摘要:
The present invention has an object to provide an electric bending endoscope apparatus with a configuration which is always capable of securing favorable operability at a time of using an endoscope without placing a weight burden on an operator when operating the endoscope, and for the purpose, the electric bending endoscope apparatus includes at least an electric bending endoscope that is configured by an elongated insertion portion which is inserted into a body cavity, a bending drive section which electrically drives a part of the insertion portion to bend, and an operation portion configured to be separate from the bending drive section and electrically connected to the bending drive section, and performs observation and treatment of an inside of the body cavity, a system controller which is electrically connected to the electric bending endoscope and centrally controls the electric bending endoscope, and an endoscope holding device configured by a bending drive unit which contains the bending drive section and holds a part of the electric bending endoscope, and an arm portion which is connected to the bending drive unit and holds the bending drive unit, and is configured such that by the bending drive unit being attachably and detachably connected to a proximal end side of the insertion portion, the electric bending endoscope and the bending drive section are electrically connected.

An elongated built-in component formed with a hollow resin tube is passed through a flexible tube that is an integral part of a soft insertion member of an endoscope. Assuming that a critical radius of curvature the flexible tube exhibits after completion of sterilization with high-temperature high-pressure steam is Rj, and a critical radius of curvature the elongated built-in component exhibits after completion of the sterilization is Rn, the condition of Rj≧Rn is met. Unless the flexible tube is bent to exhibit so small a radius of curvature as to cause the flexible tube to buckle, the built-in component will not buckle.

Tow forces can be measured only by providing one force sensor in a device structure, and a drive system is driven so as to assist an external force by detecting it. A value at a force sensor (114) at the moment when a foot switch (121) is set as the original point (detection reference) of a force to be assisted. Variations of the force after the original point setting is measured by the force sensor (114) the difference between the measured value and the assist original point is obtained, and a force to be assisted is detected. Depending on the magnitude of the force to be assisted, assist operation is performed by causing a drive force to act on a foot such that the force to be assisted is reduced. When the force is assisted reaches zero, the assist operation is completed. Then, two forces, or “a force acting on a patient's foot” and “a force applied to the foot” from the outside, are detected by the one force sensor (114).

An endoscope suitable for autoclaving in accordance with the present invention has a barrier that separates an interior from an exterior. When the barrier is located at a predetermined position, consideration is taken into a displacement of the barrier between the position of the barrier observed before start of autoclaving and the position thereof observed after completion of the autoclaving during which predetermined pressure is applied and a thermal load is imposed.
