Abstract
A system comprises a support, typically part of dishwashing machine or clothes washing machine, having a plurality of piezoelectric transducers. Each transducer can have a cylindrical housing with a water inlet along a side surface of the housing. The transducers can also comprise a lens and a piezoelectric material with electrodes configured to couple to a power supply.
Claims19
A system comprising:
- a) at least one support, wherein the support comprises two rotating arms rotatably coupled to an interior bottom surface of a machine;
- and
- b) a plurality of piezoelectric transducers on each arm, each piezoelectric transducer comprising:
- i) a cylindrical housing having a cylindrical side surface, a closed bottom surface and a conical or pyramidal top surface with a water outlet centered along the top surface of the housing;
- ii) a water inlet along the side surface of the housing;
- iii) a lens;
- iv) piezoelectric material having an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface of the piezoelectric material coupled to the lens;
- and
- v) two electrodes electrically coupled to the lower surface and to the upper surface of the piezoelectric material and configured to couple to a power supply.
