A teaching aid for simulating the setting of a dial indicator includes:
[0044] Base 1, housing 2, rotating assembly 3, indicator block 4, rotating assembly 9, rotating rod 8, and dial 10;
[0045] The housing 2 is mounted on the surface of the base 1, and the rotating assembly 3 is disposed inside the housing 2. The rotating assembly 3 includes two drive wheels 31 and a belt 32, with the belt 32 disposed between the two drive wheels 31.
[0046] The indicator block 4 is connected to the surface of the belt 32;

[0048] The rotating rod 8 is disposed between one of the drive wheels 31 and the housing 2;
[0049] The dial 10 is disposed on one side of the rotating assembly 9.
[0050] Another drive wheel 31 is provided with a rotating rod 7 between it and the housing 2, and a transparent cover 5 is installed on one side of the housing 1.
[0051] A rectangular through groove 6 is provided on one side of the surface of the housing 2.
