Because plant-based medicines constitute the majority of traditional Chinese medicine, it is also called Chinese herbal medicine. With the continuous development of society and the economy, light-incubators have been widely used in scientific research departments such as biology, agriculture, medicine, and environmental protection. Incubators are mainly used as enclosures for culturing microorganisms, plant and animal cells, and are basic experimental equipment used in biology, agriculture, medicine, and environmental protection.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 A light-incubating box for seedling cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine includes a box body 1. A sliding rod 2 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the box body 1 at the middle position. First locking teeth 3 are fixedly provided on both sides of the sliding rod 2. Multiple first locking teeth 3 are provided and arranged linearly. A collar 4 is movably provided at the outer end of the sliding rod 2. Seedling trays 5 are provided on both sides of the collar 4. A control shell 6 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the collar 4. Threaded rods 7 are movably provided on both sides of the control shell 6. The threaded rods 7 are threadedly connected to the control shell 6. One end of each threaded rod 7 passes through the control shell 6 and is rotatably provided with a moving block 8. A second locking tooth 9 is provided on the outer wall of the moving block 8. A handwheel 10 is provided at the other end of the threaded rod 7. A light-refracting plate 11 is provided on the inner wall of the box body 1. A light lamp 12 is provided on the inner wall of the light-refracting plate 11.
[0031] In this embodiment, a plug-in block 13 is fixedly provided at one end of the seedling tray 5, and an installation sleeve 14 is fixedly provided on both sides of the collar 4. A plug-in groove 15 is provided on the upper end face of the installation sleeve 14. The plug-in block 13 is located inside the plug-in groove 15. Threaded holes 16 are provided on the outer walls of the plug-in block 13 and the installation sleeve 14 respectively. A connecting screw 17 is provided inside the threaded hole 16. A screwing block 18 is fixedly provided at one end of the connecting screw 17.
[0032] More specifically, the user can rotate the handwheel 10 to disengage the second locking tooth 9 on the moving block 8 from the first locking tooth 3. At this time, the collar 4 and the seedling tray 5 can be raised and lowered to adjust the distance between multiple seedling trays 5, which is convenient for use for Chinese herbal medicine seedlings of different heights. When the user needs to transplant the Chinese herbal medicine seedlings inside the seedling tray 5, the connecting screw 17 can be disassembled by turning the block 18. At this time, the seedling tray 5 can be disassembled by the cooperation of the insertion block 13 and the insertion slot 15, which facilitates subsequent operations.
[0033] Please see Figures 1-3 As an implementation method for cleaning the inside of the seedling tray 5: the bottom of the seedling tray 5 is provided with ventilation holes 19, and multiple ventilation holes 19 are provided and evenly distributed. The inside of the seedling tray 5 is provided with a movable mounting frame 20. Gauze 21 is fixed on the inner wall of the mounting frame 20. Placement blocks 22 are fixed at both ends of the mounting frame 20. Placement grooves 23 are correspondingly provided on the inner wall of the seedling tray 5. Placement blocks 22 are located inside the placement grooves 23. Pull rings 24 are provided at the front end of the seedling tray 5. Pins 25 are fixed at both ends of the pull rings 24. The pins 25 are movably installed with the seedling tray 5. Slots 26 are correspondingly provided on the outer wall of the mounting frame 20. Pins 25 are located inside the slots 26. Connecting springs 27 are fixed at both ends of the pull rings 24. The other end of the connecting springs 27 is fixedly connected to the seedling tray 5. The connecting springs 27 are sleeved with the pins 25.
[0034] Specifically, when the user needs to clean the inner wall of the seedling tray 5, one end of the pin 25 can be disengaged from the slot 26 by pulling the pull ring 24. At this time, the mounting frame 20 can be slid out from the inside of the seedling tray 5 to facilitate cleaning of the gauze 21 and the inner wall of the seedling tray 5, preventing mold growth and facilitating subsequent use.
[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 As a further embodiment for shielding the front end of the box 1: the front end of the box 1 is hinged with a door 28.
[0036] Specifically, users can use the door 28 to cover the front of the box 1 to facilitate subsequent seedling cultivation.
[0037] In summary, when using the overall equipment: the user can turn on the light lamp 12 inside the box 1 to provide an illumination beam. The beam will then be transmitted through the light-reflecting plate 11 and its refraction will change the illumination path, thus expanding the illumination coverage area inside the box 1. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the seedling trays 5, the second locking tooth 9 on the moving block 8 can be disengaged from the first locking tooth 3 by turning the handwheel 10. This allows the collar 4 and the seedling trays 5 to be raised and lowered, adjusting the distance between multiple seedling trays 5. This facilitates the use of herbal seedlings of different heights. When transplanting the herbal seedlings inside the seedling tray 5, the connecting screw 17 can be disassembled by turning the block 18. At this time, the seedling tray 5 can be disassembled by the cooperation of the plug block 13 and the plug slot 15, which facilitates the subsequent transplanting operation. When the user needs to clean the inner wall of the seedling tray 5, one end of the pin 25 can be disengaged from the slot 26 by pulling the pull ring 24. At this time, the mounting frame 20 can be slid out from the inside of the seedling tray 5 to facilitate the cleaning of the gauze 21 and the inner wall of the seedling tray 5, preventing mold growth and facilitating subsequent use.
