The container that is sent in is supported by the roller body, and the roller body is raised by the elevating mechanism while preventing the container on the roller body from falling, and when the roller body rises to a predetermined position, it is moved upward by the fall prevention delivery mechanism. Since it can be automatically guided to the upper conveyor body, it does not require human labor to transfer the container, it can reduce labor cost and is safe, and it can use the work space in three dimensions, so it does not require a large work area. It is an excellent container transporter for mushroom cultivation.

The effect of claim 3 will be described.

A container in which the container in which mushrooms are cultivated is transferred by a conveyor, and in the middle of which various operations such as wrapping around a container are completed, the container is moved to a predetermined position for storage in the growth chamber. The incoming container is supported by the corner conveyor, and the container on this corner conveyor can be transferred by the roller conveyor in the direction perpendicular to the transfer direction of the corner conveyor by the tilting mechanism, so the work space can be used effectively. It is a labor-saving and safe container transport device for excellent mushroom cultivation.

The effect of claim 4 will be described.

When a container containing a container in which mushrooms are cultivated is transferred to a conveyor, and various operations such as wrapping a container around the container are completed, the container is moved to a predetermined position to be stored in the growing chamber. The roller conveyor supports the container that is raised by the lifting mechanism to the predetermined position by the lifting mechanism and is sent by the lifting mechanism, and the transfer surface of the roller conveyor is moved from the transfer surface of the roller conveyor by the lifting mechanism. When descending to a lower position, the container on the roller conveyor is supported by the roller conveyor and can be automatically led out to the next transfer conveyor, so the working space can be used effectively and the container can be automatically conveyed without the need for manpower to descend. It becomes a container transport device for mushroom cultivation that is excellent.
