Abstract

An injection device includes: an injection nozzle injecting an injection agent into a target container, and a vibration generating device vibrating the injection nozzle in a plurality of directions during injection of the injection agent.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An injection device comprising:
an injection nozzle injecting an injection agent into a target container; and
a vibration generating device vibrating the injection nozzle in a plurality of directions during injection of the injection agent to vibrate the injection agent and form waves in the injection agent; wherein
the vibration generating device has a plurality of vibration generators and an amplifier connected to the plurality of vibration generators to drive the plurality of vibration generators;
the plurality of vibration generators each vibrate in a different direction;
the plurality of vibration generators are spaced from each other at a plurality of places on a lateral surface of the injection nozzle such that none of the plurality of vibration generators are in contact with each other, and such that a first one of the plurality of vibration generators is disposed perpendicular to a second one of the plurality of vibration generators; and
the injection nozzle and vibration generating device are movable in a vertical direction and in a horizontal direction while injecting the injection agent such that the injection agent is injected into the target container while the injection nozzle and vibration generating device are moved in a circle above the target container.

2. The injection device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of vibration generators are provided individually at the plurality of places on the lateral surface of the injection nozzle.

3. The injection device according to claim 2 , wherein frequency of vibration of the injection nozzle is not more than 1000 Hz.

4. The injection device according to claim 3 , wherein the injection nozzle is movable in vertical and horizontal directions while injecting the injection agent.

5. The injection device according to claim 4 , wherein the injection nozzle includes a plurality of nozzles provided side by side.

6. The injection device according to claim 3 , wherein the injection nozzle includes a plurality of nozzles provided side by side.

7. The injection device according to claim 2 wherein the injection nozzle is movable in vertical and horizontal directions while injecting the injection agent.

8. The injection device according to claim 7 , wherein the injection nozzle includes a plurality of nozzles provided side by side.

9. The injection device according to claim 2 , wherein the injection nozzle includes a plurality of nozzles provided side by side.

10. The injection device according to claim 1 , wherein frequency of vibration of the injection nozzle is not more than 1000 Hz.

11. The injection device according to claim 10 , wherein the injection nozzle is movable in vertical and horizontal directions while injecting the injection agent.

12. The injection device according to claim 11 , wherein the injection nozzle includes a plurality of nozzles provided side by side.

13. The injection device according to claim 10 , wherein the injection nozzle includes a plurality of nozzles provided side by side.

14. The injection device according to claim 1 , wherein the injection nozzle is movable in vertical and horizontal directions while injecting the injection agent.

15. The injection device according to claim 14 , wherein the injection nozzle includes a plurality of nozzles provided side by side.

16. The injection device according to claim 1 , wherein the injection nozzle includes a plurality of nozzles provided side by side.

17. An injection method wherein when an injection nozzle injects an injection agent into a target container, the injection nozzle is vibrated in a plurality of directions by a vibration generating device having a plurality of vibration generators to vibrate the injection agent and form waves in the injection agent and an amplifier connected to the plurality of vibration generators to drive the plurality of vibration generators, wherein the plurality of vibration generators each vibrate in a different direction, and the plurality of vibration generators are spaced from each other at a plurality of places on a lateral surface of the injection nozzle such that none of the plurality of vibration generators are in contact with each other, and such that a first one of the plurality of vibration generators is disposed perpendicular to a second one of the plurality of vibration generators; and
the injection nozzle and vibration generating device are moved in a vertical direction and in a horizontal direction while injecting the injection agent such that the injection agent is injected into the target container while the injection nozzle and vibration generating device are moved in a circle above the target container.

18. An injection device comprising:
an injection nozzle injecting an injection agent into a target container; and
a vibration generating device vibrating the injection nozzle in a plurality of directions during injection of the injection agent to vibrate the injection agent and form waves in the injection agent; wherein
the vibration generating device has a plurality of vibration generators and an amplifier connected to the plurality of vibration generators to drive the plurality of vibration generators;
the plurality of vibration generators each vibrate in a different direction;
the plurality of vibration generators are spaced from each other at a plurality of places on a lateral surface of the injection nozzle such that none of the plurality of vibration generators are in contact with each other, and such that a first one of the plurality of vibration generators is disposed perpendicular to a second one of the plurality of vibration generators; and
the injection nozzle and vibration generating device are attached to a plurality of perpendicular shafts for moving the injection nozzle and vibration generating device in a vertical direction and in a horizontal direction while injecting the injection agent, such that the injection agent is injected into the target container while the injection nozzle is moved in a circle above the target container.
