The work had to be done manually.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a culture facility in which a pallet can be taken in and out without trouble between the inside of the sterilization pot and the outside of the sterilization pot. is there.

A cultivation facility according to the present invention is provided with a sterilization pot for performing a sterilization treatment on a cultivation container packed with a culture medium for cultivating an object to be cultivated, and a loading / unloading port for taking in and out a pallet on which a plurality of the cultivation containers are placed; The sterilization pot is a cultivation facility provided with an opening / closing door whose position can be freely changed between an open position for opening and closing the outlet and a closed position for closing,
The first feature of the invention is that the inside conveying means for conveying the pallet inside the sterilizing pot and the outside conveying means for conveying the pallet outside the sterilizing pot are such that the open / close door is in the open position. The pallet is configured to be able to be conveyed through the loading / unloading port in a certain state, and an end portion located on the loading / unloading port side of the outside-housing conveying means is connected to the opening / closing door with the outside-housing conveying means and the inside-housing conveying means Interference with the normal position where the pallet can be transported through the loading / unloading opening and the opening / closing door spaced from the normal position and repositioned between the closed position and the open position. It is configured to be movable to a retracted position, and a moving means is provided for moving the end portion to the normal position and the retracted position.

  That is, when the end portion located on the loading / unloading port side of the conveying means outside the hook is moved to the normal position by the moving means, the pallet passes through the loading / unloading port when the opening / closing door is in the open position. Can be transported. In addition, when the end portion located on the inlet / outlet side of the outside-carrying means is moved to the retracted position by the moving means, the end portion does not interfere with the opening / closing door whose position is changed between the closed position and the open position. It becomes like this.

  Therefore, by moving the end portion to the normal position, the pallet can be transported between the outside and inside of the sterilization pot through the entrance of the sterilization pot, so that the cultivation container placed on the pallet can be The pallet can be transported from the outside to the inside of the sterilization pot for sterilization, or the pallet after the sterilization process can be transported from the inside of the sterilization pot to the outside.
