Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of scientific and educational tools, specifically a glow discharge observation device. Background Technology

[0002] Glow discharge is a self-sustaining discharge phenomenon that occurs in low-pressure gases. When the electric field strength exceeds a certain threshold, gas atoms or molecules are excited and ionized, resulting in a stable and continuous luminescence. Glow discharge typically occurs in a closed container filled with gas and equipped with electrodes, which conduct electricity through an electric field. Glow discharge is accompanied by a faint but continuous glow, the color of which varies depending on the type of working gas.

[0003] However, existing glow discharge experimental devices are usually complex in structure and inconvenient to operate, and have the following problems: 1. Inconvenient connection method: Traditional glow discharge experiments require manual connection of electrodes, which not only affects experimental efficiency but also easily leads to poor contact; 2. Complex circuit and insufficient safety: The exposed connection of high-voltage power supply may pose a risk of electric shock, and improper use may cause damage; 3. Limited visualization effect: Some devices can only light up a single gas tube, lacking diverse display methods, which is not conducive to teaching interaction. Utility Model Content

Driven by the power supply structure 2, the spring electrode 12 is energized, and the low-pressure gas in the glass tube 13 is energized and emits light, thus completing the demonstration. The number and types of glass tubes 13 can be freely combined. The entire device has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is conducive to teaching and interaction.

[0024] The spring electrode 12 has six sets of conductors, and the six sets of conductors correspond one-to-one with the pre-set openings on the surface of the test tube rack 11;
