SEEDLING CULTURE BOX STACKING MECHANISM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stack seedling culture boxes with high alignment accuracy in a seedling culture box stacking mechanism for stacking and locking the seedling culture boxes sequentially from below. SOLUTION: This seedling culture box stacking mechanism is provided with lift members 18 for lifting the seedling culture boxes w in a scoop-up manner, and elastically retreative locking claws 24 for stopping and locking the lifted seedling culture box w from both lateral side lower parts. The seedling culture box stacking mechanism is constituted to stack and lock the supplied seedling culture boxes w sequentially from below. A box lifting operation part of the lift member 18 is composed of a freely idling rotation body 21 to allow the lifted seedling culture box w to laterally roll, and the back face s1 on the seedling culture box lifting passage side of the locking claw 24 is formed as an inward inclined face.
