PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscope to be disposed in a fluid pipe and capable of preventing acceleration of fluid between a body of the endoscope and an inner peripheral surface of the fluid pipe.SOLUTION: The endoscope comprises an endoscope body 2 to be introduced into a fluid pipe 1 in a state not to interrupt flow and having a camera 5 to capture an image in the fluid pipe 1, a fluid receiving part 12 provided in a circumferential direction of the endoscope body 2, and a cable 9 connected to the endoscope body 2 and for transmitting image information captured by the endoscope body 2 to the outside of the fluid pipe 1. The endoscope is disposed in the fluid pipe 1 and receives a fluid pressure in the fluid pipe 1 by the fluid receiving part 12 to allow the endoscope body 2 to move in a direction of the flow. The fluid receiving part 12 has water permeability.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】内視鏡本体部と流体管の内周面との間での流体の加速を抑えることができる流体管内に配置される内視鏡を提供すること。【解決手段】流体管1内部に不断流状態で導入され、流体管1内を撮影するためのカメラ5を有する内視鏡本体2と、内視鏡本体2の周方向に沿って設けられた流体受け部材12と、内視鏡本体2に接続され内視鏡本体2で撮影された画像情報を流体管1の外部に伝送するためのケーブル9と、を備え、流体受け部材12が流体管1内で流体圧を受けることで内視鏡本体2が流体の流れ方向に移動可能な流体管1内に配置される内視鏡であって、流体受け部材12は透水性を有している。【選択図】図2
