-
FIG. 1 is a schematic view illustrating a heater lamp of a first embodiment. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , aheater lamp 110 of the embodiment includes a light-emittingtube 10 and afilament 20. - The light-emitting
tube 10 includes a bent part. That is, the light-emittingtube 10 includes astraight part 11, astraight part 12, astraight part 13, abent part 14 provided between thestraight parts bent part 15 provided between thestraight parts straight part 11 includes oneend 11a and theother end 11b. - In the embodiment, an angle between a direction in which the
straight part 11 extends and a direction in which thestraight part 12 extends is arbitrary. Thestraight part 12 is connected to the oneend 11a of thestraight part 11 through thebent part 14. That is, oneend 12a of thestraight part 12 is connected to the oneend 11a of thestraight part 11. A direction in which the light-emittingtube 10 extends may be continuously smoothly changed between thestraight part 11 and thestraight part 12. - In the embodiment, an angle between the direction in which the
straight part 11 extends and a direction in which thestraight part 13 extends is arbitrary. For example, in the embodiment, thestraight part 13 is parallel to a plane including thestraight part 11 and thestraight part 12. - The
straight part 13 is connected to theother end 11b of thestraight part 11. That is, oneend 13a of thestraight part 13 is connected to theother end 11b of thestraight part 11. - For example, the
straight part 13 and thestraight part 12 are arranged side by side along the direction in which thestraight part 11 extends. That is, a direction directed from thestraight part 12 toward thestraight part 13 is parallel to the direction in which thestraight part 11 extends. The light-emitting tube is, for example, C-shaped. - The inside of the light-emitting
tube 10 is blocked from the outside. The inside of the light-emittingtube 10 is hermetically sealed. That is, in the embodiment, theother end 12b of thestraight part 12 of the light-emittingtube 10 is a first sealingpart 12c. Theother end 13b of thestraight part 13 of the light-emittingtube 10 is a second sealingpart 13c. - The
filament 20 is provided in aninside space 30 of the light-emittingtube 10. For example, thefilament 20 extends from the first sealingpart 12c to the second sealingpart 13c through thestraight part 12, thebent part 14, thestraight part 11, thebent part 15 and thestraight part 13. - A
first end 20a of thefilament 20 on the first sealingpart 12c side is connected to a firstconductive part 31 sealed in the first sealingpart 12c. Asecond end 20b of thefilament 20 on the second sealingpart 13c side is connected to a secondconductive part 32 sealed in the second sealingpart 13c. - The other end of the first
conductive part 31 is connected to anouter lead 41. At least a part of theouter lead 41 is positioned outside the light-emitting tube 10 (outside the first sealingpart 12c). The other end of the secondconductive part 32 is connected to anouter lead 42. At least a part of theouter lead 42 is positioned outside the light-emitting tube 10 (outside the second sealingpart 13c). - For example, an anchor member to hold the
filament 20 may be provided in the light-emittingtube 10. - A filler gas (not shown) is filled in the inside space of the light-emitting
tube 10. The filler gas includes a noble gas (noble gas element), bromine and nitrogen (for example, nitrogen molecules). The noble gas includes at least one of argon, krypton and xenon. - For example, quartz glass is used for the light-emitting
tube 10. A cross section of the light-emittingtube 10 cut at a plane perpendicular to the direction in which the light-emittingtube 10 extends is, for example, circular. - For example, a Mo foil is used for the first
conductive part 31 and the secondconductive part 32. Besides, for example, a Mo rod is used for theouter lead 41 and theouter lead 42. - In the embodiment, a nitrogen molecule volume concentration Cv to the noble gas is 1 vol% or more and 30 vol% or less. The nitrogen molecule volume concentration to the noble gas can be obtained by, for example, a so-called GC-MS method in which the
heater lamp 110 is broken in a closed space to collect the gas, the gas is separated by gas chromatography, and molecules are identified by mass spectrometry. - The lamp input power per unit length of the
heater lamp 110 is 70 W/cm or more. The lamp input power per unit length is expressed by a value obtained by dividing the power supplied to theheater lamp 110 by the lamp length, in the embodiment, the filament length (cm). In the embodiment, for example, the lamp input power is 2000 W (Watt). The length of theheater lamp 110 is 26 cm (centimeter). The lamp input power per unit length is 76.9 W/cm. The lamp input power per unit length is preferably 70 W/cm or more and is more preferably 75 W/cm or more. This is because when the lamp input power per unit length is 70 W/cm or more, infrared rays can be efficiently radiated to a target of theheater lamp 110. When the lamp input power per unit length is 75 W/cm or more, infrared rays can be more efficiently radiated. The lamp length is preferably in a range of 15 to 50 cm, and more preferably, 20 to 40 cm. When the lamp length is less than 10 cm, the formation of the heater lamp having the bent part is difficult. When the lamp length is longer than 50 cm, the power source for supplying power to the lamp becomes large, and this is not realistic. - In the
heater lamp 110, when the lamp input power per unit length is 70 W/cm or more, a color temperature T of theheater lamp 110 at the time of operation is 2600 K (Kelvin) or higher. That is, the color temperature T of light outside the light-emittingtube 10, which is generated when the power is supplied to thefilament 20 so as to satisfy that the lamp input power per unit length is 70 W/cm or more, is 2600 K (Kelvin) or higher. The color temperature T can be measured in such a way that for example, a spectrometer MSR-7000 of Opto Research Corporation is used, the lamp is lit, and a detector of the spectrometer is arranged at a position separated by 1 m. - According to the embodiment, electric discharge in the filler gas is suppressed, and the life can be prolonged. According to the embodiment, the heater lamp with long life can be provided.
- When the filament provided inside the heater lamp is broken during lighting, high voltage is applied between the broken filaments, and electric discharge may be generated between the broken filaments. However, the inventor found that the electric discharge could occur in spite of not being the broken state. Especially, this phenomenon occurs at high load and in the heater lamp having the bent part, not in a straight tube. When the phenomenon was studied, a phenomenon was observed in which arc discharge occurred in the whole inside of the heater immediately after lighting. The heater bursts by the arc discharge. The inventor paid attention to this phenomenon.
- In the heater lamp with high load, electric discharge becomes liable to occur in the heater lamp by thermionic electron emission from a coil (filament 20) or ionization of the filler gas. At this time, an electric current flows more easily through the gas (filler gas) than through the filament. Especially, when the bent part is provided, since the light-emitting tubes of the heater lamp approach each other more than a straight tube, the electric current flows more easily through the gas of the heater lamp. The color temperature of light emitted from the
filament 20 correlates with the thermionic electron emission from the filament. As the color temperature of the filament becomes high, the thermionic electron emission from the filament increases. The inventor found the electric discharge was liable to occur under the condition that the color temperature of light emitted from the light-emitting tube was 2600 K or higher. - The inventor performed an experiment while changing components of the filler gas. By this, the inventor found that as compared with a case where bromine with electron adsorption properties and noble gas (at least one of Ar, Kr and Xe) were used as the filler gas, when nitrogen was further introduced to the filler gas, the electric discharge was suppressed. The discharge start voltage of nitrogen is higher than that of bromine and noble gas. The electric discharge can be suppressed by introducing such nitrogen.
- At this time, if the concentration of nitrogen in the filler gas is excessively high, damage of the
filament 20 becomes severe. There is a concentration of nitrogen suitable to suppress the damage of the filament while the electric discharge is suppressed. - In the embodiment, the concentration of nitrogen in the filler gas is suitably set. For example, the volume concentration Cv of nitrogen molecules to the noble gas is 1 vol% or more and 30 vol% or less. By this, the damage of the
filament 20 is suppressed while the electric discharge is suppressed. - Here, when the nitrogen gas is added to the inert gas, as compared with the case of only the inert gas, the aerial discharge can be suppressed. Although the reason why the aerial discharge is suppressed is not necessarily clear, for example, the following is conceivable.
- The breakdown voltage of a simple substance, such as argon, krypton or xenon, or an inert gas including at least two kinds of these, to which the nitrogen gas is added is higher than the breakdown voltage of the simple substance, such as argon, krypton or xenon, or a mixture gas of only the inert gas including at least two kinds of these.
- That is, when the nitrogen gas is added to the inert gas, the breakdown voltage can be increased, and therefore, the occurrence of the aerial discharge can be suppressed.
-
FIG. 2 is a view illustrating characteristics of the heater lamp of the embodiment. - Here, in order to find a condition of not generating electric discharge, the inventor obtained lamp input power [W/cm] per unit length, lamp color temperature T [K], and nitrogen gas volume concentration Cv [vol%].
FIG. 2 shows the results. - In
FIG. 2 , a "O" mark indicates that the electric discharge did not occur. Besides, a "X" mark indicates that the electric discharge occurred. - As is apparent from
FIG. 2 , when the lamp input power per unit length is 70 W/cm or more, and when the nitrogen gas volume concentration Cv is 1 vol% or more, the electric discharge does not occur. That is, when the color temperature T is 2600 K or higher, the lamp input power per unit length is 70 W/cm or more, and the nitrogen gas volume concentration Cv is 1 vol% or more, the electric discharge does not occur. - However, if the nitrogen gas volume concentration Cv is excessively increased, a phenomenon occurs in which tungsten nitride is generated, and the
filament 20 is damaged. As a result, for example, the inside of the light-emittingtube 10 is blackened, or thefilament 20 itself is broken. When the inside of the light-emittingtube 10 is blackened, the light-emitting performance of theheater lamp 110 is reduced. Thus, the quality of theheater lamp 110 is reduced. Besides, when thefilament 20 itself is broken, the aerial discharge occurs in theheater lamp 110, and there is a fear that theheater lamp 110 is damaged. - According to the knowledge obtained by the inventor, in order to suppress the aerial discharge and the damage of the
filament 20, the volume concentration Cv of nitrogen gas is preferably 30 vol% or less. - Besides, the similar tests were performed while the similar light-emitting
tubes 10 were used, and theheater lamps 110 were formed under the conditions that the length of the lamp was 26 cm and the lamp input power was 3500 W (lamp input power per unit length: 135 W/cm), the length of the lamp was 28 cm and the lamp input power was 3000 W (lamp input power per unit length: 107 W/cm), and the length of the lamp was 50 cm and the lamp input power was 7000 W (lamp input power per unit length: 140 W/cm). When the lamp input power per unit length was 70 W/cm or more, and the color temperature T was 2600 K or higher, and when the nitrogen gas volume concentration Cv was 1 to 30 vol%, the electric discharge was suppressed. - According to the embodiment, the electric discharge can be suppressed. Besides, the damage of the filament can also be suppressed. By this, the life of the heater lamp can be prolonged.
- Incidentally, an attempt is made to reduce a resistance difference between the time of normal temperature and the time of lighting and to reduce a rush current by adding rhenium to the filament. However, an electron emission property is increased by the addition of rhenium and a filament resistance value at the time of start is increased. Thus, the aerial discharge becomes liable to occur.
- In the embodiment, the increase of the electron emission property and the increase of the filament resistance value at the time of start do not substantially occur.
- The
heater lamp 110 of the embodiment is used for, for example, molding of a resin container (for example, PET bottle). An irradiation target heated by theheater lamp 110 of the embodiment is arbitrary. - According to the embodiment, the heater lamp with long life can be provided.
