Description

この発明は内視鏡装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an endoscope apparatus.

一般に胃腸検査用の内視鏡には、観察窓の表面を洗浄するための送水管路が内蔵されているが、大腸検査用の内視鏡等にはさらに、観察対象である粘膜面に付いた便などを洗い流すための第２の送水管路が内蔵されている。   In general, endoscopes for gastrointestinal examinations have a built-in water conduit for cleaning the surface of the observation window, but endoscopes for colon examinations are also attached to the mucosal surface to be observed. A second water supply conduit for washing away stools is incorporated.

光源装置に着脱自在に接続されるコネクタ部の胴部の側面にはそのような二つの送水管路の入口部である二つの給水口金が並んで配置されていて、一方の給水口金には観察窓洗浄のための自動給水用の送水タンクの給水チューブを接続し、他方の給水口金には粘膜面洗浄のための手動給水具の給水チューブを接続するようになっている（例えば、特許文献１）。
特開平１０−２７６９６８ Two water supply caps that are the inlet portions of such two water supply pipes are arranged side by side on the side surface of the body portion of the connector portion that is detachably connected to the light source device, and one of the water supply caps has an observation. A water supply tube of a water supply tank for automatic water supply for window cleaning is connected, and a water supply tube of a manual water supply tool for mucosal surface cleaning is connected to the other water supply base (for example, Patent Document 1). ).
JP-A-10-276968

しかし、そのような構成の内視鏡では、使用準備の際に、送水タンクの給水チューブと手動給水具の給水チューブとを二つの給水口金に個別に接続しなければならないので面倒である。   However, the endoscope having such a configuration is troublesome because it is necessary to individually connect the water supply tube of the water supply tank and the water supply tube of the manual water supply device to the two water supply caps when preparing for use.

そこで、二つの給水口金に対して着脱自在に接続される二つの接続口金を一つの接続アダプタに並んで配置することが考えられ、本発明の出願人が既に特願２００４−３６２０９８として特許出願済である。   Therefore, it is conceivable to arrange two connection bases that are detachably connected to the two water supply bases in line with one connection adapter, and the applicant of the present invention has already applied for a patent as Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-362098. It is.

しかし、コネクタ部の胴体の側面に並んで配置された二つの給水口金はどうしても大きさ及び外観が大差のないものになってしまうので、そこに接続アダプタを接続する際に誤って二つの接続口金を逆に接続しようとする場合があり、無理をして口金を破損してしまう恐れがある。   However, since the two water supply caps arranged side by side on the side of the body of the connector part are inevitably in size and appearance, there are two connection caps accidentally when connecting the connection adapter there. If you try to connect them in reverse, there is a risk of damaging the base.

そこで本発明は、コネクタ部の胴体の側面に並んで配置された複数の給水口金に対して、複数の接続口金が並んで配置された接続アダプタを誤ることなく正しく接続することができる内視鏡装置を提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, the present invention provides an endoscope that can correctly connect a connection adapter in which a plurality of connection bases are arranged side by side to a plurality of water supply bases that are arranged side by side on the side surface of the body of the connector unit without error. An object is to provide an apparatus.

上記の目的を達成するため、本発明の内視鏡装置は、光源装置に着脱自在に接続されるコネクタ部の胴体の側面に複数の給水口金が並んで配置されて、複数の給水口金に対して着脱自在に接続される複数の接続口金が一つの接続アダプタに並んで配置された内視鏡装置において、接続アダプタを接続口金の背面側から見たときの接続アダプタの輪郭形状を非対称の形状に形成すると共に、接続アダプタが接続される部分のコネクタ部の胴部の外壁面に、接続アダプタと略同寸法で同形状の指標を形成したものである。   In order to achieve the above object, an endoscope apparatus according to the present invention has a plurality of water supply bases arranged side by side on a side surface of a body of a connector portion that is detachably connected to a light source device. In an endoscope apparatus in which a plurality of connection bases that are detachably connected are arranged in a line with a single connection adapter, the contour shape of the connection adapter when the connection adapter is viewed from the back side of the connection base is asymmetrical In addition, on the outer wall surface of the body portion of the connector portion to which the connection adapter is connected, an index having the same dimensions and the same shape as the connection adapter is formed.

なお、指標が、接続アダプタの輪郭に沿ってコネクタ部の胴部の外壁面から突出形成されたものであってもよく、或いは、指標が、接続アダプタの輪郭に沿ってコネクタ部の胴部の外壁面に平面的に表示されたものであってもよい。   The indicator may be formed by protruding from the outer wall surface of the connector portion body along the outline of the connection adapter, or the indicator may be formed on the body portion of the connector portion along the outline of the connection adapter. It may be displayed planarly on the outer wall surface.

本発明によれば、複数の接続口金が配置された接続アダプタをコネクタ部外壁面の指標に合う向きにしてから、コネクタ部側の複数の給水口金に接続アダプタ側の複数の接続口金を接続することで、コネクタ部側の複数の給水口金に対して接続アダプタ側の複数の接続口金を誤ることなく正しく接続することができる。   According to the present invention, the connection adapter on which the plurality of connection caps are arranged is oriented to match the index of the outer wall surface of the connector unit, and then the plurality of connection caps on the connection adapter side are connected to the plurality of water supply caps on the connector unit side. Thus, the plurality of connection caps on the connection adapter side can be correctly connected to the plurality of water supply caps on the connector portion side without any error.

光源装置に着脱自在に接続されるコネクタ部の胴体の側面に複数の給水口金が並んで配置されて、複数の給水口金に対して着脱自在に接続される複数の接続口金が一つの接続アダプタに並んで配置された内視鏡装置において、接続アダプタを接続口金の背面側から見たときの接続アダプタの輪郭形状を非対称の形状に形成すると共に、接続アダプタが接続される部分のコネクタ部の胴部の外壁面に、接続アダプタと略同寸法で同形状の指標を形成する。   A plurality of water supply caps are arranged side by side on the side of the body of the connector portion that is detachably connected to the light source device, and a plurality of connection caps that are detachably connected to the plurality of water supply caps are connected to one connection adapter. In the endoscope apparatus arranged side by side, the contour shape of the connection adapter when the connection adapter is viewed from the back side of the connection base is formed in an asymmetric shape, and the body of the connector portion of the portion to which the connection adapter is connected On the outer wall surface of the part, an index of the same shape as the connection adapter is formed.

第１の給水口金１３は、挿入部１の先端に配置された観察窓に吹き付けるための水の給水を図示されていない自動給水用の送水タンクから受けるためのものであり、第２の給水口金１４は、挿入部１の先端から観察視野の粘膜面等に向けて噴出させるための水を図示されていない手動給水具から受けるためのものである。   The first water supply cap 13 is for receiving water supply for spraying water on an observation window disposed at the tip of the insertion portion 1 from a water supply tank for automatic water supply (not shown). 14 is for receiving water for ejecting from the distal end of the insertion portion 1 toward the mucosal surface or the like of the observation visual field from a manual water supply device (not shown).

図１と図３は、コネクタ部１０に接続アダプタ２０が接続されていない状態を示しており、送水タンクに通じる送水タンク接続チューブ３３と手動給水具に通じる手動給水具接続チューブ３４とが接続アダプタ２０の背面部分に各々着脱自在に接続されている。   FIGS. 1 and 3 show a state in which the connection adapter 20 is not connected to the connector portion 10, and a water supply tank connection tube 33 leading to the water supply tank and a manual water supply connector connection tube 34 leading to the manual water supply device are connected adapters. 20 are detachably connected to the back surface portion.

接続アダプタ２０のコネクタ部１０に面する側の面（前面）には、第１の給水口金１３に対して接続される第１の接続口金２３と、第２の給水口金１４に対して接続される第２の接続口金２４とが並列に突設されている。なお、第１の接続口金２３及び第２の接続口金２４に配置されているＯリング等については図示が省略されている。   A surface (front surface) facing the connector portion 10 of the connection adapter 20 is connected to a first connection base 23 connected to the first water supply base 13 and a second water supply base 14. And a second connection base 24 projecting in parallel. Note that illustration of the O-rings and the like arranged in the first connection base 23 and the second connection base 24 is omitted.

そのような構成により、図４に示されるように、第１の給水口金１３と第２の給水口金１４に対して第１の接続口金２３と第２の接続口金２４をワンタッチで接続することができ、また、図３に示されるように、第１の接続口金２３と第２の接続口金２４を第１の給水口金１３と第２の給水口金１４からワンタッチで取り外すことができる。なお、図４に示される１７と１８は、吸引チューブ接続口金とアース端子である。   With such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 4, the first connection base 23 and the second connection base 24 can be connected to the first water supply base 13 and the second water supply base 14 with one touch. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the first connection base 23 and the second connection base 24 can be detached from the first water supply base 13 and the second water supply base 14 with one touch. Note that reference numerals 17 and 18 shown in FIG. 4 denote a suction tube connection base and a ground terminal.

図５は、接続アダプタ２０単体から送水タンク接続チューブ３３と手動給水具接続チューブ３４が外された状態の接続アダプタ２０の背面（即ち、コネクタ部１０に面する側の面に対する背面）を示しており、３３Ａと３４Ａは、送水タンク接続チューブ３３と手動給水具接続チューブ３４が各々着脱自在に接続される接続孔である。   FIG. 5 shows a back surface of the connection adapter 20 in a state where the water tank connection tube 33 and the manual water supply device connection tube 34 are removed from the connection adapter 20 alone (that is, the back surface with respect to the surface facing the connector portion 10). 33A and 34A are connection holes to which the water supply tank connection tube 33 and the manual water supply device connection tube 34 are detachably connected.

図５に示されるように、この実施例においては、接続アダプタ２０を背面側から見た時の輪郭形状が、長方形の一辺だけを斜め向きに変えた四辺形からなる非対称形状に形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, when the connection adapter 20 is viewed from the back side, the contour shape is formed in an asymmetric shape consisting of a quadrilateral in which only one side of the rectangle is changed obliquely. .

一方、図６に示されるように、接続アダプタ２０が接続される部分のコネクタ部１０の胴体１０ａの外壁面には、輪郭形状が接続アダプタ２０と略同寸法で同形状の非対称形の指標１６が形成されており、この実施例の指標１６は、図３、図４及び図１に示されるように、接続アダプタ２０の輪郭に沿ってコネクタ部１０の胴体１０ａの外壁面から僅かに（例えば０．５〜２ｍｍ程度）突出形成されている。   On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, on the outer wall surface of the body 10 a of the connector portion 10 to which the connection adapter 20 is connected, the asymmetrical index 16 whose contour shape is substantially the same size as the connection adapter 20.
