Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the inner surface of the outer tube of a compact fluorescent lamp from becoming cloudy by affixing light-transmitting protective films containing no sodium components on the inner surface of the outer tube and the outer surfaces of inner tubes. CONSTITUTION:A compact fluorescent lamp is constituted of a lamp part (A), a lighting device part (B) and a screw base part (C). The lamp part (A) is constituted of an outer tube 1, plural U-shaped inner tubes 2 connected in series, a spacer 3 and a stem 4. Electrodes 13 are installed at both ends of the inner tubes 2 to form an electric discharge path in the inner tubes 2. In addition, light-transmitting protective films made of SiO2 or the like and containing no sodium components are formed on the inner surface of the outer tube 1 and the outer surfaces of the inner tubes 2. As a result, any sodium amalgam is prevented from being formed on the inner surface of the outer tube 1 and the outer surfaces of the inner tubes 2 due to near ultraviolet rays developed by intratubular electric discharge, thereby preventing the inner surface of the outer tube 1 from becoming cloudy. Consequently, early deterioration of the luminous flux can be improved.

(Background Art) Part 1 is a perspective view showing a conventional fluorescent lamp, which is comprised of a lamp part A, a lighting device part B, and a screw cap part C. Part 2 I is an exploded perspective view of the lamp part A. The lamp part A consists of an outer tube 1, a U-shaped inner tube 2, a spacer 3 and a stem 4,
A phosphor 5 is coated on the inner wall of the inner tube 2 and fired.
The spacer 3 is provided with six inner tube insertion holes 7a to 7f each having a counterbore s6 for positioning and fixing both ends of the inner tube 2. Of the six inner tube insertion holes 7a to 7f, the insertion holes 7a and 7b that are adjacent to each other are communicating holes 8 with -L lower surfaces open, and the other adjacent insertion holes 7d and 7c
are connected to each other by a communication groove 9 that is open only on the lower surface. The reason for providing the communication hole 8 is to make the space formed by the outer tube 1 and the stem 4 and the discharge space of each of the inner tubes 2 common. Reference numeral 10 denotes a spacer fixing encapsulating wire insertion groove for fixing the spacer 3 on the stem 4. stem 4
4 wooden lead wires 11 and 4 wooden spacer fixing enclosed wires 12 are enclosed, and an electrode 13 is attached to the tip of the lead wire 11. Note that 14 is an exhaust pipe.

Next, let's talk about assembly. First, both open ends of each inner tube 2 are fitted into the counterbore portions 6 of the inner tube insertion holes 7a and 7f, and then attached to the spacer 3 using an adhesive such as a heat-curable heat-resistant inorganic adhesive or glass frit. Fix airtightly. This airtight fixation does not necessarily require airtightness as long as the gap created between the outer wall of the inner tube 2 and the counterbore 6 of the spacer 3 is made small. Next, the spacer 3 integrated with the inner tube 2 in this way is attached to the stem 4, and both electrodes 13, 13 and the spacer fixing encapsulated wire 12 provided on the stem 4 are attached to the stem 4.

In this case, the inner surface of the outer tube 1 becomes cloudy in a relatively short period of time, resulting in a decrease in transmittance, which has the disadvantage that the luminous flux decreases in a short period of time. In other words, the temporal change in luminous flux when IRW input is applied shows that the luminous flux rapidly decreases in the following manner.

Considering the mechanism of the cloudy phenomenon that occurs on the inner wall surface of the outer tube 1, when the outer tube glass in which the cloudiness occurred was observed, it became clear that particles in the form of substances were aggregated in the cloudy area. Further, when chemical analysis was performed, metallic mercury was detected from the cloudy part, and an increase in sodium (Na) component was observed. Therefore, the mechanism of cloudiness is considered as follows. That is, among the ultraviolet rays generated by the discharge within the tube, near ultraviolet rays pass through the soda glass forming the inner tube 2 and reach the non-discharge space formed by the outer tube 1 and the inner tube 2. This near ultraviolet light causes Na to be liberated from the inner wall of the outer tube and the outer wall of the inner tube.
