[0029] Example:
[0030] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:
[0031] This utility model provides an auxiliary device for observing the root system of alpine grassland shrubs, including a support frame 1, multiple sets of sealing plates 2 installed around the support frame 1, and a top plate 3 installed on the top of the support frame 1. An inlet is opened on one set of sealing plates 2, and a sealing door 4 is installed inside the inlet.
[0032] An observation port is provided on the sealed door 4, and an observation window 5 is installed inside the observation port. A sealing groove is provided on one side of the sealed door 4, and a sealing gasket is installed in the sealing groove. A locking block 7 is installed on one side of the sealed door 4.

The first positioning block and the second positioning block are connected by a spring. The locking block 7 is locked between the two sets of locking rods 10.
[0033] Please refer to, for example Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sealing gasket is made of sponge. By setting the sealing gasket, the gap between the sealing door 4 and the sealing plate 2 can be filled, so that the user can reduce the loss of internal temperature of the equipment and improve the sealing and heat preservation effect of the equipment. The user can fix the position of the sealing door 4 by engaging the locking block 7 with the two sets of locking rods 10, so that the equipment can remain closed and improve the sealing stability of the equipment.
[0034] A third positioning block is provided on one side of the card holder 8. An opening and closing component 11 is sleeved on the third positioning block. A cam is provided at one end of the opening and closing component 11. Both sets of card rods 10 are slidably connected to the cam.

[0035] A dust cover 12 is installed on the other side of the card holder 8. A through hole is provided on the dust cover 12, and an opening and closing element 11 is inserted through the through hole.
[0036] The opening and closing component 11 can drive the cam to rotate, allowing the user to control the opening and closing of the two sets of levers 10, thus improving the ease of opening and closing the sealed door of the device. The user can use the dust cover 12 to prevent dust from entering the card holder 8, thereby reducing component wear and improving the component protection effect of the device.
[0037] Multiple sets of sealing strips 13 are clamped on one side of the support frame 1, and a second mounting groove is opened on one side of the sealing strip 13. A magnetic strip is installed in the second mounting groove. Multiple sets of mounting holes are opened on one side of the sealing door 4, and multiple sets of permanent magnets 15 are installed in the mounting holes.
[0038] By attracting the magnetic strip and the permanent magnet 15, the fit between the sealing door 4 and the sealing plate 2 can be enhanced, allowing the user to further improve the sealing performance of the equipment and enhance its sealing reinforcement effect. The user can use the sealing strip 13 to fill the gap between the support frame 1 and the sealing plate 2, which can reduce the inflow of outside air, improve the isolation effect of the equipment, and enhance the user's ability to strengthen the sealing of the equipment.
[0039] A drainage plate 16 is installed inside the support frame 1. A drainage channel is opened at the top of the drainage plate 16. A drainage pipe is installed on one side of the drainage plate 16. A drainage valve 17 is installed at the bottom of the drainage pipe. The drainage channel is connected to the drainage pipe.
[0040] The drainage plate 16 can guide the water inside the device, allowing the user to direct the water to the drain, thus improving the drainage effect of the device. The user can control the opening and closing of the drain valve 17 to drain the water in the drain pipe, thus preventing the device from accumulating too much water inside.
[0041] Multiple sets of support rods are installed on the drainage board 16, and a sieve plate 18 is installed on the multiple sets of support rods. Multiple sets of seepage holes are opened on the sieve plate 18.
[0042] Both the sieve plate 18 and the drainage plate 16 are provided with fixing holes, and ventilation pipes are inserted into the fixing holes. A ventilation opening 19 is installed at one end of the ventilation pipe.
[0043] The sieve plate 18 allows for the placement of plant root samples for observation, enabling users to maintain ventilation below the samples and improving the rationality of sample placement. Users can adjust the airflow inside the equipment through the ventilation pipe and vent 19, allowing the equipment to maintain a suitable air environment and improving the air conditioning effect of the equipment.
[0044] A base plate 20 is installed at the bottom of the support frame 1. A control module 21 and a cooler 22 are installed on the base plate 20. The air outlet of the cooler 22 is connected to the other end of the ventilation pipe. Both sets of sealing plates 2 have installation ports, and a fan is installed on one side of the installation port. The cooler 22 and the fan are electrically connected to the control module 21. By setting the cooler 22, the internal temperature of the equipment can be reduced, allowing users to simulate a cold environment and improving the environmental simulation effect of the equipment. The cooler 22 can be an AEZ4425E model cooler. Users can control the operation of the cooler 22 and the fan through the control module 21, so that the equipment can maintain a stable low temperature environment and improve the environmental control accuracy of the equipment. The control module 21 can be a YLSH200_201 model control module. At the same time, the entire equipment is provided with the power required for operation through an external circuit.
[0045] The LED strip 23 provides illumination inside the device, allowing users to clearly observe the plant roots and improving the device's observation clarity. The LED strip 23 can be an SG-TPU2835 / 48 model. Users can monitor internal temperature changes through the temperature sensor 24, enabling the device to adjust the cooler 22's operation in a timely manner and improving the device's temperature monitoring sensitivity. The temperature sensor 24 can be an ADT7420 model. The support feet 25 raise the overall height of the device, preventing the base plate 20 from directly contacting the damp ground.
[0046] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0047] When using this device, the overall height is raised by the support feet 25 at the bottom of the support frame 1 to prevent the base plate 20 from directly contacting the wet ground. When opening the sealing door 4, hold the handle of the opening and closing part 11 and turn it to drive the cam to rotate. The cam pushes the two sets of locking rods 10 to rotate around the rotating seat 9, compressing the spring between the first positioning block and the second positioning block, so that the locking block 7 is released from the clamping of the two sets of locking rods 10, and the sealing door 4 can be opened.
[0048] Plant root samples for observation are placed on sieve plate 18, which is mounted above drainage plate 16 via support rods. Excess water is allowed to seep into the drainage channels of drainage plate 16 through perforations below the samples. When the sealing door 4 is closed, the locking block 7 presses against the two sets of locking rods 10 to open them. After the spring returns to its original position, the locking rods 10 clamp the locking block 7. Simultaneously, the sealing gasket on one side of the sealing door 4 fills the gap between it and the sealing plate 2, and the magnetic strip attracts the permanent magnet 15, further enhancing the seal.
[0049] The control module 21 starts the cooler 22 and the fan. The cold air generated by the cooler 22 is delivered to the inside of the equipment through the ventilation duct to simulate a cold environment, and the fan dissipates heat from the equipment. The temperature sensor 24 monitors the internal temperature in real time and feeds the data back to the control module 21 to regulate the operation of the cooler 22 to maintain a stable low temperature.
[0050] During observation, turn on the light strip 23 to provide illumination, and observe the root system condition through the observation window 5 on the sealed door 4. If there is water accumulation inside the equipment, open the drain valve 17, and the water will be discharged through the drain channel and drain pipe. The vent 19 can regulate the internal air circulation to ensure that the sample is in a suitable air environment.
[0051] After the equipment is used up, turn off all electrical components, clean the screen plate 18 and the drainage plate 16, close the sealing door 4, and the dust cover 12 on one side of the card seat 8 can prevent dust from entering the inside of the card seat 8 and reduce the wear of the components.
