中文版:莱洛三角形在线计算器
原理:以边长 w 的等边三角形的每个顶点为圆心、w 为半径画弧,连接另外两个顶点,三段圆弧围成的曲面三角形就是莱洛三角形——最简单的非圆等宽曲线。面积 = 3 个 60° 扇形 − 2 个等边三角形 = 3·(πw²/6) − 2·(√3w²/4) = (π − √3)w²/2 ≈ 0.70477w²;周长由 Barbier 定理给出:任何宽度为 w 的等宽曲线周长都是 πw。等宽性意味着把它放进方形槽里滚动时高度恒定——这正是莱洛三角形成为本茨专利滚压室(Wankel 转子发动机缸体型线近似)与钻方孔夹具几何核心的原因。
步骤:输入宽度 w(等于生成等边三角形的边长),得到面积、周长、与直径为 w 的圆的面积比,并核验等宽性。
示例:w = 1 时面积 = 0.704770923010,周长 = 3.141592653590(恰为 π);面积是直径 1 圆(π/4 ≈ 0.785398163397)的 0.897342209156 倍——它是所有等宽曲线中面积最小的,圆则是面积最大的。
注意事项:w 需为正数;本工具按闭式公式精确计算;等宽曲线的「宽度」指一对平行支撑线之间的距离,莱洛三角形在任意方向的支撑距离都等于 w,但旋转中心到轮廓的距离并不恒定(故不能直接做车轮)。
相关:2.819083692042 为 w = 2 的面积(等比放大 4 倍);9.424777960769 为 w = 3 的周长(等比放大 3 倍);等宽性可用支撑线采样验证。
