Definitions

  • the invention is based on a lamp pinched on both sides according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • incandescent and discharge lamps include both incandescent and discharge lamps. These are, in particular, halogen incandescent lamps in the form of a festoon, but also discharge lamps, in particular metal halide lamps, for example UV lamps for cosmetic and medical applications. Another area of application is high pressure sodium lamps.
  • Such lamps are usually provided with bases which consist of a ceramic sleeve and a metallic connection contact held therein.
  • the connection contact is usually shaped like a disk, in particular button-like or plate-like.
  • the sleeve is usually slotted with the slit pushed onto the pinch. It is attached to the bruise with putty.
  • putty has some disadvantages.
  • the connection thus achieved is not sufficiently reliable at high temperature loads.
  • the acidic environment of the putty and residues of solvents can corrode the power supply. For this reason, attempts have already been made to fasten the ceramic sleeve without cement (see, for example, EP-A 547 683).
  • the manufacture of such lamps is very complicated and therefore time-consuming and costly.
  • the advantage of the present invention is that the ceramic sleeve material can now be saved completely and thus also on putty can be completely dispensed with.
  • the time-consuming baking out of the base cement is completely eliminated.
  • the molding of the glass base sleeve can preferably be carried out at the same time as the squeezing step.
  • the double-pinched electric lamp consists of a vacuum-sealed, elongated lamp bulb that defines a longitudinal axis. It is equipped with press seals at its two opposite ends, each press seal enclosing a press film that connects the inner and outer power supply lines. Lamp bases are attached to the outer ends of the pinch seals. These consist of a sleeve which is formed from the material of the lamp bulb and which is molded onto the outer end of the pinch seal. This sleeve has an inner and outer diameter, the wall thickness of the sleeve depending on the type being on the order of about one millimeter. A contact element is fastened inside the sleeve and is connected in an electrically conductive manner to the external power supply. The contact element extends essentially transversely to the lamp axis.
  • the basic shape of the contact element is disc-like. Forms derived therefrom, such as contact elements similar to mushrooms, pencils or knives, are also particularly suitable.
  • the element is fastened in the sleeve in that at least part of the edge of the contact element is embedded in the sleeve, that is to say melted or squeezed.
  • the distance of the edge of the disk-like body from its center, ie its radius changes over the circumference. It changes in particular legally or periodically.
  • This property is particularly important when there is practically no metallic material for the contact element, which would be adapted to the thermal expansion coefficient of the piston material (generally quartz glass). A mismatch would soon lead to cracks in the bulb material (quartz glass) during operation, which would shorten the life of the lamp.
  • a suitable material for the contact material is stainless steel (V2A, especially also nickel-plated) or nickel or copper (possibly silver-plated or gold-plated).
  • the minimum radius of the element is smaller than the inner radius of the sleeve.
  • the contact element has a shamrock-like, elliptical, triangular-like or n-corner shape.
  • the corners of the contact element are rounded. In this way, tensions can be minimized, especially when both techniques are used simultaneously.
  • the contact element is anchored very reliably in the glass sleeve.
  • the external power supply that connects the squeeze film to the contact element can in principle be implemented in two different ways.
  • the external power supply is a wire.
  • the contact element advantageously has an eyelet-like extension (neck part) into which the wire can be inserted.
  • a second variant is to angle the wire-shaped power supply and to weld the long side of the angle piece to the contact element. Finally, the contact element can also be butt-welded directly to the wire.
  • the external power supply is a film, in particular an extension of the squeeze film.
  • the usual squeeze film is stable enough to take on the task of external power supply.
  • an extension part of the squeeze film is preferably angled, again the longitudinal side of the angle piece being welded to the contact element.
  • the contact element In the event that part of the external power supply is bent, it is advantageous for the contact element to be bulged toward the power supply.
  • the elbow can be welded well to this concave curvature.
  • the edge of the contact element has a thickness between 0.3 and 0.8 mm. In a particularly preferred embodiment, this dimensioning rule applies to the entire contact element.
  • the production of such bases from glass sleeves can advantageously be integrated into the usual production process for lamps of the type described, for example (with the aid of a four-jaw squeezing machine) in EP-A 451 647 is described.
  • the jaws now each contain an integrated molding device which not only forms the pinch, but also the glass sleeve.
  • the end of the lamp bulb in particular also the area of the later glass sleeve, is brought to the deformation temperature.
  • the surface tension results in a defined self-deformation of the piston end, so that the pipe diameter constricts there.
  • Due to the shaped jaws adapted to the intended base shape the piston is now closed by the pinch jaws.
  • the base geometry is embossed, the contact element being held in the right place by means of negative pressure or using pliers.
  • a defined inner diameter of the glass sleeve is achieved by suitably chosen processing parameters.
  • FIG. 1 shows two views of a halogen incandescent lamp squeezed at 90 °. It consists of a cylindrical bulb 1, in which a luminous element 2 is arranged axially. It is held in the piston 1 by knobs 10.
  • the luminous element 2 consists of luminous sections 3 with a small slope, which are separated by non-luminous sections 4 with a large slope are separated.
  • the ends 5 of the filament also consist of non-illuminating sections with a large slope.
  • the ends 5 are embedded directly in the squeeze 6 in their function as an internal power supply and are connected there with a squeeze film 7.
  • the end 8 of the film 7 facing the filament is bent inside the pinch 6, the filament end 5 being inserted into the bend 9 and thus making an electrical contact with the film 7 purely mechanically.
  • the film is 2.5 ⁇ m thick.
  • a tubular glass sleeve 11 with an outer diameter of 7 mm and an inner diameter of 5 mm is molded onto the outside of the pinch 6 as a base.
  • the sleeve 11 is about 7 mm long. It is therefore narrower than the broad side of the pinch 6, but wider than the narrow side of the pinch 6. Accordingly, there is a transition zone 12 between the pinch 6 and the sleeve 11.
  • a disk-like contact element 13 which is made of sheet steel (V2A) with a thickness of 0.4 mm (see FIG. 2), is embedded in the sleeve 11 transversely to the lamp axis at a depth of 3 mm from the sleeve end. It has a cloverleaf shape, the maximum radius of the disc 13 (Rmax) being 2.7 mm and the minimum radius (Rmin) being 2.0 mm. The latter is reached on the floor by four troughs 16 each. The troughs 16 are punched out of the disk as concave arcs. The troughs 16 serve in particular as a grip aid for a holder by means of pliers.
  • a hollow neck part 14 is attached to the rear of the element 13. Between the film 7 and element 13, a molybdenum wire with a diameter of 0.6 mm is arranged as an external power supply 15, which is welded to the neck part 14.
  • FIG. 3 shows further possible basic shapes for the contact element. Specifically, this is an elliptical shape 17 (FIG. 3a), a triangle-like shape 18 (FIG. 3b) and a square-like shape 19 (FIG. 3c).
  • the basic shape of the latter is a 0.5 mm thick disc which has a concave central bulge 27 with a diameter of 3 mm. The largest diameter of the disc is 5.4 mm, its smallest diameter is 5 mm. The corners of the triangle and quadrangle are rounded.
  • the contact element 20 is bulged in a plate shape, while the wire-shaped outer power supply 21 is angled within the sleeve 11 (22).
  • the long side of the angled part 22 is connected to the rear of the contact element 20 by means of resistance welding.
  • a wire-shaped external power supply 25 can also be butt-welded directly to the contact element 26 in the region of the bulge 27 (FIG. 5).
  • FIG. 6 An exemplary embodiment of a metal halide lamp is shown in FIG. 6.
  • the bulb made of quartz glass in the form of a barrel body 30 includes two electrodes 31 in addition to a metal halide filling.
  • the piston ends are sealed by crushing 32, in which foils 33 are embedded.
  • the external power supply is formed here by an extension part 34 of the squeeze film 33.
  • the extension part 34 is angled in the area of the glass sleeve 11.
  • the angled part 35 is welded with its long side 36 to the rear of the bulbous contact element 26.
