In　the　plant　factories　using　stereoscopic　cultivation　systems,　the　cultivation　plate　transport　equipment　is　an　essential　component　of　production.　However,　there　are　problems,　such　as　high　labor　intensity,　low　levels　of　automation,　and　poor　versatility　of　existing　solutions,　that　can　affect　the　efficiency　of　cultivation　plate　transport　processes.　To　address　these　issues,　this　study　designed　a　cultivation　plate　transport　system　that　can　automatically　input　and　output　cultivation　plates,　and　can　flexibly　adjust　its　structure　to　accommodate　different　cultivation　frame　heights.　We　elucidated　the　working　principles　of　the　transport　system　and　carried　out　structural　design　and　parameter　calculation　for　the　lift　cart,　input　actuator,　and　output　actuator.　In　the　input　process,　we　used　dynamic　simulation　technology　to　obtain　an　optimum　propulsion　speed　of　0.3　m　center　dot　s-1.　In　the　output　process,　we　used　finite　element　numerical　simulation　technology　to　verify　that　the　deformation　of　the　cultivation　plate　and　the　maximum　stress　suffered　by　it　could　meet　the　operational　requirements.　Finally,　operation　and　performance　experiments　showed　that,　under　the　condition　of　satisfying　the　allowable　amount　of　positioning　error　in　the　horizontal　and　vertical　directions,　the　horizontal　operation　speed　was　0.2　m　center　dot　s-1,　the　maximum　positioning　error　was　2.87　mm,　the　vertical　operation　speed　was　0.3　m　center　dot　s-1,　and　the　maximum　positioning　error　was　1.34　mm.　Accordingly,　the　success　rate　of　the　transport　system　was　92.5-96.0%,　and　the　operational　efficiency　was　176-317　plates/h.　These　results　proved　that　the　transport　system　could　meet　the　operational　requirements　and　provide　feasible　solutions　for　the　automation　of　plant　factory　transport　equipment.
