Description

The invention relates to teaching aids and can be used in individual and group training in the design of electronic circuits and programming algorithms, for laboratory work and demonstration experiments in electrical, radio engineering, electronics and programming, and can also be used to create the design of an electronic light-dynamic product used in everyday life, for example, as a decoration and a means of advertising.

Known educational device in electrical engineering, containing a set of blocks carrying elements of an electric circuit. The blocks are assembled in a three-dimensional or planar structure (see EP 0135633, 1986).

The well-known “Set of elements for assembling electrical circuits”, used as an educational device in electrical engineering, which can also be used as a game for children and consists of a set of interlocking blocks in which the components of the electric circuit are located (see RU 2101773, 1998 )

The well-known "Device for the training assembly of electrical and radio circuits", which is used as a teaching aid and includes a base with fasteners for upstream parts, which in turn are also equipped with fasteners for next-level parts, see USSR author's certificate No. 832575, cl. G09B 23/18, 1977

The implementation of well-known training devices in the form of interlocking units does not give a complete picture of the process of designing electronic circuits and the programming process associated not only with the alignment of circuit elements in a certain sequence, but also with the connection of connecting wires, which will lead to an increase in the dimensions of devices and a decrease in reliability devices.

The closest prototype to the claimed invention is "A universal device for laboratory work and demonstration of experiments in electrical and radio engineering", see copyright certificate No. 173483, class. G09B 23/18, 1969, which contains an insulating board with contact slots. In the slots of the plate, which is the base of the lower level, are installed by means of contact pins of the base, equipped with current-carrying plates, electrical and radio components. This device allows you to collect and explore various electrical and radio circuits. However, this device has limited use and does not provide the study and demonstration of the whole variety of sections of electrical, radio engineering and electronics. In addition, the fastening of the radio components does not provide reliable contacts between them.

The claimed invention is aimed at solving the problem of creating such a universal device for teaching the design of circuits with electrical, electronic and radio elements, which would allow conducting experiments and demonstration experiments on all topics of the training course in electricity, electronics, radio electronics and programming.

The technical result that can be achieved by the implementation of the invention is to expand the operational capabilities of the device, to increase the reliability of the device and ease of use, to reduce the planar dimensions of the device, to ensure, due to this, the possibility of placing the device at each workplace of the student and, as the consequence, in improving the effectiveness of training both with the participation of the teacher in an independent mode, and in reducing the training time.

To achieve the technical result, a device is proposed for teaching the design of electronic circuits and programming algorithms, containing bases connected by detachable connecting elements and provided with conductors, electrical and radio elements, according to the invention it consists of at least two bases made in the form of conductive contacts and conductors of printed circuit boards installed in several levels one above the other and connected by connecting multi-circuit detachable connected elements, each board being a holder of an adjacent level board, one of the bases being made in the form of separate elongated ray-shaped boards that are located in one horizontal plane, and multi-contact detachable connecting elements on each of them are located in the end zone and are connected to multi-contact detachable connecting elements of a neighboring-level board, the connecting elements of which are located along the radii on the surface of the base, made either in the form of a circle, or in the form of any flat geometric shape, with elongated ray-shaped boards located either around the circumference, or concentrated in one or more sectors. The device is equipped with electronic elements, including programmable ones, and electric, radio elements and electronic elements on each board can be installed on both its upper and lower surfaces. Printed circuit boards are made of foil material, such as fiberglass. The device is equipped with a cap mounted on a board of one of the levels.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, where figure 1 shows the proposed device, front view; figure 2 is the same, a top view, figure 3 is a view along arrow A of figure 1 with the elongated boards of the radial shape removed.

The proposed device contains a base 1, 2, 3, 4, made in the form of boards that are installed in several levels, one above the other. Each base is made in the form of a printed circuit board and is equipped with conductive contacts, conductors and multi-contact detachable connecting elements 5. One of the bases 1 is made in the form of separate elongated boards 6 of a beam shape, with each of these beam-shaped boards multi-contact detachable connecting elements 5 located in their end zone 7. The remaining bases 2, 3, 4 are made monolithic, in the form of a monolithic circle. However, it is possible to perform these bases in the form of any flat geometric figure. On the surface of each board on either side are installed electrical, radio elements, electronic elements 8, such as capacitors, resistances, photocells, LEDs, inductances, microphones and others, including analog and digital microcircuits, including programmable ones.

In addition, multi-pin detachable connecting elements 5 are installed on each board, through which they are formed into a multi-level figure. So for connecting elongated boards 6 of a radial shape with the board 2 of the adjacent level, multi-contact detachable connecting elements 5 on this board 2 are located along the radii, see Fig. 3, view along arrow A of Fig. 1. There can be an unlimited number of elongated ray-shaped boards and other neighboring-level boards, but for the convenience of working with programming elements, it is practical to use eight or sixteen extended boards, and the use of no more than four levels is practical in height.

There are several options for boards of any level, for example, certain boards of level 1, 2, 3 are installed, and there are several options for installed boards of level 4, while boards of level 4 are interchangeable and each of them is used in accordance with its educational task in accordance with the guidelines . With the advent of new learning tasks, new board options for each level can be created.

Each board is a holder (carrier), i.e. the place of installation of boards of the neighboring level by means of multi-contact detachable connecting elements

Printed circuit boards are made of foil material, such as fiberglass.

The device kit also includes a predominantly transparent cap 9, which is mounted on top in the central part of the device and fixed on one of the bases.

The device is assembled as follows. In accordance with the guidelines and the corresponding set of the number of boards with conductors, conductive contacts, multi-contact detachable connecting elements, students install the necessary electronic, electrical, radio elements on printed circuit boards or use boards with already installed elements. By means of multi-contact detachable connecting elements, the general structure is assembled into a common electronic circuit, its adjustment is made, and, if necessary, the necessary programming elements are installed (recorded). The correct assembly and operation of the circuit is judged by the correct operation of the display elements. Various variants of the device can be obtained from the radial-shaped boards, for example, by setting them uniformly distributed around the circumference or concentrating them in a certain sector, i.e. due to the different design of the bases in the form of boards and their different placement relative to each other, it is possible to change the overall figure of the device.

After assembling and checking the circuit to obtain the appearance of a finished electronic product, a cap 9 is installed that covers the central part of the device. A board of any level can have several circuit options. The set of boards can be expanded when designing new circuits or when new electronic, electrical, and radio elements appear, including when new programmable microcircuits appear.

Using the proposed device allows, through sequential and simple connections of various elements on the board, which is part of the overall design, to interest students in the process of creating various electronic and electronic circuits, significantly increase the number of assembled work circuits, gain programming skills, create simple and complex programming algorithms, while one of the purposes of this may be to obtain a complete electronic product.
