本発明は外管の破損を防止したメタルハライドランプに
関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a metal halide lamp whose outer bulb is prevented from being damaged.

ている。近年では、低ワット化、コンパクト化が進み、

る。Conventional technology Metal halide lamps are characterized by high efficiency and high color rendering properties due to the light emitted from the metal sealed inside the arc tube, and are attracting attention as lamps that can replace the mercury lamps that have been widely used in the past. In recent years, lower wattage and compactness have progressed,
It is also increasingly being used for indoor lighting such as store lighting.

品等に損傷を与えることがある。Problems to be Solved by the Invention In general, the lower the wattage and the smaller the metal halide lamp, the higher the pressure inside the arc tube during lighting. That is, in a metal halide lamp of 100 W or less used for indoor lighting, the pressure inside the arc tube during lighting is as high as 10 atmospheres or more. Further, when the lamp is lit for a long time and the inner surface of the arc tube becomes black due to sputtering of the electrodes, the lamp voltage increases, and as a result, the lamp power also increases and the pressure inside the arc tube increases. Furthermore, during lighting of the lamp, the metal sealed in the arc tube reacts with quartz, which is a constituent material of the arc tube, thereby reducing the withstand pressure of the arc tube. Although extremely rare, due to these causes, the arc tube may break, and the outer tube may break and scatter due to fragments, causing damage to surrounding products.

、外管破損を防止することはできなかった。Conventionally, as a means for preventing such damage to the outer bulb, a method is known in which a fluororesin is applied to the outer surface of the lamp outer bulb, as shown in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-128163. However, the usable outer tube temperature of fluororesin is limited, and in compact outer tube-shaped lamps suitable for indoor lighting, the outer tube temperature exceeds the upper limit of the usable temperature of fluororesin, so its use is prohibited. It was difficult. FIG. 4 shows an example of a conventionally used compact straight tube-shaped 70W metal halide lamp. Fourth
In the figure, 1 is a quartz arc tube with an inner diameter of 9 m, and 2 is a hard glass outer tube with an outer diameter of 30 m. Compact lamps with a straight tube shape like this make it possible to downsize lighting equipment.
It is particularly desired as a lamp for indoor lighting, but the temperature of the outer bulb reaches 350° C. when lit. For this reason, when a fluororesin is applied to the surface of the outer tube, the resin deteriorates due to high temperatures, making it impossible to prevent damage to the outer tube.

。In addition, as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 49-12988, there is a method of surrounding the arc tube with a coiled metal wire, and as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 50-17798, there is a method of surrounding the arc tube with a coiled metal wire. A method is also known in which a glass tube is provided in the tube.

ことがあり、外管の破損を完全に防止することはできな
かった。However, in the case of a metal halide lamp, if there is a metal to which a potential is applied around the arc tube, a phenomenon occurs in which the sodium filler disappears out of the arc tube during lighting. This is because photoelectrons are emitted from the metal due to the ultraviolet rays emitted from the arc tube, and these photoelectrons negatively charge the outer surface of the arc tube, causing sodium ions inside the arc tube to disappear outside the arc tube. Therefore, in order to provide a coiled metal wire around the arc tube, it is necessary to create a complex structure that prevents the application of a potential to the metal wire.
There was a manufacturing problem. In addition, with the method of installing a glass tube around the arc tube, the arc tube is damaged and the glass tube is also damaged due to the impact, and the outer tube may also be damaged by the fragments of the glass tube. It could not be prevented.
課題を解決するための手段
この問題を解決するために本発明は、発光管を囲繞する
ガラス筒を設け、このガラス筒の表面に紫外線反射特性

状またはコイル状の金属線を付設したものである。Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a glass tube surrounding the arc tube, has a multilayer interference film with ultraviolet reflecting properties on the surface of the glass tube, and A mesh or coiled metal wire is attached to the outer peripheral surface.
作用
網状またはコイル状の金属線により、発光管破損時の破
片は外管に衝突せず、このため外管の破損を防止するこ
とができる。Due to the working mesh or coiled metal wire, fragments of the arc tube will not collide with the outer tube when the arc tube breaks, thereby preventing damage to the outer tube.

電子による発光管外へのナトリウム消失も発生しない。In addition, the glass tube surrounding the arc tube has a multilayer interference film that reflects ultraviolet light, which reflects the ultraviolet rays emitted from the arc tube and prevents the metal wires from being exposed to the ultraviolet rays. No sodium loss occurs either.

Na11.1mg。Embodiment FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a 70W metal halide lamp according to an embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 1, reference numeral 1 is a quartz glass arc tube with an inner diameter of 9 m, and inside it, in addition to 200 Torr of argon and 13 mm of mercury as starting gases,

30.7mg+HO130.7mg of metal halide is enclosed. 2 is an outer tube made of hard glass, 3 is a getter, and 4 is a quartz glass tube, the outer surface of which is coated with TiO25.
A multilayer interference film 7 of i02 is provided. 5 is a mesh-like metal wire made of, for example, iron wire, and 6 is a base.
金属線5の材質である鉄の仕事関数は4.8eVである

リウム消失は発生しない。Since the work function of iron, which is the material of the metal wire 5, is 4.8 eV, the limit wavelength of light at which photoelectrons can be emitted from the metal wire 5 is 260 nm. FIG. 2 shows the transmittance characteristics of the glass tube 4 coated with the multilayer interference film 7. As can be seen from FIG. 2, light with a wavelength of 280 nm or less is almost completely reflected by the action of the multilayer interference film 7, so that the metal wire 5 is not irradiated with light with a wavelength shorter than the limit wavelength at which photoelectrons can be emitted. , no sodium loss occurs.

できた。In a life test of this lamp, it showed good characteristics, with a luminous flux maintenance rate of 80% and a lamp voltage increase of 5 V after 6000 hours of lighting. After lighting this lamp for 6,000 hours, we tried to damage the arc tube by applying excessive power, and found that the fragments of the arc tube and glass tube were prevented from reaching the outer tube by the mesh-like metal wire. damage could be completely prevented.

101III!1が適当であった。Note that if the distance between the meshes of the mesh metal wire is too narrow, the total luminous flux of the lamp will decrease, while if the distance between the meshes is too wide, debris from the arc tube will pass through, preventing damage to the outer tube. Can not do it. According to experiments, the mesh spacing is 2~
101III! 1 was appropriate.

外管破損を防止できることはいうまでもない。In the above embodiment, an example was explained in which a metal wire made of iron was used, but the same effect can be obtained with a material made of other materials as long as the reflection wavelength of the multilayer interference film is appropriately set. Further, it goes without saying that even if the metal wire is in a coil shape as shown in FIG. 3, damage to the outer tube can be similarly prevented.
さらに、上記実施例では、ガラス筒の外表面に多層干渉
膜を塗布した場合について説明したが、ガラス筒の内表

効果が得られる。Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the case where the multilayer interference film was applied to the outer surface of the glass cylinder was explained, but the same effect can be obtained by applying it to the inner surface of the glass cylinder, or both the inner and outer surfaces. .

By having a multilayer interference film and having a mesh-like or coil-like metal wire attached to the outer peripheral surface, it is possible to prevent damage to the outer tube without causing loss of sodium helium.
