  Here, the chemical used for the chemical treatment has an expiration date. Therefore, the chemical solution whose expiration date has passed cannot be used for the chemical treatment because the medicinal effect is reduced. For this reason, when the chemical solution whose expiry date has passed is stored in the chemical solution storage part, the chemical solution recovery hose that is a relay line is connected to the discharge port of the chemical solution supply line, and then the pump is driven. Thus, the chemical solution whose expiration date has passed is collected in the collection tank or the like via the chemical solution recovery hose.

  However, in the configuration shown in Patent Document 1, since the lid is not provided at the chemical solution collection port, when the chemical solution collection step is performed, the chemical solution is ejected from the chemical solution collection port, and the user is exposed to the explosion. There was a possibility.

  Of course, a configuration in which the chemical solution collection port is closed with a lid is also conceivable, but if the user forgets to close the lid, similarly, during the chemical solution collection process, the chemical solution is ejected from the chemical solution collection port, There was a possibility that the user would be exposed.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and when collecting a chemical solution, when the relay line is connected to the discharge port of the chemical liquid supply line, the chemical liquid collection port of the chemical liquid supply line is surely blocked by the lid. An object of the present invention is to provide an endoscope cleaning / disinfecting apparatus having the above configuration.

  In order to achieve the above object, an endoscope cleaning / disinfecting apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes a chemical solution storage unit in which a chemical solution is stored, a chemical solution supply line having one end connected to the chemical solution storage unit, and the chemical solution supply.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing only a configuration for collecting a chemical solution in the endoscope cleaning / disinfecting apparatus of the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is surrounded by a line II in FIG. 1 in the disinfecting solution nozzle of FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the region, FIG. 3 is a view of the disinfecting liquid nozzle of FIG. 2 as seen from the direction III in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a view showing a state in which the lid of FIG. FIG. 5 is a view showing a state in which the lid of FIG. 4 is pressed by the base of the chemical solution recovery hose connected to the discharge port.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the endoscope cleaning / disinfecting apparatus 1 includes a chemical solution storage unit 5 in which a chemical solution M is stored. In addition, as the chemical | medical solution M, although disinfecting liquid is mentioned, for example, it is not limited to disinfecting liquid.

  One end portion 11 i of the chemical solution supply pipe 10 is connected to the chemical solution storage unit 5. The chemical solution supply line 10 supplies the chemical solution M in the chemical solution storage unit 5 to the cleaning / disinfecting tank 4 indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 1 provided at a position higher than the chemical solution storage unit 5.

  Specifically, the chemical liquid supply pipe 10 includes a first pipe 11 extending along the direction of gravity J from one end portion 11 i connected to the chemical liquid reservoir 5.

  Note that an inlet A which is a first opening for taking in the chemical M from the chemical reservoir 5 is formed at one end 11 i of the first pipeline 11.

  In the cleaning / disinfecting tank 4, the first pipe line 11 has one end in a direction opposite to the gravity direction J (hereinafter simply referred to as “upward”) than a terrace surface 51 t (both see FIG. 13) of the terrace portion 51 described later. The top part 11p side facing the part 11i protrudes and is located. Therefore, the first conduit 11 constitutes a part of the disinfecting liquid nozzle 23 provided in the cleaning / disinfecting tank 4.

  In addition, the site | part by the side of the top part 11p which protruded upwards rather than the terrace surface 51t in the 1st pipe line 11 is covered with the exterior member 23g except for the top part 11p.

  The exterior member 23g constitutes the exterior member of the disinfectant solution nozzle 23 provided in the cleaning / disinfecting tank 4. Hereinafter, a portion having the top portion 11p protruding upward from the exterior member 23g of the first duct 11 is referred to as a protruding portion 11c.

  Further, the chemical solution supply pipe 10 includes a second pipe 12 that branches from a portion of the first pipe 11 covered with the exterior member 23g. The second conduit 12 is inclined obliquely downward from the first conduit 11 toward the cleaning / disinfecting tank 4.

  At the other end portion 12t of the chemical liquid supply line 10 that opens toward the cleaning / disinfecting tank 4 of the second pipe line 12, the chemical liquid M taken from the chemical liquid storage part 5 through the inlet A is directed toward the cleaning / disinfecting tank 4. A discharge port C that is a second opening to be discharged is formed.

  In addition, the discharge port C is located lower than the top part 11p. Further, the second conduit 12 also constitutes a part of the disinfecting liquid nozzle 23 provided in the cleaning / disinfecting tank 4.

  Further, a chemical solution recovery hose 40 that is a relay pipe line can be freely connected to the discharge port C. The chemical recovery hose 40 is connected to the discharge port C in order to recover the chemical M that has expired in the chemical storage unit 5, and the discharge C is provided at one end of the chemical recovery hose 40. A base 41 is freely connectable. The other end of the chemical recovery hose 40 is connected to a chemical recovery tank 45 in which the recovered chemical M is stored or a chemical processing tank (not shown).

  Therefore, when the base 41 of the chemical solution recovery hose 40 is connected to the discharge port C and a chemical solution supply member 6 described later is driven, the chemical solution M in the chemical solution storage unit 5 is supplied to the chemical solution supply line 10 via the inlet A. It is taken into the inside, enters into the chemical solution recovery hose 40 through the discharge port C, and is then recovered in the chemical solution recovery tank 45.

  Further, the chemical liquid M taken in from the chemical liquid storage section 5 through the inlet A of the chemical liquid supply pipe 10 at a midway position between the one end portion 11i and the top portion 11p of the first pipe line 11 is supplied with the chemical liquid supply pipe line. A chemical supply member 6 that is driven to be discharged from the 10 discharge ports C is provided.

  The chemical solution supply member 6 may be a fluid supply pump or the like, but is not limited to a pump, and may be a device that contracts the chemical solution storage unit 5 to push out the chemical solution M or a device that pressurizes the inside of the chemical solution storage unit 5. It doesn't matter. In this case, the arrangement position of the chemical solution supply member 6 is adjacent to the chemical solution storage unit 5.

  Furthermore, the midway position between the one end portion 11i and the top portion 11p of the first pipeline 11, specifically, the chemical solution M moves from the top portion 11p side to the one end portion 11i side toward the top portion 11p side than the chemical solution supply member 6. A check valve 7 is provided to prevent backflow.

  The check valve 7 stores the chemical solution without being discharged from the discharge port C when the chemical solution supply member 6 is stopped, out of the chemical solution M discharged from the discharge port C when the chemical solution supply member 6 is driven. It functions to receive the chemical solution M that has fallen by gravity on the side of the portion 5 and store a predetermined amount of the chemical solution M in the top portion 11p side of the check valve 7 of the first conduit 11.

  Here, the chemical | medical solution collection port B which is the 3rd opening part for extract | collecting the chemical | medical solution M from the inside of the 1st pipe line 11 on the top part 11p of the 1st pipe line 11, specifically the top surface 11t in the protrusion part 11c. Is formed.

  In addition, the formation position of the chemical | medical solution collection port B will not be limited to the top surface 11t, if it is the top part 11p in the protrusion part 11c, For example, you may form anywhere, such as a diagonally upper surface.

  The chemical liquid collection port B introduces test paper such as a test strip into the first pipe line 11, and places the leading end side of the test paper on the chemical liquid M stored in the first pipe line 11 by the check valve 7. This is the opening through which the test paper passes when immersed. In addition, the chemical | medical solution collection port B is not limited to a test paper, The opening through which the pipette etc. for extract | collecting the chemical | medical solution M directly from the inside of the 1st pipe line 11 may pass may be sufficient.

  In addition, since the chemical | medical solution collection port B is formed in the top part 11p of the 1st pipe line 11, when an operator checks the density | concentration of the chemical | medical solution M, it remains standing from the upper part of the endoscope washing / disinfecting apparatus 1 It only has to do the work, so there is no need to squat down.

  Moreover, the seal member 8 is provided in the top part 11p in the protrusion part 11c so that the chemical | medical solution collection port B may be surrounded by the top surface 11t and an outer peripheral side surface.

  Furthermore, the chemical solution collection port B can be covered with a cap-like lid 15 that prevents the chemical solution M in the chemical solution supply line 10 or the odor of the chemical solution M from leaking out of the endoscope cleaning / disinfecting apparatus 1.

  The cover 15 covers the protrusion 11c so that the seal surface 15am (see FIG. 3) of the cap portion 15a having a bottomed hole inside is in close contact with the seal member 8 in a watertight and airtight manner and closes the chemical liquid sampling port B. 2, when the base 41 of the chemical solution recovery hose 40 is connected to the discharge port C, and the base 41 hits a part of the lid 15, when the first position shown in FIG. Is held movably by the holding portion 20.

  In the first position, the cap portion 15a of the lid 15 may cover the protruding portion 11c in the loosely fitted state as long as the seal surface 15am is in close contact with the seal member 8 and closes the chemical liquid sampling port B. I do not care. That is, a gap may be formed between the bottomed hole of the cap portion 15a and the outer peripheral side surface of the protruding portion 11c in the state where the chemical liquid sampling port B is closed by the lid 15.

  Next, the configuration of the lid 15 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the lid body 15 is connected to the top surface 23 t of the exterior member 23 g by the holding portion 20.

  Specifically, the holding unit 20 includes a first fixing member 18 connected to the lid body 15, a second fixing member 19 connected to the top surface 23t of the exterior member 23g, and a rotation shaft 16r. In addition, there is a hinge 16 which is a connecting portion having one end 16 a connected to the first fixing member 18 and the other end 16 b connected to the second fixing member 19, and a leaf spring 17 fixed to the hinge 16. The main part is composed.

  Therefore, the lid 15 is rotatable with the first fixing member 18 between the first position and the second position described above with the rotation shaft 16r of the hinge 16 as a fulcrum. In addition, the chemical solution collection port B is connected to the top of the first pipe 11 at the top portion 11p of the lid 15 so that the seal position 15am of the cap portion 15a of the cover body 15 covers the chemical solution collection port B. Must be located within the range of motion.

  The rotation of the lid 15 from the first position to the second position or the rotation from the second position to the first position is usually performed by an operator. That is, when closing the chemical solution collection port B, the operator rotates the lid 15 counterclockwise from the second position shown in FIG. 4 to the first position shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 to collect the chemical solution. When collecting the chemical M through the mouth B, the operator rotates the lid 15 clockwise from the first position shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 to the second position shown in FIG. .

  Here, in the endoscope cleaning / disinfecting apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the rotation of the lid body 15 from the second position shown in FIG. 4 to the first position shown in FIGS. When the cap 41 of the chemical solution recovery hose 40 is connected to the lid 15 and the cap 41 is pressed by the cap 41, the leaf spring 17 is deformed to automatically perform the configuration.

  Hereinafter, a configuration in which the lid 15 automatically moves from the second position to the first position by connecting the chemical solution recovery hose 40 to the discharge port C will be described.

  First, as shown in FIG. 4, when the lid 15 is located at the second position, the leaf spring 17 applies a force in the direction of arrow α to the one end 16 a and the other end 16 b of the hinge 16. Therefore, the lid 15 is fixed so as not to rotate counterclockwise from the second position unexpectedly, and as described above, the chemical sampling port B is exposed and the discharge port C is exposed. When the base 41 of the chemical liquid recovery hose 40 is connected, the lid 15 is positioned so that the base 41 contacts a part of the lid 15, for example, the bottom 15 b.

  The lid body 15 may be fixed by being pressed against the outer peripheral side surface of the second duct 12 by the leaf spring 17. In addition, since the open state of the lid 15 can be fixed, there is an advantage that the concentration check operation of the chemical solution M from the chemical solution collection port B can be easily performed.

  Next, when the base 41 of the chemical solution recovery hose 40 is connected to the discharge port C, the base 41 contacts the bottom portion 15b of the lid body 15 as shown in FIG. The lid 15 is pressed until it is completely connected.

  As a result, the lid 15 pressed by the base 41 starts to rotate counterclockwise around the rotational shaft 16r of the hinge 16 until the base 41 is completely connected to the discharge port C. At this time, it is preferable that the bottom portion 15b with which the cap 41 of the lid 15 contacts is formed in a shape that easily rotates counterclockwise by pressing the cap 41 in the connection direction V, for example, an arc shape.

  Thereafter, when the lid body 15 is rotated by a predetermined angle, the leaf spring 17 is generated by being deformed as the lid body 15 rotates counterclockwise due to the pressing in the connection direction V of the base 41 to the lid body 15. 2 and 3, due to the reaction force, when the lid 15 is held by the holding portion 20, the seal surface 15am of the cap portion 15a is centered on the rotation shaft 16r and the chemical liquid collection port is formed. It automatically rotates to the first position that closes B. Note that the predetermined angle described above may be an angle at which the lid body 15 is rotated even a little from the second position.

  Moreover, in this 1st position, as shown in FIG. 3, since the force of the arrow (beta) direction is respectively given to the one end 16a and the other end 16b of the hinge 16, the cover body 15 is 1st position. It is fixed so that it does not rotate clockwise.

  In addition, since the structure of the other endoscope washing | cleaning disinfection apparatus 1 is the same as the past, the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the base 41 of the chemical liquid recovery hose 40 is connected to the discharge port C, the lid 15 is pressed against the base 41, and the lid 15 is further pressed by the reaction force of the leaf spring 17. It has been shown that it automatically rotates while being held by the holding unit 20 from the second position where the chemical liquid sampling port B is exposed to the first position where the chemical liquid sampling port B is closed.

  According to this, even when the operator forgets to close the lid 15 at the chemical solution collection port B when collecting the chemical solution M whose expiration date has passed in the chemical solution storage unit 5, the chemical solution recovery hose 40 is provided at the discharge port C. Since the chemical solution collection port B can be reliably closed only by connecting the chemical solution, the chemical solution supply member 6 is driven, and the chemical solution collection tank 5 is connected to the chemical solution collection tank 5 via the chemical solution supply line 10 and the chemical solution collection hose 40. When recovering the chemical solution M whose expiration date has passed in 45 or in a chemical solution treatment tank (not shown), the chemical solution M is ejected from the chemical solution collection port B, and the user is not exposed to explosion.

  In addition, when the chemical | medical solution M is collect | recovered, the ejection of the chemical | medical solution M from the chemical | medical solution collection port B is provided in the top part 11p side rather than the check valve 7 by the check valve 7 being provided in the 1st pipe line 11. Since a predetermined amount of the chemical solution M is stored, it becomes more prominent if the chemical solution collection port B is forgotten to be closed by the lid 15. However, in the configuration of the present embodiment, the chemical solution M is always collected. Since the sampling port B is blocked by the lid body 15, even if the check valve 7 is provided in the first conduit 11, it is possible to more reliably prevent the user from being exposed during the recovery of the chemical solution. it can.

  From the above, it is possible to provide the endoscope cleaning / disinfecting apparatus 1 having a configuration in which the chemical liquid collection port B is reliably closed by the lid 15 when the chemical liquid recovery hose 40 is connected to the discharge port C when collecting the chemical liquid. it can.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a state in which the chemical liquid collection port in the endoscope cleaning / disinfecting apparatus according to the present embodiment is closed by the lid, and FIG. 7 is a diagram in which the lid of FIG. 6 is opened from the chemical liquid collection port. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a state, and FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a state in which the lid of FIG. 7 is pressed by the base of the chemical solution recovery hose connected to the discharge port.

  The configuration of the endoscope cleaning / disinfecting apparatus according to the second embodiment has a chemical recovery hose at the discharge port as compared with the endoscope cleaning / disinfecting apparatus according to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. The structure of the holding part for automatically moving the lid body from the second position to the first position when the is connected is different. Therefore, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the lid 115 is closed at the first position where the chemical collecting port B is closed, and the chemical collecting port B is exposed and the chemical collecting hose is at the discharge port C. When the 40 bases 41 are connected, the holding unit 20 that holds the base 41 so as to be movable to the second position where the base 41 hits a part of the lid 115 is a direction Q perpendicular to the gravity direction J with respect to the exterior member 23g. A guide hole 23h formed along the guide hole 23h and a guide member 116 fitted in the guide hole 23h and connected to the lid 115 constitute a main part.

  6 to 8, since the guide member 116 is movable in the direction Q within the guide hole 23h, the lid 115 to which the guide member 116 is connected is also movable in the direction Q. It has become.

  Specifically, the lid body 115 includes a first position where the seal portion 115a along the direction Q of the lid body 115 shown in FIG. 6 closes the chemical liquid sampling port B, and a seal portion 115a of the lid body 115 shown in FIG. Is slidable in the direction Q between the second position separated from the chemical solution collection port B in the direction Q.

  In the present embodiment, the top surface of the chemical liquid sampling port B is formed on a surface parallel to the direction Q so as to be closed by the seal portion 115a of the lid 115 at the first position, and the seal It is located on the extended line in the direction Q of the seal surface 115am that closes the chemical solution collection port B of the portion 115a.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, in the first position, the lid 115 may unexpectedly move from the first position by the lock member 60 provided on the top surface 23t of the exterior member 23g. There is no fixed.

  Specifically, the lock member 60 has a lock hole 60r formed along the gravity direction J so as to have a side surface 60g with which the front end 115at of the seal portion 115a is fitted, and a top surface of the lock member 60a. The locking portion 60k formed at substantially the same height as the top surface of the mouth B, and the tip 115at of the seal portion 115a extending from the top surface of the lock member 60 along the gravity direction J and fitted in the lock hole 60r. The main part is comprised including the elastic member 61 which presses the side to the latching | locking part 60k in the gravitational direction J.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the seal portion 115a is moved to the first position, when the tip 115at side is fitted into the lock hole 60r, the tip 115at side pushes up the elastic member 61 upward, After the movement to the position, when the tip 115at comes into contact with the side surface 60g, the tip 115at side is pressed toward the locking portion 60k by the pushed-up elastic member 61, whereby the lid 115 is moved to the first position. Fixed in

  Here, also in the endoscope cleaning / disinfecting apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the sliding movement of the lid 115 from the second position shown in FIG. 7 to the first position shown in FIG. When the base 41 of the recovery hose 40 is connected, the lid 115 is automatically pressed by being pressed by the base 41.

  Hereinafter, a configuration in which the lid 115 is automatically moved from the second position to the first position by the connection of the chemical solution recovery hose 40 to the discharge port C will be described.

  First, as shown in FIG. 7, when the lid 115 is located at the second position, the chemical liquid collection port B is exposed and the base 41 of the chemical liquid recovery hose 40 is connected to the discharge port C as described above. When the is connected, the lid body 115 is positioned so that the base 41 hits the pressed part 115b located on the discharge port C side of the lid body 115.

  Next, when the base 41 of the chemical solution recovery hose 40 is connected to the discharge port C, the base 41 contacts the pressed portion 115b of the lid 15 and is completely connected to the discharge port C as shown in FIG. The pressed portion 115b is pressed in the connection direction V until it is done.

  As a result, the seal portion 115a of the lid body 115 pressed by the base 41 is such that the guide member 116 extends along the direction Q in the guide hole 23h, and the protruding end 116p of the guide member 116 is the guide hole as shown in FIG. By sliding to the lock member 60 side until it abuts against the bottom 23he of 23h, in the state held by the holding part 20, it automatically goes to the direction Q to the first position that covers the chemical sampling port B shown in FIG. Move the slide.

  Note that the amount of sliding movement of the lid 115 from the second position to the first position is substantially equal to the amount of connection in the connection direction V of the base 41 to the discharge port C, that is, the amount of pushing of the lid 115. .

  Thereafter, when the lid 115 is moved to the first position, as described above, the tip 115at side of the seal portion 115a pushes the elastic member 61 upward and is moved to the first position so that the tip 115at is moved. When fitted into the lock hole 60r and brought into contact with the side surface 60g, the lid 115 is fixed at the first position by being pushed toward the locking portion 60k by the pushed-up elastic member 61.

  In the first position, the sealing surface 115am of the sealing portion 115a is in close contact with the top surface of the sealing member 8, so that the liquid collection port B is watertight and airtight by the lid 115.

  In addition, since the structure of the other endoscope washing | cleaning disinfection apparatus 1 is the same as 1st Embodiment mentioned above, the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  Even with such a configuration, the same effects as those of the first embodiment described above can be obtained.
