Definitions
- Electric light source in particular for use in a reflector
- the invention relates to an electric light source according to the preamble of claim 1. It relates in particular to reflector lamps based on high ⁇ pressure discharge lamps such as metal or high-pressure sodium discharge lamps.
- the discharge vessel is generally housed in an outer bulb.
- the invention is also applicable to reflector lamps based on halogen incandescent lamps or the like. Furthermore, it may be a lamp, which is intended for use in a reflector lamp.
- a reflector-loaded metal halide lamp with a ceramic discharge vessel is known.
- the power supply lines of this lamp which are located after the pre-assembly in the base pins of the base and survive at the end, fused by means of suitable welding process firmly with the pin material.
- the power supply is led out of the outer bulb and welded or soldered in a base pin.
- a halogen incandescent lamp in which a power supply, which is led out of an outer bulb, is held in a sheathing pin by means of egg ⁇ ner crimping of the pins.
- a very soft material of the power supply is necessary, which can not always be used.
- the power supply has an additional notch. Crimping a soft material
- a hard material e.g., nickel
- Molybdenum is the danger with the known technique, which loosens the connection again. This can be too
- the object of the present invention is to provide an electric light source, in particular for use in a reflector, which allows a permanent simple connection, and in particular enables an optical adjustment of the light source in a reflector.
- the outer power supply lines of the light source are each provided with a plurality of notches, wherein the power supply is made of a tough or hard material, in particular molybdenum or the like, and wherein at least one base pin is used for fastening, which is crimped in the region of the notches.
- the minimum number of notches is two, preferably at least three.
- the crimping should be at least one notch, preferably at least two Einker ⁇ environments, extend. In principle, it is possible to use only one notch, but then there is only a minimum adaptability, which depends only on the length of the crimp.
- the power supply to be fixed is provided with notches such as notches or slots or circumferential constrictions. This causes a positive connection between pin material and material of the power supply.
- Focus point of a reflector after adjustment when installed in the reflector is focused.
- the projecting from the base lamp power supply according to the invention provided within a defined route with multiple notches.
- the route is to be chosen so that the later crimping area is covered.
- the shape of the notches can be different.
- the result is a positive connection that can not solve under normal load.
- the strength of the connection is significantly increased. Relaxation of the compound, e.g. by transporting the lamps, is prevented by the toothed materials.
- this type of crimping can also be applied to other light sources where a permanent adjustment or a sweat-free connection is required.
- the inner vessel may be a discharge vessel alone or with outer bulb. It can also be the bulb of a halogen incandescent lamp.
- the base is preferably made of ceramic.
- a reflector lamp is presented with an inner vessel which is fixed in a reflector, wherein the inner vessel is mounted in a socket with at least one Kon ⁇ clock pin with hole.
- An external power supply which protrudes from the inner vessel, is inserted into the bore of the contact pin and held there by crimping, wherein the power supply is provided with a plurality of indentations and wherein the contact pin is crimped onto the power supply.
- a particularly secure holder is achieved in that the contact pin is crimped onto the power supply, that the crimping covers at least two of the notches.
- the power supply is made of molybdenum, so that the lamp can be operated in air.
- the base pennet is preferably made of soft Amterila, which is good crimpable.
- the contact pin is made of brass, copper or nickel or an alloy thereof.
- a preferred concrete application is a reflector lamp with an inner vessel containing a discharge vessel with a metal halide filling as a single vessel, or also accommodated in an outer bulb.
- Fig. 1 is a side view of a reflector lamp
- FIG. 2 shows the inner vessel of the reflector lamp of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 shows the representation of the inner vessel from FIG. 2 rotated by 90 ° without a base
- Fig. 5 shows the preparation of the crimping.
- a reflector lamp 1 is shown, with an inner vessel 2, consisting of a discharge vessel 3, which is surrounded by an outer bulb 9.
- the inner vessel 2 is seated in a central opening of a base 4.
- the inner vessel 2 is surrounded at a distance by a burst protection tube 5, which is of cylindrical design and is aligned parallel to the axis.
- the Berstschutzrohr 5 itself is ⁇ umum surrounded by a reflector 6 made of aluminum.
- the reflector has a neck 7 and a contour 8. The diameter of the neck is advantageously adjusted from outside to the through ⁇ diameter of the burst protective tube. Both parts are placed on the base 4 made of ceramic.
- FIG. 2 shows the inner vessel 2 in detail. From the pinch 11 of the outer bulb two power supply lines 12 made of molybdenum or a comparable material are led to the outside. These are illustrated as Figure 3, provided on one side over a distance L with notches 13. The power supply lines 12 are in contact pins or socket pins 14, see Figure 2.
- Figure 4 shows alternatives of the configuration of the notches 13. They may be V-shaped 13a (Figure 4a), or U-shaped 13b ( Figure 4b) or rectangular 13c ( Figure 4c) or trapezoidal 13d (Figure 4d), or as circumferential grooves 13e ( Figure 4e) be designed.
- the width B of the notches is preferably between 0.2d and l, 0d, where d is the diameter of the power supply 12.
- the depth T of the indentations is preferably between 0.2d and 0.5d.
- the number of notches can vary, depending on the length of the crimping zone and tolerance in the Adjustment, between 1 and 10, preferably between 2 and 10, notches lie.
- the distance A between the notches is preferably between 0.5d and 1, Od.
- the soft material of the base pin 14, which is already fixed in the base ceramic 4 is pressed into the notches 13 of the power supply lines or into a part (here: one) of the notches (arrows), whereby a form-fitting precisely adjusted connection arises.
- the inner vessel can also be closed on two sides, wherein only an external power supply is guided into the neck of the reflector and there crimped according to the invention.
