Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Metallhalogenidlampe für eine Hochdruckentladungslampe gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Es handelt sich dabei insbesondere um Füllungen für Lampen mit tageslichtähnlicher Lichtfarbe.The invention is based on a metal halide lamp for a high-pressure discharge lamp according to the preamble of claim 1. These are in particular fillings for lamps with daylight-like light color.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Zur Erzielung tageslichtähnlicher Lichtfarben enthalten Metallhalogenidentladungslampen meist Thallium. Zum Beispiel beschreibt die US-A 6 107 742 eine Lampe, die eine Metallhalogenidfüllung mit den Metallen Cs, TI, und Seltene Erden wie Dy, Tm, Ho enthält und eine tageslichtähnliche Lichtfarbe hat.To achieve daylight-like light colors, metal halide discharge lamps usually contain thallium. For example, that describes US Pat. No. 6,107,742 a lamp that contains a metal halide filling with the metals Cs, TI, and rare earths such as Dy, Tm, Ho and has a daylight-like light color.

Außerdem ist aus US-A 5 965 984 eine Füllung für Metallhalogenidlampen bekannt, die In-Halogenid enthält. Daneben kann die Füllung Metallhalogenide mit den Metallen Seltene Erden wie Tm, Ho mit Ausnahme von DyJ3 enthalten. Sie wird für fotooptische Zwecke eingesetzt, also für hohe Leuchtdichte. Hier liegt die Wandbelastung bei typisch 48 bis 62 W/cm2, die spezifische Leistung bei 35 bis 70 W/mm Bogenlänge, der Elektrodenabstand liegt bei unter 5 mm, die InJ-Menge beträgt 0,1 bis 1,5 mg/ml.Besides, it is off US Pat. No. 5,965,984 a filling for metal halide lamps which contains in-halide. In addition, the filling may contain metal halides with the metals rare earths such as Tm, Ho with the exception of DyJ3. It is used for photo-optical purposes, so for high luminance. Here the wall load is typically 48 to 62 W / cm 2 , the specific power at 35 to 70 W / mm arc length, the electrode gap is less than 5 mm, the InJ amount is 0.1 to 1.5 mg / ml.

Aus der US-A 2004253897 ist eine Metallhalogenidlampe mit zweiendigem Außenkolben bekannt, der nur einen Teil des Entladungsgefäßes umgibt.From the US-A 2004253897 a metal halide lamp with two-ended outer bulb is known, which surrounds only a portion of the discharge vessel.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Metallhalogenidfüllung für Metallhalogenidentladungslampen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bereitzustellen, die an die besonderen Bedingungen eines Außenkolbens angepasst sind.It is an object of the present invention to provide a metal halide filling for metal halide discharge lamps according to the preamble of claim 1, which are adapted to the particular conditions of an outer bulb.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen finden sich in den abhängigen Ansprüchen.This object is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1. Particularly advantageous embodiments can be found in the dependent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß wird eine Metallhalogenidfüllung verwendet, die Na, TI, und Seltene Erden und zusätzlich In-Halogenid verwendet. Dabei wird auf andere Komponenten mit weiteren Halogeniden verzichtet. Als Halogen wird Jod und/oder Brom verwendet.According to the invention, a metal halide filling is used which uses Na, TI, and rare earths and additionally In halide. It is dispensed with other components with other halides. The halogen used is iodine and / or bromine.

Bei der Herstellung von Metallhalogenidlampen mit Entladungsgefäßen aus Quarzglas hat sich gezeigt, dass erhebliche Kosteneinsparungen durch ein neues Konzept mit Außenkolben erzielt werden können, bei dem der Außenkolben das Entladungsgefäß nur teilweise umgibt. Dabei wird eine Gasfüllung im Außenkolben verwendet. Dies führt jedoch zu einem veränderten Temperaturhaushalt des Entladungsgefäßes. Die bisher übliche Füllung aus Metallhalogeniden von Cs, TI und Seltenen Erden ist unter diesen Bedingungen zu grünstichig.In the manufacture of metal halide lamps with quartz glass discharge vessels, it has been found that significant cost savings can be achieved by a new outer bulb concept in which the outer envelope only partially surrounds the discharge vessel. In this case, a gas filling is used in the outer bulb. However, this leads to a change in the temperature of the discharge vessel. The usual filling of metal halides of Cs, TI and rare earths is too greenish under these conditions.

Abhilfe schafft hier die genau dosierte Zugabe von Indiumhalogenid. Dabei wird eine Füllung verwendet, die zwischen 0,1 und 2,5 mg Seltenerd-Halogenide pro ml Volumen des Entladungsgefäßes enthält. Bevorzugt ist ein Wert von 0,2 bis 2,0 mg/ml. Als Seltene Erden eignen sich insbesondere Dy, Ho und Tm allein oder in Kombination. Besonders geeignet ist Tm allein oder überwiegend, also mit mehr als 50 % Anteil, insbesondere mit mindestens 90 % Anteil.Remedy here creates the precisely metered addition of indium halide. In this case, a filling is used which contains between 0.1 and 2.5 mg of rare earth halides per ml volume of the discharge vessel. A value of 0.2 to 2.0 mg / ml is preferred. Particularly suitable rare earths are Dy, Ho and Tm, alone or in combination. Particularly suitable is Tm alone or predominantly, ie with more than 50% share, in particular with at least 90% share.

Das molare Verhältnis zwischen In und Seltenen Erden soll zwischen 0,03 und 0,6, insbesondere zwischen 0,04 und 0,4, liegen. Bevorzugt enthält die Füllung mehr Jod als Brom. Insbesondere wird Jod allein verwendet, mit maximal 10 % Brom-Anteil, molar gesehen.The molar ratio between In and rare earths should be between 0.03 and 0.6, in particular between 0.04 and 0.4. Preferably, the filling contains more iodine than bromine. In particular, iodine is used alone, with a maximum of 10% bromine content, molar seen.

Die Füllung enthält außerdem Na-Halogenid, insbesondere Na-Jodid. Das molare Verhältnis zwischen Na und Seltene Erden liegt zwischen 4 und 0,2, bevorzugt zwischen 3 und 0,3.The filling also contains Na-halide, especially Na-iodide. The molar ratio between Na and rare earths is between 4 and 0.2, preferably between 3 and 0.3.

Bei Überschreiten der absoluten Füllmenge für Seltene Erden wird die Farbtemperatur zu niedrig. Bei Unterschreiten der absoluten Füllmenge für Seltene Erden wird die Farbtemperatur zu hoch.When the absolute filling quantity for rare earths is exceeded, the color temperature becomes too low. When falling below the absolute capacity for rare earths the color temperature becomes too high.

Bei Unterschreiten des molaren Verhältnisses von In zu Seltene Erden wird die y-Komponente des Farborts zu hoch und der Farbort zu grünstichig. Bei Überschreiten des molaren Verhältnisses von In zu Seltene Erden wird der Lichtstrom zu niedrig.When the molar ratio of In to rare earths falls below the color component, the y component of the color locus becomes too high and the color locus too greenish. When the molar ratio of In to rare earths is exceeded, the luminous flux becomes too low.

Bei Unterschreiten des molaren Verhältnisses von Na zu Seltene Erden wird der Entladungsbogen zu sehr eingeschnürt. Bei Überschreiten des molaren Verhältnisses von Na zu Seltene Erden ist die Farbtemperatur zu niedrig.If the molar ratio of Na to rare earths is undershot, the discharge arc is constricted too much. When the molar ratio of Na to rare earths is exceeded, the color temperature is too low.

Die Farbtemperatur der Lampe liegt bevorzugt im Tageslichtbereich mit einer Farbtemperatur von 5000 bis 6000 K. Die spezifische Leistung, gegeben in Watt pro mm Bogenlänge, liegt bevorzugt unter 30.The color temperature of the lamp is preferably in the daylight range with a color temperature of 5000 to 6000 K. The specific power, given in watts per mm arc length, is preferably less than 30.

Diese Füllung eignet sich bevorzugt für Allgemeinbeleuchtungszwecke für niederwattige Lampen mit höchstens 150 W Nennleistung. Sie wird also für niedrige Leuchtdichten eingesetzt. Hier liegt die Wandbelastung bei typisch weniger als 40 W/cm2, die spezifische Leistung bei weniger als 30 W/mm Bogenlänge, der Elektrodenabstand liegt bei mehr als 5 mm, die InJ-Menge beträgt unter 0,1 mg/ml, insbesondere bei 0,03 bis 0,075 mg/ml. Damit lässt sich eine lange Lebensdauer, typisch mehr als 4000 Std. und gleichzeitig ein hoher Lichtstrom erzielen.This filling is preferably suitable for general lighting purposes for low-wattage lamps with a maximum rated power of 150 W. It is therefore used for low luminance. Here, the wall load is typically less than 40 W / cm 2 , the specific power at less than 30 W / mm arc length, the electrode distance is more than 5 mm, the InJ amount is less than 0.1 mg / ml, especially at 0.03 to 0.075 mg / ml. This allows a long life, typically more than 4000 hours and at the same time achieve a high luminous flux.

The bulbous part of the discharge vessel is partially surrounded by an outer bulb 12 which is rolled up in the region of the transition between the pinch seal 4 and the sleeve 7 (FIG. 13).

Der Außenkolben 12 weist eine umlaufende Delle 14 auf, so dass ein elastisches Trägerband 15 aus Metall an der inneren Oberfläche des Außenkolbens eingespreizt ist. Das Trägerband kann, falls nötig, Gettermaterialen wie Zr, Fe, V, Co enthalten. Sie dienen zum Absorbieren verschiedener Stoffe wie Sauerstoff, Wasserstoff, o.ä. Der Außenkolben kann mit Stickstoff, Edelgas, einem anderen inerten Gas oder auch Vakuum befüllt sein.The outer bulb 12 has a circumferential dent 14, so that an elastic carrier tape 15 made of metal is spread on the inner surface of the outer bulb. The carrier tape may, if necessary, contain gettering materials such as Zr, Fe, V, Co. They are used to absorb various substances such as oxygen, hydrogen, or similar. The outer bulb can be filled with nitrogen, inert gas, another inert gas or vacuum.

In einem anderen Ausführungsbeispiel wird zur Verbesserung der Zündeigenschaften ein Außenkolbengasgemisch von N2 und/oder CO2 mit Ne verwendet, wobei der Gesamtdruck zwischen 200 und 900 mbar liegt. Als Startgas im Brenner wird in diesem Fall ein Ne-Ar-, Ne-Kr- oder Ne-Ar-Kr-Penninggemisch eingesetzt.

In this case, a Ne-Ar, Ne-Kr or Ne-Ar-Kr Penning mixture is used as the starting gas in the burner. In particular, an outer bulb gas mixture N 2 / Ne or CO 2 / Ne with 300 mbar to 900 mbar total pressure is used to maintain the good ignition properties during the lifetime. The Ne share is between 25 and 60%.
