Description

Whole HID reflector lamp
The background of invention
The present invention relates to a kind of reflector lamp of integral body, but it comprises an excited target and luminous light source, a reflector, it has a reflecting surface that is used to the light orientation that light source sends, and a lamp socket, the lamp contact is arranged on the lamp socket be electrically connected so that form with light source.
This type of lamp is common in industry, and generally includes paraboloidal reflector (PAR) lamp of for example aluminizing.The PAR light fixture has a firm lampshade and inner pressed glass reflector and pressed glass lid that reflector is formed gas-tight seal with parabolic reflector face.Light source in the past is a kind of incandescent filament.Recent light source has adopted halogen burner, and its efficient is than habitual incandescent filament height.The technology that further develops is to adopt halogen burner, it comprise cover on the burner jacket or the sleeve pipe that the burner jacket is inner or outside on infrared reflection coating.The infrared reflection that this coating will be wasted originally turns back on the filament.Will increase the temperature of filament like this, and under given power consumption, increase the output of using light.
The PAR light fixture has many different models, and has many different purposes.These purposes comprise the projection and the floodlighting of general indoor and outdoors, for example are used for building, statue, and the illumination of fountain and sports ground also is used for the accent lighting occasion, the show case of retail shop for example, hotel, restaurant and theater or the like.
As a step generally pursuing efficient energy-saving lighting, recent U.S. government's legislation (being referred to as the national energy policy bill, National Energy Policy Act " EPACT ") has stipulated to comprise the lamp efficiency value of many kinds of utility lamps of paraboloidal reflector (PAR) lamp of aluminizing.These minimum efficiency values came into force from nineteen ninety-five, had only the product that satisfies these levels of efficiency just can get permission to sell in the U.S..The efficiency value of PAR-38 incandescent lamp is worked out at various power brackets.For example, the lamp of 51-66W must satisfy every watt 11 lumen (LPW), and the lamp of 67-85W must satisfy 12.5LPW, and the lamp of 86-115W must satisfy 14LPW, and the lamp of 116-155W scope must satisfy 14.5LPW.
At present seldom can its commercial acceptable life-span can reach about 1000 hours by the EPACT standard at the PAR38 lamp that has aluminum reflectance coating and incandescent filament on the market.And can reach this level also just just surpassed minimum standard, and unlikely further essence progress arranged again.Therefore, market can turn to soon and have the halogen burner or the PAR lamp of halogen IR (infrared) burner.
Yet one of shortcoming of common halogen or halogen IR lamp is but to have only the short life-span when it satisfies efficient.For example, the average life span of general 90W lamp is about 2500 hours on the market, and the halogen IR lamp of 60W only is a little longer, reaches 3000 hours.People always wish and can prolong the life-span of lamp significantly, because the expense that more changes the bulb is easy to surpass the expense of the lamp that needs replacing itself, particularly those are installed in the lamp in the eminence light fixture.Another shortcoming is that luminous efficiency only limits to below the 20LPW.For example, the luminous efficiency of 90W halogen PAR lamp approximately is 16LPW, and the luminous efficiency with 60WPAR lamp of halogen IR burner approximately is 19LPW.If guarantee certain life-span of these lamps, the further raising of the efficient that can expect only has 5%.The highest colour temperature that a shortcoming is arranged again is exactly tungsten lamp can only be limited in 3650K, just the fusing point of tungsten.Yet in order to obtain the acceptable life-span on the market, the scope of colour temperature is limited in 2600-3000K usually.Always wish in the practice to make light fixture that different colour temperatures be arranged, lamp only in this way could adapt to special purposes.For example under sombre environment, wishing usually has warm colour temperature (for example 3000K), and possesses cool colour temperature (for example 4500K) in the next hope of warm environment.
Another kind of known reflector lamp comprises the cloche of a blowing, and comprises a kind of exposed incandescent filament.This lamp is commonly called " R " lamp, and its luminous efficiency even lower than PAR lamp approximately is the scope at 9-11PLW, and has identical colorimetry restriction.
Brief summary of the invention
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a kind of reflector lamp that can raise the efficiency.
Another object of the present invention provides a kind of reflector lamp that can improve the life-span of lamp.
A further object of the present invention provides a kind of like this reflector lamp, and its colour temperature and colour rendering or the like photometry parameter has bigger flexibility.
Another purpose of the present invention provides a kind of like this lamp, and it can use in the same light fixture of incandescent lamp and halogen PAR lamp and white heat " R " lamp.
According to the present invention, above-mentioned purpose is to realize with the sort of lamp described in claim 1 preamble.
The foregoing description provides a kind of reflector lamp, and it can be used for substituting and comprise Halogen lamp LED and the known PAR lamp with incandescent filament of halogen PAR lamp and known " R " lamp or the like, and has remarkable energy saving effect.This lamp according to present embodiment can be installed in the identical light fixture as corresponding lamp, is screwed in the identical lamp socket by screw thread, and uses identical power line voltage.So just can simplify and more change jobs.In addition,, can also assign to design gas discharge device, thereby it is obtained than known PAR lamp and the wideer colorimetry parameter of R lamp scope, for example colour temperature or the like by selecting different metal halides to be filled to except improving significantly the luminous efficiency.Like this, the designer of lamp just can obtain very big flexibility, makes this lamp can be fit to particular environment.According to a kind of embodiment of viable commercial, the profile of lamp is within the ANSI profile of PAR38 lamp basically, in the illumination in public places of this profile is extensively to adopt.
According to another embodiment, normal work period at lamp, when the frequency of electric current is lower than the lowest resonant frequency of lamp, the audio frequency resonance of the alternating current of lamp can not appear in electric discharge device, and excite discharge lamp by ballasting circuit, thereby the alternating current that makes lamp has fundamental frequency and various harmonic wave, and this harmonic wave is the integral multiple of fundamental frequency.The lowest resonant frequency of fundamental frequency and lamp (for electric current) all is higher than about 19KHz, and the amplitude of harmonic wave that is higher than the lowest resonant frequency of lamp is not enough to produce audio frequency resonance.
The HID lamp wishes to move under high-frequency ac usually, because just can dwindle the ballast inductor size of component significantly like this, and than under the 60Hz service conditions, improving whole efficiency to a certain extent, because the loss of ballast has descended.Yet it is conditional that high frequency operates in the prior art system, because audio frequency resonance can occur on the fundamental frequency of ballast or near it.The frequency that audio frequency resonance takes place depends on many factors, this size comprising discharge tube (be length, diameter, the shape of cavity end face has or not tubular body or the like), the density that gas is filled, operating temperature, and the orientation of lamp." audio frequency resonance " used herein is meant that can make electrical discharge arc produce the resonance that disturbs has reached the degree that human eye can be seen.
According to F.Bernitz at Symp.Light Sourees, the article of delivering on the Karlsruhe 1986 " An Autotracking System For Stable Hf Operation of HID Lamps " (" the HID lamp is stablized the automatic tracking system of high frequency operation usefulness "), in the known prior art system, the audio frequency resonance of electric discharge device had both appeared at low frequency and intermediate frequency range (for example 100-500Hz and 5000-7000Hz) also appears at the high-frequency range that is higher than 19KHz.The discharge tube that quartz is made has the very limited narrow human window that is limited by high-end and low side frequency, and this high and low frequency boundary that audio frequency resonance occurs depends on the strictness control of size.Because discharge tube is that quartz glass is made, in high-speed production, be difficult to size is carried out strict control.Therefore, even the electric discharge device of same type and power, the designer of system also can face narrow human window problem, and this window is different to the lamp of different manufacturers not only, and the lamp that same manufacturer produces also is different.Prior art system mainly is to rely on complicated detection, and adopts the scheme of avoiding the operation of audio frequency resonance.Yet, the circuit of this type systematic not only costliness but also complexity, thus bulky, and can not be applicable to whole lamp.
Yet, according to the foregoing description, the present invention is verified can be selected arc discharge device, its minimum audio frequency resonance frequency (for electric current) is appeared on the frequency of 19KHz audio frequency, in one embodiment, this frequency is 30KHz, so just can operate safely in the window more than 19KHz and between the lowest resonant frequency.Fairly simple with regard to obtaining like this, the compact and cheap ballasting circuit of expense does not need complicated detection or operating scheme.
It should be noted that audio frequency resonance is that power by lamp causes technically, just the product of the electric current of lamp and voltage.Therefore, audio frequency resonance power available frequency determines, this frequency is two times of power frequency of lamp normally.Yet for the given electric discharge device that uses on given ballast, the lamp current frequency of correspondence was to determine easily when audio frequency resonance took place.Therefore, represent the audio frequency resonance frequency with the power frequency of lamp and the power-frequency of lamp in this article, and as long as given one of them just can determine the another one frequency according to above-mentioned 1: 2 relation.
Of the present invention another according to being that audio frequency resonance not only can be produced by the first-harmonic driving frequency, also can produce by the harmonic wave of the output current (or power) of ordinary electronic ballast.Even fundamental frequency is lower than the resonance frequency of lamp significantly, but the harmonic wave that is higher than the lowest resonant frequency of lamp and has enough amplitudes still can cause audio frequency resonance.Therefore, in order there not to be the operation of resonance, any harmonic wave that surpasses the lowest resonant frequency of lamp in the drive signal of ballast must have enough low amplitude, in order to avoid cause audio frequency resonance.
In yet another embodiment, ballast makes fundamental frequency keep constant basically during the steady operation of lamp.So just can save and be used in the prior art system charge and frequency scanning and many control elements of keeping firm power, thereby further reduce the cost and the size of the ballast of lamp.
Preferably include a kind of wall of pottery on the discharge tube, said herein " ceramic wall " is meant the wall that a kind of refractory material is made, monocrystal metal oxide (for example sapphire) for example, polycrystalline metal oxide (Zhi Mi polycrystal sintered alumina for example; Yttrium-aluminium gold emery, or yittrium oxide), and polycrystal non-oxidized substance material (for example aluminium nitride).These materials allow the temperature of wall to reach the high temperature of 1400-1600K, and are enough to tolerate the chemical erosion of halide, halogen and Na (sodium).The advantage of doing like this is to adopt undersized ceramic material discharge tube.The tolerance that allows when in addition, using ceramic material is more much smaller than the tolerance of habitual quartz glass compact technique.Reducing tolerance helps to make audio frequency resonance characteristic and colorimetric performance between lamp and the lamp that better consistency is arranged.
Electric discharge device according to another embodiment comprises a cylindrical central region with end wall.By an axial distance " L " separately, the internal diameter of center is " ID ", and the ratio of L: ID approximately is 1: 1 between the end wall.The lamp that has this center in ceramic discharge tube is known, and for example No. 5424609, (people's such as Gevens) U.S. Pat.Yet the center of this disclosed lamp inside is not 1: 1, but longer narrower, the ratio of its L: ID was more than or equal to 4: 3.The inventor finds that about 1: 1 ratio has good effect for the lowest resonance frequency of lamp.According to this ratio, vertically the first audio frequency resonance of (by size L control) with radially and the first audio frequency resonance of horizontal direction (ID controls by size) coincide basically.In general, when ratio departed from 1: 1 gradually, bigger size can make radially/level or vertically on audio frequency resonance appears separately and frequency reduce, determined the lowest resonant frequency of lamp thus.
According to a very good embodiment, comprise a plurality of discharge tubes in the system, its lowest resonance frequency (for electric current) separately and is subjected to the excitation of ballast and simultaneously luminous all more than about 19KHz.Known to the inventor, in the electric discharge device of any practicality of making, can surpass about 19KHz to the lowest resonance frequency neither one of electric current with quartz glass.In addition, even adopt above-mentioned about 1: 1 L that has: the ceramic discharge tube of ID ratio, according to the inventor's expectation, the maximum rated power of this electric discharge device of lowest resonance frequency (for electric current) more than 19KHz approximately is 35 watts.The meaning of present embodiment is the light output variable that can provide higher relatively, but still can work more than 19KHz and audio frequency resonance can not occur.
Preferably a plurality of electric discharge devices are packed in the same cover of lamp.Electric discharge device can adopt the electrical connection of series connection.The electric discharge device that is connected in series can guarantee that each device has identical lamp current.
In yet another embodiment, reflector lamp comprises the discharge tube that a plurality of (for example a pair of) are connected in parallel on electric.In this structure, one of them electric discharge device meeting ignition, another then can not lighted a fire.Yet when the end-of-life of an electric discharge device, another electric discharge device will ignition, thereby can prolong its life-span effectively makes it reach the integral multiple of the electric discharge device number that has.Another advantage of this mode is to trigger the lamp that is using once more in moment, because when an electric discharge device extinguishes, another colder electric discharge device of burning will not lighted a fire originally.
Preferably have auxiliary starting device on the discharge tube, the one end extends round the closed plug construction of a prolongation of discharge tube, and second end is directly connected on the lead-in wire on opposite.
Light source according to another embodiment is a kind of high-pressure discharge device, and
This lamp further comprises
(i) glass lamp shade of a compacting, it adopts the air tight manner sealing, and holds the high-pressure discharge device, and the glass lamp shade of compacting comprises a reflector with reflecting surface,
(ii) a housing is loaded with lamp socket on its first end, and the second end is used to admit lampshade, and
(iii) be used to the ballast that encourages electric discharge device luminous, ballast is installed in enclosure interior, be between the glass lamp shade and first end of compacting, comprise pair of input terminals on the ballast, be electrically connected to contact corresponding on the lamp socket separately, and pair of output, be electrically connected to electric discharge device respectively
Lampshade is accommodated in the second end of housing, and the position of its reflecting surface can reflect away the light and heat that electric discharge device produces from ballast.
Even have been found that under study for action that at lamp socket the glass-reflected body of compacting still can be taken away most of heat that electric discharge device produces from ballast components up under the state of (base-up).This has benefited from the thickness of reflecting surface itself and pressed glass.In contrast to this, the sort of described in No. 4490649, the U.S. Pat do not have the thin-walled glass cover of the blowing of reflecting surface need be in cover inner glass dividing plate of installation with IR reflectance coating so that obtain suitable ballast temperature.The structure of this mode is very complicated, must pass dividing plate because be connected to the lead-in wire of electric discharge device.
Overall lamp according to another embodiment comprises a circuit board, and the circuit element of ballast is installed on its first side and second side, and circuit board is installed in enclosure interior, and its first side is facing to reflector, and second side is facing to lamp socket.Circuit board in housing reflector and circuit board between define one first cabin, and between circuit board and lamp socket, define one second cabin, circuit board is atresia basically, and be fixed on the housing, be used to stop the circulation of air between interior first cabin of housing and second cabin.The advantage of this structure is that circuit board can play the effect of airflow barrier, prevents air circulation, and the rear surface that generates heat on the prevention reflector is transmitted heat by enclosure interior to flowing to circuit element.What U.S. Pat adopted for No. 4490649 is a kind of circuit board of axial installation, and an additional insulating material body is arranged between circuit board in housing and the lampshade, compares with it, of the present invention relatively simple for structure.
In yet another embodiment, ballast adopts the constant DC lamp current of polarity to make the electric discharge device operation.The advantage of doing like this is audio frequency resonance can not occur, so just can alleviate the restriction with the aspects such as shape of the electric arc tube of high-frequency AC operation, still can adopt compact circuit simultaneously, makes compact integral inverted shot-light.
Can be well understood to above-mentioned and other aspects, feature and advantage thereof of the present invention referring to accompanying drawing and detailed description hereinafter.

Under the nominal working conditions of lamp, the lowest resonant frequency of this discharge tube is (for the electric current of lamp) more than 30KHz.Existing two groups of audio frequency resonance herein, at first is on length (axially) direction at discharge tube, secondly is the resonance of level/radially.Ideal situation is to make the lowest resonant frequency of each group substantially the same, because the upper limit of ballast operation window is to be determined by minimum resonance frequency.Fundamental frequency is by fl0=C/ (2 longitudinally *L) determine that the fundamental frequency of and level/radially is by far0=1.84 *C/ (π *ID) determine that as shown in Figure 2, " L " wherein and " ID " are the length and the internal diameters of discharge space, and " C " is the speed of sound.Yet the speed of sound depends on the temperature gradient of gas in the discharge space, and find it vertically with level/be different in the radial direction.The inventor finds that according to test for the discharge tube with above-mentioned filler, vertically the velocity of sound of resonance approximately is 420m/s, and in level/approximately be 400m/s in the radial direction.For the discharge tube of above-mentioned specific 3mm * 3mm L: ID, fl0 ≈ 70KHz, far0 ≈ 80KHz (for power-frequency).The power frequency of their difference corresponding 35 and 40KHz, and can be considered to enough approaching and substantially the same.Yet more approaching in order to make it, diameter ID can do to such an extent that be a bit larger tham length L, like this can the reduction level/radially fundamental frequency, and make it near fundamental resonant frequency longitudinally.Therefore, in lamp of the present invention, the size L of discharge tube and ID preferably can satisfy the relation of L≤ID≤1.2L.
The insertion depth that also it is noted that electrode in addition is very little to the influence of minimum audio frequency resonance ratio, and the degree of depth of insertion only is the influence of second to the 3rd order of magnitude.
Because the bigger frequency window of existence between the lowest resonance frequency of discharge tube 3 and 19KHz audio frequency, ballast can have constant frequency at the duration of work of lamp, so just can simplify its structure and cost greatly.To the further specifying of above-mentioned electric discharge device, the first-harmonic operating frequency of lamp current is selected at the rated value of 24KHz according to following.The headroom of about 5KHz so just is provided for the 30KHz lowest resonant frequency of electric discharge device.Also relate on the other hand the high order harmonic component amplitude of fundamental frequency is controlled, produce audio frequency resonance to prevent these high order harmonic components.This problem can be discussed following in to the explanation of ballast.
Ballast
Fig. 3 represents to be used for to make the block diagram of a high-frequency lamp ballast of the lamp work of Fig. 1.The input I of ballast 1, I 2Be connected to rectification circuit 110 by input lead 310,311, provide a DC input to DC-AC inverter 120.Resonance output circuit 130 is connected to the discharge tube 3 of Fig. 1 by conductive support 240,241, and is connected to the DC-AC inverter.Control circuit 140 control inverters 120 make the lamp igniting, and make lamp be operated in the lamp current frequency of substantial constant after igniting, and this frequency is higher than 19KHz, and is lower than the lowest resonant frequency of lamp.Ballast comprises a soft starting circuit, is used to produce the ignition voltage that increases gradually.A low-tension supply (not shown) provides the operating power of control circuit during circuit start-up period before the inverter starting oscillation and inverter oscillation.Halt circuit 150 turn-offs inverter stage, and is provided as the start pulse of discharge tube 3 igniting again when detecting discharge tube 3 and extinguish.Be 50ms the time rating of the firing pulse that provides, and specified pulse repetition frequency is 400ms.
Inverter 120 preferably adopts the inverter that switch mosfet is connected into the semibridge system of plug-type output.The output of the semi-bridge type inverter of drawing from two mid points of semi-bridge type inverter be a kind of high frequency be the signal of square wave basically.
Resonance output circuit 130 is a kind of LC-networks, and comprises the primary coil of an inductor, and inductor and starting capacitance are connected in series between the mid point.Resonant circuit is tuned on the triple-frequency harmonics of operating frequency.Discharge tube 3 is electrically connected in parallel with starting capacitance.The LC-network has waveform shaping and current-limiting function, and provides lamp current with the high frequency square wave output that appears at each mid point of semi-bridge type inverter to discharge tube 3.
Control circuit 140 is being controlled the switching frequency and the pulse duration of switch mosfet, is used constant basically frequency that the electric current of lamp is provided to discharge tube 3 after lighting a fire at lamp.
Ballast produces the original frequency of about 28KHz during connecting.So just can make effectively be tuned to the LC-network imbalance of resonance output circuit 130 of triple-frequency harmonics (approximately 72KHz) of 24KHz nominal operation frequency.Like this, switch mosfet just can be connected under the disresonance state, and more much smaller than the electric current under the resonance condition by the electric current of these switches.Through after about 10ms, the frequency of inverter is moved to the scope of design of 24KHz, makes discharge tube 3 igniting.
Halt circuit 150 provides the impulse ignition voltage of 50ms.This halt circuit comprises a switch Q1, when switch Q1 conducting, just the low-tension supply of control circuit has been removed.Switch Q1 is controlled by the overvoltage on the secondary coil that appears at inductance.In producing the process of firing pulse, if not igniting of electric discharge device, if or discharge tube extinguishes during inverter oscillation, just this overvoltage may appear.The overvoltage at secondary coil two ends can make switch Q1 conducting.
The efficient of lamp: photometry parameter
Above-mentioned PAR38 embodiment has the system power of 22W, the about 20W of lamp consumption, and the loss of ballast approximately is 2W.Photometry and colorimetry parameter that table 1 has compared the 90W halide PAR38 on this lamp (INV.) and the market and had the 60WPAR38 of halide IR burner.Represented two kinds of known blow-molded glass reflectors or " R " lamp in addition, a kind of is 85WVR40, and another kind is 120W VR40.Data according to above-mentioned each lamp of the present invention obtain according to one group 20 samplings.The light that various sample light signals send have 3000K correlated colour temperature (CCT) and>85 colour rendering index (CRI).The luminous efficiency of lamp is 60LPW.Compare with the 60W PAR38 lamp with halide IR burner, luminous efficiency has improved 233%, has improved 314% than 90W halide PAR38 lamp.In addition, the life expectancy of electric discharge device approximately is 10,000 hours, and this is known 60W halide IR and 3 to 4 times of 90W halide PAR38 lamp.
Table 1
Lamp Power (W) Lumen Efficient (LPW) Expansion (floodlight) degree ??CCT ??K ???CRI

Clearly, the life-span of this overall lamp and luminous efficiency have all surpassed the halide on the market and the incandescent lamp of halide IR PAR lamp and blow-molded glass reflector significantly.In addition, by filling component with known metal halide process reform electric discharge device, the designer of lamp on the problem of control photometry parameter than adopting the incandescent filament alight to have bigger control ability, particularly for the control problem of correlated colour temperature.
Employing has the metal halide electric discharge device of ceramic wall and a lower powered significant advantage and is that (a) is with respect to the burning position and (b) consistency of the tangible colorimetry between lamp and the lamp.This consistency can be thought to obtain owing to physical size is less, during operation, little size can form the more uniform temperature characteristic in the filler of lamp, and in manufacture process at a high speed, can keep the strict size Control of ceramic material, so just can obtain the consistency between lamp and the lamp.Find that after deliberation the size of ceramic discharge tube can remain on 1% with interior (six sigmas), and the size of common quartz arc tube technology only can be controlled at about 10%.
Fig. 4 (A) and 4 (B) are respectively the CCT and the CRI curves of typical low-power ceramic metal halide (CDM) lamp and typical quartz metal halide lamp, function with burning position represents, and burning position be with depart from vertical lamp socket up the angle of (VBU) burning position represent.From CCT, in the scope that departs from the VBU0-90 degree, the variation of quartz lamp approximately is 600K, and the variation of CDM lamp only has 75K.Equally, concerning CRI, when variation about 10CRI appearred in quartz metal halide lamp, the variation of CDM lamp only had 2.5CRI.
In addition, for the color stability between lamp and the lamp, has the color temperature standard deviation of 30K usually with the low wattage metal halide of ceramic discharge tube.For the low watt metal halide lamp with quartz arc tube, the deviation of standard is up to 150-300K.Very narrow colour temperature dispersiveness is important, is used for indoor and halide PAR lamp shop illumination because it can make the overall lamp with ceramic metal halide electric discharge device become acceptable lamp to substitute.In fact, if use many reflector lamps with ceramic discharge device, for example they are contained in the ceiling, they look like basically consistent, not the such people of the image-stone English metal halide lamp significant difference between lamp and the lamp as can be seen.
Be to have realized improvement to monnolithic case to make it can be suitable within the profile of respective type lamp fully according to an importance of overall lamp of the present invention; Present embodiment represented to pack into the situation of PAR38 lamp of ANSI specification.Whole PAR38 HID lamp like this can upgrade in all light fixtures of packing into for common PAR38 lamp design.Fig. 5 has represented to be superimposed upon the profile of the lamp of the Fig. 1 on the PAR38 lamp of ANSI specification profile.Its size (mm) is: P1=135; P2=135; P3=28.2; P4=40.4; P5=26.8; P6=48.8; P7=540.
There are several features to make such encapsulation become easy.It at first is the small-sized HID light source that has adopted total length very little.The total length of 20W electric arc tube is 22mm.So little total length allows electric arc tube is laterally located with respect to optical axis in reflector inside, reflector is enclosed within meet in the shell that has the maximal margin size within the ANSI specification.In this PAR 38 embodiment, the reflector 227 of sealing is a PAR36 lampshade, from the edge 231 measure inside diameter be 96mm.Outside diameter approximately is 110mm.This horizontal mounting means also allows to use axially thin reflector, for ballast leaves enough spaces.
Use the thicker pressed glass reflector of rear wall can obtain effective heat-insulating property, prevent that the energy of electric discharge device radiation from causing ballast overheated in conjunction with the reflectance coating that is located on the rear wall.In this case, the minimum thickness of reflector base part is 3mm.The outward flange of circuit board closely is fixed on the shoulder 255, so just can delay effectively near first cabin " A " of the heat of reflector to the air circulation that is in second cabin " B " circuit board and the lamp socket, thereby provide extra heat to protect.The temperature that records from lampshade inside under lamp socket mode of operation up is enough low, can guarantee that the life-span of circuit reaches the level of discharge tube 3.In general, the maximum temperature of circuit should be lower than 100 ℃.In above-mentioned lamp, the temperature that records from reflector one side of circuit board 320 is 83 ℃, and the temperature of ballast components one side is 75 ℃.Among the cabin B between the lampshade of circuit board and ballast one side, the temperature of air is 74 ℃.The maximum temperature of circuit element is 81 ℃.
Can help the photometry parameter is controlled in the heavy wall pressed glass cover inside of inflation and the thermal conditioning effect of the quilt cover circumference of cannon bone discharge tube 3 of living, allow lamp in the range of environmental conditions of broad, to work, and not have the variation of tangible photometry parameter.
The little physical size of discharge tube and the L of 1: 1 grade: the ID size is also very important concerning the size of dwindling ballast effectively.Concerning the electric current of discharge tube, its minimum acoustic resonance frequency frequency approximately is 30KHz, so just has enough windows that ballast is operated in more than the 19KHz, and keeps the frequency of ballast constant at the duration of work of lamp.The importance of high-frequency work is to dwindle the physical size of ballast inductor element.Be operated in the control that to simplify the ballast inverter on the fixing frequency, thereby dwindle its size (and cost).
In Fig. 1, discharge tube 3 is located in the lampshade 227 of an inflation, and lampshade is sealed with lid 233, and discharge tube is surrounded by quartz glass sleeve, and is supporting with the intercell connector that is connected to lead-in wire 240,241.
The main reason that lampshade 227 is sealed is to prevent to go between 40,50 and 240,241 generation oxidations.If have anti-oxidation protective finish on the lead-in wire, also can adopt so not tight gas-tight seal modes such as epoxy sealing to replace glass welded seal on the edge 231.
In addition, by the control of enough heat, the HID reflector lamp that is fixed within the corresponding profile of lamp also can be with other reflectors formations except that glass, for example a kind of high temperature plastics with reflectance coating, for example deposition of aluminum or silver on high temperature plastics, or adopt mylar sheet.Reflector/surface can be used as the integral part of shell and constitutes.
Fig. 6 (A) represents a plurality of (being two among the figure) discharge tube 3 (a), and 3 (b) are connected electrically in the mounting structure of reflector inside as shown in Figure 1 with series system.Adopted identical label with corresponding elements among Fig. 1.One end 40 (a) of discharge tube 3 (a) is fixed on the lead-in wire 240, and an end 50 (b) of discharge tube 3 (b) is connected to another lead-in wire 241.Be connected in series be by frame at discharge tube 3 (a), the lead-in wire 50 (a) of 3 (b) and the conducting element 403 on 40 (b) are finished.Element 401,402nd, nonconducting, be used to provide additional mechanical support.Do not express ignition-assist apparatus 260 for simplification.When two discharge tubes were worked simultaneously, lamp provided about two times light output.The lowest resonant frequency of each discharge tube is about 30KHz, and ballast rated frequency is provided is the lamp current of 24KHz, therefore can not produce audio frequency resonance.Rated power that it should be noted that single discharge tube is 40W, is equivalent to the discharge tube of two 20W, and its minimum lamp resonance frequency is lower than the resonance frequency of two discharge tubes of each 20W significantly more near 19KHz or be lower than 19KHz.Therefore,, just can more than 19KHz, keep very big no resonant operation window, still keep more powerful lamp simultaneously to obtain bigger light output if use two discharge tubes.Although only represented two discharge tubes in the drawings, it also is possible that plural discharge tube is worked simultaneously, only need carry out suitable modification to circuit, so that light a fire accurately and operating voltage for lamp provides.In order to improve firing characteristic, in lamp, also other ignition-assist apparatus can be installed, for example known UV booster.
The a pair of discharge tube 3 (a) that Fig. 6 (B) expression is electrically connected with parallel way, the mounting structure of 3 (b).In this case, criss-cross excellent 240 (a) of conduction are separately arranged on the lead-in wire 240,241,241 (b) are electrically connected to lead-in wire 40 (a) separately, 40 (b); 50 (a), 50 (b), and to discharge tube 3 (a), 3 (b) play the mechanical support effect.This parallel-connection structure can make the life-span of lamp double effectively, and this is because the impedance between the discharge tube has difference slightly, therefore only has a discharge tube can light a fire with luminous.When the end-of-life of a discharge tube, another discharge tube just can be taken over.The triggering function again of moment can also be provided like this.For example, if the discharge tube of working is owing to power interruptions is extinguished, because temperature is than higher, its impedance may be very big, thereby can not light a fire.Yet originally the temperature of another discharge tube of work is not much lower, therefore than being easier to igniting.
The advantage of DC operation is to have avoided audio frequency resonance fully, and very simple.Yet its shortcoming is that along with the variation of operating position and to containing the sensitiveness that moves of salt ion, the electric discharge device of DC operation is responsive more to change in color.
Abovely represent and the HID lamp with ceramic discharge device that illustrates has qualified colorimetry and photometry output in 5000 hours the course of work with reference to Fig. 1.
