  • Publication number: 20160256045
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8366834
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8176771
    Abstract: An endoscope washing and disinfecting apparatus includes: a connecting portion connected to a bending transmitting portion of an endoscope to transmit driving force; a distal end driving portion for transmitting the driving force to the bending transmitting portion through the connecting portion; a fluid supplying unit for supplying gas into an inner space of the endoscope; and a control unit for controlling a pressure detecting portion for detecting pressure in the inner space and the distal end driving portion to provide the bending portion with bending motion, and for determining occurrence or nonoccurrence of water leak in the endoscope by comparing the pressure detected by the pressure detecting portion and a preset threshold.
