PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multistage cultivation device and a cultivation system capable of maximumly utilizing natural light and managing plant during cultivation under a pertinent environment.SOLUTION: A multistage cultivation device comprises: a receiving stage on which cultivation beds arranged on two or more stages with an interval therebetween and a cultivation container are loaded a movement mechanism which may transport the receiving stage a changer which changes the cultivation beds. Upper side and periphery of the highest stage of the cultivation beds is opened or covered with a translucent material or a net having a daylighting property so that the sunshine may be admitted. The movement mechanism is arranged on both of or either of the receiving stage and/or the cultivation beds. The changer comprises a supporting part which supports the receiving stage and a lift mechanism which can make the supporting part stop moving up and down according to the height of the cultivation beds. The receiving stage is: arranged at a position outside of the cultivation bed and outside of one end or both ends of the receiving stage in its moving direction and moved above the cultivation beds. The receiving stage may be supported at the same height of the cultivation beds by the supporting part. The receiving stage on the supporting part is transported to a cultivation bed located at the same height with the supporting part.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】 自然光を最大限活用でき、栽培中の植物を適切な環境下で管理できる多段栽培装置と栽培システムを提供する。【解決手段】 間隔をあけて二段以上設けられた栽培ベッドと栽培容器を載せる受台と受台を移動可能な移動機構と、栽培ベッドを入替えする入替機を備え、最上段の栽培ベッドの上方及び周囲は太陽光を採光できるように開放されるか又は透光材若しくは採光性のあるネットでカバーされ、移動機構は受台と栽培ベッドの双方又はいずれか一方に設けられ、入替機は受台を支持できる支持部と、支持部を栽培ベッドの高さに合わせて昇降停止可能な昇降機構を備え、栽培ベッドの外側であって受台の移動方向一端又は両端の外側に配置されて、栽培ベッド上を送られる受台を受けて栽培ベッドと同じ高さの支持部で支持でき、支持部上の受台をその支持部と同じ高さの栽培ベッドに送り出すことができるようにした。【選択図】図1
