[0001] This utility model relates to the field of science popularization technology, specifically an outdoor science popularization sign with specimens. Background Technology
[0002] Outdoor science information boards are an important medium for popularizing natural science knowledge and showcasing biodiversity, and are widely used in parks, nature reserves, botanical gardens, zoos, and school outdoor education bases. Among them, directly displaying real animal and plant specimens (such as insects, plant leaves, flowers, seeds, feathers, small fossils, etc.) is one of the most intuitive and attractive ways to popularize science, allowing visitors to observe the details of biological morphology and structure up close, significantly enhancing the effectiveness of science education.
[0003] However, existing plant and animal specimen popular science signs used in outdoor environments have the following problems:
[0004] 1. The fine structures of many specimens (such as the wing veins and compound eyes of insects, and the leaf veins and pollen of plants) are important popular science content. Existing popular science signs either lack magnification observation methods or are equipped with magnifying glasses that are fixed in position and cannot be adjusted, making it impossible to flexibly magnify and observe the details of specimens of different positions and sizes, thus limiting visitors' in-depth exploration and understanding.
[0005] 2. The interactivity and experiential aspects are weak. The fixed text and static display methods are relatively monotonous and lack opportunities for visitors to actively operate and explore, making it difficult to effectively stimulate interest, especially for teenagers.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution for an outdoor science popularization sign with a specimen: An outdoor science popularization sign with a specimen includes an outer frame 1 and a movable magnifying glass assembly 7. A front transparent plate 2, a middle transparent plate 3, and a rear transparent plate 4 are vertically arranged on the front, middle, and rear sides of the inner side of the outer frame 1, respectively. A magnifying glass chamber 5 is formed between the front transparent plate 2 and the middle transparent plate 3. The movable magnifying glass assembly 7 is installed inside the magnifying glass chamber 5. A specimen chamber 6 is formed between the middle transparent plate 3 and the rear transparent plate 4, and the specimen is placed inside the specimen chamber 6. The front transparent plate 2 and the rear transparent plate 4 are interlocked with the outer frame 1. By pulling out the front transparent plate 2 or the rear transparent plate 4, the magnifying glass can be opened. The magnifying glass chamber 5 or specimen chamber 6 is used to install, clean, and disassemble the magnifying glass body 712 by opening the magnifying glass chamber 5, and to place and remove the specimen by opening the specimen chamber 6. The specimen is treated with crystal epoxy resin, which is a transparent and curable liquid material. The dried animal and plant specimens (such as insects, flowers, leaves, seeds, feathers, etc.) are encapsulated to form a three-dimensional preservation component with a crystal-like transparent effect, which increases the protection of the specimen and facilitates viewing. The crystal epoxy resin specimen is placed in the specimen chamber 6, and the specimen position is located in the upper part of the specimen chamber 6 to avoid the specimen being blocked by the movable magnifying glass assembly 7.
[0030] A guide ramp 8 is fixed to the rear side of the bottom of the magnifying glass chamber 5. The top of the guide ramp 8 is an inclined surface. The wedge block 714 is vertically aligned with the guide ramp 8. The guide ramp 8 is inclined downwards away from the handle 77. The bottom inclined surface of the wedge block 714 is at the same angle as the guide ramp 8. After the movable magnifying glass 71 moves down, the two rollers 715 at the bottom of the wedge block 714 contact the guide ramp 8 and roll along the inclined surface at the top of the guide ramp 8, so that the movable magnifying glass 71 automatically moves to the bottom of the magnifying glass chamber 5 when not in use. At the corners, and because the guide ramp 8 tilts downward away from the handle 77, the handle 77 and the operating crossbar 76 automatically retract after the movable magnifying glass 71 moves down, preventing the movable magnifying glass 71 from obstructing the specimen and affecting the viewing of the specimen. A gap is provided between the guide ramp 8 and the front transparent plate 2, and the transverse guide rod 72 and the operating crossbar 76 are vertically aligned with this gap, so that when the movable magnifying glass 71 moves down, the transverse guide rod 72 and the operating crossbar 76 do not contact the guide ramp 8, thus preventing the guide ramp 8 from obstructing the downward movement of the transverse guide rod 72 and the operating crossbar 76.
[0031] A vertical groove 9 is provided on the right side wall of the outer frame 1, and the groove 9 is connected to the magnifying glass chamber 5. The operating crossbar 76 passes through the groove 9 and slides vertically along the groove 9.
[0032] A vertical plate 10 is fixed to the top surface of the outer frame 1, and a hanging rope 11 is connected to the top of the vertical plate 10. The front surface of the vertical plate 10 is used to display popular science information about the specimen.
[0033] Please see Figure 4-5 The movable magnifying glass assembly 7 includes a movable magnifying glass 71, a horizontal guide rod 72, a first slider 73, a second slider 74, a vertical guide rod 75, an operating crossbar 76, and a handle 77. The upper and lower sides of the movable magnifying glass 71 slide horizontally along the horizontal guide rod 72. The left and right ends of the horizontal guide rod 72 are fixedly connected to the first slider 73 and the second slider 74, respectively. The interiors of the first slider 73 and the second slider 74 are vertically penetrated by two vertical guide rods 75, and the first slider 73 and the second slider 74 are slidably connected to the two vertical guide rods 75, respectively. The two vertical guide rods 75 are respectively set on the left and right sides inside the magnifying glass chamber 5, and the upper and lower sides of the two vertical guide rods 75 are fixedly connected to the outer frame 1. The right middle part of the movable magnifying glass 71 is fixedly connected to the operating crossbar 76. The operating crossbar 76 passes through the second slider 74, and the right end of the operating crossbar 76 extends out of the outer frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the handle 77.
[0034] The horizontal guide rod 72 is set parallel to the operating crossbar 76. When the handle 77 moves horizontally, the operating crossbar 76 drives the slider 713 of the movable magnifying glass 71 to slide horizontally along the horizontal guide rod 72. When the handle 77 moves vertically, the operating crossbar 76 drives the movable magnifying glass 71, the horizontal guide rod 72, the slider 73 and the slider 74 to move vertically. The slider 73 and the slider 74 slide vertically along the vertical guide rod 75, thus achieving the effect of free movement control of the magnifying glass body 712.
[0035] Please see Figure 6 The movable magnifying glass 71 includes a movable frame 711, a magnifying glass body 712, a slider 713, a wedge block 714, and rollers 715. The magnifying glass body 712 is installed inside the movable frame 711. Slider 713 is provided on both the upper and lower sides of the movable frame 711. The wedge block 714 is fixed to the bottom rear side of the movable frame 711, and rollers 715 are installed on both the left and right sides of the bottom of the wedge block 714. The middle part of the slider 713 on the upper and lower sides of the movable frame 711 is penetrated by a horizontal guide rod 72, and the slider 713 is slidably connected to the horizontal guide rod 72.
[0036] The magnifying glass body 712 includes a magnifying lens and its protective frame. The protective frame of the magnifying glass body 712 is fitted into the movable frame 711, which facilitates the disassembly, replacement and cleaning of the magnifying glass body 712. Different magnification magnifying glasses can be used to adapt to the details required for magnification of different specimens. For example, a high magnification magnifying glass is needed to view the scales of butterfly wings, while a low magnification magnifying glass is sufficient to see the veins of plant leaves.
[0037] When in use, the outdoor science popularization sign with the specimen is hung in the desired position by the hanging rope 11. The viewers can view the specimen in the specimen chamber 6 through the front transparent plate 2 and the middle transparent plate 3. The information of the specimen is displayed through the upright plate 10. The viewers can learn about the specimen through the displayed information, thus achieving the effect of popularizing science about the specimen.
[0038] When it is necessary to magnify the details of the specimen, the magnifying glass body 712 can be moved horizontally and vertically by controlling the horizontal and vertical movement of the handle 77. The magnifying glass body 712 can be moved to the desired position, and the specimen details can be magnified by the magnifying glass body 712, which enhances the visitor's interest and effect in observing the specimen details, and enhances interactivity and observation experience.
[0039] When the magnifying glass body 712 is not in use, the user releases the handle 77, and the movable magnifying glass 71, along with the horizontal guide rod 72, slider one 73, and slider two 74, slides down the vertical guide rail 75 under their own weight. When the two rollers 715 at the bottom of the wedge block 714 of the movable magnifying glass 71 move down to contact the guide ramp 8, the rollers 715 slide down the top surface of the guide ramp 8 due to the weight of the movable magnifying glass 71. Since the guide ramp 8 tilts downward away from the handle 77, the handle 77 and the operating bar 76 automatically retract after the movable magnifying glass 71 moves down. When the movable magnifying glass 71 is not in use, it automatically moves to the corner of the magnifying glass chamber 5, avoiding obstruction of the specimen and affecting the viewing of the specimen. Moreover, it does not require electric drive or power supply, which is beneficial for the outdoor use of specimen popular science signs.
