PURPOSE:To prevent a sodium leak for a long period by coating a titanium metal on an external lead wire in advance, melting a titanium brazing filler metal by heating, and sealing the external lead wire to a conducting tube. CONSTITUTION:An external lead wire coated with titanium on the surface in advance is connected to one end of an electrode rod 3 holding an electrode coil 2 made of tungsten. The external lead wire is inserted into a hole formed at the closed section 6a of a conducting tube 6, a titanium brazing filler metal 5 is melted, and the external lead wire 4 is airtightly sealed in the hole of the conducting tube 6. The conducting tube 6 is airtightly sealed with frit 7 at both end sections of a light emitting tube 1 with the opening section facing the inside.

Conventional technology Conventionally, the arc tube of this type of high-pressure sodium lamp consists of a conductive tube made of niobium with an electrode at the end of a translucent polycrystalline alumina arc tube, which is hermetically sealed with a frit. . However, there is a problem in that the sodium sealed in the arc tube reacts with the frit during lighting and no longer contributes to the light emission.This problem is especially true when the sodium vapor pressure during lighting is
This is remarkable in color-rendering standard high-pressure sodium lamps that reach up to 00 to 500 Torr.

In order to solve this problem, the applicant first sealed a conductive tube made of niobium, which held an electrode through an electrode rod at the tip, with a frit to both ends of a ceramic arc tube, and then By joining the electrode rod and the external lead wire made of niobium with a brazing material, and creating an arc tube structure in which the external lead wire is hermetically sealed to the conductive tube, sodium during lighting is prevented from coming into direct contact with the frit. They proposed a high-pressure sodium lamp that maintains the contribution of sodium during movement to luminescence.

Means for Solving the Problems The method for manufacturing a high-pressure sodium lamp of the present invention involves sealing a conductive tube to the end of the arc tube with the opening inside, electrically connected to the electrode, and coating the surface with titanium in advance. An external lead wire coated with metal is passed through a hole formed in the closed portion of the conductive tube, and the external lead wire is sealed in the hole by melting a titanium brazing material.

The working external lead wire is coated with titanium metal in advance (by this, the minute irregularities existing on the surface of the external lead wire are filled with this titanium metal and the surface is smoothed, and the titanium brazing material is melted by heating. When the external lead wire is sealed to the conductive tube, since the titanium metal on the surface of the external lead wire and the brazing material are the same material, the brazing material easily blends into the surface of the external lead wire.
