PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscope washing apparatus improving washing efficiency of an endoscope by applying kinetic energy to wash, in the endoscope washing apparatus including a washing/disinfecting tank.SOLUTION: The endoscope washing apparatus includes: a washing/disinfecting tank 11 for washing/disinfecting an endoscope a first circumfluence nozzle 201, disposed in the washing/disinfecting tank 11, for applying first circumfluence to liquid in the washing/disinfecting tank by a jet flow and a second circumfluence nozzle 202, disposed in the washing/disinfecting tank 11, for applying second circumfluence that is a different rotating direction from that of the first circumfluence. This configuration can alternately apply normal/reverse circumfluences to the wash in the washing/disinfecting tank 11 so as to improve efficiency of washing or the like of the endoscope.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】洗浄消毒槽を備える内視鏡洗浄装置において、洗浄液に運動エネルギーを与えることにより、内視鏡の洗浄効率を高めた内視鏡洗浄装置の提供。【解決手段】内視鏡を洗浄・消毒するための槽である洗浄消毒槽11と、洗浄消毒槽11内に配され、噴流によって洗浄消毒槽内の液体に第1の回流を与える第1回流ノズル201と、洗浄消毒槽11内に配され、第1の回流と異なる回転方向である第2の回流を与える第2回流ノズル202と、を備えることにより、洗浄消毒槽11内の洗浄液等に正転、逆転の回流を交互に与え、内視鏡の洗浄等の効率を高める。【選択図】図2
