Description

  The present invention relates to a lamp unit including a main reflection member and a sub-reflection member, and a projector including the lamp unit.

Generally, a lamp unit for a projector has a reflecting member (a sub-reflection which will be described later) having a concave reflecting surface for condensing light emitted from a high-pressure discharge lamp (hereinafter simply referred to as “lamp”) on the illuminated side. In order to distinguish it from the members, they are hereinafter referred to as “main reflecting members”).
In addition to the main reflecting member described above, a lamp unit further including a sub-reflecting member is known. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a lamp unit including a sub-reflection member for reflecting light emitted from a lamp toward an illuminated side to a reflection surface of a main reflection member. By providing such a sub-reflective member, the light emitted from the lamp to the illuminated side is once reflected on the reflecting surface of the main reflecting member without being diffused, and is condensed on the illuminated side by the main reflecting member. Can do. Therefore, the light emitted from the lamp can be used efficiently, and the light collection efficiency is higher than that of the lamp unit that does not include the sub-reflection member.

By the way, as one method for improving the luminous efficiency of the lamp unit, it is conceivable to increase the vapor pressure of the metal halide compound enclosed in the glass bulb. For example, in the lamp unit of Patent Document 1, a heat insulating film is provided on a part of the outer surface of the glass bulb, and the glass bulb is warmed to increase the vapor pressure in the glass bulb.
JP-A-8-31382

However, simply providing a heat insulating film on the glass bulb may not sufficiently increase the vapor pressure in the glass bulb, and the luminous efficiency of the lamp unit may not be improved. In addition, a process for providing the protective film must be added separately, which complicates the manufacturing process.
In view of the above problems, it is a main object of the present invention to provide a lamp unit that can sufficiently increase the vapor pressure in a glass bulb and has high luminous efficiency and that does not require a complicated manufacturing process. Another object of the present invention is to provide a projector including the lamp unit.

  In order to achieve the above object, a lamp unit according to the present invention includes a glass bulb having a light emitting portion and first and second sealing portions extending on both sides of the light emitting portion, and one end in the light emitting portion. The first and second electrodes that face each other and the other end is located in the first or second sealing portion, and are sealed in the first and second sealing portions that are bonded to the end portions of the electrodes on the sealing portion side, respectively. A high-pressure discharge lamp including the first and second metal foils, a main reflection member that holds the first sealing portion and reflects light emitted from the light-emitting portion toward the illuminated side; 2 A lamp unit that is attached to the sealing portion and includes a sub-reflection member that reflects light emitted from the light-emitting portion toward the illuminated side to the main reflection member, wherein the sub-reflection member The sub-reflective member body on which the surface is formed and the illumination method from the center rear surface of the sub-reflective member body A cylindrical portion extending from the base end of the second electrode to the extended end, with the edge positioned in the second sealing portion of the second electrode being present between the base end and the extended end. Two sealing portions are loosely inserted, and at least a fixing agent is filled and fixed to a portion closest to the end edge in a gap between the cylindrical portion and the second sealing portion.

The “high pressure discharge lamp” in the present application includes a high pressure mercury lamp, a metal halide lamp, and the like.
A projector according to the present invention includes the lamp unit.

  In the lamp unit according to the present invention, the fixing agent for attaching the sub-reflection member to the lamp is in the second sealing portion of the second electrode in the gap between the cylindrical portion of the sub-reflection member and the second sealing portion of the lamp. Since the portion closest to the positioned edge is filled, the vicinity of the edge that tends to be the coldest point can be warmed by the fixing agent. Therefore, the vapor pressure in the glass bulb is increased and the luminous efficiency of the lamp is increased, so that the luminous efficiency of the lamp unit is also high. In addition, it can be manufactured in the same process as the conventional one, and it is not necessary to add a new process separately.

  Since the projector according to the present invention has the lamp unit with high luminous efficiency, a good image can be projected.

Hereinafter, a lamp unit and a projector according to embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As the fixing agent 71, for example, an inorganic adhesive whose main component is silica, alumina, silica-alumina, or the like is conceivable, and Sumiceram S (manufactured by Asahi Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) is an example of the inorganic adhesive.

The main reflecting member 23 is a dichroic reflecting mirror made of hard glass, for example, and the reflecting surface 65 is a dielectric multilayer film (for example, TiO ₂ / SiO ₂ or Ta ₂ O ₃ / SiO ₂₎ formed by, for example, a vacuum deposition method. ). The main reflecting member 23 reflects the visible light emitted from the light emitting unit 33 to the irradiated side by the reflecting surface 65.

Specifically, the second sealing portion 37 of the lamp 21 is loosely inserted into the cylindrical portion 79 of the sub-reflective member 25, and the focal point of the sub-reflective member 25 and the first and second electrodes 45 and 47 of the lamp 21 are inserted. It is attached in a state of alignment so that the center position (between the electrode coils 61 and 63) coincides.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the vicinity of the light emitting part of the high-pressure discharge lamp. In the above state, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the edge 47 a located in the second sealing portion 37 of the second electrode 47 is between the base end and the extending end of the cylindrical portion 79. Existing. In the sub-reflection member 25, the cylindrical portion 79 is a portion on the right side of the two-dot chain line X shown in FIG. 3, and the sub-reflection member main body 77 is a portion on the left side of the two-dot chain line X. The two-dot chain line X is a line connecting points P1 and P2 where the outer diameter of the sub-reflection member 25 changes.

  The sub-reflection member 25 is fixed to the second sealing portion 37 by filling the gap between the cylindrical portion 79 and the second sealing portion 37 with the fixing agent 81. As the fixing agent 81, for example, an inorganic adhesive whose main component is silica, alumina, silica-alumina or the like is conceivable, and an example of the inorganic adhesive is Sumiceram S (manufactured by Asahi Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.). Details of the fixing agent 81 will be described later.

The sub-reflection member 25 is made of, for example, quartz glass, and the reflection surface 75 is made of a dielectric multilayer film (for example, TiO ₂ / SiO ₂ or Ta ₂ O ₃ / SiO ₂ ) formed by, for example, a vacuum deposition method. ing. The sub-reflection member 25 reflects the visible light emitted from the light emitting unit 33 toward the illuminated side with the reflection surface 75 to the reflection surface 65 of the main reflection member 23.

5 and nickel wires 107 and 109 connected to core members 95 and 97 on the side connected to the external lead wires 53 and 55 of the lamp 21. The core materials 95 and 97 and the nickel wires 107 and 109 peel off the coating materials 99 and 101 of the coated conductive wires 103 and 105, and the exposed core materials 95 and 97 and the nickel wires 107 and 109 are connected to the inside of the connection sleeves 111 and 113. And the connection sleeves 111 and 113 are caulked and connected.

The lead wire 91 (93) and the connector 119 (121) are coated so that the core material 95 (97) inside the coating material 99 (101) extends into the connection part 123 of the connector 119 (121). 99 (101) is connected by fixing to the fixing part 125 of the connector 119 (121). The covered conducting wires 103 and 105 are further covered with protective tubes 127 and 129.

<About the sticking agent>
As shown in FIG. 2, the first and second metal foils 49 and 51 are interposed between the first and second electrodes 45 and 47 and the first and second external lead wires 53 and 55, Since the first and second metal foils 49 and 51 are sealed by the first and second sealing portions 35 and 37, the discharge space 31 is kept in a sealed state.

  This is because, generally, the first and second electrodes 45 and 47 are made of rod-shaped metal material (for example, made of tungsten), and as shown in FIG. 3, the first and second electrodes 45 and 47 and the first and second electrodes are made. There are gaps 87 and 89 between the sealing portions 35 and 37, but the first and second metal foils 49 and 51 are made of a metal material (for example, made of molybdenum) formed in a foil shape. This is because there is hardly any gap between the first and second metal foils 49 and 51 and the first and second sealing portions 35 and 37. In addition, since the joint portions 45b and 47b (portions indicated by hatching in FIG. 2) between the first and second electrodes 45 and 47 and the first and second metal foils 49 and 51 have a relatively complicated structure, glass Clearances 87 and 89 are likely to occur between the two.

  Since the gaps 87 and 89 are connected to the discharge space 31, mercury vapor in the discharge space 31 also enters the gaps 87 and 89. Since the gaps 87 and 89 are far from the light emission center, the gaps 87 and 89 are likely to be at a lower temperature than the discharge space 31, and among them, in the first and second sealing portions 35 and 37 of the first and second electrodes 45 and 47 farthest from the light emission center. In the vicinity of the end edges 45a and 47a, the temperature tends to be particularly low. Of these end edges 45a and 47a, the vicinity of the end edge 47a of the second electrode 47 located in the second sealing portion 37 at a lower temperature is the coldest point because it protrudes from the main reflecting member 23. easy.

  Therefore, in the lamp unit 20 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the fixing agent 81 is filled over the entire gap between the second sealing portion 37 and the cylindrical portion 79. Since the heat radiation from the glass bulb 39 to the atmosphere is prevented by filling the fixing agent 81 in this manner, the temperature of the coldest point rises and the vapor pressure in the discharge space 31 is kept high, and the lamp unit 20 The luminous efficiency is improved.

  If the sticking agent 81 protrudes on the reflection surface 75 of the sub-reflection member 25, the sticking agent 81 blocks light emitted from the light emitting portion 33 toward the reflection surface 75 of the sub-reflection member 25, and There arises a problem that the light collection efficiency of the lamp unit 20 is lowered. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the fixing agent 81 is preferably filled in a portion that does not block the light L <b> 3 emitted from the light emitting unit 33 toward the reflecting surface 75 of the sub-reflecting member 25. It is preferable that the end portion 81a on the light emitting portion side does not block the light L3.

FIG. 4 is a process diagram for explaining a fixing agent filling process.
As shown in FIG. 4, in the filling step of the fixing agent 81, first, as shown in FIG. 4A, the sub-reflection member 25 is loosely fitted to the second sealing portion 37 of the lamp 21. At that time, as shown in FIG. 4B, the edge 47 a located in the second sealing portion 37 of the second electrode 47 exists between the base end of the cylindrical portion 79 and the extending end. And Next, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), the filling machine 73 is used so as to reach the entire gap between the second sealing portion 37 and the tubular portion 79 from the edge of the secondary reflecting member 25 on the tubular portion side. The fixing agent 81 is filled.

At the time of filling, the fixing agent 81 does not sufficiently reach the entire gap between the second sealing portion 37 and the cylindrical portion 79, and filling unevenness may occur.
FIG. 5 is a view for explaining uneven filling of the fixing agent. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), when the fixing agent 81 is filled from the cylindrical part side edge of the sub-reflecting member 25, the fixing agent 81 does not reach the entire gap as shown in FIG. For example, the air gap 82 may be generated on the sub-reflection member main body side of the cylindrical portion 79.

  Such a void 82 is not preferable in order to obtain the effect of heating the vicinity of the coldest point by filling the fixing agent 81, and the second electrode in the gap between the cylindrical portion 79 and the second sealing portion 37. It is preferable that the portion closest to the edge 47 a located in the second sealing portion 37 of 47 is filled with the fixing agent 81 over the entire circumferential direction of the outer surface of the second sealing portion 37. However, even when the air gap 82 is generated in a part of the circumferential direction, the effect of heating the vicinity of the coldest point can be expected in the portion where the fixing agent 81 is filled. Includes a case where a gap 82 is formed in a part of the circumferential direction. That is, of the portion of the second sealing portion 37 closest to the edge 47 a located in the second sealing portion 37 of the second electrode 47 in the gap between the cylindrical portion 79 and the second sealing portion 37. It suffices if at least part of the circumferential direction is filled with the fixing agent 81.

The fixing agent 81 does not necessarily need to be filled over the entire gap between the second sealing portion 37 and the cylindrical portion 79, and at least the gap between the second sealing portion 37 and the cylindrical portion 79. If the portion closest to the edge 47a is filled, the temperature of the coldest spot can be raised.
Below, the modification about the site | part filled with the fixing agent 81 is demonstrated. Note that the modification basically has the same configuration as that of the present embodiment except that the filling part of the fixing agent is different. Therefore, the same components as those in the present embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted, and only the portion filled with the fixing agent will be described.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a high-pressure discharge lamp and a sub-reflection member according to the first modification.
As shown in FIG. 6, in the first modification, the fixing agent 83 includes the second electrode 47 and the second metal foil 51 in the gap between the lamp 21 second sealing portion 37 and the cylindrical portion 79 of the sub-reflection member 25. The portion surrounding the entire joint portion 47b is filled.
In the second electrode 47, the joint portion 47 b with the second metal foil 51 is a portion where heat is easily taken away by conduction by the second metal foil 51, so that the temperature tends to be relatively low. Therefore, it is preferable to warm the entire bonding portion 47b with the fixing agent 83, not the vicinity of the edge 47a of the second electrode 47 with the fixing agent 83. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the fixing agent 83 is filled only in a portion surrounding the entire joint portion 47 b of the second electrode 47 and the second metal foil 51 in the gap between the second sealing portion 37 and the cylindrical portion 79. By doing so, it is possible to efficiently improve the light emission efficiency of the lamp unit 20 while suppressing the amount of the sticking agent 83 used.

FIG. 7 is a process diagram for explaining the fixing agent filling process according to the first modification.
As shown in FIG. 7, in the filling step of the fixing agent 83, first, as shown in FIG. 7A, the second electrode 47 and the second metal foil 51 in the second sealing portion 37 of the lamp 21 are formed. The sticking agent 85 is attached to a portion surrounding the entire joint portion 47b by the filling machine 73. Next, as shown in FIG. 7B, the sub-reflection member 25 is loosely fitted to the second sealing portion 37. At that time, an edge 47 a located in the second sealing portion 37 of the second electrode 47 exists between the base end of the cylindrical portion 79 and the extending end. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7 (c), it adheres to a portion surrounding the entire joint portion 47 b of the second electrode 47 and the second metal foil 51 in the gap between the cylindrical portion 79 and the second sealing portion 37. The agent 85 is filled.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a high-pressure discharge lamp and a sub-reflection member according to the second modification.
As shown in FIG. 8, in the second modification, the fixing agent 85 is not only the gap between the cylindrical portion 79 of the sub-reflecting member 25 and the second sealing portion 37 of the lamp 21, but also the secondary sealing portion 37. The portion not covered with the reflecting member 25 is also filled. Thus, the temperature of the coldest spot of the glass bulb 39 can be further increased by covering the surface of the second sealing portion 37 with the fixing agent 85 over as wide a range as possible, and the luminous efficiency of the lamp unit 20 can be further increased. Can be improved.

In recent years, the type of lamp unit in which the emitted light converges at a certain point is becoming more popular than the type of emitting parallel light. The type in which the emitted light converges to one point is suitable for downsizing the projector because the optical path length in the projector can be shortened.
In the case of a type in which the emitted light converges to one point, if the range in which the fixing agent is filled is too wide, the fixing agent blocks the light reflected by the reflecting surface of the main reflecting member, and the light collection efficiency of the lamp unit decreases. A malfunction occurs. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, when the fixing agent 85 is filled in a portion not covered with the cylindrical portion 79 in the configuration of the modification example 2, the fixing agent 85 is reflected by the reflecting surface 65 of the main reflecting member 23. It is preferable to fill a portion that does not block the light L4.

  Furthermore, even when the cylindrical portion 79 of the sub-reflecting member 25 extends too far to the illuminated side, the light L4 reflected by the reflecting surface 65 of the main reflecting member 23 may be blocked. For example, depending on the position where the sub-reflecting member 25 is attached, the edge 79a on the illuminated side of the cylindrical portion 79 blocks the light L4, and the light collection efficiency of the lamp unit 20 is reduced. Therefore, the sub-reflection member 25 is preferably attached at a position where the cylindrical portion 79 does not block the light L4.

<Operation>
The lighting state of the lamp unit 20 having the above configuration will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the lamp 21 is lit with the approximate center between the first and second electrodes 45 and 47 inside the light emitting unit 33 as the light emission center. The light L1 emitted from the light emission center toward the reflecting surface 65 of the main reflecting member 23 travels as it is and is radiated to the outside of the lamp 21, reflected forward by the reflecting surface 65, and forward from the lamp unit 20. Emitted.

On the other hand, the light L2 emitted from the light emission center toward the reflecting surface side of the main reflecting member 23, that is, toward the reflecting surface 75 of the sub-reflecting member 25, travels as it is and is emitted to the outside of the lamp 21. 33, reflected toward the reflecting surface side of the main reflecting member 23, then reflected forward by the reflecting surface 65 of the main reflecting member 23, and emitted forward from the lamp unit 20.
Thus, the light emitted from the lamp unit 20 toward the illuminated side is emitted from the lamp 21 toward the reflecting surface 65 of the main reflecting member 23 and toward the reflecting surface 75 of the sub-reflecting member 25 from the lamp 21. Therefore, the lamp unit 20 has a higher light collection efficiency than a lamp unit that does not have the sub-reflecting member 25.

<Modification>
While the lamp unit according to the present embodiment has been described above, it is needless to say that the lamp unit according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
The sub-reflection member is not limited to quartz glass, and may be made of hard glass, ceramic, metal, or the like.

  The sub-reflective member is not limited to a member that transmits infrared light, and may absorb infrared light. For example, you may be comprised with the material whose transmittance | permeability of an infrared ray is 90% or less. Quartz glass with an infrared ray transmittance of 95% or more was used for the conventional sub-reflective member, but if a material with an infrared ray transmittance of 90% or less is used, the amount of absorption of infrared rays Can be increased. Since the sub-reflecting member that has absorbed the infrared rays emits radiant heat and the lamp is heated, the temperature in the discharge space increases, the vapor pressure increases, and the luminous efficiency of the lamp improves.

  Since the infrared rays emitted from the lamp have a wavelength shorter than 900 nm, the sub-reflecting member may be made of a material that absorbs infrared rays of 650 to 900 nm. However, even if it is made of a material that absorbs infrared light exceeding 900 nm and 1500 nm or less, the luminous efficiency of the lamp can be improved to some extent using radiant heat.

The sub-reflection member may be black to improve the absorption rate of infrared rays. For example, the product may be made of black quartz glass produced by filling a slurry-like quartz glass mixed with carbon into a mold, forming, firing and polishing. Further, even a color other than black may be made of a material that absorbs infrared rays to the same extent as black.
Further, the sub-reflecting member may be composed of a reflecting surface that reflects only visible light and an absorbing surface that is formed in a lower layer of the reflecting surface and absorbs infrared light to generate radiant heat.
