Definitions
- the invention relates to a discharge lamp according to the term O of claim 1.
- Discharge lamps in particular XBO ® -Hochdruckentladungs- lamps, have an ellipsoidal lamp envelope enclosing an anode and a cathode.
- the useful life of such discharge lamps is determined, inter alia, by the blackening of the lamp bulb during operation, which leads to a considerable loss of usable light.
- the blackening has different causes. One of them is the evaporation of anode material due to the high temperatures in the operation of the high pressure discharge lamp, which is deposited on the inner surface of the lamp envelope.
- Another cause of the blackening are contaminants of the gas filling in the lamp envelope, for example atmospheric residues, such as oxygen and moisture, which can only be removed in the production of the high-pressure discharge lamp with great expenditure of time and money.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a high-pressure discharge lamp which has a long service life at substantially constant light intensity.
- the discharge lamp according to the invention has a substantially ellipsoidal discharge vessel, which encloses an anode and a cathode, which are fixed in each case by current-carrying electrode holders, wherein these are passed in diametrically arranged on the discharge vessel piston shafts, wherein at the transition from the discharge vessel to the KolbenSften constrictions around the electrode holders
- the discharge vessel, the constrictions and / or the anode coating are designed such that blackening of the discharge vessel in the light-emitting region is provided.
- the discharge vessel, the constrictions and / or the anode coating are formed in such a way that the discharge vessel is surrounded by the discharge vessel is reduced or avoided. This has the advantage that each of these measures the useful life of a discharge lamp compared to the prior art is considerably increased, with approximately constant production costs.
- the discharge vessel preferably has a cylindrical cooling section substantially between a side of the anode remote from the cathode and a constriction. This has the advantage that, for example vaporized anode material can accumulate in this area and thus the discharge vessel blackens outside of the optically usable range.
- the cylindrical cooling section may advantageously have a diameter greater than the diameter of the cylindrical anode and may have a length substantially equal to half the length of the anode, thereby allowing a sufficiently large cooling section to deposit, for example, the vaporized anode material.
- the anode is coated with a radiation enhancing coating, preferably a tungsten paste.
- a radiation enhancing coating preferably a tungsten paste.
- connection channels can be designed in such a way that they ensure the relative position of the electrode holders with minimal pumping resistance in the production process, thereby enabling a simpler and more cost-effective pumping out of atmospheric residues.
- the diameter and / or the length of the connection channel can be minimized in order to advantageously achieve the lowest pumping resistance.
- transition region between the constrictions and the piston stems and in the transition region between the constrictions and the discharge vessel can be formed with respect to the electrode holders inclined walls.
- the discharge vessel has a cylindrical section approximately between a side of the cathode facing away from the anode and the constriction, whereby a mechanically stable transition from the discharge vessel to the constriction can be implemented.
- a pump tube is preferably formed.
- FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through a discharge lamp according to one embodiment.
- the figure shows a schematic representation of a double-ended XBO ® - high pressure discharge lamp 1 in short sheet technology.
- This has a discharge vessel 4 made of quartz glass with a discharge space 6 and two diametrically arranged on the discharge vessel 4, sealed Kolben2020ften 8, 10, the free end portions each with a base sleeve, which is not shown, can be provided.
- a gas discharge In the discharge space 6 protrude two in the piston stems 8, 10 extending electrodes 14, 16, between which occurs during lamp operation, a gas discharge.
- an ionizable filling is included, which consists essentially of high purity xenon.
- the electrodes 14, 16 are in the illustrated embodiment in each case as a two-part electrode system with a current-carrying, rod-shaped electrode holder 18, 20 and one, soldered to this discharge-side head electrode 22 (anode) and head electrode 24 (cathode).
- the right electrode head 24 is designed to generate high temperatures as a conical cathode 24 and cathode, respectively, to ensure a defined arc attachment and a sufficient electron flow due to thermal emission and field emission (Richardson's equation).
- the electrode head 22 is designed as a thermally highly loaded, barrel-shaped head anode 22 and anode, in which the radiation power is improved by a sufficient dimensioning of the electrode size.
- the surface of the head anode 22 is coated with a coating 25, preferably with a tungsten paste, whereby the head anode 22 has a higher emission coefficient of 0.55 and thus approximately one 40% higher emission compared to the prior art, where the emission coefficient is 0.4.
- the rod-shaped electrode holders 18, 20 each have two bearing points.
- One bearing point is in each case a current feedthrough system 26, 28 formed at the ends of the piston shafts 8, 10 and the other bearing point is a constriction 30, 32 arranged in the transition region between the discharge vessel 4 and the piston shafts 8, 10.
- the current feedthrough systems 26, 28 store the electrode holders 18, 20 respectively in the radial and axial directions and are hermetically sealed from the environment so that no air from the outside can penetrate into the piston skirt spaces 34, 36 enclosed by the piston stems 8, 10. These are connected to the discharge space 6 of the discharge vessel 4 via connecting channels 38, 40 which are delimited by a cylindrical inner wall 42, 44 of the constrictions 30, 32 and the electrode holders 18, 20.
- the radial height of the connecting channels 38, 40 which is measured from the inner walls 42, 44 to the surfaces of the electrode holders 18, 20, is on average about 0.4 to 0.5 mm and is substantially higher than in the state technology, where this height is 0.1 to 0.2 mm.
- the axial length of the connection channels 38, 40 is approximately 1.5 times the cross section of the electrode holders 18, 20.
- the constrictions 30, 32 have the same wall thickness as the piston shafts 8, 10 and are limited by inclined walls 46 in the transition region to the discharge vessel 4 and the piston shafts 8, 10.
- the axial length of the constrictions 30, 32 is minimizes and maximizes the radial height of the connection channels 38, 40, so that these dimensions are just sufficient for securing the radial position of the electrode holders 18, 20.
- the discharge vessel 4 has approximately between the side facing away from the cathode head 24 shadow side 48 of the head anode 22 and in the figure right wall 46 of the left constriction 30 has a substantially cylindrical cooling portion 50, whose diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the head anode 22 and its axial length corresponds to about half the axial length of the head anode 22.
- a pumping channel 52 Radially on the outer circumference of the cooling section 50, a pumping channel 52 is arranged in the figure, which is used in the manufacturing process of the high-pressure discharge lamp 1 described below and can be removed after the production.
- Another cylindrical portion 54 is formed at the opposite end to the cooling portion 50 of the discharge vessel 4, which has a substantially shorter axial length.
- the high-pressure discharge lamp 1 has an optical useful region 55, which is characterized by four dashed-dotted lines, wherein in operation the light is radiated essentially over this useful region 55.
- the use of a high-pressure discharge lamp after a certain period of operation results in blackening of the inner wall of the discharge vessel, which becomes stronger and darker with increasing operating time.
- This blackening is in an optical useful range and thus reduces the usable light of the high-pressure discharge lamp until it can no longer be used is.
- One cause of the blackening are the high temperatures of the anode during lamp operation, which lead to evaporation of the anode material, which then deposits on the inner wall of the discharge vessel.
- Another cause are contamination of the filling of the discharge vessel with, for example, oxygen and moisture, which also deposit in the form of a blackening.
- a blackening 56 in contrast to the prior art, advantageously lies outside the optical useful region 55, essentially on the piston inner surface 58 of the discharge vessel 4 in the region of the cooling section 50, in the transition region between the cooling section 50 and the remaining discharge vessel 4, and on the wall 46 between the cooling section 50 and the constriction 30, which is illustrated by a black coloring of the discharge vessel 4 in the figure.
- the blackening 56 is much lower compared to the prior art with the same operating time. The reasons for this are explained below.
- gas still present in the discharge vessel 4 for example air
- the discharge vessel 4 is filled with an ionizable filling and sealed airtight.
- the connecting channels 38, 40 make the greatest pumping resistance in the high-pressure discharge lamp 1.
- the connecting channels 38, 40 are dimensioned in such a way that they ne maximum height at minimum axial length to minimize the pumping resistance, while still a sufficient radial support of the electrode holder 18, 20 is ensured.
- a discharge lamp having a substantially ellipsoidal discharge vessel, which encloses an anode and a cathode, which are each fixed by current-carrying electrode holders, which are each passed through arranged diametrically on the discharge vessel piston shafts.
- constrictions are formed around the electrode holders, which have a connection channel between the discharge space enclosed by the discharge vessel and in each case the piston skirt space enclosed by the piston stems.
- the discharge vessel, the constrictions and / or the anode coating are designed such that a blackening in the optically usable region of the discharge lamp is reduced or avoided.
