Abstract

A fluid injection device includes a pulse generator which converts fluid into pulse flow, a suction pipe projecting from the pulse generator, an injection pipe which is eccentrically inserted into the suction pipe such that the outer circumferential surface of the injection pipe contacts the inner circumferential surface of the suction pipe, and has an injection opening communicating with the pulse generator, and a suction channel and a suction opening formed between the inner circumferential surface of the suction pipe and the outer circumferential surface of the injection pipe. The injection pipe is fixed to the inner circumferential surface of the suction pipe in the vicinity of the injection opening.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fluid injection unit comprising:
an injection pipe that includes an injection opening;
a suction pipe, wherein the injection pipe is located in the suction pipe; and
a suction opening formed between the inner circumferential surface of the suction pipe and the outer circumferential surface of the injection pipe,
wherein the injection pipe includes a bent portion that is located in the suction pipe.

2. The fluid injection unit according to claim 1 ,
wherein the injection pipe includes a contact portion that contacts the inner circumferential surface of the suction pipe,
wherein the contact portion is located between the injection opening and the blended portion.

3. The fluid injection unit according to claim 1 , wherein
the injection pipe includes a plurality of a contact portion that contact the suction pipe.

4. The fluid injection unit according to claim 1 ,
wherein the suction pipe includes an opening portion that is configured to communicate with a suction pump,
wherein a contact area of the suction pipe that contacts the injection pipe is located between the suction opening and the opening portion.

5. The fluid injection unit according to claim 1 ,
wherein the suction pipe includes an opening portion that is configured to communicate with a suction pump,
wherein a contact length of the injection pipe that contacts the suction pipe in a longitudinal direction of the suction pipe is longer than a length of a diameter of the opening portion.

6. The fluid injection unit according to claim 1 , wherein the injection pipe is eccentric to the suction pipe where the injection pipe contacts the suction pipe.

7. The fluid injection unit according to claim 1 , wherein the injection pipe is eccentric to the suction pipe in vicinity of the injection opening.

8. The fluid injection unit according to claim 1 , wherein the suction pipe includes a bent portion that is located between the suction opening and a root end.

9. The fluid injection unit according to claim 1 ,
wherein the suction pipe includes an opening portion that is configured to communicate with a suction pump,
wherein the suction pipe includes a bent portion that is located between the suction opening and the opening portion.

10. A fluid injection device comprising:
an injection pipe that includes an injection opening;
a suction pipe, wherein the injection pipe is located in the suction pipe; and
a suction opening formed between the inner circumferential surface of the suction pipe and the outer circumferential surface of the injection pipe,
wherein the injection pipe includes a bent portion that is located in the suction pipe.

11. The fluid injection unit according to claim 1 , wherein the injection pipe is urged toward the inner circumferential surface of the suction pipe.

12. The fluid injection device according to claim 10 ,
wherein the injection pipe includes a contact portion that contacts the inner circumferential surface of the suction pipe,
wherein the contact portion is located between the injection opening and the bent portion.

13. The fluid injection device according to claim 10 , wherein the injection pipe includes a plurality of a contact portion that contact the suction pipe.

14. The fluid injection device according to claim 10 ,
wherein the suction pipe includes an opening portion that is configured to communicate with a suction pump,
wherein a contact area of the suction pipe that contacts the injection pipe is located between the suction opening and the opening portion.

15. The fluid injection device according to claim 10 ,
wherein the suction pipe includes an opening portion that is configured to communicate with a suction pump,
wherein a contact length of the injection pipe that contacts the suction pipe in a longitudinal direction of the suction pipe is longer than a length of a diameter of the opening portion.

16. The fluid injection device according to claim 10 , wherein the injection pipe is eccentric to the suction pipe where the injection pipe contacts the suction pipe.

17. The fluid injection device according to claim 10 , wherein the injection pipe is eccentric to the suction pipe in vicinity of the injection opening.

18. The fluid injection device according to claim 10 , wherein the suction pipe includes a bent portion that is located between the suction opening and a root end.

19. The fluid injection device according to claim 10 ,
wherein the suction pipe includes an opening portion that is configured to communicate with a suction pump,
wherein the suction pipe includes a bent portion that is located between the suction opening and the opening portion.

20. The fluid injection device according to claim 10 , wherein the injection pipe is urged toward the inner circumferential surface of the suction pipe.
