PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a movable cultivation device which circularly moves a plurality of cultivation benches along a closed loop formed by a pair of vertical guide devices and a pair of lateral conveying devices, and smoothly delivers the cultivation benches between the vertical guide devices and the lateral conveying devices.SOLUTION: A vertical guide device 20 comprises a vertical guide rail 201 which guides a cultivation bench in a vertical direction while supporting the bottom surface side of the cultivation bench. The lateral conveying device 40 comprises a vertical guide member 402 which is connected to the vertical guide rail 201 of the vertical guide device 20 and a lift device 43 which drives to ascend/descend a vertical guide member 402 between an elevated position at which the vertical guide member 402 is connected to the guide rail 201 to merge into one linear guide rail and an evacuation position to evacuate below the elevated position. The vertical guide member and the lift device are disposed on a conveying upstream side and a conveying downstream side.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】一対の縦案内装置と一対の横搬送装置で形成された閉ループに沿って複数の栽培ベンチを循環移動する移動栽培装置において、縦案内装置と横搬送装置との間で栽培ベンチの受け渡しを円滑に行う。【解決手段】縦案内装置20は、栽培ベンチの底面側を支えて縦方向に案内する縦案内レール201を備え、横搬送装置40は、縦案内装置20の縦案内レール201に接続する縦案内部材402と、縦案内部材402が縦案内レール201に接続して一本の直線案内レールとなる上昇位置と、上昇位置より下方に退避する退避位置との間で縦案内部材402を昇降駆動する昇降装置43とを搬送上流側及び搬送下流側に備えている。【選択図】図12
