Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a simulation device based on the magnetic ring storage principle. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as education and science and technology exhibitions, the current demonstrations of old-fashioned computer magnetic ring storage technology are mostly based on pictures, text, or static models. There is a lack of devices that allow users to directly participate and intuitively experience the data storage process. Users find it difficult to understand the correspondence between the magnetic ring state and binary data, as well as the physical process of "writing" and "reading" operations. They cannot gain a deep understanding of this classic storage technology. Therefore, there is a need for an interactive experience device that can simulate the principle of magnetic ring storage. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a simulation device for the magnetic ring storage principle. By allowing user operation to influence the state switching structure of the state storage unit, combined with detection and feedback components, the abstract magnetic ring storage principle is presented in a more intuitive way. This also increases the interaction with learners, enhancing their understanding of the principle.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a simulation device for the magnetic ring storage principle, comprising a state storage unit, a state switching structure, a detection component, and a feedback component, wherein: the state storage unit is used to simulate the magnetic ring in the magnetic ring storage principle; the state switching structure can selectively interact with the state storage unit to switch the state storage unit between a first state and a second state, and the interaction mode between the state switching structure and the state storage unit is used to simulate write or read operations on the magnetic ring; the detection component is connected to the state storage unit and is configured to output a first signal in response to the first state and output a second signal in response to the second state; the feedback component is connected to the detection component and is configured to generate a first perceptible prompt in response to the first signal and generate a second perceptible prompt different from the first perceptible prompt in response to the second signal.

[0005] The state storage units are multiple and arranged in an array.

[0006] The state storage unit is a ring-shaped component.

[0007] The state switching structure is a linear component that can pass through or detach from the annular component.

[0043] This invention provides a simulation device for the magnetic ring storage principle, which solves the problem that existing display methods lack the ability for users to directly participate in and intuitively experience the data storage process.

[0044] Figure 1 The present invention provides a structural diagram of a magnetic ring storage principle simulation device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The magnetic ring storage principle simulation device 1 includes a support 10 and a state storage unit 11, a detection component 12, a feedback component 13 and a state switching structure 14 mounted on the support 10.

[0045] The state storage unit 11 is used to simulate the magnetic ring in the magnetic ring storage principle; the state switching structure 14 can selectively interact with the state storage unit 11 to switch the state storage unit 11 between a first state and a second state. The interaction mode between the state switching mechanism and the state storage unit is used to simulate the write or read operation on the magnetic ring; the detection component 12 is connected to the state storage unit 11 and is used to detect the state of the state storage unit 11. The detection component 12 is configured to output a first signal in response to the first state and output a second signal in response to the second state; the feedback component 13 is connected to the detection component 12 and is configured to generate a first perceptible prompt in response to the first signal and generate a second perceptible prompt different from the first perceptible prompt in response to the second signal.

[0046] In the first embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, the state storage unit 11 is a ring-shaped component 110. The ring-shaped component 110 can be, for example, a metal ring, a plastic ring (materials include 3D-printed ABS / PLA, injection-molded acrylic PMMA, or machined nylon rings), or a composite material ring (e.g., an internal lightweight plastic ring as a skeleton, with an external layer of metal foil, such as aluminum foil, or coated with metallic paint). The state switching structure 14 is a linear component 140 that can pass through or detach from the ring-shaped component 110 to simulate write or read operations on the magnetic ring, respectively. The linear component 140 can be, for example, an opaque rope or wire. The first state is, for example, when the linear component 140 passes through the ring-shaped component 110, such as... Figure 3 The second state is, for example, when the linear member detaches from (i.e., does not pass through) the annular member 110, such as... Figure 2 Multiple ring-shaped components 110 are connected by wires 16.

[0047] The bracket 10 includes at least two vertical bars 100 and multiple horizontal bars 101. The multiple horizontal bars 101 are detachably connected between the two vertical bars 100. The bracket 10 can be made of metal materials such as aluminum profiles, or composite materials such as wood or plastic. Each horizontal bar 101 may have a mounting groove and multiple mounting blocks (not shown in the figure). The mounting groove is a long, horizontally oriented slot on the horizontal bar 101, and the multiple mounting blocks are accommodated within the mounting groove. Alternatively, the annular member 110 can be directly connected to the horizontal bar 101 by threading, welding, riveting, or gluing. The bracket 10 provides support for the entire device. In this embodiment, the number of horizontal bars 101 is three, but this is not a limitation, and can be added or removed according to actual needs.

[0048] In this embodiment, there are multiple annular members 110, which are arranged in an array on multiple crossbars 101. The annular members 110 are fixed to the mounting blocks by fasteners, and the number of annular members 110 can be increased or decreased by increasing or decreasing the number of mounting blocks on the mounting groove.

[0049] In this embodiment, the detection component 12 includes a photoelectric sensor (not shown) mounted on the annular member 110, such as a diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor. The photoelectric sensor is used to detect whether the linear member 140 passes through the annular member 110. When the linear member 140 does not pass through the annular member 110, the photoelectric sensor does not detect an obstruction signal and outputs a second signal, such as a low-level signal. When the linear member 140 passes through the annular member 110, the photoelectric sensor detects an obstruction signal and outputs a first signal, such as a high-level signal. Preferably, the photoelectric sensor is mounted on the inner or outer sidewall of the corresponding annular member 110, with its detection direction facing the central region of the annular member 110, ensuring that the linear member 140 can be effectively detected when it passes through.

[0050] In this embodiment, the feedback component 13 includes a digital tube 130 electrically connected to the photoelectric sensor. The digital tube 130 can display different numbers according to the output signal (including a first signal and a second signal) of the photoelectric sensor. When the photoelectric sensor outputs the second signal, the digital tube 130 displays the number "0", which is a second perceptible prompt, such as... Figure 2 When the photoelectric sensor outputs the first signal, the digital tube 130 displays the number "1", which is the first perceptible prompt, such as... Figure 3 Specifically, each annular component 110 is equipped with a photoelectric sensor and a digital tube 130. Multiple annular components 110 are arranged side by side to form an analog storage unit array, which can simulate the storage of multiple bits of binary data.

[0051] In this embodiment, the simulation device 1 based on the magnetic ring storage principle further includes a control module 14. The control module 14 is connected to the detection component 12 and the feedback component 13. Specifically, the control module 14 is electrically connected to the photoelectric sensor and the digital tube 130, respectively, and is used to receive the detection signal from the photoelectric sensor and control the digital tube 130 to switch the display state. Preferably, the control module 14 uses a 5V independent relay, the output terminal of the photoelectric sensor is connected to the I / O port of the relay, and the digital tube 130 is connected to the I / O port of the relay through a drive circuit.

[0052] In the second embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the feedback component 13 includes an LED screen 131 electrically connected to a photoelectric sensor. The LED screen 131 can display different visual representations based on the output signals (including a first signal and a second signal) of the photoelectric sensor. For example, it can display different numbers, different colors, or different shapes. That is, replacing the digital tube 130 of the first embodiment with the LED screen 131, such as... Figure 5 Replace the original region A with region A1. Figure 5 This invention only shows the replacement of the data tube 130 in region A with the LED screen 131 in region A1. All or some of the digital tubes 130 in other locations are replaced with LED screens 131; this invention does not impose any limitations. Except for the change in the feedback component 13, the other structures are the same as in the first embodiment.

[0053] In the above embodiments, the feedback component 13 is visual feedback. In other embodiments, the feedback component 13 may also be auditory feedback (e.g., sound, speech, tone, etc.) or tactile feedback (e.g., vibration).

[0054] In the third embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the state switching structure 14 is a switchable structure 141, and the state storage unit 11 is a small servo motor. Figure 6(Not shown), the switchable structure 141 is, for example, a rotatable blade mounted on a small servo motor. The specific operation is as follows: the servo motor rotates, causing the blade to enter the optical path of the photoelectric sensor 12, blocking the light and writing "1"; the servo motor rotates again, causing the blade to move out of the optical path, allowing the light to pass through and writing "0". That is, the switchable structure 141 replaces the linear component 140 of the first embodiment, such as... Figure 6 Replace the original region A with region A2. Figure 6 This invention only shows the replacement of linear component 140 in region A with switchable structure 141 in region A2. All or partial replacements of linear components 140 in other locations with switchable structure 141 are not limited by this invention. In the third embodiment, except for changes to the state switching structure 14 and the state storage unit 11, the other structures are the same as in the first embodiment.

[0055] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0056] Highly interactive: Users can directly participate in the simulated data storage process by operating the state switching structure 14, and can intuitively feel the correspondence between data "writing" and "reading", enhancing their understanding of the magnetic ring storage principle;

[0057] The principle simulation is accurate: the ring component 110 simulates the magnetic ring, the linear component 140 simulates the write / read operation, the photoelectric sensor detects the simulated state recognition, and the digital tube 130 or LED screen 131 displays the simulated data storage, which accurately corresponds to the core logic of "magnetic ring state - data value" in the magnetic ring storage.

[0058] Simple structure and easy to implement: The simulation device 1 based on the magnetic ring storage principle has a simple structure, low component cost, and easy assembly, making it suitable for large-scale application in education and exhibition scenarios.

[0059] Good scalability: By setting up multiple state storage units 11 and corresponding detection components 12 and feedback components 13, it can simulate the storage of multi-bit binary data, and can demonstrate more complex storage principles, such as the composition of data units such as bytes and words. It simplifies the demonstration of magnetic ring storage technology for audiences with different knowledge levels, especially students, and fills the gap in interactive educational devices for magnetic ring storage principles.

[0060] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
