振動発生部２１は、圧電体を有すると共にバッテリ３０に電気的に接続され、圧電体に所定の電圧が印加される。この圧電体に所定の電圧を印加することにより、設定された周波数および振幅の超音波振動が発生するようになっている。本実施形態の洗浄器１００では、振動発生部２１が、衣類の洗浄に適した３０〜４０ｋＨｚの周波数を発生させるように設定されている。 The vibration generating unit 21 has a piezoelectric body and is electrically connected to the battery 30, and a predetermined voltage is applied to the piezoelectric body. By applying a predetermined voltage to this piezoelectric body, ultrasonic vibration of a set frequency and amplitude is generated. In the washing device 100 of the present embodiment, the vibration generating unit 21 is set to generate a frequency of 30 to 40 kHz suitable for washing clothes.

また、振動発生部２１は、図３に示すように、先端部１２の基部１３の内部に位置している。この振動発生部２１の周囲にはパッキン２１１が設けられており、これにより、振動発生部２１と先端部１２の基部１３との間をシールしている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the vibration generating portion 21 is located inside the base portion 13 of the tip portion 12. A packing 211 is provided around the vibration generating portion 21, thereby sealing between the vibration generating portion 21 and the base portion 13 of the tip portion 12.

As shown in FIG. 3, the horn portion 22 extends from the vibration generating portion 21 toward the upper side in the Y direction along the center line CL, and the tip 221 penetrates the base portion 13 of the tip portion 12. Through the hole 132, it protrudes to the outside of the main body 10 from the opening 143 on the upper side of the tip 14 of the tip 12 in the Y direction. That is, the horn portion 22 is provided in the main body portion 10, and a part thereof is arranged in a state of being exposed from one end of the main body portion 10.

また、ホーン部２２は、図４に示すように、Ｙ方向に沿った平面視において、矩形状を
有している。Ｙ方向に沿った平面視において、ホーン部２２の矩形状の各辺は、本体部１０の把持部１１の各角部が面取りされた正四角形状の各辺に対して略平行に配置されている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the horn portion 22 has a rectangular shape in a plan view along the Y direction. In a plan view along the Y direction, each rectangular side of the horn portion 22 is arranged substantially parallel to each side of the regular square shape in which each corner portion of the grip portion 11 of the main body portion 10 is chamfered. There is.

次に、洗浄器１００の使用について説明する。 Next, the use of the washer 100 will be described.

まず、被洗浄物の汚れが付着した箇所（洗浄箇所）に洗浄媒体を含ませる。この洗浄媒体は、通常の水であってもよいし、洗浄成分を含んだ水であってもよい。 First, a cleaning medium is included in a portion (cleaning location) where dirt is attached to the object to be cleaned. The cleaning medium may be ordinary water or water containing cleaning components.

次に、押しボタンスイッチ１６を操作して、洗浄器１００の電源をオン状態にする。これにより、超音波ホーン２０に電力が供給され、振動発生部２１が超音波振動を発生させる。振動発生部２１により発生した超音波振動は、振動発生部２１からホーン部２２に伝達される。 Next, the push button switch 16 is operated to turn on the power of the washer 100. As a result, electric power is supplied to the ultrasonic horn 20, and the vibration generating unit 21 generates ultrasonic vibration. The ultrasonic vibration generated by the vibration generating unit 21 is transmitted from the vibration generating unit 21 to the horn unit 22.

続いて、電源をオン状態にした洗浄器１００の把持部１１を把持して、ホーン部２２の先端２２１を被洗浄物の洗浄箇所に押し当てる。ホーン部２２に伝達された超音波振動が被洗浄物の洗浄箇所に伝達され、付着した汚れを浮かせて、洗浄媒体に溶出させる。これにより、被洗浄物に付着した汚れが除去される。 Subsequently, the grip portion 11 of the washer 100 with the power turned on is gripped, and the tip 221 of the horn portion 22 is pressed against the cleaning portion of the object to be cleaned. The ultrasonic vibration transmitted to the horn portion 22 is transmitted to the cleaning portion of the object to be cleaned, and the adhering dirt is floated and eluted in the cleaning medium. As a result, the dirt adhering to the object to be cleaned is removed.

第１実施形態の洗浄器１００では、本体部１０が棒状であると共に、本体部１０が延びる方向に交差する方向の断面において、本体部１０とホーン部２２とが四角形状を有し、かつ、本体部１０の四角形状の一辺とホーン部２２の四角形状の一辺とが平行である。すなわち、本体部１０を用いて、ホーン部２２の方向付けを行うことができるので、ホーン部２２を正確に方向付けすることができる。 In the washer 100 of the first embodiment, the main body 10 has a rod shape, and the main body 10 and the horn 22 have a quadrangular shape in a cross section in a direction in which the main body 10 intersects in the extending direction. The quadrangular side of the main body 10 and the quadrangular side of the horn 22 are parallel. That is, since the horn portion 22 can be oriented by using the main body portion 10, the horn portion 22 can be accurately oriented.

また、本体部１０が棒状であることから、使用者が、鉛筆あるいはペン等と同様に洗浄器１００を把持して、操作することができる。このため、洗浄器１００を容易に操作できる。 Further, since the main body 10 has a rod shape, the user can grip and operate the washer 100 in the same manner as a pencil or a pen. Therefore, the washer 100 can be easily operated.

また、本体部１０が延びる方向に交差する方向において、本体部１０の把持部１１の断面形状が四角形状であるので、本体部１０の断面形状が他の多角形状である場合と比較して、方向付けが容易で、使用者が把持し易く、転がり難い。 Further, since the cross-sectional shape of the grip portion 11 of the main body portion 10 is quadrangular in the direction in which the main body portion 10 intersects in the extending direction, the cross-sectional shape of the main body portion 10 is compared with the case where the cross-sectional shape is another polygonal shape. Easy to orient, easy for the user to grasp, and hard to roll.

また、本体部１０が、使用者により把持される把持部１１を有し、洗浄器１００の重心が把持部１１の中心Ｐに一致している。これにより、使用者により把持された把持部１１の位置と洗浄器１００の重心との間の距離を短くすることができるので、ホーン部２２の操作性を高めることができる。 Further, the main body portion 10 has a grip portion 11 gripped by the user, and the center of gravity of the washer 100 coincides with the center P of the grip portion 11. As a result, the distance between the position of the grip portion 11 gripped by the user and the center of gravity of the washer 100 can be shortened, so that the operability of the horn portion 22 can be improved.
