Description

本発明は、内視鏡洗浄機に関し、内視鏡洗浄機の開閉蓋に噴射ノズルを多数備えることで、上方から下方へ洗浄液及びエアを噴射供給することができるようにして、洗浄作業の効率を向上し、内視鏡の内外部に残存する消毒液又は洗浄液を完全に除去するように構成されたマルチ噴射ノズル付き内視鏡洗浄機に関する。   The present invention relates to an endoscope cleaning machine, and by providing a large number of injection nozzles on the opening / closing lid of the endoscope cleaning machine, it is possible to inject and supply cleaning liquid and air from the upper side to the lower side. And an endoscope cleaning machine with a multi-injection nozzle configured to completely remove the disinfecting liquid or the cleaning liquid remaining inside and outside the endoscope.

内視鏡は、患者の人体内に挿入され、患部を施術する医療器具であって、内視鏡の使用後は、必ず、消毒及び洗浄してから再使用しなければならない。   An endoscope is a medical instrument that is inserted into a patient's body and treats an affected area. After an endoscope is used, it must be sterilized and washed before reuse.

このような必要性から、内視鏡洗浄機に関する多大な研究がなされ、また、多くの内視鏡洗浄機が、資料等を通じて紹介されている。   Because of this need, a great deal of research has been conducted on endoscope cleaning machines, and many endoscope cleaning machines have been introduced through materials and the like.

従来の内視鏡洗浄機は、内部の中心部に、回転棒と、内視鏡を固定する網とが設けられており、水と消毒液が注入される注入口と排水口が備えられた洗浄槽が上部に形成されているところ、洗浄槽内に設けられた網に、回転棒を中心として内視鏡を巻いて固定してから、水を注入し、回転棒を高速で回転させて洗浄、排水した後、消毒液を注入して高速で回転させる過程を、2〜3回繰り返して洗浄した。   A conventional endoscope cleaning machine is provided with a rotating rod and a net for fixing the endoscope at the center of the interior, and is provided with an inlet and a drain for injecting water and a disinfectant. When the washing tank is formed at the top, the endoscope is wound around the mesh provided in the washing tank and fixed around it, then water is injected, and the rotating bar is rotated at high speed. After washing and draining, the process of injecting a disinfectant and rotating at high speed was repeated 2-3 times.

ところが、このような従来の内視鏡洗浄機は、洗浄の際、水を入れて使用するものであるので、排水しても、内視鏡の内外部に異物が付いていることがあり、また、回転棒を高速で回転させても、その洗浄力が不十分であり、何回も繰り返して洗浄及び消毒することから、資源が無駄になるという問題があった。   However, since such a conventional endoscope cleaning machine is used by putting water in cleaning, even if it is drained, foreign matter may be attached to the inside and outside of the endoscope. Further, even if the rotating rod is rotated at a high speed, the cleaning power is insufficient, and cleaning and disinfection are repeated many times, resulting in a problem that resources are wasted.

また、このような問題点を解決するために、図1に示した他の従来の内視鏡洗浄機100は、容器の動作状態をコントロールするコントロールボックス110と、消毒液及び水・空気を用いて内視鏡を洗浄・消毒・防水チェックをするように洗浄水が供給され、洗浄液が噴射される洗浄液噴射装置120、内視鏡が載置される内視鏡据置台130、空気・水洗浄アダプタ140、防水チェック用水供給管150、薬液供給管160、消毒液及び水感知センサ170から構成されるチャンバ部と、洗浄液供給用モータの駆動により、回転ノズルとメインフォルダを介して、内視鏡の内外部を洗浄する洗浄液を供給する洗浄液貯留筒と、消毒液供給用モータの駆動により、消毒液排水口とメインフォルダを介して、内視鏡の内外部を消毒する消毒液を供給する消毒液貯留筒と、消毒液貯留筒から供給された消毒液が、セッティング消毒時間が経過すると、自動で消毒液貯留筒に貯留され、再使用できるように制御する消毒液制御部と、内視鏡内のチャンネルに残留している洗浄液を除去するように用いられる高圧ポンプと、チャンバ中に貯留している消毒液を更に消毒液貯留筒に回収・排出させる電動バルブと、電動バルブのオン・オフにより、電動バルブを制御する流速センサとを備えて、洗浄・消毒・防水チェックが可能となっている。   In order to solve such a problem, the other conventional endoscope cleaner 100 shown in FIG. 1 uses a control box 110 for controlling the operation state of the container, a disinfectant, water and air. The cleaning water is supplied so that the endoscope is cleaned, disinfected and waterproofed, and the cleaning liquid is ejected by the cleaning liquid injection device 120. The endoscope mounting table 130 on which the endoscope is placed. The air / water cleaning is performed. Endoscope through rotating nozzle and main folder by driving the adapter 140, the water supply pipe 150 for waterproof check, the chemical liquid supply pipe 160, the disinfectant liquid and the water detection sensor 170, and the cleaning liquid supply motor. Disinfection that disinfects the inside and outside of the endoscope through the disinfectant drain and main folder by driving the disinfecting liquid supply cylinder and the disinfecting liquid supply motor. A disinfecting liquid storage cylinder that supplies the disinfecting liquid, and a disinfecting liquid control unit that controls the disinfecting liquid supplied from the disinfecting liquid storage cylinder to be automatically stored in the disinfecting liquid storage cylinder when the setting disinfection time has elapsed, A high-pressure pump used to remove the cleaning liquid remaining in the channel in the endoscope, an electric valve for further collecting and discharging the disinfecting liquid stored in the chamber into the disinfecting liquid storage cylinder, and the electric valve It is equipped with a flow rate sensor that controls the electric valve by turning on and off, enabling cleaning, disinfection, and waterproof checking.

しかし、このような従来の内視鏡洗浄機は、洗浄槽中心の洗浄液噴射装置の側面に形成された3、4つのノズルを通じて、水をスプリンクラーのように噴射して洗浄するものであって、側面から噴射される水の噴射距離及び噴射圧により、一定部分のみを洗浄するようになるなど、洗浄力が不十分であり、かつ、この洗浄機も、洗浄の際、水を入れて使用するものであるので、排水しても、内視鏡に異物が付いているという問題があった。   However, such a conventional endoscope cleaning machine is for cleaning by spraying water like a sprinkler through three or four nozzles formed on the side surface of the cleaning liquid injection device at the center of the cleaning tank, The cleaning power is insufficient, such as cleaning only certain parts by the spray distance and spray pressure of water sprayed from the side, and this cleaning machine is also used with water in cleaning Therefore, there is a problem that foreign matter is attached to the endoscope even when drained.

また、このような従来の内視鏡洗浄機は、洗浄機に供給された消毒液が、セッティング消毒時間が経過すると、自動で消毒液貯留筒に回収されて再使用できるような構造となっている。勿論、このような消毒液の再使用構造は、消毒液が高価ということから発明されたものであり、内視鏡の内外部を洗浄・乾燥していたとしても、内視鏡に付いているタンパク質の残渣などの異物が洗浄されることなく、残っていることが多い。したがって、これを除去するために、消毒液で消毒した場合、使用済の消毒液に異物などが残るという問題がある。   Further, such a conventional endoscope cleaning machine has a structure in which the disinfecting liquid supplied to the cleaning machine is automatically collected in the disinfecting liquid storage cylinder and can be reused after the setting disinfecting time has elapsed. Yes. Of course, such a structure for reusing the disinfectant was invented because the disinfectant was expensive, and it was attached to the endoscope even if the inside and outside of the endoscope were cleaned and dried. In many cases, foreign matters such as protein residues remain without being washed. Therefore, when disinfecting with a disinfectant to remove this, there is a problem that foreign matters remain in the used disinfectant.

このように、使用済の消毒液に、内視鏡に付いていた異物が残っており、また、内視鏡が人体内に挿入される医療機器であるということを考えると、深刻な問題を引き起こすこともある。これを防止するためには、使用済の消毒液は廃棄し、常時、新しい消毒液を使用しなければならない。   In this way, considering the fact that the used disinfectant solution still contains foreign substances attached to the endoscope, and that the endoscope is a medical device that is inserted into the human body, a serious problem arises. May cause. To prevent this, the used disinfectant must be discarded and a new disinfectant must be used at all times.

また、従来の内視鏡洗浄機は、洗浄及び消毒の後、内視鏡を洗浄槽から取り出して、洗浄機の外部に別に備えられたエアーガンに内視鏡を嵌めて乾燥させる構造を有する。このように別の乾燥機を用いて乾燥することは煩わしいだけでなく、乾燥過程で内視鏡の外部に異物が付着することになるという問題がある。   Further, the conventional endoscope cleaning machine has a structure in which, after cleaning and disinfection, the endoscope is taken out from the cleaning tank, and the endoscope is fitted into an air gun separately provided outside the cleaning machine and dried. Thus, it is not only troublesome to dry using another dryer, but there is a problem that foreign matter adheres to the outside of the endoscope during the drying process.

また、従来の内視鏡洗浄機は、内視鏡内に形成された細い吸込管を洗浄し、乾燥することに問題があった。   Further, the conventional endoscope cleaner has a problem in cleaning and drying a thin suction pipe formed in the endoscope.

強力に噴射される洗浄液により、内視鏡600の内外部に付いていた消毒液及び異物は効率的に除去され、排水口を介して排出される。   By the cleaning liquid that is jetted strongly, the disinfecting liquid and the foreign matter attached to the inside and outside of the endoscope 600 are efficiently removed and discharged through the drain port.

洗浄過程が終了した後、乾燥のため、ポンプを駆動させて、エア供給部からエアを、エア供給ホース326を介して、多数のエア噴射管路320に供給する。   After the cleaning process is completed, the pump is driven for drying, and air is supplied from the air supply unit to the multiple air injection lines 320 via the air supply hose 326.

多数のエア噴射管路320に供給されたエアは、図4に示したように、エア噴射管路320に形成されたエア噴射ノズル322を介して、下方にエアを噴射する。また、同時に、W/A噴射管214を介して、エアは、内視鏡600の注入ポート621にも供給される。この際、内視鏡600の内部管に流入される洗浄液及び/又はエアは、ソレノイドバルブにより、順次制御される。   As shown in FIG. 4, the air supplied to the large number of air injection pipes 320 injects air downward through the air injection nozzles 322 formed in the air injection pipes 320. At the same time, air is also supplied to the injection port 621 of the endoscope 600 through the W / A injection pipe 214. At this time, the cleaning liquid and / or air flowing into the inner tube of the endoscope 600 are sequentially controlled by the solenoid valve.

このように、強力に噴射されるエアにより、内視鏡600の内外部は、効率的に乾燥される。   Thus, the inside and outside of the endoscope 600 are efficiently dried by the strongly jetted air.
