional teaching tool which is easy to move, multifunctional, highly accepted by the public and has an elegant appearance.

[0012] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: the present invention includes a plurality of cabinet bodies, a lying space is provided in the cabinet body, the upper end and the front end of the cabinet body are open, a panel is provided at the upper end of the cabinet body, the panel is hinged to the cabinet body, and a front flap is provided at the front end of the cabinet body, and the front flap is hinged to the cabinet body.

[0013] Furthermore, an intermediate plate is provided in the middle of the interior of the cabinet, the lying space is located above the intermediate plate, the storage space is located below the intermediate plate, and the lower end of the front flap is hinged to the front end of the intermediate plate.

[0014] Furthermore, a first magnet is provided at the upper end of the front flap, and a second magnet is provided in the cabinet body. After the front flap is flipped up, the first magnet and the second magnet are attracted to each other.

[0015] Furthermore, a light-transmitting groove is provided at the upper end of the front flap, and the light-transmitting groove cooperates with the lying space.

[0016] Furthermore, a square frame adapted to the lying space is provided at the lower end of the panel, and a fixing pin is movably provided on the front flap, and the fixing pin passes through the front flap and is adapted to the fixing hole provided on the square frame.

[0017] Furthermore, hidden casters are provided at the lower end of the cabinet.

[0018] Furthermore, a cushion is provided in the lying space, and a plurality of partitions are arranged in the storage space.

[0019] Furthermore, the panel is semicircular, and after the panel is flipped up, its rear end abuts against the rear end of the cabinet to form a support, and the angle formed by the panel and the cabinet when they abut against each other is an obtuse angle.

[0020] Furthermore, there are two cabinets, which are symmetrically arranged and spliced ​​together.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, in this embodiment, the utility model includes a cabinet body 1, which includes a left side panel, a right side panel and a rear side panel, and the left side panel, the right side panel and the rear side panel are fixedly connected, and a lying space 2 is provided in the cabinet body 1, that is, the space between the left side panel, the right side panel and the rear side panel; the upper end and the front end of the cabinet body 1 are open, and the upper end of the cabinet body 1 is provided with a panel 3 and the left end is provided with a front flap 4, the panel 3 is hinged to the rear side of the cabinet body 1, that is, hinged to the rear side panel, and the front flap 4 is hinged on the front side of the cabinet body 1, so the panel 3 and the front flap 4 are equivalent to the upper top panel and the front side panel; since the panel 3 and the front flap 4 are movably provided and are both provided by a hinge or a rotating shaft structure, they can be flipped freely, so that the lying space 2 can be connected to the outside world, which is convenient for users to enter when in use.

[0029] In this embodiment, an intermediate panel 5 is provided in the middle of the interior of the cabinet 1, and the intermediate panel 5 divides the interior space of the cabinet 1 into two, namely, a lying space 2 and a storage space 6. The lying space 2 is located above the intermediate panel 5, and the storage space 6 is located below the intermediate panel 5. The lower end of the front flap 4 is hinged to the front end of the intermediate panel 5, so that the lying space 2 can be closed by flipping up or lowering the front flap 4 to facilitate life and death education experience; and the front end of the storage space 6 is open, similar to an ordinary lecture desk, which is convenient for placing items.

[0030] In this embodiment, first magnets 7 are provided at the upper ends of the left and right ends of the inner side of the front flap 4, and second magnets 8 are provided at the left and right ends of the cabinet body 1, that is, second magnets 8 are provided on the inner sides of the left and right panels. When the front flap 4 is flipped up, the front flap 4 is in a vertical state, sealing the front end of the lying space 2. At this time, the first magnet 7 and the second magnet 8 are attracted and fixed. The cooperation between the second magnet 8 and the first magnet 7 can fix the front flap 4 so that the front flap 4 maintains the vertical state. After the panel 3 is flipped down, the lying space 2 becomes an independent space, allowing students lying flat in it to get a personal experience. The structure using two magnets is simple in structure, low in cost, and convenient and quick in operation.

[0031] In this embodiment, a light-transmitting slot 9 is formed at the upper end of the front flap 4, which cooperates with the reclining space 2. Through the light-transmitting slot 9, after the front flap 4 and the panel 3 are fixed, light can penetrate into the reclining space 2, thereby preventing students from experiencing unsafe conditions caused by claustrophobia and improving safety. In addition, the light-transmitting slot 9 also provides ventilation, allowing students to breathe smoothly.

[0032] In this embodiment, a square frame 10 is provided at the lower end of the panel 3, which is adapted to fit within the reclining space 2. A fixing pin 11 is movably provided on the front flap 4. The fixing pin 11 passes through the front flap 4 and fits into a fixing hole provided in the square frame 10. When the front flap 4 is flipped up and secured, and the panel 3 is flipped down, the square frame 10 is embedded in the upper end of the reclining space 2. Round holes are provided on the left and right ends of the front flap 4 for inserting the fixing pin 11. The fixing pin 11 passes through the round holes and is inserted into the fixing holes, thereby limiting the position of the panel 3 and keeping it fixed, thereby ensuring structural stability when used as a lecture table.

[0033] In this embodiment, the four corners of the lower end of the cabinet body 1 are provided with hidden casters. Through the hidden casters, the whole body can be easily pushed to move, thereby realizing space transfer and facilitating scene layout.

[0034] In this embodiment, a cushioning pad 12 is provided in the reclining space 2, and a plurality of partitions 13 are arranged in the storage space 6. The cushioning pad 12 in the reclining space 2 can make the reclining person more comfortable and enhance the user experience; the storage space 6 is divided into different storage compartments by the plurality of partitions 13, so that items can be placed in a classified manner.

[0035] In this embodiment, the panel 3 is semicircular. After the panel 3 is flipped up, its rear end abuts against the rear end of the cabinet 1 to form a support. The angle formed by the panel 3 and the cabinet 1 after abutting against each other is an obtuse angle, which allows the rear end of the cabinet 1 to bear the pressure after the noodles are flipped up, ensuring that the panel 3 can be stably supported when flipped up and will not fall forward, thereby ensuring safety during use. Example

[0036] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the number of the cabinets 1 is two, and the two cabinets 1 are symmetrically arranged and spliced ​​together. After splicing, the two cabinets 1 can form a large circular conference table, which is convenient for a large number of people to sit around and discuss issues.

[0037] The utility model can solve the following problems:

[0038] (1) Single function. Currently, the coffins used in life and death education and teaching activities are almost all of traditional shape, mainly customized cabinet-type coffins or purchased finished products. The utility model adopts a two-piece table design, with a cushioned simulated coffin space on each side, which can be used by learners to lie down and experience the "entering the coffin" ceremony. Unlike traditional coffins placed on the ground with a low table height, the utility model is 85 cm high. The two separate semi-circular tables can be used for group discussions or as podiums for teaching. There is also a storage space (i.e. storage space 6) under the "coffin" space (i.e. lying space 2) for easy storage of items. The two pieces of table are put together to form a round table, which can be used by groups to sit around for discussion and teaching;

[0039] (2) Inconvenient to move. Currently, most coffins used in life and death education are placed in fixed areas, making them inconvenient to move. The utility model is equipped with hidden pulleys at the bottom, which makes it easy to push and can be placed in different locations or teaching spaces as needed, making it more flexible to use.

[0040] (3) Poor aesthetics. Currently, most coffins are dark rectangular. The tabletop of this utility model uses light gray and white to create a Tai Chi pattern. The color is soft and the shape is smooth. It is rich in the traditional Chinese concept of yin and yang, which implies the interdependence of life and death. The entire table is no different from an ordinary round table. The functional partitions are hidden inside the two-piece table. The appearance is simple and elegant. The beautiful appearance of this utility model not only beautifies the teaching environment, but also optimizes the user's visual experience.

[0041] (4) Low potential public acceptance. Traditional culture has always been characterized by "rebirth and fear of death". Education on life and death to the public has always had to consider cultural acceptance, and sometimes even encounters obstacles. Especially experiential teaching is more likely to make the public feel fearful and nervous. The design of this utility model breaks through the image of a general coffin and appears in the image of a round table with soft colors and shapes, which can reduce the audience's fear. Placing it in a teaching place also reduces the sense of oppression in the space and can enhance public participation.

[0042] (5) Potential safety hazards. The interior of a traditional coffin is designed as a closed space, which may cause air to stagnate or cause the experiencer to feel claustrophobic. The utility model adopts a design with reserved gaps on the side, which simulates the effect of entering a coffin while ensuring ventilation and micro-light transmission, improving the safety level from both practical effects and the experiencer's visual experience.

[0043] The method of using the utility model is:

[0044] (1) Ordinary desks and lecture tables: using a cabinet 1, the panel 3 and the front flap 4 are fixed, and the storage space 6 is used to place items, and the user uses it alone;

[0045] (2) Conference table: using two cabinets 1, the panel 3 and the front flap 4 are fixed, the two cabinets 1 are symmetrically spliced, and multiple users sit around and use them together;

[0046] (3) Life and death experience education: one or two of the cabinets 1 are used, the panel 3 and the front flap 4 are opened, and after the trainees lie flat in the lying space 2, the panel 3 and the front flap 4 are reset and fixed to allow them to have a personal experience.

[0047] Although the embodiments of the present application are described with practical solutions, they do not limit the meaning of the present application. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious to modify the implementation scheme and combine it with other solutions based on this specification.
