Abstract:
An electrode unit of the invention includes: an electrode including one end and another end, the other end including a free end; and an electrode supporting portion that supports the one end of the electrode. The electrode is disposed in a second plane that is different from a first plane in which the electrode supporting portion is moved to advance or withdraw when the electrode supporting portion is moved to advance or withdraw in a direction along a longitudinal axis of the electrode supporting portion, and the electrode is supported by the electrode supporting portion via a flexed portion projecting from the first plane to the second plane.
Abstract:
An ultrasonic vibrator and an ultrasonic treatment device which can adjust a resonant frequency while maintaining driving force are provided. An ultrasonic vibrator 1 includes two metal blocks 2, a driving unit 3 that is arranged between the metal blocks 2 and produces a piezoelectric effect to vibrate by application of an alternating voltage, and at least one adjustment unit 4 that is arranged between the metal blocks 2 and the driving unit 3 in an insulated state and changes Young's modulus.
Abstract:
An ultrasound vibration device includes a stacked transducer in which a plurality of piezoelectric substances and a plurality of electrode plates are stacked, an external shape of the stacked transducer being in a polygonal prism shape, insulators, a case main body housing the piezoelectric transducer and the insulators, a pressurizing member screwed and fastened to an opening portion of the case main body to pressurize and fix the stacked transducer and the insulators in the case main body, and a plurality of positioning member insertion sections into which a positioning member is inserted, the positioning member retaining the stacked transducer and the insulators in the polygonal prism shape and positioning the stacked transducer in a position where the stacked transducer is non-contact with an inner wall of the case main body and one ends of the insulators are in contact with the pressurizing member.
Abstract:
In manufacturing method of a cylindrical piezoelectric element, a cylindrical piezoelectric material is formed by molding a piezoelectric material into a cylindrical shape and subjecting the molded piezoelectric material to calcination. A reference electrode is provided on an inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical piezoelectric material. Drive electrodes are provided in a circumferential direction so that the drive electrodes are extending in an axial direction from one end to the other end on an outer circumferential surface. A polarization electrode is provided at a part of the circumferential surface in the vicinity of the one end. A predetermined voltage is applied between the polarization electrode and the reference electrode. The polarization electrode is removed from the cylindrical piezoelectric material.
Abstract:
A perfusion device includes an insertion section of an endoscope configured to be insertable inside a subject and including a treatment instrument insertion conduit disposed along a longitudinal axis, and a liquid feeding tube configured to be insertable in the treatment instrument insertion conduit and including an opening at a distal end part, where, in a state where the opening protrudes from a distal end of the treatment instrument insertion conduit, feeding of normal saline can be performed through the opening of the liquid feeding tube and suction of normal saline can be performed through a gap between an outer circumferential surface of the liquid feeding tube and an inner circumferential surface of the treatment instrument insertion conduit, and a flow path for the liquid communicating with the opening of the tube is formed bent along the outer circumferential surface of the tube.
