Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of teaching props technology, and more specifically, to a teaching prop made using a tourbillon mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Teaching models serve as a bridge between theoretical knowledge and practical problems. For mechanical engineering students, simply focusing on views on drawings is too abstract and makes it difficult to grasp the information conveyed by the drawings. Models, on the other hand, can visualize highly abstract views, making them more accessible.
[0003] Traditional teaching models are somewhat limited and their content is relatively simplistic. While they can help students accurately and clearly understand the practical significance of mechanical models, they fail to effectively cultivate students' innovative awareness and practical abilities. Therefore, in addition to helping students understand the knowledge content and developing their hands-on and aesthetic abilities, the course should also cultivate their ability to think creatively and innovatively. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a teaching tool made using a tourbillon mechanism.
[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A teaching prop made using a tourbillon mechanism includes a palindromic tourbillon mechanism, a support, a planetary tourbillon mechanism, and a base, which are connected in sequence from top to bottom. The planetary tourbillon mechanism is mounted on the base. When the planetary tourbillon mechanism is activated, the palindromic tourbillon mechanism can revolve around the planetary tourbillon mechanism.
[0007] Furthermore, in this utility model, the planetary tourbillon mechanism includes a main gear, a transmission mechanism, and a gear ring, all mounted on the base. The gear ring and the main gear are connected by the transmission mechanism. The bracket has an L-shaped structure, with one end fixedly connected to the gear ring and the other end connected to the main gear. When the main gear rotates, the bracket rotates around the central axis of the main gear.
[0008] Furthermore, in this utility model, a rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the bracket, a tray is mounted at the top of the rotating shaft, and a transmission gear that meshes with the main gear is mounted at the bottom of the shaft; the palindrome gyroscope mechanism is mounted on the tray.
[0009] Furthermore, in this utility model, the palindromic tourbillon mechanism includes an outer frame disposed on the tray and an actuating mechanism disposed within the outer frame.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] This invention provides a teaching prop made using a tourbillon mechanism. The entire prop employs a fun analogy, using the tourbillon mechanism in mechanical structures to represent the Earth's rotation under the gravitational pull of its core, and its synchronous revolution around the Sun under the gravitational pull of the Sun. The palindromic tourbillon mechanism is likened to the Earth, with its internal rotating part representing the Earth's core, providing gravity; the central support is likened to the Sun's gravity, causing the Earth to revolve around it; and the planetary tourbillon mechanism is likened to the Sun, providing the necessary gravity for the Earth's revolution. This novel teaching prop, with its fun and expansive features, further addresses the shortcomings of traditional teaching props, compensating for their overly simplistic content; it makes teachers' lessons more novel and interesting, and helps students escape a monotonous learning environment, thereby continuously cultivating their innovative awareness.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0020] A teaching prop made using a tourbillon mechanism includes a palindromic tourbillon mechanism 101, a bracket 201, a planetary tourbillon mechanism 301, and a base 401 that are connected in sequence from top to bottom, with the planetary tourbillon mechanism 301 mounted on the base 401.
[0021] In this embodiment, the planetary tourbillon mechanism 301 includes a main gear 3011, a transmission mechanism 3012, and a gear ring 3013, all mounted on the base 401. The gear ring 3013 and the main gear 3011 are connected by the transmission mechanism 3012. The bracket 201 is designed with an L-shaped structure. One end of the bracket 201 is fixedly connected to the gear ring 3013, and the other end is equipped with a pin 601. Correspondingly, a insertion hole 701 is provided on the main gear 3011, and the central axis of this insertion hole 701 is collinear with the central axis of the main gear 3011. After the bracket 201 is installed, the pin 601 is inserted into the insertion hole 701.
[0022] In this embodiment, a rotating shaft 501 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 201, a tray 502 is mounted on the top of the rotating shaft 501, and a transmission gear 503 that is always meshed with the main gear 3011 is mounted on the bottom of the shaft 501; the palindrome gyroscope mechanism 101 is mounted on the tray 502.
[0023] Specifically, the palindromic tourbillon mechanism 101 includes an outer frame 1011 mounted on the tray 502, and an actuating mechanism 1012 mounted within the outer frame 1011. Thus, when the planetary tourbillon mechanism 301 is activated, the palindromic tourbillon mechanism 101 can revolve around the planetary tourbillon mechanism 301. The working principle of the tourbillon mechanism is existing technology, therefore it will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0024] This teaching aid uses a fun analogy to illustrate the Earth's rotation under the gravitational pull of its core, and its revolution around the Sun under the same gravitational pull. The palindromic tourbillon mechanism 101 is likened to the Earth, with its rotating core providing gravity. The central support 201 is likened to the Sun's gravity, causing the Earth to revolve around it. The planetary tourbillon mechanism 301 is likened to the Sun, providing the necessary gravitational pull for the Earth's revolution. This novel teaching aid, with its fun and expansive features, addresses the shortcomings of traditional teaching aids, overcoming their limited content. It makes lessons more engaging and interesting for teachers, helps students escape a monotonous learning environment, and fosters their creativity.
[0025] Working principle:
[0026] The planetary tourbillon mechanism 301 operates only after an initial force is applied to the main gear 3011, causing it to rotate. The rotation of the main gear 3011 can be controlled manually. This rotation is controlled by the transmission mechanism 3012, which in turn controls the rotation of the gear ring 3013. The rotation of the gear ring 3013 then drives the support 201 to rotate around the central axis of the main gear 3011. During the rotation of the support 201 around the central axis of the main gear 3011, the transmission gear 503 is meshed with the main gear 3011. Therefore, during this process, the rotating shaft 501, while revolving around the central axis of the main gear 3011, also rotates around its own central axis. The rotation of the rotating shaft 501 drives the tray 502 to rotate, thereby causing the outer frame 1011 to rotate. For the internal mechanism 1012 of the outer frame 1011 to operate during its rotation, the mainspring 1013 inside the outer frame 1011 needs to be powered. After the mainspring 1013 is powered, the entire mechanism 1012 begins to operate. From this point on, the entire mechanism (planetary tourbillon mechanism 301 and palindromic tourbillon mechanism 101) is in an active state.
[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the forms disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. It can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments, and can be altered within the scope of the concept described herein through the above teachings or related technologies or knowledge.
