  The data control circuit 70 writes and reads the demodulated history information to and from the memory circuit 71. Note that the flash memory mounted in the memory circuit 71 holds the written information even if the power supply from the second power receiving unit 34 is cut off. As a result, the memory circuit 71 serves as a storage unit that stores history information related to medical instruments.

  The display unit 33 displays history information based on the control of the data control circuit 70. Thus, the display unit 33 serves as a display unit that displays information (history information) stored in the memory circuit 71 (storage unit). The history information that can be displayed by the display unit 33 includes, for example, processing result information indicating whether processing has been normally performed, processing date and time, and ID information of a medical device that is a processing target.

  As described above, the tray 2 can acquire history information such as a cleaning / disinfecting result by performing wireless data communication with the cleaning / disinfecting apparatus 80, and can display the history information using the display unit 33. It has become.

  The display unit 33 is disposed, for example, on the front wall portion of the tray 2 so that the display surface faces the front side. And in the state which mounted | worn the storage case 16 of the trolley apparatus 3, the display part 33 will be in the state exposed so that the display surface of the display part 33 can be confirmed.

  Here, an inclined portion 2 a is formed on the front wall of the tray 2 from the upper part toward the front side. The display surface of the display unit 33 is disposed along the inclined surface of the inclined portion 2a. Thereby, in a state where the tray 2 is mounted on the storage case 16 of the trolley device 3, the display surface of the display unit 33 can be confirmed from the front side.

  In the trolley system 1 of the present embodiment configured as described above, the operation when the endoscope 8 is used as a medical instrument will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  First, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, it is assumed that the first power feeding unit 4 and the trolley device 3 are separated from each other by a predetermined distance or more. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed that the tray 2 containing the endoscope 8 is attached to the storage case 16 inside the trolley device 3. At the same time, the tray 2 is not attached to at least one storage case 16. In FIG. 3, only two storage cases 16 of the trolley device 3 are shown, and the others are not shown.

  The first power supply unit 4 is always connected to a commercial power supply via a wall socket 25. And the 1st connection detection circuit 45 of the 1st electric power feeding part 4 is separated from the 1st magnet 51 of the 1st power receiving part 14 more than predetermined distance, and does not detect magnetic force. Therefore, the first control circuit 46 receives the detection signal from the first connection detection circuit 45 and stops the output of the first high-frequency inverter 44. Therefore, the direct current output obtained by rectifying and smoothing the commercial power supply by the rectifying and smoothing circuit 43 is not output from the first high-frequency inverter 44. That is, other than the first high frequency inverter 44 operates and is automatically in a standby state. For this reason, there is no output from the first primary coil 42.

  In the first power receiving unit 14 of the trolley device 3, the first secondary coil 50 is cut off from electromagnetic coupling with the first primary coil 42 of the first power receiving unit 14. Therefore, power is not supplied to the first power receiving unit 14 of the trolley device 3 and the second power receiving unit 34 of the tray 2, the dryer 13 is stopped, and the germicidal lamp 35 is also turned off. Further, since the operation check LED 17 is also turned off, the user can know that no power is supplied to the trolley device 3 by opening the door 11 of the trolley device 3.

  The trolley device 3 serving as a storage box protects the endoscope 8 stored in the storage space 10b and the tray 2 from dust and the like in a hygienic manner when the door 11 is closed.

  Next, the trolley device 3 is moved by the caster 12, and the back surface of the trolley device 3 is brought close to the first power feeding unit 4 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. Then, the first power receiving unit 14 of the trolley device 3 approaches the first power feeding unit 4 to a predetermined distance, and the first connection detection circuit 45 receives the action of the magnetic force of the first magnet 51. Thereby, the first connection detection circuit 45 detects that the first power receiving unit 14 and the first power supply unit 4 are in a state in which electromagnetic coupling is possible.

  The first control circuit 46 receives the detection signal from the first connection detection circuit 45 and permits the output of the first high-frequency inverter 44. The first high-frequency inverter 44 converts the DC output from the rectifying and smoothing circuit 43 into a high-frequency signal and supplies it to the first primary coil 42. Note that the first control circuit 46 constantly monitors the state of electromagnetic coupling and permits the output of the first high-frequency inverter 44 as long as it is in an appropriate connection state.

  A high-frequency signal is transmitted from the first primary coil 42 to the first secondary coil 50 of the first power receiving unit 14 to supply power by a non-contact method. Receiving the electric power, each circuit in the first power receiving unit 14 operates.

  Further, in the first power receiving unit 14, the high-frequency signal from the first secondary coil 50 is supplied to the first constant voltage circuit 52. The first constant voltage circuit 52 smoothes and stabilizes the high frequency signal. The inverter circuit 53 converts the constant voltage output from the first constant voltage circuit 52 into a specified voltage. The output control circuit 55 outputs the output from the inverter circuit 53 to the dryer 13 on the load side and the plurality of second power feeding units 15.

  Accordingly, when the dryer 13 is operated, the inside of the storage space 10b of the trolley device 3 is dehumidified, and propagation of germs and the like is suppressed. Then, the sanitary state of the endoscope 8 and the like stored in the tray 2 is maintained.

  The first operation determination circuit 56 connected to the inverter circuit 53 also operates. By this operation, the operation confirmation LED 17 provided on the storage case 16 side is turned on. The user can identify that appropriate power is being supplied to the trolley device 3 by visually confirming that the operation check LED 17 is turned on.

  On the other hand, the trolley device 3 is moved and separated from the first power feeding unit 4 on the wall surface 25 by a predetermined distance or more. Then, at this time, the magnetic force of the first magnet 51 is lost, and the first connection detection circuit 45 of the first power feeding unit 4 detects the state where the electromagnetic coupling is cut off. Then, the first control circuit 46 receives the detection signal from the first connection detection circuit 45 and stops the output of the first high-frequency inverter 44. That is, when the trolley device 3 is disconnected, the first power feeding unit 4 on the wall surface 25 stops the power supply. As described above, the trolley system 1 can always be used safely because the first power feeding unit 4 automatically enters the standby state.

  Next, in the operating state of the first power receiving unit 14, if an overcurrent flows to the load side due to, for example, damage to the dryer 13 or the like, the first protection circuit 54 operates to output the output control circuit 55. To control. For this reason, the output control circuit 55 cuts off the output, and the dryer 13, the germicidal lamp 35, and the display unit 33 are stopped. Then, the interruption of the output prevents the overcurrent from flowing in the first power receiving unit 14, thereby preventing the circuit from being damaged.

  Subsequently, in the trolley system 1 according to the present embodiment, operations relating to the cleaning and disinfection of the endoscope 8 and the endoscopy will be described below.

  It is assumed that the place where the first power supply unit 4 is provided on the wall surface 25, that is, the storage place of the trolley device 3 and the installation place of the cleaning / disinfecting device 80 are different. Also, the examination room for endoscopic examination is different from the storage place and the installation place.

  First, when the cleaning / disinfecting of the endoscope 8 is completed at the place where the cleaning / disinfecting apparatus 80 is installed, data communication is performed between the cleaning / disinfecting apparatus 80 and the tray 2 attached thereto. At that time, the second power receiving unit 34 of the tray 2 is supplied with non-contact power supply by electromagnetic coupling from the power supply unit of the cleaning / disinfecting apparatus 80.

  The data transmission circuit of the cleaning / disinfecting apparatus 80 transmits history information to the data reception circuit 68 of the tray 2 via the transmission coil and the reception coil 67. The data demodulating circuit 69 of the tray 2 demodulates the history information from the data receiving circuit 68 based on the control of the data control circuit 70. Then, the data control circuit 70 writes the demodulated history information into the memory circuit 71.

  Next, at the symbol A shown in FIG. 3, the tray 2 storing the endoscope 8 is taken out from the cleaning / disinfecting device 80. The removed tray 2 is transported to the storage location of the trolley device 3 in a state where the clean endoscope 8 is stored.

  Subsequently, the tray 2 is set on the tray mounting portion 18 of the trolley device 3. At this time, the movement of the tray 2 is restricted by the wrapping storage member 20 and the restricting member 21, so that the tray 2 is prevented from falling off due to lateral displacement.

  Then, the roll-shaped wrapping paper 22 is pulled out from the wrapping opening 20 a of the wrapping storage member 20 and packaged so as to cover the opening 32 a of the tray 2. Thereby, the inside of the storage part 32 of the tray 2 is protected so that dust or the like does not enter.

  Note that these operations may be performed on the spot by moving the trolley device 3 and arranging it on the cleaning / disinfecting device 80 side as necessary.

  Next, at the storage location of the trolley device 3, the first power receiving unit 14 of the trolley device 3 and the first power feeding unit 4 of the wall surface 25 are connected. As a result, power is supplied to the first power receiving unit 14. Upon receipt of this power, the operation confirmation LED 17 is turned on. Therefore, at this time, the user can confirm that the power is properly supplied by opening the door 11 of the trolley device 3 and confirming the lighting state of the operation confirmation LED 17.

  In addition, since the dryer 13 is operating at this time, the inside of the storage space 10b of the trolley device 3 is dehumidified, and an environment in which propagation of germs and the like is suppressed is established.

  Then, the user attaches the lapped tray 2 to a vacant part of the storage case 16. Next, by closing the door 11, the storage space 10b of the trolley device 3 is in a sealed state. Therefore, the endoscope 8 that has been cleaned and disinfected, stored in the tray 2 covered with the wrap, is in a state of being sanitarily stored.

  When the tray 2 is attached to the storage case 16, the second power receiving unit 34 of the trolley device 3 faces the second power feeding unit 15 of the trolley device 3 with a predetermined distance. At this time, the magnetic force of the second magnet 62 works, the second connection detection circuit 59 detects a state where power can be supplied by electromagnetic coupling, and outputs a predetermined detection signal. In response to this detection signal, the second control circuit 60 permits the output of the second high-frequency inverter 57. The second high frequency inverter 57 converts the output of the output control circuit 55 into a high frequency signal. The second control circuit 60 constantly monitors the state of electromagnetic coupling, and permits the output of the second high-frequency inverter 57 as long as it is in an appropriate connection state.

  Then, non-contact power is supplied from the second power supply unit 15 to the second power reception unit 34 by electromagnetic coupling between the second primary coil 58 and the second secondary coil 61 that have received the high-frequency signal. Is done. The electric power generated in the second secondary coil 61 is supplied to the LED drive circuit 65 and the display unit 33 on the load side through the smoothing circuit 63 and the second constant voltage circuit 64. At this time, power is supplied to the secondary battery 101 through a charging circuit (not shown) of the second power receiving unit 34. Thereby, the secondary battery 101 is charged.

  The LED drive circuit 65 turns on the plurality of germicidal lamps 35 installed on the tray 2 by receiving power supply. Then, the photocatalyst and sterilizing ultraviolet light is irradiated to the photocatalyst portion 37 of the tray 2, and antibacterial and antifouling actions by the photocatalyst material act on the photocatalyst portion 37. Due to this function, the outside of the tray 2 on which the photocatalyst portion 37 is formed and the inner surface of the storage portion 32 are not easily contaminated and are kept hygienic. Furthermore, the growth and proliferation of bacteria are prevented by the ultraviolet rays of the germicidal lamp 35. For this reason, the tray 2 and the endoscope 8 are stored in a state where the sanitary state is maintained.

  In the second power supply unit 15, the power supplied via the second secondary coil 61 is supplied to the display unit 33, the data control circuit 70, and the like. The data control circuit 70 activated by receiving power supply reads history information such as the previous cleaning / disinfecting result stored in the memory circuit 71. The display unit 33 displays history information read from the memory circuit 71 by the data control circuit 70. The user visually confirms the history information displayed on the display unit 33, thereby confirming the history information of the endoscope 8 stored in the tray 2, that is, the processing result, the date and time of the processing, and the type of the endoscope. can do. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the end date of the cleaning / disinfecting process and the end time of the process are displayed.

  Here, in the operating state of the second power receiving unit 34, if the germicidal lamp 35 is damaged, for example, or an overcurrent flows to the load side, the second protection circuit 66 detects this and detects the second constant. The output of the voltage circuit 64 is cut off. Then, by shutting off the output, an overcurrent is prevented from flowing in the second power receiving unit 34. This can prevent damage to the circuit. Further, the germicidal lamp 35 is turned off, and the display unit 33 also stops displaying.

  Next, when performing an endoscopic examination or an operation with reference B shown in FIG. 3, the user can obtain the ID information of the endoscope 8 displayed on the display unit 33 of the tray 2, the cleaning / disinfecting result, Check the date and time of cleaning and disinfection. A desired endoscope or medical instrument can be selected from among a plurality of medical instruments such as endoscopes stored in the trolley device 3.

  The user takes out the tray 2 in which the endoscope 8 that has been cleaned and disinfected is stored from the trolley device 3 in accordance with the inspection to be performed. When the tray 2 is removed, the connection between the second power feeding unit 15 and the second power receiving unit 34 is separated by a predetermined distance or more, and both are cut off. Then, the magnetic force of the second magnet 62 does not act, and the second connection detection circuit 59 detects that fact. The second control circuit 60 receives the detection signal from the second connection detection circuit 59 and stops the output from the second high-frequency inverter 57.

  Then, the second operation determination circuit 103 detects the stop of the output from the second high-frequency inverter 57 and performs control to switch the output of the smoothing circuit 63 to the secondary battery 101.

  As a result, the power from the secondary battery 101 is supplied to the LED drive circuit 65 via the smoothing circuit 63 and the second constant voltage circuit 64. And the LED drive circuit 65 lights the germicidal lamp 35 continuously. At the same time, the electric power from the secondary battery 101 is also supplied to the operation check LED 17 via the second operation determination circuit 103 to light it. Furthermore, the power from the second secondary battery 101 is also supplied to the display unit 33, the data control circuit 70, and the like. The display unit 33 continues to display the history information of the medical device.

  Then, the tray 2 in which the endoscope 8 is accommodated is transported to an examination room or the like while being wrapped. Even at this time, the power from the secondary battery 101 is continuously supplied to each part of the tray 2.

  3, after a predetermined inspection or the like is completed, the used endoscope 8 is stored in the tray 2 and transported to the place where the cleaning / disinfecting apparatus 80 is installed together with the tray 2 as it is. Is done.

  The user mounts the tray 2 containing the used endoscope 8 in the cleaning tank of the cleaning / disinfecting apparatus 80. Then, a series of cleaning and disinfecting steps are performed by the cleaning and disinfecting apparatus 80. In this washing and disinfecting process, due to the high hydrophilicity of the photocatalyst portion 37 formed on the outer surface of the tray 2, dirt on the outer surface of the tray 2 is well removed by the water used. Therefore, the tray 2 in the present embodiment achieves improved cleaning properties than the tray in which the photocatalyst portion 37 is not provided.

  When the cleaning / disinfecting process is completed, the tray 2 is taken out from the cleaning / disinfecting apparatus 80 and the lapping process is performed in the same manner as described above, at the symbol A shown in FIG. Also at this time, the secondary battery 101 of the tray 2 continues to supply power. Therefore, the clean state in the tray 2 containing the endoscope 8 cleaned by the cleaning and disinfecting process is maintained.

  Thereafter, the user attaches the tray 2 to the storage case 16 of the trolley device 3. Thereby, the endoscope 8 that has been subjected to the cleaning and disinfection treatment is stored hygienically by the trolley device 3.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, the trolley device 3 can be moved by the caster 12, the first power feeding unit 4 connected to a predetermined power source, the first power receiving unit 14 of the trolley device 3, Close and face each other. Then, non-contact power is transmitted from the first power feeding unit 4 to the first power receiving unit 14 by electromagnetic coupling, and the trolley device 3 receives a required power supply. In this case, the power supply destination is specifically each circuit of the first power receiving unit 14, the dryer 13, the tray 2, or the like.

  And the dryer 13 which is a dehumidification means can receive the supply of electric power, dehumidify the inside of the storage space 10b of the trolley apparatus 3, and can hold | maintain the sanitary state of the medical instrument in the state where it is stored.

  Furthermore, since the trolley device 3 stores a medical instrument in the trolley body 10 and can easily separate the first power receiving unit 14 and the first power feeding unit 4, the trolley device 3 can be moved by a caster 12. It is configured. Therefore, the movement of the trolley device 3 can be performed in a state where a medical instrument or the like is stored in the trolley device 3. That is, the medical instrument can be transported without taking out the medical instrument from the trolley device 3. Further, since the trolley device 3 does not require a power cord or the like, it is not necessary to insert / remove the power cord every time it is moved, unlike a conventional device having a power cord. This also facilitates moving the device.

  Further, when the tray 2 is attached to the storage case 16 provided in the trolley body 10 of the trolley device 3, the second power receiving unit 15 receives the second power receiving unit 15 receiving power from the first power feeding unit 4. The part 34 approaches and opposes. Thereby, electric power is transmitted from the second power feeding unit 15 to the second power receiving unit 34 in a non-contact manner, and the tray 2 receives a required power supply. The electric power is also supplied to a sterilizing lamp 35 such as a UV-LED which is a sterilizing means of the tray 2, and the sterilizing lamp 35 is turned on to emit ultraviolet rays. The ultraviolet ray sterilizes the medical device and the like stored in the storage portion 32 of the tray 2, and the medical device and the like can be stored in a hygienic environment until the next use, for example.

  Further, since the tray 2 including the second power receiving unit 34 can be disconnected from the second power feeding unit 15 of the trolley device 3, the tray 2 is configured to be detachable from the trolley body 10 of the trolley device 3. Has been. Therefore, the tray 2 can store the stored medical instrument or the like by the trolley device 3. For example, when the tray 2 is taken out from the trolley device 3 as necessary for inspection, the tray 2 can be transported to a desired place such as a laboratory. In addition, the medical device can be transported hygienically and easily.

  Furthermore, since the used medical instrument can be transported in a state where it is stored in the storage portion 32 of the tray 2, there is no possibility of dripping or dirtying hands. For this reason, even when the cleaning / disinfecting apparatus 80 is operated, the apparatus itself is not contaminated and is hygienic.

  In addition, after washing and disinfecting, simply returning the tray 2 containing the cleaned medical instrument to the trolley device 3 supplies power to the sterilization lamp 35 of the tray 2 again. Can be stored.

  As described above, the trolley system 1 according to the present embodiment can hygienically carry the medical instrument using the tray 2 and store the medical instrument using the trolley device 3 and the tray 2. Furthermore, efficient operation and management of medical instruments can be easily performed according to usage patterns such as cleaning / disinfecting treatment and inspection.

  In addition, since the second power feeding unit 15 of the tray 2 is a non-contact type, an electrical contact is unnecessary, and it is not necessary to extend the power cable, and it is easy to make a waterproof structure. Therefore, it is possible to provide the user with simple handling that the entire tray 2 can be washed and disinfected.

  Further, in the cleaning / disinfecting process of the medical instrument performed by setting the tray 2 having the waterproof structure in the cleaning / disinfecting apparatus 80, for example, after the cleaning / disinfecting is completed, the history information of the medical instrument is wirelessly transmitted from the cleaning / disinfecting apparatus 80. . Then, the data receiving circuit 68 of the tray 2 receives the history information via the receiving coil 67 and the data control circuit 70 writes the history information in the memory circuit 71. Since the history information written in the memory circuit 71 is displayed on the display unit 33, the user can know the type of the medical instrument and the result of cleaning and disinfection when the medical instrument is used next time. Management becomes easy.

  When the first operation determination circuit 56 determines that the power from the first power supply unit 4 is properly supplied, the operation check LED 17 is turned on to notify that the power is properly supplied. On the other hand, the operation check LED 17 is turned off when it is not properly supplied or when it is shut off. Therefore, the user can confirm that the function of the photocatalyst material, for example, has stopped due to the power stoppage of the first power supply unit 4, and check corresponding measures such as damage or connection failure. This makes it easier to maintain and manage the equipment.

  Further, the plurality of storage cases 16 of the trolley device 3 can be respectively stored with a plurality of medical instruments by mounting the tray 2. And each medical instrument stored in the plurality of trays 2 can be transported to another place by each tray 2, and each predetermined work can be performed individually, so that the medical instrument can be operated efficiently. Can be implemented.

  Further, when the connection detection circuit 59 detects that the power supply is possible, the control circuit 60 that receives the detection signal outputs an output from the power supply unit, and supplies power to the power reception unit in a non-contact manner. Has been done.

  On the other hand, when it is detected that the connection detection circuit 59 is in the cut-off state, the control circuit 60 performs control to stop the output from the power feeding unit. This control prevents a power feeding operation from being inadvertently performed in a state where there is no power receiving unit.

  Further, the tray 2 is placed on the upper surface of the trolley device 3, the wrapping paper 22 is taken out from the wrapping opening 20 a of the wrapping storage member 20, and the opening 32 a of the tray 2 can be covered with the wrapping paper 22. I have to. By this lapping process, it is possible to prevent contamination of germs and dust from the opening 32a of the tray 2. And the hygiene state of a medical instrument can be kept favorable during conveyance and storage of the medical instrument by the tray 2.

  Further, even if the second power receiving unit 34 does not receive an output from the outside, the second operation determination circuit 103 performs control to switch to the output of the secondary battery 101. As a result, the required power can always be supplied to the tray 2. Therefore, for example, even during transportation with the tray 2 removed from the trolley device 3, the power to the germicidal lamp 35 and the display unit 33 of the tray 2 can be secured, so that functions such as antibacterial and antifouling by the photocatalyst material work. Sterilized state can always be maintained, and history information can always be confirmed.

  Since history information relating to the medical instrument being transported can always be displayed on the display unit 33, history information such as the type of medical instrument and the date and time of completion of cleaning and disinfection can be confirmed at any time. Therefore, even when the plurality of trays 2 removed from the trolley device 3 are simultaneously present in the examination room or the like, for example, the medical instrument stored in each tray 2 can be easily managed.

  Further, since the operation check LED 17 can be turned on by the secondary battery 103, the user can check whether or not power is properly supplied to the tray 2 in a state where it is removed from the trolley device 3. can do.

  Next, a modification of the trolley system according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a modification of the trolley system according to the first embodiment.

  The basic configuration of this modification is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment described above. Accordingly, the same components as those in the first embodiment described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, the description thereof is omitted, and only different components will be described below.

  In the trolley system 1A of the present modification, in addition to the configuration of the first embodiment described above, the first secondary battery 91 that is a power storage unit that can be charged inside the first power receiving unit 14 of the trolley device 3. It differs in that it is provided and configured. In the first embodiment described above, the secondary battery 101 that is a storage battery provided in the second power receiving unit 34 of the tray 2 is handled as the second secondary battery 101 in this modification. The configuration and operation of the second secondary battery 101 are exactly the same as those of the secondary battery 101 in the first embodiment described above.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the first power receiving unit 14 in the present modification is replaced with the first constant voltage circuit 52 and the first operation determination circuit 56 in the first embodiment described above. A voltage circuit 92 and an output switching means, and a first operation determination circuit 93 as an operation determination means are provided.

  A chargeable first secondary battery 91 is connected to the first constant voltage circuit 92 of the first power receiving unit 14. The first secondary battery 91 is configured to be rechargeable by a charging circuit (not shown) built in the first power receiving unit 14. The first operation determination circuit 93 determines the operation state of the first power receiving unit 14.

  When appropriate power is supplied to the first power receiving unit 14, the first constant voltage circuit 92 operates in the same manner as the first constant voltage circuit 52 of the first embodiment described above. On the other hand, when the connection in the first power receiving unit 14 is cut off and the first operation determination circuit 93 detects the stop of the output, the output of the first constant voltage circuit 92 is switched to the first secondary battery 91. Control is made. Other operations of the first operation determination circuit 93 are the same as those of the first operation determination circuit 56 in the first embodiment described above.

  Further, the second power receiving unit 34 in this modification includes a smoothing circuit 102 instead of the smoothing circuit 63 of the first embodiment described above. The second power receiving unit 34 includes a second operation determination circuit 103 as an output switching unit and an operation determination unit.

  A chargeable second secondary battery 101 is connected to the smoothing circuit 102 of the second power receiving unit 34. The second secondary battery 101 is configured as a power storage unit that can be charged by a charging circuit (not shown) built in the second power receiving unit 34. The second operation determination circuit 103 monitors the output of the second constant voltage circuit 64 and determines the operation state of the second power receiving unit 34.

  When appropriate power is supplied to the second power receiving unit 34, the smoothing circuit 102 operates in the same manner as the smoothing circuit 63 of the first embodiment described above. On the other hand, when the connection in the first power receiving unit 14 or the second power receiving unit 34 is cut off and the second operation determination circuit 103 detects the stop of the output, the output of the smoothing circuit 102 is supplied to the second secondary battery. Control to switch to 101 is performed.

  Other configurations are substantially the same as those in the first embodiment.

  With the above configuration, switching control is performed so that power from the first secondary battery 91 and the second secondary battery 101 is supplied even if the connection between each power feeding unit and the power receiving unit is interrupted. The internal circuit can be temporarily driven.

  Therefore, for example, power can be supplied to the dryer 13 and the tray 2 of the trolley device 3 even while the trolley device 3 is moved away from the first power supply unit 4 for transporting the endoscope 8. become able to.

  In other words, when the trolley device 3 is disconnected from the first power supply unit 4, the first operation determination circuit 93 that monitors the output of the inverter circuit 53 determines that it is in the cut-off state. The first operation determination circuit 93 performs control to switch the output of the first constant voltage circuit 92 to the first secondary battery 91. As a result, the electric power of the first secondary battery 91 is supplied to the dryer 13 and the second power supply unit 15 of the tray 2 via the first constant voltage circuit 92, the inverter circuit 53, and the output control circuit 55. It will be different. Furthermore, since the second power receiving unit 34 receives power from the second power feeding unit 15, the germicidal lamp 35 can be lit continuously.

  When the tray 2 is removed from the trolley device 3, the second operation determination circuit 103 that monitors the output of the second constant voltage circuit 64 determines that the state has changed to the shut-off state. Then, the second operation determination circuit 103 performs control to switch the output of the smoothing circuit 102 to the second secondary battery 101.

  Thereby, the electric power from the second secondary battery 101 is supplied to the LED drive circuit 65 via the smoothing circuit 102 and the second constant voltage circuit 64. And the LED drive circuit 65 lights the germicidal lamp 35 continuously.

The memory / comparison circuit 271 stores a storage limit time, which is predetermined time information input in advance, in the flash memory. The memory / comparison circuit 271 stores the history information demodulated by the data demodulation circuit 69 in the flash memory, and compares the time when the history information is stored with the current time input from the time calculation circuit 272. By doing so, the elapsed time from the time when the history information is stored is calculated. The memory / comparison circuit 271 compares the elapsed time with the storage limit time, and outputs reprocessing necessity information based on the comparison result to the display unit 233. Specifically, if the elapsed time is equal to or longer than the storage limit time, the memory / comparison circuit 271 determines that the cleaning / disinfecting process needs to be performed again, and outputs the result as reprocessing necessity information. If the elapsed time is shorter than the storage limit time, it is determined that there is no need to perform another cleaning / disinfecting process, and the information is output as reprocessing necessity information. If the history information is not stored in the flash memory, the memory / comparison circuit 271 determines that the cleaning / disinfecting process needs to be performed, and outputs the result as reprocessing necessity information.

  The display unit 233 is a display device that performs display that can be visually determined by the user. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the display unit 233 can display character information such as a liquid crystal display device, a segment LED, and electronic paper. It consists of a device.

Specifically, the date and time of processing is displayed as the end date and time. On the other hand, the reprocessing necessity information is displayed on the display unit 233 as visual information such as colors and blinking of lamps. Specifically, when the memory / comparison circuit 271 determines that the cleaning / disinfecting process needs to be performed again, it is determined that the backlight of the liquid crystal display device is red and the cleaning / disinfecting process is not necessary. In such a case, the backlight is displayed in green, and the reprocessing necessity information is displayed in a state that the user can visually determine.

  The reprocessing necessity information may be displayed by blinking a warning or the like, blinking characters displaying history information, or changing the character color. Further, the method of notifying the user of the reprocessing necessity information is not limited to the above-described method that can be visually judged by the user, and may be a method using a sounding means such as a buzzer that emits a warning sound, for example. It may be a combination thereof.
