Production method for discharge lamps
The present invention relates to a method for producing a discharge lamp using a two-stage filling process.
1. A method for producing a discharge lamp, having the steps:
assembling an open discharge vessel ( 2 , 3 , 16 ) of the discharge lamp and filling it with a first gas in an environment ( 1 ) of the first gas,
adding a second gas to the first gas in the assembled discharge vessel ( 3 ), using a supply volume ( 12 , 15 ) separate from the environment of the discharge vessel ( 3 ) and wherein the assembly and filing of the discharge vessel ( 2 , 3 , 16 ) with the first gas are carried out in a continuous furnace ( 1 )
characterized in that a spectral analysis of the first gas in the discharge vessel ( 3 , 16 ) is carried out after closing the discharge vessel ( 3 , 16 ) and before introducing the second gas.
2. A method for producing a discharge lamp, having the steps:
assembling an open discharge vessel ( 2 , 3 , 16 ) of the discharge lamp and filling it with a first gas in an environment ( 1 ) of the first gas,
adding a second gas to the first gas in the assembled discharge vessel ( 3 ), using a supply volume ( 12 , 15 ) separate from the environment of the discharge vessel ( 3 ) and wherein the assembly and filing of the discharge vessel ( 2 , 3 , 16 ) with the first gas are carried out in a continuous furnace ( 1 )
characterized in that the second gas is introduced into the discharge vessel ( 16 ) through a filling spout.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2 , characterized in that the first gas flows around the discharge vessel ( 2 , 3 ).
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2 , characterized in that the discharge vessel ( 2 , 3 ) is fully closed after filling with the first gas and contains an ampoule ( 12 ) of the second gas, the ampoule ( 12 ) subsequently being opened.
5. The method as claimed in claim 4 , characterized in that the ampoule ( 12 ) is opened by electromagnetic waves.
6. The method as claimed in claim 4 , characterized in that the ampoule ( 12 ) is held on the edge of the discharge vessel ( 2 , 3 ).
7. The method as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2 , characterized in that the discharge lamp is a flat radiator.
