Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of demonstration models and relates to a model for displaying plant leaf arrangement changes. Background Art
[0002] In the teaching process of botany, phyllotaxy, as an important feature that describes the arrangement of leaves on the stem, is of vital importance for understanding and analyzing the growth habits and morphological structure of plants. However, traditional phyllotaxy teaching methods often rely on text descriptions and static pictures, lacking intuitiveness and interactivity, making it difficult for students to understand and remember phyllotaxy. Although there are some teaching aids that simulate plant growth, the existing teaching aids cannot intuitively display the dynamic changes in phyllotaxy. In addition, plant photosynthesis and its relationship with phyllotaxy are also important contents in botany teaching, but existing teaching aids often ignore this point. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model provides a leaf arrangement transformation model to solve the problems in existing botanical teaching aids that it is difficult to intuitively display the dynamic transformation process of leaf arrangement and cannot effectively display the relationship between leaf arrangement and light.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: it includes a base with a support rod, the support rod is provided with multiple rings, and the multiple rings can be rotatably stacked on the support rod, and the rings are provided with leaves, and the leaves are detachably pasted on the rings. By pasting different numbers of the leaves at relative positions of the multiple rings, different leaf arrangement types are displayed, and the surface of the leaves is coated with photosensitive color-changing paint, so that the part of the leaves illuminated by the ultraviolet light will change color, effectively showing the relationship between the leaf arrangement and the light, and by rotating the ring located below, the leaves below that are not illuminated by the ultraviolet light are displayed, verifying the influence of the growth pattern of the leaves on the reception of light.
[0005] In the above technical solution, a more specific technical solution may also be: the ring is an iron ring, the leaves are provided with magnets, and the leaves are adsorbed on the ring through the magnets.
[0006] Furthermore: the outer wall of the ring is provided with a nano-traceless double-sided adhesive tape, so that the leaves are more firmly adhered to the ring.
[0007] Furthermore: a rubber ring is provided on the inner wall of the ring to increase the friction between the ring and the support rod.
[0008] Furthermore: the support rod and the base are hinged via a universal joint, so that the support rod can simulate the angle of inclined growth of plant branches.
[0009] Furthermore: a limiting bolt is provided at the top end of the support rod to prevent the ring from falling off the support rod.
[0010] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages over existing technologies: by affixing different numbers of leaves to the relative positions of multiple circular rings, a visual display and dynamic transformation of phyllotaxis are achieved, enhancing students' learning effectiveness and interest. The photochromic paint applied to the leaf surface changes color under ultraviolet light, visually demonstrating the illuminated portion of the leaf and helping students understand the relationship between phyllotaxis and light. The invention has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and use, and is suitable for a variety of teaching environments and occasions. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

In this example, the leaves 4 are green and are detachably pasted on the circular rings 3. Different numbers of leaves 4 are pasted at relative positions of the plurality of circular rings 3 to display different phyllotaxis types. The surface of the leaves 4 is coated with photochromic paint so that the part of the leaves 4 illuminated by the ultraviolet light will change color, effectively showing the relationship between the phyllotaxis and the light. By rotating the circular ring 3 located below, the leaves 4 below that are not illuminated by the ultraviolet light are displayed, verifying the influence of the leaf growth mode on the reception of light. The circular ring 3 is an iron circular ring 3, and the leaves 4 are provided with magnets 41, which are used to adsorb the leaves 4 on the circular ring 3. The outer wall of the circular ring 3 is provided with nano-traceless double-sided tape 31, so that the leaves 4 are more firmly bonded to the circular ring 3. The inner wall of the circular ring 3 is provided with a rubber ring 32 to increase the friction between the circular ring 3 and the support rod 2.
[0018] When teaching the relationship between opposite leaf arrangement and light, put multiple rings 3 on the support rod 2, and then symmetrically stick two leaves 4 on each ring 3. Rotate the rings 3 to make the leaves 4 block each other. Place them under a UV light for a period of time, and then turn off the UV light. The leaves 4 on the upper side will turn from green to purple-black, while the leaves 4 blocked below will remain green. Students can intuitively understand the relationship between opposite leaf arrangement and light.
[0019] When teaching the relationship between alternate leaf arrangement and light, put multiple rings 3 on the support rod 2, and then stick a leaf 4 on the corresponding position of each ring 3. Rotate the ring 3 to make the leaves 4 block each other alternately. Place it under a UV light for a period of time, and then turn off the UV light. The leaves 4 on the top will change from green to purple-black, while some parts of the leaves 4 blocked below will remain green and some parts will turn purple-black. Students can intuitively understand the relationship between opposite leaf arrangement and light.
