PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscope system capable of securely recognizing a state of connection between an endoscope and a video processor.SOLUTION: An endoscope 2 has an electric connector 12 comprising a connection detection electric terminal 12a and a connection detection protrusion 12b. A video processor 3 has a connection unit 30 to which the electric connector 12 is to be connected and which comprises a connection detection electric terminal 35a for electrically communicating with the connection detection electric terminal 12a to output a second detection signal and a photo interrupter 35b for detecting the connection detection protrusion 12b to output a first detection signal. A control unit 31 determines a state of connection between the electric connector 12 and the connection unit 30 on the basis of an output signal from an OR circuit 36 for calculating the logical sum of the first detection signal and the second detection signal.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】内視鏡とビデオプロセッサとの接続状態を確実に認識することができる内視鏡システムを提供する。【解決手段】内視鏡2に設けられた電気コネクタ12に、接続検知用電気端子12aと接続検知用突出部12bとを備え、ビデオプロセッサ3における前記電気コネクタ12が接続される接続部30に、前記接続検知用電気端子12aと導通して第2の検出信号を出力する接続検知用電気端子35aと、前記接続検知用突出部12bを検知して第1の検出信号を出力するフォトインタラプタ35bとを備え、第1の検出信号と第2の検出信号との論理和を演算するOR回路36の出力信号に基づいて前記電気コネクタ12と当該接続部30との接続状態を制御部31において判定する。【選択図】図2
