Abstract
A microwave device capable of increasing an amount of heat generated at the tip end thereof. The microwave device having a central conductor that transmits microwaves, an insulator covering the central conductor, and an external conductor covering the insulator. The central conductor is exposed to the outside from a tip end of a microwave irradiation part for the first time, and an externally exposed part of the exposed central conductor is bent toward the base end side of the microwave emitting unit so as to be along the external conductor.
Claims2
A microwave device capable of radiating microwaves, comprising:
- a central conductor operable to transmit microwaves;
- a first insulator covering the central conductor;
- an external conductor covering the first insulator;
- the central conductor being exposed from a tip end of the microwave device;
- an externally exposed part of the central conductor being bent toward a base end side of the microwave device so as to be along the external conductor;
- the external conductor having a concave slit formed along an axial direction of the external conductor;
- the concave slit comprising right and left wall surfaces along the axial direction of the external conductor;
- and
- the externally exposed part of the central conductor being arranged in the concave slit of the external conductor so as to be disposed between the right and left wall surfaces of the concave slit;
- and
- an outer peripheral surface of the concave slit being covered with a second insulator, and the second insulator being operable to prevent the externally exposed part of the central conductor from coming into contact with the external conductor.
