Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vibration testing equipment, specifically to a string vibration research experimental instrument. Background Technology

[0002] Vibrations exist everywhere in nature. Broadly speaking, any periodic change of a physical quantity over time can be called a vibration. The propagation of a certain vibration is called a wave, such as mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves. Various forms of waves share many common characteristics and laws, such as having a certain propagation speed, being accompanied by energy propagation, and producing phenomena such as reflection, refraction, interference, and diffraction. When the wave intensity is low, wave propagation is independent. The superposition of several waves can produce many unique phenomena; standing waves are one example.

[0003] The study of wave propagation laws on strings is an important experiment in mechanics and is a required experiment in the national comprehensive university physics experimental teaching syllabus. This instrument focuses on observing standing waves formed on strings and experimentally determining the relationships between the standing wave wavelength and tension, the standing wave wavelength and vibration frequency, and the standing wave wavelength and string density during string vibration. It also aims to help students master the method of measuring transverse wave wavelengths using the standing wave principle. This method has important applications not only in mechanics but also in experiments in acoustics, radio, and optics.

[0004] In traditional devices, the tension on the string is changed by altering the weight of the weights, i.e., changing the mass of the weights. Since the mass of the weights cannot be infinitely small, the tension on the string can also change continuously and infinitely small. That is, the tension exhibits a quantized phenomenon with the weight of the smallest weight as the unit. Furthermore, treating the weight of the weights as the tension on the string ignores the restoring force generated by the deformation of the string, resulting in a large systematic error.

[0005] To prevent the phenomenon of quantization based on the weight of the smallest weight and to reduce systematic errors, this application proposes an experimental apparatus for studying string vibrations. Utility Model Content

[0006] I. Technical problems to be solved

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to prevent the phenomenon of quantization based on the weight of the smallest weight and to reduce system error.

This vibration source has advantages such as a large frequency variation range and continuous fine-tuning of the vibration frequency. It can be used to study the relationship between standing wave wavelength and vibration frequency, string linear density, and string tension.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, a string vibration research experimental instrument includes a base 1, an electronic vibration source 2 is installed at one end of the upper side of the base 1, a string 6 is installed at the vibration output end of the electronic vibration source 2, a tension sensor 4 is installed at the other end of the string 6, and the tension sensor 4 is installed at the other end of the upper side of the base 1.

[0029] Two sets of guide rails 7 are installed on the upper side of the base 1. Slider 1 8 and slider 2 9 are slidably installed on the outer side of the two sets of guide rails 7. The string 6 is installed as a vibrating spring at the vibration output end of the electronic vibration source 2. Slider 1 8 is close to the vibrating spring on the electronic vibration source 2. Slider 2 9 is located on the side of slider 1 8 away from the electronic vibration source 2. Reflector plates 10 are respectively installed on the upper side of slider 1 8 and slider 2 9. The string 6 passes through the two sets of reflector plates 10.

[0030] With the above structure, the electronic vibration source 2 drives the string 6 to vibrate through a continuously adjustable frequency. Slider 8 serves as the starting point for wavelength reading, and slider 9 moves on the guide rail 7 to adjust for the optimal stable wave. It is also used to reflect the wave output by the vibration source. During the experiment, slider 8 and slider 9 are fixedly installed on the upper side of the base 1 by clamping bolts. The tension of the string 6 in the horizontal direction is measured by the tension sensor 4. The specific structure is as follows:

[0031] Combined with appendix Figure 1 As shown, an installation block 3 is installed on the other end of the upper side of the base 1, and a threaded shaft is installed on the connecting end of the tension sensor 4. The threaded shaft passes through the installation block 3 and a tension adjusting nut 5 is fitted on the outside of the threaded shaft. The tension adjusting nut 5 drives the tension sensor 4 to move laterally, and the tension sensor 4 pulls the string 6 to change the tension of the string 6.

[0032] The reflector plate 10 is provided with multiple sets of through holes of different diameters. The string 6 passes through the through holes of the corresponding size. The appropriate hole diameter is selected according to the thickness of the string. In order for the string to pass through the hole and for the reflector plate of the slider to be in the center position, the two screws at the bottom of the reflector plate can be loosened so that it can automatically correct itself to the center position and then be tightened after correction.

[0033] Combined with appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 As shown, the electronic vibration source 2 is connected to the vibration power supply via a wire. The vibration power supply outputs a stable and continuously adjustable frequency, allowing the frequency of the electronic vibration source 2 to be continuously adjusted from 0 to 300 Hz. The tension sensor 4 is connected to the tension measuring instrument via a wire. The data from the tension sensor 4 is transmitted to the tension measuring instrument, and the tension value is displayed on the display screen of the tension measuring instrument.

[0034] The specific usage method is as follows:

[0035] During the experiment, connect the input plug of base 1 to a 220V AC power supply, and connect the output terminal to the aircraft mount on the main unit. Turn on the vibration power supply. The digital display on the vibration power supply panel shows the vibration frequency of the vibration source. Adjust the frequency via the panel as needed to change the vibration frequency of the electronic vibration source 2. When vibration is not needed, press the reset button on the panel to reset.

[0036] When the vibration reed resonates and causes the amplitude to be too large, rotate the knob on the panel counterclockwise to reduce the amplitude for easier experimentation. When not operating at the resonant frequency point, adjust the amplitude knob on the panel to the maximum output to fix the frequency of the electronic vibration source 2. Adjust the tension adjusting nut 5 of the experimental device to change the tension on the string 6. Each time the tension is changed, adjust the position of slider 2 9 to make the string 6 on the platform exhibit a large and stable standing wave. At this time, record the vibration frequency on the vibration power supply, the tension on the string 6 on the tension measuring instrument, the length of the string 6 that produces an integer multiple of half wavelength, and the half-wave number.

[0037] Using the same method, the tension of string 6 was fixed, and the frequency of electronic vibration source 2 was changed to conduct a similar experiment.
