[0021] As shown in the attached drawings, the present invention includes a box body 1. The top of the front and rear sides of the box body 1 is provided with a first cover plate 2, and the top of the left and right sides of the box body 1 is provided with a second cover plate 3. The front and rear sides of the box body 1 are provided with a first light-transmitting hole 4, and a first sealing plate 5 is provided on the first light-transmitting hole 4. The left and right sides of the box body 1 are provided with a second light-transmitting hole 6, and a second sealing plate 7 is provided on the second light-transmitting hole 6. The box body 1 located below the second light-transmitting hole 6 is provided with a handle groove 8, and the top of the box body 1 is provided with a hanging rope 9.

[0022] The box 1 is a rectangular corrugated cardboard box or plastic box. The first cover plate 2 is located along the long side of the box 1, and the sum of the heights of the two first cover plates 2 is equal to the width of the box 1. The second cover plate 3 is located along the short side of the box 1, and the sum of the heights of the two second cover plates 3 is less than the length of the box 1. The culture tray is placed inside the box 1. When sealing the top of the box 1, the two second cover plates 3 are put down first, and then the two first cover plates 2 are put down. The function of the second cover plate 3 is to support the first cover plate 2, and the function of the first cover plate 2 is to seal the top of the box 1.

[0023] The first sealing plate 5 and the second sealing plate 7 are opened to allow light to enter the box 1 and to adjust the light intensity inside the box 1. The handle groove 8 facilitates the handling of the box 1, and the hanging rope 9 can hang the box 1 so that it can be placed at a suitable height for light to enter.

[0024] Photobiology requires ambient light, i.e. diffused light, during cultivation. Direct exposure to strong light should be avoided. Generally, it should be placed in a high position indoors to receive sufficient ambient light.

[0025] The length of box 1 in this case is 500mm, the width is 350mm, and the height is 300mm, which makes it easy for test personnel to move and carry.

[0026] Furthermore, both the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 can be rotatably connected to the housing 1.

[0027] In the first connection method, the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 are connected to the box 1 by hinges;

[0028] In the second connection method, the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 are integral parts with the box body 1, which is a flexible connection. Specifically, creases are cut at the joint to facilitate the bending and rotation of the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3.

[0029] Furthermore, each end of the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 is provided with a magnetic fixing component 10 that cooperates with each other. The magnetic fixing component 10 includes a magnet and an iron plate. Specifically, during installation, the first cover plate 2 is provided with magnets at both ends, and the second cover plate 3 is provided with iron plates at both ends. When the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 are open, the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 are fixed together by the magnetic fixing component 10 to keep them in a vertical state. When the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 are closed, the two first cover plates 2 are fixed together by the mutual attraction of the magnets. During installation, the positive and negative poles of the magnets on the two first cover plates 2 must be opposite to ensure that the positive and negative poles attract each other when closed.

[0030] A first embodiment of the first sealing plate 5 and the second sealing plate 7:

[0031] The first light-transmitting hole 4 and the second light-transmitting hole 6 are opened on the housing 1. The first sealing plate 5 and the second sealing plate 7 are independent parts used to seal the first light-transmitting hole 4 and the second light-transmitting hole 6.

[0032] In a second embodiment of the first sealing plate 5 and the second sealing plate 7, the top of the first light-transmitting hole 4 and the second light-transmitting hole 6 respectively penetrate the corresponding first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3. The first sealing plate 5 and the second sealing plate 7 are both rotatably spliced ​​together by the box body sealing part and the cover plate sealing part.

[0033] The first sealing plate 5 and the second sealing plate 7 are assemblies used in conjunction with the corresponding first cover plate 2 and second cover plate 3, respectively. That is, a portion of the first sealing plate 5 and the second sealing plate 7 are used as the cover body simultaneously. During insertion and removal, the sealing part of the box body and the sealing part of the cover plate move up and down synchronously. The sealing part of the box body and the sealing part of the cover plate can be hinged together, or the sealing part of the box body and the sealing part of the cover plate can be integrated into one piece, forming a flexible connection, with creases cut at the connection point for bending and rotation.

[0034] Specifically, the first sealing plate 5 and the second sealing plate 7 can be moved up and down and inserted into the corresponding first light-transmitting hole 4 and the second light-transmitting hole 6, respectively.

[0035] The first light-transmitting hole 4 and the second light-transmitting hole 6 are provided with slots. The first sealing plate 5 and the second sealing plate 7 are tightly fitted with the slots, that is, after the first sealing plate 5 and the second sealing plate 7 are pulled by external force, they can stay in place, maintain their open state and fix the size of the opening.

[0036] In the second embodiment, the slot extends to the corresponding first cover plate 2 and second cover plate 3, that is, after the first sealing plate 5 and the second sealing plate 7 are closed, their cover sealing parts can rotate synchronously with the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 to seal the top of the box 1.

[0037] Furthermore, a vent is provided on the box 1 located below the first light-transmitting hole 4, and a third sealing plate 12 is provided on the vent, the third sealing plate 12 being rotatably connected to the vent.

[0038] The vent is mainly used to ventilate the inside of the chamber 1 after it is opened, and its height is the same as that of the culture tray.

[0039] The box 1 is provided with a magnet 13, the third sealing plate 12 is provided with a handle, and a metal piece 14 that is attracted to the magnet 13 is provided on the handle.

[0040] Preferably, the handle groove 8 is integrally molded with the box body 1. The structure is simple and does not affect the strength of the box body 1. When the box body 1 is made of corrugated cardboard, part of it is bent inward by cutting to form the groove; when the box body 1 is made of plastic, the handle groove 8 is integrally injection molded with the box body 1.

[0041] Preferably, there are four suspension ropes 9, which are respectively connected to the four corners of the box body 1, and the top end of the four suspension ropes 9 is connected by a hook 15.

[0042] Furthermore, reflective film is provided on the inner sides of the box body 1, the first cover plate 2, and the second cover plate 3. When illumination is required, the reflective film can reflect light to make the light inside the box body 1 more uniform.
