Definitions

  • the invention relates to a high-pressure discharge lamp with a lamp bulb made of quartz, which surrounds the electrodes made of tungsten and a noble gas, to the rotationally symmetrical discharge space of which a cylindrical bulb shaft is connected on the two opposite sides in the longitudinal axis and each bulb shaft at its end together with one arranged on the lamp axis Electrode rod, which is provided with the electrode projecting into the discharge space, is sealed in a gastight manner by melting, a support element surrounding the electrode rod being arranged with play within the bulb shaft and a compression spring being provided to fix the position thereof in the direction of the lamp longitudinal axis.
  • the object of the present invention is to arrange the support element in such a way and to secure it against axial displacement in such a way that neither complicated adjustment processes nor deformation work has to be carried out on the discharge vessel.
  • the compression spring is arranged non-positively between the electrode and the support element, whereby this rests resiliently with the end face facing away from the compression spring against part of the melt.
  • the length of the support element is preferably dimensioned such that its end face facing the discharge space essentially seals it off from the piston skirt.
  • the guiding properties of the support element within the piston skirt are also significantly improved in that its length is advantageously greater or at least as large as its diameter.
  • the ratio of the length of the support element to the diameter is constant, while with larger power levels this is the case
  • End of the support element facing the discharge space has a larger diameter - for example in the form of a stepped and rounded section - than the end facing away from the discharge space.
  • the support element consists of a material with a high melting point and a coefficient of expansion similar to that of the discharge vessel. Quartz or ceramic, for example, is particularly suitable for this.
  • a metal with a high melting point such as tungsten, is used for the compression spring.
  • the construction has the advantage that no heat treatments of any kind are required to deform the discharge vessel, neither in the prefabrication nor in the fully assembled and melted lamp, which, because of the specific properties of the material, can only be carried out by highly qualified specialists. Since the support element rests on part of the melt, only the electrode spacing in the discharge space needs to be taken into account when mounting and melting the lamp feet into the discharge vessel. The length of the support element is chosen such that almost the entire cavity in the piston skirt is not accessible for the discharge. This results in the further advantages that tilting of the support elements and thus mechanical damage to the inner surface of the piston skirt during assembly are excluded and the volume to be filled with inert gas is significantly reduced. In addition, these masses located behind the electrodes form cold spots at which evaporated tungsten of the electrodes can condense without a negative influence on the amount of light emitted.
  • the gas-tight seal consists of the glazing 9 or 10, the dome 11 (only visible on the cathode side) and the ends of the piston shafts 7, 8.
  • a supporting element is in each case surrounded on the electrode rods 3, 4 and by the piston shafts 9, 10
  • a capillary tube 12, 13 made of quartz which is pressed by means of a pressure spring 14, 15 made of tungsten between the anode 5 or the cathode 6 and the capillary tube 12, 13 to the associated glazing 9, 10.
  • the capillary tubes 12 and 13 have a length L of 25 mm and 20 mm and a diameter D of approximately 7.5 mm.
  • the high-pressure discharge lamp 1 is closed by a pump tip 16 located on the bulb shaft 7.
  • the electrode rod 4 located outside the melting point is connected to a via a connecting piece 17 outer current lead 18 connected as a strand. Both lamp ends are provided with a base sleeve 19 or 20.
  • An ignition wire 21 is guided outside the discharge space 2 and wraps around the respective bulb shafts 7 and 8.
  • a typical high-pressure discharge lamp has a xenon filling pressure of approximately 10 bar and is operated on direct voltage with an electrical power of 500 W.
  • a lamp base (see also FIG. 2) for a high-pressure discharge lamp 1 is produced in a simple manner.
  • the electrode rod 4 made of tungsten is first provided with a glazing 10.
  • the glazing 10 has a smaller coefficient of expansion compared to the tungsten.
  • the dome 11 to be applied subsequently consists of one or more transition glasses, each with a further lower expansion coefficient.
  • the last material to be applied, like the bead 22, is quartz glass.
  • the end of the piston skirt 8 is later melted onto the bead 22.
  • the capillary tube 24 made of quartz and having a rounded shoulder 23 in the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 2 is pushed onto the electrode rod 4.
  • the capillary tube 24 has a length L of approximately 20 mm and a largest diameter D of approximately 10 mm.
  • the ratio of the length L to the diameter D is 2.0 on the side facing the discharge space and is thus smaller than on the side facing away from the discharge space.
  • the capillary tube 24 is easily displaceable on the electrode rod 4.
  • the compression spring 15 made of tungsten is pushed onto the electrode rod 4, likewise easily displaceable.
  • the cathode 6 is attached to the free-standing end of the electrode rod 4, the compression spring 15 is under slight tension and the capillary tube 24 is permanently pressed against the glazing 10.
  • the foot thus finished is pushed into the cylindrical piston shaft 8 and, after appropriate positioning in the discharge space 2, is fused in a conventional manner.
  • the second lamp side is produced in a similar manner, only the distance between the electrodes 5 and 6 having to be adjusted when this lamp foot is melted into the bulb shaft 7.
  • the protruding tube piece 25 made of quartz is removed before further processing to the finished lamp.
