本発明は電子内視鏡装置、特に固体撮像素子等の異なる各種の電子内視鏡をプロセッサ装置で使用可能にするために、各種の電子内視鏡のコネクタを接続する複数のコネクタ受けを設けたプロセッサ装置のコネクタ受け部分の構成に関する。   The present invention provides a plurality of connector receivers for connecting various types of electronic endoscope connectors so that various types of electronic endoscopes such as solid-state image sensors can be used in a processor device. The present invention relates to a configuration of a connector receiving portion of a processor device.

電子内視鏡装置では、光照明された被観察体が電子内視鏡（スコープ）の先端部に搭載された例えば固体撮像素子であるＣＣＤ（Charge Coupled Device）で撮像され、このＣＣＤからの撮像信号をプロセッサ装置へ供給し、このプロセッサ装置にて所定の信号処理を施すことにより、消化器官等の被観察体画像がモニタに表示される。そして、この種の電子内視鏡装置では、固体撮像素子の種類や撮像方式の異なる複数の電子内視鏡がプロセッサ装置に接続できるように構成される。   In an electronic endoscope apparatus, an object to be illuminated is imaged by a CCD (Charge Coupled Device), for example, a solid-state imaging device mounted on the tip of an electronic endoscope (scope), and imaged from this CCD. By supplying a signal to the processor device and performing predetermined signal processing in the processor device, an image of an object to be observed such as a digestive organ is displayed on the monitor. This type of electronic endoscope apparatus is configured such that a plurality of electronic endoscopes having different types of solid-state imaging elements and different imaging methods can be connected to the processor apparatus.

図６には、従来の電子内視鏡装置の構成が示されており、図６（Ａ）に示されるように、例えばＡタイプの電子内視鏡１Ａは、プロセッサ装置２に対し、光学コネクタ３と角形の電気コネクタ４ａを接続する。この光学コネクタ３は、光源光を照明光として電子内視鏡１Ａ内へ供給するためのライトガイドをプロセッサ装置２へ接続し、上記電気コネクタ４ａは、電子内視鏡１Ａに搭載されたＣＣＤ等で得られた映像信号等を主に伝送する信号線をプロセッサ装置２へ接続するために設けられる。   FIG. 6 shows a configuration of a conventional electronic endoscope apparatus. As shown in FIG. 6A, for example, an A type electronic endoscope 1A is connected to the processor apparatus 2 with an optical connector. 3 and the rectangular electrical connector 4a are connected. The optical connector 3 connects a light guide for supplying light source light as illumination light into the electronic endoscope 1A to the processor device 2, and the electrical connector 4a is a CCD mounted on the electronic endoscope 1A or the like. Is provided to connect the signal line for mainly transmitting the video signal obtained in the above to the processor device 2.

また、図６（Ｂ）に示されるように、例えばＢタイプの電子内視鏡１Ｂは、プロセッサ装置２に対し、光学コネクタ３と丸（円）形の電気コネクタ５ａが接続される。一方、プロセッサ装置２では、Ａタイプ電子内視鏡１Ａの角形の電気コネクタ４ａに適合する角形のコネクタ受け４ｂと、Ｂタイプ電子内視鏡１Ｂの丸形の電気コネクタ５ａに適合する丸形のコネクタ受け５ｂが設けられる。即ち、従来例では、電子内視鏡１Ａ，１Ｂの２種類に対応して２つのコネクタ受け４ｂ，５ｂが設けられており、ＡタイプとＢタイプとで電気コネクタ４ａ，５ａの形状を変えることより、間違ったコネクタ接続をなくしながら、各タイプの電子内視鏡１Ａ，１Ｂに適合した映像処理等が実行できるようにしている。
特開平９−３０８６０６号公報 特開２００４−２３６７３８号公報 As shown in FIG. 6B, for example, in the B type electronic endoscope 1B, the optical connector 3 and the round (circular) electrical connector 5a are connected to the processor device 2. On the other hand, in the processor device 2, a rectangular connector receptacle 4b that fits the square electrical connector 4a of the A type electronic endoscope 1A and a round shape that fits the round electrical connector 5a of the B type electronic endoscope 1B. A connector receiver 5b is provided. That is, in the conventional example, two connector receivers 4b and 5b are provided corresponding to the two types of electronic endoscopes 1A and 1B, and the shape of the electrical connectors 4a and 5a is changed between the A type and the B type. Thus, video processing or the like suitable for each type of electronic endoscope 1A, 1B can be executed while eliminating erroneous connector connections.
JP-A-9-308606 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-236738

しかしながら、従来の電子内視鏡装置では、上記特許文献１でも指摘されているように、電子内視鏡１Ａ，１Ｂの両方がプロセッサ装置２にコネクタ接続されると、映像信号の混在により映像が乱れるという不都合があり、また図６（Ａ），（Ｂ）のように、コネクタ受け４ｂ，５ｂの一方に接続しているとき、他方が露出状態となっていると、装置使用時に水分等がコネクタ受け４ｂ，５ｂの内部へ浸入し、電気的な安全性が低下すると共に、プロセッサ装置２内の回路動作にも不具合が生じる場合がある。   However, in the conventional electronic endoscope apparatus, as pointed out in Patent Document 1, when both of the electronic endoscopes 1A and 1B are connected to the processor device 2, the video is mixed due to the mixture of video signals. When connected to one of the connector receivers 4b and 5b as shown in FIGS. 6 (A) and 6 (B), if the other is exposed as shown in FIGS. Intrusion into the connector receivers 4b and 5b may reduce electrical safety and may cause problems in circuit operation in the processor device 2.

そこで、従来では、上記特許文献１のように、コネクタ接続規制手段を設ける方法や、上記コネクタ受け４ｂ，５ｂに着脱自在のキャップを取り付ける方法が採用されている。しかし、このキャップを取り付ける方法では、キャップの付け忘れが起こると共に、キャップを紛失したりする等の問題がある。   Therefore, conventionally, a method of providing a connector connection restricting means and a method of attaching a detachable cap to the connector receivers 4b and 5b as in Patent Document 1 are employed. However, this method of attaching the cap has problems such as forgetting to attach the cap and losing the cap.

また、上記特許文献２のように、プロセッサ装置において接続していないコネクタ受け部の電気的接続線を当該装置内回路から分離することも考えられるが、この場合にも、コネクタ受け部内に、水分等が浸入すると、接点が錆び、その水分が残留していれば、接続時に不具合が生じるという問題がある。   In addition, as in Patent Document 2, it is conceivable to separate the electrical connection line of the connector receiving portion that is not connected in the processor device from the circuit in the device. If the contact enters, the contact rusts, and if the moisture remains, there is a problem that a failure occurs at the time of connection.

本発明は上記問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、使用していないコネクタ受けの差込口を確実に閉塞してコネクタ受け内部への水分等の浸入を防止することができ、電気的な安全性が確保されると共に、プロセッサ装置内の回路動作の不具合も生じることのない電子内視鏡装置を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to reliably close an insertion port of a connector receiver that is not in use to prevent intrusion of moisture or the like into the connector receiver. Another object of the present invention is to provide an electronic endoscope apparatus that ensures electrical safety and does not cause problems in circuit operation in the processor apparatus.

図１及び図２には、参考例に係る電子内視鏡装置の構成が示されており、この参考例は、可動遮蔽体をスライド自在にするコネクタ受け開閉機構を用いたものである。図２において、電子内視鏡装置は、例えばＡタイプの電子内視鏡（スコープ）１Ａと、Ｂタイプの電子内視鏡１Ｂを有し、これらをプロセッサ装置１２に接続できるように構成される。なお、プロセッサ装置１２では、光源部が内蔵されているが、光源装置が別体で設けられているものもある。 1 and 2, a configuration is shown in the electronic endoscope apparatus according to a reference example, this reference example is obtained by using a connector receiving opening and closing mechanism to slidably movable shield. In FIG. 2, the electronic endoscope apparatus includes, for example, an A type electronic endoscope (scope) 1 </ b> A and a B type electronic endoscope 1 </ b> B, and these can be connected to the processor device 12. . In addition, although the light source unit is built in the processor device 12, there are some in which the light source device is provided separately.

図１において、プロセッサ装置１２には、各種の電子内視鏡１Ａ，１Ｂの光源コネクタ３を接続するコネクタ受け１３が設けられると共に、Ａタイプの電子内視鏡１Ａの電気コネクタ１４ａを接続する角形コネクタ受け１４ｂと、Ｂタイプの電子内視鏡１Ｂの電気コネクタ１５ａを接続する丸形コネクタ受け１５ｂが設けられる。そして、ツマミ１７を表面側に取り付けた平板の遮蔽体（蓋体）１８と、この遮蔽体１８を上下で保持した状態でコネクタ受け１４ｂ及び１５ｂの差込口（前面）側をスライドさせる上下レール１９とが設けられ、この上下レール１９の端部には、レール部材を上下レール間中央側へ折り曲げた係止部（ストッパ）２０が形成される。 In FIG. 1, the processor device 12 is provided with a connector receiver 13 for connecting the light source connectors 3 of the various electronic endoscopes 1A and 1B, and a rectangular shape for connecting the electrical connector 14a of the A type electronic endoscope 1A. A round connector receiver 15b for connecting the connector receiver 14b and the electrical connector 15a of the B-type electronic endoscope 1B is provided. Then, upper and lower shields of the plate fitted with knobs 17 on the surface side (lid) 18, sliding the connector receiving 14b and 15b of the insertion port while maintaining the shield 18 in the vertical (front) side A rail 19 is provided, and an engaging portion (stopper) 20 is formed at the end of the upper and lower rails 19 by bending the rail member toward the center between the upper and lower rails.
