Description
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a sundial field especially relates to a game table formula horizon sundial.
Background
The measurement of time and space by using the natural law of the change of the sun shadow is a long-history world-learning method invented by human beings, and the Chinese yerba mate is a representative of the astronomical instrument for measuring the change law of the sun shadow. According to the civilization term written by Mr. Von of Ming-Shi school of society and academy of sciences of China: introduced in the ancient astronomy, thought and system, the ancestors of Chinese nationalities have been scientifically and technically active, such as solar term measurement and azimuth measurement, by using the guy-gay, eight thousand years ago at least. The technology of measuring the sunset generally passes through three stages of human body shadow measurement, upright rod shadow measurement and building platform shadow measurement, the surface height is gradually increased, the measurement precision is higher and higher, and people know the time change and the space direction more and more accurately, so that the scientific basis is further laid for the production of the ancient agricultural society. As productivity develops, people have a finer division of time, and besides the calendar of the year, month and day, it is necessary to subdivide the day into different time blocks, which is the origin of the time of day, and the earliest tool for measuring the time of day is the guy list. This type of guy for measuring time was later called a terrestrial sundial. Because the staff of the guy square is vertical to the horizontal plane of the place, the change speed of the shadow of the sun in one day is not uniform, and because of the existence of the yellow-red angle of the earth, the length of the shadow of the sun also changes in one year, which limits the accuracy of time on the scale of measuring the time of day. The ancient people have long found that the sun rotates around the north polar, as well as other celestial bodies, so that in order to improve the time measurement accuracy, the ancient people point the watch rod of the gnomon to the position of the north polar, the watch rod is parallel to the rotation axis of the earth, the dial plane of the gnomon is parallel to the equatorial plane of the earth, and the inclined image measuring instrument is called an equatorial sundial. The change speed of the sun shadow on the equatorial sundial is uniform, and the reading is convenient, so that the common sundial is generally the equatorial sundial at present.
The scientific research on the natural law of human beings has never been stopped, and the time measuring principle of the terrestrial sundial is also known and mastered by people along with the progress of astronomy and mathematics. Approximately 500 years ago, a teacher in france mathematically derived a scientific method for measuring the hour using the xie-biao principle, and in 2006, an zheng-fan teacher in the teaching and research room of the education office in zhongshan city of guangdong province redacted to "study on the principle of projecting the sun clock (human sundial) on the human body and the calculation method of the sundial carving in the book of the research and discussion of the astronomical education seminar" in yue hong kong and australian. Zhengyifan indicates that the dial plate for identifying the time of day has an elliptical shape, but a dial rod generating a shadow cannot be fixed and needs to move along the meridian direction within a certain range, so that the dial plate is a swimming type horizontal sundial. The tourist watch stands on the meridian line according to the date, the intersection point of the watch shadow and the hour ellipse is the current time, and the time is only related to the direction of the watch shadow and is not related to the length of the watch shadow, namely the height of the watch rod. If the meridian line moved by the tourist watch is called as the guy square, the length is L, the latitude of the guy square is W, the length of the long half shaft of the ellipse circle of the hour is a = L ÷ cosW, the length of the short half shaft is b = L × tgW, the declination of the sun at the time of image measurement is C, the solar hour angle is S, the center of the guy square is used as the origin, the east direction is used as the positive abscissa direction, and the north direction is used as the positive ordinate direction, a plane rectangular coordinate system is established, then the watch rod should be erected at a coordinate point (0, L × tgC) on the image measurement day, and the intersection point coordinate of the watch image and the hour circle is (a × sinS, b × cosS). The principle is the time measurement principle of the game table type sundial.
Today, the time service practicability of sundials is greatly reduced, but natural scientific knowledge such as astronomy and geography contained in sundials is still important content of modern scientific education, and human social knowledge such as historical culture contained in guy watches and even sundials has important edification significance for people to know the past thinking future. Particularly, the measurement day shadow scientific technology represented by astronomical instruments such as the Chinese guy table directly forms the original concept, forms the Chinese concept, forms the middle-quality way, forms the middle-quality and neutral philosophy, forms the cultural traditions such as the twenty-four solar terms and the like, deeply influences the thinking mode and the behavior habit of Chinese nationalities in the fields of time, space, politics and philosophy, and is an important carrier and an important platform of cultural inheritance for Chinese national cultural acceptance. The swimming type horizontal sundial needs to move the staff on different dates, if the body of a person is taken as the staff, the natural movement requirement just brings interactive pleasure, and the swimming type horizontal sundial also returns to the early age of body shadow measuring in the legend of 'Quepfather pursuit' in form. Therefore, the game surface type horizontal sundial is considered to be a very good popular science carrier, has an inexplicable form of integration of the heaven and the human, has rich scientific culture connotation, and plays an active role in enhancing the scientific quality of the whole people and enhancing the confidence of the whole people culture today when emphasizing the science and technology prosperity. Only, the relevant geometric data of the game table type horizon and sundial is relevant to the longitude and latitude of the place, and the actual size of the time circle ellipse can be correctly used only by calculating according to the local coordinates, so that the application range is limited, and the manufacturing cost is increased to a certain extent. The requirement on the time measurement precision is high, and the application range of the watch type horizontal and solar dial with the same specification is small; the requirement on the time measurement precision is not high, and the application range of the game table type sundial with the same specification is a little larger. Therefore, while ensuring a certain time measurement accuracy, the design of a universal swimming table type horizontal and sundial form nationwide becomes a current need.
