Abstract
An ultrasonic-wave transmitter/receiver is provided that can achieve a structure with stabilized underwater orientation and improved detection accuracy at a low cost. The ultrasonic-wave transmitter/receiver of the present invention includes an ultrasonic transducer for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves, a bell-shaped case that houses the ultrasonic transducer, and a cable for suspending the case. The ultrasonic transducer is cylindrical and positioned at the center of the bottom of the case. In the gap between the inner peripheral surface of the case and the outer peripheral surface of the ultrasonic transducer, a weight is positioned to surround the ultrasonic transducer, such that its center of gravity is aligned with the center of the case. The gap in the lower region within the case is filled with a filler A, which also fixes the weight in place within the case.
