2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a flowing water type cleaning device utilizing ultrasonic vibration of this type is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 56-60677.
It is known as can be seen in the publication. Such a conventional device will be described with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 1 is a nozzle tube, and 2 is an ultrasonic transducer. The ultrasonic transducer 2 is provided at a position directly facing the discharge port 3 of the nozzle tube 1 in order to transmit the ultrasonic wave to the object to be cleaned with as little loss as possible, and irradiates the ultrasonic wave substantially parallel to the movement direction of the discharged water flow. For this reason, the nozzle tube 1 forms a flow path that guides the water flow from the side of the ultrasonic transducer 2 and diverts it in front of the ultrasonic transducer 2, and the transducer 2 sends ultrasonic waves at the position where this water stream diverts.

However, in such a conventional structure, since the flow path is turned into an L-shape, a cavitation or a turbulent flow is generated in the C portion of FIG. In addition to the fact that the direction of irradiation and the direction of irradiation of ultrasonic waves do not always match, efficient cleaning cannot be obtained, and ultrasonic waves ride on a meandering flow and are repeatedly reflected and attenuated by the pipe wall, which causes a significant energy loss. It was In order to make the directions of the water flow and the ultrasonic wave uniform, this can be solved by securing a sufficient length of the nozzle tube 1 from the vibrator 2 to the discharge port 3, but the size of the nozzle tube 1 increases accordingly. There was an inconvenience due to restrictions on use.

In addition, in this type of cleaning apparatus, it is necessary to increase the output of the ultrasonic vibrator in order to improve the cleaning power. However, in the currently known vibrators, the physical properties are limited and the conversion efficiency is lowered. There is a limit to the output that can be obtained with each oscillator. Therefore, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-65784, an attempt to increase ultrasonic output by using a plurality of transducers is known. However, it was not easy to align the direction of water flow with the direction of multiple ultrasonic waves, and a sufficient effect was not obtained. In addition, even if the ultrasonic transducers are of the same material and size, they have different natural frequencies (hereinafter referred to as “natural frequencies”) that can resonate well with large amplitude due to subtle differences in solids. 1.5 on the market
In the oscillator corresponding to MHz, the natural frequency is 1.5 to 1.7 MHz
It is known that there are variations within a certain range. The highest output can be obtained by vibrating the oscillators at their natural frequencies, but they will cancel each other out by combining sound waves of different natural frequencies. There was also a problem that high output could not be obtained.
