At first, as shown in Figure 2, the operator opens the top cover 3 of apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40, and will be arranged in the sink 2 of apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40 as the insertion section 1 of the 1A of endoscope that is washed the sterilization thing.In addition, various endoscope channels 69 run through and are inserted in and operating portion 37 that insertion section 1 breaks away from and the inside of general cable 1c, perhaps parallel in their outside, at described various endoscope channels 69 is under the situation of disposable type, from operating portion 37 and general cable 1c, it is extracted or takes off, the waste treatment of being scheduled to then.In addition, according to the degree of polluting, the cleaning and disinfecting that the operating portion 37 after various endoscope channels 69 are extracted and general cable 1c were carried out about 1～2 time in a day.

At this moment, the operator is arranged on the first insertion section 1a of insertion section 1 on first holding member 4 in the sink 2, and makes the front end face of the cardinal extremity face of the first insertion section 1a towards pipe joint portion 22.In addition, the operator is arranged on the first insertion section 1a on first holding member 4, and the dog hole 52 of the connecting portion 22a of the hook 51 of the first insertion section 1a and pipe joint portion 22 is positioned on the straight line on the longitudinally of pipe joint portion 22.

Then, the operator is provided with the second insertion section 1b of insertion section 1 when selecting a plurality of second holding members 5 arbitrarily.When being arranged on this second insertion section 1b on second holding member 5, preferred operations person is arranged to the bending of the second insertion section 1b along level and smooth curve.

The detecting sensor of first holding member 4 here is an optical pickocff, discerns and detects the first insertion section 1a of insertion section 1 and be set to towards predetermined direction, supplies with detection signals to control circuit 200 then.The control circuit 200 that receives this detection signal is supplied with the driving signal to driving mechanism 26, thereby the motor of driving mechanism 26 inside rotates feed gear wheel 56 (with reference to Fig. 8).

The rotation direction of this feed gear wheel 56 is the arrow A directions shown in Fig. 8.Therefore because the gear grooved 22c of the gear grooved 56a of feed gear wheel 56 and pipe joint portion engagement, so when feed gear wheel 56 when the arrow A direction is rotated, pipe joint portion 22 is to the arrow B direction, promptly the first insertion section 1a to insertion section 1 advances automatically.

As shown in Figure 9, be embedded in the base end part timesharing of the first insertion section 1a of insertion section 1 in pipe joint portion 22, the face butt that the leading section of connecting portion 22a forms with the claw 51a of hook 51 is carried out chamfering, thus the claw 51a of hook 51 promoted upward along the paper of Fig. 9.And then to the advancing of insertion section 1 side, the claw 51a of hook 51 is embedded in the dog hole of connecting portion 22a by pipe joint portion 22.As shown in figure 10, this pipe joint portion 22 advances till the front end of pipeline Washing spray nozzle 54 is inserted into the position of running through in three endoscope channels 59 that are inserted in the insertion section 1 respectively to insertion section 1 side.

On the position of the pipe joint portion 22 shown in Figure 10, protuberance 22b location also is fixed on the cardinal extremity surface of pipe joint portion 22, so that pick off 57 can detect the protuberance 22b of pipe joint portion 22.That is, pipe joint portion 22 1 position that advances to the end face butt of the front end of the connecting portion 22a among Figure 10 and the first insertion section 1a stops then towards the insertion section under the control of control circuit 200.

In addition, as shown in figure 10, the O-ring seals 60 by making the fore-end of being located at pipeline Washing spray nozzle 54 and the peristome butt of endoscope channel 59, pipeline Washing spray nozzle 54 and endoscope channel 59 keep watertightness ground to be communicated with each other.

Then, the operator's detergent that will be scheduled to liquid measure injects in the groove of sink 2 and it is not directly contacted with insertion section 1.

The operator closes top cover 3 then, presses the firing switch on the guidance panel 41 shown in Fig. 2, that be positioned at apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40, thus the washing procedure of beginning apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40.

Describe the washing procedure of apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40 below in detail.

When pressing the firing switch of guidance panel 41, the washing procedure of the insertion section 1 of the apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40 beginning 1A of endoscope.At first, open the feed water valve 17 of apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40, make diluted fluid, by being located at feed water filter 10 and the check-valves 11 on the water system pipeline 15 from faucet 16 as watering, and supply with in the groove of sink 2 from nozzle 18, the diluted fluid here is a tap water.

A level detection portion of the level detection sensor 6 on the wall of the water surface of tap water and sink 2 that continue to supply water contacts.When tap water contacts with the first level detection portion of level detection sensor 6, supply with detection signal to control circuit 200 from level detection sensor 6.The control circuit 200 that has been provided this detection signal washs in electromagnetic opening and closing valve 25 and pipeline with pump 21 supplies with the driving signal, thereby opens the valve of electromagnetic opening and closing valve 25 inside, and driving pipeline wash-in is washed with pump 21.At this moment, continue in sink 2, to supply with tap water from nozzle 18.

Therefore, hold detergent and the blended cleaning mixture of tap water stayed in the sink 2, from circulation fluid pump orifice 20 by with pipeline that the circulation fluid cleaning and disinfecting is communicated with pipeline 9 in washing with pipeline 19, by washing in the pipeline with pump 21 suctions.

Washing is fed through the cleaning mixture that is drawn into check-valves 36 sides of washing in the pipeline with pipeline 19 with pump 21 in the pipeline.This cleaning mixture of sending into by washing in the pipeline with pipeline 19, and by check-valves 36, be fed through with pipeline in washing with the fork pipelines 27 that pipeline 19 is communicated with, arrive electromagnetic opening and closing valve 25 then.Here, by the check-valves 29 of air supply pipe road 30 sides, the cleaning mixture in the fork pipelines 27 can not flow in the air supply pipe road 30.

Because the valve of electromagnetic opening and closing valve 25 is opened, so cleaning mixture is by in 27 minutes to three pipelines of fork pipelines.Then, cleaning mixture by the liquid pushing tube 58 of electromagnetic opening and closing valve 24a～24c and pipe joint portion 22, promptly sprays with the internal feed of predetermined amount of flow to the endoscope channel 59 of the operating portion 37 of insertion section 1 from pipeline Washing spray nozzle 54 respectively.

When above-mentioned apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40 continues action, when the liquid level that offers the cleaning mixture of sink 2 simultaneously contacted with the second level detection portion of level detection sensor 6, level switch 6 was to control circuit 200 supply detection signals.The control circuit 200 that is provided this detection signal is supplied with the driving signal to feed water valve 17, so that the valve of feed water valve 17 cuts out.

Therefore, the valve of the inside by cutting out feed water valve 17 stops to supply with tap water from faucet 16 from nozzle 18 in sink 2.In addition, the second level detection portion of level detection sensor 6 becomes fully submerged in insertion section 1 apart from the height setting of the bottom surface of sink 2.That is, the insertion section 1 that is arranged in the sink 2 fully is immersed in the cleaning mixture.

Pass through control circuit 200 then and supply with the driving signals with pump 8, thereby drive circulation fluid cleaning and disinfecting pump 8 to the circulation fluid cleaning and disinfecting.At this moment, continuing to drive the pipeline wash-in washs with pump 21.Then, the cleaning mixture in the sink 2 sprays in sink 2 by two paths from circulation fluid pump orifice 20.That is, two paths are meant the above-mentioned first circulation fluid path and the second circulation fluid path.

In the first circulation fluid path circulation cleaning mixture mainly wash insertion section 1 the first insertion section 1a end face and run through endoscope channel 59 inside that are inserted in 1 inside, insertion section.In addition, the circulation cleaning mixture washs the outer surface of insertion section 1 by circulation fluid ejiction opening 7 in the second circulation fluid path.

The washing procedure of apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40 continues the scheduled time, and in this washing procedure, pipe joint portion 22 carries out round advancing at least with respect to insertion section 1 and moves or retreat mobile.In detail, in the washing procedure of apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40, pipe joint portion 22 is in position shown in Figure 10, it is the position in the endoscope channel 59 of the fore-end of the pipeline Washing spray nozzle 54 of the connecting portion 22a first insertion section 1a that is inserted in insertion section 1, with position shown in Figure 9, the pipeline Washing spray nozzle 54 that is connecting portion 22a leaves between the position of endoscope channel 59, carries out at least once coming and going moving.

Because interior at the fixed time the supply at least to the motor of driving mechanism 26 of control circuit 200 once drives signal, the feed gear wheel 56 shown in Fig. 8 rotates in the opposite direction to the arrow A direction with arrow A side.Therefore, pipe joint portion 22 marches forward and retreats both direction with respect to insertion section 1 and moves.

The displacement of this both direction for example is about 2mm, and corresponding to this displacement, the interval between two protuberances of the base end side of pipe joint portion 22 also is positioned as the interval of 2mm.The action of the both direction of this pipe joint portion 22 is carried out in the washing procedure implementation of the insertion section 1 of the 1A of endoscope.

In addition, the dog hole 52 of connecting portion 22a has such length in the hole of longitudinally length: than the length of claw 51a on the longitudinally of the hook 51 of embedded insertion section 1, be that the length of embedded part goes out more than the 2mm greatly.

In addition, on the position of the pipe joint portion 22 shown in Fig. 9, be insertion section 1 endoscope channel 59 (under the isolating state of fore-end of 59a～59c) and the connecting portion 22a of pipe joint portion 22, be divided into to the flow of liquor of the end face ejection of the first insertion section 1a of insertion section 1: the endoscope channel 59 by insertion section 1 (59a～59c) and from the front end of the second insertion section 1b to sink 2 effusive streams and from the aperture 53 of connecting portion 22a to sink 2 effusive streams.

On the position of the pipe joint portion 22 shown in Figure 10, (the opening butt of 59a～59c), the front end from the second insertion section 1b flows out to sink 2 so flow of liquor is by the endoscope channel 59 of insertion section 1 because the O-ring seals 60 of the pipeline Washing spray nozzle 54 of connecting portion 22a and the endoscope channel 59 of insertion section 1.

Therefore, by pipe joint portion 22 moving on the both direction that advances with respect to insertion section 1 or retreat, the circulation cleaning mixture mainly washs and runs through the endoscope channel 59 that is inserted in 1 inside, insertion section (59a～59c) and the end face side of the first insertion section 1a of insertion section 1 in first path.

In addition, during the predetermined action of apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40, the flow transducer test constantly of electromagnetic opening and closing valve 24a～24c is by the flow of the cleaning mixture of the inside of electromagnetic opening and closing valve 24a～24c.Under the situation of cleaning mixture that has below the predetermined amount of flow by the inside of electromagnetic opening and closing valve 24a～24c, flow transducer is supplied with caution signals to control circuit 200, control circuit 200 is warned demonstration on guidance panel 41 then, and supplies with index signal such as the sound that gives a warning to not shown buzzer.

When this caution signals of control circuit 200 sustainable supplies reaches the scheduled time, control circuit 200 is supplied with stop signal to the various device of apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40, drives thereby stop each.

When having passed through predetermined washing procedure during the time, control circuit 200 washing in the circulation fluid cleaning and disinfecting that is driving is used pump 8 and pipeline is supplied with stop signals with pump 21.Thereby, stop to drive the circulation fluid cleaning and disinfecting with washing with pump 21 in pump 8 and the pipeline.

Then, control circuit 200 is supplied with the driving signal to transfer valve 13 and draining pump 28.Be provided the transfer valve 13 that drives signal and opened inner valve, thereby sink 2 and drainage pipeline 35 are communicated with in drainage pipeline 35 sides.

When this transfer valve 13 moves, begin to drive draining pump 28 by driving signal, thereby the cleaning mixture in the sink 2 is sent into scupper hose 42 from the drainage pipeline 35 of sink 2 sides from control circuit 200.

Therefore, hold the outside that the cleaning mixture of staying in the sink 2 is discharged to apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40.In addition, when lasting driving draining pump 28 reached preset time for cleaning mixture is fully discharged, control circuit 200 was supplied with stop signals to draining pump 28, and supplies with the driving signals to transfer valve 13.

Like this, stop to drive draining pump 28, transfer valve 13 cuts out inner valve.

When the washing procedure of the apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40 of above explanation finishes, the flushing operation that next begins to wash insertion section 1.

The flushing operation of apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40 below is described, but, only carries out briefly bright for move identical with washing procedure.

At first, to the driving signal of feed water valve 17 supply control circuits 200, feed water valve 17 is opened inner valve, supplies with tap water by nozzle 18 from faucet 16 in the groove of sink 2.The same with washing procedure, when tap water contacts with the first level detection portion of level detection sensor 6, open the valve of electromagnetic opening and closing valve 25 inside, and driving pipeline wash-in is washed with pump 21.At this moment, continue in sink 2, to supply with tap water from nozzle 18.

Because the valve of electromagnetic opening and closing valve 25 is opened, thus 27 minutes to three pipelines of fork pipelines passed through as the flushing water of tap water, and spray from the end face of pipeline Washing spray nozzle 54 to the first insertion section 1a of insertion section 1 with predetermined amount of flow.

When above-mentioned apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40 continues action, when the liquid level of tap water contacts with the second level detection portion of level detection sensor 6 simultaneously, stops to supply water in sink 2 from nozzle 18.At this moment, the insertion section 1 that is arranged in the sink 2 fully is immersed in the flushing water.

Drive circulation fluid cleaning and disinfecting pump 8 then, and continue to drive the pipeline wash-in and wash with pump 21, the flushing waters in the sink 2 circulate the first circulation fluid path and the second circulation fluid path from circulation fluid pump orifice 20.

In the first circulation fluid path circulation flushing water mainly wash insertion section 1 the first insertion section 1a end face and run through the various pipelines that are inserted in 1 inside, insertion section, the circulation flushing water washes the outer surface of insertion section 1 by circulation fluid ejiction opening 7 in the second circulation fluid path.

The flushing operation of apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40 continues the scheduled time, and in the implementation of this flushing operation, pipe joint portion 22 carries out round advancing at least with respect to insertion section 1 and moves or retreat mobile.

In addition, on the position of the pipe joint portion 22 shown in Fig. 9, be insertion section 1 endoscope channel 59 (under the state that the fore-end of 59a～59c) and the connecting portion 22a of pipe joint portion 22 leaves, be to the flushing water flow point of the end face ejection of the first insertion section 1a: the endoscope channel 59 by insertion section 1 (59a～59c) and from the front end of the second insertion section 1b to sink 2 effusive streams and from the aperture 53 of connecting portion 22a to sink 2 effusive streams.

On the position of the pipe joint portion 22 shown in Figure 10, (the opening butt of 59a～59c) is so (59a～59c) front end from the second insertion section 1b flows out to sink 2 endoscope channel 59 of flushing water stream by insertion section 1 because the O-ring seals 60 of the pipeline Washing spray nozzle 54 of connecting portion 22a and the endoscope channel 59 of insertion section 1.

Therefore, by pipe joint portion 22 moving on the both direction that advances with respect to insertion section 1 or retreat, the circulation flushing water mainly washes and runs through the endoscope channel 59 that is inserted in 1 inside, insertion section (59a～59c) and the end face side of the first insertion section 1a of insertion section 1 in first path.

In addition, in flushing water cycle period in the first circulation fluid path, the flow transducer of electromagnetic opening and closing valve 24a～24c is measured the flow by the flushing water of the inside of electromagnetic opening and closing valve 24a～24c all the time.Under the situation of flushing water by the inside of electromagnetic opening and closing valve 24a～24c that has below the predetermined amount of flow, control circuit 200 is warned demonstration on guidance panel 41, and makes the indication of the sound that gives a warning to buzzer.When this warning continues the scheduled time, stop to drive the various device of apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40.

When having passed through predetermined flushing activity time, stop to drive the circulation fluid cleaning and disinfecting with washing with pump 21 in pump 8 and the pipeline.Then, transfer valve 13 is opened inner valve in drainage pipeline 35 sides, thereby sink 2 and drainage pipeline 35 are communicated with, and begins to drive draining pump 28.

Therefore, hold the outside that the flushing water of staying in the sink 2 is discharged to apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40.Through behind the preset time, stopping to drive draining pump 28 in order to wash fully discharge.

At this moment, pipe joint portion 22 is still in the position of the first insertion section 1a side that advances to insertion section 1, promptly is inserted in the endoscope channel 59 (position of the state among the 59a～59c) of insertion section 1 as the fore-end of pipeline Washing spray nozzle 54 state shown in Figure 10, connecting portion 22a.

Next control circuit 200 is supplied with to compressor 31 and is driven signal.Drive compression machine 31, thus compressed air is offered air supply pipe road 30.The check-valves 29 of this compressed air by air supply pipe road 30 advances to fork pipelines 27, and liquid pushing tube 58 and pipeline Washing spray nozzle 54 by pipe joint portion 22, the endoscope channel 59 (59a～59c) advance to insertion section 1.

In addition,, can not advance with the check-valves 36 of pipeline 19 by washing in the pipeline from the pipe interior that check-valves 36 washs with pipeline 19 in pipeline from the compressed air of compressor 31.

And then, (compressed air of 59a～59c) is in that (when the inner surplus water of 59a～59c) delivered to the front of the second insertion section 1b of insertion section 1, (the front opening of 59a～59c) was emitted from endoscope channel 59 with endoscope channel 59 to advance to endoscope channel 59.Therefore, (opening of the front of 59a～59c) flows in the groove of sink 2 surplus water of endoscope channel 59 inside, thereby has removed the endoscope channel 59 (water that 59a～59c) is inner from endoscope channel 59.

After above-mentioned flushing operation finishes, next, apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40 operation that carries out disinfection.In the explanation of the ensuing disinfecting steps of this apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40, for above-mentioned washing procedure and identical structure and the action of flushing operation, only carry out brief description.In addition, transfer valve 13 seals medicinal liquid recovery channel 23 and discharge outlet 14 by the valve of inside, finishes until above-mentioned flushing operation.

Describe the disinfecting steps of apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40 below in detail.

At first, control circuit 200 is supplied with to injection pump 34 and is driven signal, thereby holds the side that is connected with water system pipeline 15 that the disinfectant solution that stays is fed through disinfectant solution flow in pipes 33 in the casing with disinfectant solution case 32.

This disinfectant solution is fed through water system pipeline 15 by the check-valves 12 of disinfectant solution flow in pipes 33, flows in the groove of sink 2 from nozzle 18 then.At this moment, by the check-valves 11 of water system pipeline 15, disinfectant solution can not flow into feed water filter 10 sides of water system pipeline, but all sends into nozzle 18 sides.

When the insertion section 1 in being arranged on sink 2 was fully submerged in the disinfectant solution, control circuit 200 was supplied with stop signals to injection pump 34, and washing is supplied with pump 21 and driven signals in pipeline.In detail, this control circuit 200 is the time that is detected the liquid level of disinfectant solution by the second level detection portion of level detection sensor 6 to the timing that injection pump 34 is supplied with stop signal and pump 21 supply driving signals are used in washing in pipeline.

Washing is accepted to drive signal and is driven from control circuit 200 with pump 21 in the pipeline.Like this, the same with washing procedure, disinfectant solution circulates in the first circulation fluid path.

Therefore, disinfectant solution from the pipeline Washing spray nozzle 54 of pipe joint portion 22 to the (ejection in the pipeline of 59a～59c) of the endoscope channel 59 of insertion section 1.In addition, in the implementation of disinfecting steps, also supply with to driving mechanism 26 and at least once drive signal, thereby make pipe joint portion 22 carry out forward motion and the backward movement that at least one comes and goes with respect to insertion section 1 from control circuit 200.When it retreats, to the cardinal extremity face ejection disinfectant solution of the first insertion section 1a of insertion section 1.

Promptly, on the position of the pipe joint portion 22 shown in Fig. 9, be insertion section 1 endoscope channel 59 (under the isolating state of fore-end of 59a～59c) and the connecting portion 22a of pipe joint portion 22, be to the disinfectant solution flow point of the end face ejection of the first insertion section 1a of insertion section 1: the endoscope channel 59 by insertion section 1 (59a～59c) and from the front end of the second insertion section 1b to sink 2 effusive streams and from the aperture 53 of connecting portion 22a to sink 2 effusive streams.

In addition, in the disinfecting steps of apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40, also can supply with pump 8 to the circulation fluid cleaning and disinfecting and drive signal,, thereby disinfectant solution be circulated in the second circulation fluid path with driving circulation fluid cleaning and disinfecting pump 8 from control circuit 200.

Therefore, the outer surface of insertion section 1 is exposed to and holds in the disinfectant solution that stays in the groove of sink 2, by circulation disinfectant solution in the first circulation fluid path, and the first insertion section 1a and inner endoscope channel 59 (59a～59c) be sterilized.

After the process scheduled time, control circuit 200 is supplied with to transfer valve 13 and is driven signals.Received the transfer valve 13 that drives signal and opened inner valve, thereby medicinal liquid recovery channel 23 is communicated with outlet 14.That is, medicinal liquid recovery channel 23 is communicated with the groove of sink 2 is interior.Therefore, holding the disinfectant solution of staying in the sink 2 is recycled in the disinfectant solution case 32.

Like this, apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40 finishes disinfecting steps, begins above-mentioned flushing operation once more.Because the flushing operation of this apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40 is identical with above-mentioned action, so omit explanation.

In addition, as mentioned above, in the flushing operation, by from the compressed air of compressor 31 to the endoscope channel 59 that runs through the inside that is inserted in insertion section 1 (59a～59c) carry out the scheduled time dewater during, drive draining pump 28, the flushing water in the groove of sink 2 is discharged to the outside of apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40 from scupper hose 42.

In the flushing operation after the disinfecting steps of this apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40, receive stop signal from control circuit 200 and after stopping to drive, draining pump 28 continues driving in the given time at compressor 31.In the driving of draining pump 28, transfer valve 13 is opened inner valve so that communicated drainage pipeline 35 and discharge outlet 14.Its result is that the almost whole flushing waters in the sink 2 are discharged to the outside of apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40 from discharge outlet 14.

At last, apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40 be back to predetermined initial, set position by the various electromagnetic valves of control circuit 200 control etc., thereby finish the washing and the sterilization of insertion section 1.

Then, the operator opens the top cover 3 of apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40, and takes off the first insertion section 1a of insertion section 1 from the connecting portion 22a of pipe joint portion 22.

In detail, push on one side the end of hook 51 of the first insertion section 1a of insertion section 1 with thumb etc., be the pinch hand 51b of opposition side of the claw of hook 51, take off the claw 51a of the hook 51 in the dog hole 52 that is hooked on pipe joint portion 22 on one side, thereby pipe joint portion 22 is separated with the first insertion section 1a.

Further describe, when when the paper of Fig. 9 is pressed the pinch hand 51b of pressure hook 51 downwards, the claw 51a of the hook 51 of the first insertion section 1a is moved upward along the paper of Fig. 9, thereby separates with the dog hole 52 of the connecting portion 22a of pipe joint portion 22.

Then, the operator makes the first insertion section 1a of insertion section 1 break away from first holding member 4, makes the second insertion section 1b break away from second holding member 5, and insertion section 1 is taken out from the sink 2 of apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40, thereby finishes operation.

Above result is: in the apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40 of the endoscope cleaning decontamination system 300 of first embodiment, the front end of the pipeline Washing spray nozzle 54 of the connecting portion 22a of pipe joint portion 22 is inserted into automatically and runs through a plurality of endoscope channels 59 of being inserted in 1 inside, insertion section (among the 59a～59c), cleaning mixture, flushing water or disinfectant solution are from 54 ejections of pipeline Washing spray nozzle.In addition and since pipe joint portion 22 with respect to insertion section 1 at least once advance move or retreat mobile, so cleaning mixture, flushing water or disinfectant solution are from the end face ejection of pipeline Washing spray nozzle 54 to the first insertion section 1a of insertion section 1.

Therefore, the operator need not to carry out that a plurality of sluicing pipes etc. are connected to the endoscope channel 59 of insertion section 1 (operation among the 59a～59c) just can easily be arranged on insertion section 1 in the sink 2.

In addition, when at cleaning mixture, flushing water or the disinfectant solution of the inner loop of pipe joint portion 22 with the amount that is lower than predetermined amount of flow by under the situation of fork pipelines 27, by the effusion meter on the electromagnetic opening and closing valve 24a～24c that is located at fork pipelines 27, make control device 200 information that on guidance panel, gives a warning, and the sound that gives a warning internally, thereby give the operator with abnormity notifying.When these warnings continued the scheduled time, apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40 stopped various driving arrangements automatically.

Therefore, can and run through the first insertion section 1a of the insertion section 1 of the 1A of endoscope and be inserted in its inner endoscope channel 59 (59a～59c) washs and sterilization etc. reliably.

In addition, the 1A of endoscope of present embodiment can make insertion section 1 break away from operating portion 37, thereby can easily insertion section 1 be configured in the sink 2 of apparatus for washing and disinfecting endoscope 40.
