Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cart for an endoscope system for mounting various electric devices used in combination with the endoscope.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When an electronic endoscope is used, a light source device and a video processor are indispensable, and they are usually integrated. Camera, color video recorder (VC
R) and other electric devices are used in combination.

Therefore, in general, these devices are placed on each shelf of a cart in which the shelves are arranged in multiple stages to improve the efficiency of the arrangement space and ensure the transportability.

[0004]

The electric equipment as described above has connection terminals such as a control signal connection terminal and a video signal connection terminal, and is used for use as a system of an electronic endoscope. It is necessary to wire them properly.

However, since the number of such connection terminals is very large, it is not only complicated and time-consuming to connect each connection terminal with a signal cable, but also a person who is familiar with the connection method. Otherwise, it is extremely difficult to wire everything correctly.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an endoscope system cart in which wiring connection between electric devices used in combination with an electronic endoscope is easy.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the endoscope system cart of the present invention is configured such that a shelf board on which an electric device used in combination with an endoscope is placed can be slid forward. In addition to being provided, a wiring connection terminal is provided, which is connected to an electric device placed on the shelf board by pushing the shelf board into a predetermined position.

[0008] It is preferable that a plurality of the shelves are provided so that the electric devices mounted on different shelves are connected to each other via the wiring connection terminals. Further, the electric device placed on the shelf board may be connected to the wiring connection terminal via an adapter-shaped connector.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 2 and 3 are a perspective view seen from the front and a perspective view seen from the rear of the cart 10 in a state where various electric devices used in combination with the electronic endoscope are mounted.

The cart 10 is formed in a cubic shape with only the front face open, and is divided into four stages between the side panels 11 and 12 fixedly provided on the left and right sides and the top plate 13 and the floor plate 14. Shelf boards 15-18 are arranged. The rear surface is closed by a rear panel 19, and wheels 20 are provided at the four corners of the lower end.
Is attached and is movable.

A television monitor 51 for displaying an endoscope observation image is mounted on the top plate 13, and a light source device to which an electronic endoscope is directly connected to the uppermost shelf plate 15 is mounted. A dual-purpose video processor 52 is mounted.

An electric device for recording an endoscopic observation image is placed on the lower stage, and the second still shelf 16 from the top is an electronic still video device 53 and a third shelf. A photographing device 54 is mounted on the floor 17, and the lowermost shelf 18 on the floor board 14 is mounted on the color video tape recorder 5.
5 is placed.

Each of the shelves 15 to 18 can be independently pulled out forward, and in FIG.
Only 5 is shown pulled out. Each shelf 15
Handles 21 ... Are attached to the front surfaces of 18 to 18.

FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the cart 10,
Shelf boards 15 are provided on the inner surfaces of the left and right side panels 11 and 12.
An inverted trapezoidal rail 23, the cross section of which is shown in FIG.

On the other hand, as shown in an enlarged cross section in FIG. 6, rail receiving grooves 24 are formed on the left and right side surfaces of each of the shelves 15 to 18 so as to engage with the rail 23 in a tight manner. . Therefore, the rail 2 is inserted into the rail receiving groove 24.
By engaging 3 with each shelf plate 15-18, it is possible to pull out freely.

On the top surface of the top plate 13, as shown in FIG. 3, the connection terminals 3 provided on the back surface of the television monitor 51 are connected.
6 and power plug 37 for connection cord (not shown)
A wiring connection terminal 38 and a power outlet 39 are provided for connection via the.

As shown in FIG. 4, an elastic rubber cushion 25 is attached to the inner portion of the rail 23, and when the shelves 15 to 18 are pushed in,
The back ends of the shelves 15 to 18 come into contact with the cushion 25 so that the shock is relieved. Also,
A click is provided to lightly fix the shelves 15 to 18 at a position (predetermined position) where they hit the cushion 25, but the illustration is omitted.

Shelf boards 15 to 1 are provided on the inner surface of the rear panel 19.
A large number of wiring connection terminals 31 to 34 are arranged in alignment with a large number of connection terminals provided on the back surface of each of the electric devices 52 to 55 placed on the No. 8. Reference numerals 27 to 30 denote substrates to which the wiring connection terminals 31 to 34 are attached. As shown in FIG. 1, the respective wiring connection terminals 31 to 34 are connected by the connection wiring 35.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the uppermost shelf plate 15 is pulled out to the front, and the shelf plate 15 is pulled out.
If the light source device / video processor 52 is placed at a predetermined position above and the shelf board 15 is pushed into a predetermined position (a position fixed by clicking) in the back, all the connection terminals 62 provided on the back surface of the light source device / video processor 52. But the back panel 1
9 is properly connected to the wiring connection terminal 31 on the inner surface.

Further, the electronic still video device 5 is placed at a predetermined position in a state where the second shelf 16 from the top is pulled out to the front.
3 is mounted and the shelf board 16 is pushed into a predetermined position, the connection terminal 63 provided on the back surface of the electronic still video device 53.
Are correctly connected to the wiring connection terminals 32 on the inner surface of the rear panel 19. Third shelf board 17 and fourth shelf board 1 from the top
8 is the same.

It should be noted that the recesses 40 into which the legs of the electric devices 52 to 55 are just fitted so that the electric devices 52 to 55 placed on the shelf plates 15 to 18 are correctly set at predetermined positions. Are formed.

Thus, according to the present invention, the shelf board 1
By simply pushing 5 to 18 inward, wiring connection is made to the electric devices 52 to 55 placed thereon, and the wiring connection between the electric devices 52 to 55 is completed without error.

In FIG. 7, connectors 72, 41 and 73, 42 each having a large number of connecting terminals are formed at a connecting portion between the electric devices 52 to 55 and an inner surface portion of the rear panel 19. The other configurations are the same as those in the above-described embodiment.

In this case, like the light source device / video processor 52 shown in FIG. 7, a connector 72 may be provided separately from the individual connection terminals (BNC terminals) 62, or like the electronic still video device 53. The connector 73 may be attached to the connection terminal (BNC terminal) 63 in an adapter shape.

[0025]

According to the present invention, by pushing a shelf plate on which various electric devices used in combination with an endoscope are placed into a predetermined position, wiring connection to the electric devices placed on the shelf plate is performed. Therefore, even a person who is completely unaware of complicated wiring can definitely and easily perform wiring connection and easily set the electronic endoscope system to a usable state.
