[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The upper cover plate 101 and the main control box 110 are both made of stainless steel.
[0025] Specifically, the device is equipped with a base 111 for easy placement and use by the user; a support frame 108 provides support for placing vegetable seedlings; a top cover 101 provides protection for the top of the device; a first anti-slip pad 102, combined with a second anti-slip pad 202 inside the fixing mechanism 2, improves the stability of clamping and fixing when installing the insulation film 5; and a servo motor housing 103 with its internal servo motor has a locking structure to ensure its angle remains unchanged when not rotating. This structure is existing technology and is not shown in detail in the attached drawings. During use, it is connected via a data transceiver 104. The main control panel 106 receives commands and drives the active support plate 105 to rotate. In conjunction with the rotation of the driven support plate 107, it achieves the function of adjusting the angle of the entire cultivation mechanism 4 in combination with the direction of light.

Multiple nozzles 401 are fixedly mounted at equal intervals on the opposite side surfaces of the two flow guides 402. Light sensors 408 are fixedly mounted at the four corners of the front of the incubation box 404. A partition plate 411 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface inside the incubation box 404. Multiple through holes 412 are evenly spaced on the surface of the partition plate 411. The upper surface of the partition plate 411 is... The container contains planting soil 407. A liquid level viewing window 410 is fixedly installed in the middle of the front of the water tank 405. A water inlet 406 is fixedly installed at the upper end of one side of the front of the water tank 405. A drain outlet 409 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the other side of the front of the water tank 405. A water pump 414 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom surface inside the water tank 405. A guide pipe 413 is fixedly installed at the output end of the water pump 414. The other end of the guide pipe 413 is fixed to the pipe inside the guide frame 402. A support frame 403 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the cultivation box 404.
[0031] Specifically, by setting up a cultivation box 404, combined with the planting soil 407 inside, basic planting and cultivation functions for vegetable seedlings can be realized. By setting up a flow guide frame 402, a connecting pipe is set up inside the flow guide frame 402, which is connected to the nozzle 401. In use, the water pump 414 transmits water from the water tank 405 to the pipe in the flow guide frame 402 through the flow guide pipe 413, and sprays it onto the surface of the vegetable seedlings through the nozzle 401 to realize irrigation. The start and stop of the water pump 414 can be controlled by the main control panel 106. By setting up a light sensor 408, the main control panel 106 can calculate the light angle from the values of the four light sensors 409, and then adjust the angle of the cultivation box 404 to form a 45-degree angle with the light direction. To ensure sufficient light, the system includes a partition plate 411 and a through hole 412, allowing excess water after irrigation to flow into a water tank 405 for recycling. A liquid level window 410 and a water inlet 406 allow users to easily monitor the remaining water level in the tank and replenish it promptly. A drain outlet 409 facilitates water drainage after use. A support frame 403, the same size as the grooves on the surfaces of the active support plate 105 and the driven support plate 107, allows the cultivation mechanism 4 to be assembled with the main body 1. If a single cultivation mechanism 4 is damaged, it can be replaced without affecting the overall operation of the equipment. Individual cultivation mechanisms 4 can also be removed and used separately, increasing the applicability of the device.
