[0025] 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.

[0026] reference Figure 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a seed cultivation box with automatic supplemental lighting, comprising a cultivation box body 1. The cultivation box body 1 is equipped with a temperature control system, which includes a heating unit, a cooling unit, a temperature sensor, and an airflow circulation device. The heating unit typically uses a nickel-chromium alloy resistance wire or a PTC heater, generating heat through the thermal effect of current, characterized by rapid heating and good temperature uniformity. The cooling unit generally employs a compression refrigeration system, absorbing heat from the box through a phase change cycle of the refrigerant. The temperature sensor is installed in the middle of the box body to accurately sense the internal temperature. The airflow circulation device consists of a centrifugal fan and a guide duct, which can evenly distribute heat or cold to all corners of the box body, avoiding localized temperature differences. After the user sets the target temperature, the temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the chamber in real time and transmits the data to the control system. When the measured temperature is lower than the set value, the control system activates the heating unit, the resistance wire is energized and heats up, and the fan blows the heat into the chamber, causing the temperature to rise. When the measured temperature is higher than the set value, the refrigeration system starts, the compressor compresses the gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas, which is then liquefied by the condenser, depressurized by the throttling valve, and enters the evaporator to absorb heat from the chamber and become gaseous, thereby lowering the temperature inside the chamber. If the temperature reaches the set value, the system stops heating or cooling, and maintains a stable temperature through the insulation layer and the slight operation of the fan, forming a dynamically balanced constant temperature environment that meets the strict temperature requirements for seed germination.A rotating door 2 is rotatably connected to the front end of the cultivation box 1. An observation window is located in the middle of the rotating door 2, allowing staff to observe the seeds inside the cultivation box 1. Glass is fixedly connected inside the observation window, and a moving rod 5 is mounted at the top of the window. The moving rod 5 is slidably connected to the rotating door 2. Protrusions 10 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the front end of the moving rod 5. A cleaning sponge 18 is fitted onto the outer wall of the protrusion 10. Moving the moving rod 5 up and down moves the cleaning sponge 18, thus cleaning the inside of the glass. The front end of the cleaning sponge 18 contacts the glass. Fixed slide rails 7 and fixing strips 8 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both ends of the cultivation box 1, with the fixing strips 8 located at the front end of the fixed slide rails 7. Multiple partitions 4 are spaced apart between the fixed slide rails 7 and the fixing strips 8. The rear end of each partition 4 is slidably connected to the fixed slide rails 7 via a disassembly assembly, facilitating cleaning of the partitions 4. The height is adjustable. The assembly includes a slider 13 that is slidably connected in the fixed slide rail 7. A connecting block 14 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slider 13. Slots 16 that are compatible with the connecting blocks are opened on both the left and right sides of the rear end of the partition 4. A wedge block 15 is fixedly connected inside the slot 16. The wedge block 15 can engage with the limiting strip 17 to fix the position of the partition 4 and ensure that the connecting block 14 and the partition 4 are stably connected. Multiple partitions 4 are provided in the incubator 1. A moving groove is opened at the front end of the partition 4. A lever 9 is slidably connected in the moving groove. A limiting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lever 9. Multiple limiting holes 11 that are compatible with the limiting rod 12 are opened on the adjacent side of the left and right fixed strips 8. By moving the lever 9, the limiting rod 12 can be moved, so that the limiting rod 12 can be inserted into the limiting hole 11 or pulled out of the limiting hole 12.

[0027] Reference Figure 4-7The cultivation chamber 1 has a fixed outer wall on its left side connected to a fixed housing 3, which houses a lighting system. This system includes a light lamp 19, a light intensity adjustment module, a spectrum switching device, and a light sensor. The light lamp 19 primarily uses an LED array, which can integrate LEDs of different wavelengths, such as red, blue, and white light, as needed. The light intensity adjustment module controls the current using pulse width modulation technology, enabling continuous adjustment of light intensity. The spectrum switching device controls the switching combination of different wavelength LEDs through an independent circuit, meeting the spectral requirements of different stages, such as seed germination and seedling growth. The light sensor monitors the actual light value inside the chamber in real time and feeds it back to the control system to maintain stability. Users can preset lighting parameters through the control system. During the lighting phase, the control system activates the corresponding spectrum LEDs according to the set instructions, while simultaneously stabilizing the light intensity at the target value through the light intensity adjustment module. The light sensor continuously collects data; if the value deviates from the set value, the system immediately adjusts the current to compensate. During the dark phase, the system automatically cuts off the power supply to the light source, thus accurately simulating day and night light changes and providing a light environment that conforms to the seed's growth patterns. The fixed housing 3 is internally connected to the incubation chamber 1, and multiple illumination lamps 19 are installed inside the fixed housing 3. Multiple ventilation openings 6 are provided on the rear inner wall of the incubation chamber 1 to ensure air circulation inside the incubation chamber 1. Multiple heat dissipation vents are provided on the front and rear outer walls of the fixed housing 3 and the bottom front side of the incubation chamber 1. A limiting strip 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block 14, which engages with the wedge block 15, and the limiting strip 17 is elastic. Wheels are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the incubation chamber 1, and a handle is fixedly connected to the left front end of the rotating door 2.

[0028] Working principle: First, open the revolving door 2 using the handle. Then, adjust the height or spacing of the partition 4 as needed. First, pull the limiting rod 12 into the partition 4 using the lever 9, allowing the partition 4 to rotate. Since the rear end of the partition 4 is connected to the slider 13, the rear end of the partition 4 can slide, thus adjusting the height of the partition 4. When cleaning the partition 4, repeat the above operation and move the limiting strip 17, allowing the limiting strip 17 to slide out from the top of the slot 16, thereby allowing the partition 4 to connect with the slider 13. Disconnect the connecting block 14 and remove it from the slot 16. Remove the partition 4 to facilitate maintenance or cleaning of the partition 4. After cleaning and maintenance, align the partition 4 with the connecting block 14 on the fixed slide rail 7, insert the connecting block 14 back into the slot 16, and engage the limiting strip 17 with the wedge block 15. After the connecting blocks 14 on both sides are fixed, the partition 4 can be adjusted to the corresponding height as needed. By moving the lever 9, the limiting rod 12 can be inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 11 to fix the partition 4.

[0029] The box containing the seeds is then placed on the partition 4, and the rotating door 2 is closed. The staff can observe the seeds in the cultivation box 1 through the observation window. As the seeds undergo photosynthesis during cultivation, they release carbon dioxide, which raises the temperature inside the cultivation box 1. This causes fog and water droplets to adhere to the inside of the glass. The staff can move the cleaning sponge 18 by moving the moving rod 5 up and down, and then clean the inside of the glass with the cleaning sponge 18, so that the staff can better observe the condition of the seeds in the cultivation box 1.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
