The first is to use direct instillation, which is to directly drop the required amount of liquid mercury into the tube. Although it seems simple and convenient, it hides a problem because of mercury. The cohesion is so great that when droplets of liquid mercury are dropped, the droplets must be dripped to a certain extent, so this manufacturing method can only be applied to lamps with large diameters. The second is to mix mercury with other metals to form granular solid mercury. 15 Then put the required amount of solid mercury particles in the lamp tube, and then heat the tube to achieve the proper amount of liquid. The disadvantage of this method is that mercury must first be mixed with other metals to form alloy particles, so that the cost of preparation is relatively cumbersome. Furthermore, since the alloy particles contain other kinds of metals, the temperature at which the heating is performed is 20 f higher during the vaporization of the mercury by heating, and the cost of other metals is also slightly affected to the inner wall of the finished lamp tube. Coating quality. Therefore, there is still room for improvement in both of the above methods.

The seventh figure is a schematic view of the lamp tube of the present invention after completion. In the method of inserting mercury in a small lamp tube provided by the present invention, please refer to the first to third figures when manufacturing the lamp 5 tube. First, a glass tube 10 is first obtained, and the outer diameter of the glass tube is smaller than the inner diameter of the tube. The glass tube is placed in front of a syringe 20, the syringe includes a receiving portion 21, one end of the receiving portion is provided with a pressing portion 22, and the other end is provided with an injection portion 23, which is filled with liquid 10 Mercury, the injection portion is a needle-shaped body, the glass tube is placed in front of the syringe and the injection portion is inserted into and close to the inner wall surface of the glass tube, and the pressing portion can be connected to an electric motor The automatic control mechanism or the stepping mechanism 24 enables the extrusion amount of liquid mercury to be automatically controlled with higher precision. Pushing the pressing portion 22 of the syringe so that the liquid mercury 15 in the accommodating portion 21 can be injected into the glass tube 10 through the injection portion 23, and the injection portion of the syringe is close to On the inner wall surface of the glass tube, when the liquid mercury is extruded into the injection portion, it is attached to the inner wall surface of the glass tube, so that there is no problem that the mercury droplets are too small to drip. After that, the lamp tube 30 to be processed has a closed 20 end 31 and an open end 32. The lamp to be processed is provided with a convex portion protruding into the tube at a predetermined distance from the open port. 33, the open end of the tube to be processed is placed into a temperature control tube 40, the temperature control tube has a pumping end 41, the pumping end can be connected to a pumping device, and the pumping can be continuously pumped to make the processing The open end 32 of the tube is maintained in a temperature-stable condition so that the liquid mercury in the glass tube is not evaporating due to changes in the external ambient temperature. Inserting a glass tube containing liquid mercury into the tube to be processed from the open end of the tube to be processed, at which time the glass tube will fall into the tube to be processed and be stuck in the convex portion, Will continue to fall. Close the open end 32 of the tube to be processed, and then heat the one end 32 of the glass tube for the tube to be processed, and blow the cold air to the other end 31 of the tube to be processed, and then cool. The liquid mercury in the tube to be processed is vaporized by heating, and the end of the heating is diffused and cooled toward the cooled end, and adheres to the inner wall surface of the tube to be processed. After heating for a predetermined period of time, the tube to be processed is cut off from the convex portion by the glass tube section, and the removed tube to be processed is sealed to form a desired finished product. In the manufacturing method of the present invention, mercury is not required to be granulated in advance, and the droplets of liquid mercury are too small, and the cohesive force is too large to drip, which can clearly improve the conventional manufacturing. Troubled, especially in some products with small diameters, such as PL lamps or cold cathode tubes, the lamp diameters of these products are calculated in mm, and in such a small size, the manufacturing method of the present invention is The improvement effect of such products is particularly obvious. 1286047 DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION | and A A repair (more) positive replacement [Simplified description of the drawings] The first figure is a schematic view of the glass tube used in the present invention.
