In general, high-pressure sodium lamps use ceramic (polycrystalline alumina), which is the material for the arc tube.
Calcium oxide (CaO), which is a component of the electron radioactive material deposited on the electrodes, reacts with each other, and the calcium oxide enters the arc tube wall along the grain boundaries of polycrystalline alumina. There was a problem with cracks occurring.

The object of the present invention is to provide a high-pressure sodium lamp that eliminates the above problem by configuring the arc tube so that the inner diameter of the peripheral portion of the electrode is larger than the inner diameter of the central portion. One example of this will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The figure is a cross-sectional view of the arc tube of a high-pressure sodium lamp that is an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 indicates an arc tube made of translucent ceramic such as alumina ceramic or itria ceramic. Electrodes 4 and 5 attached to the tips of 2 and 3 are provided. An electron radioactive substance containing calcium oxide is attached to the electrodes 4 and 5. The inner diameter of the portion surrounding the electrodes 4 and 5 of the arc tube 1 is larger than the inner diameter of the central portion. The conductors 2 and 3 are hermetically sealed to the arc tube 1 with cements 6 and 7.
The arc tube 1 is filled with sodium, a metal for buffer gas, and a rare gas for starting.

In such a high-pressure sodium lamp, the inner diameter of the peripheral portion of the electrodes 4, 5 of the arc tube 1 is larger than the inner diameter of the central portion, so that the electrodes 4,
The amount of calcium oxide adhering to the wall surface of the arc tube 1 around the arc tube 5 is significantly suppressed. Moreover, the temperature of the wall surface of the arc tube is lower than that of the conventional one. As a result, it is possible to prevent the arc tube from cracking even after being lit for a long time.

Incidentally, lamps in which the inner diameter of the peripheral part of the electrode is larger than the inner diameter of the central part have already been proposed for fluorescent lamps, xenon lamps, etc., but this prevents blackening of the tube wall due to scattering of electrode material. This is a device that is completely different in purpose and function from the high-pressure sodium lamp that is the object of the present invention.
