Abstract
A liquid atomizing apparatus includes an ultrasonic wave transducer connected to an ultrasonic wave oscillator for transforming an electrical oscillation into a mechanical vibration, and a mechanical vibration amplifying member has one end thereof integrally secured to one end of the ultrasonic wave transducer for amplifying the amplitude of the mechanical vibrations transmitted from the ultrasonic wave transducer. An ultrasonic vibratory member of a hollow cylindrical body, which has a predetermined wall thickness, has a portion of its outer circumferential surface integrally secured to the other end of the mechanical vibration amplifying member and a liquid supply means connected to a liquid source for supplying a liquid of a given amount to the circumferential surface of the ultrasonic vibratory member is also provided, the liquid being supplied to the circumferential surface of the ultrasonic vibratory member being atomized upon such circumferential surface of the ultrasonic vibratory member. The liquid atomizing apparatus is capable of atomizing a large amount of liquid upon the outer and/or inner circumferential surfaces of the vibratory member, and achieves a consistent and stable atomization of the liquid while maintaining the size of the atomized liquid particles, and the distribution of the particles, uniform.
