Description

Excited quasi-molecular lampbulb

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of excited quasi-molecular lampbulb, more specifically, relate to a kind of excited quasi-molecular lampbulb that cylindric outboard tube and cylindric inside tube is configured in coaxial dual pipe structure.

Background technology

Nowadays, for example in the matting of the application ultraviolet irradiation of the glass substrate of display panels, perhaps in photochemically reactive ultraviolet irradiation operation etc., utilization is to the vacuum ultraviolet method below the handled object illumination wavelength 200nm, as the vacuum ultraviolet device of irradiation, use has the device of excited quasi-molecular lampbulb as light source, and this excited quasi-molecular lampbulb forms excimers by the excimers discharge, utilizes the light that radiates from these excimers.

For example describe with reference to Fig. 1, certain device with excited quasi-molecular lampbulb is constructed as follows: the discharge vessel (11) with bimetallic tube structure, this discharge vessel for example has the outboard tube (12) of the tubular that is made of quartz glass, with in this outboard tube (12) along the configuration of its tubular axis, and the inside tube cylindraceous (13) that for example constitutes by quartz glass with external diameter littler than the internal diameter of this outboard tube (12), outboard tube (12) and inside tube (13) are welded at both ends, between outboard tube (12) and inside tube (13), form discharge space (S), for example a netted side's who is made of electric conducting materials such as woven wires electrode (15) connects airtight the outer peripheral face that is arranged at outboard tube (12), and for example the opposing party's who is made of aluminium sheet electrode (16) connects airtight the inner peripheral surface that is arranged at inside tube (13), in discharge space (S), fill xenon for example etc. forms excimers by the excimers discharge discharge usefulness gas (for example with reference to patent documentation 1 and patent documentation 2).

The discharge vessel of this excited quasi-molecular lampbulb for example can followingly obtain.Just as shown in Figure 9, it is roughly the same to prepare the wall thickness size respectively, two mother tubes 70 cylindraceous that vary in size of external diameter, 71, the both ends of mother tube 71 that make a side who constitutes inside tube are to its footpath direction outside curve, form sweep 72, pass through suitable 75 pairs of two mother tubes 70 of heater from the tube axial direction outside, 71 both ends are heated and are made it fusion, the inner peripheral surface 70A of the opposing party's who constitutes outboard tube mother tube 70 is engaged with the front end face 72A of the sweep 72 of a side's who constitutes inside tube mother tube 71, thus, obtain between the outer peripheral face of the inner peripheral surface of outboard tube and inside tube, having the discharge vessel in the annular discharge space of closed state.At this, making the opposing party's who constitutes outboard tube wall thickness size t1 of mother tube 70 and the wall thickness size t2 of mother tube 71 that constitutes a side of inside tube for example is identical size.

In recent years,, follow the maximization of glass substrate and extend,, for example require total length more than 800mm can access large-area light-emitting zone for example as the excited quasi-molecular lampbulb of the light source of the cleaning device of the glass substrate of display panels.

In this long excited quasi-molecular lampbulb, viewpoint from the bond strength of the mechanical strength of excited quasi-molecular lampbulb integral body and outboard tube and inside tube, the pattern of wants is to make the wall thickness of outboard tube bigger, makes the wall thickness of inside tube compare less with the wall thickness of outboard tube.Make the less reason of wall thickness size of inside tube specify as follows: to have sufficient mechanical in order to make excited quasi-molecular lampbulb, if make the wall thickness of outboard tube and inside tube all big, then become inside tube only by the structure that supports with the bonding part of outboard tube, its deadweight can cause the intensity at junction surface to reduce.

In addition, be not limited to such situation, the situation that need constitute discharge vessel under the state that the wall thickness of outboard tube wall thickness big or small and inside tube varies in size is quite a few.For example in short excited quasi-molecular lampbulb, it is bigger to constitute the wall thickness size that makes inside tube, makes the wall thickness size of outboard tube more less than the wall thickness of inside tube.Its reason is, diminishes by the wall thickness size that makes outboard tube, can improve light transmission, can obtain big light output.

Yet, when the different mutually outboard tube of wall thickness size and inside tube are engaged, because the outboard tube on the heating part at junction surface and the thermal capacity of inside tube vary in size, thereby can not carry out uniform heating to both, be easy to generate and obtain sufficient joint strength, problem such as perhaps deform at the junction surface, crooked, when excited quasi-molecular lampbulb is carried or is installed, perhaps when lighting a lamp the initial stage, there is the problem of guiding discharge container breakage owing to the problem on the interface architecture.

On the other hand, if excited quasi-molecular lampbulb integral body is guaranteed sufficient mechanical, preferably make outboard tube and inside tube thin-walled property.Its reason is can suppress electrical efficiency to reduce.

Yet, as mentioned above, when the bigger structure of the wall thickness difference of outboard tube and inside tube is welded, because thin-walled can excess molten, thereby may joint itself just very difficult.

In outboard tube that constitutes discharge vessel and inside tube a thicker side's wall thickness size be than approach side's wall thickness size for example more than 1.5 times the time, the problems referred to above significantly take place.

On the outboard tube 12 that constitutes discharge vessel 11, connect airtight with its outer peripheral face and a netted side's who is made of electric conducting materials such as woven wires electrode (hereinafter referred to as " outer electrode ") 15 for example is set, on inside tube 13, connect airtight with inner circumferential surface and the opposing party's electrode (hereinafter referred to as " internal electrode ") 16 is set, this the opposing party's electrode 16 for example is made of aluminium, in a tubular form or the cross section be the roughly C word shape (groove shape) that a part has breach.And outer electrode 15 is connected with the supply unit that for example is made of high frequency electric source (not shown) with internal electrode 16.

For example fill discharge gases such as xenon in discharge space S inside, it discharges by the excimers that externally produce between electrode 15 and the internal electrode 16 and forms excimers.

In this excited quasi-molecular lampbulb 10, make the wall thickness of the middle section outboard tube 12 partly that constitutes the excimers light-emitting zone and the wall thickness of inside tube 13 be mutual different size, and the wall thickness that makes a thicker side is the size more than 1.5 times than the wall thickness of Bao Yifang, wherein, this excimers light-emitting zone can effectively utilize from the excimers light of excited quasi-molecular lampbulb 10 radiation.In this embodiment, make the wall thickness size t1 of outboard tube 12 be wall thickness size t2 big (t1 〉=1.5 * t2) (with reference to Fig. 2) than inside tube 13.

In addition, making thin side's wall thickness size (being the big or small t2 of the wall thickness of inside tube 13 in this embodiment) for example is 0.5～1.0mm.

Below, except specified otherwise, so-called " wall thickness " all is meant the wall thickness of the middle section part of excited quasi-molecular lampbulb 10.

Making the wall thickness of the outboard tube 12 on the bonding part of outboard tube 12 and inside tube 13 and the wall thickness of inside tube 13 is roughly the same size.Describe with reference to Fig. 2 particularly, make the wall thickness size of the end of outboard tube 12 be t1, the wall thickness size of the end of the sweep of inside tube 13 is t3, then for satisfying the state of any one party in following formula (1) and the formula (2).

Formula (1) | t1-t3|≤0.2 * t1

Formula (2) | t1-t3|≤0.2 * t3

The excited quasi-molecular lampbulb 10 of above-mentioned formation for example can be following and be made.

Just as shown in Figure 2, the inside tube formation cylindraceous that constitutes inside tube 13 is inserted the outboard tube cylindraceous that constitutes outboard tube 12 with mother tube 20 constitute the inside of using mother tube 21, and arranged coaxial, wherein, it is horn-like that the inside tube formation makes the outer end radius vector direction outside expansion both ends are processed into mother tube 20 in advance with extending, formation sweep 13A; The outboard tube formation has than the external diameter big internal diameter of this inside tube formation with mother tube 20 with mother tube 21, by for example use heaters 25 such as burner to heat from the tube axial direction outside, outboard tube is constituted with the inner peripheral surface 21A of mother tube 21 and inside tube constitute front end face 20A welding, obtain between outboard tube 12 and inside tube 13, being formed with the discharge vessel 11 of bimetallic tube structure of the discharge space S of tubulose thus with the sweep 13A of mother tube 20.At this, inside tube constitutes with mother tube 20, and for example the wall thickness size of middle section part be t2, the sweep 13A that partly continues with this middle section along with outward and the wall thickness change greatly, the wall thickness size of the outer end on the bonding part is t3.

When the outboard tube formation is carried out heat fused with mother tube 21 and inside tube formation with mother tube 20, from the viewpoint of the homogenizing of the thermal capacity size that reaches the heating part H that is heated by heater 25, the length L that the inside tube of preferred heating part H constitutes with mother tube 20 is that outboard tube constitutes the size more than 100% with the big or small t1 of wall thickness of mother tube 21.Thus, can under the state that obtains the uniform heating state, the outboard tube formation be welded with mother tube 20 with mother tube 21 and inside tube formation.

To as the discharge space S of the above-mentioned discharge vessel that obtains 11 in enclose suitable discharge gas, and outer electrode 15 and internal electrode 16 are configured in the position of regulation, thereby obtain excited quasi-molecular lampbulb 10 as shown in Figure 1.

Excited quasi-molecular lampbulb 10 according to above-mentioned formation, because when outboard tube 12 and inside tube 13 being added thermal weld at both ends, wall thickness t1 and inside tube formation that outboard tube on the heating part H that is heated by heater 25 is constituted with mother tube 21 are roughly the same size with the big or small t3 of the wall thickness of the sweep 13A of mother tube 20, thereby the thermal capacity size of the formation of the outboard tube on this heating part H usefulness mother tube 21 and inside tube formation usefulness mother tube 20 is a state about equally, can carry out uniform fusion heating, thereby can suppress distortion reliably, crooked generation, can obtain stable and strong engagement state, its result, can constitute the structure that the junction surface that makes outboard tube 12 and inside tube 13 has fully high reliability, thereby can prevent in the carrying of excited quasi-molecular lampbulb 10 or when installing, the breakage of discharge vessel 11 when perhaps lighting a lamp the initial stage.

More than, the structure of wall thickness size with outboard tube discharge vessel bigger than the wall thickness size of inside tube is illustrated, but the structure with the wall thickness size of inside tube generating container bigger than the wall thickness size of outboard tube also can obtain same effect.

Particularly the present invention is extremely useful for the structure of following formation: the wall thickness size than Bao Yifang in outboard tube and the inside tube is 0.5～1.0mm, a thicker side's wall thickness size is more than 1.5 times of wall thickness size than Bao Yifang, for example the total length of excited quasi-molecular lampbulb 10 at 1000mm with first-class, can guarantee fully high mechanical strength to excited quasi-molecular lampbulb 10 integral body, can make the junction surface of outboard tube and inside tube have fully high reliability simultaneously.

Second execution mode

The excited quasi-molecular lampbulb of second execution mode of the present invention engages outboard tube and inside tube by other attachment at both ends, constitutes discharge vessel, and other basic comprising is identical with structure shown in Figure 1.

Particularly, the discharge vessel of the excited quasi-molecular lampbulb of this second execution mode, as shown in Figure 3, be the bimetallic tube structure of following formation: for example use to constitute with mother tube 31 and inside tube with outboard tube to constitute with the identical material attachment 35 that for example quartz glass constituted of mother tube 30, the outboard tube formation to the wall thickness that has even size on tube axial direction engages with mother tube 30 with mother tube 31 and inside tube formation at both ends respectively.This embodiment constitutes big state (t1 〉=1.5 * t2) of wall thickness size t2 of using mother tube 30 for the wall thickness size t1 that outboard tube constitutes with mother tube 31 than inside tube.

Attachment 35, be to have an end radius vector direction outside expansion to extend and crooked sweep 36, structure with the roughly short cylinder shape of the straight tube-like part 37 that is connected with this sweep 36 by rank portion, with outboard tube constitute with mother tube 31 engages and constitutes end wall sweep 36 the end wall thickness size t4 for and outboard tube constitute the roughly the same size of wall thickness size t1 with mother tube 31, and be roughly the same size with the big or small t2 of the wall thickness of mother tube 30 with big or small t5 of wall thickness and inside tube formation that inside tube constitutes the end of the straight tube-like part 37 that engages with mother tube 30.

Just making the wall thickness of end of sweep 36 and outboard tube constitute wall thickness difference with the wall thickness of mother tube 31 | t1-t4| is that outboard tube constitutes the size 20% below with the end wall thickness size t4 of the wall thickness size t1 of mother tube 31 or sweep 36, and makes the wall thickness of end of straight tube-like part 37 and inside tube constitute wall thickness difference with the wall thickness of mother tube 30 | t2-t5| is the size below 20% of the big or small t5 of wall thickness of the inside tube end that constitutes big or small t2 of the wall thickness of using mother tube 30 or straight tube-like part 37.

The excited quasi-molecular lampbulb of this formation, identical when making excited quasi-molecular lampbulb shown in Figure 1, from the tube axial direction outside, for example use burner etc. to heat, the outboard tube of straight tube-like is constituted with the inner peripheral surface 31A of mother tube 31 and the front end face 36A of the sweep 36 of attachment 35 welds, for example use simultaneously burner etc. to heat from direction inboard, footpath, inside tube is constituted with the outer face 30A of mother tube 30 and the front end face 37A of the straight tube-like part 37 of attachment 35 welds, thus, obtain between outboard tube and inside tube forming the discharge vessel of bimetallic tube structure of the discharge space of tubulose.

When the outboard tube formation is engaged with mother tube 31 and attachment 35, from the viewpoint of the thermal capacity size homogenizing that reaches heating part H1, preferred outboard tube constitutes with the attachment length L 1 on the heating part H1 of mother tube 31 and attachment 35 and constitutes the size more than 100% with the big or small t1 of wall thickness of mother tube 31 for outboard tube.

In addition, attachment 35 and inside tube are constituted when engaging with mother tube 30, from the viewpoint of the big or small homogenizing of the thermal capacity that reaches heating part H2, it is identical size with the length L 2B of mother tube 30 that preferred inside tube constitutes with the length L 2A of the attachment 35 on the heating part H2 of mother tube 30 and attachment 35 and the formation of the inside tube on the heating part H2.The length L 2A of the attachment on the heating part H2 35 and the inside tube on the heating part H2 are constituted length L 2B with mother tube 30, and there is no particular limitation, for example constitutes the size more than 100% with the big or small t2 of wall thickness of mother tube 30 for inside tube.

Thus, can be under the state that obtains the uniform heating state, outboard tube is constituted with mother tube 31 and attachment 35, and attachment 35 and inside tube constitute and weld with mother tube 30.

More than, the structure of the discharge vessel of wall thickness size with outboard tube formation bigger than the wall thickness size of inside tube is illustrated, but (t1 * 1.5≤t2) also are same under than the little situation of the wall thickness size t2 of inside tube at the wall thickness size t1 that makes outboard tube.Just as shown in Figure 4, use following formation as attachment 45: make with outboard tube constitute with mother tube 41 engages and constitutes end wall sweep 46 the end wall thickness size t4 for and the outboard tube formation roughly the same size of the big or small t1 of wall thickness of mother tube 41, and make with inside tube constitute the straight tube-like part 47 that engages with mother tube 40 the end wall thickness size t5 for and inside tube constitute the roughly the same size of the big or small t2 of wall thickness of using mother tube 40, when making outboard tube constitute front end face 46A with the inner peripheral surface 41A of mother tube 41 and the sweep 46 of attachment 45 to weld, inside tube is constituted with the outer face 40A of mother tube 40 and the front end face 47A of the straight tube-like part 47 of attachment 45 welds, thus, obtain the discharge vessel of the bimetallic tube structure in formation tubular discharge space between outboard tube and inside tube.

When the outboard tube formation is engaged with mother tube 41 and attachment 45, from the viewpoint of the thermal capacity size homogenizing that reaches heating part H1, it be that outboard tube on the heating part H1 constitutes the size more than 100% with the big or small t1 of wall thickness of mother tube 41 that preferred outboard tube constitutes length L 3 with the attachment 45 on the heating part H1 of mother tube 41 and attachment 45.

In addition, attachment 45 and inside tube are constituted when engaging with mother tube 40, from the viewpoint of the thermal capacity size homogenizing that reaches heating part H2, it is identical size with the length L 4B of mother tube 40 that preferred inside tube constitutes with the length L 4A of the attachment 45 on the heating part H2 of mother tube 40 and attachment 45 and the formation of the inside tube on the heating part H2.The length L 4A of the attachment on the heating part H2 45 and the inside tube on the heating part H2 are constituted length L 4B with mother tube 40, and there is no particular limitation, for example constitutes the size more than 100% with the big or small t2 of wall thickness of mother tube 40 for inside tube.

Thus, can be under the state that obtains the uniform heating state, outboard tube is constituted with mother tube 41 and attachment 45, and attachment 45 and inside tube constitute and weld with mother tube 40.

As mentioned above, outboard tube and inside tube are engaged by other attachment at both ends, and the excited quasi-molecular lampbulb of the present invention of formation discharge vessel, the excited quasi-molecular lampbulb of first execution mode that directly is welded with outboard tube and inside tube is identical, be roughly the same size owing to make outboard tube constitute the wall thickness size that constitutes with mother tube 31 (41) and attachment 35 (45) with the outboard tube on the heating part H1 of mother tube 31 (41) and attachment 35 (45), and to make attachment 35 (45) and inside tube constitute with the attachment on the heating part H2 of mother tube 30 (40) 35 (45) and inside tube formation be roughly the same size with the wall thickness of mother tube 30 (40), thereby heating part H1, the thermal capacity size of two parts on the H2 about equally, can carry out uniform heating to these two parts, thereby can prevent distortion reliably, crooked generation, can obtain stable and strong engagement state, its result, can constitute the structure that the junction surface that makes outboard tube and inside tube has fully high reliability, thereby can prevent in the carrying of excited quasi-molecular lampbulb 10 or when installing, the breakage of discharge vessel 11 when perhaps lighting a lamp the initial stage.

More than embodiments of the present invention are illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to above-mentioned execution mode, can all in addition changes.

For example, in the excited quasi-molecular lampbulb of first execution mode, can be following structure: constitute as outboard tube and use mother tube, can be to have inboard extension of its both ends radius vector direction and the structure of the sweep of processing, the wall thickness that can use the leading section of sweep is the structure that constitutes the wall thickness same size of using mother tube with inside tube, as inside tube formation mother tube, can use the structure of the straight tube-like of the wall thickness that has even size on tube axial direction, outboard tube constitutes with mother tube and inside tube formation welds with mother tube and forms discharge vessel.

In addition, in the excited quasi-molecular lampbulb of second execution mode, attachment need not to be the material identical with outboard tube and inside tube, the parts that for example can use synthetic quartz glass, fused silica glass, have the formations such as glass material of anti-ultraviolet property.

And, excited quasi-molecular lampbulb of the present invention can be following formation: distolateral in discharge vessel, form from the outstanding next door, the outer peripheral face radius vector direction outside of the inside tube of this discharge vessel along the full Zhou Yanshen of the Zhou Fangxiang of inside tube, thus, form between the end wall of next door and discharge vessel and for example be communicated with and be used to adsorb the getter of foreign gases such as oxygen, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, water with discharge space and accommodate and use auxiliary space.

In this structure, as shown in Figure 5, by will be for example the discoideus next door component parts 60 that constitutes of glass be welded on the outer peripheral face of straight tube-like part 57 of attachment 55 of a part that constitutes inside tube and form the next door, the wall thickness size t6 of the next door component parts 60 on the preferred heating part is the roughly the same size of the big or small t5 of wall thickness with the straight tube-like part 57 of attachment 55.The wall thickness difference of the wall thickness of the straight tube-like part 57 of just preferred attachment 55 and the wall thickness of next door component parts 60 | t5-t6| is the size below 20% of the wall thickness size t6 of the wall thickness size t5 of straight tube-like part 57 of attachment 55 or next door component parts 60.Thus, the thermal capacity of the attachment 55 of heating part and the thermal capacity of next door component parts 60 are roughly the same size, can under the state that obtains the uniform heating state attachment 55 and next door component parts 60 be welded.

In addition, the spacing distance size d between the endface position of the straight tube-like part 57 of the endface position of next door component parts 60 and attachment 55, preference is as constituting the size more than 100% with the wall thickness size t2 of mother tube 40 for inside tube.Thus, attachment 55 and inside tube are being constituted when welding with mother tube 50, the size of the thermal capacity of the next door component parts 60 on the heating part becomes in fact, and it doesn't matter, can obtain stablizing and strong engagement state at the junction surface that attachment 55 and inside tube constitute with mother tube 40.

In addition, make on the attachment 55 with outboard tube constitute the sweep 56 that engages with mother tube 41 the outer end wall thickness size t4 for and outboard tube constitute the roughly the same size of the big or small t1 of wall thickness of using mother tube 41.

In addition, in the excited quasi-molecular lampbulb of second execution mode, as shown in Figure 6, can use discoideus parts as attachment.
