[0003] Currently, Chinese patent CN207885382U discloses an indoor liquid culture device for corn seedlings, including a culture body wall and two fixing holes. The inside of the culture body wall is an inner cavity containing a culture solution. A support block is welded and fixed to the top of the inner cavity of the culture body wall. The culture body wall is connected and fixed to a cover plate by a snap-fit ​​connection. A limiting block is welded and fixed to the lower end of the cover plate. The limiting block cooperates with the support block. Support blocks are welded and fixed to the left and right inner surfaces of the culture body wall respectively. A fixing plate is fixed to the upper end of the support block. A liquid inlet pipe is welded and fixed to the middle part of the right end face of the culture body wall. A liquid outlet is welded and fixed to the lower end of the right end face of the culture body wall below the liquid inlet pipe. Several corn seedlings are cultivated in the culture solution. The limiting ring prevents the corn seedlings from slipping off at the fixing hole, effectively protecting them. While this device solves the aforementioned problem, it also presents the following issues: the seedling stems tend to tip over during development, making them difficult to identify and affecting the cultivation process; the supply of nutrients is cumbersome and uneven, leading to errors in root development results; and the device is difficult to observe in dim lighting. Therefore, a new cultivation device that facilitates the observation of corn seedling root development is needed. Utility Model Content

[0029] Reference Figure 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a cultivation device for easy observation of the root development of corn seedlings, including a cultivation box 1, an observation window 2 fixedly provided on the surface of the cultivation box 1, a partition rack 3 fixedly provided inside the cultivation box 1, a nutrient supply device 4 fixedly provided on one side surface of the cultivation box 1, a box cover 5 provided on the top surface of the cultivation box 1, a limiting device 6 provided on the top surface of the box cover 5, and a through hole 7 provided on one side of the limiting device 6.

[0030] The limiting device 6 includes a limiting seat 601, a limiting post 602, a limiting knob 603, a telescopic rod 604, a limiting hole 605, and a limiting arc plate 606. A limiting post 602 is fixedly mounted on one side of the limiting seat 601. A limiting knob 603 is mounted on the surface of the limiting post 602. A telescopic rod 604 is located inside the limiting post 602. Multiple limiting holes 605 are provided on the surface of the telescopic rod 604. A limiting arc plate 606 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the telescopic rod 604. The roots of the corn seedling are placed inside the nutrient box 1 through the through hole 7. Then, the limiting arc plate 606 is pushed, which moves the telescopic rod 604 to the appropriate position. The limiting knob 603 is rotated to engage with the corresponding limiting hole 605, thus firmly clamping the stalk of the corn seedling. This step prevents the corn stalk from tipping over during cultivation, ensuring the stability of the cultivation and accurate identification by the device.

[0031] The device comprises four limit seats 601, four limit posts 602, four limit knobs 603, four telescopic rods 604, and four limit arc plates 606, all positioned in a mirror-symmetrical arrangement. The position of the limit knob 603 corresponds to the position of the limit hole 605. The device's limiting area is increased by having four limit seats 601, four limit posts 602, four limit knobs 603, four telescopic rods 604, and four limit arc plates 606, all positioned in a mirror-symmetrical arrangement. The position of the limit knob 603 corresponds to the position of the limit hole 605.

[0032] The nutrient supply device 4 includes a nutrient supply base 401, a nutrient supply pump 402, a nutrient supply tank 403, a nutrient supply pipe 404, and nozzles 405. The nutrient supply pump 402 is fixedly installed inside the nutrient supply base 401. The nutrient supply tank 403 is located at the top of the nutrient supply base 401. The nutrient supply pipe 404 is fixedly installed on one side surface of the nutrient supply pump 402. Multiple nozzles 405 are installed on the bottom surface of the nutrient supply pipe 404. The nutrient solution is filled into the nutrient supply tank 403. The nutrient supply tank 403 is rotated to connect with the nutrient supply base 401. The nutrient pump 402 is activated, and it guides the nutrient solution from inside the nutrient supply tank 403 into the nutrient supply pipe 404. Finally, the nutrient solution flows out from the nozzles 405, providing timely nutrient replenishment for the corn seedlings.

[0033] The diversion supply pipe 404 passes through the supply seat 401 and the partition frame 3. The supply tank 403 is threadedly connected to the supply seat 401. The practicality of the device is improved by the diversion supply pipe 404 passing through the supply seat 401 and the partition frame 3 and the supply tank 403 being threadedly connected to the supply seat 401.

[0034] The box cover 5 includes a cover body 501, a groove 502, an ear plate seat 503, an observation light 504, and a groove cover 505. Multiple grooves 502 are provided on the bottom surface of the cover body 501. An ear plate seat 503 is fixedly installed inside each groove 502, and an observation light 504 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the ear plate seat 503. The groove cover 505 is located at the bottom of the grooves 502. The light from the observation light 504 passes through the groove cover 505, directly illuminating the corn seedling roots. This design allows staff to conveniently observe the corn roots directly at different times without the need for additional lighting equipment, improving the convenience and efficiency of observation.

[0035] The slot cover 505 is made of transparent glass, and the groove 502 corresponds to the cavity separated by the divider 3. The efficiency of the device is improved by the fact that the slot cover 505 is made of transparent glass and the groove 502 corresponds to the cavity separated by the divider 3.

[0036] Working principle: When using this device, the roots of the corn seedling are placed inside the through hole 7, and the roots are placed inside the nutrient supply box 1. By pushing the limiting arc plate 606, the limiting arc plate 606 drives the telescopic rod 604. After the telescopic rod 604 moves to a suitable position, the limiting knob 603 is rotated. The limiting knob 603 connects with the corresponding limiting hole 605, and the limiting arc plate 606 clamps and limits the corn seedling stalk, preventing the corn stalk from tipping over during cultivation, which would affect the device's identification and observation. During the cultivation process, the roots are placed inside the through hole 7, and the roots are placed inside the nutrient supply box 1. By pushing the limiting arc plate 606, the corn seedling stalk is clamped and limited, preventing it from tipping over during cultivation and affecting the device's identification and observation. Nutrient solution is filled into the culture tank 403. The culture tank 403 is rotated to connect with the culture base 401, activating the culture pump 402. The culture pump 402 guides the culture solution inside the culture tank 403 into the culture tube 404. Finally, the culture solution flows out of the culture tube 404 from the nozzle 405, making it convenient to replenish the nutrients needed for the corn seedlings in a timely manner. During the cultivation and observation process, the light from the observation lamp 504 shines through the tank cover 505 to directly illuminate the roots of the corn seedlings, facilitating direct observation of the corn roots by staff at different times.
