Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of teaching experimental equipment, and mainly to an internally heated integrated gas experiment law exploration instrument. Background Technology
[0002] As core knowledge in the field of thermodynamics in physics, the experimental laws of gases involve fundamental concepts such as Boyle-Marie's law, Charles's law, and Gay-Lussac's law. These laws are extremely important for understanding the properties of gases, the laws governing the motion of microscopic particles, and thermal phenomena. In high school and even university physics teaching, these laws have always been important teaching points. Exploring the relationship between gas pressure, volume, and temperature through experiments not only helps students deepen their understanding of theoretical knowledge but also cultivates their scientific inquiry abilities and experimental skills, stimulating their interest in physics.
[0003] Existing instruments for exploring gas laws have several shortcomings. Firstly, traditional instruments typically consist of multiple discrete components, such as syringes, sensors, and data acquisition units. These components are prone to airtightness issues during connection, leading to significant deviations in experimental data. Secondly, existing instruments often use water bath heating or simple external heating methods, which cannot achieve precise temperature control and uniform heating of the gas, making it difficult to meet the high temperature requirements of experiments such as isothermal experiments. Furthermore, some instruments have limited data acquisition accuracy, making it difficult to obtain high-precision experimental data, and the data processing process is cumbersome, affecting the effectiveness and efficiency of experimental teaching. Some instruments can only conduct experiments exploring a single gas law, offering limited functionality and failing to meet diverse teaching needs.
[0004] In conclusion, developing a novel gas experiment law exploration instrument that effectively addresses the shortcomings of existing instruments, such as poor airtightness, inaccurate temperature control, low data acquisition precision, and limited functionality, is of paramount importance for improving the quality and effectiveness of physics experiment teaching. This will not only help students better understand and master the core concepts of gas experiment laws, enhancing their scientific literacy and experimental skills, but also provide more efficient and reliable experimental tools for physics teaching, promoting the development and innovation of physics experiment teaching, and further advancing the field of education. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems of poor airtightness, inaccurate temperature control, low data acquisition precision, and limited functionality in existing gas experimental law research instruments, this application proposes an internally heated integrated gas experimental law research instrument to solve these problems.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] An integrated gas experiment law investigation instrument with internal heating includes a gas chamber, a control component, and a monitoring device. The gas chamber includes a main gas chamber and a secondary gas chamber, which are connected by a three-way valve. Each gas chamber is equipped with a push-pull piston, and the push-pull piston is equipped with a matching positioning device. A heating device is installed in the main gas chamber, which includes a heating element, a heat dissipation element, and a pressure and temperature sensor. The heating element, the heat dissipation element, and the pressure and temperature sensor are electrically connected to the control component. The monitoring device is communicatively connected to the control component.
[0008] This experimental apparatus employs a unique dual-chamber structure, comprising a main chamber and a secondary chamber. The main chamber features an internal heating device that enables precise temperature control, ensuring uniform temperature distribution and reducing experimental errors caused by uneven temperature distribution. The secondary chamber is used for gas volume adjustment and buffering. Furthermore, the apparatus cleverly connects the main and secondary chambers using a three-way valve. By switching the valve's state and adjusting it in conjunction with a push-pull piston, rapid switching between experiments on the three gas laws can be achieved. This compact and easy-to-operate apparatus significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of experimental teaching, providing a more efficient and reliable tool for teaching and experimenting with gas laws.
[0009] Preferably, the volume of the main air chamber is greater than the volume of the auxiliary air chamber.
[0010] More preferably, the volume ratio of the main air chamber to the auxiliary air chamber is 10 to 24:1.
[0011] The main gas chamber is the primary gas storage and reaction space, responsible for containing most of the experimental gases and equipped with a built-in heating device for precise temperature control. The larger volume of the main gas chamber helps ensure a uniform gas temperature distribution and reduces temperature gradients, thus providing a stable temperature environment for isothermal experiments. Simultaneously, the larger volume of the main gas chamber also allows for smoother pressure changes when adjusting the gas volume in the secondary gas chamber, facilitating accurate measurements.
[0012] The auxiliary chamber is connected to the main chamber via a three-way valve and is mainly used to adjust the gas volume to achieve gas volume changes under isobaric experimental conditions. The smaller volume of the auxiliary chamber allows the experimenter to increase or decrease the pressure inside the chamber by making small changes in gas volume, thereby quickly adjusting the system volume to meet the requirements of isobaric experiments without disrupting the stability of the gas in the main chamber.
[0013] Designing the main gas chamber to have a larger volume than the secondary gas chamber ensures that the main chamber dominates the experiment, maintaining the stability of the gas state and the reliability of the experimental data. This structure allows the main gas chamber to provide a stable gas environment, while the secondary gas chamber serves as an auxiliary adjustment tool, flexibly changing the system volume to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of the experiment. This clear distinction between primary and secondary chambers not only enhances the applicability and versatility of the experimental apparatus, enabling it to adapt to various gas law experiments, but also facilitates teaching demonstrations and student understanding, helping them to more intuitively grasp the experimental principles and operational methods of gas laws.
[0014] Preferably, the tail of the push-pull piston is provided with a positioning pin, which is snap-fitted to the positioning device. This structural design ensures that the push-pull piston moves smoothly and precisely within the gas chamber, thereby enabling accurate adjustment of the gas volume. Simultaneously, the snap-fit connection between the positioning pin and the positioning device firmly fixes the position of the push-pull piston, effectively preventing unnecessary movement during the experiment and significantly reducing errors introduced by changes in the piston's position.
[0015] More preferably, the positioning device includes a fishbone positioner or a stepping pin base. Both the fishbone positioner and the stepping pin base provide high-precision positioning, allowing experimenters to quickly and accurately position the push-pull piston to the desired location. This not only improves the repeatability and reliability of the experiment but also simplifies the experimental procedure and saves experimental time.
[0016] Preferably, a piston anti-detachment mechanism is detachably provided at the opening of the gas chamber. When the gas in the gas chamber expands due to heat, the piston rebounds, or the piston is accidentally pulled, the anti-detachment mechanism forms a mechanical hard block to prevent the piston from being pushed out by the high-pressure gas and causing injury.
[0017] Preferably, the air chamber is transparent, and the outer wall of the air chamber is provided with scale lines along the pushing and pulling direction of the push-pull piston.
[0018] Preferably, a rubber sealing ring is provided at the connection between the three-way valve and the gas chamber. During the experiment, the rubber sealing ring undergoes self-tightening deformation, effectively filling the tiny gap at the connection between the three-way valve and the gas chamber, preventing gas leakage. This ensures the accuracy of the gas volume and pressure within the gas chamber, avoids experimental data deviations caused by leakage, and improves the reliability of the experimental results.
[0019] Preferably, the control component includes a display screen, function buttons, and indicator lights. The display screen can show real-time information such as the air pressure and temperature inside the chamber, as well as the name of the current gas law being tested, allowing experimenters to easily monitor the experimental progress and record and analyze data. The function buttons facilitate various operations and controls on the instrument, such as starting, stopping, and setting parameters, improving ease of operation and efficiency. The indicator lights provide intuitive information about the instrument's operating status and alarm messages, helping experimenters quickly identify the equipment's condition and reduce operational errors. Through the coordinated operation of these components, experimenters can perform experiments more efficiently, monitor the experimental status in real time, and promptly handle abnormal situations, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the experiment and the reliability of the data.
[0020] Preferably, the device also includes a power supply that powers the control unit and the heating device. The control unit and heating device are the core components of the experimental apparatus. A stable power supply ensures that the control unit can accurately control and monitor various parameters during the experiment, such as air pressure and temperature. Simultaneously, the heating device can stably provide heat according to a preset program, ensuring precise control and uniform distribution of the gas temperature.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] (1) The internal heating integrated gas law experiment explorer of this application integrates the experimental functions of three gas laws into one by constructing a "dual gas chamber three-way valve structure". It can complete different types of gas law experiments without replacing the experimental device or reconnecting the equipment. Moreover, the explorer has a compact structure and small size, which reduces the space occupied by the equipment compared with the traditional multiple independent experimental devices.
[0023] (2) The internal heating integrated gas experimental law exploration instrument of this application achieves precise control of gas temperature through a built-in heating device, and with the help of heat dissipation components, ensures that the gas temperature is uniform and stable, reducing experimental errors caused by temperature fluctuations.
[0024] (3) The internal heating integrated gas experiment law exploration instrument of this application realizes the precise adjustment of gas volume through the piston stepping positioning system (positioning device + positioning pin) and can fix the push-pull piston in the set position to ensure the accurate measurement and control of gas volume, thereby improving the accuracy of experimental data.
