At the same time, there is no need to open the box door 2, which prevents external insects from entering the box body 1 and affecting the scientific research data.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a rotating mechanism 6 is movably installed in the middle of the top inner wall of the box body 1, and a number of lithium batteries 7 are fixedly installed on both sides of the rotating mechanism 6. A camera 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating mechanism 6; the camera 5 is a forsafe H885 model camera, and the camera 5 can take pictures regularly during the day, and the cycle of taking pictures is 24 hours. The rotating mechanism 6 includes two parallel fixed frames 62, and the fixed frame 62 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of the top of the box body 1. A first stepper motor 61 is rotatably installed on one side of the fixed frame 62, and the first stepper motor 61 is fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the box body 1.

When scientific researchers need to go out on business trips, they set the camera 5 to take pictures at a fixed time. The first stepper motor 61 rotates a certain number of times to drive the rotating shaft 63 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 63 drives the active bevel gear 68 to rotate, and then drives the camera 5 to change the horizontal rotation angle through the two meshing bevel gears. At the same time, the second stepper motor 69 rotates, driving the rotating frame 64 to rotate, and the rotating frame 64 drives the connecting part 65 to rotate, thereby changing the angle of the camera 5 perpendicular to the horizontal direction, so that the camera can shoot at a larger angle and a wider range. The photos saved in the memory card are convenient for scientific researchers to observe, and the data is more accurate and comprehensive.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, a placement portion 8 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of the box body 1, and a watering bucket 9 is arranged in the placement portion 8. The top of the watering bucket 9 is frictionally connected to the water filling port 4, and the end of the water filling port 4 away from the watering bucket 9 passes through the outer wall of one side of the box body 1. The watering bucket 9 is a cylindrical structure and a handle is fixedly installed on one side.

[0026] like Figure 3-5As shown, the placement portion 8 includes a placement table 81, a semicircular arc-shaped limit frame 82 is fixedly installed on the top of the placement table 81, two arc-shaped limit plates 83 are slidably sleeved at both ends of the limit frame 82, a slider 89 is rotatably installed at one end of the bottom of the limit plate 83, and the end of the slider 89 away from the limit plate 83 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 88, and the end of the connecting rod 88 away from the slider 89 is fixedly installed with a driven gear 87, and the driven gear 87 is rotatably installed in an active cavity 811, and the active cavity 811 is hollow and arranged in the placement table 81 and A through hole 813 is provided in the middle of the placement platform 81, and the inner walls on both sides of the through hole 813 are convexly fixedly installed with limit blocks 812, and the driving gear 80 is meshed and connected between the driven gears 87, and the driving gear 80 is rotatably installed in the movable cavity 811. The driving gear 80 is coaxially rotated with a power shaft 85, and the power shaft 85 is slidably engaged in the through hole 813. A disc 84 is coaxially fixedly installed at the top of the power shaft 85, and a spring 86 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the disc 84. The bottom of the spring 86 is fixedly installed on the top of the placement platform 81. A circular through hole is coaxially provided in the driving gear 80, and a spiral groove with a large vertical angle is provided on the inner wall of the through hole. A spiral groove with a large vertical angle is concavely provided on the outer wall of the power shaft 85, and the spiral groove is meshed and connected with the spiral groove of the driving gear 80. A clamping groove 851 is concavely provided at both ends of the power shaft 85, and the limit blocks 812 are slidably engaged in the clamping groove 851. When it is necessary to water the plants, the palm of the hand in the operating part 3 picks up the watering bucket 9 on the placement part 8, and the watering bucket 9 is away from the disc 84. The disc 84 is bounced up under the elastic force of the spring 86, and then drives the power shaft 85 to move upward. When the power shaft 85 moves upward, it drives the driving gear 80 to rotate through the spiral structure connection. The driving gear 80 rotates and drives the driven gear 87 to rotate. The driven gear 87 rotates and drives the connecting rod 88 to swing, so that the limiting plates 83 are away from each other, so that the operator can take out the watering can through the opening between the limiting plates 83. The water bucket 9 is used to water the plants. After watering, the watering bucket 9 is placed in the placement portion 8. The gravity of the watering bucket 9 presses down the disc 84, driving the power shaft 85 to move downward. When the power shaft 85 moves downward, the spiral structure in the driving gear 80 is driven to rotate through the spiral structure, thereby driving the driving gear 80 to rotate. The driving gear 80 drives the connecting rod 88 to swing, and the connecting rod 88 drives the limit plate 83 to close, thereby limiting the position of the watering bucket 9 to prevent the watering bucket 9 from tipping over when the box body 1 is moved later, thereby preventing the plants from being damaged.

[0027] Working principle: When the present invention is used, the plant to be observed is placed in the box 1, and after the placement is completed, the box door 2 is closed and the latch is inserted. When the scientific researcher needs to operate the plant inside the box 1, the palm is inserted into the operating part 3. The rubber gloves in the operating part 3 facilitate the operation of the scientific researcher and also improve the comfort, avoiding the scientific researcher from directly contacting the test plant and affecting the scientific research results. At the same time, there is no need to open the box door 2, which avoids the entry of insects from the outside into the box 1 and avoids affecting the scientific research data. When the plant needs to be operated When watering, the palm of the hand in the operating part 3 picks up the watering bucket 9 on the placement part 8, and the watering bucket 9 is away from the disc 84. The disc 84 is bounced up under the elastic force of the spring 86, and then drives the power shaft 85 to move upward. When the power shaft 85 moves upward, it drives the driving gear 80 to rotate through the spiral structure connection. The driving gear 80 rotates to drive the driven gear 87 to rotate. The driven gear 87 rotates to drive the connecting rod 88 to swing, so that the limit plates 83 are away from each other, so that the operator can take out the watering bucket 9 through the opening between the limit plates 83 to water the plants. After the watering is completed, the watering bucket 9 is placed in the placement part 8. The gravity of the watering bucket 9 presses down the disc 84, driving the power shaft 85 to move downward. When the power shaft 85 moves downward, the spiral structure in the active gear 80 is driven to rotate through the spiral structure, thereby driving the active gear 80 to rotate, and the active gear 80 drives the connecting rod 88 to swing, and the connecting rod 88 drives the limit plate 83 to close, thereby limiting the position of the watering bucket 9 to prevent the watering bucket 9 from tipping over when the box body 1 is moved later, and the plants are prevented from being damaged; when the scientific researchers need to go out on a business trip, the camera 5 is set to take pictures at a fixed time, the first stepper motor 61 rotates a certain number of circles to drive the rotating shaft 63 to rotate, the rotating shaft 63 drives the active bevel gear 68 to rotate, and then drives the camera 5 to change the horizontal rotation angle through the two meshing bevel gears, and at the same time the second stepper motor 69 rotates, driving the rotating frame 64 to rotate, the rotating frame 64 drives the connecting part 65 to rotate, thereby changing the angle of the camera 5 perpendicular to the horizontal direction, so that the camera shooting angle is larger, the shooting range is wider, and the photos stored in the memory card are convenient for scientific researchers to observe, and the data is more accurate and comprehensive.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
