A timing pulley 4g is integrally provided on the rotary table 4f, and an endless timing belt 4j is installed between the servo pulley 4h and the motor pulley 4i. When the servo motor 4h is rotationally driven by a predetermined amount in a predetermined direction, the motor pulley 4i rotates, and the timing pulley 4g and the rotary table 4f rotate via the timing belt 4j (container rotating means). As a result, the container 1 placed on the support table 4a is rotated together with the rotary table 4f. A sprocket wheel and a chain may be used instead of the timing pulley and the timing belt. In addition, the structure of the raising / lowering mechanism 4 by which a plurality of (four in this embodiment) support rods 4b are supported by standing on the support plate 4c below the support table 4a is the same as in FIG. The cylinder rod 4e of the elevating cylinder 4d passes through the rotary table 4f and is connected to the support plate 4c.

  Here, the process of accommodating the medium filling bag P in the container 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 5A1, the medium filling bag P is sequentially intermittently conveyed on the conveyor 3 in the arrow direction. The culture medium filling bag P on the leading side (downstream end in the transport direction) is in a standby state by pressing against the long side portion 3a1 of the L-shaped guide 3a. The empty container 1 is set on the support table 4a. When the container 1 is set, as shown in FIG. 5A2, the elevating cylinder 4d is operated so that the tip of the support rod 4c is fitted into the fitting hole 1f of the insole plate 1e, and the insole plate 1e is attached to the container container main body 1a. It pushes up to the 1st height position equivalent to the upper edge part of the side part 1c, and waits. Thereby, the height of the insole board 1e becomes substantially the same as the height of the conveyor 2. Between the conveyor 2 and the container 1, as shown to FIG. 5A1, the height auxiliary table 2a equivalent to the conveyor 2 and the insole board 1e may be provided.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 5B1 and B2, the rodless cylinder 3 b is operated and the L-shaped guide 3 a pushes the medium-filled bag P on the leading side (downstream end in the transport direction) toward the container 1. The L-shaped guide 3a places the medium filling bag P by pushing it into the front side of the insole board 1e.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 5C1 and C2, the rodless cylinder 3b returns from the container 1 side to the conveyor 2 side along the guide rail 3c. Then, the servo motor 4h is driven to rotate, and the rotary table 4f and the support table 4a are rotated 90 degrees, for example, counterclockwise. Further, the next medium filling bag P is conveyed by the conveyor 2, and the top medium filling bag P is pressed against the long side portion 3a1 of the L-shaped guide 3a and stands by.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 6A1 and A2, the rodless cylinder 3b is operated, and the L-shaped guide 3a pushes the leading medium-filled bag P toward the container 1. The L-shaped guide 3a places the medium filling bag P by pushing it into the front side of the insole board 1e.

  Thereafter, the rodless cylinder 3b returns from the container 1 side to the conveyor 2 side along the guide rail 3c, as in FIGS. 5C1 and C2. Then, the servo motor 4h is driven to rotate, and the rotary table 4f and the support table 4a are rotated 90 degrees, for example, counterclockwise. As shown in FIGS. 6A1 and A2, the rodless cylinder 3 b is operated and the L-shaped guide 3 a pushes the leading medium filling bag P toward the container 1. The L-shaped guide 3a repeats the operation of pushing the medium-filled bag P in front of the insole board 1e and placing it four times. As shown in FIGS. 6B1 and 6B, a total of four mediums are placed on the insole slab 1e. The filling bag P is placed on the insole board 1e in a vertically and horizontally staggered posture, and is placed as much as possible to reduce the generation of a useless space between the bags.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 6B1 and B2, the elevating cylinder 4d is operated so that the insole plate 1e is indicated by an arrow from a first height position equivalent to the upper edge portion of the side surface portion 1c of the container container main body 1a. The container container 1a is lowered toward the bottom surface 1b.
Since the L-shaped guide 3a returns to the downstream end position in the conveyance direction of the conveyor 2, the next medium filling bag P is conveyed by the conveyor 2, and the medium filling bag P on the leading side (downstream end in the conveyance direction) is L-shaped. Is pressed against the short side 3a2 of the guide 3a and waits.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 7A1 and A2, when the insole plate 1e is lowered to the second height position overlapping the bottom surface portion 1b of the container container main body 1a, four medium filling bags P are accommodated in the container container main body 1a. The insole board 1e is delivered to the container 1. The support rod 4b further descends, comes out of the fitting hole 1f of the insole plate 1e, and further descends below the mesh 1d (see FIG. 1B) of the bottom surface portion 1b to stand by.

  In this state, as shown in FIGS. 7B1 and B2, the container 1 supported by the support table 4a can be sent to a subsequent process. The next container 1 is set on the support table 4a, and the same operation of storing the medium filling bag P is repeated.

  In this way, the medium filling bag P is pushed from the top side by the bag pushing device 3 while the medium filling bag P is conveyed by the conveyor 2, and the first height position equivalent to the upper edge portion of the side surface portion of the container container body 1a. Is placed on the insole plate 1e, and when placed on the insole plate 1e, the elevating mechanism 4 lowers the insole plate 1e to the second height position overlapping the bottom surface portion 1b of the container container body 1a, The work of transferring a plurality of medium-filled bags P from the transfer line into the container container main body 1a can be automated to increase work efficiency and save labor. Further, each time the medium filling bag P is placed on the insole plate 1e, the container container body 1a is rotated 90 degrees, and the bag pushing device 3 repeats the operation of pushing the next medium filling bag P into the insole board 1e and placing it. Therefore, it is possible to automate the transfer operation by placing the medium-filled bags P on the insole board 1e in vertical and horizontal postures as much as possible to reduce the generation of useless spaces between the bags.

In the embodiment described above, the container container main body 1a has been illustrated as having a rectangular shape, but is not limited thereto, and may be another shape such as a circle. Similarly, the shape of the insole board 1e is not limited to a rectangular shape, and may be another shape such as a circular shape.
Moreover, although the form of the culture medium filling bag P also illustrated the thing of the planar view rectangular shape or planar view square shape, other forms, such as a planar view circular shape, may be sufficient.
