Definitions
- the invention relates to a low-pressure discharge lamp with an essentially tubular discharge vessel made of glass which is sealed gas-tight at the ends, a filling made of a noble gas mixture and possibly mercury and possibly a phosphor coating on the inner wall of the discharge vessel, two current leads being melted gas-tight in each of the two ends of the discharge vessel are, which run essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the discharge vessel in this section and to the inner end of which is attached a spiral electrode which extends essentially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the discharge vessel.
- the lamp When a low-pressure discharge lamp is cold started without electrode preheating, the lamp first starts with a glow discharge when connected to the mains. This glow discharge with a current in the range of a few mA changes into the arc discharge after approx. 20 to 100 ms, ie after the electrodes have been heated. The transition now takes place during the transition from the glow discharge to the arc discharge Bend at the transition from the part not pasted with electrode material to the pasted part of the electrode, since the pasted part of the electrode is still cold and therefore not conductive. Due to the fact that the arc is always in the same place on the filament electrode each time the lamp is switched on, there is a sputtering off of electrode material and thus a premature breakage of the electrode compared to the preheated electrode.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a low-pressure discharge lamp which, when cold-started, has a higher switching stability than the previously known low-pressure discharge lamps and thus an extended average service life.
- a low-pressure discharge lamp with an essentially tubular discharge vessel made of glass, which is sealed gas-tight at the ends, a filling made of a noble gas mixture and possibly mercury, and possibly a phosphor coating on the inner wall of the discharge vessel, two in each case in the two ends of the discharge vessel
- Current supply lines are melted in a gas-tight manner, which run essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the discharge vessel in this section and to whose inner end a spiral electrode which is essentially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the discharge vessel is fastened, in that at least to increase the switching stability of the lamp during cold start operation a further electrode made of a conductive material is arranged in the area between the filament electrode and the subsequent end of the discharge vessel, one end of this further electrode having one of the two currents feeders is electrically connected.
- This additional electrode serves as a sacrificial electrode, because this is an electrode that is used to discharge the arc to attach the arc when it is set the arc discharge is offered, it is irrelevant whether material of this electrode is sputtered.
- the arc discharge first starts at this sacrificial electrode and then jumps when the emitter material on the coil electrode has been heated by ion bombardment to such an extent that it is hot enough for the thermal emission of electrons, onto the coil electrode.
- the coil electrode Since the coil electrode must be heated to the required operating temperature of approx. 900 to 1500 K even if another electrode is used as the sacrificial electrode and this can only be achieved with sufficient speed by ion bombardment, the ion bombardment on the coil electrode must not be completely prevented.
- the further electrode in order to keep the sputtering of electrode material from the coil electrode small, the further electrode must be attached geometrically relative to the coil electrode such that the plasma density at the coil electrode is significant compared to the case without an additional electrode, i.e. is reduced by a factor of approximately 100.
- the further electrode is advantageously mounted in such a way that, when viewed perpendicularly to the plane formed by the two current leads and the spiral electrode, it largely lies between the two current leads.
- NE is the plasma density at the location of the spiral electrode
- n Pr s E is the plasma density at the location of the further electrode.
- the energy of the ions that strikes the spiral electrode and the further electrode is thus approximately the same size; however, due to the low plasma density n P
- the conductive material of the electrode has a high coefficient for the secondary electron emission. Investigations with different materials showed that especially nickel and / or ruthenium but also tungsten are suitable for this. In contrast, molybdenum, which should also be very suitable due to its high secondary electron emission coefficient, has not proven to be suitable, which is not yet understood.
- the further electrode advantageously consists of a wire with a wire diameter between 50 and 150 ⁇ m.
- the further electrode should be arranged as close as possible to the spiral electrode.
- the further electrode extends essentially parallel to the axis of the spiral electrode from the power supply to which it is electrically connected in the direction of the other power supply.
- Particularly advantageous results with regard to the arc attachment on the further electrode are obtained if the electrode extends 40 to 60% of the distance between the two current leads in the direction of the other current leads. Since after the ignition of the lamp the electric field on the additional electrode preferably runs parallel to the axis of the discharge vessel, it is advantageous if part of the additional electrode points in this direction in order to keep the glow discharge on the additional electrode. For this reason the free end of the further electrode is bent in the direction of the spiral electrode.
- a favorable distance between the axis of the filament electrode and the free end or tip of the additional electrode essentially depends on the inside diameter of the discharge vessel in this area.
- a negative glow light is formed around this electrode, which is of the order of half the inside diameter of the discharge vessel. This forms directly on the surface of the further electrode Cathode drop space.
- the plasma density rises steeply in the negative glow light in order to drop significantly after a maximum until the level of the positive column is reached at the end of the negative glow light.
- the free end of the further electrode (7, 8) therefore preferably has a distance of (0.2-1) x R ⁇ n ⁇ e nrohr from the spiral electrode (5), wherein R
- the further electrode (7, 8) can advantageously be fastened to the power supply line rotated by an angle of less than or equal to 45 ° with respect to the axis of the spiral electrode. This favors the ignition of the glow discharge at the sacrificial electrode, since the initial electron avalanche runs from the electrode to the wall of the discharge vessel. The closer the sacrificial electrode comes to the wall of the discharge vessel, the more likely the glow discharge will ignite on the sacrificial electrode.
- a further improvement in the switching stability and thus the average lamp life during cold start operation is achieved if the lamp has two further electrodes instead of another electrode as the sacrificial electrode, one end of each further electrode being connected to one of the two current leads of the same filament electrode, so that each of the two power leads, another electrode is electrically connected.
- the figure shows one end of a compact low-pressure discharge lamp according to the invention with a power consumption of 21 W.
- Discharge vessel 1 is made up of three U-shaped discharge vessel parts with a tube outer diameter of 12 mm, which are connected by cross-fusion to form a coherent discharge path.
- the two ends of the discharge vessel are sealed gas-tight by a pinch 2.
- two current leads 3, 4 made of Fe-Ni-Cr wire with a wire diameter of 400 ⁇ m are melted in a gas-tight manner and carry a spiral electrode 5 made of double-wound tungsten wire at their inner end.
- the two power supplies 3, 4 are additionally held by a glass bead 6 in the middle between the spiral electrode 5 and the pinch 2 into which they are melted.
- a further electrode 7, 8 is in each case attached as a sacrificial electrode between the glass bead 6 and the spiral electrode 5 on the two power supply lines 3, 4.
- the two further electrodes 7, 8 consist of nickel wire with a wire diameter of 125 ⁇ m. They run away from the power supply lines 3, 4 parallel to the axis of the coil electrode 5 and are angled at their end at a right angle to the coil electrode 5. There is a distance of 1.25 mm between the tips of the further electrodes 7, 8 and the spiral electrode 5.
- the sections of the further electrodes 7, 8 parallel to the spiral electrode 5 have a length of 3 mm; they are welded to the opposite side of the respective power supply 3 or 4 and thus do not touch.
