Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ball-into-water technology, and in particular to a ball-into-water device. Background Technology

[0002] The "ball entering water experiment" is a simplified model of "object-liquid interaction." It explores general laws such as "buoyancy, resistance, energy conversion, and fluid motion" in a low-cost and easy-to-operate way. It is widely used in scenarios such as "teaching verification," "scientific research," and "engineering simulation." For example, it can quantitatively analyze the relationship between "object shape, surface characteristics, and speed of motion" and liquid resistance: by changing the diameter of the ball, the surface smoothness (such as a smooth glass ball or a rough frosted ball), and the speed at which the ball enters the water, and by combining high-speed cameras and sensors to record the ball's deceleration process and trajectory deviation, the formula for the drag coefficient can be derived, providing basic data for the optimization of the shape of underwater equipment such as submarines, underwater robots, and torpedoes.

[0003] In existing technologies, the ball is usually released manually to fall into the water to complete the ball entry experiment. However, the ball's entry speed is unstable in this way, resulting in inaccurate experimental results. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a device for introducing a small ball into water to solve the problem that manual release of the small ball leads to inaccurate experimental results.

The ball supply tube forms a ball supply channel, which is respectively connected to the storage space and the ball delivery channel.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the ball supply module further includes a spacer that is movably disposed within the storage space to open or close the ball supply channel.

[0012] In an alternative embodiment, the ball supply module further includes a drive mechanism connected to the spacer to drive the spacer to open or close the ball supply channel.

[0013] In one alternative embodiment, the spacer is provided with a ball outlet, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the spacer to move so that the ball outlet is connected to or disconnected from the ball supply channel.

[0014] In an alternative embodiment, the ball-into-water device further includes a support base, on which the ball-launching mechanism is mounted and adjustable.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of an embodiment of the ball-into-water device 10 provided in this application. The ball-into-water device 10 in this embodiment includes a water tank 11, a ball-launching mechanism 12, and a power mechanism 13.

[0021] The water tank 11 is used to hold experimental water, the ball launching mechanism 12 is used to provide experimental balls, and the power mechanism 13 is connected to the ball launching mechanism 12 and is used to generate launching power so that the experimental balls fall into the experimental water under the propulsion of the launching power. Compared with the prior art, the power mechanism 13 can provide precise and stable launching power, so that the ball can enter the water at a precise and stable speed, providing accurate experimental results for the quantitative relationship between water entry speed and drilling depth, water splash size, and energy conversion efficiency.

[0022] Optionally, in this embodiment, the power mechanism 13 is an air compressor. Of course, in other embodiments, other power mechanisms may also be used, and there is no limitation on this.

[0023] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the middle serve mechanism 12. Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of the ball-serving mechanism 12 is shown. The ball-serving mechanism 12 forms a ball-feeding channel 101. The power mechanism 13 is connected to the ball-feeding channel 101 so that the experimental ball falls into the experimental water at a preset entry angle through the ball-feeding channel 101. That is, after the experimental ball provided by the ball-serving mechanism 12 enters the ball-feeding channel 101, the ball-serving power generated by the power mechanism 13 pushes the experimental ball out of the ball-feeding channel 101, so that the experimental ball falls into the experimental water. Compared with manually releasing the ball, since the ball-feeding channel 101 can limit the release path of the experimental ball, it can ensure that the experimental ball can fall into the experimental water at a precise and stable angle, avoiding the situation where the experimental results are incorrect due to angle deviation.

[0024] Optionally, the ball delivery channel 101 includes a first sub-channel 1011 and a second sub-channel 1012. The power mechanism 13 is connected to the first sub-channel 1011, and the second sub-channel 1012 is connected to the first sub-channel 1011 and bent to connect with the first sub-channel 1011.

[0025] In this embodiment, the extension direction of the second sub-channel 1012 is perpendicular to the water inlet surface of the experimental water. That is, after the experimental ball comes out of the second sub-channel 1012, it falls into the experimental water in a vertical direction. Of course, in other embodiments, it can be in other directions. In specific applications, it can be set according to actual needs, and there is no limitation on this.

[0026] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 yes Figure 2The diagram shows the disassembled result of the ball supply module 121. The ball-launching mechanism 12 includes a ball supply module 121 and a ball delivery tube 122. The ball supply module 121 forms a storage space 102 for storing experimental balls, and the ball delivery tube 122 forms the aforementioned ball delivery channel 101. The storage space 102 is connected to the ball delivery channel 101.

[0027] The ball supply module 121 includes a housing 1211 and a ball supply pipe 1212. The housing 1211 has the aforementioned storage space 102 and a ball inlet 103 connected to the storage space 102. The ball supply pipe 1212 has the aforementioned ball supply channel 104, which is connected to the storage space 102 and the ball delivery channel 101.

[0028] Specifically, in practical applications, users can put experimental balls into storage space 102 through ball inlet 103. When a water immersion experiment is required, the experimental ball enters ball supply channel 104 from storage space 102, then enters ball delivery channel 101 from ball supply channel 104, and finally is pushed out of ball delivery channel 101 by power mechanism 13 and falls into experimental water.

[0029] The ball supply module 121 also includes a spacer 1213, which is movably disposed in the storage space 101 to open or close the ball supply channel 104. That is, when a water immersion test is required, the spacer 1213 opens the ball supply channel 104, allowing the experimental ball to enter the ball delivery channel 101 from the storage space 102. When a water immersion test is not required, the spacer 1213 closes the ball supply channel 104, preventing the experimental ball from entering the ball delivery channel 101 from the storage space 102.

[0030] Furthermore, the ball supply module 121 also includes a drive mechanism 1214, which is connected to the spacer 1213 to drive the spacer 1213 to open or close the ball supply channel 104. For example, in this embodiment, the drive mechanism 1214 is a motor, which drives the spacer 1213 to rotate to open or close the ball supply channel 104.

[0031] The spacer 1213 is provided with a ball outlet 105. The drive mechanism 1214 is used to drive the spacer 123 to move so that the ball outlet 105 is connected to or disconnected from the ball supply channel 104. That is, when the ball outlet 105 is connected to the ball supply channel 104, the spacer 1213 opens the ball supply channel 104, and the experimental ball can enter the ball delivery channel 101 from the storage space 102. When the ball outlet 105 is disconnected from the ball supply channel 104, the spacer 1213 closes the ball supply channel 104, and the experimental ball cannot enter the ball delivery channel 101 from the storage space 102.

[0032] Understandably, the experimental ball stored in storage space 102 can be one or more, and users can choose for themselves; there are no restrictions on this.

[0033] Further reading Figure 1 In this embodiment, the ball-into-water device 10 also includes a support base 14. The ball-launching mechanism 12 is mounted on the support base 14 and is adjustable. For example, the ball-launching mechanism 12 can be adjusted relative to the support base 14 by means of sliding connection, rotation connection, etc. With this setting, not only can the angle of the experimental ball entering the water be adjusted, but also the height and position of the experimental ball entering the water can be adjusted, so that the height and position of the experimental ball entering the water are more precise. For example, the experimental ball can enter the water at the same height and position every time, which is convenient for repeated experiments and data collection to meet the needs of quantitative analysis.

[0034] Unlike existing technologies, the ball-into-water device provided in this application includes a water tank, a ball-launching mechanism, and a power mechanism. The water tank is used to hold experimental water, the ball-launching mechanism is used to provide experimental balls, and the power mechanism is connected to the ball-launching mechanism and is used to generate launching power so that the experimental balls fall into the experimental water under the propulsion of the launching power. Compared with existing technologies, the power mechanism can provide precise and stable launching power, enabling the ball to enter the water at a precise and stable speed, providing accurate experimental results for the quantitative relationship between water entry speed and drilling depth, water splash size, and energy conversion efficiency.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
