Abstract
Description
- Embodiments described herein relate generally to a heater.
- There is a heater for heating an object by radiant heat. Such a heater emits light in a visible light region to the outside when heat is generated. For this reason, for example, when such a heater is used for space heating, etc., it is required to prevent a user from being dazzled, which is a so-called anti-glare property.
- Therefore, a heater is proposed in which a coating that hardly transmits visible light is provided on an outer surface of a bulb. In this case, it is preferable that the coating easily transmits an infrared ray and hardly transmits visible light. For this reason, a technology is proposed to use a superposed film, in which a low refractive index film and a high refractive index film are alternately superposed, as the coating.
- Meanwhile, a coil that is a heating element and an anchor that supports the coil are provided inside the bulb. Since the anchor supports the coil, one end side of the anchor is in contact with the coil, and the other end side is in contact with an inner wall of the bulb. For this reason, heat generated in the coil is transmitted to the bulb through the anchor, and the heat transmitted to the bulb is transmitted to the coating. Here, since the high refractive index film provided in the coating contains a metal such as iron, discoloration of the coating may occur when a temperature of the coating becomes excessively high. In recent years, a heater of higher power is demanded. For example, when the heater has 2,000 W (watts) or more, there is concern that discoloration of the coating is likely to occur.
- Therefore, there is a desire for development of a heater capable of suppressing discoloration of the coating.

FIG. 2 is a schematic enlarged view of a portion A ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the heater ofFIG. 2 in a direction of a B-B line. -
FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view for illustrating a coating as a superposed film. - A heater according to an embodiment includes a tubular portion, a coil which is provided inside the tubular portion and extends along a tube axis of the tubular portion, and a coating which is provided on an outer surface of the tubular portion and in which a first film and a second film having a higher refractive index than a refractive index of the first film are alternately superposed. A gas containing krypton as a main component or a gas containing xenon as a main component is sealed inside the tubular portion. When a tube outer diameter of the tubular portion is set to D (mm) and a wall thickness of the tubular portion is set to T (mm), the following expression is satisfied:
- Hereinafter, an embodiment will be illustrated with reference to drawings. Incidentally, in the respective drawings, a similar component is denoted by the same reference symbol, and a detailed description thereof is omitted as appropriate.
- A
heater 1 according to the present embodiment can heat an object and a space where the object is placed. For example, theheater 1 can be used in a heating device that heats a space such as a store. However, the use of theheater 1 is not limited to the example illustrated. -
FIG. 1 is a schematic view for illustrating theheater 1 according to the present embodiment. -
FIG. 2 is a schematic enlarged view of a portion A ofFIG. 1 . - Incidentally, to avoid complication, in
FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , acoating 50 is not illustrated. -
FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of theheater 1 ofFIG. 2 in a direction of a B-B line. - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , abulb 10, afilament 20, ametal foil 30, alead 40, and thecoating 50 can be provided in theheater 1. - The
bulb 10 can include atubular portion 11, asealing portion 12, aprotrusion 13, and adimple 14. Thebulb 10 can be configured by integrally forming thetubular portion 11, thesealing portion 12, theprotrusion 13, and thedimple 14. Thebulb 10 can be formed from, for example, quartz glass. In this case, thebulb 10 can be formed from, for example, quartz glass that is transparent, that is, not colored. - The
tubular portion 11 can have, for example, a cylindrical shape. Thetubular portion 11 can have a form in which a total length L (length in a tube axis direction) is longer than a tube outer diameter D which is an outer diameter of thetubular portion 11. Incidentally, the total length L of thetubular portion 11 can be referred to as an effective light emission length. In this case, when a tube wall load of an inner wall of thetubular portion 11 becomes excessively high, a temperature of thetubular portion 11 becomes excessively high. Thus, there is concern that thetubular portion 11 may be deformed or durability of thetubular portion 11 may be lowered. For this reason, the tube outer diameter D and the total length L (effective light emission length) of thetubular portion 11 can be appropriately determined so as not to exceed a predetermined tube wall load depending on the power of theheater 1. For example, when the power of theheater 1 is 2,000 W (watts), the tube outer diameter D can be set to about 12 mm, and the total length L (effective light emission length) can be set to about 280 mm. - Gas can be sealed in an internal space of the
tubular portion 11. The gas can be sealed to inhibit heat generated in thecoil 21 from being transmitted to thetubular portion 11. For this reason, the gas is preferably a gas having a low heat conductivity. The gas can correspond to, for example, xenon (Xe), krypton (Kr), a gas mixture of krypton, nitrogen gas, etc. When the gas mixture of krypton and nitrogen gas is adopted, a ratio of krypton can be 90% or more. In this case, when xenon is used, it is possible to effectively inhibit the heat generated in thecoil 21 from being transmitted to thetubular portion 11. When krypton or the gas mixture of krypton and nitrogen gas is used, a manufacturing cost can be reduced. - In addition, the gas can contain a halogen substance such as bromine or iodine. For example, a small amount of dibromomethane (CH2Br2), etc. can be included in the aforementioned xenon, krypton, etc.
- As described above, a gas mainly containing krypton or a gas mainly containing xenon can be sealed in the
tubular portion 11. - A gas pressure (sealing pressure) at 25°C in the internal space of the
tubular portion 11 can be set to, for example, a pressure range from 0.6 bar (60 kPa) to 0.9 bar (90 kPa). Here, the gas pressure (sealing pressure) at 25°C in the internal space of thetubular portion 11 can be obtained from a standard state of gas (standard ambient temperature and pressure (SATP): temperature 25°C, 1 bar). - The sealing
portion 12 can be provided at both ends of thetubular portion 11 in the tube axis direction. By providingsealing portions 12 at both ends of thetubular portion 11, the internal space of thetubular portion 11 can be hermetically sealed. For example, a pair of sealingportions 12 can be formed by crushing both ends of the heatedtubular portion 11. For example, the pair of sealingportions 12 can be formed using a pinch seal method or a shrink seal method. When thesealing portion 12 is formed using the pinch seal method, a plate-like sealing portion 12 illustrated inFIG. 1 and FIG. 2 can be formed. When the sealingportion 12 is formed using the shrink seal method, acylindrical sealing portion 12 can be formed. - The
protrusion 13 can be provided on an outer surface of thetubular portion 11. Theprotrusion 13 can be provided to exhaust the internal space of thetubular portion 11 or introduce the gas into the internal space of thetubular portion 11 when theheater 1 is manufactured. Theprotrusion 13 can be formed by burning off a tube formed from quartz glass after exhaust and gas introduction. - The
dimple 14 can be formed by locally projecting the inner wall of thetubular portion 11. Thedimple 14 can be formed by heating thetubular portion 11 and locally pressing the outer surface of thetubular portion 11. For this reason, the outer surface of thetubular portion 11 at a position where thedimple 14 is formed is recessed toward the inside of thetubular portion 11. - The
dimple 14 protrudes from the inner wall of thetubular portion 11 into thetubular portion 11 and can come into contact with ananchor 23. Thedimple 14 can be provided to regulate a position of theanchor 23. Since thedimple 14 protrudes toward the inside of thetubular portion 11, the internal dimension of thetubular portion 11 at the position where thedimple 14 is formed is smaller than the internal dimension (inner diameter) of thetubular portion 11 at a position where thedimple 14 is not formed. For this reason, theanchor 23 can be held by thedimple 14. For example, as illustrated inFIG. 3 , a pair ofdimples 14 facing each other can be provided in a tube diameter direction, and theanchor 23 can be held by the pair ofdimples 14. When theanchor 23 is held by the pair ofdimples 14, a contact length between theanchor 23 and the inner wall of thetubular portion 11 can be reduced. For this reason, it is possible to inhibit heat generated in thecoil 21 from being transmitted to thetubular portion 11 via theanchor 23. - When a plurality of
anchors 23 is provided, the plurality ofdimples 14 can be provided in the tube axis direction. In this case, thedimples 14 can be provided for each of the plurality ofanchors 23, or thedimples 14 can be provided at a predetermined interval. In the case of theheater 1 illustrated inFIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , a pair ofdimples 14 is provided for threeanchors 23. Incidentally, the number and arrangement of thedimples 14 can be changed as appropriate according to the total length L of thetubular portion 11, the number ofanchors 23, etc. Further, depending on the total length L of thetubular portion 11, the number ofanchors 23, etc., thedimple 14 can be omitted. That is, thedimple 14 may be provided as necessary. - The
filament 20 can have thecoil 21, aleg 22, and theanchor 23. - The
coil 21 and theleg 22 can be integrally formed. Thecoil 21 and theleg 22 can be formed from, for example, tungsten, etc. - The
coil 21 can have a spiral shape. Thecoil 21 can be formed by, for example, winding a tungsten wire in a spiral shape. A general shape of thecoil 21 can be a cylindrical shape. Thecoil 21 can be provided in the internal space of thetubular portion 11. Thecoil 21 can be formed by extending a central region of thetubular portion 11 along the tube axis of thetubular portion 11. Thecoil 21 generates heat when electric conduction is performed and can emit light including an infrared ray. - The
leg 22 is provided at each of ends on both sides of thecoil 21. Theleg 22 has a linear shape and can extend from the end of thecoil 21 along the tube axis of thetubular portion 11. One end of theleg 22 is connected to the end of thecoil 21 in the internal space of thetubular portion 11, and the other end is connected to themetal foil 30 inside the sealingportion 12. The vicinity of the end of theleg 22 can be laser-welded with themetal foil 30. Theleg 22 may be used as a part that supplies power to thecoil 21. - As illustrated in
FIG. 3 , theanchor 23 can be provided in the internal space of thetubular portion 11. For example, the oneend 23a side of theanchor 23 can be provided on the outer surface of thecoil 21. For example, theend 23a side of theanchor 23 can be wound around the outer surface of thecoil 21 several times. For example, theend 23a side of theanchor 23 can have a spiral shape. For example, theother end 23b side of theanchor 23 can be brought into contact with the inner wall of thetubular portion 11. For example, theend 23b side of theanchor 23 can have a curved shape along the inner wall of thetubular portion 11. When theend 23a side of theanchor 23 is provided on the outer surface of thecoil 21, and theend 23b side of theanchor 23 is in contact with the inner wall of thetubular portion 11, thecoil 21 is supported on the internal space of thetubular portion 11 by theanchor 23. That is, theanchor 23 can be used as a support member that supports thecoil 21 against the inner wall of thetubular portion 11. - The
anchor 23 can be formed from, for example, tungsten, etc. Theanchor 23 can be formed, for example, by bending a tungsten wire. Incidentally, even though a case where thecoil 21 and theanchor 23 are separately formed is illustrated, thecoil 21, theleg 22, and theanchor 23 can be integrally formed from the same wire. However, when thecoil 21 and theanchor 23 are separately formed, a wire diameter of theanchor 23 can be made smaller than a wire diameter of thecoil 21. In this way, it is possible to inhibit heat generated in thecoil 21 from being transmitted to thetubular portion 11 via theanchor 23. For example, the wire diameter of theanchor 23 can be set to 0.35 mm or less. - When the
anchor 23 is provided, thecoil 21 can be positioned in the central region of the internal space of thetubular portion 11. For this reason, it is possible to inhibit thecoil 21 from fully coming into contact with or fully coming close to the inner wall of thetubular portion 11. In this case, at least oneanchor 23 can be provided. When a plurality ofanchors 23 is provided, the plurality ofanchors 23 can be provided at an equal interval at a predetermined pitch, or the plurality ofanchors 23 can be provided at an arbitrary pitch. The number and arrangement of theanchors 23 can be appropriately changed according to the length, rigidity, etc. of thecoil 21. - As described above, since the
dimple 14 protrudes toward the inside of thetubular portion 11, theend 23b side of theanchor 23 is elastically deformed by thedimple 14. For this reason, the position of theanchor 23 can be maintained by an elastic force. Further, when thedimple 14 is formed, a part on theend 23b side of theanchor 23 is provided inside thedimple 14. For this reason, the position of theanchor 23 can be maintained by thedimple 14. - One
metal foil 30 can be provided for one sealingportion 12. Themetal foil 30 can be provided inside the sealingportion 12. A planar shape of themetal foil 30 can be a square. For example, themetal foil 30 can be formed from molybdenum. - One
lead 40 can be provided for onemetal foil 30. Thelead 40 can have a linear shape. One end side of thelead 40 is connected to themetal foil 30 inside the sealingportion 12. For example, the one end side of thelead 40 can be laser-welded to themetal foil 30. The other end side of thelead 40 can be exposed to the outside of the sealingportion 12. A power source, etc. provided outside theheater 1 can be electrically connected to a pair of leads 40. For example, each of the pair ofleads 40 is connected to a connector, and the pair ofleads 40 can be electrically connected to the power source, etc. via a cable provided to the connector. Thelead 40 can be formed from, for example, molybdenum, etc. - The
coating 50 can be provided on the outer surface of thetubular portion 11. For example, thecoating 50 can be provided to cover the outer surface of thetubular portion 11. Here, when an average transmittance of thecoating 50 in a visible light region (wavelength region of 380 nm to 780 nm) is higher than 24%, glare increases in visibility evaluation. On the other hand, when this average transmittance is 24% or less, glare is reduced in the visibility evaluation. In this case, when this average transmittance is 21% or less, no glare is felt in the visibility evaluation. For this reason, it is preferable that thecoating 50 has an average transmittance in the visible light region of 24% or less. - Incidentally, when the average transmittance in the visible light region in a case where the
tubular portion 11 and thecoating 50 are combined is higher than 22%, glare increases in visibility evaluation. On the other hand, when this average transmittance is 22% or less, glare is reduced in the visibility evaluation. In this case, when the average transmittance is 19% or less, no glare is felt in the visibility evaluation. For this reason, thecoating 50 is preferably formed so that the average transmittance in the visible light region when thetubular portion 11 and thecoating 50 are combined is 22% or less. - The average transmittance in the visible light region can be obtained using, for example, a spectrophotometer V-570 manufactured by JASCO Corporation. For example, the average transmittance in the visible light region can be obtained by measuring the transmittance of light every 5 nm using the spectrophotometer V-570 in a wavelength range of 380 nm to 780 nm, and averaging the measured transmittances.
- In addition, it is preferable that the
coating 50 easily transmits an infrared ray and hardly transmits visible light. For example, thecoating 50 can be configured as a superposed film, in which a low refractive index film 51 (corresponding to an example of a first film) and a high refractive index film 52 (corresponding to an example of a second film) are alternately superposed. -
FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view for illustrating thecoating 50 as the superposed film. - As illustrated in
FIG. 4 , thecoating 50 can be configured as the superposed film, in which the lowrefractive index film 51 and the highrefractive index film 52 are alternately superposed. The lowrefractive index film 51 and the highrefractive index film 52 can be formed using, for example, a dipping method, a vacuum deposition method, a sputtering method, etc. - For example, the low
refractive index film 51 can be provided on the outer surface of thetubular portion 11. That is, the lowrefractive index film 51 can be set as the first layer. The thickness of the lowrefractive index film 51 can be set to, for example, about 80 nm. For example, the lowrefractive index film 51 can contain silicon oxide such as silicon dioxide (SiO2), or silicon oxide (SiO), magnesium fluoride (MgF2), etc. In this case, since thetubular portion 11 is formed from quartz glass, it is preferable that the lowrefractive index film 51 contains a component as close as possible to quartz glass as a main component. In this way, it is possible to improve the bonding strength between the lowrefractive index film 51 provided on the outer surface of thetubular portion 11 and the outer surface of thetubular portion 11. For example, when the lowrefractive index film 51 contains silicon dioxide as a main component, the bonding strength between the lowrefractive index film 51 and the outer surface of thetubular portion 11 is increased. Further, since silicon dioxide has chemical stability, heat resistance, and high mechanical strength, even when the lowrefractive index film 51 containing silicon dioxide as a main component is provided directly on the outer surface of thetubular portion 11 having a high temperature, a possibility of peeling or damage is low. - For example, the high
refractive index film 52 can be provided on the lowrefractive index film 51. That is, an odd-numbered layer starting from the first layer directly formed on the outer surface of thetubular portion 11 can correspond to the lowrefractive index film 51, and an even-numbered layer starting from the second layer can correspond to the highrefractive index film 52. The thickness of the highrefractive index film 52 may be the same as or different from the thickness of the lowrefractive index film 51. The thickness of the highrefractive index film 52 can be set to, for example, about 57 nm. The highrefractive index film 52 includes, for example, iron oxide such as iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3), copper oxide such as copper(I) oxide (Cu2O) or copper(II) oxide (CuO), etc. In this case, since copper(I) oxide easily transmits an infrared ray, the highrefractive index film 52 containing copper(I) oxide as a main component can improve emission efficiency of an infrared ray. - The number of superposed layers of the low
refractive index film 51 and the high refractive index film 52 (the total number of layers of the lowrefractive index film 51 and the high refractive index film 52) can be appropriately changed according to the required anti-glare property. For example, when the so-called high-glare type heater 1 is used, the number of superposed layers of the lowrefractive index film 51 and the highrefractive index film 52 can be set to about ten. Further, in a case where thecoating 50 has the lowrefractive index film 51 containing silicon dioxide as a main component and the highrefractive index film 52 containing iron(III) oxide as a main component, when theheater 1 is not subjected to electric conduction, a color of thecoating 50 is gold. - Here, the heat generated in the
coil 21 is transmitted to thecoating 50 through thetubular portion 11. In this case, oneend 23a side of theanchor 23 is in contact with thecoil 21, and theother end 23b side thereof is in contact with the inner wall of thetubular portion 11. For this reason, the heat generated in thecoil 21 is easily transmitted to thetubular portion 11 via theanchor 23, so that a surface temperature of thecoating 50 at the position where theanchor 23 is provided is likely to increase. Further, since thedimple 14 holds theanchor 23, the surface temperature of thecoating 50 at the position where thedimple 14 is provided is likely to further increase. - Since the surface of the
coating 50 is exposed to the environment where theheater 1 is installed, when the surface temperature of thecoating 50 becomes excessively high, gas, dust, etc. contained in the environment may react with a component contained in thecoating 50 to discolor the surface of thecoating 50. For example, when an uppermost layer of thecoating 50 is the highrefractive index film 52, metal contained in the highrefractive index film 52 may react with gas, dust, etc. When discoloration occurs in thecoating 50, a commercial value is lowered. In recent years, a heater having higher power is demanded. For example, when theheater 1 has 2,000 W (watts) or more, discoloration of thecoating 50 is likely to occur. - In this case, when the outer diameter of the
coil 21 is reduced, a distance between thecoil 21 and thecoating 50 can be increased, so that an increase in the surface temperature of thecoating 50 can be suppressed. However, in this way, the anti-glare property is degraded. - In addition, when the tube outer diameter D of the
tubular portion 11 is increased, the distance between thecoil 21 and thecoating 50 can be increased, so that an increase in the surface temperature of thecoating 50 can be suppressed. However, in this way, theheater 1 is increased in size. - In addition, when the tube outer diameter D of the
tubular portion 11 is constant and the wall thickness of thetubular portion 11 is increased, a distance between the inner wall of thetubular portion 11 and thecoating 50 can be increased, and thus an increase in the surface temperature of thecoating 50 can be suppressed. However, when the wall thickness of thetubular portion 11 is merely increased, there is concern that the distance between thecoil 21 and the inner wall of thetubular portion 11 may decrease and the surface temperature of thecoating 50 may increase. - Therefore, in the
heater 1 according to the present embodiment, an increase in the surface temperature of thecoating 50 is suppressed by a combination of a ratio (T/D) of the wall thickness T (mm) of thetubular portion 11 to the tube outer diameter D (mm) of thetubular portion 11 and a size of the tube outer diameter D (mm). - Table 1 is a table for showing a relationship between the ratio (T/D) of the wall thickness T (mm) of the
tubular portion 11 to the tube outer diameter D (mm) of thetubular portion 11 and occurrence of discoloration of thecoating 50 when the tube outer diameter D of thetubular portion 11 is changed from 10.0 mm to 15.0 mm.[Table 1] T/D Occurrence of discoloration D = 10.0 mm D = 11.0 mm D = 11.8 mm D = 12.0 mm D = 12.2 mm D = 13.0 mm D = 14.0 mm D = 15.0 mm 0.05 Present Present Present Present Present Present Present Present 0.08 Present Present Present Present Present Present Present Present 0.09 Present Present Slightly present Slightly present Slightly present Slightly present Slightly present Slightly present 0.10 Present Present Not present Not present Not present Not present Not present Not present 0.12 Present Slightly present Not present Not present Not present Not present Not present Not present 0.15 Present Not present Not present Not present Not present Not present Not present Not present 0.20 Present Not present Not present Not present Not present Not present Not present Not present - Table 1 shows a case where the power density of the
heater 1 is 7.14 W/mm or more. - Moreover, the
tubular portion 11 contains quartz glass. - The number of superposed layers of the low
refractive index film 51 and the highrefractive index film 52 is set to ten. The lowrefractive index film 51 contains silicon dioxide as a main component, and the highrefractive index film 52 includes iron(III) oxide as a main component. - As can be seen from Table 1, when "T/D ≥ 0.09" and "D ≥ 11.8 mm" are set, it is possible to suppress occurrence of discoloration of the
coating 50. In addition, when "T/D ≥ 0.10" and "D ≥ 11.8 mm" are set, it is possible to further effectively suppress occurrence of discoloration of thecoating 50. - In addition, according to a knowledge obtained by the present inventor, when the surface temperature of the
coating 50 can be set to 722°C or less, the occurrence of discoloration in thecoating 50 can be suppressed. - Table 2 is a table for showing the surface temperature of the
coating 50. Incidentally, Table 2 is a result of a case where electric conduction is performed 3,000 hours. In addition, theheater 1 was provided in the atmosphere. The pressure of the gas sealed in thetubular portion 11 was about 0.8 atm (81 kPa).[Table 2] Experiment (1) Experiment (2) Experiment (3) Experiment (4) Power 2000 W Tube diameter D (mm) φ12 Sealed gas Xe Kr Wall thickness T (mm) 1.0 1.2 1.0 1.2 Surface temperature of coating (°C) 769 678 762 708 - As can be seen from Table 2, in a case where the tube outer diameter D of the
tubular portion 11 is 12 mm, when the wall thickness T of thetubular portion 11 is set to 1.2 mm or more, the surface temperature of thecoating 50 can be set to 722°C or less. For this reason, it is possible to suppress occurrence of discoloration in thecoating 50. Incidentally, in the case of considering a manufacturing tolerance, when the tube outer diameter D of thetubular portion 11 is 12 mm ± 0.2 mm, it is sufficient that the wall thickness T of thetubular portion 11 is set to 1.2 mm ± 0.15 mm or more. - In addition, as can be seen from Table 2, when the gas sealed in the
tubular portion 11 is set to xenon, the surface temperature of thecoating 50 can be further lowered. On the other hand, when the gas sealed in thetubular portion 11 is set to krypton, the cost can be reduced to about 1/19 when compared to xenon. For this reason, the type of gas to be sealed can be selected according to the environment where theheater 1 is installed, etc. - While certain embodiments have been described, these embodiments have been presented by way of example only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the inventions. Indeed, the novel embodiments described herein may be embodied in a variety of other forms; furthermore, various omissions, substitutions and changes in the form of the embodiments described herein may be made without departing from the spirit of the inventions. The accompanying claims and their equivalents are intended to cover such forms or modifications as would fall within the scope and spirit of the inventions.
