Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Metalldampfhochdruckentladungslampe gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a high-pressure metal vapor discharge lamp according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die Verwendung von Wärmestauschilden zur Verbesserung der Farbtemperatur ist insbesondere bei Lampen kleiner Leistung erforderlich, da die hier entwickelte Eigenwärme häufig nicht mehr ausreicht, um den benötigten hohen Dampfdruck des Amalgams im Innern des Entladungsgefäßes zu erreichen. Dem Fachmann auf dem Lampenbausektor sind die Vorteile solcher Wärmestauschilder seit langem bekannt. Aus der DE-OS 29 28 067 ist ein den Entladungsraum mit einem bestimmten Abstand zylinderförmig umgebendes Wärmestauschild bekannt, über dessen Befestigung keine Angaben gemacht sind. Das Wärmestauschild in der DE-PS 29 35 980 umgibt den Elektrodenraum eng anliegend und wird mittels zweier zur Stirnseite des Entladungsgefäßes umgebogener Laschen festgeklemmt. Aus der US-PS 4 464 603 sind Wärmestauschilde in Form von eng umgebenden Metallhülsen bekannt, deren eines Ende die Abschlußscheibe und deren anderes Ende das Entladungsgefäß umfassen. Die Fixierung der Metallhülsen erfolgt mittels Glaslot.
In der EP-PA 83 201 801.4 ist ein den Entladungsraum zylindrisch und mit Abstand umgebendes Wärmestauschild beschrieben, das über eine Glasperle und zwei Verbindungsstäbe am Haltedraht elektrisch isoliert befestigt ist. Bei allen bekannten Befestigungsarten des Wärmestauschildes sind entweder hohe Aufwendungen an Material und/oder Zeit erforderlich oder die Positionierung durch Klemmung ist nicht gesichert. Im ersteren Fall entstehen erhöhte Fertigungskosten, während bei der Klemmbefestigung des Wärmestauschildes Erschütterungen der Lampe zu Brennspannungsänderungen und damit zu von den Sollwerten abweichenden Betriebsparametern führen.
The use of heat exchange plates to improve the color temperature is particularly necessary for lamps of low power, since the inherent heat developed here is often no longer sufficient to achieve the required high vapor pressure of the amalgam inside the discharge vessel. The advantages of such heat exchange plates have long been known to the person skilled in the lamp construction sector. From DE-OS 29 28 067 a heat exchange plate surrounding the discharge space with a certain distance is known, about the fastening of which no information is given. The heat exchange plate in DE-PS 29 35 980 surrounds the electrode space closely and is clamped by means of two tabs bent over to the front of the discharge vessel. From US Pat. No. 4,464,603, heat exchange shields in the form of closely surrounding metal sleeves are known, one end of which comprises the cover plate and the other end of which comprises the discharge vessel. The metal sleeves are fixed using glass solder.
EP-PA 83 201 801.4 describes a heat exchange plate which is cylindrical and surrounds the discharge space and is fastened to the holding wire in an electrically insulated manner by means of a glass bead and two connecting rods. With all known types of attachment of the heat exchange plate are either high expenses in terms of material and / or time required, or positioning by clamping is not ensured. In the former case, there are increased production costs, while when the heat exchange plate is fastened, vibrations of the lamp lead to changes in the operating voltage and thus to operating parameters which deviate from the target values.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Befestigung des Wärmestauschildes einfacher und sicherer zu gestalten, um einerseits die Betriebswerte der Lampen in engeren Toleranzen halten zu können und andererseits eine Senkung der Herstellkosten zu ermöglichen.The object of the invention is to make the attachment of the heat exchange shield simpler and safer, on the one hand to be able to keep the operating values of the lamps within narrow tolerances and on the other hand to enable a reduction in the manufacturing costs.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Metalldampfhochdruckentladungslampe mit den im Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs genannten Merkmalen dadurch gelöst, daß mittels des zur Abdichtung der Enden des Entladungsgefäßes verwendeten Glaslots auch die Fixierung der Wärmestauschilde vorgenommen ist. Das jeweilige Wärmestauschild umgibt das Ende des Entladungsgefäßes in Form einer Manschette, wobei die Fixierung im Bereich eines Randes der Manschette erfolgt und das flüssige Glaslot in den durch die Manschette und das Entladungsgefäß gebildeten Spalt definiert einfließt. An dem für die Fixierung vorgesehenen Rand des manschettenförmigen Wärmestauschildes sind zur Längsachse des Entladungsgefäßes hin abgewinkelte Laschen vorgesehen, die an der Stirnfläche des rohrförmigen Entladungsgefäßes anliegen. Hierdurch wird während des Einschmelzvorganges eine gute Zentrierung und genaue Justierung der Manschette erreicht. Bei dem fertig eingeschmolzenen Entladungsgefäß besteht so ein inniger Wärmekontakt zur Manschette. Die durch die Manschette bewirkte Dampfdruckerhöhung des Amalgams ist jederzeit reproduzierbar, wodurch die Brennspannung der Lampe in geringen Toleranzen gehalten werden kann. Darüber hinaus bewirkt die Manschette eine schnellere und gleichmäßigere Aufheizung der Einschmelzung, da das Keramikrohr von der Manschette umgeben ist und diese aus dem gleichen Material (Niob) wie die Stromzuführung besteht. Als weiteren Vorteil kann man werten, daß sich mit einem Typ von Keramikrohr bei unterschiedlicher Gestaltung der Länge der Manschette unterschiedliche Leistungsstufen herstellen lassen. Die Manschette liegt mindestens in dem für die Fixierung vorgesehenen Randbereich am rohrförmigen Entladungsgefäß an. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist der dem Entladungsraum zugewandte größere Teil der Manschette einen gewissen Abstand zum Entladungsgefäß auf.This object is achieved in a metal vapor high-pressure discharge lamp with the features mentioned in the preamble of the main claim in that the heat exchange shields are also fixed by means of the glass solder used for sealing the ends of the discharge vessel. The respective heat exchange shield surrounds the end of the discharge vessel in the form of a cuff, the fixation taking place in the region of an edge of the cuff and the liquid glass solder in those formed by the cuff and the discharge vessel Gap defined flows. On the edge of the sleeve-shaped heat exchange plate provided for the fixation, tabs angled toward the longitudinal axis of the discharge vessel are provided, which abut the end face of the tubular discharge vessel. As a result, good centering and precise adjustment of the sleeve is achieved during the melting process. When the discharge vessel is melted down, there is an intimate thermal contact with the cuff. The increase in vapor pressure of the amalgam caused by the cuff can be reproduced at any time, as a result of which the operating voltage of the lamp can be kept within narrow tolerances. In addition, the sleeve causes the melting to heat up more quickly and evenly, since the ceramic tube is surrounded by the sleeve and this is made of the same material (niobium) as the power supply. A further advantage can be seen that different power levels can be produced with one type of ceramic tube with different designs of the length of the sleeve. The sleeve lies against the tubular discharge vessel at least in the edge region provided for the fixation. In a preferred embodiment, the larger part of the sleeve facing the discharge space is at a certain distance from the discharge vessel.

Anstelle der an den Rand der Wärmestaumanschette angeformten Laschen sind auch andere Zentrier- und Stützmittel denkbar. So kann beispielsweise der gesamte Rand zur Stirnfläche des Entladungsgefäßes rechtwinklig umgebördelt oder tiefgezogen sein. Des weiteren kann der Rand der Wärmestaumanschette mit Vertiefungen in Form von Eindellungen versehen sein, die auf der Stirnfläche des Entladungsgefäßes aufliegen.Instead of the tabs formed on the edge of the heat accumulation collar, other centering and support means are also conceivable. For example, the entire edge can be flanged or deep-drawn at right angles to the end face of the discharge vessel. The edge of the heat accumulation collar can also be used Depressions in the form of indentations which lie on the end face of the discharge vessel.

Die Anbringung ist derart, daß die Wärmestaumanschette erschütterungsfest und potentialfrei an den jeweiligen Enden des Entladungsgefäßes befestigt ist.The attachment is such that the heat accumulation sleeve is attached vibration-proof and potential-free to the respective ends of the discharge vessel.

Die Erfindung wird im Detail anhand der nachfolgenden schematisch dargestellten Figuren erläutert:

The invention is explained in detail with reference to the following schematically illustrated figures:
Figure 1
shows a first embodiment of the melt with a cylindrical heat exchange plate in an exploded view
Figure 2
shows an end of a discharge vessel with an alternative embodiment of a stepped cylindrical heat exchange plate
Figure 3

Figure 4
shows a further embodiment of an end of a discharge vessel with an adapted heat exchange plate

Die explosionsartge Darstellung der Figur 1 besteht aus einem Entladungsgefäß 1, von dem hier nur ein Ende dargestellt ist, einer Wärmestaumanschette 2, einem Glaslotring 3 und einer Stromzuführung 4 mit daran befestigter Elektrode 5. Das Entladungsgefäß 1 aus Aluminiumoxid weist ein zylindrisches Rohr 6 auf, in dessen Enden je ein buchsenförmiger Stopfen 7 eingesintert ist. In den axialen Hohlraum 8 des Stopfens 7 wird mittels des Glaslotringes 3 die die Elektrode 5 halternde Stromzuführung 4 gasdicht eingeschmolzen. Die bisher beschriebene Konstruktion ist konventionell und dem Fachmann bekannt. Bei der Montage und vor dem gasdichten Verschmelzen der zuvor genannten Teile wird dem Ende des Entladungsgefäßes auch die aus Niob bestehende zylinderförmige Wärmestaumanschette 2 aufgesetzt. Die Wärmestaumanschette 2 umgibt das Rohr 6 eng anliegend und ist an ihrer Oberseite mit Laschen 9 versehen, die auf der Stirnfläche 10 des Rohres 6 aufliegen. Bei der Herstellung der gasdichten Einschmelzung fließt ein Teil des geschmolzenen Glaslotringes 3 durch Kapillarkräfte in den durch das Rohr 6 des Entladungsgefäßes 1 und die Wärmestaumanschette 2 gebildeten Spalt, wodurch letztere nach Erkalten des Glaslotes ohne zusätzliche Arbeitsgänge oder Materialien in Position gehalten und ein guter Wärmeaustausch ermöglicht wird.1 consists of a discharge vessel 1, of which only one end is shown here, a heat accumulation collar 2, a glass solder ring 3 and a power supply 4 with an electrode 5 attached thereto. The aluminum oxide discharge vessel 1 has a cylindrical tube 6, a bush-shaped stopper 7 is sintered into the ends thereof is. In the axial cavity 8 of the plug 7, the power supply 4 holding the electrode 5 is melted gas-tight by means of the glass solder ring 3. The construction described so far is conventional and known to the person skilled in the art. During assembly and before the gas-tight fusion of the aforementioned parts, the cylindrical heat accumulation sleeve 2, which is made of niobium, is also placed on the end of the discharge vessel. The heat accumulation sleeve 2 surrounds the tube 6 closely and is provided on its upper side with tabs 9 which rest on the end face 10 of the tube 6. In the production of the gas-tight seal, a part of the molten glass solder ring 3 flows through capillary forces into the gap formed by the tube 6 of the discharge vessel 1 and the heat accumulation collar 2, whereby the latter is held in position after the glass solder has cooled without additional operations or materials and enables a good heat exchange becomes.

Eine alternative Form der Wärmestaumanschette 11 ist in Figur 2 dargestellt. Sämtliche Arbeitsgänge sowie auch die Gestalt des Entladungsgefäßes 1 sind identisch mit der Figur 1. Die Wärmestaumanschette 11 besteht hier aus einem kurzen, das Entladungsgefäß 1 eng umgebenden oberen Abschnitt 12, an dem die Laschen 9' angeformt sind, und aus einem längeren, das Entladungsgefäß 1 mit einem bestimmten Abstand umgebenden unteren Abschnitt 13. Der Vorteil dieser Ausführungsform liegt darin, daß das Glaslot den gesamten oberen Randbereich gleichmäßiger ausfüllt und somit bei den hergestellten Lampen ein noch engerer Toleranzbereich der Lampenparameter eingehalten wird.An alternative form of the heat accumulation sleeve 11 is shown in FIG. 2. All operations and also the shape of the discharge vessel 1 are identical to that of FIG. 1. The heat accumulation sleeve 11 here consists of a short upper section 12 closely surrounding the discharge vessel 1, on which the tabs 9 'are formed, and of a longer one, the discharge vessel 1 with a certain distance surrounding lower section 13. The advantage of this embodiment is that the glass solder fills the entire upper edge area more uniformly and thus an even narrower tolerance range of the lamp parameters is maintained in the lamps produced.

Auf ähnliche Weise wirkt die konische Wärmestaumanschette 14 der Figur 3. Das Entladungsgefäß 15 weist hier einen oberen zylindrischen Bereich kleinen Durchmessers 16 und einen von der Entladung durchströmten Bereich größeren Durchmessers 17 auf, die durch einen konischen Teil 18, dem Elektrodenraum, verbunden sind. Die konische Wärmestaumanschette 14 liegt mit ihren Laschen 9'' auf der Stirnfläche 19 des Entladungsgefäßes 15 auf und umgibt den Elektrodenraum 18 in einem gewissen Abstand, nachdem die Einschmelzung und damit die Befestigung desselben mittels des Glaslotringes 3' vorgenommen wurde.The conical heat accumulation collar works in a similar way 14 of FIG. 3. The discharge vessel 15 here has an upper cylindrical region of small diameter 16 and a region of larger diameter 17 through which the discharge flows, which are connected by a conical part 18, the electrode space. The conical heat accumulation collar 14 rests with its tabs 9 ″ on the end face 19 of the discharge vessel 15 and surrounds the electrode space 18 at a certain distance after the melting and thus the fastening thereof has been carried out by means of the glass solder ring 3 ′.

Die Figur 4 zeigt eine abgestuft zylinderförmige Wärmestaumanschette 20 mit einer dem Entladungsgefäß 21 zugewandten konischen Erweiterung 22, die den Elektrodenraum des Entladungsgefäßes 21 abdeckt. Wie in den vorangegangenen Ausführungsbeispielen ausgeführt, erfolgt die Halterung während des Einschmelzvorganges mittels der Laschen 9''' . Der kurze obere Abschnitt 23 der Wärmestaumanschette 20 mit kleinerem Durchmesser umgibt das obere Ende des Entladungsgefäßes 21 eng anliegend und ist hier mit demselben bei der fertigen Lampe verschmolzen, während der mittlere, zylinderförmige Abschnitt 24 einen gewissen Abstand zum Entladungsgefäß 21 aufweist.FIG. 4 shows a stepped, cylindrical heat accumulation collar 20 with a conical widening 22 facing the discharge vessel 21, which covers the electrode space of the discharge vessel 21. As stated in the previous exemplary embodiments, the holding takes place during the melting process by means of the tabs 9 '' '. The short upper section 23 of the heat accumulation collar 20 with a smaller diameter closely surrounds the upper end of the discharge vessel 21 and is fused here with the finished lamp, while the central, cylindrical section 24 is at a certain distance from the discharge vessel 21.
