Abstract

A highly safe fluorescent lamp is disclosed, in a mixed layer having couplings of phosphors and a metal oxide such as yttrium oxide is formed on the inner surface of a glass bulb. The couplings of the mixed layer strongly couples the grains arranged in crosslinked state between the phosphor grains of the phosphor material. A first thin film of the metal oxide is formed between the glass bulb and the mixed layer. A second thin film of the same metal oxide is formed on the inner surface of the mixed layer nearer to the bulb center. The amount of mercury sealed in the glass bulb thus is reduced, thereby minimizing the mercury consumption which has so far been the problem against environmental protection.

The present invention relates to fluorescent lamp and manufacture method thereof.
Usually, in fluorescent lamp,, adopt the light of the excitation wavelength 254nm that is enclosed in mercury wherein for making the fluorescent material that is coated in the lamp container inner face of forming by glass bulb etc. luminous.Yet, because mercury can usually, be enclosed the excessive mercury greater than luminous necessary amount owing to being consumed by fluorescent material absorption, oxidation etc. in glass bulb.
But mercury is environmentally harmful material, so be advisable so that its use amount is controlled at the least possible degree.
In the prior art, known have the method that prevents that the melanism that caused by mercury and luminous flux from reducing, but the method that prevents that is consumed at mercury is not arranged.
The open communique of Japan Patent discloses a kind of technology that forms overlay film on phosphor layer for 1992 No. 245162, but because described overlay film is a sand class material, is difficult for preventing the intrusion of mercury, and does not reduce the effect of mercury consumption amount.
The present inventor finds that in existing fluorescent lamp, mercury is adsorbed by fluorescent material basically and consumes.That is to say that available Figure 13 of mercury consumption quantitative analysis result of existing fluorescent lamp (40W) is represented.
The objective of the invention is to, it is luminous required minimum fluorescent lamp of limiting the quantity of and manufacture method thereof by the amount of mercury that fluorescent material adsorbs, has that a kind of mercury that prevents is provided.
In fluorescent lamp of the present invention, the surface at the phosphor layer that is positioned at the inner inner surface of enclosing the lamp container that mercury is arranged is formed with by the silicon dioxide of the 254nm resonant line that can see through mercury or the diaphragm that metal oxide constitutes.
In addition, fluorescent lamp of the present invention is enclosed in inside on the inner surface of the lamp container that mercury is arranged the silicon dioxide of the 254nm resonant line that can see through mercury or the hybrid films of metal oxide and fluorescent material.
Also have, fluorescent lamp manufacturing method of the present invention is on the phosphor layer of the inner surface that is positioned at lamp container, forms the permeable diaphragm that is made of silicon dioxide or metal oxide of 254nm resonant line of one deck mercury with siloxanes or alkoxide.
Another kind of fluorescent lamp manufacturing method of the present invention is the above-mentioned alkoxide of beta-diketon coordination thing replacement with metal nitrate, metal sulfate, metal carboxylate, metal.
In the present invention, the diaphragm of phosphor layer is made up of silicon dioxide or metal oxide, can add foreign matter of phosphor or boron in this diaphragm.This diaphragm can prevent that mercury is by phosphor layer absorption (entering between the particle of fluorescent material).
That is, owing to be formed with said protection film on phosphor layer, phosphor layer and mercury are isolated next.Therefore, the chemometamorphism of the phosphor layer that is caused by mercury absorption is suppressed, and, also be inhibited by the mercury consumption that is caused by fluorescent material absorption and oxidation.
Also have and since said protection film use with the low element of the chemical affinity of mercury as constitute, thereby, can prevent chemical combination with mercury.
