　（作用）
　続いて、第１の実施形態の内視鏡付属品用ケース６１の作用について説明をする。 (Function)
Next, the operation of the endoscope accessory case 61 of the first embodiment will be described.
　ユーザは、トップカバー１１を開け、付属品Ａが取り外された内視鏡Ｅを処理槽２４にセットする。続いて、ユーザは、内視鏡付属品用ケース６１の蓋６２を開け、付属品Ａを内視鏡付属品用ケース６１に収容し、蓋６２を閉じる。トップカバー１１が、ユーザによって閉じられ、摘み６２ａの上面に当たり、又は、摘み６２ａの上面から所定距離離れた位置に配置されると、蓋６２は、トップカバー１１によってケース本体６３から外れないようになる。 The user opens the top cover 11 and sets the endoscope E from which the accessory A has been removed in the processing tank 24. Subsequently, the user opens the lid 62 of the endoscope accessory case 61, accommodates the accessory A in the endoscope accessory case 61, and closes the lid 62. When the top cover 11 is closed by the user and hits the upper surface of the knob 62a or is disposed at a position away from the upper surface of the knob 62a, the lid 62 is prevented from being detached from the case main body 63 by the top cover 11. Become.
　ユーザによって操作部２２を介して再生処理開始の指示入力がされると、制御部５１は、洗剤ノズル２７、薬液導入口３１又は循環口４１から薬液３１ａ又は水等の液体を処理槽２４に注入させ、処理槽２４に液体を貯留させる。 When the user inputs an instruction to start the regeneration process via the operation unit 22, the control unit 51 injects a liquid such as a chemical solution 31 a or water from the detergent nozzle 27, the chemical solution introduction port 31 or the circulation port 41 into the processing tank 24. The liquid is stored in the treatment tank 24.
　処理槽２４に液体が貯留されると、内視鏡付属品用ケース６１は、水没する。 When the liquid is stored in the treatment tank 24, the endoscope accessory case 61 is submerged.
　制御部５１が、流路切替弁４１ｃに対し、送液ポンプ４１ａと内視鏡付属品用ケース６１とを連通させるための制御信号を送信すると、送液ポンプ４１ａと内視鏡付属品用ケース６１は、連通する。続いて、制御部５１が、送液ポンプ４１ａに対し、送液を開始させるための制御信号を送信すると、送液ポンプ４１ａは、送液を開始する。 When the control unit 51 transmits a control signal for communicating the liquid feeding pump 41a and the endoscope accessory case 61 to the flow path switching valve 41c, the liquid feeding pump 41a and the endoscope accessory case are transmitted. 61 communicates. Subsequently, when the control unit 51 transmits a control signal for starting liquid feeding to the liquid feeding pump 41a, the liquid feeding pump 41a starts liquid feeding.
　循環口４１から取り込まれた液体は、流路切替弁４１ｃを介して噴出口Ｂ２から噴出する。噴出口Ｂ２から噴出した液体は、流体吐出部６４を押し上げ、ケース本体６３と流体吐出部６４に生じる摩擦力を減少させ、流体吐出部６４の回転性を向上させる。流体吐出部６４は、台座Ｂから外れないように、蓋６２によって当て止めされる。 The liquid taken in from the circulation port 41 is ejected from the ejection port B2 through the flow path switching valve 41c. The liquid ejected from the ejection port B2 pushes up the fluid ejection part 64, reduces the frictional force generated in the case main body 63 and the fluid ejection part 64, and improves the rotational property of the fluid ejection part 64. The fluid discharge part 64 is stopped by the lid 62 so as not to be detached from the base B.
　また、噴出口Ｂ２から噴出した液体は、接続管路６４ｂに流入し、吐出口６４ｃから吐出される。吐出口６４ｃが液体を吐出すると、吐出した液体の反力により、流体吐出部６４は、軸周りに回転する。流体吐出部６４が回転すると、吐出口６４ｃの吐出方向は変動する。 Further, the liquid ejected from the ejection port B2 flows into the connection pipe 64b and is ejected from the ejection port 64c. When the discharge port 64c discharges the liquid, the fluid discharge portion 64 rotates around the axis by the reaction force of the discharged liquid. When the fluid discharge unit 64 rotates, the discharge direction of the discharge port 64c changes.
　これにより、内視鏡付属品用ケース６１では、流体の吐出を吐出口６４ｃに集中させ、かつ吐出した流体の反力によって回転して複数方向へ流体を吐出する。 Thereby, in the endoscope accessory case 61, the discharge of the fluid is concentrated at the discharge port 64c and rotated by the reaction force of the discharged fluid to discharge the fluid in a plurality of directions.
　第１の実施形態によれば、内視鏡付属品用ケース６１は、より強力に、かつ複数方向へ流体を吐出し、付属品Ａの撹拌を効果的に行うことができる。 According to the first embodiment, the endoscope accessory case 61 can discharge the fluid in a plurality of directions more strongly and effectively stir the accessory A.
　（第１の実施形態の変形例１）
　実施形態では、内視鏡リプロセッサ１は、付属品Ａが引っかかる等により、流体吐出部６４が回転できない、又は、回転が遅くなる等の異常状態になったとき、異常状態をユーザに警告できないが、ユーザに警告できるように構成しても構わない。本変形例の説明では、他の実施形態及び他の変形例と同じ構成については、説明を省略する。 (Modification 1 of the first embodiment)
In the embodiment, the endoscope reprocessor 1 cannot warn the user of an abnormal state when the fluid discharge unit 64 cannot rotate or the rotation becomes slow due to the accessory A being caught or the like. However, it may be configured to warn the user. In the description of this modification, the description of the same configuration as that of the other embodiments and other modifications is omitted.
　台座Ｂは、回転センサＳ１を有する（図３の２点鎖線）。回転センサＳ１は、流体吐出部６４の回転を検知し、検知信号を制御部５１に出力する。回転センサＳ１は、例えばリードスイッチを有する磁気センサＳ１である。 The base B has a rotation sensor S1 (two-dot chain line in FIG. 3). The rotation sensor S <b> 1 detects the rotation of the fluid discharge unit 64 and outputs a detection signal to the control unit 51. The rotation sensor S1 is a magnetic sensor S1 having a reed switch, for example.
　流体吐出部６４の鍔状部６４ｅは、回転センサＳ１と対向する位置に、回転位置マーカである磁石Ｓ２を有する（図３の２点鎖線）。 The bowl-shaped part 64e of the fluid discharge part 64 has a magnet S2 which is a rotation position marker at a position facing the rotation sensor S1 (two-dot chain line in FIG. 3).
　流体吐出部６４が軸周りに回転すると、１回転毎に回転センサＳ１が磁石Ｓ２を検知し、検知信号を制御部５１に出力する。例えば、回転センサＳ１が所定時間磁石Ｓ２を検知しない等、流体吐出部６４の異常状態を検知すると、制御部５１は、警告音の出力等によってユーザに異常状態を警告する。 When the fluid discharge unit 64 rotates around the axis, the rotation sensor S1 detects the magnet S2 every rotation and outputs a detection signal to the control unit 51. For example, when the abnormal state of the fluid discharge unit 64 is detected such that the rotation sensor S1 does not detect the magnet S2 for a predetermined time, the control unit 51 warns the user of the abnormal state by outputting a warning sound or the like.
　すなわち、流体吐出部６４は、処理槽２４に設けられた回転センサＳ１に対向する位置に磁石Ｓ２を有し、磁石Ｓ２は、回転センサＳ１に流体吐出部６４の回転を検知させる。 That is, the fluid discharge unit 64 has the magnet S2 at a position facing the rotation sensor S1 provided in the processing tank 24, and the magnet S2 causes the rotation sensor S1 to detect the rotation of the fluid discharge unit 64.
　これにより、内視鏡リプロセッサ１は、流体吐出部６４が異常状態になったとき、ユーザに警告することができる。 Thereby, the endoscope reprocessor 1 can warn the user when the fluid ejection unit 64 becomes abnormal.

In the description of this modification, the description of the same configuration as that of the other embodiments and other modifications is omitted.
　図５に示すように、内視鏡付属品用ケース６１は、仕切り壁Ｗを有する。仕切り壁Ｗは、収容部６１ａを２つに仕切り、収容部６１ｂと収容部６１ｃに分離させる。 As shown in FIG. 5, the endoscope accessory case 61 has a partition wall W. The partition wall W partitions the housing portion 61a into two parts and separates the housing portion 61b and the housing portion 61c.
　これにより、内視鏡付属品用ケース６１では、付属品Ａの種類を分けて収納することができ、複数種類の付属品Ａを簡便に再生処理することができる。 Thereby, in the endoscope accessory case 61, the types of accessories A can be stored separately, and a plurality of types of accessories A can be easily reproduced.

The outer edge portion of the fluid converging portion 314 is disposed between the bottom 63b and the base Bc so that the fluid converging portion 314 does not fall off. The fluid converging unit 314 is provided with an opening that communicates with the fluid conduit 313. The fluid converging part 314 is formed in a concave shape on the inner side, and converges the fluid ejected from the plurality of ejection ports Bc2 provided in the upper part of the base Bc to flow into the fluid conduit 313. That is, the holding cylinder 311 is provided so as to rise from the lower part of the housing portions 61d and 61e.
　回転筒３２１は、例えば、樹脂等を材質として構成され、筒状に形成される。回転筒３２１は、筒本体３１２の上部に回転自在に取り付けられる。回転筒３２１は、筒本体３１２との摩擦を抑える低摩擦構造を有する。例えば、回転筒３２１は、低摩擦構造として、係止部Ｋａに係止されるように、下部に、係止部Ｋａと係合する内向フランジ状の係止部Ｋｂを有し、胴体が筒本体３１２の外径よりも大きな内径を有する。回転筒３２１は、流体管路３２２、吐出口３２３を有する。 The rotating cylinder 321 is made of, for example, resin or the like and is formed in a cylindrical shape. The rotating cylinder 321 is rotatably attached to the upper part of the cylinder main body 312. The rotating cylinder 321 has a low friction structure that suppresses friction with the cylinder main body 312.

In the example of FIGS. 10 and 11, three discharge ports 323 are provided on the outer peripheral portions on both sides in the radial direction of the rotary cylinder 321 so as to face in the counterclockwise direction. The discharge port 323 discharges the fluid supplied from the fluid feeding section S via the fluid conduits 313 and 322 so that the rotary cylinder 321 rotates around the axis by the reaction force of the fluid discharge.
　回転仕切り壁３３１は、回転筒３２１の外周部に取り付けられ、板状に形成される。回転仕切り壁３３１は、内視鏡付属品用ケース６１の内側の収容部を収容部６１ｄ、６１ｅに仕切る。図１０及び図１１の例は、図示しない回転仕切り壁３３１を挟み、一方に収容部６１ｄが配置され、他方に収容部６１ｅが配置される。回転仕切り壁３３１は、回転筒３２１から回転力が伝達される。図１０及び図１１の例では、回転仕切り壁３３１は、回転筒３２１の径方向の両側の外周部から突出するように設けられる。回転仕切り壁３３１の縁部は、ケース本体６３の内壁及び蓋３４１に沿うように形成される。 The rotating partition wall 331 is attached to the outer periphery of the rotating cylinder 321 and is formed in a plate shape. The rotation partition wall 331 partitions the accommodating portion inside the endoscope accessory case 61 into accommodating portions 61d and 61e. In the example of FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, an accommodation portion 61 d is arranged on one side and an accommodation portion 61 e is arranged on the other side with a rotation partition wall 331 (not shown) interposed therebetween. The rotary partition wall 331 receives the rotational force from the rotary cylinder 321. In the example of FIGS. 10 and 11, the rotary partition wall 331 is provided so as to protrude from the outer peripheral portions on both sides in the radial direction of the rotary cylinder 321. The edge of the rotary partition wall 331 is formed along the inner wall of the case body 63 and the lid 341.
　蓋３４１は、ケース本体６３の上部に着脱可能に取り付けられる。蓋３４１は、板状に形成され、下面中央に回転筒３２１の他方の端部が取り付けられる。図１０及び図１１の例では、蓋３４１は、円形板状に形成され、下面中央に、回転筒３２１に内嵌めする凸部３４２を有する。凸部３４２は、回転筒３２１の回転力を蓋３４１に伝達するが、回転力が伝達しないように、回転筒３２１に遊嵌するように構成しても構わない。蓋３４１が回転筒３２１から取り外されると、収容部６１ｄ、６１ｅは、外部に露出する。 The lid 341 is detachably attached to the upper part of the case body 63.

In the example of FIGS. 10 and 11, the lid 341 is formed in a circular plate shape, and has a convex portion 342 that fits in the rotary cylinder 321 at the center of the lower surface. The convex portion 342 transmits the rotational force of the rotating cylinder 321 to the lid 341, but may be configured to be loosely fitted to the rotating cylinder 321 so that the rotating force is not transmitted. When the lid 341 is removed from the rotating cylinder 321, the housing portions 61 d and 61 e are exposed to the outside.
　再生処理を開始する際、ユーザは、２つの内視鏡Ｅの各々から付属品Ａ１、Ａ２を取り外し、一方の内視鏡Ｅの付属品Ａ１を収容部６１ｄに収容し、他方の内視鏡Ｅの付属品Ａ２を収容部６１ｅに収容する。付属品Ａ１、Ａ２が取り外された２つの内視鏡Ｅは、処理槽２４に収容される。 When starting the reproduction process, the user removes the accessories A1 and A2 from each of the two endoscopes E, accommodates the accessory A1 of one endoscope E in the accommodating portion 61d, and the other endoscope. The accessory A2 of E is accommodated in the accommodating part 61e. The two endoscopes E from which the accessories A1 and A2 are removed are accommodated in the processing tank 24.
　再生処理が開始され、噴出口Ｂｃ２が液体を噴出すると、液体は、流体収束部３１４を介して流体管路３１３、３２２に流入する。流体管路３２２に流入した液体は、吐出口３２３から吐出する。吐出口３２３が液体を吐出すると、吐出した液体の反力により、回転筒３２１及び回転仕切り壁３３１は、回転筒３２１の軸周りに回転する。回転仕切り壁３３１は、回転によって収容部６１ｄ、６１ｅに収容された付属品Ａを攪拌する。 When the regeneration process is started and the ejection port Bc2 ejects liquid, the liquid flows into the fluid conduits 313 and 322 via the fluid converging unit 314. The liquid that has flowed into the fluid conduit 322 is discharged from the discharge port 323. When the discharge port 323 discharges the liquid, the rotating cylinder 321 and the rotating partition wall 331 rotate around the axis of the rotating cylinder 321 by the reaction force of the discharged liquid. The rotating partition wall 331 stirs the accessory A accommodated in the accommodating parts 61d and 61e by rotation.
　再生処理終了後、ユーザは、２つの内視鏡Ｅを処理槽２４から取り出し、付属品Ａ１を収容部６１ｄから取り出し、また、付属品Ａ２を収容部６１ｅから取り出す。ユーザは、次回の使用に備え、一方の内視鏡Ｅと付属品Ａ１を対応付けて保管し、また、他方の内視鏡Ｅと付属品Ａ２を対応付けて保管する。 After the reproduction process is completed, the user takes out the two endoscopes E from the processing tank 24, takes out the accessory A1 from the housing 61d, and takes out the accessory A2 from the housing 61e. In preparation for the next use, the user stores one endoscope E and the accessory A1 in association with each other, and stores the other endoscope E and the accessory A2 in association with each other.
　すなわち、筒本体３１２と回転筒３２１は、流体の供給中に吐出口３２３の吐出方向を変動させる変動部を構成する。より具体的には、変動部は、収容部６１ｄ、６１ｅの下部から立ち上がるように設けられた保持筒３１１と、保持筒３１１に回転自在に保持され、周方向へ向いた吐出口３２３を有する回転筒３２１とを有する。 That is, the cylinder main body 312 and the rotating cylinder 321 constitute a variable unit that changes the discharge direction of the discharge port 323 during the supply of fluid. More specifically, the variable portion is a rotation having a holding cylinder 311 provided so as to rise from the lower part of the accommodating portions 61d and 61e, and a discharge port 323 that is rotatably held by the holding cylinder 311 and faces in the circumferential direction. A cylinder 321.
　また、流体収束部３１４及び流体管路３１３、３２２は、流体供給源と吐出口３２３とをつなぐ接続管路を構成する。より具体的には、接続管路は、保持筒３１１と回転筒３２１の内側に設けられる。 In addition, the fluid converging unit 314 and the fluid pipes 313 and 322 constitute a connection pipe that connects the fluid supply source and the discharge port 323. More specifically, the connection pipe line is provided inside the holding cylinder 311 and the rotating cylinder 321.
　保持筒３１１と回転筒３２１は、流体の供給中に吐出口３２３の吐出方向を変動させる変動部、および、流体供給源と吐出口３２３とをつなぐ接続管路を含む流体吐出部を構成する。流体吐出部は、回転仕切り壁３３１を有する。回転仕切り壁３３１は、回転筒３２１に取り付けられ、収容部を複数に仕切り、吐出口３２３から吐出する流体の反力によって回転筒３２１とともに回転筒３２１の軸周りに回転する。 The holding cylinder 311 and the rotating cylinder 321 constitute a fluid discharge section including a variable section that changes the discharge direction of the discharge port 323 during supply of the fluid, and a connection pipe that connects the fluid supply source and the discharge port 323. The fluid discharge unit has a rotating partition wall 331. The rotating partition wall 331 is attached to the rotating cylinder 321, partitions the housing portion into a plurality, and rotates around the axis of the rotating cylinder 321 together with the rotating cylinder 321 by the reaction force of the fluid discharged from the discharge port 323.
　これにより、内視鏡付属品用ケース６１では、流体の吐出を吐出口３２３に集中させ、かつ吐出した流体の反力によって回転して複数方向へ流体を吐出する。 Thereby, in the endoscope accessory case 61, the discharge of the fluid is concentrated at the discharge port 323 and rotated by the reaction force of the discharged fluid to discharge the fluid in a plurality of directions.
