[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a potted plant device for studying the role of soil organisms in nutrient transfer and transformation, comprising:

[0023] The planting pot includes a left pot body 1 and a right pot body 2. A first connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the left pot body 1 and is located near the right pot body 2. A second connecting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the right pot body 2 and is located near the left pot body 1. Both the first connecting plate 3 and the second connecting plate 4 have connecting holes, and bolts 5 are inserted into the connecting holes. Nuts 6 are threaded onto the bolts 5. A partition net 7 is sandwiched between the left pot body 1 and the right pot body 2. The bolts 5 pass through the partition net 7. Soil is placed in the left pot body 1 and the right pot body 2. Sampling mechanisms are provided on both the left pot body 1 and the right pot body 2.

[0024] In this device, soil is placed in both the left basin 1 and the right basin 2 for planting the crops to be studied. A partition net 7 is installed between the left basin 1 and the right basin 2 to separate the soil in the two basins. The first connecting plate 3 and the second connecting plate 4 facilitate the connection of the left basin 1 and the right basin 2 together. In use, the partition net 7 is first clamped between the left basin 1 and the right basin 2. Then, bolts 5 are passed through the connecting holes on the first connecting plate 3 and the second connecting plate 4, and nuts 6 are tightened onto the bolts 5, thus connecting the left basin 1 and the right basin 2 together. The sampling mechanism facilitates soil sampling from the left basin 1 and the right basin 2, making the research work more convenient. Before installing the partition net 7, holes can be made in the partition net 7 to allow the bolts 5 to pass through.

[0025] The scheme is further optimized by fixing several rods 8 to the left basin 1, with the rods 8 facing the right basin 2. Several holes 9 are opened on the right basin 2, with the holes 9 and rods 8 corresponding to each other. The rods 8 pass through the partition 7 and are inserted into the holes 9.

[0026] When installing the partition net 7, attach the partition net 7 to one side of the left basin 1, pass the insertion rod 8 through the partition net 7, and then insert the insertion rod 8 into the insertion hole 9. This will make it easier to connect the left basin 1 and the right basin 2.

[0027] The sampling mechanism is further optimized by including two straight cylinders 10, each with several sampling ports 11. The left basin 1 and the right basin 2 each have two first through holes. The straight cylinder 10 is inserted into the first through holes, and plugs 12 are installed at both ends of the straight cylinder 10.

[0028] Both ends of the straight cylinder 10 pass through the side wall of the left basin 1 or the right basin 2, and the straight cylinder 10 is in a state of penetrating the left basin 1 and the right basin 2. The sampling port 11 facilitates the extraction of soil from the left basin 1 or the right basin 2. The plug 12 is used to block both ends of the straight cylinder 10 to reduce the influence of the external environment on the soil. When using it, cotton or paper balls are first stuffed into the straight cylinder 10 so that no soil falls into the straight cylinder 10 from the sampling port 11. After the crop has grown for a period of time, the plug 12 can be opened, the cotton or paper balls can be removed, and the soil can be extracted from the sampling port 11 for research.

[0029] To further optimize the design, a second through hole is provided on both the left basin 1 and the right basin 2, and a temperature and humidity sensor 13 is inserted into the second through hole.

[0030] Temperature and humidity sensor 13 is used to measure soil temperature and humidity.

[0031] To further optimize the design, several fixing blocks 14 are fixedly connected to the bottom surfaces of both the left basin 1 and the right basin 2.

[0032] The fixing block 14 is used to elevate the left basin 1 and the right basin 2.

[0033] To further optimize the design, several drainage holes 15 are provided on the bottom surfaces of both the left basin 1 and the right basin 2.

[0034] Drain hole 15 facilitates the drainage of excess water.

[0035] The method of using this device is as follows: When installing the partition net 7, attach the partition net 7 to one side of the left basin 1, pass the insertion rod 8 through the partition net 7, and then insert the insertion rod 8 into the insertion hole 9. Then, use the bolt 5 to pass through the connecting holes on the first connecting plate 3 and the second connecting plate 4, and then use the nut 6 to tighten it on the bolt 5, thereby connecting the left basin 1 and the right basin 2 together. Insert the straight cylinder 10 into the first through hole, stuff cotton or paper balls into the straight cylinder 10, and then plug both ends of the straight cylinder 10 with the plug 12. Finally, fill the left basin 1 and the right basin 2 with soil and plant crops. After the crops have grown for a period of time, the plug 12 can be opened, the cotton or paper balls can be removed, and the soil can be taken out from the sampling port 11 for research.
