本発明は、片口金形コンパクト蛍光ランプに関するもの
である。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a single-capped compact fluorescent lamp.

１２を設けている。2. Description of the Related Art Recently, various compact fluorescent lamps have been put into practical use as energy-saving light sources in place of incandescent light bulbs. FIG. 3 shows a typical single-capped fluorescent lamp. The arc tube 1 has four straight glass tubes 2 to 5 connected in series to form one discharge path through three bridge parts 6 to 8, and electrodes 9 and 10 are connected to each of the bridge parts 6 to 8. It is set up. Also,
A phosphor film 11 is formed on the inner surface of the arc tube 1, and a rare gas such as mercury and argon is heated at 3 to 4 Torr.
It is enclosed. Further, a cap 12 is provided at the end of the arc tube 1 on the electrode side.
上記ランプ構造の特徴は、ガラス管２〜５の先端部１３
〜１６をブリッジ構造で放電路から離すことにより、口
金上点灯時において先端部１３〜１６に最冷点を形成す
るようにしたことである。The above lamp structure is characterized by the tips 13 of the glass tubes 2 to 5.
By separating the tips 13 to 16 from the discharge path with a bridge structure, the coldest spots are formed at the tips 13 to 16 when the cap is lit.
かかる構成によれば、口金上点灯時の水銀蒸気圧を上記
先端部温度によってランプ光束面での適正範囲に制御す
ることができる。According to this configuration, the mercury vapor pressure during lighting on the cap can be controlled within an appropriate range on the lamp luminous flux surface by the temperature at the tip.
一方、口金上点灯時では、先端部１３〜１６の温度は上
昇するので、ガラス管３，４の口金側端部１７，１８か
、あるいは排気管１９などに最冷点が形成されるように
しており、この最冷点温度によって水銀蒸気圧を適正範
囲に制御している。On the other hand, when the top of the cap is lit, the temperature of the tips 13 to 16 rises, so the coldest point is formed at the cap side ends 17 and 18 of the glass tubes 3 and 4 or the exhaust pipe 19. The temperature at the coldest point controls the mercury vapor pressure within an appropriate range.

ランプでは、点灯回路での電力損失による発光管の口金
側端部の温度が上昇するので、この部分に最冷点個所を
設けることは不可能である。Problems to be Solved by the Invention The single-cap fluorescent lamp shown in Figure 3 is assembled as a single lamp, but it can also be lit inside the case by combining the luminous tube, a case for supporting it, and a light bulb base. Lamps with built-in devices are also being considered. However, in such a lamp, the temperature at the end of the arc tube on the base side increases due to power loss in the lighting circuit, so it is impossible to provide the coldest point in this part.
つまり、口金上点灯では発光管の先端部が最冷点となり
水銀蒸気圧は適正範囲に制御されるが、口金下点灯では
適正な最冷点個所を形成できないので、水銀蒸気圧が過

比べて光束が低下し、またランプ電流が高くなり、安定
器温度が過度に上昇するなどの問題点が発生する。In other words, when lighting above the cap, the tip of the arc tube becomes the coldest point and the mercury vapor pressure is controlled within an appropriate range, but when lighting below the cap, the coldest point cannot be formed properly, causing the mercury vapor pressure to rise excessively. do. As a result, when lighting under the cap, the luminous flux is lower than when lighting above the cap, and the lamp current becomes higher, causing problems such as an excessive rise in ballast temperature.

た構成を有する。Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve these problems, the single-capped fluorescent lamp of the present invention connects adjacent ends of a plurality of glass tubes, and A case made of cap material is attached to one end of the arc tube, which has a phosphor film formed on its inner surface, electrodes provided at both ends, and mercury and rare gas sealed inside, and a lighting device is placed inside this case. It has a structure in which an amalgam-forming substance is provided at the end of the arc tube on the base side.

できる。By providing an amalgam-forming substance at the end of the arc tube on the cap side, even if the temperature at the end of the arc tube on the cap side rises excessively due to power loss in the lighting circuit during lighting under the cap, the amalgam-forming substance will not be removed. Since the mercury vapor pressure is lower than that of mercury alone, the vapor pressure level can be controlled within an appropriate range.
