この発明は使用済みの内視鏡を洗浄消毒するための洗浄
消毒装置に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a cleaning and disinfecting device for cleaning and disinfecting used endoscopes.
一般に、内視鏡の洗浄消毒装置は洗浄槽を備えている。 Generally, an endoscope cleaning and disinfecting device includes a cleaning tank.
この洗浄槽は上面が開口し、この開口面は開閉自在なカ
バーによって閉塞される。This cleaning tank has an open top, and this opening is closed by a cover that can be opened and closed.
また、洗浄構内には洗浄液や消毒液が噴出されるノズル
が設けられている。そして、上記洗浄槽内に使用済みの
内視鏡を収納したならば、上記カバーによって洗浄槽の
開口面を閉塞する。In addition, nozzles from which cleaning liquid and disinfectant are sprayed are installed in the cleaning area. After storing the used endoscope in the cleaning tank, the opening of the cleaning tank is closed with the cover.
ついで上記ノズルから洗浄液を噴出させて内視鏡を洗浄
したのち、消毒液によって消毒し、さらに消毒液を洗い
流すことによって上記内視鏡の洗浄消毒が終了する。Next, the endoscope is cleaned by jetting a cleaning liquid from the nozzle, then disinfected with a disinfectant, and the disinfectant is further washed away, thereby completing the cleaning and disinfection of the endoscope.

毒が終了した内視鏡を洗浄槽から取出さずに放置した場
合には、内視鏡に付着した水分がほとんど乾燥しないか
ら、その水分によって内視鏡が損傷させられるというこ
ともある。By the way, in the cleaning and disinfecting device having the above structure, the upper opening of the cleaning tank is liquid-tightly closed by the cover in order to prevent the cleaning liquid and disinfectant from leaking from the cleaning tank. Therefore, if you close the cleaning tank with a cover after removing the endoscope that has been cleaned and sterilized from the cleaning tank, there is little chance that the remaining water in the cleaning tank will evaporate and escape to the outside. There was a problem that residual bacteria etc. were propagating and it was extremely unsanitary. Additionally, if you leave the endoscope unremoved from the cleaning tank after cleaning and sterilization, the moisture adhering to the endoscope will hardly dry, which may cause damage to the endoscope. be.
このような問題を解消するには、洗浄槽の内部空間をた

洗浄槽を液密に閉塞することができなくなるから、洗浄
消毒時にノズルから噴射される洗浄液や消毒液が外部に
飛散してしまうという欠点が生じ、実用化することがで
きない。To solve this problem, if the interior space of the cleaning tank is communicated with the outside air by, for example, making a hole in the cover, the moisture remaining in the cleaning tank can be naturally dried. However, if a hole is made in the cover, the cover will not be able to close the cleaning tank liquid-tightly, resulting in the disadvantage that the cleaning liquid or disinfectant sprayed from the nozzle during cleaning and disinfection will scatter outside. , cannot be put into practical use.
この発明は洗浄液や消毒液を外部に飛散させルコトなく
洗浄槽の内部を外気に連通させることができるようにし
た内視鏡の洗浄消毒装置を提供することにある。An object of the present invention is to provide an endoscope cleaning/disinfecting device that allows the interior of a cleaning tank to be communicated with the outside air without scattering cleaning liquid or disinfectant to the outside.
この発明は洗浄槽の開口を開閉するカバーに液体を通さ

ある。This invention allows moisture vaporized in the cleaning tank to escape to the outside by providing a cover that opens and closes the opening of the cleaning tank with a porous member that does not allow liquid to pass through but allows only gas to pass through.
〔発明の実施例〕 以下、この発明の一実施例を図面を参照して説明する。[Embodiments of the invention] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

、この流路６には第１のノズル７ａが取着されている。The cleaning and disinfecting device shown in FIG. 1 includes a main body l. A cleaning tank 2 is provided in the upper part of the main body I. The cleaning tank 2 has an open top, and this opening faces the top of the main body 1. The center portion of the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 2 is formed with a support portion 3 projecting upward, and a liquid supply pipe 4 is rotatably supported on the support portion 3. A header 5 is attached to one end of the liquid supply pipe 4 that protrudes into the cleaning tank 2. A flow path 6 communicating with the liquid supply pipe 4 is formed in the header 5, and a first nozzle 7a is attached to this flow path 6.

には図中鎖線で示す内視鏡９が載置される。The other end of the liquid supply pipe 4 communicates with a cleaning liquid tank (not shown), and the cleaning liquid is supplied from this tank and is injected through the first nozzle 7a. Further, the disinfectant is supplied to the second nozzle 7b connected to the cleaning tank 2.
Supplied from. The header 5 is driven multiple rotations by a drive mechanism (not shown) via the liquid supply pipe 4. Further, a mounting shelf 8 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank 2, and an endoscope 9 shown by a chain line in the figure is mounted on this mounting shelf 8.

１４が穿設されている。On the other hand, the upper opening of the cleaning tank 2 is closed by a cover Iθ made of resin so as to be openable and closable. That is, one end of the cover 10 is connected to the upper surface of the main body 1 by a bendable connecting member 1, so that the cover 10 can be opened and closed. This cover IO
A shielding member 12 for allowing people to enter the cleaning tank 2 is installed around the inner surface of the cleaning tank 2.
A backing 13 is attached to the upper surface of the main body 1, and is attached to the inner surface of the cover 10 in a liquid-tight manner when the cover 10 is closed. Furthermore, a through hole 14 is bored in the cover 10.
この透孔１４は液体を通さずに気体だけを通す、たとえ
ばポリテトラフロロエチレン（ＰＴＦＥ）などの多孔質
部材１５によって閉塞されている。The through hole 14 is closed by a porous member 15 made of, for example, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which allows only gas to pass through and not liquid.
なお、本体１の上面には内視鏡９の操作部が液密構造と
なっておらず、挿入部だけを洗浄消毒する場合に操作部

パネル１８などが設けられている。Note that the operating section of the endoscope 9 does not have a liquid-tight structure on the top surface of the main body 1, and there is a mounting section 16 on which the operating section is placed when cleaning and disinfecting only the insertion section, and the endoscope 9. The internal conduit 9 is provided with a connection cap 17 for supplying cleaning liquid or disinfectant, an operation panel 18, and the like.
このように構成された洗浄消毒装置によれば、洗浄槽２
内に使用済みの内視鏡９を収容して洗浄消毒し終ったの
ち、カバーＩＯによシ上記洗浄槽２が液密に閉塞されて
も、上記カバー１０に設けられた多孔質部材１５のもつ
通気性によって洗浄槽２の内部は外気に連通している。According to the cleaning and disinfecting device configured in this way, the cleaning tank 2
Even if the cleaning tank 2 is liquid-tightly closed by the cover IO after the used endoscope 9 is housed inside and cleaned and sterilized, the porous member 15 provided on the cover 10 is Due to its breathability, the interior of the cleaning tank 2 is communicated with the outside air.
そのため、洗浄槽２内に外気が流通するから、洗浄槽２
内に残留した水分が蒸発しやすく、気化した水分、つま
シ蒸気は多孔質部材１５を通って外部に流出することに
なる。したがって、洗浄槽２の内部はカバー１０によっ
て密閉されているにもかかわらず乾燥させることができ
る。Therefore, since outside air flows into the cleaning tank 2, the cleaning tank 2
The moisture remaining inside is likely to evaporate, and the vaporized moisture and steam will flow out through the porous member 15. Therefore, the inside of the cleaning tank 2 can be dried even though it is sealed by the cover 10.
また、洗浄消毒し終った内視鏡９を取出さずに洗浄槽２
内に放置しておいても、この内視鏡９を乾燥させること
もできるから、内視鏡９を湿気によって損傷させること
が防げる。In addition, it is possible to remove the endoscope 9 from the cleaning tank 2 without taking out the endoscope 9 that has been completely cleaned and sterilized.
Even if the endoscope 9 is left inside, the endoscope 9 can be dried, which prevents the endoscope 9 from being damaged by moisture.
また、上記多孔質部材１６は気体を通すが液体を通すこ
とがないから、内視鏡９を洗浄消毒するときに上記多孔
質部材１５から洗浄液や消毒液が漏洩することがない。Further, since the porous member 16 allows gas to pass through but not liquid, there is no leakage of cleaning liquid or disinfectant from the porous member 15 when cleaning and disinfecting the endoscope 9.
以上述べたようにこの発明は、洗浄槽の開口を開閉する
カバーに液体を通さず気体だけを通す多孔質部材を設け
たから、洗浄槽内に外気を流通させることができる。し
たがって、内視鏡を洗浄消毒したのち洗浄槽内に残留す

に閉塞されていても、この内部を乾燥させ、雑菌の繁殖
を防ぐことができる。また、上記多孔質部材は液体を通
すことがないから、洗浄消毒時に用いられる液体が外部
に漏れることがない。As described above, in the present invention, since the cover that opens and closes the opening of the cleaning tank is provided with a porous member that does not allow liquid to pass through but allows only gas to pass through, it is possible to circulate outside air into the cleaning tank. Therefore, the moisture remaining in the cleaning tank after cleaning and disinfecting the endoscope easily evaporates, and the vaporized moisture flows out through the porous member, so even if the cleaning tank is liquid-tightly closed with a cover. This can dry the inside and prevent the growth of bacteria. Further, since the porous member does not allow liquid to pass through, the liquid used during cleaning and disinfection does not leak to the outside.
