Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of teaching instrument technology, and specifically relates to a device for demonstrating the motion laws of an inertial reference frame. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of physics teaching, the laws governing the motion of objects in an inertial frame of reference are a core and abstract area of ​​knowledge. Students find it extremely difficult to grasp their essence by relying solely on theoretical explanations and static diagrams. Traditional teaching methods lack intuitive and dynamic demonstrations, causing students' understanding of this knowledge to often remain superficial, making it difficult to build a complete and accurate knowledge framework.

[0003] Existing physics demonstration instruments have several shortcomings when presenting knowledge related to inertial frames of reference. For example, the demonstrated phenomena are blurry, failing to clearly show the differences in the motion characteristics of objects under different inertial frames of reference; the instruments lack stability, resulting in poor repeatability of experimental results and making it difficult to provide students with reliable observation data; and the operation is complex, which is not conducive to conducting efficient demonstrations within the limited time of class.

[0004] Therefore, in order to address the problem that existing demonstration instruments produce blurry images and fail to clearly demonstrate the differences in the motion characteristics of objects under different inertial reference frames, it is necessary to provide a device for demonstrating the motion laws of inertial reference frames. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a device for demonstrating the motion laws of an inertial reference frame, which solves the problem that existing demonstration instruments produce blurry results and cannot clearly show the differences in the motion characteristics of objects under different inertial reference frames.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: it includes a chassis, a track, a catapult device, and a reference column, wherein:

[0007] The track is horizontally set on the chassis, and the ejection device is movably set on the track. The ejection device is used to eject the ball upward.

[0008] The reference post is fixed to the chassis. The vertical height of the reference post is higher than the top of the ejection device. A clearance space is provided between the reference post and the track to allow the ejection device to pass through. After the ball is ejected by the ejection device, it can cross the reference post and fall back onto the ejection device that has passed through the clearance space.

[0009] To better realize this utility model, further optimizations are made to the above structure. The reference column is set horizontally, and connecting columns are fixed at both ends of the reference column. The bottom ends of the connecting columns are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the chassis.

[0010] To better realize this utility model, the above structure is further optimized by providing a controller on the side of the chassis, which is electrically connected to the ejection device.

[0011] To better realize this utility model, the above structure is further optimized by providing a power supply inside the chassis, which is electrically connected to the controller.

[0012] To better realize this utility model, the above structure is further optimized by providing limiting blocks at both ends of the track, which are used to limit the displacement of the ejection device.

[0013] To better realize this utility model, further optimizations are made to the above structure. The ejection device includes a base, a spring, and a ball seat. The base is movably disposed on the track. The ball is located inside the ball seat. The first end of the spring is connected to the base, and the other end of the spring is connected to the ball seat.

[0014] To better realize this utility model, further optimizations are made to the above structure. The ejection device also includes an electromagnet disposed in the base. When the electromagnet is energized, it is magnetically attracted to the ball seat. When the electromagnet is de-energized, the ball seat ejects the ball under the action of the spring.

[0015] To better realize this utility model, further optimizations are made to the above structure. The inertial reference frame motion law demonstration device further includes a controller and a position sensor, wherein:

[0016] The position sensor is used to detect the distance between the base and the reference post;

[0017] The controller is electrically connected to the position sensor and the electromagnet. The controller is used to control the electromagnet to be de-energized when the distance between the base and the reference column reaches a set value.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0019] This utility model provides a device for demonstrating the motion laws of an inertial reference frame, comprising a chassis, a track, a launching device, and a reference column. The track is horizontally positioned on the chassis, and the launching device is movably mounted on the track, used to launch a sphere upwards. The reference column is fixed to the chassis, its vertical height exceeding the top of the launching device. A clearance space is provided between the reference column and the track, allowing the launching device to pass through. After being launched, the sphere crosses the reference column and falls back onto the launching device, which has passed through the clearance space. This structure demonstrates Galileo's principle of relativity, which states that the motion laws of objects are the same in an inertial reference frame. Relative to a uniform linear motion coordinate system, the sphere undergoes upward projectile motion; relative to a stationary coordinate system on the table, it undergoes oblique projectile motion. This device provides a clear and intuitive experimental demonstration, deeply illustrating the motion laws of objects in an inertial reference frame. It provides efficient and high-quality teaching tools for physics education, stimulates students' interest in learning, and improves learning outcomes; at the same time, it provides reliable experimental equipment for researchers to conduct relevant principle verification and for science popularizers to disseminate knowledge.
