Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Verfahren zum Herstellen einer Lampe gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Es handelt sich dabei um ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Lampe mit einem Lampengefäß, das zumindest ein offenes, zylindrisch ausgebildetes Ende besitzt, in das ein Elektrodensystem eingeführt und das anschließend gasdicht verschlossen wird.The invention relates to a method for producing a lamp according to the preamble of
Bei den bisher verwendeten Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Lampe, seien es nun Glühlampen oder rohrförmige Leuchtstofflampen, werden die Elektrodensysteme mittels einer Tellereinschmelzung in die Lampengefäße eingebracht und gasdicht eingeschmolzen. Lediglich bei sehr kleinen Rohrdurchmessern ist es möglich das Elektrodensystem in das bzw. die offenen Enden einzuquetschen.In the previously used methods for producing a lamp, be it incandescent or tubular fluorescent lamps, the electrode systems are introduced by means of a plate melting in the lamp vessels and sealed gas-tight. Only with very small pipe diameters is it possible to squeeze the electrode system into the open end (s).
Das Tellereinschmelzverfahren macht ein zusätzliches Pumprohr im Teller erforderlich, über das die Lampen gepumpt, gespült und mit den erforderlichen Substanzen gefüllt werden. Da dieses Pumprohr nach dem Füllvorgang gasdicht verschlossen werden muß, ergibt sich so ein zusätzlicher Herstellungsschritt.The plate smelting process requires an additional pump tube in the plate through which the lamps are pumped, rinsed and filled with the required substances. Since this pump tube must be closed gas-tight after the filling process, this results in an additional manufacturing step.
Außerdem wird bei einer Tellereinschmelzung zusätzlich ein Metall- oder Kunststoffsockel benötigt, der mittels eines Kitts auf der Tellereinschmelzung befestigt wird. Die Tellereinschmelzung und die Sockelbefestigung erfordern eine aufwendige Maschinentechnik.In addition, in a plate smelting additionally a metal or plastic base is required, which by means of a putty on the plate smelting is attached. The plate melting and the base mounting require a complex machine technology.
Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Lampe gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bereitzustellen, bei der auf ein Pumprohr und eine nachfolgende Sockelung verzichtet werden kann und so die Maschinentechnik zur Herstellung der Lampe vereinfacht.It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing a lamp according to the preamble of
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen finden sich in den abhängigen Ansprüchen.This object is solved by the characterizing features of
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren wird das Lampengefäß mit dem zumindest einen offenen zylindrischen Ende in einen Pumpkopf gasdicht eingesetzt, wobei der Pumpkopf auf einem Halter eine Verschlußplatte mit dem Elektrodensystem und den Anschlussstiften so trägt, dass bei Einsatz des Lampengefäßes in den Pumpkopf die Verschlußplatte senkrecht zur Achse des zylindrischen Endes des Lampengefäßes zu liegen kommt. Der Halter ist längs der Achse des Lampengefäßes verschiebbar. Die Verschlußplatte besitzt dabei eine Außenkontur, die ein wenig kleiner als die Innenkontur des offenen Endes des Lampengefäßes ist. Dadurch ist es möglich, das Lampengefäß über den Pumpkopf zu pumpen, spülen und mit Gasen sowie eventuell weiteren Füllungssubstanzen in der gewünschten Menge zu füllen. Sodann wird von außen mit Hilfe einer Energiequelle der Rand der Verschlußplatte und das Lampengefäß in Höhe der Verschlußplatte erwärmt, so dass das Ende des Lampengefäßes in Höhe der Verschlußplatte einfällt und sich mit dem Rand der Verschlußplatte gasdicht verbindet. Schließlich wird das über die Verschlußplatte hinausstehende offene Ende des Lampengefäßes abgetrennt.In the method according to the invention, the lamp vessel is gas-tightly inserted with the at least one open cylindrical end in a pump head, wherein the pump head on a holder a closure plate with the electrode system and the pins carries so that when using the lamp vessel in the pump head, the closure plate perpendicular to the axis the cylindrical end of the lamp vessel comes to rest. The holder is displaceable along the axis of the lamp vessel. The closure plate has an outer contour which is slightly smaller than the inner contour of the open end of the lamp vessel. This makes it possible to pump the lamp vessel via the pump head, rinse and fill with gases and possibly other filling substances in the desired amount. Then, the edge of the closure plate and the lamp vessel at the level of the closure plate is heated from the outside by means of an energy source, so that the end of the lamp vessel is incident at the level of the closure plate and gas-tightly connects to the edge of the closure plate. Finally will the open end of the lamp vessel protruding beyond the closure plate is cut off.

Vorteilhaft für einen vakuumdichten Verschluss des Lampengefäßes rotiert beim Erwärmungsvorgang die Energiequelle um das Lampengefäß und die Verschlußplatte. Bei bestimmten Gefäßen kann es jedoch auch von Vorteil sein, wenn beim Erwärmungsvorgang das Lampengefäß und die Verschlußplatte an der Energiequelle rotieren. Als Energiequelle dient hierbei vorzugsweise ein Gasbrenner.Advantageously, for a vacuum-tight closure of the lamp vessel rotates during the heating process, the energy source to the lamp vessel and the closure plate. In certain vessels, however, it may also be advantageous if, during the heating process, the lamp vessel and the closure plate rotate at the energy source. The energy source used here is preferably a gas burner.
Für den Fall, dass es sich bei der herzustellenden Lampe um eine Leuchtstofflampe mit einem rohrförmigen Lampengefäß mit durchgehend kreisförmigen Querschnitt handelt und zur Herstellung der Lampe ein an beiden Enden offenes Glasrohr verwendet wird, werden dessen beide Enden gleichzeitig oder nacheinander in den Pumpkopf mit einer auf einer Halterung befestigten kreisförmigen Verschlußplatte mit dem Elektrodensystem und den Anschlussstiften eingesetzt.In the event that it is the lamp to be manufactured is a fluorescent lamp with a tubular lamp vessel with a continuous circular cross-section and the manufacture of the lamp is used at both ends open glass tube, the two ends are simultaneously or successively in the pump head with a on a holder attached circular shutter plate with the electrode system and the pins inserted.
Im Falle einer Glühlampe mit einem birnenförmigen Lampengefäß, wobei zur Herstellung ein birnenförmiges Glasgefäß mit einem kreiszylindrischen offenen Ende verwendet wird, wird das kreiszylindrische offene Ende in den Pumpkopf mit einer auf einer Halterung befestigten kreisförmigen Verschlußplatte mit dem Elektrodensystem und den Anschlussstiften eingesetzt.In the case of an incandescent lamp with a pear-shaped lamp vessel, using a pear-shaped glass vessel with a circular cylindrical open end to make the circular cylindrical open end is inserted into the pump head with a mounted on a holder circular closure plate with the electrode system and the pins.

Auf der dem offenen Ende des Lampengefäßes zugewandten Seite der Verschlußplatte sind elektrische Anschlussstifte angebracht und über Stromzuführungen mit der Wendel elektrisch verbunden sind.Advantageously, the electrode system consists of a holder and a coil attached thereto, which are mounted on the side facing away from the open end of the lamp vessel side of the closure plate. On the open end of the lamp vessel facing side of the closure plate are electrical Attached pins and are electrically connected via power supply to the coil.
Vorteilhaft besteht die Verschlußplatte aus isolierendem Glas. Sie kann aber auch aus Metall bestehen, wobei in diesem Fall die Stromzuführungen im Durchführungsbereich der Verschlußplatte von isolierendem Material wie z.B. Glaslot umgeben sind. Die Verschlußplatte kann jedoch auch aus einem Glasteller bestehen, an dessen Rand ein Metallring angebracht ist.Advantageously, the closure plate made of insulating glass. But it may also be made of metal, in which case the power supply lines in the lead-through region of the closure plate of insulating material such. Glass solder are surrounded.
