PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive plant cultivation device designed so as to move a cultivation container in a horizontal direction in a simple structure.SOLUTION: The plant cultivation device is structured as follows: at least two supports 1 are set up so that two horizontal axes 7 parallel to each other are disposed to flexibly rotate but not to advance nor retreat, and the horizontal axes are respectively rotated in the same direction by a driving means 9 a plurality of cultivation containers 3 are disposed on each of the supports pairs of wheels 21 respectively corresponding to the horizontal axes are set up at the lower end of each of the cultivation containers the pairs of wheels have two wheels coming in contact with the rotating horizontal axes and rotating together with the horizontal axes the rotational axis lines of the wheel slant in directions different from each other based on the longitudinal direction of the horizontal axis so that the two wheels of the pairs of wheels make the cultivation containers go back and forward in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal axes corresponding to the rotational direction of each of the horizontal axes and a conveying means 41 for conveying the cultivation containers placed on one support 1a to another support 1b are set up.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】簡単な構造により栽培容器を水平方向に移動させるようにした安価な植物栽培装置を提供する。【解決手段】相互に平行な二本の水平軸7を回転自在かつ進退不能に配設すると共に各水平軸を駆動手段9により同一方向に回転させるようにしてなる支持体1を少なくとも二つ配設し、各支持体には複数の栽培容器3を載置し、各栽培容器は各水平軸に対応する車輪対21を下端に備え、該車輪対は回転する水平軸に接して該水平軸と共に回転する二つの車輪を備え、該車輪対における当該二つの車輪は、各水平軸の回転方向に応じて該水平軸の長さ方向に該栽培容器を進退させるように、該車輪の回転軸線が該水平軸の長さ方向に対して相互に異なる方向に傾斜し、更に、一つの支持体1a上に載置された栽培容器を別の支持体1bに移すための移送手段41を備えていることを特徴とする植物栽培装置。【選択図】図1
