Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a long arc discharge lamp, and more particularly to a metal sealed with mercury or mercury, and a halogen, which is sealed at both ends by a foil sealing structure. Arc discharge lamp. [Prior Art] Conventionally, a long arc discharge lamp in which a metal other than mercury or mercury and a halogen, such as a metal halide lamp, is used as a discharge lamp that emits ultraviolet rays, for example, is widely used in a resin, an adhesive, Use of various treatments for curing, drying, melting, or softening of inks and photoresists. Such a long arc type discharge lamp is generally composed of an arc tube made of quartz glass and a sealing portion at both ends thereof, and a metal foil is embedded in the sealing portion, and the metal foil has a structure in which an electrode made of tungsten is connected. By. There are various structures in the seal portion. However, it is known that a plate member or a flat glass member is embedded in the seal portion, and the glass member is used to seal the member. In this configuration, the rear end of the sealing portion side of the electrode is formed flat, and a plate-like or flat glass member is disposed on the rear end side thereof, and the metal foil is bonded to the upper and lower surfaces of the flat portion of the electrode. It extends toward the upper and lower faces of the glass member and is joined to the outer leads at its rear end. A long arc type discharge lamp of such a configuration is disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2006-134710, in which a certain amount of rare gas, halogen, mercury, and iron are enclosed in the inside of the above-mentioned light-emitting tube. At the time of lighting, the main ^ -5- 201112308 should be able to illuminate ultraviolet rays near the wavelength of 365 nm. Further, this patent document describes an invention in which a portion having a small diameter is formed in the crotch portion of the electrode to prevent solidification of the halogen on the side of the sealing portion. However, in such a long arc type discharge lamp, as described above, since the distance from the arc is increased in the vicinity of the sealing portion, the temperature is necessarily lowered and the halogen is not easily polymerized as compared with the light-emitting portion. Further, such a lamp is generally operated at a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure so that the halogen easily enters the inside of the sealing portion. The temperature of the molybdenum foil in the sealing portion differs depending on the design or cooling conditions of the lamp, but at least 500 ° C or higher, the reaction between the molybdenum and the halogen is progressed, and the metal foil formed by the molybdenum of the sealing member is soon The halogen is eroded, and the interface between the close-packed molybdenum and the quartz glass is peeled off from the glass by high pressure, and a so-called "foil float" phenomenon occurs. Further, when the foil is floated again, the sealing in the lamp is discharged (leaked) to the outside, and an undesired phenomenon such as internal mercury outflow occurs. The reason for this leakage is mainly the operating pressure at the time of lighting. In such a long arc type discharge lamp, when the light emission length is 50 cm or more, the lamp input is 80 W/cm or more, and therefore, it is a high input lamp of at least 4 kW or more. Therefore, when the lamp is turned on, the enclosure is completely evaporated and operated, and the operating pressure is at least 1 atm or more, which corresponds to what is called a so-called high-pressure discharge lamp. In these lamps, the operating pressure is often applied to the sealing portion. Patent Document 1: Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei. No. Hei. No. 2006- 1 347 No. 1 00-201112308 The present invention provides a pair of electrodes disposed oppositely in an arc tube in view of the problems of the above conventional techniques. The long arc type discharge lamp formed by sealing the both ends by the foil sealing structure does not have the halogen enclosed in the arc tube enter the sealing portion to erode the metal foil, or the foil is floated by the halogen to make the sealed flow Long arc discharge lamp to the outside. In order to solve the above problem, in the long arc type discharge lamp of the present invention, the potential gradient is 8 V/cm or less, the lamp input power is 80 W/cm or more, and the light emission length is 5 Ocm or more, and the enclosure is a metal other than mercury or mercury, and The combination of halogens has a wavelength of 45 Onm or less, and the operating pressure at the time of lighting becomes a negative pressure. Further, it is preferable that the potential gradient is 8 V/cm or less, and the operating pressure at the time of lighting is 5 OkPa or less, and the foil sealing structure is a two-piece foil, which is characterized by the present invention. Although there is a high input for long arc discharge lamps. However, since the operating pressure at the time of lighting becomes a negative pressure of less than 1 atm, the sealing material in the arc tube, in particular, the halogen does not intrude into the sealing portion, so that corrosion of the metal foil does not occur, and foil floating occurs. , or the effect of being sealed out to the outside. As a result, the life of the lamp can be extended. However, in order to press the operation into a negative pressure, it is necessary to set the sealing amount of mercury or the like to be small, and the potential gradient (voltage) is suppressed to be low and the current is increased. If the lamp current is increased, in order to increase the current capacity of the molybdenum foil, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the crucible or increase the width. Further, as a method of increasing the current capacity, there is also a method of increasing the number of molybdenum foils. However, the method of increasing the number of molybdenum foils is to increase the fusion joint between the molybdenum foil and the electrode I" 201112308, and the glass member must also be placed between the molybdenum foils, and the minute space formed around the electrodes becomes large, making the halogen easy. Intrusion into its space is prone to foil floating. Therefore, the structure of two or more foils is mainly used for a xenon lamp or a short arc ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp in which a halogen is not sealed, and a halogen lamp is usually sealed with a molybdenum foil. On the other hand, in the present invention, as described above, the inside of the arc tube also becomes a negative pressure at the time of lighting, and the foil of the sealing portion is less likely to float than the normal high-pressure discharge lamp, and two or more foils can be used. The configuration can correctly correspond to the increase in current capacity. [Embodiment] Fig. 1 is a long arc type discharge lamp of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of a main part thereof. In the figure, the arc-shaped discharge lamp 1 is provided with quartz glass, and both ends of the arc tube 2 are provided with a sealing portion 3. In the arc tube 2, a pair of electrodes 4 and 4 are disposed opposite each other with a predetermined distance therebetween, for example, 500 mm. In this embodiment, the rear end 4 a of the non-light-emitting space side of the electrode 4 is formed into a flat shape, and at the rear end thereof, a quartz glass member which is formed into a flat shape in conformity with the shape of the rear end 4 a of the electrode is disposed. 6. In the sealing portion 3, the two metal foils 5, 5 joined to the upper and lower surfaces of the flat rear end 4a of the electrode 4 by welding or the like extend along the upper and lower surfaces of the glass member 6, and are at the rear end thereof. Connected to the outer lead 7. The external lead 7 protrudes from the outside of the arc tube 2 and is connected to a feeder (not shown) in the arc tube 2, and encloses a predetermined rare gas, and halogen-8 - 201112308 'and mercury, and iron, In this example, when lighting, for example, ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of around 365 nm are mainly emitted. Further, the enclosure is not limited to the above, and A: a combination of metal other than mercury or mercury + B: halogen may be used. Examples of such combinations are as follows. • Hg<Mercury>+(1<iodine>,81"<bromine>) • Zn (zinc)+ (1, Br) • Zn+Fel2<峨化铁> • H g + F e 12 • Metal α (81 < Secret >, 81 » < Paving > + (I, Br) These luminescent substances are enclosed so that the potential gradient of the lamp becomes 8 V/cm or less. Also, as a rare gas for improving startability For example, the illuminating length determined by the distance between the electrodes is 500 mm or more, and the lamp input power is 80 W/cm or more. The lamp in which the above luminescent substance is enclosed is the main emission wavelength 3 40 to 4 5 Onm. The ultraviolet ray is used for various applications such as curing of a resin, an adhesive, an ink, or a photoresist, or drying, melting, or softening, for example. The examples are shown below in the examples. Various long-arc discharge lamps for experiment, each lamp is common in the shape and size of the arc tube, the structure of the sealing portion, and the length of the light, and the voltage and the operating pressure of the sealed object and the lighting are not the same. 201112308 shows the lamp of the first embodiment, which uses the inner portion of the inner diameter of 22 mir' The discharge tube of the electrode 4 of 400 cm3 is sealed in such a manner that the sealing pressure of the mercury i 30 mg, the mercury iodide l〇mg and the helium gas is SkPa, and the discharge lamp of the electrode 4 is disposed at a distance of 1,000 mm between the electrodes, and the rated point is set. The force is 16,000 W, and the lamp voltage is 795 V. The lamp shown in Example 2 is an inner tube having the inner diameter of the central portion and having the same internal volume as that of the lamp of Example 1, mercury 7 3 mg '2 mg of mercury iodide and helium gas. The lamp was sealed in such a manner that the sealing pressure was 4 kPa, and the lamp having a rated point force of 1 6,000 W was the same as in the first embodiment, but the lamp voltage was 585 V. The lamp shown in the conventional example was the inner diameter of the center portion. The light-emitting tube having the same volume as that of the lamp of Example 1 was sealed so that 825 mg of mercury, 2 mg of mercury iodide, and a sealing pressure of helium gas were 4 kPa. The lamp having a rated point force of 1 6,000 W was the same as in the first embodiment. The voltage is 1, 3 5 7 V. Further, the potential gradient of the lamp of the above-described conventional example is 1 3 · 6 (V/cm), and in the lamp of the first embodiment of the present invention, the potential gradient is 7.95 (V/cm). The lamp in the second embodiment is 5.85 (V/cm). In connection with this, the lamps are verified. The operating pressure is the average gas temperature inside the lamp as the pressure of mercury, iodine, and helium at 2,00 0K, and the "state equation of gas": P = nRT/V, but P: action pressure, η: Mo Ear number, R: gas constant, Τ: absolute temperature = average gas temperature, V: lamp internal volume -10- 201112308 Find, sum up to obtain the operating pressure. The operation pressure 'measured as described above is 1 9000 (a tm )', and the first embodiment of the present invention is 0.81 (atm) ', and the second embodiment is 0.4 1 (atm ). In any of the lamps of the present invention, it is understood that the inside of the lamp also becomes a negative pressure in the lighting state. Fig. 4 is a graph showing the illuminance maintenance rate by performing the life lighting test of each of the above lamps. The vertical axis is the illuminance maintenance rate (%) for the initial illuminance. The horizontal axis is the elapsed time. From the experimental results, each lamp is lit and the illumination is reduced approximately at the same time. However, first, the lamp of the conventional example is near the lighting time of 4,50 hours, and leaks from the sealing portion. However, in the first and second embodiments, the lighting is maintained while the illuminance is lowered. In particular, Example 2 maintained lighting for more than 8,000 hours. In the lamp of the second embodiment, the internal pressure of the lamp at the time of lighting may be lower, thereby delaying the progress of the foil floating. Further, at the time of the leak, a large air current enters the inside of the lamp at about the same time as the leak, and it becomes impossible to perform the lighting, and the sealed flow is hardly seen to the outside. These are problems caused by the operating pressure at the time of lighting of a halogen-encapsulated lamp, and the same tendency is observed even when halogen and metal are placed regardless of the presence of mercury. As described above, even in the case of having the same light-emitting tube shape, the lamp of the seal portion structure has a pressure of more than atmospheric pressure for the operating pressure in the arc tube, and the present invention has a negative pressure of less than atmospheric pressure at the operating pressure. The lamp can suppress the leakage of the sealed substance in the sealed portion for a long time, and it is known that the - - - - - - - - has a long life. -11 - 201112308 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is a general view of a long arc discharge lamp of the present invention.
