Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for processing a lamp according to the preamble of claim 1 and a lamp processed by such a method.
- the invention can be applied to all lamps in which a light source, for example a filament of an incandescent lamp or an electrode for generating a discharge arc of a discharge lamp, is accommodated in a lamp bulb or the like.
- a light source for example a filament of an incandescent lamp or an electrode for generating a discharge arc of a discharge lamp
- the main area of application is likely to be halogen lamps, in particular halogen incandescent lamps or discharge lamps, in which the fill gas contains a proportion of halogens.
- halogen incandescent lamp and its manufacturing process are explained for example in DE 196 23 499 AI. Specific examples of these halogen light bulbs in low-voltage or high-voltage versions can be found at www.osram.de/ employment/allmaschine/halogen/ promoted.html.
- halogen incandescent lamps are generally produced by first providing a bulb tube on the end face with a rounded cap on which an axially projecting pump tube attachment is formed. A frame with a helix and power supplies is then inserted through the open feed opening of the piston. The lamp bulb is sealed gas-tight in the area of the feed opening by means of a pinch seal and the interior of the lamp bulb is flushed, evacuated and filled with filling gas via a pump tube melted onto the pump tube attachment. Finally, the pump tube is melted - the lamp bulb is sealed gas-tight.
- the surface of the lamp bulb can be matted using sandblasting, hydrofluoric acid etching, sol-gel coating with SiO 2 as scattering centers or the like. With this Matting is accompanied by a loss of luminous flux. If glare protection without loss of luminous flux or effect lighting with a light-dark effect is desired, an additional faceted envelope bulb can be placed on the lamp bulb. This assembly of the envelope piston requires additional outlay in terms of device technology.
- the lamp is first finished in the conventional manner, so that the filling gas is enclosed in a gas-tight manner in the lamp bulb.
- the lamp bulb is heated to a forming temperature according to the invention and then deformed by suitable tools or surface areas are melted or it is
- Material removed from a surface area of the lamp bulb in order to form a certain surface structure or glass structure for example in order to eliminate matting by remelting or removal or by removing material from the surface of the lamp bulb or in the case of soft glass to produce small cracks in the glass which act as scattering centers serve.
- the glass, in particular hard glass can be annealed by means of a subsequent laser treatment.
- the heat treatment of the complete lamp in a tempering furnace for the purpose of reducing the internal mechanical stresses in the glass can be dispensed with, and there is no risk of oxidation of base parts or power supply lines in the tempering furnace.
- the invention turns away from conventional methods in which the shaping / melting takes place immediately before or after the lamp bulb is filled - according to the invention, the lamp produced by the conventional method can only be seen as an intermediate product, which is in a further one Work step to the finished product is reworked.
- the laser beam is guided along a predetermined movement path in such a way that either a surface melting or removal of a surface layer takes place and, for example, matting can be removed or that a predetermined surface pattern is formed by melting or removal.
- a matting can also be produced in a predetermined area on the surface of the lamp vessel, by using the laser beam to produce the same cracks in soft glass bulbs which act as scattering centers.
- quartz glass glass is evaporated from the surface and removed, for example by suction. As a result, the surface is roughened, ie tiny, light-scattering cracks appear on the surface.
- the lamp bulb is heated to a forming temperature and then a final shaping of the lamp bulb is carried out by means of a tool, for example an approximately circular cross section after filling into a larger circular one or (for example by appropriate activation of the molding tools matched to the rotation of the lamp ) other, for example elliptical cross-section, which may be necessary for lamps with interference filter coating.
- a tool for example an approximately circular cross section after filling into a larger circular one or (for example by appropriate activation of the molding tools matched to the rotation of the lamp ) other, for example elliptical cross-section, which may be necessary for lamps with interference filter coating.
- the widened circular or elliptical cross-section can also assume an elliptical or another, non-cylindrical shape that is adapted to the spiral geometry.
- the last-mentioned method step can be used particularly advantageously in lamp constructions in which the illuminant is a filament of an incandescent lamp, which is fixed in position by means of knobs formed in the lamp bulb.
- the surface pattern formed, for example, by means of a laser beam can form facets that run parallel to the lamp axis or in the zigzag direction. This allows effect lighting to be achieved in the room (e.g. streaky lighting).
- Figure 1 is a front view of a halogen lamp
- Figure 2 is a schematic representation of an apparatus for performing the method
- FIG. 3 shows a halogen incandescent lamp processed using the method according to the invention with a matt lamp bulb
- FIG. 4 shows a lamp bulb in which a zigzag facet is applied
- FIG. 5 is a lamp bulb with parallel faceting and FIG. 6 shows a lamp whose lamp bulb was transformed from a circular cross section into another cross section by the method according to the invention.
- FIG. 7 shows a lamp bulb made of glass (preferably soft glass), in which matting was generated by means of a laser beam. Small cracks serve as scattering centers for matting.
- the invention is explained below with the aid of halogen incandescent lamps. As already mentioned at the beginning, however, the invention can also be used with other lamp types in which a lamp is arranged within a lamp bulb or the like.
- FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a halogen incandescent lamp which can be designed for low-voltage operation or mains voltage and which can be used, for example, in the living room or as a built-in lamp for furniture.
- the incandescent lamp 1 has a lamp bulb 2, which in the basic state is approximately the
- the lamp bulb 2 has the shape of a hollow cylinder, an end portion being formed by a crowned crown 4 with a pump tip 6.
- the lamp bulb 2 is made of quartz glass or hard glass.
- a pinch seal 8 is formed on the end section of the lamp bulb 2 lying below in FIG. 1, via which a frame 10 is held gas-tight in the lamp bulb 2.
- the frame has a filament 12, the axis of which extends coaxially with the lamp axis (vertical in FIG. 1).
- the spiral wire forms two current leads 14, 16, which are connected to molybdenum foils 18, 20 arranged in the pinch seal 8. These in turn are connected to base pins 22, 24 located outside the pinch 8.
- the pinching takes place by means of shaped crimping jaws, so that the formerly cylindrical base body of the lamp bulb 2 is pressed flat, so that the frame 10 is fixed in position with respect to the lamp bulb 2.
- a pump tube is placed in the area of the pump tip 6, through which the interior of the lamp bulb 2 is evacuated and filled with filling gas.
- this filling gas contains a proportion of halogens - the halogen circuit which arises when the lamp is in operation is well known, further explanations for this are unnecessary.
- the lamp bulb 2 can be matted by sandblasting after filling. Lamp manufacturers in particular often have the task of comparing the luminous flux of such matted lamps with that of unmatted lamps - this is done, for example, when analyzing competing products.
- the incandescent lamp 1 is arranged on a holder 26 which is rotatably mounted about the lamp axis.
- the surface of the lamp bulb is heated by means of a laser 28, the laser beam of which is deflected via focusing optics with a scanner mirror 30, so that a specific beam profile can be set.
- the scanner mirror 30 can be pivoted about a pivot axis arranged vertically to the plane of the drawing, so that the laser beam can be aligned along the vertical axis of the lamp.
- the scanner mirror 30 can also be mounted in such a way that it can also be moved in the transverse direction, i.e.
- Lamp bulb 2 are melted within a range predetermined by the beam profile and the rotation of the holder 26, the granular structure of the matting 31 melting or evaporating and the original, clear structure of the lamp bulb being established in the melted glass region.
- the luminous flux can then be easily determined.
- the process according to the invention makes it considerably easier to remove the matting compared to conventional solutions, in which, on the one hand, a very high rejection occurred due to the lamp bulb breaking and, on the other hand, a considerable amount of time of up to 30 minutes was required. With the solution according to the invention, the rejects will be reduced considerably, the duration of action of the laser beam being in the range of seconds.
- the lamp with a faceting, for example to achieve a light-dark effect or a glare protection without loss of luminous flux.
- a faceting can be applied after the filament lamp 1 has been filled, for example with the device shown in FIG. 2, with a zigzag-shaped faceting 32 according to FIG 4 or a parallel facetting 34 according to FIG.
- the zigzag-shaped faceting according to FIG. 32 consists of a large number of parallel zigzag grooves.
- other facet patterns for example wavy lines, intersecting lines or the like, can also be formed. 6 shows a further variant of an incandescent lamp processed by the method according to the invention.
- a lamp bulb 2 of a halogen incandescent lamp is shown, in which one or more filaments (not shown) are held by means of knobs 36 radially pressed into the lamp bulb 2.
- knobs 36 radially pressed into the lamp bulb 2.
- the incandescent lamp 1 is first produced in a conventional manner, the filament or filaments being fixed in position by means of the knobs. After the lamp bulb has been filled and closed, the partially finished incandescent lamp 1 is then inserted into the
- the lamp bulb 2 is heated to its forming temperature in the area around the filament by means of the laser 28 and then deformed by means of a suitable tool, for example a shaping roller, so that the round cross section 40 of the lamp bulb 2 is expanded to a larger diameter. can be expanded.
- a suitable tool for example a shaping roller
- a different, for example elliptical, shape can be produced along the piston axis.
- this subsequent reshaping of the lamp body can also be used in lamp constructions in which the knobs 36 or the like are not formed.
- a method for processing a lamp and a lamp processed using such a method are disclosed. This has a lamp bulb, in which a lamp with power supply lines is received and which delimits a space that holds a filling gas and is sealed by a pinch seal. According to the invention, a part of the lamp bulb is heated and deformed or remelted after the filling, in order to change the outer contour of the lamp bulb.
- a lamp vessel consisting of a glass, in particular hard glass or soft glass, which is used, for example, as an outer bulb for a halogen incandescent lamp or a high-pressure discharge lamp, can be provided with a matting by roughening part or all of the surface of the lamp vessel with the help of the laser by removing - that is, by evaporation and suction - from glass or by, in particular in the case of soft glass, by producing tiny cracks which act as scattering centers, the matting effect is produced
- the large-scale heating by means of a laser can reduce mechanical stresses in the glass and eliminate microscopic cracks on the glass surface.
- the finished lamps are usually subjected to heat treatment in a tempering furnace in order to reduce mechanical stresses in the glass.
- the disadvantage here is that base parts or the power supply can also be heated and oxidized.
- the glass bulb can be subjected to local heat treatment in a targeted manner in order to reduce mechanical stresses in the glass bulb without the power supply lines and the base parts being heated in the process.
