Abstract
The invention is directed to a device for generating ultrasound oscillations. In order to be able to excite with the device oscillations in a vessel simultaneously and uniformly from several sides, the device includes a resonator which oscillates radially in several directions during operation of the device.
Claims13
A device for generating ultrasound oscillations, comprising:
- an ultrasound generator,
- a resonator connected to the ultrasound generator for conducting ultrasound and oscillating longitudinally during operation of the ultrasound generator, and
- an additional resonator connected to the longitudinally oscillating resonator in an ultrasound transmitting manner and oscillating radially in a plurality of radial directions during the operation of the ultrasound generator, such that the longitudinal oscillations are converted to radial oscillations.
