Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of physical experiment demonstration technology, and in particular to a Galileo orbit experiment demonstration device. Background Technology

[0002] The Galileo Orbit is an interactive physics experiment exhibit primarily used to demonstrate the effect of an object's descent path on its velocity, helping visitors understand the brachistochrone principle in physics. The exhibit consists of an adjustable, smooth track, a small trolley, a timing induction device, and a touchscreen display. Visitors can design the trolley's descent path and release the electromagnet at the front of the trolley via the touchscreen display, causing the trolley to fall. Two independent experimental mechanisms are located on either side of the exhibit, allowing for individual experiments or competitions between two people. Existing technologies primarily use fixed tracks to demonstrate the brachistochrone principle, such as lowering a trolley along a predetermined path on a pre-set track to compare the impact of different track shapes on descent time. This approach typically relies on a fixed mechanical design, lacking flexibility and interactivity.

[0003] The drawbacks of existing technology 1 include: Unadjustable track: The fixed track shape prevents viewers from freely designing and adjusting the descent path of the vehicle, limiting the flexibility and exploratory nature of the experiment. Lack of real-time data feedback: The failure to provide real-time timing and data display prevents viewers from instantly comparing the effects of different paths. Single operating mode: Typically only supports single-person operation, lacking multi-person competition capabilities, reducing interactivity and fun. Technologically closed: It does not integrate modern electronic and interactive technologies, failing to achieve intelligent and dynamic displays of the exhibits.

[0004] The second type of existing technology consists of interactive physics experimental devices, which demonstrate basic physical phenomena through simple mechanical devices or sensor technology. However, these devices typically lack flexible track adjustment and multi-player competition capabilities. For example, some devices may only support switching between fixed tracks or have only basic timing functions, making it impossible to achieve complex path design and real-time data analysis.

[0005] The shortcomings of existing technology two are: lack of flexibility: although basic interactive operations are possible, it does not allow viewers to freely design and adjust the track path, limiting the depth and diversity of the experiment. Insufficient data feedback: it fails to provide real-time data recording and historical comparison functions, affecting the analysis and discussion of experimental results. Lack of competition functionality: it cannot support multiple participants and competitions, reducing the exhibit's fun and appeal. Insufficient technology integration: it does not organically combine multiple advanced technologies (such as touch displays, electromagnetic control, etc.), resulting in overall functional limitations. Therefore, a Galileo orbit experiment demonstration device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the aforementioned technical defects.

[0007] Therefore, one objective of this invention is to provide a Galileo orbital experiment demonstration device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of the present invention provides a Galileo orbit experiment demonstration device, including a body, a touch screen, a guide rod, and guide rails. The touch screen is fixedly connected to the front of the body, and the guide rod is fixedly connected to the side of the body. The guide rod is arranged horizontally, and several guide rails are movably connected to the guide rod. An electromagnet is fixedly connected to the side of the machine body, and a small trolley is attracted to the side of the electromagnet. At least two sets of rails are fixedly connected to the side of the electromagnet, and photoelectric sensors are fixedly connected to both ends of the rails. The trolley is movably connected to the rails, and the attitude of the rails is adjustable. The outer surface of the guide rail is movably connected to a node, and the side of the node is threaded with a fastening pin, the end of which abuts against the surface of the rail. The node has guide grooves on both sides, and the cross-sectional shape of the guide grooves is T-shaped. A slider is movably connected in the guide groove, and a movable column is movably connected to the side of the slider. The end of the movable column is movably connected to the side of the track, and a fastener is threaded onto the outer surface of the movable column and is fastened to the surface of the node.

[0009] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, the guide rod is horizontally positioned and perpendicular to the guide rail.

[0010] Preferably, of any of the above solutions, the guide rod is made of aluminum alloy, and the end of the guide rod is connected to the machine body by screws.

Specific objectives are as follows: Provide an adjustable, smooth track, allowing audiences to freely design the descent path of the cart. Automatic release of the cart via a touchscreen display and electromagnets facilitates audience operation. Real-time timing and data feedback help audiences compare descent times for different paths.

[0017] Audiences can adjust the shape of the track by using nodes to design different descent paths. The trolley descends along the track with a low-friction design to ensure experimental accuracy. The inductive timing device uses a photoelectric sensor to monitor the time it takes for the trolley to pass specific points in real time and transmits the data to a touchscreen display. The touchscreen display control system allows viewers to release the trolley's electromagnet via the touchscreen, while simultaneously viewing real-time timing data and historical records. The electromagnetic control system releases the electromagnet upon receiving a signal from the touchscreen, causing the trolley to fall. The mechanical transmission system ensures a stable connection and smooth movement between the trolley and the track.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The device includes a guide rod 3, a guide rail 4, a node 14, and a track 7. The guide rod 3 is horizontally fixed to the side of the body 1. The guide rail 4 is movably connected to the guide rod 3 and its position is adjustable. The node 14 is movably connected to the outer surface of the guide rail 4. The track 7 is movably connected to the node 14 via a movable column 12, and the attitude of the track 7 is adjustable. The height of the node 14 on the track 7 is also adjustable. Viewers can freely design the shape of the track 7 by adjusting the position of the node 14 on the guide rail 4, the height of the node 14 on the track 7, and the attitude of the track 7, thus designing different descent paths for the small trolley 6. The small trolley 6 has a low-friction design and is attracted to the side of the electromagnet 5. When the electromagnet 5 is released, the small trolley 6 can smoothly descend along the track 7 designed by the viewer, ensuring that the friction has a minimal impact on the movement of the small trolley 6 during the experiment, guaranteeing the accuracy of the experimental results, and enabling the experiment to more accurately reflect the influence of different paths on the descent time of the small trolley 6, thereby helping viewers understand the brachistochrone principle.

[0030] The device is equipped with a touch screen display 2 and an electromagnet 5. The touch screen display 2 constitutes the touch display control system. Viewers can send signals to the electromagnet 5 through the touch screen display 2. After receiving the signal, the electromagnet 5 releases, and the small trolley 6, which was originally attached to the side of the electromagnet 5, then falls down and begins to descend along the track 7. This realizes the automatic release of the small trolley 6, making it convenient for viewers to operate and enhancing the interactive experience.

[0031] Photoelectric sensors 8 are fixedly connected to both ends of track 7, forming a timing device. When the trolley 6 descends along track 7 and passes through specific points at both ends of track 7, the photoelectric sensors 8 can monitor the passage of the trolley 6 in real time and transmit the time data of the trolley 6 passing through the specific points to the touch screen 2 for display. By recording the time it takes for the trolley 6 to pass through both ends of track 7, the time taken for the trolley 6 to descend along different paths can be calculated, thus helping the audience compare the descent time of different paths and intuitively understand the impact of different paths on the movement time of the trolley 6.

[0032] The touchscreen display 2 not only controls the release of the small trolley 6, but also displays the timing data transmitted from the photoelectric sensor 8 in real time, as well as historical records. During the experiment, viewers can instantly see the time it takes for the small trolley 6 to pass specific points and the descent time under different paths, facilitating data comparison and analysis and deepening their understanding of the brachistochrone principle. The device is interactive, allowing viewers to actively participate in experimental design and operation. By adjusting the shape of the track 7, different descent paths can be designed, and then the touchscreen display 2 can be used to control the release of the small trolley 6, observing and recording experimental data. Furthermore, the device offers a multi-player competition mode. Through independent experimental mechanisms and data comparison functions, different viewers can conduct experiments simultaneously, comparing the descent time of the small trolley 6 under their respective designed paths, increasing the fun and interactivity of the experiment. It is suitable for team or family participation, further enhancing viewers' learning interest and desire for exploration.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: This Galileo orbit experiment demonstration device features an adjustable linear position of guide rail 4 on guide rod 3, and an adjustable vertical position of node 14 on guide rail 4. Node 14 is movably connected to a point on track 7 via guide groove 10, slider 11, and movable column 12. Track 7 is flexible, and the cooperation of multiple nodes 14 allows for flexible adjustment of the track 7's attitude. Fastening pin 9 and fastener 13 are then used to lock the attitude of track 7. An adjustable, smooth track is provided, allowing viewers to freely design the descent path of the cart. Automatic release of the cart is achieved via touch display 2 and electromagnet 5, facilitating viewer operation. Real-time timing and data feedback are provided to help viewers compare descent times for different paths. A multi-player competition mode is offered to increase interactive fun.
