Description of the Invention [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a cold cathode fluorescent lamp incorporating a cold cathode fluorescent tube, and more particularly to ensuring the same degree of freedom of use and amount of light as conventional fluorescent lamps. 'And there is no cold cathode fluorescent lamp with a reduced lifetime even when used at low temperatures. φ [Prior Art] Since the cold cathode fluorescent tube does not have a filament, the electrode has a feature that the tube diameter can be extremely fine. Moreover, since it can withstand flashing light, the life is also long, and the structure of the structure or the lighting circuit is relatively simple, so that it has the advantage of being low-cost. Therefore, most of them are used in backlights of liquid crystal displays that have limited storage space and do not need to be replaced by the purchaser. In addition, it is known from the reason of the postscript that it is not popular as a general lighting fixture. However, the lure in the building with a light source in the transparent frame or the electric signboard 'Use cold cathode firefly' The light pipe is used as a light source (Patent Document 1) ° Generally, the installation of the side device of the cold cathode fluorescent tube is not necessary for the purchaser to replace it, so by the two lamps The electrode wire at the end is welded to the conductor on the power supply side (Patent Document 2). [Patent Document 1] JP-A-2002-324592 (Patent Document 3) Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei-189259 (Patent Document 4) JP-A-2000- [Announcement] [Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, the cold cathode fluorescent tube has a higher thermal cathode fluorescent lamp than the conventional hot cathode fluorescent lamp (hereinafter simply referred to as "fluorescent lamp"). The characteristics of low temperature, brightness, or reduced life, especially in the case of appliances used outdoors, may cause a decrease in luminance due to a decrease in outside air temperature, and a sufficient illumination effect may not be obtained. Further, regarding the service life, even if the temperature is not zero, when the ambient temperature becomes 10 ° C or less, the service life is extremely shortened. In this case, in order to prevent the performance of the cold cathode fluorescent tube from degrading at a low temperature, an invention of an operation guarantee circuit for adding a low temperature (Patent Document 3) or an invention using a heater (Patent Document 4) is proposed. The problem that the structure becomes complicated and becomes high is also generated. Further, in the case of a liquid crystal display, for example, when a cold cathode fluorescent tube is used as a light source that is installed or replaced in a factory or a work place, there is no loss in the above-described mounting structure, but it is performed on site. In the case of replacing the light source of the induction lamp or the electric signboard used outside the house, the use of the cold cathode fluorescent tube may cause a defect in such a mounting structure. That is, since the fluorescent tube cannot be mounted and replaced with a single touch by soldering, the work efficiency at the site is remarkably deteriorated. In addition, most of the cold cathode fluorescent tubes are made of glass tubes having a diameter of less than 1 cm. In the case of a long strip, it is necessary to pay sufficient attention to the fact that they are not damaged when they are installed or replaced. Will significantly detract from the efficiency of the work on site. In addition, as a mounting structure of a cold cathode fluorescent tube, it is easy to associate with the form of a general fluorescent lamp in which a lamp pin protruding from a mouth ring is inserted into a lamp socket, but it is considered to be an ordinary person. In the case of processing, since the voltage driven by the cold cathode fluorescent tube is high, it is necessary to take measures against the occurrence of electric shock accidents such as a leakage current detecting circuit or an interlock circuit. For the above reasons, even with the above-described advantages, attempts to use a cold cathode fluorescent tube for a general lighting fixture are not generally easy. Q [Means for Solving the Problem] The present invention has been developed to solve the above problems, and an object of the invention is to provide a cold cathode fluorescent lamp which can solve the above problems. In other words, in the cold cathode fluorescent tube according to claim 1, the plurality of cold cathode fluorescent tubes and the inverter device are housed in the cylindrical lamp cover, and are provided at the both ends of the lamp cover for insertion into the lamp socket. The conduction ring and the lamp pin supply electric power to the lighting circuit composed of the inverter device and the cold cathode fluorescent tube via the lamp pin. Further, in the cold cathode fluorescent lamp, a plurality of cold cathode fluorescent tubes are arranged side by side in the lateral direction in the xenon lamp cover, and a space is provided between the cold cathode fluorescent tubes. In the invention described in the second aspect of the present invention, the invention relates to a cold cathode fluorescent light as described in the above-mentioned claim i, in consideration of compatibility with a general fluorescent lamp in consideration of the amount of light and the environment in which it is used. In the lampshade, a cold cathode fluorescent tube having two diameters of 15.5 mm to 32.5 mm, which is composed of a glass tube for a fluorescent lamp or a plastic resin tube, is housed. The invention described in claim 3 is a specific cold-cavity light-storing device according to the above-mentioned claim 1 or 2, which has a plurality of bridging members, which are provided at the center. a frequency converter supporting hole through which the inverter device is inserted, and a plurality of fluorescent tube insertion holes are provided on the outer side of the inverter supporting hole so as to be spaced apart from the cold cathode fluorescent tubes by the cold cathodes The fluorescent tubes are inserted into the bridging members 'to bond the cold cathode fluorescent tubes to each other' and are supported between the cold cathode fluorescent tubes by arranging the frequency conversion devices between the respective bridging members. The cold cathode fluorescent lamp according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the inverter device is applied in a pale color to improve the cold cathode fluorescent tube. The cold cathode fluorescent lamp according to any one of the above claims 1 to 4, wherein the lampshade comprising the glass tube for a fluorescent lamp is made of the fluorescent lamp. The light transmittance of the light transmittance is 90% or more, and the illumination light from the cold cathode fluorescent tube is scattered and reflected by Q on the wall of the lamp cover. The cold cathode fluorescent lamp according to any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the lamp cover made of a plastic resin tube has a light transmittance of 90% or more. Transparent, the illumination light from the cold cathode fluorescent tube is diffused by refraction. [Effect of the Invention] According to the present invention, a part of the vicinity of the cathode of the cold cathode fluorescent tube -8 - 200926249 is diffused to the lamp by the heat medium by using the air enclosed in the lamp cover of the cold cathode fluorescent tube as a heat medium. As a whole, the overall temperature of the surface of the cold cathode fluorescent tube is increased. Therefore, even when the temperature of the external air is lowered, the ambient temperature in the lamp cover can be maintained at 1 (TC or higher, and the surface temperature of the cold cathode fluorescent tube can be maintained. It does not decrease in the same temperature as the outside air temperature, and the luminance does not decrease in the same operating temperature range as in the conventional fluorescent lamp, and the long life can be achieved. Secondly, according to the present invention, the cold cathode fluorescent tube is It is housed in a φ cylindrical lampshade, and the lamp pins at both ends are inserted into a pair of lamp sockets. Therefore, it is not necessary to use soldering for connection, even for ordinary users, it can be the same as a general fluorescent lamp. Replace the ground. In this case, by installing the inverter for driving the cold cathode fluorescent tube in the lamp, the lamp is only for general commercial power supply or low voltage DC power supply, even if It is also possible to protect the safety of the user by using the same lamp socket as the conventional lighting fixture. In addition, when the inverter is housed in the lampshade, there is a shadow of the inverter when lighting is performed. The frequency converter is housed in a lamp housing in which a fluorescent tube is housed, and is known in the field of a ball type fluorescent lamp. However, in such a fluorescent lamp, illumination light is distributed in a direction opposite to the mouth ring. Because the ring itself is also a large one for the electric ball, most of the inverter can be retracted to the vicinity of the mouth ring, and it becomes unnecessary to consider the technical necessity of the aforementioned shadow problem. In contrast, the inverter is used. In the case where it is housed in the same lampshade as a normal fluorescent lamp, such a retracting means cannot be obtained, and this invention becomes a peculiar technical problem. In response to this problem, in the present invention, a plurality of cold cathode fluorescent lamps are used. The tubes are arranged in the shade in such a manner that they are arranged in the horizontal direction, and a space is provided between the cold cathodes of the cold cathodes -9-200926249, and the inverter device is housed in the space. The cold cathode fluorescent tubes in the dead space can minimize the influence of the shadow generated by the inverter device. Moreover, it is also helpful to ensure that a plurality of cold cathode fluorescent tubes are housed in the lamp cover. The amount of light corresponding to one fluorescent lamp of the same size can be combined with the prevention of the amount of light. In addition, according to the invention described in claim 4, the light-emitting device is light-colored by the variable-frequency device. Since the coating is used to improve the reflection efficiency, even if the illumination light from the cold cathode fluorescent tube is blocked by the inverter device, it is reflected and irradiated, so that the influence of the shadow caused by the inverter device can be suppressed. In addition, the details of the effect are as described in the invention mode described below. According to the invention described in the claim 5, the light cover formed by the glass tube for a fluorescent lamp is made to transmit light. The rate is 90% or more, and the light from the tube wall of the lampshade is scattered and reflected from the cold cathode fluorescent tube, so it can be affected by the frequency conversion device. The inhibiting influence to a minimum. According to the invention of claim 6, the lampshade formed of the plastic resin tube has a semitransparent shape having a light transmittance of 90% or more, and is refracted to be used from the cold cathode fluorescent tube. Illumination light diffusion' Therefore, the influence of the shadow caused by the inverter device can be minimized. Next, according to the invention described in claim 3, 'the inverter device is bridged between a plurality of bridge members through which the cold cathode fluorescent tubes are inserted'. --10-200926249 means that each cold cathode fluorescent tube is simultaneously The combination of the bridging members and the assembly of the variable frequency device, together with the integration of the inverter, also produces a composite effect of increasing the strength of the external cold cathode fluorescent tubes. The cold cathode fluorescent lamp of the present invention having the above effects and effects is, from a commercial point of view, the first one, by incorporating the frequency converter for driving the cold cathode fluorescent tube into the lamp, so that no additional Install a stabilizer, a glow light starter, a light-emitting starter, or other parts for lamp lighting, such as a glow lighter, or a wiring for these parts, to achieve a single, compact, and inexpensive lighting fixture. The second ''s shape is the same as that of the conventional fluorescent lamp, and the general commercial power supply or the low-voltage DC power supply is sufficient. Therefore, the main body of the appliance and the lamp socket can be easily used as products. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a portion of a whole structure of a cold cathode fluorescent lamp 1 of the present invention. Reference numeral 2 in the figure is a lamp cover in which a plurality of cold cathode fluorescent tubes 3 are housed. In this embodiment, two cold cathode fluorescent tubes are housed, but the number of branches is not limited thereto. FIG. 8 is a view showing an assembled structure of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp 1. Reference numeral 4 in the figure is a ring for holding the above-described cold cathode fluorescent tube 3 in the globe 2, and is made of an insulating material such as plastic. The mouth ring 4 is attached to both ends of the globe 2 in a state in which the cold cathode fluorescent tubes 3 are sandwiched by the both sides, and the annular groove 6 for embedding the end portions of the lamp cover is provided on the inner side. A retaining hole 5 is provided for the end of the cold cathode fluorescent tube. On the surface side -11 - 200926249 of the mouth ring 4, a lamp pin 7 for inserting through the lamp socket and conducting is protruded, and the lamp pin is connected to a lighting circuit of the cold cathode fluorescent tube. Figure 10 is a block diagram of the lighting circuit for this purpose. In this circuit, the lamp pin 7 is connected to the inverter unit 10, and the inverter unit is used to drive the cold cathode fluorescent tube 3 connected thereto. The cold cathode fluorescent tubes 3 described above are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction in the globe 1, and a space is provided between the cold cathode fluorescent tubes to accommodate the inverter device in the space. Reference numeral 10 in the figure is a variable Q frequency device, and components such as an output transformer 12, a capacitor 13, and a choke coil 14 are attached to the substrate 11. Reference numeral 20 in the figure is a bridge member for supporting the above-described inverter device 10 between the cold cathode fluorescent tubes, and is constituted by an insulating material such as plastic. The bridging member 20 is provided at the center with a frequency converter supporting hole 21 through which the inverter device 1 is inserted, and is provided on the outer side of the inverter supporting hole so as to be spaced apart from the cold cathode fluorescent tubes 3 A plurality of fluorescent tubes are inserted through the through holes 23 (see FIGS. 5 to 7). At least two of the bridging members 20 are prepared, and the cold cathode fluorescent tubes 3 are inserted into the fluorescent tube insertion holes 23 to bond the cold cathode fluorescent tubes to each other and bridged by the spacers. The receiving portion 22 of each of the bridging members is disposed to support the inverter device 10. Further, although not shown, a part of the outer periphery of the bridge member 20 may be in contact with the inner wall surface of the globe 1, in which case each cold cathode fluorescent light that is integrated by the bridging member is integrated. The tube 3 is also integrated with the lampshade to further increase the strength. The above-mentioned lampshade 2 is a cylindrical body made of glass or resin. For example, -12-200926249 is composed of a glass tube for fluorescent lamps or a plastic resin tube, and here, two cold cathode fluorescent tubes 3 are accommodated. . In this case, when the cold cathode fluorescent tube 3 is housed in the globe 2, it is necessary to provide a proper gap between the inner peripheral wall and the outer peripheral wall of the fluorescent tube. This gap is used to ensure air between the lamp cover and the outer peripheral wall of the fluorescent tube. This air acts as a heat medium to diffuse heat from the portion of the cold cathode fluorescent tube to the entire cold cathode fluorescent lamp to improve the surface temperature of the cold cathode fluorescent tube. Therefore, if the gap is narrow φ and the amount of air is too small, or conversely, the gap is wide and the amount of air is too large, it does not function as a heat medium. Therefore, in order to function as a heat medium, it is necessary to set the outer diameter of the lamp inner diameter lamp. size. In this embodiment, a cold cathode fluorescent tube having an outer diameter of 3_0 to 6_0 mm, a total length of 400 to 1200 mm, and a lamp current of 8.0 to 1 5.0 mA is used, and a diameter of 15.5 mm to 32.5 mm (thickness: 1.0 to 1.5 mm) is used. The lampshade or polycarbonate lampshade is used to achieve the aforementioned effects. As described above, in the present invention, the influence of the shadow caused by the inverter device can be minimized by placing the inverter device between the cold cathode fluorescent tubes of the original dead space φ, but in this embodiment, In order to further reduce the impact, the following means can be employed. First, here, the frequency conversion device 10 is coated with a pale color such as white to improve the reflection efficiency. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, even if the illumination light from the upper and lower cold cathode fluorescent tubes 3 and 3 is blocked by the inverter i 〇, it is reflected and irradiated, so that the inverter device can be used. The effects of the shadows are suppressed to a minimum. That is, in the figure, the illumination light directed downward from the upper cold cathode fluorescent tube 3 is blocked by the inverter device 10, but is reflected thereon, and -13-200926249 is irradiated upward in the direction of χ and χ. Further, the illumination light upward from the lower cold cathode fluorescent tube 3 is blocked by the inverter device 1 ,, but is reflected on the lower surface thereof and irradiated in the Y and Y directions below. In this case, the irradiation in the X and X directions toward the upper side corresponds to the irradiation of the cold cathode fluorescent tube 3 from the lower side when the inverter device 1 is not present, and the Y and Y directions are downward. Irradiation is the irradiation of the cold cathode fluorescent tube 3 from the upper side in the case where the inverter device 10 is not present, and as a result, the influence of the shadow Φ can be minimized. Further, although not shown, the illumination light from the cold cathode fluorescent tube 3 can be easily reflected by coating the upper surface of the inverter device 10 in which the surface shape is irregular due to the mounting of the components on the substrate 11. This surface 0 is a case where a glass tube for a fluorescent lamp is used as the cover 2, and this is made into a matte shape having a light transmittance of 90% or more. As a result, a part of the illumination light from the cold cathode fluorescent tube 3 is scattered by the φ wall surface in the glass tube, and is transmitted and irradiated to the outside. Therefore, it is difficult to see the inverter device in appearance. The shadow. Here, in the case where a plastic resin tube such as polycarbonate is used as the globe 2, a translucent shape having a light transmittance of 90% or more is obtained. As a result, the illumination light from the cold cathode fluorescent tube 3 that has passed through the lamp cover is diffused by the refracting and is radiated to the outside, so that the appearance of the frequency conversion device is less likely to be seen.
