Publication number: 20160256045Abstract: When an opening/closing detecting portion detects that a cover closed, a control portion outputs a signal to an electromagnetic locking switch of a locking mechanism to suppress opening and closing so that the cover enters a state in which the cover cannot be opened by an ordinary operation of a handle or a depression operation of an operation pedal. After that, when an operator operates an operation panel to input start of a process of cleaning, disinfection, etc., the control portion causes a cleaning/disinfecting portion to function and predeterminedly execute the inputted process. Then, when completion of the process of cleaning, disinfection, etc., is detected by a cleaning/disinfection detecting portion, the control portion releases the suppression of opening and closing of the cover by the locking mechanism and displays the completion of the process of cleaning, disinfection, etc., on the operation panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2016Publication date: September 8, 2016Inventor: Naoya TAYA

Patent number: 8366834Abstract: An endoscope cleaning/disinfecting apparatus according to the present invention includes a chemical bottle, an insertion portion, a chemical receiving portion, a blade portion, a first limit switch and a second limit switch. When the chemical bottle is moved to a first position, the first limit switch changes from off to on to detect the first position, when the chemical bottle is inserted to a second position at which an inner face of the chemical receiving portion and a spout portion are aligned to each other, the second limit switch changes from off to on to detect the second position, and when the chemical bottle is inserted to a third position at which a stopper portion is opened, the first limit switch is released by a stepped portion from pressing by the chemical bottle, and thereby changes from on to off to detect the third position.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2011Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Olympus Medical Systems Corp.Inventors: Takaaki Komiya, Hideto Onishi, Naoya Taya
