Definitions
- the invention relates to a pump tube for a
- a conventional gas discharge lamp for example, a conventional fluorescent lamp, is often based on mercury as a light generator as part of the gas filling of
- a fluorescent lamp to reduce.
- open-loaded mercury systems are widely used, such as the Hg-Fe pill.
- Disadvantage of these systems and the associated production method is the relatively large dispersion of the amount of mercury in the gas discharge lamp.
- Encapsulated methods offer, with sufficiently accurate dosing, a much lower dispersion of the amount of mercury in the gas discharge lamp.
- the absolute amount of mercury in the gas discharge lamp can be reduced.
- the handling of mercury in hermetically sealed (otherwise airtight) capsules also ensures a separation of mercury dosing and lamp manufacturing and thus a substantially mercury-free lamp manufacturing.
- a capsule made of special glass is in accordance with EP 0 772 219 AI in the pump stalk (hereinafter also referred to as Pumprohr) in
- the capsule is opened by laser and thermally heated so that the mercury is driven from the capsule into the fluorescent lamp. Subsequently, the pump stalk is briefly melted off and the fluorescent lamp is completed.
- Various embodiments provide a simplified and inexpensive filling of a gas discharge lamp with a gas filling, the more accurate metering
- a pumping tube (also referred to as a pumping stem) for a gas discharge lamp, the pumping tube having a pumping hole; a first portion of the pump tube on one side of the Pumping hole having an inlet for filling a gas; a second portion of the pump tube on a relative to the
- a lamp envelope fill receiving portion configured to receive at least a portion of a gas charge for the gas discharge lamp and retain the at least a portion of the gas charge until after insertion of the blowpipe into a lamp envelope of the gas discharge lamp, the lamp envelope fill receiving portion in the second portion the pump tube is arranged.
- the lamp envelope filling receiving area is positioned with respect to the pumping hole on the side which extends farther into the lamp bulb interior than the first area of the pumping tube accessible from the outside of the bulb bulb, which is externally connected to evacuate the bulb tube
- Lamp bulb and possibly also for supplying a portion of the filling gas of external lamps. However, it may also be the entire gas filling in the lamp envelope filling receiving area
- a noble gas is introduced into the lamp envelope is "contaminated" with mercury, which also contributes to a highly accurate dosage of the absolute amount of mercury and a reduction in the dispersion of the amount of mercury. Also, so can the use of mercury in the Production is better controlled and a burden on
- the lamp envelope filling receiving area may be formed as a chamber in the pump tube.
- Perspective of the pump hole from can be formed, after introducing the at least a portion of the gas filling on the pump hole opposite side (for example
- the lamp envelope filling receiving area may be formed in the outer wall of the pump tube.
- the outer wall of the pump tube in the second region of a depression may be introduced (or the wall of the pump tube may be bent accordingly), which forms the lamp envelope filling-receiving area.
- This embodiment also achieves a very simple and thus cost-effective production, since no additional separate parts are needed to form the lamp envelope filling receiving area. It is illustratively the standard pump tube simply formed with a slightly larger length, so that in addition to the pump hole still a Pumprohr extension is formed, which clearly serves to form the depression.
- the lamp vessel filling receiving area can be set up to receive at least part of the gas filling in solid form, for example in the form of pills,
- Mercury-containing pills for example, for receiving one or more mercury-iron pills.
- Such mercury iron pills contain mercury, which in
- the lamp envelope filling receiving area can be set up to receive at least part of the gas filling in liquid form, for example in the form of liquid mercury. Both upon introduction of a part of the gas filling in solid form and in liquid form, the lamp envelope filling receiving area can be set up to receive a further part of the gas filling in gaseous form.
- the further part may be, for example, one or more inert gas.
- the lamp envelope filling receiving area can be set up to receive at least part of the gas filling in gaseous form.
- the entire gas filling for example a noble gas or a plurality of noble gases and mercury, in the
- Lamp bulb charge receiving area to be added.
- the lamp envelope When the entire gas filling in the lamp envelope filling receiving area is taken up, the lamp envelope can be completely evacuated and then closed, without having to provide additional filling steps via the pump tube.
- the Lamp bulb filling receiving area with a lid for example, be covered in the form of a film, such as a metallic foil and gas-tight sealed or sealed, for example, welded.
- the film can be very thin or locally thinned or structured (clearly provided with predetermined breaking points).
- the Lampenkolben spallung- receiving area can also be fused, then the material of the pump tube can serve to close.
- the embodiments are advantageously used, since it is avoided by the various embodiments, that the first portion of the pump tube comes into contact with the mercury at all. This enables a highly accurate metering of the required mercury, generally the part of the gas filling, for example of the light-generating material. Also, the dispersion of the amount of mercury is further reduced.

- the pump tube further comprises a coupled between two power supply lines as an electrode
- the pump tube further comprises a plugged onto the pump tube gas discharge lamp plate, which together with the power supply lines and the helix, a pedestal is formed.
- the lamp bulb filling receiving area can lie between the pump hole and the electrode, whereby the access to the pump hole remains free.
- Such a pedestal can be prepared separately from the completion of the gas discharge lamp and the lamp envelope filling receiving area to be filled. This allows a better control of the dosage of the part of the gas filling, For example, the mercury dosage, and reduces potential risks.
- the exhaust tube can be made of glass, for example, REED glass 8516 from Schott Glas, thus providing a simple way of using, for example, a Nd-Yag laser, that the laser light is substantially completely unattenuated by the material of the lamp envelope and strongly absorbed by the REED glass, whereby the irradiated area of the REED glass can be locally heated strongly and thus the lamp envelope filling receiving area, when it is closed by means of the REED glass, can be opened in a simple manner.
- the pump tube can be used in a gas discharge lamp, for example a fluorescent lamp.
- a pumping hole such that a first portion of the pumping tube is formed on one side of the pumping hole with an inlet for introducing a gas, and that a second portion of the pumping tube is disposed on a relative to the inlet
