Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the steam pressure of the halogenide in a light emitting tube and improve the stability of the life performance characteristic and color rendering property by specifying the structure shape of a spiral electrode, and specifying the distance between the inner wall of the light emitting tube and the spiral electrode. CONSTITUTION:A pair of electrodes 1, 2 are sealed at both ends of a light emitting tube 3, and a halogenide is sealed in the tube 3. Each of the electrodes 1, 2 is constituted of a spiral portion 1a and a linear portion 1b connected to it. The linear portion 1b is arranged on the center axis of the light emitting tube 3. The axis of the linear portion 1b and the center axis of the spiral potion 1a are displaced from each other. The distance between the outside of the spiral portion 1a and the inner wall of the light emitting tube 3 is short on one side and long on the opposite side. The temperature of the halogenide is increased on the near side, the steam pressure is increased, the distance between the maximum temperature section of the light emitting tube 3 and an arc column is increased, and the desired result is realized.

Conventional technology Conventionally, the electrodes of metal halide lamps filled with tin 10genide as a type of halide were as shown in Fig. 3 (A), (
As shown in B), a spiral portion 10a consisting of a single line
and a straight line portion 10b connected thereto, and the center axis of this straight line portion coincides with the center axis of the spiral portion 10a. In the case of a double-capped metal halide lamp, a pair of electrodes having the above structure are sealed to both ends of an arc tube, and this arc tube is provided in an outer bulb with caps attached to both ends.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Conventionally, in order to increase the temperature of the coldest part of the inner wall of the arc tube, the internal volume of the arc tube was reduced and the load on the tube wall was increased. As the distance between the electrode and the arc column becomes shorter, the temperature at the hottest part of the wall of the arc tube becomes extremely high (which causes the arc tube to expand and break, as well as the generation of impurities from the arc tube material, causing the lamp to deteriorate). There was a problem in that it had an adverse effect on the travel characteristics.

Means for Solving the Problems The metal halide lamp of the present invention has a pair of electrodes consisting of a spiral part at both ends and a straight part connected to the rear end of the spiral part, and has a metal halide lamp sealed inside. A tube, the linear portion of the electrode has a central axis located off the central axis of the spiral portion of the electrode, and is sealed to a sealing portion on the central axis of the arc tube. It is.

Effect: With this configuration, when the lamp is lit horizontally, the spiral portion of the electrode can be arranged to be biased downward with respect to the central axis of the arc tube. In the past, the distance between the halide located at the lower part of the arc tube and the electrode and arc column became shorter, increasing the temperature of the halide and increasing the vapor pressure of the halide in the arc tube. I can do things. In addition, the distance between the upper part of the arc tube, which is the highest temperature part, and the electrode and arc column is increased, and the temperature at the maximum 4 degrees can be lowered. The generation of impurities can be suppressed.
