Abstract
Description
Cleaning and disinfecting equipment and chemical bottles
[0001] The present invention relates to a cleaning and disinfecting apparatus that mainly cleans and disinfects used endoscopes, and a chemical solution bottle that is attached to the cleaning and disinfecting apparatus.
[0002] Endoscopes are widely used for internal examinations, treatments, etc. Medical endoscopes in particular are inserted into the body and therefore need to be cleaned and disinfected after use. For this reason, washer-disinfectors (endoscope washer-disinfectors) that clean used endoscopes are also widely used.
[0003] For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 2010-167284 discloses an endoscope washer-disinfector that cleans and disinfects endoscopes. In conventional endoscope washer-disinfectors, when injecting a chemical solution, the user pulls out a tray from the front panel and places a chemical solution bottle on the tray.
[0004] The user then pushes the tray back in, and brings the lid of the closing part that caps the chemical solution bottle against a blade provided in the endoscope washer-disinfector, breaking it and opening the bottle.
[0005] However, conventional endoscope washer-disinfectors have a problem in that when installing a liquid medicine bottle, the user has to take the trouble of pulling out the tray and pushing it in. Furthermore, the liquid medicine bottle is provided with a sturdy, hard lid to reliably seal the liquid medicine stored inside in case of leakage.
[0006] Therefore, in conventional endoscope washer-disinfectors, the user must apply force to push the tray in, causing the blade built into the device to break and open the lid of the chemical bottle.However, with conventional endoscope washer-disinfectors, the weight of the tray is added, which poses a problem: the user must push the tray in with a large amount of force.
[0007] Therefore, the present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a cleaning and disinfecting device that can easily and without great force attach and open a chemical solution bottle, and a chemical solution bottle to be attached to the cleaning and disinfecting device.
[0008] In one aspect of the present invention, a cleaning and disinfecting apparatus comprises a bottle mounting section provided on the apparatus body, a rail provided on the bottle mounting section and having an engaging section, a chemical solution bottle whose position is guided by the rail when it is attached to or detached from the bottle mounting section, an engaged section provided on the chemical solution bottle and engaging with the engaging section, a closing section that seals the chemical solution bottle, and a blade section provided on the bottle mounting section that breaks the closing section of the chemical solution bottle when the chemical solution bottle is attached by being pushed deep into the bottle mounting section by a user.
[0009] In one aspect of the present invention, the chemical solution bottle is a chemical solution bottle that can be attached and detached to a bottle mounting section provided in a cleaning and disinfecting apparatus, and is equipped with a closure section that is broken by a blade section provided on the bottle mounting section when the bottle mounting section is attached, and a rail groove that engages with a rail provided on the bottle mounting section to guide the mounting position on the bottle mounting section.
[0010] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a cleaning and disinfecting apparatus in which a chemical solution bottle can be attached and opened without much effort or force, and a chemical solution bottle to be attached to the cleaning and disinfecting apparatus.
[0011]
[0012] The present invention will be described below. In the following description, the drawings based on the respective embodiments are schematic, and it should be noted that the relationship between the thickness and width of each part, the thickness ratio of each part, etc. may differ from the actual ones, and the drawings may also include parts whose dimensional relationships and ratios differ from each other.
[0013] In the following description, the downward direction refers to the direction of gravity (vertically downward), the upward direction refers to the direction opposite to the direction of gravity (vertically upward), and the left-right direction refers to the horizontal direction perpendicular to the vertical direction.
[0014] 1, an endoscope reprocessor (Automatic Endoscope Reprocessor / AER) is exemplified as an endoscope washer-disinfector 1. Note that the present embodiment described below is not limited to endoscopes, and is applicable to various types of washer-disinfectors.
[0015] The endoscope cleaning and disinfecting apparatus 1 is an apparatus for regenerating contaminated used endoscopes, endoscope parts, accessories, etc. (none of which are shown).
[0016] The regeneration process here is not particularly limited, and may refer to, for example, a rinsing process with water, a cleaning process to remove organic matter and other contaminants, a disinfection process to neutralize specific microorganisms, or a sterilization process to eliminate or kill all microorganisms. Note that the endoscope washer-disinfector 1 may perform a combination of the above processes.
[0017] The accessories are not particularly limited, and examples include a suction button that is attached to the endoscope during use and removed from the endoscope during recycling, an air / water supply button, or a tip cover that covers the tip of the endoscope.
[0018] First, we will explain the configuration of the endoscope washer-disinfector 1. The endoscope washer-disinfector 1 has an apparatus main body 2. The apparatus main body 2 has an operation panel 3, an ID input unit 4, and a top cover 5.
[0019] The device main body 2 has a liquid medicine container installation section 7, which is a bottle installation section that opens in the front panel 6. A water supply hose connection port 8 is provided in one corner at the rear of the device main body 2. This water supply hose connection port 8 is connected to a water faucet via a water supply hose (not shown).
[0020] The operation panel 3 can display various information and can input various instructions. The form of the operation panel 3 is not limited to that shown in Fig. 1, and may be formed, for example, by an LED panel and a keyboard that allows key input.
[0021] The ID input unit 4 can input a user ID. The ID input unit 4 is configured, for example, by an RFID reader that can read the user ID from an RFID tag. When the user ID is input, the ID input unit 4 outputs the user ID to a control unit (not shown) inside the device.
[0022] The ID input unit 4 is not limited to an RFID reader, but may be, for example, a barcode reader that reads barcodes or a keyboard that allows key input.
[0023] The top cover 5 is provided on the top of the device main body 2 so as to be able to be opened and closed freely. When the top cover 5 is opened, a treatment tank (not shown here) is exposed at the top of the device main body 2. The treatment tank is a cleaning and disinfecting tank that accommodates the endoscope, endoscope parts, and accessories that are to be regenerated, and that stores liquids such as cleaning liquid, disinfectant liquid, and rinse liquid.
[0024] The liquid medicine container setting section 7 is a storage section for mounting a liquid medicine bottle unit 10, which is a liquid medicine container. The front panel 6 may be provided with a door section for opening and closing the opening of the liquid medicine container setting section 7.
[0025] As shown in FIG. 2, the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is a so-called cassette type in which two types of liquid medicine bottles, a first liquid medicine bottle 11 and a second liquid medicine bottle 12, are arranged side by side.
[0026] The first chemical bottle 11 stores a disinfectant, for example, a concentrated peracetic acid agent, and the second chemical bottle 12 stores a buffer.
[0027] That is, first liquid medicine bottle 11 and second liquid medicine bottle 12 are liquid medicine containers that store different drugs, namely, the main drug and a buffer. Note that liquid medicine bottle unit 10 may be composed of a single liquid medicine bottle or three or more liquid medicine bottles.
[0028] 2 to 6, the first chemical liquid bottle 11 and the second chemical liquid bottle 12 each have a container body 13, 14, which is the bottle body, and a cap 15, 16. The container body 13, 14 has a generally box-like shape in which liquid is stored. Each of the caps 15, 16 has a generally cylindrical shape.
[0029] Each cap 15, 16 is attached to a substantially cylindrical mouth 13a, 14a through which the liquid of the agent or buffer stored in each container body 13, 14 is discharged. Each cap 15, 16 is attached to the mouth 13a, 14a of each container body 13, 14 by screwing or the like.
[0030] Each of the caps 15, 16 has a closing portion 17, 18, which is a lid portion. Each of the closing portions 17, 18 is integrally formed to close the inner hole of each of the caps 15, 16. This allows each of the container bodies 13, 14 to be kept airtight and liquidtight.
[0031] Each of the container bodies 13, 14 has a concave rail groove 21, 22 on one of the side walls 13b, 14b. That is, each of the container bodies 13, 14 has a concave rail groove 21, 22 formed on one of the opposing side surfaces. The rail groove 21, 22 of each of the container bodies 13, 14 constitutes an engaged portion.
[0032] When first liquid medicine bottle 11 is attached to liquid medicine container installation section 7, first liquid medicine bottle 11 has rail groove 21 formed as a recess in left side wall 13b as viewed from bottom 13c of container body 13, which is the side opposite cap 15. That is, first liquid medicine bottle 11 has rail groove 21 formed in right side wall 13b of container body 13 as viewed from cap 15.
[0033] When second liquid medicine bottle 12 is attached to liquid medicine container installation section 7, second liquid medicine bottle 12 has rail groove 22 formed as a recess in right side wall 14b as viewed from bottom 14c of container body 14, which is the opposite side from cap 16. That is, second liquid medicine bottle 12 has rail groove 22 formed in left side wall 14b of container body 14 as viewed from cap 16.
[0034] Each of the rail grooves 21, 22 formed in the side walls 13b, 14b of each of the container bodies 13, 14 is a linear groove portion parallel to the central axis X, which is the longitudinal axis of each of the container bodies 13, 14. Here, each of the rail grooves 21, 22 is formed at a position that is on the upper side of each of the container bodies 13, 14 when the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is attached to the liquid medicine container installation portion 7.
[0035] In addition, when the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is attached to the liquid medicine container installation section 7, the position of each rail groove 21, 22 is not limited to the upper side of each container body 13, 14, but may be at any position on each side wall 13b, 14b.
[0036] The liquid medicine bottle unit 10 configured in this manner is configured so that the first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the second liquid medicine bottle 12 are paired and arranged side by side with their caps 15 and 16 both positioned downward, and is attached to the liquid medicine container installation section 7 by the user.
[0037] That is, the caps 15, 16 of the container bodies 13, 14 are attached at positions eccentric to the central axis X. Therefore, the openings 13a, 14a of the container bodies 13, 14 to which the caps 15, 16 are screwed are formed at positions eccentric to the central axis X.
[0038] The liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is laid down so that the caps 15, 16 are positioned downward when it is attached to the liquid medicine container installation part 7. As a result, the liquid of the agent and buffer in each container body 13, 14 is discharged from the openings 13a, 14a through the caps 15, 16 by its own weight to the outside without remaining inside the container body 13, 14.
[0039] 7, the chemical solution container mounting portion 7 has two rails 33, 34 formed from a metal such as stainless steel or a hard resin. The rails 33, 34 are fixed to the left and right inner wall surfaces 31, 32 of the chemical solution container mounting portion 7.
[0040] Each rail 33, 34 has an engaging protrusion 35, 36 that protrudes inward into the liquid medicine container setting portion 7. Each rail 33, 34 is provided on each inner wall surface 31, 32 at a predetermined angle inclined downward toward the depth of the liquid medicine container setting portion 7, which is the mounting direction of the liquid medicine bottle unit 10.
[0041] As shown in Figure 8, when the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is attached to the liquid medicine container installation section 7, the engaging protrusions 35, 36 fit into the rail grooves 21, 22 formed in the container bodies 13, 14 of the first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the second liquid medicine bottle 12.
[0042] The engaging protrusions 35, 36 have a cross-sectional convex shape that is approximately similar to the cross-sectional concave shape of each of the rail grooves 21, 22. The engaging protrusions 35, 36 constitute engaging portions for the rail grooves 21, 22, which are engaged portions.
[0043] The liquid medicine container installation section 7 has two cap placement sections 43, 44 arranged side by side below the deep wall 37 that closes the device body 2 from the top to the bottom. Each of the cap placement sections 43, 44 is a fluid path inlet that guides the liquid in the first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the second liquid medicine bottle 12 to a liquid medicine tank (not shown).
[0044] Each cap placement portion 43, 44 has a cup shape into which the caps 15, 16 of the first and second liquid medicine bottles 11, 12 are inserted when the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is attached to the liquid medicine container installation portion 7. At this time, the ends of the caps 15, 16 abut against the cap placement portions 43, 44.
[0045] 9 and 10, a fluid conduit 45, which is a fluid path formed in a predetermined curved shape and communicating with a chemical tank, is connected to each of the cap placement parts 43, 44. Blade parts 41, 42, which are closure part breaking members, are integrally joined to each of the cap placement parts 43, 44.
[0046] The blade portion 42 is a sharp tubular member made of metal such as stainless steel. The blade portions 41, 42 have a sharp shape that can pierce and break the closing portions 17, 18 of the caps 15, 16 inserted into the cap placement portions 43, 44, respectively.
[0047] 9 and 10 only show the first chemical solution bottle 11 and the inner wall surface 31 side of the chemical solution container installation section 7 located on the left side when viewed from the front of the endoscope washer-disinfector 1.
[0048] The liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is configured by combining and fixing a first liquid medicine bottle 11 and a second liquid medicine bottle 12. The first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the second liquid medicine bottle 12 are configured to have rail grooves 21, 22 on opposing side walls 13b, 14b of each container body 14.
[0049] In addition, the endoscope cleaning and disinfecting apparatus 1 is configured to have rails 33, 34 on the left and right inner wall surfaces 31, 32 of the chemical solution container installation section 7, each of which has engaging protrusions 35, 36 that fit into and engage with each rail groove 21, 22 of the chemical solution bottle unit 10.
[0050] When attaching the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 to the liquid medicine container installation section 7 of the endoscope washer-disinfector 1, the user fits and engages the engaging protrusions 35, 36 of the rails 33, 34 provided on the liquid medicine container installation section 7 with the rail grooves 21, 22 of the container body 13 of the first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the second liquid medicine bottle 12. At this time, the user inserts the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 into the opening of the liquid medicine container installation section 7 from the side of the caps 15, 16.
[0051] The user then presses the bottoms 13c, 14c of the container bodies 13, 14 and pushes the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 toward the depth of the liquid medicine container setting section 7. At this time, the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is guided along the rails 33, 34 due to the engagement between the rail grooves 21, 22 and the engaging protrusions 35, 36. Therefore, the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is guided by the rails 33, 34 and set into the liquid medicine container setting section 7 while maintaining its posture.
[0052] In the liquid medicine bottle unit 10, the caps 15, 16 of the first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the second liquid medicine bottle 12 are inserted into the cap arrangement portions 43, 44 provided in the liquid medicine container installation portion 7. Then, the closure portions 17, 18 of the caps 15, 16 are pierced and broken by the blade portions 41, 42 of the cap arrangement portions 43, 44.
[0053] As a result, the agent in the first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the buffer agent in the second liquid medicine bottle 12 are discharged from the caps 15, 16, which have been opened by rupturing the closures 17, 18, toward the cap placement sections 43, 44. The agent and the buffer agent then flow through the fluid conduits 45 into the liquid medicine tanks (not shown).
[0054] In this way, the endoscope washer-disinfector 1 is configured so that the user can mount the liquid medicine bottle unit 10, which contains the liquid medicine, by directly pushing it into the liquid medicine container mounting section 7, which opens in the front panel 6. This saves the user the trouble of having to pull out and push in a tray, which is provided in conventional endoscope washer-disinfectors.
[0055] Furthermore, since the weight of the tray is not added to the endoscope washer-disinfector 1, the amount of pushing force required when attaching the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is reduced compared to conventional devices.
[0056] As described above, the endoscope washer-disinfector 1 of this embodiment is configured so that a chemical solution container can be attached and opened easily and without requiring a great deal of force.
[0057] Modifications of the configuration of the endoscope washer-disinfector 1 or the chemical solution bottle unit 10 will be described below. (First Modification)
[0058] 11 , the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 of this modified example has handle portions 23 on the bottom portions 13c, 14c of the respective container bodies 13, 14, which are grips (handles) that the user grasps when attaching or detaching the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 to or from the liquid medicine container installation portion 7. In other words, the handle portions 23 form a grip when the user holds the liquid medicine bottle unit 10.
[0059] The handle portion 23 may be integrally formed when the container bodies 13, 14 are manufactured using a preform or the like, or may be attached to the container bodies 13, 14 later.
[0060] The liquid medicine bottle unit 10 configured in this manner is provided with the handle portion 23, which makes it easy to handle when attaching or detaching it to or from the liquid medicine container installation portion 7. (Second Modification)
[0061] 12, the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 of this modification has a detachable handle holder 24 attached to the bottom portion 13c, 14c of each container body 13, 14. The handle portion 23 described in the first modification is provided on the back surface 24a of the handle holder 24.
[0062] The handle holder 24 is a substantially rectangular cover body made of rubber, resin, elastomer, etc. The handle holder 24 is attached so as to integrally cover the bottoms 13c, 14c of the container bodies 13, 14.
[0063] The handle holder 24 has recessed cutouts 25 and 26 that expose the rail grooves 21 and 22 formed in the side walls 13b and 14b of the container bodies 13 and 14. The handle holder 24 also serves as a fixing member that integrally fixes the first and second liquid medicine bottles 11 and 12.
[0064] The liquid medicine bottle unit 10 configured in this manner has a handle holder 24 with a handle portion 23 attached to each of the container bodies 13, 14, which makes it easy to handle when attaching or detaching the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 to or from the liquid medicine container installation portion 7, similar to the first modified example. (Third modified example)
[0065] As shown in Fig. 13, the upper and lower corners of each rail 33, 34 provided on the liquid medicine container installation section 7 of this modified example, from which each engaging protrusion 35, 36 protrudes, are chamfered into a curved surface shape R1. As shown in Fig. 14, the corners of the recessed shape of each rail groove 21, 22 of each container body 13, 14 of the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 of this modified example, which engage with each engaging protrusion 35, 36, are also chamfered into a curved surface shape R2.
[0066] When the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 configured in this manner is attached to the liquid medicine container setting section 7, the rail grooves 21, 22 of the container bodies 13, 14 can be easily fitted into the engaging protrusions 35, 36 of the rails 33, 34. Furthermore, the rail grooves 21, 22 of the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 are less likely to get caught on the engaging protrusions 35, 36, and frictional resistance is reduced, so the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 can be smoothly attached to and detached from the liquid medicine container setting section 7. (Fourth Modification)
[0067] 15 , the two rails 33, 34 provided on the drug solution container installation section 7 of this modification have a plurality of (here, two) engaging protrusions 35 on one side on the right side and one (single) engaging protrusion 36 on the other side on the left side. Each of the container bodies 13, 14 of this modification has a plurality of (here, two) rail grooves 21 on one side on the right side and one (single) rail groove 22 on the other side on the left side so as to engage with the respective engaging protrusions 35, 36.
[0068] That is, the first liquid medicine bottle 11 storing the present agent has two rail grooves 21. The second liquid medicine bottle 12 storing the buffer agent has one rail groove 22.
[0069] In the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 configured in this manner, the left-right direction in which the rail grooves 21, 22 of the container bodies 13, 14 can engage with the engaging protrusions 35, 36 of the rails 33, 34 is uniquely determined. Therefore, the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 can be attached to the liquid medicine container installation section 7 without mistaking the positions of the first liquid medicine bottle 11 containing the present drug and the second liquid medicine bottle 12 containing the buffer. (Fifth Modification)
[0070] 16 , the two rails 33, 34 provided on the drug solution container installation section 7 of this modified example have a plurality (five in this case) of left and right engaging protrusions 35, 36. Each of the container bodies 13, 14 of this modified example has a plurality (five in this case) of left and right rail grooves 21, 22 that engage with the respective engaging protrusions 35, 36.
[0071] In this way, there may be a plurality of engaging protrusions 35, 36 on the two rails 33, 34 and a plurality of rail grooves 21, 22 on the medicine bottle unit 10. Although the left and right engaging protrusions 35, 36 and the left and right rail grooves 21, 22 are illustrated as being equal in number (five), the numbers on the left and right do not necessarily have to be the same. (Sixth Modification)
[0072] As shown in FIG. 17 , the endoscope washer-disinfector 1 of this modified example has a first limit switch 55 and a second limit switch 56 in the liquid medicine container installation section 7 for detecting the position of the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 .
[0073] One of the liquid medicine bottle units 10, here the second liquid medicine bottle 12, has a recessed step 14d in a portion of the side surface of the container body 14, which becomes the upper surface when attached to the liquid medicine container installation part 7. This step 14d is formed in a portion of the side surface of the container body 14 that faces the first limit switch 55 and the second limit switch 56.
[0074] The first limit switch 55 and the second limit switch 56 detect the two mounting positions of the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 by the rollers 57 and 58 of each actuator fitting into the step portion 14 d of the second liquid medicine bottle 12 .
[0075] 18, similarly to the second modification, the two rails 33, 34 provided on the drug solution container installation section 7 have a plurality of (two in this case) engaging protrusions 35 on one side on the right side and one (single) engaging protrusion 36 on the other side on the left side. Each container body 13, 14 in this modification has a plurality of (two in this case) rail grooves 21 on one side on the right side and one rail groove 22 on the other side on the left side so as to engage with the respective engaging protrusions 35, 36.
[0076] 19, the two rails 33, 34 provided on the drug solution container installation section 7 may be arranged such that one engaging protrusion 35 on the right side and the other engaging protrusion 36 on the left side are positioned offset in the vertical direction. Accordingly, each container body 13, 14 is formed such that one rail groove 21 on the right side and the other rail groove 22 on the left side are positioned offset in the vertical direction so as to engage with the respective engaging protrusions 35, 36.
[0077] In the liquid medicine bottle unit 10, the left-right direction in which the rail grooves 21, 22 of the container bodies 13, 14 engage with the engaging protrusions 35, 36 of the rails 33, 34 is uniquely determined. That is, the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is attached to the liquid medicine container installation part 7 so that the second liquid medicine bottle 12 reliably faces the first limit switch 55 and the second limit switch 56.
[0078] Therefore, when first limit switch 55 and second limit switch 56 detect the attachment position of liquid medicine bottle unit 10, rollers 57, 58 of each actuator are reliably fitted in opposition to step portion 14d of container body 14 of second liquid medicine bottle 12. This allows endoscope washer-disinfector 1 to correctly detect attachment of liquid medicine bottle unit 10 to liquid medicine container installation section 7.
[0079] In other words, if the first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the second liquid medicine bottle 12 of the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 are attached to the liquid medicine container installation section 7 with the left and right reversed, the first limit switch 55 and the second limit switch 56 will not be able to detect their positions correctly, and for example, the blade sections 41 and 42 of each cap arrangement section 43 and 44 may cause the closure sections 17 and 18 of each cap 15 and 16 to be partially opened, which could cause liquid to leak into the device.
[0080] In this way, the endoscope washer-disinfector 1 of this modification can prevent the agent in the first chemical solution bottle 11 and the buffer in the second chemical solution bottle 12 from leaking into the apparatus. Note that Figures 17 and 18 only show the second chemical solution bottle 12 side, which is located on the right side when viewed from the front of the endoscope washer-disinfector 1. (Seventh Modification)
[0081] 20 , this modification is configured with one liquid medicine container 46, and a partition wall 47 is provided in the center of this liquid medicine container 46. The liquid medicine container 46 is divided by partition wall 47 into one of the left and right sides, in this case, a first internal space 46a on the left side, in which case the agent is stored. Furthermore, the liquid medicine container 46 is configured to be divided by partition wall 47 into the other of the left and right sides, in this case, a second internal space 46b on the right side, in which case the buffer agent is stored.
[0082] The liquid chemical container 46 has a concave rail groove 48 on one side surface located at the bottom when attached to the liquid chemical container setting part 7. The liquid chemical container setting part 7 has a rail 51 provided on the floor part 38 on the bottom surface.
[0083] Rail 51 has engaging protrusions 52 that protrude upward from chemical solution container mounting portion 7. When chemical solution container 46 is attached to chemical solution container mounting portion 7, engaging protrusions 52 engage with rail grooves 48, thereby guiding chemical solution container 46 along rail 51.
[0084] Even with the configuration in which rail groove 48 of drug solution container 46 configured in this manner engages with engaging protrusion 52 of rail 51 of drug solution container setting section 7, the left-right direction is uniquely determined. Therefore, drug solution container 46 can be attached to drug solution container setting section 7 without mistaking the positions of first internal space 46a in which the agent is stored and second internal space 46b in which the buffering agent is stored. (Eighth Modification)
[0085] As shown in Fig. 21 , this modification has a single chemical solution container 46, similar to the sixth modification. Chemical solution container 46 has a through-hole 49 with a rectangular cross section in the center. When chemical solution container 46 is attached to chemical solution container setting section 7, a rod-shaped rail 53 provided on chemical solution container setting section 7 is inserted into through-hole 49 to guide chemical solution container 46. Note that through-hole 49 and rail 53 have approximately similar cross-sectional shapes. (Ninth Modification)
[0086] As shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, rails 33, 34 provided on chemical solution container setting section 7 of this modified example are curved in an arc shape from above to below along left and right inner wall surfaces 31, 32.
[0087] Similarly, the engaging protrusions 35, 36 of the rails 33, 34 are curved in an arc shape. In addition, the left and right rail grooves 21, 22 of the container bodies 13, 14 of this modified example are curved in an arc shape so as to engage with the engaging protrusions 35, 36.
[0088] When the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is configured in this manner, in the initial stage of attachment to the liquid medicine container mounting portion 7 and in the final stage of removal, the rail grooves 21, 22 engage with the rails 33, 34, causing the caps 15, 16 to assume an obliquely upward position.
[0089] In particular, when removing the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 from the liquid medicine container mounting section 7, the remaining liquid of the agent and buffer in each container body 13, 14 can be prevented from flowing out from each cap 15, 16 into the liquid medicine container mounting section 7. Therefore, the endoscope washer-disinfector 1 can prevent adverse effects on internal devices due to remaining liquid inside the apparatus from the liquid medicine container mounting section 7.
[0090] 22 and 23 only show the first chemical solution bottle 11 and the inner wall surface 31 side of the chemical solution container installation section 7, which are located on the left side when viewed from the front of the endoscope washer-disinfector 1. (Tenth Modification)
[0091] 24 and 25 , each of the rails 33, 34 provided on the liquid chemical container setting section 7 of this modified example has a shape in which the height in the vertical direction of each of the engaging protrusions 35, 36 is small (thin) on the near side, which is the opening side of the liquid chemical container setting section 7, and the height increases (thick) toward the depth of the liquid chemical container setting section 7. Here, each of the engaging protrusions 35, 36 has a triangular surface shape, but is not limited to this, and the height on the near side may be reduced only within a predetermined range in the longitudinal direction.
[0092] With this configuration, the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 can be easily fitted into the rail grooves 21 and 22 with the engaging protrusions 35 and 36, and can be smoothly attached to the liquid medicine container installation portion 7.
[0093] 24 and 25 show only the first chemical solution bottle 11 and the inner wall surface 31 side of the chemical solution container installation section 7 located on the left side when viewed from the front of the endoscope washer-disinfector 1. (Eleventh Modification)
[0094] As shown in Figures 26 and 27, each rail 33, 34 provided on the drug solution container installation section 7 of this modified example has a shape in which the vertical height of the front side of each engaging protrusion 35, 36 is small and the height of the deeper side is large, similar to the ninth modified example.
[0095] The liquid medicine bottle unit 10 has a shape in which the vertical height of the bottom 13c, 14c side of each container body 13, 14 is small (thin) and the height of each cap 15, 16 side is large (thick) to match the shape of each engaging protrusion 35, 36.
[0096] With this configuration, the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 can be easily fitted with each rail groove 21, 22 into each engaging protrusion 35, 36, allowing it to be smoothly attached to the liquid medicine container mounting section 7, and a stable mounting position can be maintained without any rattling in the liquid medicine container mounting section 7.
[0097] 26 and 27 show only the first chemical solution bottle 11 and the inner wall surface 31 side of the chemical solution container installation section 7 located on the left side when viewed from the front of the endoscope washer-disinfector 1. (Twelfth Modification)
[0098] As shown in Figure 28, in this modified example, the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 has widening grooves 21a, 22a in which the rail grooves 21, 22 formed in the first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the second liquid medicine bottle 12 are widened within a predetermined range on the bottom 13c, 14c side of each container body 13, 14.
[0099] Similarly to the first modification, the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 has handle portions 23 on the bottom portions 13 c, 14 c. The rails 33, 34 provided on the liquid medicine container installation portion 7 have a predetermined length that fits into the widened grooves 21 a, 22 a.
[0100] As shown in Figure 29, when the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is attached to the liquid medicine container installation section 7, when the blade section 42 is inserted into each cap 15, 16 and abuts each closure section 17, 18, the handle section 23 is pushed downward (in the direction of arrow F).
[0101] As a result, the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 easily breaks in the opening direction of the closure portions 17, 18 of the caps 15, 16, with the handle portion 23 serving as the force point and the blade portion 42 acting as the point of contact. That is, the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 utilizes the principle of leverage to easily open the closure portions 17, 18 that come into contact with the blade portion 42.
[0102] With this configuration, the user can easily apply force to open the closure portions 17, 18 of the caps 15, 16 when attaching the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 to the liquid medicine container setting portion 7. Therefore, the user can open the closure portions 17, 18 more easily than by simply pushing the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 deeper into the liquid medicine container setting portion 7.
[0103] 28 and 29 show only the second chemical liquid bottle 12 side located on the right side when viewed from the front of the endoscope washer-disinfector 1. (Thirteenth Modification)
[0104] As shown in Figure 30, the medicinal liquid bottle unit 10 of this modified example is provided with a sloped portion 19 in each container body 13, 14 of the first medicinal liquid bottle 11 and the second medicinal liquid bottle 12, which makes it easier for the liquid of the drug and buffer to flow toward each cap 15, 16.
[0105] In order to facilitate the flow of the liquid medicine and buffer, liquid medicine bottle unit 10 may be formed with steps so that caps 15 and 16 are lowered downward when in the orientation in which it is attached to liquid medicine container installation part 7, as shown in Figure 31 (Fourteenth Modification).
[0106] As shown in Figure 32, the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 of this modified example has a closure lid body 61 inside each cap 15, 16 that is attached to the mouth portion 13a, 14a of each container body 13, 14 of the first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the second liquid medicine bottle 12.
[0107] Lid body 61 fits tightly against the inner peripheral wall of each cap 15, 16 to cap first liquid medicine bottle 11 and second liquid medicine bottle 12. Lid body 61 is a disk-shaped member made of an elastic material such as resin or rubber, with a recess formed on the opening side of each cap 15, 16. Lid body 61 has an inward flange 62 on the edge portion that forms the recess.
[0108] The drug solution container setting part 7 has a rod-shaped opening rod 63 as an opening member, rather than the blade parts 41 and 42 as the closure part breaking members described above. The opening rod 63 has an outward flange 64 on the outer periphery of the tip.
[0109] When the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is pushed deeper into the liquid medicine container installation portion 7, the opening rods 63 inserted into the caps 15, 16 engage with the lid bodies 61. The opening rods 63 fit into the recessed lid bodies 61. At this time, the outward flanges 64 of the opening rods 63 climb over the inward flanges 62 of the lid bodies 61 and engage with the lid bodies 61.
[0110] 33 , when the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is pushed further toward the depth of the liquid medicine container setting portion 7, the lid body 61 fitted onto the uncapping rod 63 is pushed into the inside of each container body 13, 14. This uncaps the first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the second liquid medicine bottle 12.
[0111] Furthermore, when the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is removed from the liquid medicine container installation section 7, as shown in Figure 34, each cap 15, 16 is pulled back, and the lid body 61 fitted to the opening rod 63 comes into contact with the opening of each cap 15, 16.
[0112] 35 , when the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is moved in the direction of removal from the liquid medicine container installation section 7, the lid body 61 tightly contacts and catches on the inner circumferential surfaces of the caps 15, 16, and is released from the uncapping rod 63. That is, the outward flange 64 of the uncapping rod 63 and the inward flange 62 of the lid body 61 are released from the engagement, and the lid body 61 is released from the uncapping rod 63.
[0113] As a result, the first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the second liquid medicine bottle 12 are sealed by the lid body 61 with the caps 15 and 16 .
[0114] With this configuration, when the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is removed from the liquid medicine container installation section 7, the remaining liquid of the agent and buffer in each container body 13, 14 is prevented from flowing out from each cap 15, 16 into the liquid medicine container installation section 7. Therefore, the endoscope washer-disinfector 1 can prevent adverse effects on internal equipment due to remaining liquid inside the apparatus from the liquid medicine container installation section 7. (Fifteenth Modification)
[0115] As shown in Figure 36, the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 of this modified example has liquid receiving portions 15a, 16a that are approximately inverted truncated cone shaped around each cap 15, 16 provided on each container body 13, 14 of the first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the second liquid medicine bottle 12.
[0116] With this configuration, after the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is removed from the liquid medicine container installation section 7, the remaining liquid of the agent and buffer that flows out from each cap 15, 16 can be received by the liquid receivers 15a, 16a, preventing it from flowing out to the outside. (Sixteenth Modification)
[0117] 37 and 38 , the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 of this modified example has closures 17a, 18a in which grooves radiating from the center are formed in the caps 15, 16 attached to the openings 13a, 14a of the container bodies 13, 14 of the first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the second liquid medicine bottle 12. The closures 17a, 18a are formed from an elastic body such as resin or rubber.
[0118] When the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is attached to the liquid medicine container setting portion 7, the blade portions 41, 42 of the cap placement portions 43, 44 break the closure portions 17a, 18a along the grooves to form radial slits.
[0119] After the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is removed from the liquid medicine container installation part 7, the closing parts 17a, 18a of the elastic body return to their original shapes and close the caps 15, 16, respectively.
[0120] With this configuration, after the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is removed from the liquid medicine container installation section 7, the remaining liquid of the agent and the buffer are prevented from leaking out from the caps 15, 16. (Seventeenth Modification)
[0121] As shown in Figures 39 and 40, the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 of this modified example is fixed together by film tape 65, which is a strip-shaped binding body wrapped around the outer periphery of each body portion 13e, 14e at approximately the center of the container body 13 of the first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the container body 14 of the second liquid medicine bottle 12.
[0122] The barrel portions 13e, 14e of the container bodies 13, 14 are recessed. The barrel portions 13e, 14e are recessed in the side walls 13b, 14b of the container bodies 13, 14 to a position deeper than the rail grooves 21, 22.
[0123] Therefore, the rail grooves 21, 22 are not formed in the trunk portions 13e, 14e of the side walls 13b, 14b of the container bodies 13, 14. That is, the rail grooves 21, 22 are separated at the center portions of the container bodies 13, 14 around which the film tape 65 is wound.
[0124] With this configuration, when the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 is attached to or detached from the liquid medicine container setting portion 7, the engaging protrusions 35, 36 of the rails 33, 34 that engage with the rail grooves 21, 22 are prevented from becoming entangled or caught on the film tape 65. Therefore, the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 can smoothly attach and detach the liquid medicine container setting portion 7. (Eighteenth Modification)
[0125] As shown in Figures 41 and 42, the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 of this modified example is fixed together by a film tape 65 wrapped around the outer periphery of the container body 13 of the first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the container body 14 of the second liquid medicine bottle 12 at approximately the center, as in the 17th modified example.
[0126] Here, each of the container bodies 13, 14 has an engaging protrusion 67, 68 that protrudes from the side surface that is the lower side when the container body is in the posture when attached to the drug solution container installation part 7. Each of the engaging protrusions 67, 68 is formed on the wall surface side where the container bodies 13, 14 fixed by the film tape 65 face each other and come into contact.
[0127] That is, the side surfaces of the engaging protrusions 67, 68 also come into contact when the container bodies 13, 14 are fixed by the film tape 65. In addition, the container bodies 13, 14 have recesses 13f, 14f on the side surfaces that are on the lower side when the container bodies 13, 14 are in the posture when the drug solution container setting part 7 is attached.
[0128] Therefore, the engaging protrusions 67, 68 of each container body 13, 14 do not protrude into the central portion around which the film tape 65 is wound. That is, the engaging protrusions 67, 68 are separated in the central portion of each container body 13, 14 around which the film tape 65 is wound.
[0129] Here, the chemical solution container setting portion 7 has a rail 71 provided on the bottom side thereof. The rail 71 has a concave rail groove 72 with which the engaging protrusions 67, 68 engage.
[0130] Even with this configuration, similar to the seventeenth modification, the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 prevents the film tape 65 from becoming entangled or caught in the rail grooves 72 of the rails 71 with which the engaging protrusions 67, 68 engage when the liquid medicine container setting portion 7 is attached or detached. Therefore, the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 allows the liquid medicine container setting portion 7 to be attached or detached smoothly. (Nineteenth Modification)
[0131] As shown in Figures 43 and 44, in this modified example, the container body 13 of the first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the container body 14 of the second liquid medicine bottle 12 have, on their opposing sides, convex mating portions 74, 76 that protrude, for example, with an L-shaped cross section, and concave mating portions 75, 77 that fit into each mating portion 74, 76.
[0132] In the liquid medicine bottle unit 10, the engaging portion 74 of the container body 13 of the first liquid medicine bottle 11 is fitted into the mating portion 77 of the container body 14 of the second liquid medicine bottle 12, and the mating portion 76 of the container body 14 is fitted into the mating portion 75 of the container body 13.
[0133] As a result, the first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the second liquid medicine bottle 12 are integrally connected to each other in the liquid medicine bottle unit 10. The first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the second liquid medicine bottle 12 are connected to each other by inserting the fitting portions 74, 76 into the fitted portions 75, 77, respectively, and sliding them along the opposing side surfaces. (Twentieth Modification)
[0134] 45 , in the liquid medicine bottle unit 10 of this modification, the cap 15 of the container body 13 of the first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the cap 16 of the container body 14 of the second liquid medicine bottle 12 are fastened with a band 78 made of an elastic material such as resin or rubber, or a strip-shaped tape, etc. In this way, the first liquid medicine bottle 11 and the second liquid medicine bottle 12 are integrally connected in the liquid medicine bottle unit 10.
