3 is a layout view schematically illustrating a configuration of a fluorescent lamp firing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 is a front view schematically showing a fluorescent lamp firing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The fluorescent lamp firing apparatus performs a firing process in a state in which the fluorescent lamp 30 is inserted into the quartz tube 40. As shown in FIG. 3, the fluorescent lamp firing apparatus includes a loading unit 100 for inserting the fluorescent lamp 30 into the quartz tube 40, and a transfer unit for transferring the quartz tube 40 into which the fluorescent lamp 30 is inserted. 110 and an unloading part 150 for carrying out the fired fluorescent lamp 30 from the quartz tube 40. Here, the fluorescent lamp 30 means a glass tube coated with a fluorescent material after the coating process. The quartz tube 40 is used to prevent breakage of the fluorescent lamp 30 having a diameter of only a few mm and to rotate the fluorescent lamp 30 more easily in the firing process.

The unloading unit 150 ejects from the gas injection unit 151 and the quartz tube 40 to eject the fluorescent lamp 30 to the other side of the quartz tube 40 by injecting a high pressure gas from one side of the quartz tube 40. And a fluorescent lamp receiver 152 for receiving the fluorescent lamp 30.

One side of the transfer unit 110 is provided with a heating unit 130 for firing the fluorescent lamp 30. As shown in FIG. 4, the heating unit 130 for firing and stabilizing the fluorescent material coated on the inner wall of the fluorescent lamp 30 is positioned at a predetermined distance above the transfer unit 110. The heating unit 130 may be formed of an electric heater or the like that radiates heat. Heat radiated from the heating unit 130 passes through the quartz tube 40 to heat the fluorescent material applied to the inner wall of the fluorescent lamp 30. The heating unit 130 may be divided into a preheating section (P1), the main heating section (P2), the holding section (P3) and the cooling section (P4), the preheating section (P1) is a fluorescent lamp 30 at room temperature It is a section to start heating, the main heating section (P2) is a section for heating the fluorescent lamp 30 to the temperature required for the firing of the fluorescent material, the holding section (P3) is heated to the temperature of the fluorescent lamp 30 Cooling section (P4) is a section for lowering the heating temperature to cool before carrying out the firing completed fluorescent lamp 30 to the outside while passing through the holding section (P3).

The transfer unit 110 is to advance the fluorescent lamp 30 in one direction below the heating unit 130, and includes rotating rollers 111 and 112 and a lifting block 120. The plurality of rotating rollers are composed of a set of unit rollers formed by coupling a pair of rotating rollers 111 and 112 to face one rotating shaft. That is, the plurality of rotating rollers constitute one unit roller one by one pair, and each unit roller is arranged side by side along the traveling direction of the fluorescent lamp 30, that is, the quartz tube 40. The distance between neighboring unit rollers is smaller than the diameter of one rotating roller 111, so that a pair of neighboring rotating rollers 111 and 112 are arranged so that portions thereof overlap in the advancing direction of the quartz tube 40. . Then, a V-shaped groove is formed between a pair of adjacent rotary rollers 111 and 112 along the advancing direction of the quartz tube 40. The quartz tube 40 has a point where the groove shape is formed. It is positioned at and supported by a pair of rotary rollers (111, 112). The plurality of rotating rollers may all rotate in the same direction or may rotate in different directions. A pair of rotating rollers 111 and 112 supporting at least one quartz tube 40 together may be rotated in the same direction. It must rotate. When the quartz tube 40 is positioned between two adjacent rotating rollers 111 and 112 along the advancing direction of the quartz tube 40, the quartz tube 40 is formed by two adjacent rotating rollers 111 and 112. Supported together, since the two rotating rollers 111 and 112 rotate in the same direction, the quartz tube 40 rotates in the opposite direction by friction, and the fluorescent lamp 30 inserted into the quartz tube 40 also rotates. Done. The reason for rotating the fluorescent lamp 30 is because the fluorescent lamp 30 is a tubule, so if the heating process is not uniform, it may be deformed or broken, so that heat is evenly transmitted to the entire fluorescent lamp 30.

Lifting block 120 is to allow the fluorescent lamp 30 to proceed sequentially from the preheating section (P1) to the cooling section (P4), the V-shaped groove 121 is formed at the top, It is installed to enable horizontal movement. The lifting block 120 is operated at a position lower than the upper end of the rotating roller at the initial position and then raised to a position higher than the rotating roller. Then, the quartz tube 40 is separated from the rotating roller while being supported by the groove 121 of the elevating block 120. Next, the lifting block 120 moves in the horizontal direction from the preheating section P1 toward the cooling section P4. The horizontally moved lifting block 120 is lowered down to a lower position than the rotating roller. In this process, the quartz tube 40 supported by the elevating block 120 is supported by another rotating roller, and the elevating block 120 is spaced apart from the quartz tube 40. At this time, the rotating roller supporting the quartz tube 40 becomes the next rotating roller located at a point spaced apart from the rotating roller initially supported by the lifting block 120 in the horizontal direction toward the cooling section P4. The lifting block 120 carrying the quartz tube 40 to the next rotating roller moves horizontally in the direction from the cooling section P4 to the preheating section P1 at a lower position than the rotating roller and returns to the initial position. Complete one transfer cycle.

The above configuration of the transfer unit 110 is only an example and may have a different configuration. For example, a groove corresponding to the diameter of the quartz tube 40 may be formed on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating roller without the lifting block 120 to transfer the quartz tube 40 to another rotating roller adjacent thereto. In this case, however, in order to ensure sufficient time for heating the fluorescent lamp 30 accommodated in the quartz tube 40, the diameter of the rotating roller is adjusted, the rotational speed of the rotating roller is reduced, or radiated from the heating unit 130. Other measures may need to be taken, such as controlling calories.

The cooling unit 140 may be further disposed at a position corresponding to the cooling section P4 of the heating unit 130 in order to cool the fluorescent lamp 30 to a room temperature and deliver it to the next process. The cooling unit 140 may be disposed to be symmetrical with the cooling section P4 of the heating unit 130 below the rotating roller.
