[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an endoscope device storage case that integrally stores an endoscope and peripheral devices such as a light source device, a control device, and a TV monitor used together with the endoscope.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, endoscopes capable of observing organs in a body cavity by inserting an elongated endoscope insertion portion into a body cavity or performing various treatments using a treatment instrument inserted into a treatment instrument channel as necessary are medical. Widely used in the field.
[0003]
On the other hand, in the industrial field, industrial endoscopes are widely used for observing and inspecting scratches and corrosion inside pipes of boilers, turbines, engines, chemical plants and the like.
[0004]
In general, endoscopes, particularly industrial endoscopes, are stored in a trunk-type storage device and stored and transported. In addition, an endoscope having a long endoscope insertion portion is stored in a drum-type storage tool.
[0005]
Up to now, most of the types are for separately storing the endoscope main body and the peripheral device. As a drum-type storage device for storing the endoscope, for example, a drum is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-172905. The endoscope can be stored without being bulked by forming a winding part capable of winding at least the endoscope insertion part of the endoscope and a groove part into which the main body part of the endoscope is fitted on the cylindrical member. Alternatively, an endoscope storage device that can be easily housed in or removed from the case is disclosed. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-152563 discloses an endoscope storage tool that can easily store an endoscope without dropping the endoscope. However, in the endoscope storage device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-172905 and the endoscope storage device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-152563, peripheral devices such as a monitor can be integrally stored together with the endoscope. could not.
[0006]
For this reason, US Pat. No. 5,323,899 discloses a video probe case for integrally storing an endoscope and peripheral devices.
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the endoscope storing method in the video probe case of US Pat. No. 5,323,899, when the endoscope insertion portion is long, it is difficult to store the long endoscope insertion portion. There was a bug. In addition, there is a problem that the TV monitor, which is indispensable for a video endoscope, cannot be placed at an easily viewable position.
[0008]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, the endoscope can be easily stored regardless of the length of the endoscope insertion portion, and necessary peripheral devices can be stored together with the endoscope. An object of the present invention is to provide a storage case for an endoscope apparatus having means for fixing and holding a monitor at a position easy for an operator to see.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
An endoscope device storage case according to the present invention includes an endoscope storage portion having a drum portion for winding and storing an endoscope insertion portion, and a light source unit / light source device / control device integrated with a light source unit / a device accommodating portion for accommodating a control unit integrated device, and a monitor storage unit having a monitor positioning and holding means for fixedly holding by adjusting the screen of the TV monitor easy to see the position, openable and closable lid on the endoscope housing part The lid portion includes an impact absorbing member on an inner surface, and when the insertion portion is accommodated in the drum portion and the lid portion is closed, the lid is closed by the impact absorbing member. The rotation of the drum portion is suppressed.
The monitor positioning / holding means comprises a multi-joint arm composed of a plurality of arms and joints, a slide rail, or a bendable spiral tube. A free pan head for adjusting the monitor screen is provided.
[0010]
According to this configuration, the long insertion portion of the endoscope is wound around the drum and the endoscope is stored in the endoscope storage portion, while the peripheral device is stored in the device storage portion and the monitor storage portion. The endoscope and the peripheral device are stored together. Further, it is easy to adjust and fix the TV monitor screen to a position where it can be easily seen.
