Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the deterioration of light efficiency and the breakage when sealing the outer tube of a glow starter by arranging a ceramic resistor in parallel with the center axis of the outer tube and arranging the glow starter so as to face the plane section of the ceramic resistor. CONSTITUTION:A starting device 5 is formed with a rectangular plate-shaped ceramic resistor 8, a normally closed bimetallic switch 9, and a glow starter 10 in series end connected in parallel with a luminescent tube 4. The resistor 8 is arranged in parallel with the center axis of an outer tube 1, and the glow starter 10 is arranged at the position facing the plane section of the resistor 8 so that its center axis is in parallel with the center axis of the outer tube 1. When a power supply 11 is turned on, the glow starter 10 is operated and the intermittent pulse voltage is induced on a ballast 12 and superimposed on the power supply voltage, which is applied across both electrodes 6A, 6B of the luminescent tube 4, and a lamp is started and lighted. The temperature in the outer tube 1 rises, the switch 9 is opened by this heat, and a starting circuit is separated from a luminescent circuit.

As a means for generating this pulse voltage, for example, one is known in which a starter device consisting of a lighting tube and a resistor for limiting the glow current of the lighting tube is built into the outer bulb together with the arc tube. The above-mentioned resistor was originally formed of a filament, but since its length was quite long, it had to be made into a coil and stretched in a zigzag pattern, making it vulnerable to vibration and mechanical shock and reducing the reliability of the lamp. It was also the cause of the decline. To deal with this situation, we have developed a tungsten wire inside ceramic, which has excellent vibration resistance, can be compactly molded into the desired shape, and is suitable for installation in narrow spaces such as inside discharge lamps. JP-A-56-73856 discloses a means to replace such a ceramic resistor with a resistor embedded therein. Figure 3 shows a discharge lamp with a built-in starting device described in this publication. In Figure 1, (1) is the outer tube, (4) is the arc tube,
(8A) is a disc-shaped ceramic resistor, 00) is a lighting tube, and (9) is a normally closed bimetal switch for separating the starting circuit from the main lighting circuit after the discharge lamp is lit.
This bimetal switch (9) has a ceramic resistor (8
connected in series with people) to form a unit.

However, it has been found that even such a discharge lamp has the following drawbacks. That is, in recent years, the use of high-efficiency metal vapor discharge lamps in place of low-efficiency incandescent lamps has attracted attention, but this requires miniaturization of metal vapor discharge lamps.

ネック部も必然的に小さくせざるを得なくなる。
In order to miniaturize a discharge lamp, it is essential to make the outer bulb smaller, and when the outer bulb is made smaller, the neck of the outer bulb, which generally accommodates the starter device, must also be made smaller.

On the other hand, ceramic resistors themselves generate heat, so if you try to make them too small, you may end up destroying them, so there is a limit to how small they can be.

For this reason, as in the case of the conventional discharge lamp shown in FIG. If you try to install it inside or on the upper end side, there will be restrictions on its size, or it will cover the upper end side of the outer tube neck section (2). For example, when the light is turned off, the outer tube neck section (2 ) due to poor thermal convection within the ceramic resistor (8).

The cooling rate of the bimetal switch (9), which is open during lighting, is also slow, resulting in a long recovery (closing) time, resulting in a long restart time. This drawback becomes particularly noticeable when the lamp is lit with the cap (3) side facing up. In addition, the light emitted from the 9 arc tube (4) toward the base (3) is blocked by the ceramic resistor (8A) that covers the upper end of the outer tube neck (2), leading to a decrease in efficiency. ,moreover.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In a conventional discharge lamp having a built-in starting device consisting of a bimetal switch, a ceramic resistor, and a lighting tube as described in 5 above, especially when the discharge lamp is miniaturized, Ceramic resistors not only have drawbacks such as being limited in size and not being able to cool down easily when the light is turned off, making it take longer for the bimetal switch installed on the resistor to return to normal and restarting the device. 2 The light emitted from the arc tube to the base is blocked, leading to a decrease in efficiency.

Another disadvantage is that the lighting tube, which is installed horizontally near the outer tube sealing section, is easily damaged by the heat generated during the outer tube sealing process.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The metal vapor discharge lamp of the present invention includes an arc tube inside the outer bulb, a normally closed bimetal switch connected in parallel with the arc tube,
A starting device is housed in which a ceramic resistor and a lighting tube are connected in series, and the ceramic resistor is formed into a plate shape and installed parallel to the central axis of the outer tube, and 9 lights are installed. It is constructed by placing a tube facing the flat part of a plate-shaped ceramic resistor.

(Function) With this configuration, the plate-shaped ceramic resistor is installed parallel to the central axis of the outer tube, so it is restricted by the size and cross-sectional area of the neck of the outer tube, making it unreasonably compact. Since this is no longer necessary, damage due to heat generation can be prevented, and since there is no need to cover the neck with a lid, thermal convection between the neck and the outer tube body, including the outer tube inner metal body, is improved. When the light is turned off, the ceramic resistor cools down more easily, so the bimetal switch provided on the ceramic resistor returns faster, and the restart time can be shortened.

さらにネック部方向(口金方向)への発光管からの放射
光を遮断することもないので効率を向上させることもで

Furthermore, since the light emitted from the arc tube in the direction of the neck (direction of the base) is not blocked, efficiency can be improved.

Furthermore, since the one lighting tube is also installed at a position facing the flat part of the ceramic resistor, it can be prevented from being damaged by heat during the outer tube sealing process.
