Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer elektrischen Glühlampe gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method for producing an electrical Incandescent lamp according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine derartige Glühlampe ist beispielsweise in der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE 31 41 330 offenbart. Die in dieser Druckschrift beschriebene Glühlampe besitzt eine Glühwendel aus Wolfram, deren einfach gewendelte Enden mit jeweils einer, vorzugsweise aus Molybdän bestehenden Stromzuführung hartverlötet sind. Zur Herstellung der Hartlötverbindung werden die Stromzuführungen an ihren Enden mittels einer Lötelektrode geschmolzen, so daß die Schmelze zwischen die Windungen der einfach gewendelten Glühwendelenden läuft. Nach dem Erstarren der Schmelze sind die Glühwendel und die Stromzuführungen zuverlässig miteinander verbunden. Nachteilig wirkt sich hier allerdings aus, daß die mit den Stromzuführungen verschweißten Glühwendelenden gewendelt sind, da das Verlöten der gewendelten Glühwendelenden mit den Enden der Stromzuführungen zu einer unerwünschten Torsion der Glühwendel und damit zu Ungenauigkeiten bei der Positionierung der Glühwendel im Lampenkolben führen kann.Such an incandescent lamp is, for example, in the German published application DE 31 41 330 discloses. The one described in this document Incandescent lamp has a tungsten filament, the single coiled Ends each with a power supply, preferably made of molybdenum are brazed. To make the braze joint the ends of the leads were melted using a soldering electrode, so that the melt between the turns of the simply coiled Filament ends running. After the melt solidifies, the incandescent filaments are and the power supplies reliably connected. The disadvantage here, however, is that the power supply welded filament ends are coiled because the soldering of the coiled Filament ends with the ends of the power leads to one unwanted torsion of the filament and thus inaccuracies when positioning the filament in the lamp bulb.

Die Patentschrift US 2,247,268 beschreibt eine elektrische Glühlampe mit einem Paar von Stromzuführungen und einer Glühwendel, die ungewendelte Enden besitzt. Die ungewendelten Glühwendelenden sind jeweils mit einer Stromzuführung verschweißt und derart angeordnet, daß sie die betreffende Stromzuführung teilweise umschlingen. Der die Stromzuführung teilweise umschlingende Teil eines Glühwendelendes ist dabei zwischen dem jeweiligen Schweißpunkt und dem lichtemittierenden, gewendelten Teil der Glühwendel angeordnet.The patent US 2,247,268 describes an electric light bulb with a Pair of power supplies and a filament that is uncoiled Has ends. The uncoiled filament ends are each with a Power supply welded and arranged so that it is the relevant Partially loop the power supply. Part of the power supply looping part of a filament end is between the respective Spot and the light-emitting, coiled part of the filament arranged.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Herstellungsverfahren für eine Glühlampe mit einer verbesserten Glühwendelhalterung bereitzustellen.It is the object of the invention to provide a manufacturing method for an incandescent lamp to provide with an improved filament holder.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben. This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1 solved. Particularly advantageous versions of the Invention are described in the subclaims.

Die erfindungsgemäßen elektrischen Glühlampen besitzen Glühwendeln aus Wolfram mit ungewendelten Enden, die jeweils mit dem aufgeschmolzenen und wiedererstarrten Ende einer Stromzuführung verschweißt oder verlötet sind. Die Stromzuführungen bestehen aus einem Metall, das eine tiefere Schmelztemperatur als das Wolfram der Glühwendel aufweist. Dadurch wird gewährleistet, daß beim Verschweißen bzw. Verlöten von Glühwendelende und Stromzuführung nur das Metall der Stromzuführung schmilzt. Das Wolfram der Glühwendel hingegen schmilzt nicht und rekristallisiert auch nicht während des Schweiß- bzw. Lötvorganges. Da die mit den Stromzuführungen verschweißten oder verlöteten Enden der Glühwendel ungewendelt sind, kann durch den Schweiß- oder Lötvorgang keine Torsion der Glühwendel hervorgerufen werden, der zu Ungenauigkeiten bei der Positionierung der Glühwendel im Lampenkolben führen könnte. Die Stromzuführungen für die Glühwendel bestehen vorzugsweise aus Molybdän, das besonders gut für die Verwendung in aus Quarzglas bzw. für die Einschmelzung in aus Hartglas gefertigten Lampenkolben geeignet ist.The electric light bulbs according to the invention have filaments Tungsten with uncoiled ends, each with the melted one and re-solidified end of a power lead welded or soldered are. The power leads are made of a metal that is a deeper Melting temperature than the tungsten of the filament. Thereby it is ensured that when welding or soldering the filament end and power supply only melts the metal of the power supply. The tungsten of the filament, however, does not melt and recrystallize not even during the welding or soldering process. Since the one with the Power leads welded or soldered ends of the filament are not coiled, torsion cannot occur due to the welding or soldering process the incandescent filament are caused, leading to inaccuracies in the Positioning the filament in the lamp bulb could result. The Power supplies for the filament are preferably made of molybdenum, the particularly good for use in quartz glass or for the Melting in lamp bulbs made of tempered glass is suitable.

Zur Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Glühlampe werden die vorteihafterweise hakenförmig gebogenen Enden der Stromzuführungen vorzugsweise mittels eines LASER's unter Schutzgasatmosphäre kurzzeitig lokal erhitzt und geschmolzen. Dabei fließt die Schmelze um die ungewendelten Glühwendelenden und erstarrt. Nach dem Erstarren der Schmelze sind die Glühwendelenden vollständig in dem Metall der Stromzuführungen eingebettet und die Schweiß- bzw. Lötstellen zwischen der Glühwendel und den Stromzuführungen besitzen keinen nennenswerten elektrischen Übergangswiderstand. Diese Art der Wendelhalterung eignet sich besonders gut für kleinwattige Niedervolt-Glühlampen, insbesondere auch für kleinwattige Niedervolt-Halogenglühlampen.To produce the incandescent lamp according to the invention, it is advantageous hook-shaped bent ends of the power leads preferably briefly locally using a LASER in a protective gas atmosphere heated and melted. The melt flows around the uncoiled Filament ends and froze. After the melt solidifies, they are Filament ends completely embedded in the metal of the power leads and the welding or soldering points between the filament and the Power supplies have no significant electrical contact resistance. This type of helix holder is particularly suitable for low-wattage low-voltage incandescent lamps, especially also for low-wattage ones Low-voltage halogen light bulbs.
