LIGHT SOURCE DEVICE FOR ENDOSCOPE, AND LAMP REMOVAL MECHANISM FOR THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light source device for an endoscope and a lamp removal mechanism for the device which allow a lamp to be removed by an operation of opening an opening/closing door, that is a simple operation.SOLUTION: A opening/closing door 33 is provided at a housing in a rotatable manner to open and close an opening. A horizontal rotation plate 35 extends approximately perpendicularly from the opening/closing door 33 and has a protrusion 35c standing on its top face 35b. A cam plate 91 is provided in parallel to the horizontal rotation plate 35 and has a pair of claws 81 and 81 on the side opposite from the opening. The rotation of the protrusion 35c in response to the opening/closing operation of the opening/closing door 33 moves the claws 81 and 81 forward to push the rear face of the lamp, which pushes out the lamp toward the opening. 【課題】開閉扉を開放する操作、すなわち単純な操作によりランプを取り外すことができる内視鏡用光源装置およびそのランプ取り外し機構を得る。【解決手段】開閉扉３３が筐体に回動自在に設けられ、開口部を開閉する。水平回動板３５は開閉扉３３から略垂直方向に延び、その上面３５ｂに突起３５ｃが立設される。カム板９１は水平回動板３５と平行に設けられ、開口部の反対側に一対の爪８１、８１を有する。突起３５ｃが、開閉扉３３の開放動作に応じて回動することにより、一対の爪８１、８１が前進してランプの背面を押し、ランプが開口部側へ押し出される。【選択図】図６
