Definitions

  • the invention relates to a discharge lamp with a base according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • discharge lamp here encompasses sources of electromagnetic radiation based on gas discharges.
  • the spectrum of the radiation can encompass both the visible range and the UV (ultraviolet) / VUV (vacuum ultraviolet) range and the IR (infrared) range.
  • a phosphor layer can also be provided for converting invisible into visible radiation (light).
  • a dielectric barrier electrode is separated from the inside of the discharge vessel by means of a dielectric.
  • This dielectric can be designed, for example, as a dielectric layer covering the electrode, or it is formed by the discharge vessel of the lamp itself, namely when the electrode is arranged on the outer wall of the discharge vessel.
  • Such a lamp with an Edison screw base is already known from the document WO-A-98/11596, in particular FIGS. 5a to 5c.
  • This lamp points a helical electrode inside the discharge vessel.
  • four strip-shaped electrodes are arranged on the outer wall of the discharge vessel. The disadvantage of this lamp is that ignition difficulties can occur and the radiation yield can be surprisingly low.
  • the invention relates to a system with this discharge lamp with a base and a circuit arrangement which is designed for a pulsed active power coupling into the discharge lamp.
  • the basic idea of the invention is to provide a distance between the base and the outer wall of the discharge vessel. It has been shown that the problems described in the introduction can be avoided entirely as soon as the distance is only sufficiently large.
  • the current leads of the outer electrodes are arranged in such a way that their distance to the inner electrode or the power supply of the inner electrode does not fall below the distance between each outer and inner electrode.
  • means are provided which prevent the current leads of the outer electrodes from touching the outer wall of the discharge vessel at the points where the outer diameter of the discharge vessel is smaller than at the point where the current leads are in contact with the outer electrodes. This primarily concerns the lamp base, at the beginning of which the discharge vessel usually tapers.
  • an electrical conductor surrounding the longitudinal axis of the discharge lamp is provided as a means, on which the current leads of all outer electrodes are suitably contacted.
  • a metallic ring arranged concentrically to the longitudinal axis of the lamp is suitable, for example, the diameter of which is at least twice the distance between the inner electrode and a contact point of a power supply with an outer electrode. In this way, a sufficient distance between the current leads of the outer electrodes and the lamp base is ensured.
  • the electrical conductor can also be designed as a metal disk, which has a recess for receiving the lamp base.
  • the base is pulled up a bit over the discharge vessel in such a way that the current leads of the outer electrodes and the metal ring or sheet metal plate are protected against unintentional contact by the base.
  • the base is fastened to the lamp base of the lamp with the aid of a fastening means.
  • a potting compound for example, is suitable as a fastening means.
  • the base has a base sleeve. At least a part of the space between the base sleeve and the lamp base is poured out with the aid of the sealing compound. In this way, the base is attached to the lamp base.
  • the decisive factor here is that both the base sleeve and the casting compound are at a sufficient distance from the gas space enclosed by the wall of the discharge vessel, in particular from the part of the discharge vessel in which the dielectric barrier discharge takes place during operation of the lamp.
  • this can be achieved by covering the casting compound only in a partial area of the lamp base, for example at the end of the lamp base which is remote from the discharge vessel.
  • a partial area of the lamp base for example at the end of the lamp base which is remote from the discharge vessel.
  • the typical minimum distance between the outer wall of the discharge vessel and the inner wall of the base sleeve is on the order of one to several millimeters. This has proven itself in practice in order to ensure a sufficient distance and thus a high radiation yield of the lamp everywhere with the usual tolerances of the diameter of the discharge vessel and the base sleeve and the centering of the discharge vessel in the base sleeve.
  • the discharge vessel which preferably contains at least one noble gas, for example xenon or krypton, and alternatively additionally halogens or fluorides to form excimers.
  • the dielectric barrier discharge thus generates intensive UV / VUV radiation during lamp operation.
  • the lamp is used as a UV / VUV emitter, ie if it does not have a fluorescent layer for converting the short-wave radiation, UV / VUV-resistant materials should be selected for the sealing compound as well as for the base sleeve. Glass, ceramics, certain Teflon-like plastics, for example PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) or generally UV-resistant are particularly suitable for the base sleeve
  • Ceramic putty, epoxy resin or sour iron cement have been found to be suitable materials for the sealing compound.
  • a particularly high radiation yield can be achieved with the lamp according to the invention with a base if it is operated in accordance with the method for pulsed active power coupling described in WO-A-94/23442.
  • the lamp with a base is completed to form a system with a circuit arrangement which is designed for a series of pulsed active power inputs into the discharge lamp.
  • the individual active power inputs are separated from one another by pause times. Pulse widths and pause times are matched to one another in accordance with the teaching disclosed in WO-A-94/23442 in such a way that the radiation yield is optimal.
  • Figure a discharge lamp with a flange-like base.
  • a discharge lamp 1 front view
  • a flange-like base 2 section
  • UV radiation eg surface cleaning, photolytics, ozone generation, metallization, UV curing and others.
  • the discharge lamp 1 has a circular cylindrical discharge vessel 3 made of 0.7 mm to 1.5 mm thick quartz glass.
  • the discharge vessel 3 has an outer diameter of approximately 40 mm.
  • the inside of the discharge vessel 3 is filled with xenon at a pressure of 15 kPa.
  • An elongated coiled inner electrode 4 made of metal wire is arranged centrally within the discharge vessel 3.
  • the respective diameters of the metal wire and the helix are 1 mm and 8 mm, respectively.
  • the aisle height h - i.e. the distance within which the helix makes a complete revolution - is 12 mm.
  • six outer electrodes 5a-5f (the outer electrodes 5d-5f cannot be seen in the figure) in the form of 12 cm long platinum strips are attached equidistantly and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the coil.
  • the discharge vessel 3 is closed like a dome and has a pump tip 6 in the middle of the dome, in which a first end of the spiral electrode 4 is fixed.
  • the discharge vessel 3 tapers and merges into a pinch seal 7.
  • the pinch seal 7 ensures a gas-tight connection of the helical electrode 4 to an external power supply 9.
  • the external electrodes 5a-5f are each provided with a power supply 10a-10f (the power supplies 10d to 10f are not shown in the figure), which in turn are connected to one another by means of a wire ring 11 made of nickel.
  • the wire ring 11 is connected to a power supply 12 leading to the outside.
  • This outer power supply 12 consequently serves as a common power supply for all outer electrodes 5a-5f.
  • the diameter of the wire ring 11 corresponds approximately to the diameter of the discharge vessel 3.
  • the base 2 (in a sectional view) consists of a rotationally symmetrical base sleeve 13 and a potting compound 14 made of ceramic cement.
  • the base sleeve 13 has a tubular part 15 which merges into a flange-like part 16 at its end remote from the lamp.
  • the casting compound 14 fills the space between this part of the press seal 7 and the base sleeve 13 along part of the total length of the press seal 7. In this way, the base sleeve 13 is fixed by means of the casting compound 14 on the foot or on the pinch seal 7 of the lamp 1.
  • the base sleeve 13 also envelops a portion of the discharge vessel 3 which is close to the pinch seal and into which the coil electrode 4 and the outer electrodes 5a-5f also extend.
  • the flange-like part 16 is used for connection in a process chamber for UV radiation. If the casting compound 14 is selected from a suitable material with a correspondingly low vapor pressure, the emitter is also suitable for operation in apparatus which can be evacuated.
  • the function of the raised base sleeve is primarily to protect the power supply lines or the contacts between the power supply lines and the external electrodes. This is necessary because the current leads of the outer electrodes must not be in contact with the tapering part of the discharge vessel and are therefore arranged concentrically around the lamp base like a kind of crown. Due to the raised soc kelhülse is now prevented that the power leads of the outer electrodes by accidental touch undesirably come close to the lamp base or even come into contact with it. Otherwise, bright, contracted discharge channels with high current densities are formed between such a contact point and the inner electrode, which leads to a reduction in the overall efficiency of the UV radiation from the radiator.
  • the geometric dimensions of the discharge vessel 3 and the base sleeve 13 are matched to one another such that an annular gap 17 with a width of approximately 3 mm is between the outer wall of the discharge vessel 3 and the inner wall of the base sleeve 13 opposite thereto.
  • the inner wall of the base sleeve 13 has a cylinder countersink in the region of the discharge vessel over a length L of approximately 11 mm, with an inner diameter of 44 mm.
  • the inside diameter of the remaining base sleeve 13 in the area of the taper of the lamp base is only 42 mm.
  • the wire ring 11 is designed as a sheet metal disk (separating sheet), for example made of stainless steel.
  • the partition plate has a recess which is adapted to the shape of the circumference of the pinch seal of the lamp. This ensures that the sheet metal plate can be pushed over the pinch seal in a precise shape.
  • the sheet metal plate is arranged in the area of the pinch seal, ie at a sufficient distance from the actual discharge vessel so that no parasitic gas discharges can impair the efficiency of the lamp.
  • the sheet metal disc has the same function as the previously described wire ring, namely to make the electrical contact between the outer electrodes and the power supply.
  • the sheet metal plate also serves to protect the base cement against gas discharge generated UV radiation.
  • the outer diameter is chosen so large that the entire sealing compound between the pinch seal and the base sleeve is covered. Another advantage is that the initially soft casting compound between the base sleeve and the pinch seal can be filled during lamp manufacture without it being able to run past the sheet metal disk onto the discharge vessel.
  • the discharge lamp has a fluorescent layer which converts the UV / VUV radiation into light (visible electromagnetic radiation).
  • the current leads led out of the base are connected to the connection terminals of a ballast which supplies the voltage pulses required for the operation of the lamp.
  • a ballast which supplies the voltage pulses required for the operation of the lamp.
