Abstract

The present invention includes: a nozzle main body ( 1 ), which includes a tubular body ( 8 ) and a closing flat plate ( 9 ) that closes one tube end ( 8 A) of the tubular body ( 8 ), and in which an inflow space (δ) into which a liquid flows is formed in the tubular body ( 8 ); a liquid jetting hole ( 2 ) penetrating through the closing flat plate ( 9 ) and communicating to the inflow space (δ); and a liquid guide ( 23 ) arranged in the liquid jetting hole ( 2 ) from the inflow space (δ). The liquid guide ( 23 ) is mounted in the liquid jetting hole ( 2 ) from a conical upper surface ( 23 A) so as to form a liquid flow path (ε) between the uneven surface of the conical side surface ( 23 C) and a conical inner peripheral surface ( 2 a ) of the liquid jetting hole ( 2 ).
