Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a teaching aid, and in particular to a conical pendulum demonstrator for measuring the motion law of a conical pendulum. Background Technology
[0002] Most existing conical pendulum demonstrators have the following problems: the teaching aids are large in size, making them inconvenient to move and operate; it is not convenient to adjust the speed and observe parameters such as the swing angle and the length of the swing rope, and it is even more inconvenient to read the parameters when the pendulum is rotating; the phase angle of the pendulum ball often lags behind the rotation speed of the axis of rotation at the beginning of the rotation, and the time for the pendulum ball to enter a stable swing state is relatively long; the teaching aids can only hold one pendulum ball, making it inconvenient to observe the swing patterns of pendulum balls with different masses and rope lengths. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention overcomes the problems of existing conical pendulum demonstrators, such as large size, inconvenient movement and operation, difficulty in adjusting speed and observing angles, long time for the pendulum ball to enter a stable swing state, and difficulty in observing the swing patterns of pendulum balls with different masses and rope lengths. It provides a conical pendulum demonstrator that is small in size and compact in structure, convenient to move and operate via voice and button control, and features graduations on the clamping plate for easy observation of the swing rope length and swing angle. The clamping plate allows the conical pendulum to quickly enter a stable state, improving efficiency. The limiting comb teeth fix the swing rope after rotational stabilization, facilitating the reading of the swing angle after it comes to rest. Furthermore, multiple observation balls of different masses and lengths can be installed simultaneously, facilitating the observation and comparison of the swing patterns of pendulum balls with different masses and rope lengths.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] This utility model provides a conical pendulum demonstrator, including a base, a vertical rod, and a swing ball. A first motor is installed in the base, and the drive end of the first motor is fixedly connected to the vertical rod. The upper end of the vertical rod is fixed to the swing ball, which is connected by a flexible connector. Two clamping plates are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the vertical rod. The swing ball and the flexible connector are located between the gaps of the two clamping plates. The swing ball can be centrifugally lifted along the fixed point as the vertical rod rotates. When the vertical rod of the conical pendulum demonstrator rotates under the drive of the first motor, the flexible connector connected to the vertical rod also rotates and centrifugally lifts the swing ball. This utility model has a compact design, small size, and is easy to move and operate. The clamping plates ensure that the phase angle of the swing ball quickly synchronizes with the rotation speed of the vertical rod, allowing the conical pendulum to reach a stable state quickly. This avoids the phase angle of the swing ball lagging behind the rotation speed of the vertical rod for a long time after the rotation begins, thus improving efficiency.
[0006] Furthermore, the flexible connector is a swing rope.
[0007] Furthermore, an arc-shaped groove is concentrically set on the clamping plate along the fixing point of the swing ball, and a limiting plate is inserted into the arc-shaped groove. The limiting plate is provided with evenly distributed limiting comb teeth. The swing rope of the swing ball can be locked between the comb teeth. A connecting plate is fixedly provided on the other side of the comb teeth of the limiting plate. A second motor is fixedly provided on one of the clamping plates. The drive rod of the second motor is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. The drive rod of the second motor is perpendicular to the connecting plate. By controlling the drive rod of the second motor, the connecting plate can be moved away from or closer to the swing ball. During the process from rest to the rotation of the pole, the drive rod of the second motor is controlled to make the comb teeth move away from the swing rope. The swing ball can be stabilized at a certain angle as the pole rotates. When the swing rope is stabilized at a certain angle, the second motor is controlled to make the comb teeth on the connecting plate move closer to the swing rope and lock the swing rope. When the rotation stops, the comb teeth are still locked to the swing rope. At this time, the swing angle when the rotation is stable can be clearly observed.
[0008] Furthermore, positioning holes are opened at the positions where the clamping plate and the connecting plate intersect with a certain vertical line on the surface of the clamping plate. Positioning rods are fitted into the positioning holes, and baffles are provided at both ends of the positioning rods. The positioning rods make the movement of the connecting plate more stable when the comb teeth are pulled closer or pushed further away by the second motor drive rod.
[0009] Furthermore, the clamp is a transparent clamp with a scale for measuring the length of the swing rope and the swing angle. The transparent clamp makes it easy to observe the motion parameters of the swing ball and to read the length of the swing rope and the swing angle.
[0010] Furthermore, a limiting block is provided at the top of the upright, which is clamped between the clamping plates. The limiting block is provided with a limiting groove. The swing rope of the swing ball passes through the limiting groove and can slide and change angle in the limiting groove as the upright rotates. The limiting block makes the swing ball swing within a certain range, preventing the swing ball from falling out of the clamping plates, and further makes the conical pendulum motion of the swing ball quickly stabilize.
[0011] Furthermore, the number of pendulum balls can be greater than one. Multiple pendulum balls with different masses and different rope lengths can be set up to facilitate comparative observation of the motion patterns of pendulum balls with different masses and rope lengths when performing conical pendulum motion.
[0012] Furthermore, the base is equipped with an LCD screen that displays angular velocity. The LCD screen is electrically connected to the first motor. The LCD screen displays angular velocity, has good visibility, and is convenient to read.
[0013] Furthermore, the base is equipped with a control device to control the opening and closing of the demonstrator, the adjustment of the rotational angular velocity of the upright, and the movement of the drive end of the second motor, making the conical pendulum demonstrator more convenient to use.
[0014] Furthermore, the control device can be a voice control module and / or control buttons, allowing users to control the conical pendulum demonstrator via voice control and / or buttons, which is convenient and quick.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: the clamping plate design allows the conical pendulum to reach a stable state quickly, preventing the phase angle of the pendulum ball from lagging behind the rotational speed of the upright for a long time after startup, thus improving efficiency; the transparent clamping plate and scale design make reading values convenient, allowing the length of the pendulum rope to be read when stationary, and locking the angle of the pendulum rope by pulling the control limit comb after the conical pendulum reaches stability, so that the angle on the transparent clamping plate can be read after the movement stops, which is accurate and convenient; the design of the first motor and the upright makes the overall size small and the structure compact, making it easy to handle and use; multiple pendulum balls with different masses and rope lengths can be set at the same time for easy comparison and observation; voice control and button control make the operation of the conical pendulum demonstrator more convenient.
