Medicinal solution collecting tool and endoscope cleaning/disinfecting apparatus

1. A medicinal solution collecting tool to be inserted into an introduction port of a medical solution storing section for endoscope reprocessing to collect a medicinal solution from an inside of the medicinal solution storing section, the medicinal solution collecting tool comprising:

a pillar-shaped portion comprising an insertion end and a withdrawal end, the pillar-shaped portion being configured to be inserted into the introduction port and movable in an axial direction in the introduction port;

a collecting section provided on the insertion end side of the pillar-shaped portion, the collecting section being a cavity for collecting the medicinal solution;

a collecting port which is an opening provided on a surface of the pillar-shaped portion, the collecting port communicating with the collecting section; and

a guide section provided on the surface of the pillar-shaped portion, the guide section being configured to engage with the medical solution storing section and restrict the pillar-shaped portion inserted into the introduction port from rotating around an axis of the pillar shaped portion;

wherein the guide section comprises:

a first guide section that is convex or concave and parallel to an axial direction of the pillar-shaped portion, the first guide section being configured to engage with the medical solution storing section and restrict the pillar-shaped portion from rotating around the axis of the pillar-shaped portion such that the collecting port opens upward in a state where the pillar-shaped portion is inserted in the introduction port by a section from the insertion end to a position at a predetermined length toward the withdrawal end; and

a second guide section provided on the withdrawal end side relative to the first guide section on the surface of the pillar-shaped portion, the second guide section being convex or concave and crossing the axial direction of the pillar-shaped portion, the second guide section being configured to engage with the medical solution storing section and cause the pillar-shaped portion to rotate around the axis of the pillar-shaped portion such that the collecting port is oriented downward as the pillar-shaped portion moves from the position toward the insertion end side in the axial direction in a state where a section of the pillar-shaped portion on the withdrawal end side relative to the position is inserted into the introduction port.

2. The medicinal solution collecting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the first guide section and the second guide section are concave.

3. The medicinal solution collecting tool according to claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the pillar-shaped portion where the first guide section and the second guide section are formed is cylinder-shaped.

4. An endoscope cleaning/disinfecting apparatus comprising:

the medicinal solution collecting tool according to claim 1 ; and

a medicinal solution storing section storing the medicinal solution, the medicinal solution storing section comprising an introduction port for introducing the medicinal solution collecting tool.
