Abstract
A circulation mechanism includes a storage section, a supply pipe, a collection pipe, a circulation drive section, and a protective member. The storage section accommodates liquid metal. The supply pipe supplies the liquid metal accommodated in the storage section to a target mechanism. The collection pipe is communicated with the storage section and collects the liquid metal that has been drained away from the target mechanism into the storage section. The circulation drive section allows the liquid metal accommodated in the storage section to move to the supply pipe, and thus circulates the liquid metal to and from the target mechanism. The protective member is disposed to cover a portion of an inner wall of the collection pipe, the portion corresponding to a position at which the liquid metal flowing through the collection pipe collides with the liquid metal accommodated in the storage section.
