There is provided an endoscope which can perform non-contact electric power supply and non-contact signal transmission and of which assembly, repair, and maintenance can be easily performed. A power receiving unit, an image signal transmission unit, and an endoscope side signal transmission and reception unit are disposed in the space (hollow structure) of a first connector of an endoscope. The first connector of the endoscope includes a first connector case and a second connector case disposed in order from a side of the second connector, and a division line between the first and second connector cases includes an inclined portion that is inclined with respect to an insertion direction of the first and second connectors.

Endoscope

There are provided a connector of which manufacture and maintenance are easy and an endoscope system. A connector is a connector for an endoscope that is connected to a light source device. The connector includes a light guide part that guides illumination light, a wireless communication unit that wirelessly communicates with the light source device, a wireless power receiving unit that wirelessly receives power supplied from the light source device, and a housing that is formed in a flat shape in which a horizontal length is longer than a vertical length in a connection posture where the connector is connected to the light source device. The light guide part, the wireless communication unit, and the wireless power receiving unit are provided on a front surface of the housing, which faces the light source device, so as to be lined up in a horizontal direction.

Connector and endoscope system

The invention provides an endoscope connector capable of stably performing image communication, an endoscope including the endoscope connector and endoscope system. An endoscope connector is provided in an endoscope having an imaging unit at a distal end of an insertion portion, connected with an endoscope processor device, and provided with an image signal transmitting unit transmitting an image signal with respect to the endoscope processor device via optical communication. The image signal transmitting unit is arranged in an image signal transmitting connector connected with a processor device connector. The image signal transmitting connector includes a glass member provided at the tip end through which the image signal passes and a guide member formed on a circumference of the glass member. The guide member has grooves thereon radially extending from the glass member.

Endoscope connector, endoscope, and endoscope system

There is provided a connector for an endoscope that is easy to grip and is easily connected to a light source device. The connector includes: a light guide part, a wireless communication unit, a wireless power receiving unit, a housing section which houses the wireless communication unit and the wireless power receiving unit and in which the light guide part protrudes from a front surface thereof positioned close to a light source device in a connection posture where the connector is connected to the light source device, and a grip section that includes a concave finger placing portion on which a thumb is placed and which is provided on an upper surface thereof on a central axis of the light guide part in a case in which the grip section is viewed from an upper surface of the connector positioned on a vertically upper side in the connection posture.

Connector

There is provided a connector for an endoscope that is easy to grip and is easily connected to a light source device. The connector includes: a light guide part; a wireless communication unit; a wireless power receiving unit; a housing section which houses the wireless communication unit and the wireless power receiving unit, and in which the light guide part protrudes from a front surface thereof, an upper surface thereof is a curved surface, and a lower surface thereof is a flat surface; a grip section that has a shape in which a cross-sectional area decreases toward a rear portion from a front portion thereof, and includes a concave finger placing portion which is provided on the upper surface; and a finger locking portion that is provided between the housing section and the grip section and locks a forefinger on a lower surface of the connector.

There are provided an endoscope system capable of suppressing an increase in the size of a first connector of an endoscope and of performing non-contact electric power supply and non-contact signal transmission, an endoscope, and an endoscope connector. A power receiving unit and a power supply unit are disposed opposite to each other along an insertion direction of first and second connectors, and an image signal transmission unit and an image signal receiving unit are disposed opposite to each other along the insertion direction of the first and second connectors. A first circuit board is disposed on the opposite side to the power supply unit with respect to the power receiving unit so as to partially overlap the power receiving unit in the insertion direction. The power receiving unit and the image signal transmission unit are disposed so as not to overlap each other in the insertion direction.
