Problems solved by technology

In an endoscope cleaning device having such a flow rate control function, there is a problem that, when using a conventional cleaning tube, cleaning water always leaks from the tube connector portion of the cleaning tube, and therefore cannot be cleaned normally. Flush water is flow controlled, and blockages in the channel cannot be detected correctly
[0007] In addition, in the endoscope cleaning device of Patent Document 2, when cleaning the contact portion with the contaminated connector by the attachment and detachment mechanism of the cleaning liquid supply nozzle, not only the flow control function cannot be used, but also the attachment and detachment mechanism is very complicated. such problem

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0030] First, according to Figure 1 to Figure 10 The first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0031] Figure 1 to Figure 10 Regarding the first embodiment of the present invention, figure 1 It is a three-dimensional view of the endoscope cleaning and disinfection device, figure 2 yes means figure 1 The perspective view of the endoscope cleaning and disinfection device with the top cover open and the endoscope freely accommodated in the cleaning and disinfection tank, image 3 It is an exploded perspective view showing the endoscope-side connector portion of the cleaning tube, Figure 4 is a sectional view of the housing body of the front housing, Figure 5 is the main body of the shell Figure 4 The V-V sectional view in, Image 6 is a sectional view showing the endoscope-side connector portion of the cleaning tube, Figure 7 It is a cross-sectional view for explaining the function of attaching the endoscope-side connector part to the tube head ...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0082] Next, according to Figure 11 A second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 11 A second embodiment of the present invention is a schematic view showing a pipeline structure for supplying alcohol from an alcohol container to a channel of an endoscope.

[0083] In the following description, the same reference numerals are used for the same configurations as those of the endoscope cleaning and disinfection apparatus 1 of the first embodiment described above, and detailed descriptions of the configurations are omitted.

[0084] However, as is well known, conventional endoscope cleaning and disinfecting apparatuses perform an alcohol rinsing process to promote drying of the inside of the endoscope channel. In this alcohol rinsing process, the conventional endoscope cleaning and disinfection device uses an alcohol pump to send the alcohol stored in the alcohol container to the MIX area (block) in the device, and uses a compressor to deliver it to ea...

Abstract

The invention provides a Washing tube and endoscope washing and disinfecting apparatus. The washing tube 40 of the invention is a washing tube for supplying a washing and disinfecting fluid to an endoscope conduit of an endoscope 100 placed in an endoscope washing and disinfecting apparatus 1, includes: a tube body 67, one end of which is connected to fluid supply sections 33 and 34 of the endoscope washing and disinfecting apparatus for sending a fluid, a connector section 41 disposed at the other end of the tube body and loosely and detachably fitted to a base 101 of the endoscope conduit, a sealing member 82 that is provided inside the connector section and comes into close contact with the base to keep the base and the connector section connected in a watertight manner, a valve body 63 that moves forward by a liquid sending pressure of the supplied fluid and a biasing member 62 provided inside the connector section for biasing the valve body backward.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an endoscope cleaning and disinfection device for automatically cleaning and disinfecting endoscopes and a cleaning tube used in the endoscope cleaning and disinfection device. Background technique [0002] In recent years, endoscopes have been widely used in the medical and industrial fields. In the endoscope used in the medical field, by inserting the elongated insertion part into the body cavity, the internal organs in the body cavity can be observed, or the treatment tool inserted into the passage of the treatment instrument included in the endoscope can be used as needed. Utensils for various treatments. [0003] Since endoscopes in the medical field are inserted into body cavities for the purpose of inspection and treatment, they need to be cleaned and disinfected for reuse after use. As is well known, cleaning and disinfection of the used endoscope is carried out by an endoscope cleaning device as disclosed in, for exa...
