Abstract
An endoscope cleaning/disinfecting apparatus according to the present invention includes a chemical bottle, an insertion portion, a chemical receiving portion, a blade portion, a first limit switch and a second limit switch. When the chemical bottle is moved to a first position, the first limit switch changes from off to on to detect the first position, when the chemical bottle is inserted to a second position at which an inner face of the chemical receiving portion and a spout portion are aligned to each other, the second limit switch changes from off to on to detect the second position, and when the chemical bottle is inserted to a third position at which a stopper portion is opened, the first limit switch is released by a stepped portion from pressing by the chemical bottle, and thereby changes from on to off to detect the third position.
