Definitions

  • the invention relates to a high-pressure discharge lamp according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Such a high-pressure discharge lamp is disclosed, for example, in EP-A 0 858 098.
  • This document describes a metal halide high-pressure discharge lamp for a motor vehicle headlight with a quartz glass discharge vessel having two ends provided with a molybdenum foil seal, and two electrodes each connected to one of the molybdenum foil seals and projecting into the interior of the discharge vessel.
  • a section of the respective electrode, which is arranged outside the molybdenum foil seal in the region of the molybdenum foil sealing end, is surrounded by a helix in order to avoid cracks in the quartz glass of the discharge vessel.
  • the pitch of the helix is less than 600 percent and preferably even less than 300 percent.
  • the inner diameter of the helix is at least as large as the electrode diameter and smaller than 1, 5 times the electrode diameter.
  • the disadvantage here is that due to the helix between the quartz glass and the electrode cavities may arise, can penetrate into the filling substances from the discharge space. This may damage the molybdenum foil seal.
  • DE 198 12 298 discloses a metal halide high-pressure discharge lamp for a motor vehicle headlight with a discharge vessel made of quartz glass, which has two ends provided with a molybdenum foil seal, and two electrodes which are each connected to one of the molybdenum foil seals and into the interior of the discharge vessel protrude.
  • the electrodes are each surrounded by a helix, wherein the helix in the front, the discharge region facing the housing has a narrow winding density and is arranged at a distance from the electrode and in the rear, the molybdenum foil seal facing region has a lighter winding density and fits tightly against the electrode.
  • the disadvantage here is the complex production process for the power supply.
  • the high-pressure charge lamp according to the invention has a quartz glass discharge vessel having at least one end provided with a molybdenum foil seal, and at least one electrode connected to the molybdenum foil seal and protruding into the interior of the discharge vessel, wherein a helix having a pitch of greater than or equal to 600 percent is provided, which surrounds a portion of the electrode which is located in the region of the molybdenum foil seal provided end of the lamp vessel, outside of the molybdenum foil seal.
  • the softened quartz glass can penetrate between adjacent turns of the coil and wet the surface of the electrode. Because of its relatively large pitch, the helix also has a low heat capacity, so that the quartz glass cools more slowly when flowing around the helix and thus a good seal is achieved.
  • the wire diameter or the wire thickness of the helical wire is advantageously less than 100 micrometers in order not to significantly increase the diameter of the power supply in the region of the electrode section surrounded by the helix.
  • the wire diameter of the helical wire is tuned to the electrode diameter in the range of 0.25 millimeters to 0.4 millimeters, and preferably 0.30 millimeters to 0.35 millimeters, as commonly used in mercury-free metal halide high pressure discharge lamps Motor vehicle headlights are used.
  • the electrodes of this lamp type are designed as pin electrodes.
  • the first and last turn of the helix are wound more tightly than the intermediate helix section. It has been found that thereby the desired effect of the helix is not affected.
  • the invention is particularly well suited for high pressure discharge lamps having a comparatively small discharge vessel volume of at most 30 mm J , the ionizable filling of which contains metal halides and xenon and the relatively thick electrodes having a diameter in the range of 0.25 mm to 0.4 mm, such as the above-mentioned, mercury-free metal halide high-pressure discharge lamps for motor vehicle headlights.
  • FIG. 1 An electrode for a high-pressure discharge lamp according to the preferred embodiment of the invention with disposed on the electrode coil
  • FIG. 2 An electrode for a high-pressure discharge lamp according to the second embodiment of the invention with arranged on the electrode
  • FIG. 3 A sealed end of the discharge vessel of a high-pressure discharge lamp according to the preferred embodiment of the invention with the electrode shown in Figure 1
  • FIG. 3 shows a sealed by a Molybdänfolienabdichtung end 1 1 of a two-sided sealed discharge vessel 1 of a high pressure discharge lamp for a motor vehicle headlamp according to the preferred embodiment of the invention, including the power supply, which is passed through the closed end 1 1 of the discharge vessel 1.
  • the lamp is in particular a mercury-free metal halide high-pressure discharge lamp with an electrical power consumption of 35 watts.
  • an ionizable filling is arranged, which consists of xenon and the halides of the metals sodium, scandium, zinc and indium.
  • the volume of the discharge vessel is 0.24 mm 3 .
  • the power supply has a gas-tight embedded in the closed end of the discharge vessel 1 1 1 molybdenum foil 2.
  • the molybdenum foil 2 has a length of 6.5 mm, a width of 2 mm and a thickness of 25 ⁇ m.
  • the remote from the interior 10 of the discharge vessel 1 end of the molybdenum foil 2 is welded to a molybdenum wire 3, which protrudes from the sealed end 11 of the discharge vessel 1.
  • the interior 10 of the discharge vessel 1 facing the end of the molybdenum foil 2 is provided with a rod-shaped. made of tungsten electrode 4 welded, which projects into the discharge space 10.
  • the length of the electrode 4 is 7.5 mm and its thickness or its diameter is 0.30 mm.
  • the overlap between the electrode 4 and the molybdenum foil 2 is 1.30 mm ⁇ 0.15 mm.
  • a coil 5 is arranged centrally, so that their distance from the two ends of the electrode 4 is 2.25 mm in each case.
  • the inner diameter of the coil 5 corresponds to the diameter or the thickness of the electrode 4.
  • the coil 5 extends according to the preferred Alis exitsbeispiels invention, as shown schematically in Figure 1, only over the arranged in the closed end of the discharge vessel 1 1 section Electrode 4, which does not overlap with the molybdenum foil 2.
  • the distance of the helix 5 to the molybdenum foil 2 is 0.95 mm. However, the helix 5 can also protrude into the discharge space 10. This does not affect their effect.
  • the other, not shown closed end of the discharge vessel 1 is identical to the end of 1 1 formed. In particular, it also has an electrode as shown in Figures 1 and 3, respectively. The distance of the protruding into the interior 10 of the discharge vessel 1 ends of the two electrodes is 4.2 mm. The two electrodes are opposite each other, arranged in the longitudinal axis of the discharge vessel 1.
  • FIG. 2 schematically shows the electrode 4 and the coil 5 'according to the second exemplary embodiment of the invention.
  • This embodiment differs from the first, preferred embodiment only by the helix 5 '.
  • the coil 5 'and the first and last turn at a distance of 340 microns are arranged to their respective adjacent turn, so that the coil 5' has a continuous gradient of 667 percent.
  • the spirals 5 and 5 'agree are arranged to their respective adjacent turn, so that the coil 5' has a continuous gradient of 667 percent.
  • the high-pressure discharge lamp according to the preferred embodiment further has an outer bulb, which encloses the discharge vessel 1 in the region of the discharge space 10, and a lamp base.
  • the inner diameter of the helix 5 or 5 1 can also be greater than the diameter of the electrode 4. Good results are also achieved with a helix 5 whose inside diameter is 0.33 mm and which is arranged on an electrode 4 with a diameter of 0.30 mm and in the remaining dimensions with the helix 5 of the first embodiment is identical.
