 These fluorescent lamps are filled with a certain amount of gas and mercury for driving the light emission in the glass tube for the fluorescent material coated on the inner wall surface, and two electrodes are formed inside or outside the glass tube.

When the fluorescent lamps apply a high voltage to the two internal or external electrodes, electrons existing in the glass tube for the lamp move toward the electrode (anode) and collide with the secondary electrons to be discharged, thereby performing a discharge phenomenon. By virtue of electrons and mercury atoms flowing inside the glass tube for lamps collide with each other, ultraviolet light of approximately 253.7 nm is emitted, and visible light is emitted when the fluorescent material is excited by the ultraviolet light.

The heating means 38 promotes the exhaust action inside the glass tubes G before the sealing operation by the heat conduction action of the heat generating members 40, and after the sealing operation, the respective glass tubes G which are separately sealed. Correspondingly, it is used for work for evaporating mercury particles (A).

Next, the fluorescent lamp manufacturing process using the fluorescent lamp manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention having the above structure will be described in detail.

Figure 10 is a preferred overall process for manufacturing a fluorescent lamp, a step (S1) for mounting a plurality of glass tubes corresponding to the processing space of the chamber, and the gas and mercury injecting the interior of the glass tubes through the processing space The step S2 of sealing is included.

In the step S1 of mounting the glass tube, the upper tray 14a is positioned on the bottom surface of the chamber 2 as shown in FIG. 2 with a plurality of glass tubes G loaded on the cassette 4 side, respectively. After mounting using the fixture (F) as shown in the drawing.

At this time, the glass tubes (G) are coated on the inside of the cassette 4 so that only one end is sealed after the phosphor is coated therein, and the opposite opening side faces upward, and the processing space C of the chamber 2 is ) Inside the second guide passage (H2) of the control means (6) is a state in which a certain amount of mercury particles (A) are contained.

11 is a detailed process diagram of the divided sealing process (S2), the step (S2-1) of evacuating the inside of the glass tube through the processing space, the step of injecting gas into the exhausted glass tube (S2-2), Injecting mercury into the glass tube into which the gas is injected (S2-3), and splitting and sealing each glass tube into at least two or more (S2-4) while the gas and mercury are injected.

The evacuation step S2-1 is performed in a state where the first guide passage H1 of the adjusting means 6 is located in the processing space C as shown in FIG. 12.

That is, foreign matter, residual gas, and the like of the glass tube G are removed by the exhaust pipe L1 while being discharged through the processing space C, and the inside of the processing space becomes a vacuum atmosphere by the exhaust action. .

At this time, by heating the glass tube (G) in the temperature range of approximately 300 ℃ to 350 ℃ by the heat conduction action using the heat generating member 40 of the heating means 38 more smoothly the exhaust operation inside the glass tube (G). Is done.

When the exhaust step (S2-1) is completed, the exhaust pipe (L1) is blocked by a valve inside the glass tube (G) in communication with the processing space (C) is a vacuum state, the gas injection step in such atmosphere (S2-2) is performed.

In the gas injection step S2-2, the first guide passage H1 of the adjusting means is positioned in the processing space C as shown in FIG. 12 in the same manner as in the exhaust step S2-1. In the state, a predetermined amount of argon gas is supplied into the glass tube G through the gas tube L2. When the gas injection is completed, the gas pipe L2 is again blocked by the valve.

The mercury injection step (S2-3) is the control means 6 is moved in the processing space (C) so that the second guide passage (H2) as shown in Figure 13 to the opening side end of the glass tube (G) When the state is located to correspond to, the mercury particles (A) contained in the second guide passage (H2) side is dropped into the glass tube (G).

When the inside of the glass tube G is exhausted and gas and mercury are injected by the above-described steps S2-1, S2-2, and S2-3, the respective glass tubes G have a predetermined length. Partial sealing is performed (S2-4).

In this manner, the two outer circumferential surfaces of the glass tubes G are directly heated by sparks ignited in the nozzle holes 30 of the nozzle members N in the state where the two nozzle portions 22 are respectively positioned at the points for the divided sealing. Let's do it.

The divided sealing point of the glass tubes (G) is heated to a typical sealing temperature in the temperature range of approximately 1000 ℃ to 1200 ℃ by the flame of the nozzle members (N) so that one glass tube (G) is constant as shown in FIG. It is divided and sealed in two while being melt cut to size. At this time, the glass tube (G) to be partly sealed is positioned in the same posture as before the sealing by the holder portion (24).

As described above, in the sealing operation using the torch assembly 8, since one glass tube G may be divided and sealed into at least two or more by the nozzle unit 22, fluorescent lamps of various standards may be manufactured.

In addition, since the sealing operation is sealed while the outer circumferential surface of the glass tubes G is directly heated by the spark ignited in the nozzle holes 30 of the nozzle members N, the heating efficiency may be significantly improved compared to the indirect heating method.

In the above-described embodiment, one glass tube G is divided and sealed in two, but is illustrated in the description and drawings as an example. In addition, the nozzle portion 22 and the holder portions 24 may be provided with the tube length of the glass tube G. By dividing a plurality in the direction, it is possible to simply divide and seal three or more through the above-mentioned dividing sealing operation according to the required lamp specification.

When the glass tubes G are divided and sealed by the above process, each of the glass tubes G which are divided and sealed by using the heat generating members 40 of the heating means 38 installed on the fixed plate 26 side. The injected mercury particles (A) are evaporated.

That is, the heat generating members 40 generate heat in a state in which the heat generating members 40 are located between the divided and sealed glass tubes G, as shown in FIG. 15, so that the inside of the divided and sealed glass tubes G are formed by heat conduction. Mercury particles (A) are uniformly evaporated.

When the sealing process for manufacturing the fluorescent lamp is completed through the mercury evaporation operation, the glass tubes G may be separately separated and drawn from the holder part 24.

In the above description of the preferred embodiment of the fluorescent lamp manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention, the present invention is not limited to this, but it is not limited to the scope of the claims and the detailed description of the invention and the accompanying drawings to be carried out in various modifications It is possible and this also belongs to the scope of the present invention.

As described above, the present invention can easily perform a sealing process including operations such as exhaust, gas injection, and mercury injection through a chamber, that is, a single processing space, in the manufacture of a fluorescent lamp.

In particular, the sealing process is satisfactory because the glass tubes for lamp manufacturing in the state in which gas and mercury are injected are directly heated by the torch assembly, so that at least two or more can be divided and sealed in the tube length direction corresponding to one glass tube for lamp manufacturing. Work compatibility and sealing efficiency can be obtained. Therefore, since the sealing operation is easy and the time required for this can be greatly reduced, not only the sealing process but also the work efficiency and productivity of the entire process for manufacturing the fluorescent lamp can be further improved.
