The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed oscillation control technology based on the acoustic characteristics of probes through the manufacturing technology of original ultrasonic probes. This has evolved into technology for controlling the nonlinear vibration phenomena of surface acoustic waves. The key point is the optimization control method for ultrasonic oscillation control tailored to the propagation characteristics of surface acoustic waves on the surface of ultrasonic elements and their intended use (conditions for combining sweep oscillation and pulse oscillation). To achieve this, it is important to dynamically evaluate the propagation state of ultrasound through operational verification of the ultrasonic propagation characteristics of the original probe (sound pressure level, frequency range, nonlinearity, dynamic characteristics, etc.). In particular, it is necessary to measure, analyze, and evaluate the dynamically changing oscillation characteristics of the ultrasonic probe (or element) and the oscillator (function generator) regarding their transmission and reception characteristics.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has applied and developed technology utilizing "ultrasonic transducers" of multiple different frequencies. The applied technology developed this time is a technique that changes the effects of cavitation and acceleration into a specific power spectrum of propagation frequency through the control of standing waves. With ultrasonic irradiation at frequencies of 28 + 72 kHz and an output of 200 W, it is possible to achieve a dispersion effect of 1 micron. Additionally, ultrasonic irradiation at frequencies of 28 + 40 kHz and an output of 280 W can clean without causing damage. Through original measurement and analysis technology of ultrasonic propagation states, we have confirmed that control states can be realized by the combination of transducers.

This is an effective device using a dedicated ultrasonic tank (original manufacturing method). Due to the high efficiency of ultrasonic utilization, standard tanks lack sufficient strength and durability. Depending on the target and purpose, multiple ultrasonic waves and a degassing fine bubble generation liquid circulation device are controlled based on sound pressure measurement analysis for cleaning, stirring, and surface modification. We propose various combinations and usage (control) methods. The key point is to achieve an ultrasonic propagation state tailored to the target, focusing on the "dissolved oxygen concentration distribution" and "liquid circulation" within the dedicated tank. << Degassing Fine Bubble (Microbubble) Generation Liquid Circulation Device >> 1) By narrowing the suction side of the pump, cavitation is generated. 2) Cavitation causes bubbles of dissolved gases to form. The above describes the state of the degassing liquid circulation device. 3) As the concentration of dissolved gases decreases, the bubble size of dissolved gases due to cavitation becomes smaller. 4) Through appropriate liquid circulation, fine bubbles (microbubbles) smaller than 20μ are generated. The above describes the state of the degassing microbubble generation liquid circulation device.
