[0021] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0022] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways than those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0023] like Figure 1-4As shown, a model device for demonstrating the structure of the earth includes a sphere 17. The sphere 17 is divided from the outside to the inside into an outer layer 5 for representing the crust, an interlayer 8 for representing the mantle, and a central layer 7 for representing the core. In actual use, corresponding protrusions (not shown in this scheme) can be made on the surfaces of the central layer 7, the interlayer 8, and the outer layer 5 according to the known shapes of the core, mantle, and crust surfaces to increase intuitiveness. The outer layer 5, the interlayer 8, and the central layer 7 are equally divided into two halves, which can be easily displayed by overcoming the tension of the spring rod 16. The cross-sectional shape of the earth is shown to students by separating the two halves. The two halves of the outer layer 5, the interlayer 8 and the central layer 7 are connected with embedded spring rods 16. Under normal circumstances, the elastic contraction of the spring rods 16 makes the model a complete spherical shape. There are two symmetrical spring rods 16 between the two halves of the outer layer 5, the interlayer 8 and the central layer 7. The end face of the spring rod 16 cylinder is fixed to one half of the outer layer 5, the interlayer 8 and the central layer 7, and the telescopic end is fixed to the other half of the outer layer 5, the interlayer 8 and the central layer 7; the centers of the opposite surfaces of the two halves of the central layer 7 are opened. There is a conical notch 10, which extends to the interlayer 8 and the outer layer 5 set on the same side as the center layer 7. A pull wire 6 is set in the conical notch 10, and three blocking balls 9 are fixedly connected to the surface of the pull wire 6. The diameters of the three blocking balls 9 increase in sequence and are respectively used to engage with the conical notch 10 in the outer layer 5, the interlayer 8 and the center layer 7. It is further shown that by pulling the pull wire 6, the No. 1 ball 91 can be first engaged with the inner wall of the conical notch 10 in the outer layer 5, and through the obstruction of the No. 1 ball 91, when the pull wire 6 is continuously pulled, the outer layer 5 and the center layer 7 are driven to engage with each other. The interlayer 8 on the side is detached, and the pull wire 6 is continuously pulled until the second ball 92 is engaged with the tapered notch 10 in the interlayer 8. The second ball 92 can be used to separate the interlayer 8 from the center layer 7 on the same side while the pull wire 6 is continuously pulled, so that the outer layer 5, the interlayer 8 and the center layer 7 on the same side can be completely detached, which is convenient for students to observe independently and intuitively. A base 1 is also provided outside the sphere 17, and a slide rail 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the base 1. Sliders 15 plugged into the slide rail 4 are fixedly connected to the two halves of the outer layer 5 to ensure that there is no positional displacement when the two halves of the outer layer 5 are separated.

[0024] In addition, the three blocking balls 9 are divided into No. 1 ball 91, No. 2 ball 92 and No. 3 ball 93 in the order of engaging with the tapered notches 10 in the outer layer 5, the interlayer 8 and the center layer 7, and the diameters of No. 1 ball 91, No. 2 ball 92 and No. 3 ball 93 increase in sequence. The No. 1 ball 91 is clearance-matched with the tapered notches 10 in the interlayer 8 and the center layer 7, and the No. 2 ball 92 is clearance-matched with the tapered notch 10 in the center layer 7, so as to ensure that when the pull wire 6 is pulled, the No. 1 ball 91 passes smoothly. The center layer 7 and the interlayer 8, as well as the No. 2 ball 92, pass through the center layer 7 smoothly; the length of the pull wire 6 between the No. 1 ball 91 and the No. 2 ball 92 is equal to the sum of the radii of the outer layer 5, the interlayer 8 and the center layer 7, and the length of the pull wire 6 between the No. 2 ball 92 and the No. 3 ball 93 is equal to the sum of the radii of the interlayer 8 and the center layer 7, so as to ensure that under the blocking action of the pull wire 6 and the No. 1 ball 91, the No. 2 ball 92 and the No. 3 ball 93, the outer layer 5, the interlayer 8 and the center layer 7 on the same side can be completely separated.

[0025] The two ends of the outer wall of the base 1 opposite to the spherical body 17 are rotatably connected to the winding wheel 11, and the traction rope 2 extending into the base 1 and connected to one end of the adjacent pulling wire 6 is wound on the winding wheel 11. The end faces of the two winding wheels 11 are fixedly connected to the sprocket 12, and the two sprockets 12 are driven by a chain. By adjusting the winding direction of the traction rope 2 on the surface of the winding wheel 11, the connection of the chain causes the two sprockets 12 to drive the corresponding winding wheel 11 to rotate. The reel 11 releases the traction rope 2 or reels the traction rope 2 at the same time, so that when the person pulls the two pulling lines 6, the traction ropes 2 connected to it can be released at the same time. The two ends of the base 1 facing the sphere 17 are connected to the triangular block 3 through the embedded rotation of the retaining spring. The right-angle corner of the triangular block 3 rotates with the base 1, and the inclined surface faces the middle position of the base 1. The bottom edge of the inclined surface overlaps the base 1. Under the elastic action of the retaining spring, the bottom edge of the inclined surface of the triangular block 3 always presses against the surface of the base 1, and the inclined surface of the triangular block 3 will contact and slide with the slider 15 when it passes, and under the pressure of the slider 15, the triangular block 3 overcomes the torsion of the retaining spring and rotates to facilitate the passage of the slider 15. The set triangular block 3 can drive the slider 15 on its surface to move to the end of the base 1 after the outer layer 5 drives it. By overlapping and resisting with the right-angled edge of the triangular block 3, it can prevent the two separated outer layers 5 from moving relative to each other and closing under the elastic contraction of the stretched spring rod 16.

[0026] Working principle: During normal demonstration, the staff will fix the base 1 on the desk, first introduce the outer wall of the outer layer 5 for preliminary explanation, and then directly separate the sphere 17 from the middle, that is, show the cross section of the sphere 17 in front of the students. During in-depth explanation, the staff will pull the two pull lines 6. When the pull lines 6 are pulled, the corresponding traction rope 2 will pull the winding wheel 11 to rotate and release. Under the blocking effect of the No. 1 ball 91, the outer layer 5 will move with the movement of the pull line 6 until the outer layer 5 is misaligned with the interlayer 8 on the same side, and then The rear second ball 92 cooperates with the interlayer 8 to realize that when the pull wire 6 is pulled, the outer layer 5 and the interlayer 8 are driven to move simultaneously, until the interlayer 8 is misaligned with the center layer 7 on the same side, and at this time the third ball 93 is in contact with the center layer 7. Continuous pulling of the pull wire 6 can realize the synchronous movement of the center layer 7, and the two halves of the center layer 7 can be separated. At the beginning of separation, the corresponding spring rod 16 will elastically stretch, and the right-angled side of the triangle block 3 can be used to press against the side of the slider 15, so that the outer layer 5, interlayer 8 and center layer 7 can be completely independent, which is convenient for personnel to further explain.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any other form. Any technician familiar with the profession may use the technical content disclosed above to change or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes for application in other fields. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiment made according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
