Abstract

On a shelf plate constituting a placement portion, the instrument for an endoscope is placed. An ultraviolet ray source portion irradiates the instrument for an endoscope with ultraviolet rays. A handle portion is provided with an ultraviolet ray source portion and a drawer portion is provided with an ultraviolet ray source portion. A rotary panel is provided with an ultraviolet ray source portion. An ultraviolet ray source unit including an ultraviolet ray source portion is provided on a side surface of the shelf plate.

Claims (25)

1 . An endoscope cart comprising:

a placement portion on which an instrument for an endoscope is placed in a state of being exposed outside; an ultraviolet ray source portion that irradiates the instrument for an endoscope in the state of being exposed outside, with ultraviolet rays;

a top plate that is provided above the placement portion;

a drawer portion that is provided between the top plate and the placement portion and that includes a sliding plate movable between a storage position and a pull-out position to which the sliding plate is pulled out from the storage position; and

a rotary panel that is attached to the sliding plate to be rotatable between a closing position and an opening position,

wherein the ultraviolet ray source portion is provided on the rotary panel.

2 . The endoscope cart according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a handle portion provided at a front portion of the top plate.

3 . The endoscope cart according to claim 1 ,

wherein the ultraviolet ray source portion is provided on the rotary panel attached to the sliding plate.

4 . The endoscope cart according to claim 1 ,

wherein the instrument for an endoscope is irradiated with the ultraviolet rays from at least one of an upper side or an obliquely upper side.

5 . The endoscope cart according to claim 1 , wherein the ultraviolet ray source unit further comprising:

a light source housing that is provided with the ultraviolet ray source portion; and

a light source holding portion that holds the light source housing, that is movable in a first direction, and that is rotatable toward a second direction orthogonal to the first direction.

6 . The endoscope cart according to claim 1 ,

wherein the ultraviolet ray source portion includes an ultraviolet ray source that emits the ultraviolet rays and an emission portion through which the ultraviolet rays are emitted toward the instrument for an endoscope, and

the ultraviolet ray source and the emission portion face each other.

7 . The endoscope cart according to claim 1 ,

wherein the ultraviolet ray source portion includes an ultraviolet ray source that emits the ultraviolet rays, a light guide plate that guides the ultraviolet rays emitted from the ultraviolet ray source, and an emission portion through which the ultraviolet rays are emitted toward the instrument for an endoscope, and

the light guide plate and the emission portion face each other.

8 . The endoscope cart according to claim 6 ,

wherein the ultraviolet ray source is any of an excimer lamp or an LED.

9 . The endoscope cart according to claim 1 ,

wherein the instrument for an endoscope is any one or a combination of two or more of a processor device, a light source device, a water supply device, an air supply device, or a treatment tool power source.
