Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a halogen lamp having long life, by filling in the glass bulb a gas including an inert gas and diborane during the evacuation process so that the oxide produced may be reduced by the diborane. CONSTITUTION:As the gas to be filled in the glass bulb during the evacuation process, an inert gas of nitrogen, argon, or mixture of them with a small amount of diborane added is used. The diborane, when the filament in the glass bulb is heated for illuminating, easily resolves into BH and hydrogen by the produced heat. The bond between the boron and the hydrogen in the compound, BH, breaks since the affinity of boron with oxygen is stronger, thus the boron becoming boron oxide thereby reducing tungsten oxide taking the oxygen from the tungsten. If the filled amount of the diborane in the inert gas is less than 0.1% by volume, the oxide in the glass valve cannot fully be removed, and if the same is more than 2.5% by volume, it produces such troubles as filament sag.

Conventionally, in general, during the exhaust process, an inert gas containing a few percent of hydrogen was sealed inside the glass tube, the glass tube was heated from the outside with a burner, etc., and a filament was lit, and the heat was used to remove the metal inside the glass tube. A method was used to reduce the material. However, since such a method cannot sufficiently reduce the metal material inside the glass tube, oxygen remains inside the glass tube, causing a short life.

In a halogen light bulb having such a configuration, a filament support wire 6 and internal lead-in wires 4 and 5 are attached to a glass rod-shaped body 7.
When embedding by heating processing, the filament support wire 6,
Internal lead-in wires 4 and 6 are often oxidized. The oxidation can be removed by chemical polishing or electrolytic polishing, but it is difficult to completely remove it. When a halogen bulb is completed by sealing, exhausting, and filling in a small amount of halogen compound along with an inert gas as a filler gas, this halogen bulb may cause early blackening or
It may have a short lifespan.

In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to remove the oxygen remaining inside the glass tube to the outside of the glass tube.

As mentioned above, in general, during the evacuation process, the glass tube is filled with an inert gas containing several percent hydrogen, the glass tube is heated from the outside with a burner, etc., and a filament is lit. Methods have been used to reduce the materials, but in order to reduce the oxidized metal materials in the glass tube with hydrogen, it is necessary to bring the metal materials to a temperature of 1000° C. or higher. However, in reality, 1,000 metal materials other than filaments are used.
It is difficult to heat above ℃.

When heated, methylene bromide decomposes into carbon and hydrogen bromide. At higher temperatures, hydrogen bromide decomposes into hydrogen and bromine. When this bromine combines with tungsten oxide, it becomes tungsten oxybromide. Tungsten oxybromide has a low evaporation temperature and is easily evaporated by heat from the filament and heat from a burner, etc. from outside the glass tube, so it is thought that it is possible to exhaust it outside the glass tube during the exhaust process. Ta. However, when we actually investigated the prototype, we found that it did not work as expected. It was discovered that the cause of this was that the hydrogen bromide formed by decomposition of methylene bromide was hardly decomposed, and therefore not enough bromine was obtained to evaporate the tungsten oxide.

When the amount of methylene bromide in the filler gas was increased to increase the amount of bromine, progress was made in the desired direction for evaporating tungsten oxide, but the carbon released when methylene bromide decomposed was It adhered to the filament, embrittled the filament, and caused blackening of the tube wall, making it impossible to put it to practical use.

In the case of hydrogen bromide, it is not possible to reduce tungsten oxide because the bond between bromine and hydrogen is strong, but a compound of boromine and hydrogen (BH) has a strong affinity for boromine and oxygen, so it cannot reduce hydrogen. The bond with tungsten is broken, and tungsten oxide is converted to boron oxide by removing oxygen from tungsten, so tungsten oxide can be reduced.

However, if the volume is more than 2.5, the amount of boron diffused into the tungsten filament becomes too large, causing problems such as filament sag, which is undesirable.
