Switch the program of cleaning and disinfection process. In addition, since the structure of the other washing | cleaning disinfection apparatus 1 is known, the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  Next, the operation of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4 described above. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a method of switching the program of the cleaning / disinfecting process of the control unit after the cleaning / disinfecting tank is stored in the cleaning / disinfecting tank of FIG. 1, and FIG. It is a graph which shows each program of the washing | cleaning disinfection process performed to.

  In addition, the operation | movement shown below demonstrates the operation | movement which the control part 100 switches the program of a washing | cleaning disinfection process automatically after the to-be-cleaned disinfectant is accommodated in the washing | cleaning disinfection tank 6. FIG. Therefore, since the operation of the other cleaning / disinfecting apparatus 1 is well known, the description thereof is omitted.

  First, when cleaning and disinfecting the object to be cleaned using the cleaning and disinfecting apparatus 1, the object to be cleaned is accommodated in the cleaning and disinfecting tank 6 as it is, or a tray adapted to the object to be cleaned is adapted to the object to be cleaned. 11, the tray 11 is stored in the cleaning / disinfecting tank 6.

  Thereafter, when the top cover 3 is closed with respect to the apparatus main body 2 and the start button is turned on by the operator from the operation panel 4 (see FIG. 1), the control unit 100 first proceeds to step S1 in FIG. As shown, each ID tag of the object to be cleaned or the tray 11 is read via the antenna 5 (see FIG. 1), the identification information unique to the object to be cleaned is recognized, and the process proceeds to step S2.

  Next, in step S2, the control unit 100 determines whether the ID tag has been successfully read. When the reading of the ID tag fails, the control unit 100 stores the slipper 60 having no ID tag or nothing in the cleaning / disinfecting tank 6, as shown in FIG. Furthermore, although something to be cleaned and disinfected is contained in the cleaning / disinfecting tank 6, it is determined that the reading of the ID tag has failed, and a warning is given. Then, the process proceeds to step S15, and the operator The cleaning / disinfecting process program is switched to program F so that the cleaning / disinfecting process program can be manually set from the operation panel 4. After that, for example, when the object to be cleaned is the slipper 60, the cleaning process is unnecessary, so the operator sets a program to perform only the disinfection process.

  If the control unit 100 succeeds in reading the ID tag in step S <b> 2, the process proceeds to step S <b> 3 and determines whether the ID tag has been read from the tray 11. That is, it is determined whether the cleaning / disinfecting tank 6 stores the cleaning / disinfecting material via the tray 11 or directly stores the cleaning / disinfecting material.

  When the control unit 100 directly reads the ID tag to be cleaned and disinfected, specifically, for example, when directly reading from the ID tag 120 of the endoscope 10 as shown in FIG. 2, the process proceeds to step S15. The control unit 100 switches the cleaning / disinfecting process program to the program F so that the operator can manually set the cleaning / disinfecting process program from the operation panel 4 after warning that the tray 11 is not present.

  When the control unit 100 reads the ID tag from the tray 11, the process proceeds to step S <b> 4 and it is determined what the disinfectant to be cleaned contained in the tray 11 is. Specifically, in the subsequent step S <b> 5, first, it is determined whether or not the object to be cleaned stored in the tray 11 is the endoscope 10.

  If it is determined that the object to be cleaned stored in the tray 11 is the endoscope 10, that is, if it is determined that one of the ID tags 12a and 12b has been read, the process proceeds to step S6. The control unit 100 determines whether the diameter of the endoscope duct provided in the endoscope 10 accommodated in the tray 11 is thick or thin. That is, it is determined which of the ID tags 12a and 12b is read to determine whether the endoscope is a large-diameter endoscope 10a or a small-diameter endoscope 10b.

  When the ID tag 12a is read, the control unit 100 determines that what is accommodated in the cleaning / disinfecting tank 6 is the tray 11a in which the large-diameter endoscope 10a is accommodated, and proceeds to step S10. As shown in FIG. 4, the program for the cleaning / disinfecting process is switched to execute the program A for the large-diameter endoscope 10a.

  Specifically, the control unit 100 performs the ultrasonic cleaning using the above-described ultrasonic vibrator for 30 seconds, for example, and performs the in-pipe cleaning process with a larger flow rate than the small-diameter endoscope 10b. At the same time, the cleaning / disinfecting process program is switched so that the disinfecting process using the disinfecting liquid is performed and the program A for performing the rinsing process using the rinsing water is executed. At this time, the control unit also sets the time for cleaning the inside of the pipeline, disinfecting process, and rinsing process. Further, the ultrasonic cleaning time is not limited to 30 seconds. Thereafter, the control unit 100 executes the program A to perform a cleaning / disinfecting process.

  When the ID tag 12b is read, the control unit 100 determines that it is the tray 11b in which the small-diameter endoscope 10b is accommodated in the cleaning / disinfecting tank 6, and proceeds to step S11. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the program of the cleaning / disinfecting process is switched so as to execute the program B for the small diameter endoscope 10b.

  Specifically, the control unit 100 performs ultrasonic cleaning using the above-described ultrasonic vibrator for 30 seconds, for example, and performs the in-pipe cleaning process with a flow rate less than that of the large-diameter endoscope 10a. At the same time, the cleaning / disinfecting process program is switched so that the disinfecting process using the disinfecting liquid is performed, and the program B for performing the rinsing process using the rinsing water is executed. At this time, the control unit also sets the time for cleaning the inside of the pipeline, disinfecting process, and rinsing process. Further, the ultrasonic cleaning time is not limited to 30 seconds. Thereafter, the control unit 100 executes the program B to perform a cleaning / disinfecting process.

  Returning to step S5, when it is determined that the object to be cleaned contained in the tray 11 is other than the endoscope 10, the process proceeds to step S7, and whether the object to be cleaned is the cleaning brush 30. Determine whether or not.

  When the object to be cleaned is the cleaning brush 30, that is, when the ID tag 12c is read, the control unit 100 stores the cleaning brush 30 in the tray 11c in which the cleaning brush 30 is stored. The process proceeds to step S12, and the program for the cleaning / disinfecting process is switched to execute the program C for the cleaning brush 30 as shown in FIG.

  Specifically, the control unit 100 performs ultrasonic cleaning using the above-described ultrasonic transducer, and the cleaning brush 30 tends to accumulate dirt after use, so that it is longer than the cleaning time of the endoscope 10, for example 60 The program of the cleaning / disinfecting process is switched to execute the program C for performing the disinfecting process using the disinfecting liquid and performing the rinsing process using the rinsing water. At this time, the control unit also sets the time for the disinfection process and the rinsing process. Further, the ultrasonic cleaning time is not limited to 60 seconds as long as it is longer than the ultrasonic cleaning time of the endoscope. Thereafter, the control unit 100 executes the program C to perform a cleaning / disinfecting process.

  When the object to be cleaned is not the cleaning brush 30, the process proceeds to step S8, and it is determined whether or not the object to be cleaned is the sliding tube 40.

  When the object to be cleaned is the sliding tube 40, that is, when the ID tag 12d is read, the control unit 100 stores the tray 11d in which the sliding tube 40 is stored in the cleaning / disinfecting tank 6. Then, the process proceeds to step S13, and the cleaning / disinfecting process program is switched to execute the program D for the sliding tube 40 as shown in FIG.

  Specifically, the control unit 100 switches the program of the cleaning / disinfecting process so as to execute the program D for performing the disinfecting process using the disinfecting liquid and the rinsing process using the rinsing water. At this time, the control unit also sets the time for the disinfection process and the rinsing process. Further, since the sliding tube 40 is made of a rubber material, ultrasonic cleaning using an ultrasonic vibrator is not necessary. Thereafter, the control unit 100 executes the program D to perform a cleaning / disinfecting process.

  When the object to be cleaned is not the sliding tube 40, the process proceeds to step S9, and it is determined whether or not the object to be cleaned is the mouthpiece 50.

  When the object to be cleaned is the mouthpiece 50, that is, when the ID tag 12e is read, the control unit 100 stores the tray 11e in which the mouthpiece 50 is stored in the cleaning / disinfecting tank 6. Then, the process proceeds to step S14, and the cleaning / disinfecting process program is switched to execute the program E for the mouthpiece 50 as shown in FIG.

  Specifically, the control unit 100 performs ultrasonic cleaning using the above-described ultrasonic vibrator, and the mouthpiece 50 has a simple structure, so that the cleaning time is shorter than that of the endoscope 10, for example, 15 seconds. The program of the cleaning / disinfecting process is switched so that the program E for performing the disinfecting process using the disinfecting liquid and performing the rinsing process using the rinsing water is executed. At this time, the control unit also sets the time for the disinfection process and the rinsing process. The ultrasonic cleaning time is not limited to 15 seconds as long as it is shorter than the ultrasonic cleaning time of the endoscope. Furthermore, since the mouthpiece 50 may be cleaned by an operator, ultrasonic cleaning may not be performed when the preliminary cleaning is performed. Thereafter, the control unit 100 executes the program E to perform a cleaning / disinfecting process.

  When the object to be cleaned is not the mouthpiece 50, that is, when it is not any of the endoscope 10, the cleaning brush 30, the sliding tube 40, and the mouthpiece 50, the process proceeds to step S15, and the control unit 100 determines that the operator The cleaning / disinfecting process program is switched to program F so that the cleaning / disinfecting process program can be manually set from the operation panel 4.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the control unit 100 determines, for each sterilized object to be cleaned, according to the identification information of the tray 11 or the sterilized object to be cleaned that is read by the antenna 5. It was shown that control to automatically execute the cleaning / disinfecting process by switching the program of the cleaning / disinfecting process was performed.

  According to this, the operator can only automatically store the disinfectant to be cleaned in the cleaning / disinfecting tank 6 via the tray 11 or directly store the disinfectant to be cleaned. A configuration capable of executing a cleaning / disinfecting program suitable for a cleaned disinfectant for each cleaned disinfectant by determining a cleaning disinfectant and executing a cleaning / disinfecting process program corresponding to the cleaned disinfectant. Can be provided.

  Hereinafter, modifications will be described. In the present embodiment, examples of the disinfectant to be cleaned include the large diameter endoscope 10a, the small diameter endoscope 10b, the cleaning brush 30, the sliding tube 40, the mouthpiece 50, and the slipper 60. Of course, other types may be used as long as they can be cleaned and disinfected by the cleaning / disinfecting apparatus 1.

  In the present embodiment, the control unit 100 reads the ID tag of the tray 11 provided for each type of the disinfectant to be cleaned through the antenna 5, and selects the disinfectant to be cleaned contained in the tray 11. Judgment shows that the program of cleaning / disinfecting process is automatically switched to execute the cleaning / disinfecting process. In addition, when the ID tag is directly read from the object to be cleaned, the operator switches to the program F that allows the operator to manually set the program for the cleaning / disinfecting process.

  Not limited to this, when the tray 11 is not used, when the ID tag is directly read from the cleaning / disinfecting material, the cleaning / disinfecting material in the cleaning / disinfecting tank 6 is determined based on the read identification information. The cleaning / disinfecting process may be executed by automatically switching the program.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in order to simplify the description, the endoscope 10 is shown by taking only two types of endoscopes 10a and 10b, which are a large-diameter endoscope 10a and a small-diameter endoscope 10b. Depending on the purpose of use, the diameter of the endoscope insertion portion, that is, the diameter of the endoscope conduit, differs depending on the type of the endoscope 10, and in this case, the control unit 100 is connected via the antenna 5, By reading an ID tag provided for each endoscope 10 and executing a different program for each diameter of the endoscope conduit, the same effect as the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the ID tag is shown by taking RFID as an example. However, the ID tag is not limited to this, and any ID tag can be used as long as it can read the identification information of the disinfectant to be cleaned.

  Further, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
