[0002] Geology and Earth Sciences typically involve complex geological processes and environmental impacts, especially wind-eroded landforms, which are landforms formed by the erosion and abrasion of soil surface materials and bedrock by wind and sand flow. These concepts may be difficult to fully understand through textbook knowledge alone, and there are problems with guiding students and unclear explanations. At the same time, the dry content may reduce students' interest in learning. To address these problems, we have proposed a wind-eroded landform experimental simulation device. Utility Model Content

[0023] 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.
[0024] Reference Figure 1-3 A wind erosion landform experimental simulation device includes a placement tray 5, a blower device on one side of the upper end of the placement tray 5, the blower device includes a support platform 4 set on one side of the upper end of the placement tray 5, a fan 3 placed on the upper end of the support platform 4, the fan 3 is composed of components such as motor and fan blades, has good mechanical performance and stability, and the speed is adjustable, used to simulate wind in nature, and plays the most important role in the experiment.
[0025] A transparent collection cup 6 is provided on the other side of the upper end of the placement tray 5. The upper end of the placement tray 5 has a sand leakage mechanism and a sand storage mechanism. The sand leakage mechanism includes a bracket 1 set on one side of the upper end of the placement tray 5. A funnel 2 is installed on the upper end of the bracket 1. A sprinkling pipe 7 is connected to the lower end of the funnel 2. A through hole 12 is provided on one side of the upper end of the transparent observation tube 8. The sprinkling pipe 7 passes through the through hole 12 and extends into the transparent observation tube 8. The bracket 1 is used to support the entire teaching aid, which is convenient for more three-dimensional experimental observation. In order to facilitate the subsequent installation of the funnel 2, the funnel 2 is used to install into the through hole 12 reserved in the transparent observation tube 8, which is a reserved position for adding sand later.
[0026] The sand storage mechanism includes a sand storage bottle 10 placed on one side of the upper end of the placement tray 5. The upper end of the sand storage bottle 10 is screwed with a cap 9. The sand storage bottle 10 is made of plastic and is filled with clean, dry fine sand to simulate the impact of wind blowing sand on the landform in nature.
[0027] A transparent observation tube 8 is fitted on one side of the blower. A sand-leaking mechanism passes through the transparent observation tube 8 and extends into it. A forming paper 11 is fitted on one end of the transparent observation tube 8. A sand outlet 13 is provided on one side of the lower end of the transparent observation tube 8, and the sand outlet 13 corresponds to the transparent collection cup 6. The height of the support 1 is 35cm, the height of the funnel 2 and the sprinkler 7 is 6cm, the length of the transparent observation tube 8 is 15cm, and the diameter of the transparent observation tube 8 is 6cm. The transparent observation tube 8 is made of plastic, and the forming paper 11 is made of A4 paper. The transparent observation tube 8 is used to connect with the fan 3 to facilitate the observation of the guiding wind and simulate the long-term impact of wind on the landform in nature.
[0028] In this invention, teachers can use this teaching aid as needed during the teaching process, based on the progress of the textbook and the actual situation of the students. For example, when explaining the formation of landforms, the teacher first provides a theoretical explanation to help students understand the concept and conditions of landform changes, and then uses this teaching aid to conduct an experimental demonstration, allowing students to observe the changes in landforms caused by sand carried by long-term wind blowing.
[0029] When explaining the formation of landforms, the presentation slides show dynamic diagrams illustrating the formation of wind, helping students understand the causes of wind and how it affects landforms.
[0030] In addition, this teaching aid can also be used for students' experimental inquiry activities. Teachers can ask questions such as "How do different wind directions affect the shape of landforms?" and "How do different types of landforms be affected by changes in wind force?" to guide students to find answers through experimental inquiry and cultivate their scientific inquiry ability and innovative thinking ability.
[0031] The operating steps of this utility model are as follows:
[0032] 1. Experimental Preparation
[0033] Choose a quiet, clean, and well-lit experimental site to ensure the experiment is free from external interference. Carefully inspect all parts of the teaching aids to ensure they are intact. Replace or replenish any damaged or missing parts promptly. Place the tray 5 flat on the table, adjust the position of the funnel support 1 so that it is fixed to one side of the experimental frame, with the funnel support perpendicular to the transparent observation tube 8. Prepare sand and a fan 3. Select appropriate sand according to the experimental requirements, and slowly pour the sand into the funnel 2, ensuring it can be blown by the wind. Observe the changes on the A4 paper on the other side.
[0034] 2. Simulation experiment of wind erosion landforms
[0035] Turn on the fan 3 button to test different wind speeds. Slowly add sand to funnel 2 and observe the changes on the other side. Observe the state of the experiment and ensure that the sand is poured into funnel 2 slowly. After 3 to 5 minutes, observe the changes on the other side of the A4 paper. Repeat the experiment multiple times and take the average value to improve the accuracy of the experimental data.
[0036] 3. The effect of wind-blown sand on the drying of A4 paper in the second experiment.
[0037] Repeat the above steps and carefully observe the effect of sand flowing slowly downstream under different wind forces on the other side of the A4 paper.
[0038] 4. The effect of wind-blown sand on wet A4 paper
[0039] Meanwhile, comparing the two experiments, the changes in the first dry A4 paper and the changes in the first wet A4 paper were observed. Under magnification, the first dry A4 paper showed slight traces of sand particles, with some fine sand adhering to the surface. In contrast, the wet A4 paper had a large amount of sand adhering to its surface, with some sand particles noticeably protruding from the paper. These two observations correspond to the different changes in soils after being affected by wind and sand in nature.
[0040] Handle this invention with care to avoid collisions and damage. When adding sand, do so slowly to ensure that the sand is blown up by the fan 3. Avoid pouring in too quickly, which could cause the sand to pile up. When using the fan 3, pay attention to the power consumption and charge it in time. After the experiment, tidy up the teaching aids in time, disassemble the furniture into different parts, and store them properly to avoid loss or damage. During the experiment, pay attention to safety and avoid accidents.
[0041] The following principles are followed in this invention:
[0042] 1. Principle of intuitiveness: The simulation instrument demonstrates the wind erosion process in a visual way, helping students to intuitively understand the impact of wind on landforms;
[0043] 2. Simplified Principle: The instrument design should simplify complex natural phenomena and simulate the wind erosion process using basic elements (such as wind, sand, and terrain) to highlight the key teaching points;
[0044] 3. Interactive principle: Students can operate the instruments themselves and adjust parameters such as wind speed and sand type, enhancing their sense of participation and deepening their understanding of wind erosion mechanisms;
[0045] 4. Stimulate thinking about principles: By observing the experimental results, encourage students to think about the different scenarios and influencing factors of wind force, and promote active learning;
[0046] 5. Multi-sensory stimulation principle: The instrument is designed to combine multiple sensory experiences such as vision (moving sand) and hearing (wind sound) to enhance learning effectiveness;
[0047] 6. Practicality Principle: The simulation test instrument should have practical application value to help students understand the actual impact of wind erosion on environmental and landform changes;
[0048] 7. Heuristic principle: Through experiments, students' interest in exploration is stimulated, encouraging them to raise relevant questions and conduct in-depth research on the formation mechanism of wind-eroded landforms;
[0049] By applying these principles, the wind erosion landform simulation test instrument can effectively improve teaching results and help students better understand the formation and changes of wind erosion landforms.
[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
