Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the discharge between lead wires and reduce the light shielding effect of the lead wire by arranging a luminous tube in a transparent outer tube sloping to the said outer tube. CONSTITUTION:A luminous tube 2 is enclosed in a transparent outer tube 1, and the central axis [a] of the luminous tube 2 is tilted by about 45 degrees to the central axis [b] of the transparent outer tube 1. The electrodes 3a, 3b on both ends of the luminous tube 2 are connected to the lead wires 4a, 4b introduced from the button stem 6 of the said outer tube 1 respectively. Thereby the distance between the lead wires 4a, 4b in the outer tube 1 can be widened so as that the discharge between the lead wires 4a, 4b cannot be generated even when a high voltage pulse is applied between them, and the lamp can reliably restart immediately after the switching off. And as the distance between the luminous tube 2 and the lead wire 4b is also widened necessarily, so the light shielding effect by the lead wire 4b can be reduced.

A high voltage of about 0 KV is applied. For this reason, the structure of a discharge lamp is, for example, as shown in FIG.
While creating a high vacuum inside, the lead wires 4a and 4b connected to the electrodes i3a and 3b of the arc tube 2 are drawn out to the electrodes i3 and 3b of the outer tube 1, respectively, to improve the insulation between the electrodes 3a and 3b, and to increase the # voltage.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The structure of the conventional small metal vapor discharge lamp as described above has the problem that the lamp size is long and large, and the musical instrument to which it is attached is also large. Furthermore, the outer tube must be made of an expensive material such as quartz, which is disadvantageous in terms of cost.

A small metal vapor discharge lamp as shown in FIG. 2 was also known as a lamp designed to accommodate an increase in lamp size. That is, the leads 194 a connected to the electrodes 3 a and 3 b of the arc tube 2 ,
4b is drawn out only to one end of the outer tube 1. Although this structure allows the total length of the outer tube 1 to be shortened, if a high voltage is applied to the electrodes 3a and 3b through the lead wires 4a and 4b, a discharge may occur between points A and B in the figure.
Not only could the lamp not be started, but the lamp could even be damaged. In order to prevent electrical discharge between points A and B, there is a technique of covering the lead wire 4b with an insulating tube 5 made of a glass tube or a ceramic tube, but the insulating tube 5 may vibrate and cause abnormal noise. This was undesirable because it blocked the light emitted from the arc tube 2 and emitted from the arc tube 2.

(Function) The small metal vapor discharge lamp of the present invention has a structure in which the arc tube is inclined inside the translucent outer tube, so the length of the translucent outer tube can be shortened accordingly, contributing to miniaturization. . In addition, since the distance between the lead wires connected to the main t8i at both ends of the arc tube is widened, the voltage performance is improved, making it possible to apply high voltage, and the distance from the light emitting part of the arc tube is also increased. It is also possible to reduce light shielding due to lead wires.

A luminous tube 2 is housed inside the translucent outer tube 1, and the central axis a of the luminous tube 2 is approximately 4 mm from the central axis of the translucent outer tube 1.
The arc tube 2, which is tilted at 5 degrees, contains mercury (Hg) and argon (Ar), as well as predetermined amounts of diprosium iodide (DYI3) and thallium iodide (T-Rikko) in a quartz glass tube. and a metal halide-containing arc tube with a rating of 40W containing cesium iodide (CsI), and the terminals i3a and 3b at both ends are respectively connected to lead wires 4a and 4b introduced from the button stem b of the translucent outer tube l. 6

According to the above embodiment, it is possible to widen the distance between the lead wires 4a and 4b in the light-transmitting outer tube 1, and there is no risk of discharge in the lead wires even when a high voltage pulse is applied, and after the light is turned off, , it is possible to reliably restart immediately. In addition, since the distance between the arc tube 2 and the lead 114b inevitably increases,
The degree of light shielding caused by the lead wire 4b is also reduced, and thick lead wires can also be used.

It is considered appropriate that the angle between the central axis a of the light-transmitting outer tube 1 and the center fthb of the arc tube 2 is between 15 degrees and 60 degrees. 1
If the angle is smaller than 5 degrees, the effect of reducing the length of the light-transmitting outer tube 1 will be small and the distance between the lead wires 4a and 4b will become close, making it similar to the conventional type (FIG. 2). Furthermore, if the angle is greater than 60 degrees, the diameter of the light-transmitting outer tube 1 must be increased accordingly, and the effect of miniaturization will be reduced.

Next, we investigated the relationship between the attitude of the arc tube 2 and the brightness when lighting the small metal vapor waste lamp of the above example with direct current, and the following results were obtained. That is, when the arc tube 2 is vertical and the upper electrode is a negative pole, 2
A brightness of 200 lumens (at 40 W) was obtained, whereas the brightness was 1650 lumens when the upper electrode was set as the positive pole. Also, when the arc tube 2 is horizontal, 1700
It was lumen. In addition, if the light is turned on by AC, 210

This is because when lighting with direct current, the main metal cations of the luminescent substance among the metal halides added inside the arc tube 2 are attracted to the vicinity of the negative electrode.For example, if the upper electrode is the negative electrode, This is thought to be due to the fact that dysprosium iodide and cesium iodide, which have lower vapor pressures, emit light to the upper part of the arc tube than in the case of alternating current. On the other hand, if the upper electrode is made a positive electrode, the additives will collect in the lower part of the arc tube where the temperature is low, and the light emitting characteristics will be significantly deteriorated.

Therefore, when lighting the compact total bending vapor discharge lamp of the present invention with direct current, the maximum light emission can be achieved by setting the arc tube in a vertical lighting position and setting the upper TL pole of the arc tube as a negative pole. It can be said that the characteristics can be obtained.
