As shown in FIG. 4, the discharge tube 60 is hermetically sealed with a pair of lid members 64, 64 that also serve as discharge electrodes, at both ends of a cylindrical case member 62 made of an insulating material that opens at both ends. Thus, an airtight envelope 66 is formed, and a predetermined discharge gas is sealed in the airtight envelope 66.

上記蓋部材64は、気密外囲器66の中心に向けて大きく突き出た平面状の放電電極部68と、ケース部材62の端面に接する接合部70を備えており、両蓋部材64,64の放電電極部68,68間には、所定の放電間隙72が形成されている。
また、上記ケース部材62の内壁面74の円周方向に、微小放電間隙76を隔てて対向配置された一対のトリガ放電膜78,78が、複数組形成されている。一対のトリガ放電膜78,78の内、一方のトリガ放電膜78は、一方の放電電極部68と電気的に接続され、他方のトリガ放電膜78は、他方の放電電極部68と電気的に接続されている。
The lid member 64 includes a flat discharge electrode portion 68 that protrudes greatly toward the center of the hermetic envelope 66, and a joint portion 70 that contacts the end surface of the case member 62. A predetermined discharge gap 72 is formed between the discharge electrode portions 68 and 68.
A plurality of pairs of trigger discharge films 78 and 78 are formed in the circumferential direction of the inner wall surface 74 of the case member 62 so as to face each other with a minute discharge gap 76 therebetween. Of the pair of trigger discharge films 78, 78, one trigger discharge film 78 is electrically connected to one discharge electrode portion 68, and the other trigger discharge film 78 is electrically connected to the other discharge electrode portion 68. It is connected.

上記放電電極部68の表面には、放電開始電圧の安定に効果的なアルカリヨウ化物が含有された絶縁性の被膜80が形成されている。このアルカリヨウ化物としては、ヨウ化カリウム(KI)、ヨウ化ナトリウム(NaI)、ヨウ化セシウム(CsI)、ヨウ化ルビジウム(RbI)等のアルカリヨウ化物の単体又は混合物が該当する。
上記気密外囲器66内に封入する放電ガスとしては、例えば、アルゴン、ネオン、ヘリウム、キセノン等の希ガスあるいは窒素ガス等の不活性ガスの単体又は混合ガスが該当する。また、希ガスあるいは不活性ガスの単体又は混合ガスと、H等の負極性ガスとの混合ガスが該当する。

上記構成を備えた放電管60の放電電極部68,68間に、当該放電管60の放電開始電圧以上の電圧が印加されると、トリガ放電膜78,78間の微小放電間隙76に電界が集中し、これにより微小放電間隙76に電子が放出されてトリガ放電としての沿面コロナ放電が発生する。次いで、この沿面コロナ放電は、電子のプライミング効果によってグロー放電へと移行する。そして、このグロー放電が放電電極部68,68間の放電間隙72へと転移し、主放電としてのアーク放電に移行するのである。
特開2003−7420号
When a voltage equal to or higher than the discharge start voltage of the discharge tube 60 is applied between the discharge electrode portions 68, 68 of the discharge tube 60 having the above-described configuration, an electric field is generated in the minute discharge gap 76 between the trigger discharge films 78, 78. As a result, electrons are emitted into the minute discharge gap 76, and creeping corona discharge as a trigger discharge is generated. Next, the creeping corona discharge shifts to glow discharge due to an electron priming effect. Then, the glow discharge is transferred to the discharge gap 72 between the discharge electrode portions 68 and 68, and is transferred to arc discharge as the main discharge.
JP 2003-7420 A

ところで上記放電管60を、例えば寿命試験等において繰り返し動作させると、放電時の衝撃の受けて、放電開始電圧の安定に効果的なアルカリヨウ化物の含有された上記被膜80及び放電電極部68がスパッタされる結果、初期放電開始電圧が上昇して、初期放電遅れを生じていた。   By the way, when the discharge tube 60 is repeatedly operated, for example, in a life test or the like, the coating 80 and the discharge electrode portion 68 containing the alkali iodide effective for stabilizing the discharge start voltage under the impact during discharge are obtained. As a result of the sputtering, the initial discharge start voltage increased and an initial discharge delay occurred.

上記チタン蒸着膜の膜厚は、1〜2μmと成すのが好ましい。
As a result of various investigations on the coating film formed on the surface of the discharge electrode, the present inventors have found that the surface of the discharge electrode has a titanium (Ti) vapor deposition film having a high sputtering resistance and a bromide having an effect of suppressing the discharge start delay. It has been found that when a film containing cesium (CsBr) is formed, an increase in the initial discharge start voltage can be effectively prevented, and the present invention has been completed.

A titanium (Ti) vapor deposition film 30 is formed on the surface of the discharge electrode portion 18, and a film 32 containing cesium bromide (CsBr) is formed on the surface of the titanium vapor deposition film 30. The titanium vapor-deposited film 30 has high sputter resistance. Further, the cesium bromide contained in the coating film 32 has an excellent effect of suppressing the discharge start delay because of its excellent electron emission characteristics.
The thickness of the titanium vapor deposition film 30 is preferably 1 to 2 μm in order to effectively prevent an increase in the initial discharge start voltage.
The coating 32 containing cesium bromide can be formed by applying a cesium bromide powder added to a binder made of a sodium silicate solution and pure water to the surface of the titanium vapor deposition film 30.

Also, a single or mixed gas of a rare gas or an inert gas, a mixed gas of negative polarity gas such as H 2 corresponds.

本発明の上記放電管10にあっては、放電電極を兼ねた上記一対の蓋部材14,14間に、当該放電管10の放電開始電圧以上の電圧が印加されると、トリガ放電膜28の両端と蓋部材14,14間の微小放電間隙26に電界が集中し、これにより微小放電間隙26に電子が放出されてトリガ放電としての沿面コロナ放電が発生する。次いで、この沿面コロナ放電は、電子のプライミング効果によってグロー放電へと移行する。そして、このグロー放電が放電電極部18,18間の放電間隙22へと転移し、主放電としてのアーク放電に移行するのである。   In the discharge tube 10 of the present invention, when a voltage equal to or higher than the discharge start voltage of the discharge tube 10 is applied between the pair of lid members 14 and 14 also serving as discharge electrodes, the trigger discharge film 28 The electric field concentrates in the minute discharge gap 26 between the both ends and the lid members 14 and 14, whereby electrons are emitted into the minute discharge gap 26 to generate creeping corona discharge as a trigger discharge. Next, this creeping corona discharge shifts to glow discharge due to an electron priming effect. Then, the glow discharge is transferred to the discharge gap 22 between the discharge electrode portions 18 and 18, and the arc discharge as the main discharge is transferred.

而して、本発明の放電管10にあっては、放電電極部18の表面に、耐スパッタ性が高いチタン蒸着膜30を形成すると共に、該チタン蒸着膜30の表面に、電子放出特性に優れ、放電開始遅れ抑制効果を有する臭化セシウムが含有された被膜32を形成したことにより、初期放電開始電圧の上昇を防止でき、初期放電遅れを生じることのない長寿命な放電管10を実現することができる。
尚、初期放電開始電圧は、放電管を繰り返し動作させた場合における初回の放電開始電圧のことをいい、この初期放電開始電圧に続く2回目以降の放電開始電圧を追随放電開始電圧という。

By forming the coating 32 containing cesium bromide, which has an excellent effect of suppressing the discharge start delay, it is possible to prevent a rise in the initial discharge start voltage and realize a long-life discharge tube 10 that does not cause an initial discharge delay. can do.
The initial discharge start voltage refers to the first discharge start voltage when the discharge tube is repeatedly operated, and the second and subsequent discharge start voltages subsequent to the initial discharge start voltage are referred to as follow-up discharge start voltages.

図3は、上記チタン蒸着膜30(膜厚は1μm)及び臭化セシウムが含有された被膜32を形成して成る本発明の放電管10と、比較例としてヨウ化カリウム(KI)の含有された被膜80を放電電極部68の表面に形成した従来の放電管60、さらに比較例として臭化セシウムを含有する被膜を放電電極部の表面に形成した放電管における、放電回数と初期放電開始電圧との関係を示すグラフである。これら放電管は、何れも放電開始電圧が800Vに設定されているものを用いており、この場合、初期放電開始電圧が1000Vを越えると使用に適さないものとなる。
図3のグラフに示される通り、従来の放電管60の場合(図3のグラフB)には、放電回数が約10万回程度で初期放電開始電圧が1000Vを越えて使用に適さなくなっている。また、臭化セシウムを含有する被膜を放電電極部の表面に形成した放電管の場合(図3のグラフC)は、従来の放電管60よりは初期放電開始電圧の上昇は抑制できるものの、初期放電開始電圧は徐々に上昇し、放電回数が約45万回程度で初期放電開始電圧が1000Vを越えて使用に適さなくなっている。
これに対し、本発明の放電管10の場合(図3のグラフA)には、放電回数が50万回となっても初期放電開始電圧が殆ど一定であり、従って放電遅れを生じることがなく長寿命化が実現されている。

Further, in the case of a discharge tube in which a coating containing cesium bromide is formed on the surface of the discharge electrode portion (graph C in FIG. 3), the initial discharge start voltage can be suppressed more than the conventional discharge tube 60, but the initial The discharge start voltage gradually increases, the number of discharges is about 450,000 times, and the initial discharge start voltage exceeds 1000 V, making it unsuitable for use.
On the other hand, in the case of the discharge tube 10 of the present invention (graph A in FIG. 3), the initial discharge start voltage is almost constant even when the number of discharges reaches 500,000, so that no discharge delay occurs. Long life has been achieved.
