[0029] Figure 6 for Figure 1 An enlarged structural diagram of part B shown in the figure; Figure 7 for Figure 1 The diagram shows an enlarged view of part C. The multi-functional culture rack for *Artemisia annua* seedling cultivation includes: a base 1 and a top plate 2 located above the base 1; a connecting rope 3 fixedly installed on the base 1 and connected to the top plate 2, and a hydraulic cylinder 7; several fixing blocks 4 fixedly installed on the connecting rope 3; partitions 5 respectively installed on the fixing blocks 4; cultivation troughs 6 slidably installed on the fixing blocks 4 for cultivating *Artemisia annua* seedlings; and a fixing mechanism on the fixing blocks 4 for fixing the cultivation troughs 6. By using the liftable hydraulic cylinder 7 and the flexible connecting rope 3, the fixing blocks 4 and cultivation troughs 6 can move up and down with the top plate 2, achieving vertical folding and storage of the culture rack, significantly reducing the floor space occupied when not in use.

[0030] Drainage pipes 8 and supplemental lights 9 are fixedly installed at the bottom of both the partition 5 and the top plate 2. The drainage pipes 8 are used to irrigate the seedlings of *Hylocereus undatus*, and the supplemental lights 9 are used to provide suitable light to the seedlings of *Hylocereus undatus*. By integrating drainage pipes 8 and supplemental lights 9 at the bottom of the partition 5 and the top plate 2, automated irrigation and precise light control are achieved, meeting the humidity and light requirements of *Hylocereus undatus* seedlings at different growth stages and improving seedling efficiency.

[0031] A clamping plate 10 for installing the cultivation trough 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing block 4. The clamping plate 10 is slidably connected to the clamping groove on one side of the cultivation trough 6. Through the sliding clamping structure between the clamping plate 10 and the cultivation trough 6, the installation and disassembly of the cultivation trough 6 are more convenient, making it easier to quickly replace or transplant seedlings, while ensuring the stability of the cultivation trough 6 during operation.

[0032] The fixing mechanism includes: a connecting block 11 fixedly installed on one side of the fixing block 4; a connecting cylinder 12 fixedly installed on one side of the cultivation tank 6; a plug rod 13 slidably installed on the connecting block 11 and inserted into the connecting cylinder 12; and a magnet block 14 fixedly installed in the connecting cylinder 12 for fixing the plug rod 13. The magnet block 14 is attracted to the plug rod 13. Through the magnetic fixing mechanism of the plug rod 13 and the magnet block 14, the cultivation tank 6 can be quickly locked and released, avoiding the cumbersome operation of traditional bolt fixing, and preventing the cultivation tank 6 from shaking or falling off due to external force.

[0033] The top plate 2 is provided with a limiting mechanism for restricting the position of the fixing blocks 4. The limiting mechanism includes: a limiting rope 15 fixedly installed on the bottommost fixing block 4, the limiting rope 15 slidingly passing through the other fixing blocks 4; a rotating drum 16 rotatably installed on the top of the top plate 2 for winding the limiting rope 15; a rotating rod 17 rotatably installed on the top plate 2 and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating drum 16; a sprocket 18 fixedly sleeved on the rotating rod 17, the sprocket 18 having a chain 19 sleeved on it; and a double-headed motor 20 fixedly installed on the top of the top plate 2 for driving the rotating drum 16 to rotate, the output shaft of the double-headed motor 20 being fixedly connected to the rotating rod 17. Through the setting of the limiting mechanism, the tension of the limiting rope is dynamically adjusted during the lifting and lowering of the cultivation rack, ensuring the interlayer alignment of the fixing blocks 4 and avoiding the shaking problem caused by the loosening of the connecting rope 3 due to gravity.

[0034] A protective cover 21 is provided on the top of the top plate 2. The protective cover 21 covers the rotating drum 16 and the dual-head motor 20. A connecting block 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the top plate 2. A screw rod 23 for fixing the protective cover 21 is threaded onto the connecting block 22. The screw rod 23 is threadedly connected to the protective cover 21. Through the detachable protective cover 21 and screw rod 23, the precision components such as the motor 20 and the rotating drum 16 are protected from dust and moisture, extending the service life of the equipment and facilitating maintenance and repair.

[0035] A support frame 24 is fixedly installed on the top of the top plate 2, and a connecting groove 25 adapted to the support frame 24 is opened at the bottom of the base 1. Through the stacking design of the support frame 24 and the connecting groove 25, multiple culture racks can be stacked vertically for storage, further saving space.

[0036] It is worth noting that the circuits, electronic components, and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.

[0037] The working principle of the multifunctional culture rack for Amaranthus urinaria tissue culture seedlings provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0038] This solution also includes an electrical control cabinet, which is installed on the equipment. During use, each piece of electrical equipment can be started and operated separately through the electrical control cabinet. The power connection method of each piece of electrical equipment is an existing mature technology and is well known to those in the field, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0039] When cultivating seedlings of *Ipomoea aquatica*, the seedlings are first planted in the cultivation trough 6. Then, the slot on one side of the cultivation trough 6 is inserted into the card plate 10, and the cultivation trough 6 is installed on the fixing block 4. Then, the insertion rod 13 is inserted into the connecting block 11 and the connecting cylinder 12, so that the insertion rod 13 is attracted to the magnet block 14, thereby preventing the cultivation trough 6 from moving. During the growth process, the seedlings in the cultivation trough 6 can be irrigated through the drainage pipe 8, and at the same time, suitable light is provided through the supplemental light lamp 9.

[0040] When transplanting seedlings after cultivation, the bottom layer of cultivation trough 6 is removed first. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 7 is activated to drive the top plate 2 down. Since multiple fixing blocks 4 are connected to the top plate 2 by connecting ropes 3, when the top plate 2 slides down, the connecting ropes 3 simultaneously drive multiple suspended fixing blocks 4 down. When the fixing blocks 4 of the second layer contact the bottom layer fixing blocks 4, the hydraulic cylinder 7 is turned off, and the cultivation trough 6 is removed. At the same time, the cultivation troughs 6 of other seedling layers are removed in the same way. After all the cultivation troughs 6 are removed, the fixing blocks 4 of each layer are stacked on top of each other, thus realizing the storage of the seedling rack at the same time.

[0041] Meanwhile, when this culture rack is not needed, another culture rack can be placed on the support frame 24 on the top plate 2 by hoisting or manual handling, so that the support frame 24 contacts the connecting groove 25 at the bottom of its base 1, thereby enabling multiple culture racks to be stacked and effectively reducing their floor space.

[0042] Simultaneously with the activation of hydraulic cylinder 7, motor 20 is also activated, causing the output shaft of motor 20 to drive rotating rod 17 to rotate. Rotating rod 17 drives rotating drum 16 to rotate. At the same time, sprocket 18 drives chain 19 to rotate. The two sprockets can simultaneously drive two sets of rotating rods 17 to rotate, causing several rotating drums 16 to wind or unwind the limiting ropes 15 located at the four corners of the two fixed blocks 4, ensuring that they do not affect the movement of fixed blocks 4. At the same time, during the seedling cultivation process, the limiting ropes 15 remain taut to limit the fixed blocks 4 and prevent them from shaking simultaneously due to the shaking of connecting rope 3.

[0043] Compared with related technologies, the multifunctional culture rack for *Artemisia annua* tissue culture seedlings provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0044] This utility model provides a multi-functional cultivation rack for the tissue culture of *Ipomoea aquatica* seedlings. By setting up a liftable hydraulic cylinder 7 and a flexible connecting rope 3, the fixing blocks 4 and cultivation troughs 6 of each layer can move up and down with the top plate 2, realizing the vertical folding and storage of the cultivation rack, which greatly reduces the floor space occupied when not in use. By integrating drainage pipes 8 and supplemental lights 9 into the partition 5 and the bottom of the top plate 2, automated irrigation and precise light control are achieved to meet the humidity and light requirements of *Ipomoea aquatica* seedlings at different growth stages and improve seedling efficiency. The sliding snap-fit ​​structure between the clamping plate 10 and the cultivation trough 6 makes the installation and disassembly of the cultivation trough 6 more convenient, facilitating quick replacement or transplanting of seedlings, while ensuring the stability of the cultivation trough 6 during operation.

[0045] The magnetic fixing mechanism 13 and magnet 14 enable quick locking and releasing of the culture tank 6, avoiding the cumbersome operation of traditional bolt fixing and preventing the culture tank 6 from shaking or falling off due to external forces. The limit mechanism dynamically adjusts the tension of the limit rope during the lifting and lowering of the culture rack, ensuring the alignment of the fixing blocks 4 between layers and preventing the shaking of the connecting rope 3 due to gravity. The detachable protective cover 21 and the screw rod 23 provide dust and moisture protection for precision components such as the motor 20 and the rotating drum 16, extending the service life of the equipment and facilitating maintenance. The stacking design of the support frame 24 and the connecting groove 25 allows multiple culture racks to be stacked vertically for storage, further saving space.

In terms of the technical aspects of this design principle, the setting of the power mechanism, power supply system and control system of the device is not fully described. However, those skilled in the art who understand the principle of the above utility model can clearly understand the specific details of its power mechanism, power supply system and control system.
