no. 1 Embodiment

[0038] First, an endoscope cleaning and disinfection apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 19 .

[0039] FIG. 1 shows a schematic appearance of an endoscope cleaning and disinfecting device 1 according to this embodiment. As shown in the figure, the endoscope cleaning and disinfection device 1 has a device main body 2, a top cover 3 as a cover that can be freely opened and closed on the upper surface of the device main body 2, and is free to attach and detach with respect to the device main body 2 and is used for cleaning. Brush box 20 for endoscope 50 . The main body 2 of the device has a housing 2A as an outer casing which is generally formed in a box shape, and various mechanical mechanisms and electrical mechanisms for cleaning and disinfecting the endoscope are installed inside the housing 2A. The terms "rinsing" and "sterilizing" mean the term "processing" which includes various other steps such as wa...

no. 2 Embodiment

[0101] An endoscope cleaning and disinfecting device according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 17 .

[0102] Compared with the endoscope cleaning and disinfecting device of the first embodiment, the endoscope cleaning and disinfecting device of the second embodiment is different in the shape of the guide member and stopper on the brush box, and the release pin on the box mounting part. of different shapes. In addition, the release pin itself is different in that it does not move the stopper but moves the guide member. Therefore, only this point of difference will be described, and the same reference numerals will be assigned to the same structures as those of the first embodiment, and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0103] In addition, in FIGS. 13 and 14 described later, the detailed shapes of the guide member 135 and the stopper 136 described later are omitted and schematically shown.

[0104] FIG. 10 p...

no. 3 Embodiment

[0126] An endoscope cleaning and disinfection apparatus according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 to 19 .

[0127] Compared with the endoscope cleaning and disinfection device of the above-mentioned second embodiment, the endoscope cleaning and disinfection device of the third embodiment has two points: the shape of the release pin and the movement of the release pin itself in the Y-axis direction by the moving mechanism. above is different. Therefore, only this point of difference will be described, and the same reference numerals will be assigned to the same structures as those of the second embodiment, and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0128] FIG. 18 partially shows a brush box 20B used in the endoscope cleaning and disinfecting apparatus of the third embodiment. As shown in the drawing, in this brush box 20B, a drive roller 34 , a guide member 235 as a guide mechanism, and a stopper 236 as a fixing mech...

Abstract

An endoscope washer-disinfector and a brush cassette are disclosed. The apparatus has a slot disposed on the casing, and the endoscope is cleaned and disinfected in the slot. A brush unit is detachably loaded to a loading part of the washer-disinfector. Inside the brush unit, first and second members are formed to hold the handle thread therebetween for making the handle thread advance and retreat to and from the duct of the endoscope. A brush is disposed at the front of the shaft tight for cleaning. When the brush unit is not mounted to the fixed part, a releasing lock device separates the second member from the first member to a set first position, and lock the separating state. When the brush unit is mounted to the fixed part, the releasing lock device opeates responsively to an mounting operation and releases the lock by the applied force and allows the second member to be moved to a second position where the first and second members hold the handle thread. When the brush unit is mounted to the fixed part, the lock is released because the force is applied to the lock part.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an endoscope cleaning and disinfection device which can clean the endoscope pipeline and a brush box which is freely mounted on the device. Background technique [0002] In medical treatment, an endoscope is used as an effective method for examining and treating the inside of a body cavity. An endoscope has an insertion portion inserted into a body cavity, and various endoscopes such as an air supply and water supply line, a front water supply line, and a treatment instrument insertion line that also serves as a suction line are provided inside the insertion portion. Mirror pipeline (channel). Therefore, once the endoscope is used, not only body fluid, dirt, etc. adhere to the outer surface of the insertion portion of the endoscope, but also body fluid, dirt, etc. adhere to the endoscope pipeline. Therefore, after use, it is necessary to sufficiently wash and disinfect the outer surface of the insertion portion of the endosco...
