It is a cylindrical horn made of stainless steel etc.
The horn 12 vibrates vertically. 14 is horn 1
2 is a cup-shaped cover provided so as to cover the lower front end of the cover 2. A water supply port 15 for supplying cleaning water is provided on the side surface of the cover 14, and an outlet 16 for discharging the cleaning water is provided at the lower part.
Are provided respectively. A washing water sink 17 is provided with an outlet 18 for washing water on its bottom surface. The attachment of the cover 14 to the horn 12 described above is performed, for example, with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, a disk-shaped flange 21 is provided in the middle of the cylindrical horn 14, and the flange 21 is provided with a flange 22 provided in the upper opening of the cover 14 from an elastic material such as rubber. The bolts 24 and the nuts 25 are fixed via the ring-shaped packing 23. In addition, 26 is a spring washer for preventing loosening.

できる。As an example of the test of the present invention, the size of the horn 12 is about 100 mm in vertical length and about 20 mm in tip diameter, and the power of the ultrasonic transducer 11 is 200 W.
In such a case, the gap between the horn 12 and the cover 14 is preferably about 5 to 10 mm at the side surface portion and about 5 mm at the lower portion. In particular, if the gap in the lower portion is made large, the vibration due to ultrasonic waves is attenuated. Therefore, it is effective that the gap is narrow. Further, the frequency of the ultrasonic transducer 11 is preferably about 20 to 40 kHz. This is because if the frequency is lowered, noise will be offensive to the ears, and if the frequency is raised, there is a problem that vibrations are fine and dirt cannot be easily removed. The above-mentioned dimensions of the respective portions are examples, and the dimensions can be appropriately selected by changing the size of the horn 12 and the power of the ultrasonic transducer 11.

浄効果を高めるようにすることができる。In this ultrasonic hand washing machine, by turning on a switch (not shown) at the time of washing, washing water is supplied to the water supply port 15 of the cover 14 and the ultrasonic vibrator 11 is vibrated by an oscillator (not shown). The washing water to which ultrasonic waves are applied (ridden) flows out from the washing water outlet 16 of the cover 14, and the hands and the like are washed with this ultrasonic washing water. Although the cleaning liquid has been described as the cleaning water in the present embodiment, the cleaning effect can be further enhanced by using hot water having an appropriate temperature or a disinfecting liquid.
