Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating discharge lamps according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a discharge lamp suitable for such an operation according to the preamble of claim 10.
- the method also relates in particular to the operation of low-pressure noble gas discharge lamps, such as those used in automotive technology for signal and display purposes.
- the inner wall of the discharge vessel is optionally provided with a phosphor layer, in particular with Y 3 Al 5 O 12 : Ce.
- the discharge vessel has two unheated electrodes that face each other and are connected to power supply lines.
- the lamp can be operated in two ways:
- a sinusoidal AC voltage e.g. with a frequency of 60 kHz is used to generate a discharge within the discharge vessel, electromagnetic radiation being emitted predominantly in the red and infrared spectral range with low VUV and UV components.
- the lamp In this operating mode, the lamp has essentially a red light color and is therefore suitable e.g. for use in a vehicle brake light.
- a phosphor layer is usually omitted in this case.
- a pulsed voltage for example with a frequency of 12 kHz and typical pulse durations in the ⁇ s range, is used to generate a discharge within the discharge vessel, which likewise emits electromagnetic radiation in the red and infrared spectral range, but in contrast to operating mode 1 with a significantly increased VUV or UV content.
- VUV or UV radiation stimulates the phosphor Y 3 Al 5 O 12 : Ce, which fluoresces in the yellow spectral range (mean wavelength: 556 nm, half width: 103 nm).
- the lamp has essentially a yellow light color and is therefore suitable, for example, for use in a blinking motor vehicle.
- a sequence of voltage pulses is applied to the current leads which are led to the outside at the ends of the discharge vessel.
- the voltage pulses are separated from one another by relatively long pauses (low duty cycle). The pause times are required for setting the desired color location of the lamp.
- An object of the invention is to provide a method for the pulsed operation of discharge lamps, with which the spectral distribution of the radiation emitted by the discharge lamps can be influenced in a targeted manner and the required level of the voltage pulses can be reduced in comparison to conventional methods.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a discharge lamp which is suitable for operation using the method according to the invention.
- the basic idea of the invention is - in addition to the conventional pulsed discharge between the lamp electrodes of a discharge lamp - to generate a dielectric barrier discharge in the discharge vessel. This measure has a targeted influence on the spectral distribution of the radiation emitted by the discharge lamp and reduces the required level of the voltage pulses in comparison to conventional methods.
- Dielectrically impeded discharges differ from conventional (unhindered) discharges in that either one electrode (one-sided dielectric impeded discharge) or both electrodes (double-sided dielectric impeded discharge) is or are separated from the discharge by means of a dielectric layer.
- the dielectric layer can be realized in the form of an at least partial sheath of at least one electrode.
- the dielectric layer can also be formed by the wall of the discharge vessel itself, in that the electrode (s) is (are) arranged outside the discharge vessel, for example on the surface.
- electrodes of this type are referred to below as “dielectric electrodes”. To distinguish them, electrodes that directly adjoin the discharge, that is to say without an interposed dielectric separating layer, are abbreviated as “galvanic electrodes”.
- the method according to the invention provides - in addition to the sequence of voltage pulses required for generating the dielectrically unimpeded pulsed discharge - the use of a time-varying voltage for generating the dielectrically disabled discharge.
- AC voltages and, in particular, are suitable as time-variable voltages Sequences of voltage pulses, the individual voltage pulses being separated from one another by pause times.
- a large number of pulse shapes are suitable for the voltage pulses, both for generating the unobstructed and the dielectrically disabled discharge, e.g. triangular and rectangular.
- the pulse width is typically in the range between 0.1 ⁇ s and 50 ⁇ s. It is essential for efficient radiation generation that the pulses are separated by pauses. Typical pulse-pause ratios are in the range between 0.001 and 0.1.
- the pulse sequences disclosed in WO 94/23442 are also particularly suitable.
- the optical spectrum of the radiation emitted by the lamp can be influenced by the ratio of the average electrical powers coupled into the conventional (dielectrically unhindered) or the dielectrically hindered discharge.
- the reason for this lies in the different particle kinetics of both types of discharge. Consequently, the spectral composition of the radiation emitted in each case is also different.
- the radiation components of the respective spectral components of the discharge types in the total radiation of the discharge lamp change accordingly and consequently also the overall spectrum or the color location.
- the ratio of the powers is influenced by the pulse sequence (s), in particular the time periods and amplitudes of the pulses and pauses or possibly the frequency of the alternating voltage, the electrode configurations and the type and pressure of the lamp filling.
- Typical ratios of the electrical services from unhindered discharge to disabled discharge are in the range between 0.01 and 100, preferably in the range between 0.5 and 10.
- the influencing of the color location can be supported by using a suitable phosphor.
- the inner wall of the discharge vessel is provided with a phosphor layer which converts the UV or NUV radiation from the discharge into light.
- the selection of the ionizable filling and possibly the phosphor layer depends on the intended use.
- noble gases for example neon, argon, krypton and xenon, and mixtures of noble gases are suitable.
- other fillers can also be used, for example all those which are normally used in light generation, in particular mercury and rare gas / mercury mixtures, and rare earths and their halides.
- Unhindered discharges result in a relatively broadband excitation of the atoms of the filling, ie atomic states of various excitation levels are occupied.
- this excitation includes, for example, the neon lines in the red region of the optical spectrum.
- the use of the dielectrically handicapped discharge and particularly the use of the pulsed dielectric freshly handicapped discharge allows a selective coupling of the energy in such a way that essentially only the resonance level and a few levels in the immediate vicinity of the resonance level are excited.
- the atoms in metastable states very efficiently form short-lived, excited molecules, so-called excimers, in the case of neon, for example, Ne 2 " .
- Ne 2 "has an intensity maximum at approximately 85 nm.
- This short-wave invisible radiation can be converted into visible radiation, in the aforementioned example in the yellow spectral range, by phosphors, for example Y 3 Al 5 O 12 : Ce.
- the two pulse sequences are synchronized with one another in order to ensure that the lamp operates at the same time.
- this is achieved in that the same sequence of voltage pulses both for generating the dielectrically handicapped as well as the dielectrically unhindered discharge is used.
- the pulsed dielectric barrier discharge precedes the barrier-free discharge in such a way that a sufficient number of starting electrons are made available for the barrier-free discharge.
- the hindered discharge - in addition to the advantage of the independent adjustability of the spectral distribution of the emitted radiation - can reduce the voltage required for the operation of the unhindered discharge.
- a permanent reduction in the voltage pulses required for the unimpeded discharge can be achieved in that the voltage pulses applied to the dielectric electrodes each lead ahead of those of the galvanic electrodes.
- this either requires two synchronizable supply devices or a specific measure in order to shift the two pulse sequences in time in the desired manner.
- the same sequence of voltage pulses is used both to generate the dielectrically handicapped and the unhindered discharge.
- the electrode configurations are selected in such a way that the ignition voltage of the dielectric barrier discharge is lower than that of the barrier-free discharge.
- the current leads of a galvanic and a dielectric electrode are electrically contacted with each other.
- the second condition requires a sufficiently short distance between the dielectrically handicapped electrodes compared to the unhindered. In the case of tubular discharge vessels with longitudinally arranged galvanic electrodes, this can be easily achieved by, for example, arranging two electrodes transversely on the outer wall of the vessel.
- the discharge lamp according to the invention which is suitable for operation according to the method according to the invention explained above, has in its simplest embodiment only a single additional third electrode in addition to the two galvanic electrodes.
- a first of the two galvanic electrodes performs two functions.
- the second galvanic electrode to generate the conventional unhindered discharge.
- the additional third electrode it is used to generate a discharge with a dielectric barrier on one side.
- the third electrode must necessarily be a dielectric electrode.
- it is advantageously connected to anode potential with respect to the corresponding unobstructed counterelectrode.
- an additional fourth electrode is advantageous.
- the fourth, dielectric electrode then serves, together with the third, also dielectric electrode, to generate a discharge which is dielectrically impeded on both sides.
- Another advantage of the arrangement with two dielectric and two galvanic electrodes is the possibility of being able to choose the mean power coupling of the two discharges independently of one another. This results in an even greater freedom in the setting of the spectral distribution or the color location.
- the shape of the dielectric electrodes is advantageously adapted to the shape of the discharge vessel.
- strip-shaped metallic electrodes which are arranged along the longitudinal axis of the lamp are suitable.
- the dielectric electrode (s) is (are) arranged on the outer wall of the discharge vessel, for example as an applied metal strip or vapor-deposited thin strip-like metal. tall layer (s).
- the advantage of this solution is that additional gastight bushings and dielectric layers can be dispensed with.
- a conventional lamp can serve as the starting point.
- the (the) metal strips are embedded or embedded in the outer wall of the discharge vessel or are completely enclosed in the wall of the discharge vessel. These measures fix the metal strips with the discharge lamp. The disadvantage is an increased manufacturing effort and thus higher costs.
- the dielectric electrodes are each connected to one of the current leads of the galvanic electrodes.
- the advantage over separate supply lines for the electrodes is that only a single supply device is required for both discharges.
- a separate supply of the galvanic or dielectric electrodes offers the possibility of optimizing the respective supply device to meet the special requirements of the type of discharge in question.
- a metal strip tapered on one side is particularly suitable.
- the metal strip is advantageously connected to the galvanic electrode from which the tapered end points away. This measure ensures a virtually uniform discharge which is dielectrically impeded on one side along the entire strip and in the direction of the corresponding galvanic counterelectrode.
- a tubular discharge vessel contains neon with a filling pressure in the range between approximately 1 kPa and 200 kPa, preferably between approximately 5 kPa and 50 kPa.
- the inside wall of the discharge vessel is provided with a VUV-stimulable phosphor, for example Y 3 Al 5 O 12 : Ce.
- the galvanic electrodes are realized by two mutually opposite electrodes, in particular cold cathodes, which are arranged inside the discharge vessel.
- At least one metal electrode, in particular at least one metal strip is located on the outer wall of the discharge vessel as a dielectric electrode. attached. When operating according to the inventive method, the lamp lights up yellow and serves as a flashing light.
