【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、管球に使用する傾斜機能材料および管球に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、高圧放電ランプやハロゲンランプの封止部の構造としては、封着用の金属箔を用いた箔シール方式のものが知られている。最近においては、電極部材を具えた傾斜機能材料よりなる閉塞体を用い、この閉塞体にバルブの封止用管部を封着させることにより封止部を形成する手段が提案されている。
【0003】
例えば、特開平11−86794号公報には、管球の閉塞体として傾斜機能材料をモリブデンとシリカの組み合わせを用いたものの場合、シリカ粉末とモリブデン粉末とを、モリブデン粉末の含有割合が異なるようそれぞれ混合し、モリブデン粉末の含有割合が異なる複数の混合粉末を調製する。この混合粉末を用い、円柱状の成形空間を有する金型の底部材の上面上に、モリブデン濃度の最も低い混合粉末を層状に充填して1層を形成し、ついで2番目に低いモリブデン濃度の混合粉末を層状に充填して2層目を形成し、そのように順にモリブデン濃度を変えた混合粉末を層状に必要な層数充填し、その後に加圧体で加圧して成形することにより、複数の成形層が一体に積層された積層体を形成した後、電極を挿入して本焼結を行なう傾斜機能体を用いた管球用電気導入体(従来例1)が記載されている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、従来例1の傾斜機能体であると、それぞれの混合比を持った粉末を層にして加圧して焼結する際にそれぞれの混合比を持った層の熱膨張率に差があるために焼結加熱の際、それぞれの層の接合部分にクラックが生じることがあり、傾斜機能体の製造が困難であった。また、このような傾斜機能体を用いたランプを点灯した場合、点灯時の熱によって放電容器と接合している傾斜機能体の層が複数層に亘る場合には、各層の熱膨張率が異なることによって放電容器に応力がかかる虞があり、特にクラックの発生およびランプが破損する虞があった。
【0005】
そこで、本発明は傾斜機能体の構成体間でのクラックを抑制し、またこの傾斜機能体を管球の封止材料として使用しても管球破損などを抑制することのできる傾斜機能材料およびそれを用いた管球を提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項1の発明の傾斜機能体は、導電性物質とSiO またはAl からなる非導電物質を所定比率で略均一となるように混合して成形し焼結した構成体を導電物質と非導電物質の混同比が段階的に異なるように順次積み重ねた後、焼結して各構成体を接合させて構成することを特徴とする。

【0010】
本発明によれば、それぞれ非導電性物質と導電性物質とが所定比率で略均一となるように混合された混同体を成形焼結した構成体をそれぞれ混同比が段階的に異なるように積み重ねて焼結し各構成体を接合させて傾斜機能体としているため傾斜機能体を製造する際に生じるクラックの発生を抑制することができるものである。
【0011】
請求項2の発明の管球は、SiOを主成分とする放電容器と;SiOと導電物質とが所定比率で略均一となるように混合された混合体を成形し焼結した構成体を、SiOと導電物質との混同比が段階的に異なるように順次積重して焼結してられる傾斜体のSiOの容積比の割合が97.5%以上である構成体部分で放電容器と溶着し封止される傾斜機能体と;一端が傾斜機能体の一端側から突出し、他端が傾斜機能体の導電性を有する構成体に固着される電極と;を具備している。
【0012】
管球とは、従来放電容器の封止を箔で行っていたような、水銀ランプ、メタルハライドランプ、セラミックメタルハライドランプのような高圧放電ランプ、ハロゲンランプを許容する。高圧放電ランプ電極は、対向する位置に少なくとも一対配設してなる。また、ハロゲンランプのような管球の場合、電極とはフィラメントおよびフィラメントを支持するアンカ部材を示すものも許容する。
【0013】
電容器と放電容器と溶着封止される構成体のSiOの混合比が97.5%未満であると放電容器とこの構成体の熱膨張係数が適合できずに、ランプ点灯中の熱によって放電容器にクラックが生じるか、または、放電容器と構成体間でリークが生じる等の不具合が生じてしまう。なお、この放電容器と溶着封止される構成体は、複数の構成体にわたってと溶着されることも許容する。
【0014】
また、傾斜機能体と電極が接合される構成体は導電性を有している。傾斜機能体と電極の接合は、構成体に電極を機械的に打ち込んで支持するまたは、電極の端部と構成体を導電性物質を溶融させて接合させるなどの方法を用いることができる。
【0015】

【0017】
まず第1の構成体n1について説明する。Si の粒径0.01〜10μmの粉末を内径が30mmの筒状の型に流し込み型の開口側に圧力を加えた状態で1700℃で20分間加熱して焼結させる。そうして、外径30mm、高さはおよそ4mmの焼結体が形成されこの焼結体の表面を研磨した。
【0018】

【0022】
<比較例1>各層のSiOとMoの混合比は実施例1と同一とした。まず、構成体n1と同じ混合比を持つ混合紛体を円柱状の金型内に充填し、次に混合比が異なる混合粉末を充填する。これを層が10層となるまで繰り返し、混合紛体を加圧しながら1700℃で20分間加熱した。
【0023】
このときのクラックの発生率は、本発明の実施例のものはクラックは発生は見られなかったが、比較例のものはクラックの発生が見られた。特に第1の層と第2の層の間が多く発生していることも確認された。

[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a structure of a sealing portion of a high-pressure discharge lamp or a halogen lamp, a foil sealing type using a sealing metal foil is known. Recently, there has been proposed means for forming a sealing portion by using a closing body made of a functionally graded material having an electrode member and sealing the sealing tube portion of the valve to the closing body.
[0003]
For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-86794, when a functionally gradient material using a combination of molybdenum and silica is used as an obturator for a tube, the silica powder and the molybdenum powder are different so that the content ratio of the molybdenum powder is different. A plurality of mixed powders having different molybdenum powder content ratios are prepared by mixing. Using this mixed powder, on the upper surface of the bottom member of the mold having a cylindrical molding space, the mixed powder having the lowest molybdenum concentration is layered to form one layer, and then the second lowest molybdenum concentration is formed. Filling the mixed powder in layers to form the second layer, filling the required number of layers of the mixed powder in which the molybdenum concentration is changed in that order, and then pressurizing with a pressure body to form, There is described a tube electrical introduction body (conventional example 1) using a functionally graded body in which an electrode is inserted and main sintering is performed after forming a laminated body in which a plurality of molded layers are integrally laminated.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the case of the functionally graded body of Conventional Example 1, there is a difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the layers having the respective mixing ratios when the powders having the respective mixing ratios are layered and pressed and sintered. In addition, during sintering and heating, cracks may occur in the joint portions of the respective layers, making it difficult to manufacture a functionally gradient body. Also, when the lights of such functional gradient material the lamp used, in the case where the layer of the functionally gradient material bonded to the discharge vessel by the lit of heat over a plurality of layers, each layer have different thermal expansion coefficients As a result, there is a possibility that stress is applied to the discharge vessel, and in particular, there is a possibility that cracks occur and the lamp is damaged.
[0005]
Therefore, the present invention suppresses cracks between constituent members of the functionally gradient body, and the functionally gradient material capable of suppressing breakage of the tube and the like even if the gradient functional body is used as a sealing material for the tube and An object is to provide a tube using the same.

[0008]
The A conductive material that make up the structure, allows all those having conductivity. In addition, the non-conductive substance allows all non-conductive substances. Also, when using this functional gradient material as a sealing material of tube is Hishirubedenbutsu is made of SiO 2 or Al 2 O 3 that have the same thermal expansion coefficient approximate to the discharge vessel. The conductive material is preferably a heat-resistant or chemical-resistant metal or metal oxide, and is preferably connected with a thermal expansion coefficient close to that of the electrode material, and W, Mo, or the like is preferably used.
[0009]
At this time, the structure is composed of a mixture of a conductive substance and a non-conductive substance. This mixture is 100% non-conductive substance-0% conductive substance and 0% non-conductive substance. % —Conduct as a mixture of 100% conductive material.
[0010]
According to the present invention, components obtained by molding and sintering a mixed body in which non-conductive substances and conductive substances are mixed so as to be substantially uniform at a predetermined ratio are stacked so that the respective mixing ratios are different in stages. Sintering and joining the components to form a functionally graded body can suppress the occurrence of cracks that occur when the functionally graded body is manufactured.
[0011]
The tube of the invention of claim 2 is a structure obtained by molding and sintering a discharge vessel containing SiO 2 as a main component; a mixture in which SiO 2 and a conductive material are substantially uniform at a predetermined ratio. a structure portion ratio of SiO 2 and the conductive material and the confusion ratio stepwise differently sequentially stacking and sintering to the tilting member SiO 2 volume ratio of the obtained at 97.5% or more A gradient functional body that is welded to and sealed with the discharge vessel; and an electrode that protrudes from one end side of the gradient functional body and has the other end fixed to the conductive structure of the gradient functional body.

At least a pair of electrodes of the high-pressure discharge lamp are arranged at opposing positions. Further, in the case of a tube such as a halogen lamp, the electrode may be one that indicates a filament and an anchor member that supports the filament.
[0013]
Unable thermal expansion coefficient between the mixing ratio of the discharge collector container and discharge vessel and SiO 2 welding sealed by structure is less than 97.5% the discharge vessel and the structure is adapted, by the heat of the lamp during lighting Cracks are generated in the discharge vessel , or problems such as leakage between the discharge vessel and the constituent members occur. It should be noted that the structure to be welded and sealed to the discharge vessel also allows welding over a plurality of structures.
[0014]
Moreover, the structure in which the functionally gradient body and the electrode are joined has conductivity. Bonding of functional gradient material and the electrode, it is possible to use a method such as to support by implanting electrodes in structure mechanically, or by a an end portion of the electrode structure to melt the conductive material bonding.
[0015]
By setting the SiO2 mixing ratio of the discharge vessel and the structure to be welded and sealed to 97.5% or more, it is possible to obtain a structure in which the thermal expansion coefficient of this structure approximates that of the discharge container. in addition, the thermal expansion coefficient of the structure to be joined to the structure can also be used combined easily construct, generation of cracks in the structure bodies by heat during lighting of tube, generation of cracks in the discharge vessel and sealing It is possible to reduce problems such as stopping defects.
[0016]
ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the tube using the functional gradient body which does not produce the crack of a structure can be provided.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the functionally graded body of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The functional gradient body 1 is configured by stacking the constituent members n1 to nn in the axial direction. In the present embodiment, the functionally graded body 1 is constructed by stacking 10 layers of the structure using SiO 2 as the non-conductive material and Mo as the conductive material. The functional gradient body 1 (Example 1) is manufactured as follows.
[0017]
First, the first structure n1 will be described. Was heated at 1700 ° C. 20 min powder particle size 0.01~10μm of Si O 2 in a state in which the inner diameter is applying pressure to casting mold opening side of the cylindrical mold of 30mm to sinter. Thus, a sintered body having an outer diameter of 30 mm and a height of about 4 mm was formed, and the surface of the sintered body was polished.
[0018]
Next, the second to tenth structures will be described. In the case of the structure n2, 98.5% of the powder of Si O 2 having a particle diameter of 0.01 to 10 μm and 1.5% of the powder of Mo having a particle diameter of 0.01 to 10 μm are mixed so as to be substantially uniform. . The mixture is poured into a cylindrical mold having an inner diameter of 30 mm, and heated and sintered at 1700 ° C. for 20 minutes in a state where pressure is applied to the opening side of the mold. Thus, a sintered body having an outer diameter of 30 mm and a height of about 1.5 mm is formed, and the surface thereof is polished. In the same manner, the constructs n2 to n10 are respectively created. Table 1 shows the mixing ratio of SiO 2 and Mo and the height of each component.
[0019]
[Table 1]
Figure 0003991109
[0020]
Next, these functional bodies n1 to n10 are sequentially stacked, sintered at 1750 ° C. for 40 minutes in an Ar atmosphere, and the respective structural bodies are joined to form the functionally graded body 1. This functional gradient body 1 is cut out so as to have an outer diameter of 3 mm in accordance with the size of the sealed portion of the tube, and a hole having a diameter of 0.5 mm is formed in the center of the cylinder up to the layer of the component n8. The electrode 2 is inserted into the hole and the end is driven into the structure.
[0021]
The state of occurrence of cracks in the functional gradient body 1 obtained in this manner and the functional gradient body obtained by the method 1 according to the related art <Comparative Example 1> was investigated.
[0022]
<Comparative Example 1> The mixing ratio of SiO 2 and Mo in each layer was the same as in Example 1. First, a mixed powder having the same mixing ratio as that of the component n1 is filled in a cylindrical mold, and then mixed powder having a different mixing ratio is filled. This was repeated until there were 10 layers, and the mixed powder was heated at 1700 ° C. for 20 minutes while applying pressure.
[0023]
As for the occurrence rate of cracks at this time, no cracks were observed in the examples of the present invention, but cracks were observed in the comparative examples. In particular, it was confirmed that a large amount was generated between the first layer and the second layer.
[0024]
FIG. 2 is a second embodiment of the metal halide lamp L using the above-described functionally gradient body. Note that the same parts as those in FIG.
[0025]
The discharge vessel 3 of the metal halide lamp L is made of quartz glass, FGM body 1 at both ends of the discharge portion 31 of the spheroidal shape to form a discharge space seal portions 32 and 33 to be sealed is formed integrally. A chip portion 34 is formed in the central portion of the discharge portion 31 to seal the discharge space portion 31 with the functional gradient body 1 and then evacuate the discharge space to enclose a predetermined inclusion.
[0026]
The discharge vessel 3 and the functionally graded body 1 are sealed with the portion of the structural body n1 of the functionally graded body 1. First, the functional gradient body 1 to which the electrode 2 is attached is inserted into the sealing portions 32 and 33 of the discharge vessel. Thereafter, the portion of the sealing portion facing the portion of the first structural body n1 of the functional gradient body 1 is fused and bonded to the functional gradient body by melting the quartz glass of the sealing portion with an oxygen-hydrogen burner or an argon plasma burner. It is configured to keep airtight in the discharge space.
[0027]
Its After argon gas in the discharge space, mercury was sealed iodide of Sc-Na from the exhaust tip portion sealed to the exhaust pipe.
[0028]
Power supply to the electrode, if the present embodiment, supplying the metal band 4 from the metal band 4 by winding the power between the electrodes to an end of the functionally gradient material 1. In this example, the lamp power was 100 W and the lamp voltage was 83V. The inner diameter of the discharge vessel is 6 mm, and the distance between the electrodes is 1.4 mm.
[0029]
Here, a blinking test was performed using the metal halide lamp using Comparative Example 1 described above, the following Comparative Example, and the metal halide lamp of Example 2. In each comparative example, the size of the discharge vessel, the input power of the lamp, and the like are set to be the same as those in the second embodiment.
Comparative Example 2 A metal halide lamp was prepared using the functionally graded body of Comparative Example 1. The sealing part of the discharge vessel is the first layer.
<Comparative example 3> Although the functional gradient body uses the thing of Example 1, the whole gradient functional body is sealed with the sealing part with a discharge vessel.
<Comparative example 4> Sealing was performed using Mo foil as in the past.
[0030]
These lamps were repeatedly turned on for 2.75 hours and turned off for 0.25 hours to perform a blinking test. The results of observing each lamp when the number of flashes reached 1500 were as follows.
<Example 2> Neither generation of cracks nor discoloration of the sealing portion was observed.
<Comparative example 2> Generation | occurrence | production of the crack was seen between each layer of a functional gradient body. In particular, the occurrence of cracks between the first layer and the second layer is noticeable.
<Comparative example 3> A crack is seen in the sealing part of the discharge vessel joined to the structure in which Mo of the functionally gradient body is 95% or more. This is thought to be due to the fact that the thermal expansion coefficient of the constituent body of the functional gradient body is different from that of quartz glass which is a discharge vessel.
<Comparative example 4> Discoloration of Mo foil was seen and it was partially corroded. This is probably because the metal halide encapsulated in the metal halide lamp was eroded.
[0031]
From the above, the lamp of Example 2 can suppress the occurrence of cracks, and can provide a lamp with good chemical resistance and sealing.
【The invention's effect】
According to the first aspect of the present invention, a structure obtained by molding and sintering a mixed body in which non-conductive substances and conductive substances are mixed so as to be substantially uniform at a predetermined ratio is stacked and sintered. Since these are joined to form a functionally gradient body, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of cracks that occur when the functionally gradient body is manufactured.
[0032]
