cup (with horn)
Explanation:
Sonotrodes have no "electric bells" (doorbell), but a cup with horn for emission or ultrasonic waves.
Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die Reinigung ebener Oberflächen beschränkt. Die beanspruchte Vorrichtung und das beanspruchte Verfahren sind mit gleichem Vorteil sowohl bei ebenen als auch bei gekrümmten Oberflächen, z. B. Innen- oder Außenwandungen von Rohren, anwendbar. Der Aufsetzrand der Gehäuseglocke kann so ausgebildet sein, daß er sich der gekrümmten Oberfläche anpaßt. Die Gehäuseglocke könnte teil- oder vollringförmig ausgebildet sein und innen oder außen auf eine Rohrwandung aufgesetzt werden.
:
Die Figur zeigt mit 5 die Gehäuseglocke, in die bei 2 das Spülfluid, z. B. Wasser zugeführt und aus der bei 6 das Fluid abgeleitet wird. Als Ultraschallquelle dient eine Balkensonotrode 3, die mit einem piezoelektrischen Konverter 4 zusammenwirkt.

Ultrasonic surface cleaning tool - for cleaning water tanks in nuclear power stations, has cup into which fluid is fed to flow between ultrasonic generator tip and surface
Abstract
(A) An ultasonic surface cleaning device has a cup (5) which can be moved along the surface (7) to be cleaned and which accommodates an ultrasonic generator (3) with a tip spaced from the surface (7), the space between the cup (5), the ultrasonic generator (3) and the surface (7) being (partially) filled with a coupling fluid.

CupHorn An ultrasonic cup horn, such as the UP200St-TD_CupHorn, can be used for direct and indirect sonication. A cup horns working principle can be compared with an ultrasonic bath or cleaning tank but with a much more intense ultrasonic energy.

A Cup Horn offers indirect sonication and functions as a high intensity ultrasonic water bath. Multiple samples can be processed in sealed tubes eliminating cross contamination or aerosol issues.
The horn is mounted within an acrylic cup and the cup is filled with water. Sample tubes are placed in a rack at a fixed distance above the ultrasonic horn. Cavitation is produced in the water, processing the samples within the tubes. The #440 tube rack is included with the Cup Horn. This rack is made for 1.5ml polystyrene tubes which are proven to process samples more efficiently than 1.5ml polypropylene tubes.
Sonication generates heat so inlets for cooling are located on each side of the cup. The #4900 Chiller is recommended for maintaining both the water temperature and water level within the Cup Horn. Maintaining a fixed water level is extremely important and only the Qsonica chiller can accurately control this variable.
The Sound Enclosure is highly recommended for all Cup Horn users. In addition to reducing sonication noise to safe levels, it securely holds the Cup Horn in place. The Sound Enclosure features ports on either side to allow coolant tubing to pass from the Cup Horn to the Chiller.

What is a sonotrode?
Sonotroden sind Werkzeuge, die durch das Einleiten von hochfrequenten mechanischen Schwingungen (Ultraschall) in Resonanzschwingungen versetzt werden. Sie stellen die Verbindung vom Ultraschallgenerator zum Werkstück her und passen die Ultraschallschwingung an die Bearbeitungsaufgabe an (Impedanzanpassung). Sonotroden werden beim Ultraschallschweißen eingesetzt, um in den Füge- oder Kontaktzonen auf Grund verschiedener Prozesse eine dauerhafte Verbindung der Bauteile herzustellen. Weiterhin werden sie beim Ultraschallschwingläppen zur Übertragung der Schwingung auf das eigentliche, abbildende Werkzeug verwendet. ihre Geometrie ist abhängig von der durch den eingesetzten Generator bereitgestellten Frequenz und von der Bearbeitungsaufgabe.

(No mention of "Glocke")
A sonotrode usually consists of a stack of piezoelectric transducers attached to a tapering metal rod. The end of the rod is applied to the working material.
:
Sonotrodes are made of titanium, aluminium or steel, with or without heat treatment (carbide). The shape of the sonotrode (round, square, with teeth, profiled ...), depends on the quantity of vibratory energy and a physical constraint for a specific application. Its shape must be optimized for the particular application.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonotrode
An ultrasonic horn (also known as acoustic horn, sonotrode, acoustic waveguide, ultrasonic probe) is a tapering metal bar commonly used for augmenting the oscillation displacement amplitude provided by an ultrasonic transducer operating at the low end of the ultrasonic frequency spectrum (commonly between 15 and 100 kHz).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_horn
I doubt whether the German "Glocke" is a valid term for sonotrodes as it has no much Ghits.
"Sonotrode" "Glocke" About 484 results (0,35 seconds)
Please cf.
"Sonotrode" "Becher" About 2.460 results (0,37 seconds)
as well as
"sonotrode" "bell" "horn" About 2.660 results (0,40 seconds)
"sonotrode" "cup" "horn" About 33.300 results (0,41 seconds)
Ultrasonic sonotrodes are also known as ultrasonic tip, probe, horn or finger.
:
An ultrasonic cup horn, such as the UP200St-TD_CupHorn, can be used for direct and indirect sonication. A cup horns working principle can be compared with an ultrasonic bath or cleaning tank but with a much more intense ultrasonic energy. The CupHorn functions as sonotrode that transmits the ultrasound waves into the sample. When the cup horn is filled with the sample, the ultrasonic energy is transferred directly into the sample medium.

Another commercially available cell type is the cup horn, which is a form of ultrasonic bathe in which energy is imparted by an inverted horn sealed into the bottom of a water jacket or cup that enables temperature control of the sonicated system in addition to power control (Fig. 2.4D)

A sonotrode 2 connected to an ultrasound generator 1 is partially designed as a hollow body and forms a vessel 10 . A "cup sonotrode" is thus formed, which is closed off as an ultrasound vessel with a lid 3 .
:
4. The device according to claim 3, characterized in that the sonotrode ( 2 ) is cup-shaped and equally forms an ultrasonic vessel ( 10 ).

Eine mit einem Ultraschallgenerator 1 verbundene Sonotrode 2 ist teilweise als Hohlkörper ausgebildet und bildet ein Gefäß 10. Es wird so eine "Bechersonotrode" gebildet, die als Ultraschallgefäß mit einem Deckel 3 abgeschlossen ist.
:
4. Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 3, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Sonotrode (2) becherförmig ausgebildet ist und gleichermaßen ein Ultraschallgefäß (10) bildet.

This clarifies that
1. "bell" and "Glocke" are much rarer than "cup" and "Becher", that
2. the "bell" is a "cup" in reality, filled with water, and that
3. a cup horn is one of different sonotrode types.
Last but not least, see a youtube video about cup horns.

In fact, it does not resemble a bell.
