[0002] In the field of science popularization and education, science and technology museums and natural history museums, as important science popularization venues, bear the important mission of popularizing animal knowledge and improving scientific literacy among the public. At present, most of the animal science popularization display devices in these venues adopt static display methods such as specimen display and graphic display boards, or conduct popular science explanations through simple multimedia video playback. Although such display methods can convey animal-related knowledge to a certain extent, the interactive experience is relatively simple. The audience can only receive information in a passive viewing form and cannot achieve dynamic and in-depth interaction with the display content.
[0003] This static display mode fails to stimulate the exploration interest of audiences, especially teenagers, and cannot meet the requirements of modern science education for fun and appeal. At the same time, simple multimedia presentations lack audience participation, making it difficult for viewers to gain a deeper understanding of the animals' physiological characteristics and ecological habits through interaction, thus significantly reducing the effectiveness of science education. Therefore, it is necessary to design an animal science education device that allows users to guess the animal based on its pupil shape to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an animal science popularization device that allows users to guess the animal based on the shape of its pupils, and has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This animal science popularization device, which allows users to guess the animal based on its pupil shape, transforms traditional passive science popularization into active, gamified learning through an interactive mechanism. Users observe the shape of the animal's pupil, which is only visible through a closed, opening and closing plate, and then press a button to trigger the plate's opening and closing, revealing the answer. The device uses pupil shape as a unique entry point, featuring representative animals with horizontal, vertical, and round pupils. Three independent opening and closing plates combined with a display screen can simultaneously show different types of animal pupils, meeting diverse science popularization needs. Furthermore, the opening and closing of the plates automatically triggers the display to switch images, requiring no manual intervention and achieving efficient, cyclical display of science content, reducing labor costs and improving efficiency. The interactive mechanism, composed of a stepper motor, gear transmission, and cam mechanism, achieves the regular opening and closing of the plates, simulating the contraction and expansion of animal pupils. When the user presses the button, the stepper motor starts, driving the rotating disk to rotate, causing the plates to open and close, revealing different pupil shapes. Users can then guess the corresponding animal by observing these shapes.
[0015] 2. This animal science popularization device, which identifies animals based on the shape of their pupils, utilizes a movable mechanism. When the device needs to be moved to different locations during use, a servo motor drives a movable frame connected to a threaded rod to slide inside the device. This movable frame moves the mounting base and casters, bringing the casters into contact with the ground and lifting the device. The casters then move the device to the desired location. Once at the designated location, the threaded rod moves the casters away from the ground, ensuring the device's stability. Attached Figure Description

[0030] This utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0031] Example 1
[0032] Please see Figure 1-10 This utility model provides a technical solution: an animal science popularization device that allows users to guess the animal based on the shape of its pupils, including a science popularization device body 1, a science popularization platform 2 fixedly connected to the top rear side of the science popularization device body 1, an interactive mechanism 3 provided on the front side of the science popularization platform 2, a graphic board 4 fixedly connected to the left side of the front surface of the science popularization platform 2, an instruction sign 6 fixedly connected to the top left side of the science popularization device body 1, a button 5 fixedly connected to the top of the science popularization device body 1, and a moving mechanism 7 provided around the periphery of the science popularization device body 1;
[0033] The interactive mechanism 3 includes a stepper motor 31, which is fixedly connected inside the science popularization platform 2. A reducer 32 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the output end of the stepper motor 31. A spur gear 33 is fixedly connected to the front side of the output end of the stepper motor 31. A cylindrical gear 38 meshes with the top of the spur gear 33. A rotating disk 34 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the cylindrical gear 38. The rotating disk 34 is rotatably connected to the front side of the science popularization platform 2. A cam groove 39 is opened inside the rotating disk 34. A roller bearing 37 is slidably connected inside the cam groove 39. A guide slider 36 is fixedly connected to the front side of the roller bearing 37. An opening and closing plate 35 is fixedly connected to the front side of the guide slider 36. The opening and closing plate 35 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the rotating disk 34. A display fixing strip 391 is fixedly connected inside the science popularization platform 2. An open display 392 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the display fixing strip 391.
[0034] Eight roller bearings 37, cam grooves 39, guide sliders 36 and opening / closing plates 35 are provided and are symmetrically distributed. The eight roller bearings 37 are slidably connected in the eight cam grooves 39, so that the opening and closing angle of the opening / closing plates 35 can be adjusted by setting eight of them.
[0035] The open display 392 is rectangular and located behind the opening and closing plate 35, facilitating the display of animal head photos. Three sets of components are provided: stepper motor 31, reducer 32, spur gear 33, rotating disk 34, opening and closing plate 35, guide slider 36, roller bearing 37, cylindrical gear 38, cam groove 39, display fixing strip 391, and open display 392. These three sets are symmetrically distributed on the front of the science popularization platform 2, allowing for easy selection of horizontal, vertical, and round pupils within the open display 392.
[0036] There are three sets of buttons 5, which are electrically connected to three sets of stepper motors 31 respectively, so that the start and stop of the stepper motors 31 can be controlled by the buttons 5.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] Please see Figure 1-10 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the moving mechanism 7 further includes a servo motor 71, which is fixedly connected to the body 1 of the science popularization device. A threaded rod 72 is fixedly connected to the top of the servo motor 71, and the top of the threaded rod 72 is rotatably connected to the body 1 of the science popularization device. A moving frame 73 is threadedly connected to the outer periphery of the threaded rod 72, and the moving frame 73 is slidably connected to the inside of the body 1 of the science popularization device. A mounting base 74 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving frame 73, and a universal wheel 75 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting base 74.
[0039] The main body 1 of the science popularization device has a sliding groove inside, and the movable frame 73 is slidably connected in the sliding groove, which makes it easy to ensure the stability of the movable frame 73 under the action of the sliding groove.
[0040] In actual operation, when this device is used, the servo motor 71 and the stepper motor 31 are first powered by an external power supply. When the main body of the science popularization device 1 needs to be moved to different positions during use, the servo motor 71 drives the movable frame 73 connected to the threaded rod 72 to slide inside the main body of the science popularization device 1. The movable frame 73 drives the mounting base 74 and the universal wheel 75 to move, so that the universal wheel 75 contacts the ground and lifts the main body of the science popularization device 1. Under the action of the universal wheel 75, the main body of the science popularization device 1 can be moved to the position where science popularization is needed. When it is moved to the designated position, the universal wheel 75 can be moved away from the ground again under the action of the threaded rod 72, so that the bottom of the main body of the science popularization device 1 contacts the ground, thus ensuring the stability of the main body of the science popularization device 1.
[0041] After the movement is complete, users can learn how to use the device by referring to the instruction sheet 6. The device uses pupil shape as a unique starting point, featuring representative animals with three types of pupils: horizontal, vertical, and round. Users can choose one type during the educational process. When the user presses button 5, the stepper motor 31 starts, causing its output to drive the reducer 32 and spur gear 33 to rotate. The spur gear 33 then drives the cylindrical gear 38 to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating disk 34 to rotate in front of the educational platform 2. This causes the roller bearing 37 to drive the guide slider 36 to rotate... The moving plate 34 slides within the cam groove 39. During this sliding process, an animal's head photo is displayed on the open display 392. When the opening and closing plate 35 is closed, only the pupil is exposed. The user can guess which animal it is based on the shape of the pupil and then press button 5 again. The opening and closing plate 35 opens, revealing the entire animal's image, thus revealing the answer. The opening and closing of the opening and closing plate 35 triggers the open display 392 to switch to the next animal image, continuing the animal guessing science popularization work. No manual intervention is required, achieving efficient and cyclical display of science popularization content, reducing labor costs, and improving science popularization efficiency.
[0042] In this application, the servo motor 71, stepper motor 31, and open display 392 are connected to the same controller to ensure collaborative operation between the devices. The controller is existing technology and is not the focus of this application. This application will not describe the controller in detail. Those skilled in the art are well aware of the usage methods and steps of the controller. Furthermore, the button 5 in this application needs to be connected to the stepper motor 31 via a connecting cable to achieve the control effect.
