本文揭示和解释了日食和月食的一种机制--算盘机制的综合，利用它可以足够准确地预测和确定日食和月食的日期。利用Solid Works软件建立了该机械装置的三维模型，并对其运行过程进行了仿真，验证了其预测的准确性。这项工作主要对三维建模、机构综合和仿真领域的教育具有重要意义。此外，日食算盘是教授天文学课程的有趣之处，因为它可以简单而清晰地演示日食和月食。
This paper exposes and explains the synthesis of a mechanism, the Eclipses Abacus, by which the date of solar and lunar eclipses can be predicted and determined sufficiently accurately. Moreover, a three-dimensional (3D) model of this mechanical device is created by using Solid Works application and the simulation of its operation is accomplished by which the accuracy of its predictions can be demonstrated and inspected. This work is significant mainly for education in the field of 3D modeling, mechanism synthesis, and simulation. Moreover, the Eclipses Abacus is interesting for teaching courses in astronomy since it can demonstrate solar and lunar eclipses simply and clearly.
