Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of liquid metal experimental devices, and in particular to a liquid metal experimental device that is easy to clean. Background Technology
[0002] Employing a patented composite structure of a magnetic layer (such as flexible magnetic adhesive) and a metal layer, the display panel can both attract magnetic objects and guide the movement of liquid metal through a magnetic field. For example, embedding a Helmholtz coil assembly on the back of the display panel allows for dynamic adjustment of the magnetic field strength and direction, enabling three-dimensional spatial control of the liquid metal. Using glass or acrylic materials facilitates observation of the liquid metal's flow trajectory while protecting the internal circuitry and liquid metal from contamination.
[0003] By using magnetic attraction technology to move liquid metal on a display panel, a dynamic visual interactive system can be constructed. Its core lies in combining the fluidity of liquid metal with the precise control of magnetic fields. By using magnetic attraction to drive liquid metal on a transparent display panel, it forms constantly changing three-dimensional structures, such as flowing metal rivers or abstract geometric shapes. This can be used for interactive exhibitions in art galleries or science museums, as well as to intuitively demonstrate physical principles such as electromagnetic induction and Lorentz force by showing the movement of liquid metal in a magnetic field, helping students understand abstract concepts.
[0004] The liquid metal experimental device has the following drawbacks: during the experiment, the liquid metal flows along with the magnets on the back plate as the magnets are moved. However, during the movement, scattered liquid metal tends to adhere to the display plate, which is difficult for personnel to touch and thus difficult to clean, affecting the next experiment. Therefore, a liquid metal experimental device that is easy to clean is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

A limit plate is fixedly connected to the right outer wall of the movable plate, a compression spring is fixedly connected to the left outer wall of the movable plate, and a clamping plate is fixedly connected to the front outer wall of the storage slot.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: a frosted pad is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the adjustment plate, and the length of the sliding frame is adapted to the width of the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the scraper contacts the front outer wall of the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate, and the end of the telescopic spring away from the scraper is fixedly connected to the front inner wall of the sliding frame.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the outer diameter of the viewing window is adapted to the outer diameter of the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate, the protective cover contacts the outer walls of the left and right sides of the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate, and the inner diameter of the storage rack is adapted to the width of the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: a steel sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the limiting plate, and the limiting plate penetrates the inner right side wall of the protective cover.

[0022] 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.
[0023] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a liquid metal experimental device that is easy to clean. It includes a liquid metal acrylic experimental plate 1, a magnetic suction component 2, and a support 3. The magnetic suction component 2 contacts the rear outer wall of the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate 1. LED beads are fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate 1. When the liquid metal flows to a designated position, it can conduct electricity and illuminate the LED beads, thereby visually demonstrating the excellent conductivity of the liquid metal. Different patterns can be displayed through specific arrangements of the LED beads. The above mechanism is prior art and will not be described in detail here. The bracket 3 is fixedly connected to the rear outer wall of the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate 1. A cleaning mechanism 4 and an auxiliary mechanism 5 are provided on the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate 1. The cleaning mechanism 4 includes an L-shaped groove 41, which is located on the bottom inner wall of the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate 1. A collection rack 42 is attached to the bottom outer wall of the L-shaped groove 41. The collection rack 42 is used to collect the liquid metal scraped off by the scraper 47, preventing the liquid metal from spilling and polluting the environment. A protective cover 43 is snapped onto the top outer wall of the collection rack 42. A viewing window 432 is fixedly connected to the front inner wall of the protective cover 43. The viewing window 432 is made of transparent material. To facilitate the experimenter's observation of the liquid metal experiment under protective conditions, a slide 44 is provided on the right inner wall of the protective cover 43. A sliding frame 45 is slidably connected to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the slide 44. An adjustment plate 46 is fixedly connected to the outer right side of the sliding frame 45. A scraper 47 is slidably connected to the inner rear side of the sliding frame 45. The sliding connection allows the scraper 47 to adhere tightly to the surface of the experimental plate under the action of the telescopic spring 48, ensuring a cleaning effect. A telescopic spring 48 is fixedly connected to the outer front side of the scraper 47. The scraper 47 contacts the outer front side of the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate 1. The end of the telescopic spring 48 away from the scraper 47 is fixedly connected to the inner front side of the sliding frame 45.
[0024] Reference Figures 2-4 A frosted pad is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the adjustment plate 46. The frosted pad increases the friction between the hand and the adjustment plate 46 to prevent slippage during operation. The length of the sliding frame 45 is adapted to the width of the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate 1. The outer diameter of the viewing window 432 is adapted to the outer diameter of the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate 1, ensuring that the experimenter can observe the entire experimental area on the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate 1 through the viewing window 432 without affecting the field of view. The protective cover 43 contacts the outer walls of the left and right sides of the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate 1. The inner diameter of the storage rack 42 is adapted to the width of the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate 1.
[0025] Reference Figures 3-4The auxiliary mechanism 5 includes a movable plate 51, which is slidably connected to the top inner wall of the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate 1. A limit plate 52 is fixedly connected to the right outer wall of the movable plate 51, and a compression spring 53 is fixedly connected to the left outer wall of the movable plate 51. A retaining plate 54 is fixedly connected to the front outer wall of the storage rack 42. The retaining plate 54 is inserted into the protective cover 43 to enhance the connection stability between the storage rack 42 and the protective cover 43 and prevent them from separating. A steel sleeve is fixedly connected to the side outer wall of the limit plate 52. The steel sleeve enhances the structural strength and wear resistance of the limit plate 52 and extends its service life. The limit plate 52 penetrates the right inner wall of the protective cover 43, and the retaining plate 54 penetrates the front outer wall of the protective cover 43. The end of the compression spring 53 away from the movable plate 51 is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate 1. Silicone pads are fixedly connected to the left and right outer walls of the movable plate 51. The silicone pads increase the friction between the hand and the movable plate 51, making it convenient for the experimenter to manually pull the movable plate 51.
[0026] Working principle: The magnetic suction component 2 moves the liquid metal on the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate 1. After the experiment, liquid metal remains on the surface of the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate 1. Pulling the adjustment plate 46 moves the sliding frame 45 downward, which in turn moves the scraper 47. The scraper 47 scrapes the surface of the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate 1, causing the liquid metal to fall into the storage tank 42. No personnel need to touch the liquid metal for cleaning. At the same time, the protective cover 43 protects the liquid metal from external dust and impurities. When maintenance, replacement, or cleaning is required, pulling the movable plate 51 moves the limiting plate 52, which separates from the inner right wall of the protective cover 43. Then, the protective cover 43 is pushed down to separate from the liquid metal acrylic experimental plate 1. Finally, pulling the storage tank 42 pulls out the retaining plate 54 from the inner front wall of the protective cover 43, making it easy to separate multiple components for personnel to replace and maintain.
[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. 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.
