INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION FIELD The present invention relates to a high-pressure sodium discharge device that combines a high-pressure sodium discharge lamp with a floodlight. Conventional structure and its problems High-pressure sodium discharge lamps are approximately 2 times larger than mercury lamps.
It has double the efficiency and is attracting attention as a light suitable for the energy-saving era, and is increasingly being used. However, conventionally, when such a high-pressure sodium discharge lamp was lit in combination with a floodlight, especially an existing mercury lamp floodlight, the lamp voltage increased compared to when the lamp was lit without a lamp, and the lamp sometimes went out. Something happened. Purpose of the Invention The present invention was made to eliminate such problems, and is a high-pressure sodium discharge lamp equipped with a high-pressure sodium discharge lamp that has a small increase in lamp voltage and does not turn off even when lit in combination with a floodlight. A discharge device is provided. Structure of the Invention The present invention combines a high-pressure sodium discharge lamp with thermal protection films on both sides of the arc tube and in which the thermal protection film on the base side is longer than the heat protection film on the opposite side of the base with a floodlight to increase the lamp voltage. It is designed to suppress the DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a high-pressure sodium discharge device as an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 shows an example of a high-pressure sodium discharge lamp used in the device of the present invention, and FIG. 3 shows a high-pressure sodium discharge lamp used in the device of the present invention. An example of an arc tube with a thermal protection film of a sodium discharge lamp is shown, and the fourth
The figure shows the lighting circuit for a high-pressure sodium discharge lamp. As shown in FIG. 1, the high-pressure sodium discharge device according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a high-pressure sodium discharge lamp 1 and a floodlight 2. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the high-pressure sodium discharge lamp 1 consists of an arc tube 3 that has electrodes at both ends and is filled with sodium, a buffer gas metal, and a starting rare gas, and a getter 4 that creates a vacuum. An outer tube 8 into which the arc tube 3 provided with the heat protection films 5 and 6 is installed and a cap 7 attached, and a stem for supplying power to the arc tube 3 and supporting it. A series body (starter unit) 13 comprising wires 9 and 10, and a thermally responsive switch 12 consisting of a heater 11 and a normally closed bimetal switch that is opened by the heat of the heater 11 in parallel with the arc tube 3. is connected, and a starting auxiliary conductor 14 is attached to the outer surface of the arc tube 3, and this starting auxiliary conductor 14 is electrically floated when a thermally responsive switch 15 such as a bimetal switch is opened during lighting. It is designed to be kept in good condition. As shown in FIG. 3, such a high-pressure sodium discharge lamp is equipped with heat protection films 5 and 6 on both sides of the arc tube 3, and the length A of the heat protection film 5 on the base side is equal to the heat on the opposite side of the base. It is longer than the length B of the protective film 6 (A>B). The lighting circuit itself for such a high-pressure sodium discharge lamp is the same as the conventional one, as shown in FIG. Now, as shown in FIG. 4, when a power supply voltage is applied to the high-pressure sodium discharge lamp 1 through the single choke-type ballast 16, a voltage is generated between the two electrodes of the arc tube 3 due to a well-known operation. Discharge starts and the high pressure sodium discharge lamp 1 lights up. According to the high-pressure sodium discharge device of the embodiment of the present invention, the high-pressure sodium discharge lamp 1 includes the heat protection films 5 and 6 at both ends of the arc tube 3, and the length of the heat protection film 5 on the base side is set on the side opposite to the base. Because the length is longer than the length of the thermal protection film 6, unlike the conventional case, the coldest spot is formed on the side opposite to the cap of the arc tube, and the excess sodium amalgam is present at the end of the arc tube opposite to the cap. Therefore, when this discharge lamp is lit in a floodlight, there is no excess sodium amalgam at the base end of the arc tube where there are many reflections from the inside of the floodlight, so evaporation of excess sodium amalgam is extremely small, and the lamp voltage is reduced. It has been experimentally confirmed that the rise can be reduced and no fading occurs. Next, an experimental example in which the effects of the present invention were confirmed will be described. Experimental example 1 Arc tube structural dimensions: inner diameter 8.5 mm, total length 77.0 mm Material: polycrystalline alumina Distance between electrodes: 48.0 mm Electrode length: 14.5 mm (same on cap side and opposite cap side) Filled materials: Sodium 35.0 mg Mercury 17.0 mg Xenon gas 250Torr Two of the above arc tubes were made, and the length of the thermal protection film on the cap side was 2 mm and 3 mm longer than the length of the heat protection film on the opposite cap side in the same arc tube. An electric lamp (hereinafter referred to as the discharge lamp of the present invention) (structure shown in Fig. 2), and a conventional device in which the length of the thermal protection film on the base side and the length of the thermal protection film on the opposite side of the base are equal to each other in the same arc tube. A high-pressure sodium discharge lamp (hereinafter referred to as a conventional discharge lamp) was manufactured, and the lamp voltage was measured when the lamp was lit at a constant power supply voltage of 200V (60Hz) using a 300W mercury lamp ballast in the naked state and in a floodlight. , 1st
The results are as shown in the table.

[Table] In the experiments shown in Tables 1 and 2, the length of the heat protection film 6 on the side opposite to the base of the discharge lamp of the present invention was made the same as the length of the heat protection film of the conventional discharge lamp. This is because the discharge lamp of the present invention satisfies the same rated value as the conventional discharge lamp by making the coldest point temperature of the arc tube the same as that of the conventional discharge lamp. As is clear from the above results, the increase in lamp voltage of the high-pressure sodium discharge lamp in the device of the present invention is smaller than that in the high-pressure sodium discharge lamp in the conventional device, and according to these examples, the rise in lamp voltage is about 1/3. has declined to In addition, in the device of the present invention, the high pressure sodium discharge lamp did not go out. Effects of the Invention As explained above, even when the present invention is lit in combination with a floodlight, the rise in lamp voltage is small.
It is possible to provide a high-pressure sodium discharge device equipped with a high-pressure sodium discharge lamp that does not go out.
