Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of teaching aids for architectural engineering, and in particular to a support structure for architectural engineering models. Background Technology

[0002] Small-sized engineering models are frequently used in design demonstrations, project discussions, and educational presentations. Currently, some technologies attempt to use electric devices to fix and adjust these models, such as electric telescopic supports and electric clamps. However, these electric devices still have significant drawbacks in practical applications: First, the introduction of electric devices increases the complexity and cost of the overall structure. The assembly and maintenance of components such as the electric control system and drive motor are more difficult, and the equipment failure rate is relatively high. A failure could render the entire fixing system unusable, severely impacting the use of small-sized engineering models. Second, electric devices require continuous power during operation, which severely limits their use in outdoor exhibitions, temporary demonstrations, and other scenarios where power is inconvenient. Third, while existing electric fixing devices have some adjustment capabilities, their control precision is insufficient to meet the fine adjustment needs of small-sized engineering models. When fine-tuning the model's position and angle, over-adjustment or under-adjustment is prone to occur, and the response speed and stability of electric adjustment are poor, making it difficult to accurately adapt to small-sized engineering models of different shapes and sizes.

[0003] At the same time, the inherent defects of traditional simple supports or clamps still exist. Traditional support structures are fixed and difficult to adjust flexibly according to small-sized engineering models of different shapes and sizes. When placing models, the fixed angle and position of the support often prevent the model from being positioned at a suitable display or research perspective. Commonly used clamps usually rely on rigid clamping when holding small-sized engineering models, lacking a buffer protection structure. They are very easy to cause scratches, indentations and other damage to the model surface during clamping. This is especially true for some delicately crafted, fragile small-sized architectural models, where such damage may directly affect the model's display effect and usability. Utility Model Content

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0029] This application discloses a support structure for architectural engineering models.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 2The supporting structure of this architectural engineering model mainly consists of a support 1, a first adjustment mechanism 2, two back plates 3, a second adjustment mechanism 5, and multiple clamping mechanisms 4. The support 1 serves as the basic support component and is securely connected to the first adjustment mechanism 2. The first adjustment mechanism 2 is connected to the two back plates 3 via the second adjustment mechanism 5. Multiple clamping mechanisms 4 are respectively mounted on the two back plates 3. In practical applications, the clamping mechanisms 4 are used to securely hold the engineering model, while the first adjustment mechanism 2 and the second adjustment mechanism 5 are responsible for adjusting the position of the engineering model on the clamping mechanisms 4, to meet the position adjustment needs for displaying, studying, etc., in different scenarios.

[0031] Please see Figures 3 to 4 The first adjusting mechanism 2 includes a protrusion 204, a circular groove 205, a ball 203, a rod 202, and a tailstock 201. The protrusion 204 is reliably connected to the support 1 by welding or high-strength bolts, ensuring connection stability. The circular groove 205 is precision-machined onto the protrusion 204, with machining precision required to ensure the ball 203 can move flexibly and stably within it. The ball 203 and the circular groove 205 are connected by a movable connection, allowing the ball 203 to rotate in multiple directions within the groove 205, laying the foundation for subsequent multi-angle adjustment of the rod 202. The ball 203 and the rod 202 can be integrally molded or connected by welding, interference fit, or other methods to ensure a strong connection and stable force transmission. The other end of the rod 202 is rotatably connected to the tailstock 201. For example, a shaft hole can be provided on the tailstock 201, and a shaft pin can be installed at the end of the rod 202. The shaft pin and the shaft hole cooperate to achieve a rotatable connection, so that the rod 202 can rotate relative to the tailstock 201.

[0032] To further optimize the adjustment performance of the first adjustment mechanism 2, a magnetic block is embedded in the inner wall of the circular groove 205, and the sphere 203 is made of iron. When the sphere 203 rotates to a specific position within the circular groove 205, the magnetic force exerted by the magnetic block on the iron sphere 203 provides a certain positioning resistance, allowing the sphere 203 to remain relatively stable at that position. This avoids unnecessary changes in the position of the engineering model due to slight external interference, thus improving the positional stability after adjustment.

[0033] The first adjustment mechanism 2 also includes a housing 206 and a cross groove 207. The housing 206 is tightly connected to the support 1 by welding, bolting, or other methods, providing protection for the internal structure. The cross groove 207 is machined onto the housing 206, allowing the rod 202 to move smoothly within it during operation. The cross groove 207 is designed to limit the range of motion of the rod 202, ensuring that it can only be adjusted within the direction and range defined by the cross groove 207. This prevents the rod 202 from excessively rotating or moving, ensuring the stability and controllability of the engineering model during adjustment. For example, when a small angle adjustment of the engineering model is required, the rod 202, constrained by the cross groove 207, can precisely change the angle without excessive rotation causing significant deviation in the model's position.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5 The second adjustment mechanism 5 mainly consists of an outer frame 501, a sliding plate 502, a slider 503, and a sliding groove 504. The outer frame 501 and the sliding plate 502 are connected by a sliding connection, and the outer frame 501 and the sliding plate 502 are connected to the two back plates 3 by welding, bolting, or other methods. The slider 503 and the sliding plate 502 are connected as a single unit by welding or bolting. The sliding groove 504 is machined into the outer frame 501, and the slider 503 and the sliding groove 504 cooperate to achieve a sliding connection. In actual use, when it is necessary to adjust the relative position between the two back plates 3, the sliding plate 502 can slide along the outer frame 501 by sliding the slider 503 within the sliding groove 504, thereby changing the distance between the two back plates 3 to adapt to the clamping requirements of engineering models of different sizes.

[0035] To ensure stability after adjustment, bolts are installed on the slider 503. When the slide plate 502 slides to the appropriate position, the bolts on the slider 503 are tightened, causing the bolt ends to press firmly against the surface of the slide plate 502. The friction between the bolts and the slide plate 502 is used to fix the slider 503 at a specific position on the outer frame 501, thereby fixing the relative position between the two back plates 3. This prevents the position of the back plates 3 from changing due to external forces during subsequent use, ensuring stable support for the engineering model.

[0036] The clamping mechanism 4 includes a plate 401, an elastic element 402, a first clamping element 403, a second clamping element 404, and two sets of rollers 405. The plate 401 and the first clamping element 403 are rotatably connected. For example, a pin can be provided on the plate 401, and a shaft hole can be provided on the first clamping element 403. The pin engages with the shaft hole to achieve rotation, allowing the first clamping element 403 to rotate relative to the plate 401. The plate 401 and the second clamping element 404 are fixedly connected by welding, bolts, or other methods. The elastic element 402 is provided on the first clamping element 403. The elastic element 402 can be a spring or other element with elastic restoring force. One end is fixed to the first clamping element 403, and the other end can be fixed to the plate 401 (it can be a torsion spring), so that the elastic element 402 can provide the first clamping element 403 with a spring force that always keeps it close to the second clamping element 404.

[0037] Two sets of rollers 405 are respectively connected to the clamping positions of the first clamping member 403 and the second clamping member 404. The rollers 405 are rotatably connected to the first clamping member 403 and the second clamping member 404 via axles. When clamping the engineering model, if the engineering model is placed between the first clamping member 403 and the second clamping member 404, the two sets of rollers 405 can contact the surface of the engineering model. During fine-tuning of the engineering model's position or during placement, the rollers 405 can roll on the surface of the engineering model, acting as a guide, reducing friction between the engineering model and the clamping members, allowing the engineering model to be adjusted to the appropriate position more smoothly, and also preventing damage to the surface of the engineering model due to excessive friction. For example, when placing an irregularly shaped engineering model on the clamping mechanism 4, the rollers 405 can roll according to the shape of the model's surface, assisting the model in being smoothly positioned.

[0038] The implementation principle of a support structure for an architectural engineering model according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: Support 1 serves as the foundation of the entire support structure, providing stable support for subsequent components. The first adjustment mechanism 2 is connected to support 1 through protrusion 204. By utilizing the multi-directional rotation of ball 203 within circular groove 205, combined with the rotational connection between rod 202 and tailstock 201, the spatial angle adjustment of the engineering model is achieved. Simultaneously, the magnetic force between the magnetic block on the inner wall of circular groove 205 and the iron ball 203 provides positioning resistance for the adjusted position, ensuring the stability of the model's angle. The cross groove 207 on the outer shell 206 restricts the range of motion of rod 202, ensuring that the adjustment process is controllable.

[0039] In the second adjustment mechanism 5, the outer frame 501 and the slide plate 502 are slidably connected, and the slider 503 slides in the slide groove 504, which can change the distance between the two back plates 3 to adapt to engineering models of different sizes. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the bolts on the slider 503 are tightened, and the slider 503 is fixed by friction, thereby stabilizing the relative position of the two back plates 3.

[0040] The plate 401 of the clamping mechanism 4 is rotatably connected to the first clamping member 403. Under the elastic force of the elastic member 402, the first clamping member 403 always tends towards the second clamping member 404, which can firmly clamp the engineering model. The two sets of rollers 405 on the first clamping member 403 and the second clamping member 404 are in contact with the surface of the engineering model. They roll during model placement and fine-tuning, playing a guiding role, reducing friction, and avoiding damage to the model surface. The various mechanisms cooperate with each other to achieve stable and flexible support and position adjustment of the engineering model.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
