[0035] This embodiment relates to a Michelson test apparatus, which replaces the traditional gear and worm gear transmission structure with a self-made reducer, and displays the displacement in digital form on the front panel of the electrical box by counting with an encoder.

[0036] Based on the above design concept, an exemplary structure of the Michelson experimental apparatus in this embodiment is as follows: Figures 1-7 As shown, it mainly includes a working box 1 and a sodium lamp source 36. The working box 1 and the sodium lamp source 36 are connected by wires. The working box 1 includes a top plate 3, a bottom plate, a front plate 32, a back plate, and a side plate 31.

A first adjustment knob 6 is installed on the right side of the movable seat 5, and a second adjustment knob 8 is installed on the right side of the movable lens frame 7.

[0037] By setting a connecting frame inside the working box 1, and cooperating with the transmission mechanism and handwheel 28 structure, and by rationally arranging the movable mirror frame 7, movable seat 5, fixed mirror frame 38, and corresponding second adjustment knob 8, first adjustment knob 6, and micro-adjustment knob 37, the experimenters can easily adjust and operate the instrument, easily find the interference ring and adjust its size, thereby better observing the interference phenomenon of light. This provides a stable and flexible operating platform for experiments such as measuring the wavelength of monochromatic light, which is conducive to improving the effectiveness and quality of experimental teaching.

[0038] The connecting frame is fixedly installed on the lower end face of the upper plate 3 of the box. The connecting frame includes a first connecting frame 9, a second connecting frame 10, a third connecting frame 11 and a fourth connecting frame 12, which are arranged from left to right.

The transmission mechanism includes an encoder 13, a flange 14, a lead screw 17, a connecting block 22, and a self-made reducer 23. The encoder 13 is mounted on the first connecting frame 9, and an encoder shaft is provided on the encoder 13. The right end of the encoder shaft is connected to the left end of the lead screw 17 through the flange 14. The right end of the lead screw 17 is connected to the rotating shaft of the self-made reducer 23 through the connecting block 22. A lead screw nut 16 is fitted on the lead screw 17, and a traction plate 19 is connected to the back of the lead screw nut 16. The traction plate 19 is installed on the guide 18; the first bearing 15 is installed on the second connecting frame 10, the second bearing 21 is installed on the third connecting frame 11, the left end of the lead screw 17 is inserted into the first bearing 15, and the right end of the lead screw 17 is inserted into the second bearing 21; the left end of the fourth connecting frame 12 is equipped with a self-made reducer 23, and the rotating shaft of the self-made reducer 23 is connected to the right end of the lead screw 17 through the connecting block 22; the first bearing chamber 30 is connected to the fourth connecting frame 12 by a connecting nail, and the third bearing 25 is installed in the first bearing chamber 30.

[0040] The third bearing 25 is fitted with an output shaft 39. The left end of the output shaft 39 is fitted with a reduction gear 24. The reduction gear 24 meshes with the internal gear of the self-made reducer 23. There are two third bearings 25, and a spacer 26 is provided between the third bearings 25. A baffle 27 is provided on the right side of the first bearing chamber 30. The right end of the output shaft 39 is connected to the handwheel 28 and fixed by a locking nut 29.

[0042] By setting a power supply, displacement display screen and zeroing button on the front panel 32 of the enclosure, setting a power connection hole, lamp switch and lamp holder on the back panel of the enclosure, and setting an adjustment handwheel 2 at the bottom of the working enclosure 1, the experimenters can quickly and conveniently perform operations such as power control, data reading and zeroing, lamp management and stable placement and adjustment of the instrument during the experiment, which further improves the ease of use of the instrument and makes the experiment operation smoother and more efficient.

[0043] It is understood that the fixed connection in this embodiment is fixed with connecting nails, but it can also be bolts or rivets.

[0044] When using the Michelson experimental apparatus described in this embodiment:

[0045] 1. Connect the power cord to the instrument and turn on the power switch;

[0046] 2. Place the instrument on a stable experimental platform. Adjust the handwheel 2 at the bottom of the working box 1 to ensure the instrument is stable. Connect the power cord to the instrument and turn on the power switch. The experiment uses a sodium lamp source 36. Position the sodium lamp source 36 correctly, adjust the micro-adjustment knob 37 on the movable frame 7 and fixed frame 38 to locate the interference ring. Adjust the size of the ring by adjusting the first adjustment knob 6 and the second adjustment knob 8 below the movable base 5 to conduct the experiment.

[0047] 3. At this time, turn the handwheel 28. The lead screw 17 rotates, causing the lead screw nut 16 to move. The movement of the lead screw nut 16 causes the traction plate 19 to move the guide 18. The guide 18 is connected to the connecting plate 20 and the moving plate 4, which in turn moves the moving mirror. The rotation of the lead screw 17 drives the encoder 13 to count.

[0048] 4. Determine the position of the starting ring. Press the zeroing button on the front panel, turn the handwheel 28, observe and record the number of convex and concave rings. When you count to 50 rings, observe and record the displacement display value on the working box 1. Take the average value after multiple measurements.

[0049] Using the formula: Calculate the wavelength.

[0050] In addition, the air refractive index can be placed in the nail hole in front of the fixed mirror and connected to the electrical box to conduct the air refractive index experiment.

[0051] Understandably, different light sources can be used for experiments.

[0052] The Michelson experimental apparatus using the above implementation scheme can not only measure the wavelength of monochromatic light and observe the interference phenomenon of light, but also install an air refractive index chamber between the moving mirror and the fixed mirror to enhance the instrument's functional versatility and meet more experimental needs. It replaces the traditional gear and worm gear transmission structure with a self-made reducer, and displays the displacement in digital form on the front panel of the electrical box through encoder counting.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
