Embodiment
Fig. 1 represents one type cold-cathode fluorescence lamp 10, and it comprises long glass tube 11, positive electrode 12 and negative electrode 13.Electrode installs to the respective end of glass tube, and lead-in wire 16 stretches out from the end and is connected respectively to electrode.Fluorescent material 14 is coated on the inwall of pipe, and the mist that contains such as the inert gas of mercuryvapour, argon gas and neon is filled in the inner space 15 of pipe.
Fig. 2 represents to have one type external-electrode fluorescent lamp 20 of glass tube 21.Two ends of glass tube are all sealed, and electrode 22 and 23 is set as and surrounds the end from the outside.In glass tube, form electric field by electrode, to cause gas discharge.Fluorescent material 24 is coated on the inwall of glass tube, and the mist that contains such as the inert gas of mercury vapor, argon gas and neon is filled in the inner space 25 of pipe.
In order to make lamp 10 or 20, used different technology that fluorescent material is coated onto inboard and in case the coating back sealing pipe end of glass tube.In coated technique, glass tube 21 is prepared as shown in Figure 3, and then as shown in Figure 4, fluorescent material 24 is applied to the inboard of glass tube, then adds thermally-stabilised.
Below, as shown in Figure 5, the first end 21b of pipe heats to seal this pipe with blowtorch T when pipe is rotated.Then, before the technology of the second end 21a of sealed tube, as shown in Figure 6, when pipe is rotated, carry out the preliminary treatment that is used for from the heat seal " sealing area " of blowtorch T, to form interim sealing area 26.Other mode is that preliminary treatment can comprise that the tubule 27 that will have minor diameter installs to the second end 21a of pipe, as shown in Figure 7.
Carrying out preliminary treatment is for reducing the diameter of glass tube in advance.Carrying out this prior step is because in the process of sealing the second end, and glass tube is fixed to the head that is connected to gas exhaust piping or mercury filling line and therefore can not rotates glass tube in these cases.Utilize preliminary treatment, can need not to seal rotationally the second end.The diameter of temporary sealing zone 26 or tubule 27 can be about 4mm.
After finishing preliminary treatment, carry out the technology of sealed glass tube the second end as shown in Figure 7, this will describe with reference to accompanying drawing 8~10 below in more detail.
At first, as shown in Figure 8, the end of tubule 27 is installed on the head 31.The pipeline 33 (hereinafter referred to as " mercury filling line ") that this head is connected to the pipeline 32 (hereinafter referred to as " gas exhaust piping ") that is used for air-out and inert gas injecting and is used to inject liquid mercury.Before inert gas injecting, inject the technology and the exhaust air technique of Clean-gas repeatedly several times, with the inboard of cleaning glass pipe.Behind inert gas injecting and the mercury, this end of tubule 27 is heated to finish sealing technology (seeing Fig. 9,10) by blowtorch T.
The sealing technology of the second end uses equipment shown in Figure 11 to carry out.As shown in the figure, this equipment uses head 31 to keep tubule 27, gas exhaust piping 32 and mercury filling line 33.
Because before the second end of sealed glass tube, require to carry out preliminary treatment or tubule combination seal, so, above-mentioned complex process.This technology may make also pipe be easy to gas leakage or damage that therefore, the quality of final products may be inconstant, especially owing to the technology of sealing tubule is undertaken by the workman is manual.In addition, also have a problem to be, owing to temporary sealing zone or tubule inwall when injecting liquid mercury may be stained with liquid mercury, so be difficult to supply quantitatively mercury.
And although the two ends of glass tube shown in Figure 10 are all sealed, the part of tubule is still keeping.In order to remove this unnecessary portions and to form desirable shape, must in the sealing cutting equipment, seal cutting technique.
