Connector receiver, connector connection system, light source device, and endoscope

Abstract

The disclosed connector receiver is characterized by being equipped with: a receptacle (23); contacts (25, 26) that are provided to the receptacle (23) and to which a first electric contact provided to the outer peripheral surface of a first fitting section (15a) and a second fitting section (15b) electrically connects; a receptacle holder (24) that has a first gap (A) to the outer periphery of the receptacle (23) and that holds the receptacle (23) in a manner such that the receptacle (23) is independently movable; an LG socket (33), that has a hole section (33h) to which an LG connector (10) fits leaving a second gap to the outer periphery of said LG connector (10); and a positioning ring (34) that immobilizes the end of the LG connector (10) fitted into the hole section (33h).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a connector base for free connection of connectors, a connector connection system, a light source device and an endoscope. Background technique [0002] In recent years, endoscopes have been widely used in medical and industrial fields. In the endoscope used in the medical field, by inserting the elongated insertion part into the body cavity, the organs in the body cavity can be observed, or if necessary, the endoscope is inserted into the treatment instrument insertion channel. Disposal implements for various disposals. [0003] Here, among endoscopes having a structure for irradiating light provided by a light source device in a body cavity using a light guide provided in the endoscope, a structure as follows is known: In the endoscope connector, by connecting the endoscope connector to the connector seat provided on the light source device, the elongated light guide connector (hereinafter referred to as "LG connection") pr...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, there is a problem as follows: after embedding, the LG connector is not connected properly and is not secure, not only sometimes the amount of light supplied from the light source to the end face of the LG connector is lower than the set amount of light, but also, as described in Patent As disclosed in Document 1, in the structure in which the first electrical contact provided on the endoscope connector is electrically connected to the second electrical contact of the connector holder as the LG connector is inserted, there may be a gap between the contacts. connection will be unreliable

[0012] In addition, the above-mentioned problem is not limited to the connection of the endoscope connector, even in the case of connectors of products other than endoscopes in which LG connectors and electrical connectors are respectively provided.
