Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electric light source according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • These are in particular reflector lamps based on high-pressure discharge lamps such as metal halide lamps or sodium high-pressure discharge lamps.
  • the discharge vessel is generally housed in an outer bulb.
  • the invention is also in reflector lamps based on halogen incandescent lamps or similar. applicable.
  • it may be a lamp, which is intended for use in a reflector lamp.
  • a reflective metal halide lamp is known with a ceramic discharge vessel.
  • 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.
  • crimping that is the deformation of the metal pins with spinning.
  • a halogen incandescent lamp is known in which a power supply, which is led out of an outer bulb, is held in a sheathing pin by crimping the pin.
  • a very soft material of the power supply is necessary, which can not always be used. Similar is in DD 295 274 shown that the power supply has an additional notch.
  • a soft material eg nickel
  • a hard or tough material eg molybdenum
  • the document WO 2004/046609 discloses an electric light source arranged in a concave reflector with an inner vessel, wherein the inner vessel is mounted in a socket with at least one contact pin with a bore. An external power supply, which protrudes from the inner vessel, is inserted into the bore of the contact pin is held there.
  • EP 0 839 381 B1 discloses a reflector incandescent lamp, with an inner vessel held in a reflector, wherein the inner vessel is supported in a socket with at least one contact pin with bore, wherein an external power supply, which protrudes from the inner vessel, is inserted into the bore of the contact pin and held there by crimping is.
  • the document DE 20 2004 012220 U1 apparently an electric lamp, wherein power supply lines protrude from the lamp vessel and are each connected to a contact pin.
  • Each contact pin comprises a slotted sleeve which closely surrounds a power supply in a press fit.
  • the document GB 2 369 255 A discloses a connection of two elongated parts, wherein one of the two parts provided at one end portion with circumferential grooves and sealing in an end-side opening of the other part is plugged in.
  • 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 on one side with a plurality of notches, wherein the power supply of a tough or hard material, in particular molybdenum or the like. is manufactured, 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 crimp should extend at least to a notch, preferably over at least two indentations. 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 on one side with notches such as notches or slots. This causes a positive connection between pin material and material of the power supply.
  • 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 contact pin with bore.
  • 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 notches 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 pin is made of soft material, 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.
  • 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 at a distance surrounded by a Burstterrorismrohr 5, which is cylindrical and is aligned parallel to the axis.
  • the Berstterrorismrohr 5 itself is in turn 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 adapted from the outside to the diameter of the Berststoffzens. 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 like FIG. 3 clarified, provided on one side over a distance L with notches 13. The power supplies 12 stuck in contact pins or socket pins 14, see FIG. 2 ,
  • FIG. 4 shows alternatives of the design of the notches 13. They may be V-shaped 13a (FIG. FIG. 4a ), or U-shaped 13b ( FIG. 4b ) or rectangular 13c ( Figure 4c ) or trapezoidal 13d ( FIG. 4d ) be.
  • the width B of the notches is preferably between 0.2 d and 1.0 d, 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 1.0d.
  • 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.
