Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of model teaching aids, in particular to a myofilament sliding model teaching aid. Background Art

[0002] Human movement is the result of skeletal muscle contraction. Skeletal muscle is composed of numerous parallel muscle fibers (cells). Under a light microscope, the cytoplasm of skeletal muscle fibers contains numerous parallel myofibrils, the basic unit of which is the sarcomere. Under an electron microscope, each sarcomere is composed of thick and thin myofilaments arranged in parallel. It is currently believed that the contraction mechanism of skeletal muscle is the sliding filament theory, in which the thin myofilaments on either side of the same sarcomere slide toward the thick myofilament, resulting in shortening of the sarcomere, causing shortening of the entire myofibril, the muscle fiber, and the entire muscle.

[0003] Currently, the pictures and animations often used to explain the theory of filament sliding are difficult for students to understand because the content is relatively abstract. The common filament sliding models in the laboratory are hand-push models, which require the user to push the wooden boards on both sides that fix the thin filaments to achieve the purpose. Often, the user's hands apply uneven force, resulting in different sliding speeds of the thin filaments on both sides, and thus cannot accurately demonstrate the filament sliding theory. In addition, some users use too much force, which makes the model extremely easy to damage.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed a myofilament sliding model teaching aid to solve the problems raised in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, the limit mechanism includes a limit switch 1 fixedly arranged at the side edge of the top of the installation box, and a limit switch 2 fixedly arranged at the top of the installation box on one side of the limit switch; a limit switch 4 fixedly arranged at the side edge of the top of the installation box, and a limit switch 3 fixedly arranged at the top of the installation box on the side edge of the limit switch 4.

[0009] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes driving shafts symmetrically fixed on both sides of the inner wall of the installation box, linear motors are slidably arranged on the driving shafts, and the two linear motors are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the Z-line plate one and the Z-line plate two; the top of the installation box is located above the two driving shafts and has two sliding grooves symmetrically opened.

[0010] Preferably, the control mechanism includes a control board fixedly arranged inside the installation box, and a plurality of control lines are fixedly arranged on the control board; and a button is fixedly arranged on the top of the installation box.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The utility model provides movable adjustment for Z-line plate 1 and Z-line plate 2 to demonstrate the relative position relationship with the M-line plate, vividly showing the sliding of thin filaments into and out of thick filaments, making it easier for students to understand the theory of filament sliding and skeletal muscle contraction and relaxation, thereby improving teaching effectiveness.

Since the Z-line plate 1 and the Z-line plate 2 are installed on the same straight axis of the linear motor, when the motor moves, it will drive the Z-line plate 1 and the Z-line plate 2 to move toward or in opposite directions along the sliding groove, and the movement speed is the same.

The bottoms of the Z-line plate 1 2 and the Z-line plate 2 4 are fixedly connected to the linear motor 11, so that the linear motor 11 can be slidably driven on the drive shaft 10, thereby driving the Z-line plate 1 2 and the Z-line plate 2 4 to slide and adjust, thereby driving the thin filaments 6 to slide, thereby demonstrating the contraction and relaxation state of skeletal muscle;

[0034] At the same time, two sliding grooves 8 are symmetrically opened on the top of the installation box 1 with the M line plate 3 as the center line, so that the Z line plate 1 2 and the Z line plate 2 4 pass through the sliding grooves 8 to fix the bottom to the linear motor 11, so as to facilitate the sliding adjustment display of the Z line plate 1 2 and the Z line plate 2 4 through the two sliding grooves 8.

When the Z-line plate 12 moves to the position of limit switch 17, it will touch the limit switch 17. When the Z-line plate 24 moves to the position of limit switch 416, it will touch the limit switch 416. When the control board 12 detects that any one of the limit switch 17 and the limit switch 416 is touched, the control board 12 controls the two linear motors 11 to stop running, and the Z-line plate 12 and the Z-line plate 24 stop at the limit switch 17 and the limit switch 416 respectively, thereby showing the elongation of the sarcomere, which is the relaxation state of the skeletal muscle.
