[0032] In one embodiment, during use, the inoculum is placed on the support plate 5. Then, by starting the servo motor 10, the second helical gear 9 is driven. With the cooperation of the second helical gear 9 and the first helical gear 8, the lead screw 7 is driven, which drives the support plate 5 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the distance between adjacent support plates 5 to adapt to the culture space of the inoculum. At the same time, by starting the drive motor 23, the bidirectional threaded rod 12 is driven to rotate. Under the action of the guide rod 13, the moving seat 14 is moved axially along the bidirectional threaded rod 12, thereby adjusting the height of the light lamp 16 and adjusting the distance between it and the inoculum to adapt to the growth environment of the inoculum at different stages, improve the efficiency of photosynthesis, and thus promote the growth and development of the inoculum.

[0033] Specifically, a convex column 18 is provided between the base 1 and the top plate 2 and inside the hollow column 3.

[0034] In one embodiment, after the support seat is adjusted, the stepper motor 17 is started to drive the convex column 18, causing the rubber sleeve 19 on the surface to fit into the support plate 5, thereby increasing the friction between the support seat and the support seat, fixing the support seat and improving its stability.

[0035] Specifically, the lower surface of the bearing plate 5 is provided with a grid reinforcing rib 6.

[0043] Working principle: In use, the inoculum is placed on the support plate 5. Then, by starting the servo motor 10, the second helical gear 9 is driven. With the cooperation of the second helical gear 9 and the first helical gear 8, the lead screw 7 is driven, which drives the support plate 5 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the distance between adjacent support plates 5 to adapt to the culture space of the inoculum. At the same time, by starting the drive motor 23, the bidirectional threaded rod 12 is driven to rotate. Under the action of the guide rod 13, the moving seat 14 is moved axially along the bidirectional threaded rod 12, thereby adjusting the height of the light lamp 16 and adjusting the distance between it and the inoculum to adapt to the growth environment of the inoculum at different stages, improve the efficiency of photosynthesis, and thus promote the growth and development of the inoculum. After the support seat is adjusted, by starting the stepper motor 17, the convex column 18 is driven, which causes the rubber sleeve 19 on the surface to fit into the support plate 5, thereby increasing the friction between the support seat and fixing the support seat and improving its stability.
