[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cart for an endoscope system on which various electric devices used in combination with an endoscope are mounted.
[0002]
[Prior art]
When using an electronic endoscope, a light source device and a video processor are necessarily required, and they are usually integrated, but in addition, an electronic still video device, a photographing device, a color video device, and the like. An electric device such as a recorder (VCR) is used in combination.
[0003]
Therefore, in general, such devices are placed on each shelf of a cart in which shelves are arranged in a multi-stage manner, so that the efficiency of arrangement space and the transportability are secured.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The above-described electric devices have connection terminals such as a connection terminal for a control signal and a connection terminal for a video signal, and they need to be correctly wired and connected in order to be used as a system of an electronic endoscope. .
[0005]
However, since the number of such connection terminals is extremely large, connecting each of the connection terminals one by one with a signal cable is not only complicated and time-consuming, but also requires a person who is familiar with the connection method. It is extremely difficult to wire everything correctly.
[0006]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an endoscope system cart in which wiring connection between electric devices used in combination with an electronic endoscope is easy.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, a cart for an endoscope system of the present invention is provided with a shelf on which an electric device used in combination with an endoscope is slidably mounted forward and the shelf is positioned at a predetermined position. A wiring connection terminal that is connected to an electric device mounted on the shelf by being pushed into the shelf.
[0008]
In addition, it is preferable that a plurality of the above-mentioned shelf boards are provided, and that the electric devices mounted on different shelf boards are connected via the wiring connection terminal.
Further, the electric device mounted on the shelf board may be connected to the wiring connection terminal via an adapter-like connector.
[0009]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are a front perspective view and a rear perspective view of the cart 10 in which various electric devices used in combination with the electronic endoscope are mounted.
[0010]
The cart 10 is formed in a cubic shape with only the front surface open, and has four levels of shelf boards 15 between the side panels 11 and 12 fixedly provided on the left and right sides and the top board 13 and the floor board 14. To 18 are arranged. The rear surface is closed by a rear panel 19, and wheels 20 are attached to the four lower corners so that the rear surface is movable.
[0011]
A television monitor 51 for displaying an endoscope observation image is mounted on the top plate 13, and a video light source device also serving as a light source device to which an electronic endoscope is directly connected is mounted on the top shelf 15. A processor 52 is mounted.
[0012]
On the lower stage, an electric device for recording an endoscopic observation image is mounted. The electronic still video device 53 is provided on the second shelf 16 from the top, and the electronic device 53 is provided on the third shelf 17 from the top. A photographing device 54 is mounted, and a color video tape recorder 55 is mounted on the lowest shelf 18 on the floor plate 14.
[0013]
Each of the shelves 15 to 18 can be independently pulled out forward independently, and FIG. 2 shows a state in which only the uppermost shelf 15 is drawn out. Handles 21 are attached to the front surfaces of the respective shelves 15 to 18.
[0014]
FIG. 4 shows the cart 10 in an exploded manner. The inner surfaces of the left and right side panels 11 and 12 have inverted trapezoidal cross sections as shown in FIG. The rail 23 is fixed by, for example, screws.
[0015]
On the other hand, rail receiving grooves 24 are formed on both left and right side surfaces of each of the shelves 15 to 18 so as to engage with the rails 23 so as not to be tight, as shown in an enlarged cross section in FIG. Therefore, by engaging the rail 23 with the rail receiving groove 24, each of the shelves 15 to 18 can be freely drawn forward.
[0016]
As shown in FIG. 3, on the top surface of the top plate 13, a connection terminal 36 provided on the back surface of the television monitor 51 and a power supply plug 37 are connected via a connection cord (not shown). , A wiring connection terminal 38 and a power outlet 39 are provided.
[0017]
As shown in FIG. 4, a resilient rubber cushion 25 is attached to the back of the rail 23, and when the shelves 15 to 18 are pushed in, The side end hits the cushion 25 so that the shock is relieved. Further, a click is provided for lightly fixing the shelves 15 to 18 at positions (predetermined positions) where they hit the cushion 25, but illustration thereof is omitted.
[0018]
On the inner surface of the back panel 19, a number of wiring connection terminals 31 to 34 are arranged in alignment with a number of connection terminals provided on the back of each of the electric devices 52 to 55 mounted on the shelf boards 15 to 18. I have. Reference numerals 27 to 30 denote boards on which the wiring connection terminals 31 to 34 are attached. As shown in FIG. 1, the wiring connection terminals 31 to 34 are connected to each other by connection wiring 35.
[0019]
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the light source device / video processor 52 is placed at a predetermined position on the shelf 15 with the uppermost shelf 15 pulled out toward the user, and the shelf 15 is moved to a predetermined position at the back. When pushed into (the position where the click is fixed), all of the connection terminals 62 provided on the rear surface of the light source device / video processor 52 are correctly connected to the wiring connection terminals 31 on the inner surface of the rear panel 19.
[0020]
Further, the electronic still video device 53 is placed at a predetermined position in a state where the second shelf 16 is pulled out from the top, and the shelf 16 is pushed into the predetermined position. The connected connection terminal 63 is correctly connected to the wiring connection terminal 32 on the inner surface of the rear panel 19. The same applies to the third shelf 17 and the fourth shelf 18 from the top.
[0021]
Each of the shelves 15 to 18 is formed with a recess 40 in which the foot of each of the electric devices 52 to 55 fits exactly so that the electric devices 52 to 55 placed thereon are correctly set at predetermined positions. ing.
[0022]
In this manner, according to the present invention, the wiring connection to the electric devices 52 to 55 mounted thereon is performed only by pushing the shelf boards 15 to 18 inward, and the wiring between the electric devices 52 to 55 is performed. Connection completes without error.
[0023]
FIG. 7 shows a configuration in which connectors 72, 41 and 73, 42 in which a large number of connection terminals are collectively formed are arranged at a connection portion between each of the electric devices 52 to 55 and the inner surface portion of the back panel 19. Is the same as in the above embodiment.
[0024]
In this case, a connector 72 may be provided separately from the individual connection terminals (BNC terminals) 62 as in the light source device and video processor 52 shown in FIG. 7, or a connection terminal as in the electronic still video device 53. The connector 73 may be attached to the (BNC terminal) 63 in an adapter shape.
[0025]
