Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a demonstrator for the conversion of work and internal energy of an object, belonging to the technical field of physics teaching tools. Background Art

[0002] Currently, experimental demonstrations and student-initiated exploration of the topic of "work changing the internal energy of an object" are crucial in junior high physics instruction. The entire process of the mutual conversion of work and internal energy needs to be demonstrated intuitively and quantitatively. External references are needed to visually demonstrate the changes in the internal energy of an object and the effects of work, allowing students to better understand work, internal energy, and how they are converted into each other.

[0003] The "work that changes the internal energy of an object" demonstration apparatus commonly used in teaching currently consists primarily of nitrocellulose, a beaker, rubber tubing, and a piston. These simple experimental devices operate by placing a small amount of nitrocellulose in a thick-walled glass cylinder fitted with a piston. When the piston is rapidly depressed, the air temperature inside the cylinder rises, causing the nitrocellulose to combust, thereby demonstrating that work can change the internal energy of an object. While this method allows for intuitive observation of the phenomenon of work changing internal energy, it suffers from several issues: Temperature changes cannot be quantified, resulting in inaccurate experimental results; the nitrocellulose and ether used in the experiment have low flash points, posing safety risks and making them difficult to operate; and the inability to demonstrate the conversion of internal energy into work on the outside world, hindering the integration of the concept of energy conversion into teaching.

[0004] A search of prior art revealed a Chinese patent application, CN204463603U, that discloses a gas work-related internal energy reduction demonstrator with a digital temperature and pressure display. This device, which utilizes a thermistor, pressure sensor, and a microprocessor, is costly and complex, making it unsuitable for widespread educational use. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is: a work and object internal energy conversion demonstration instrument, comprising:

[0007] Fixed seat;

[0008] a first variable-volume container, wherein the bottom of the first variable-volume container is fixedly mounted on the fixing base, the first variable-volume container is provided with a first air cavity and a first air inlet and outlet communicating with the first air cavity, and the first variable-volume container is adapted to be driven to adjust the volume of the first air cavity;

[0015] a piston rod, one end of which is fixed to the fixing seat;

[0016] a piston head, the piston head being fixed to the other end of the piston rod;

[0017] a cylinder body, the cylinder body being slidably sleeved on a piston rod provided with a piston head, a first air cavity being formed between the cylinder body and the piston head, and the first air inlet and outlet being provided on the cylinder body;

[0018] Wherein, the piston rod is suitable for changing the volume of the first air cavity in the cylinder by driving the piston head.

[0019] Furthermore, the cylinder is provided with a volume scale of the first air cavity.

[0020] Furthermore, the fixing seat includes:

[0021] horizontal base;

Then, while maintaining the volume of the first variable-volume container constant, the valve is opened, allowing the gas within the first air chamber to enter the second variable-volume container through a connecting pipe, performing work on the gas within the second air chamber and increasing its volume. Simultaneously, the temperature display indicates a decrease in the temperature of the first temperature sensor in the first variable-volume container, while an increase in the temperature of the second temperature sensor in the second variable-volume container is observed. During this process, the volume changes of the first and second variable-volume containers are recorded, as well as the temperature changes of the corresponding first and second temperature sensors in the first and second variable-volume containers. Finally, the data is collated, yielding a qualitative conclusion: when external work is performed on an object, its internal energy increases and its temperature rises; when an object performs external work, its internal energy decreases and its temperature decreases.

[0038] A communication pipe 4, with both ends of the communication pipe 4 connected to the first air inlet and outlet and the second air inlet and outlet respectively;

[0039] Valve 5, valve 5 is arranged on the communication pipe 4, valve 5 is suitable for controlling the on-off of the communication pipe 4;

[0040] A temperature sensor group includes a first temperature sensor 61 and a second temperature sensor 62. The first temperature sensor 61 extends through the outer wall of the first variable-volume container 2 into the first air cavity, and the second temperature sensor 62 extends through the outer wall of the second variable-volume container 3 into the second air cavity.

[0041] The temperature display 7 is mounted on the fixing base 1 and is electrically connected to the first temperature sensor 61 and the second temperature sensor 62 .

[0042] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, first close the valve 5, press down the first variable volume container 2, compress the gas in the first air cavity, do work on the gas to increase its internal energy, and raise the temperature. The front and rear readings of the first temperature sensor 61 are recorded through the temperature display 7.

[0043] Then, while maintaining the volume of first variable-volume container 2, valve 5 is opened, and the gas in the first air chamber enters second variable-volume container 3 through connecting pipe 4, performing work on the gas in the second air chamber and increasing the volume of the second air chamber.

The temperature display 7 is mounted on the back plate by gluing, and the installation position is located at the middle height between the first variable volume container 2 and the second variable volume container 3, so as to facilitate simultaneous observation of temperature changes in both containers. The temperature display 7 can adopt a dual digital display or two separate displays. The specific material of the fixing base 1 can be wood.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the work and object internal energy conversion demonstrator further includes a camera 8 , which is mounted on the fixing base 1 , with the lens of the camera 8 facing the temperature display 7 .
