摘要:
The present invention provides a high pressure discharge lamp with a start-up assist member, a lamp unit, and a lamp system that reduce breakdown voltage and provide high design flexibility by reducing restriction on a position of an adjacent conductor. In a high pressure discharge lamp (10) of a lamp unit (1), a dielectric member (20) is on the outer surface of a first sealing part (101a). The dielectric member (20) made of a titanium compound has relative permittivity higher than that of fused quartz. An upstream end of a metal wire (21) is connected to an external lead wire (102b) projecting from a second sealing part (101b). A downstream end (21A) is in contact with the dielectric member (20). Upon lighting of the lamp, a corona discharge occurs at the point where the end (21a) is in contact with the dielectric member (20) so that breakdown voltage is reduced.

From a start of a lighting until a predetermined time period passes, a high-pressure discharge lamp is supplied with a constant current (Ib) until the lamp power reaches a predetermined wattage (Plow). When the lamp power reaches the wattage (Plow), current is supplied to maintain the lamp power at the wattage (Plow). After another predetermined time period passes, current is supplied to maintain the lamp power at a rated lamp wattage (Pr). While this lamp power is being maintained, the size of the lamp current is limited to a current limit (Ia). The current (Ib) and the wattage (Plow) satisfy a relationship Ia·0.7≦Ib≦Ia·0.9 and Pr·0.5 Plow≦Pr·0.9 to accelerate an initial building of luminous flux while reducing drainage to the electrodes.

In a high-pressure discharge lamp that includes a bulb formed from a light emitting part having a discharge space therein and a pair of sealing parts connected to the light emitting part, and an electrode pair disposed within the discharge space, a section of a proximity conductor is wound substantially spirally around one of the sealing parts within a predetermined range from the light emitting part, while the remaining section of the proximity conductor crosses over the light emitting part and is electrically connected to the electrode nearer the other sealing part. By initiating a discharge after applying a high-frequency voltage of 1 kHz to 1 MHz to a high-pressure mercury lamp having this structure, the breakdown voltage can be suppressed to at least 8 kV.

After startup, a lighting method for a high-pressure discharge lamp is to light the lamp at a rated frequency without switching the frequency for 120 seconds (S12, S13), and thereafter to switch from the rated frequency to a more audible frequency in accordance with a change in voltage value (S21 to S23).

Provided is a method for lighting a high pressure discharge lamp capable of increasing the life thereof. The lighting method is as follows. When the time elapse after lighting up the discharge lamp is within a predetermined condition (e.g. 5 minutes or less), constant current control is performed if the lamp voltage is lower than switching voltage (here, a first voltage value V1) and constant power control is performed to maintain the lamp power at a power value W1 if the lamp voltage is equal to or above the switching voltage. After the predetermined condition (5 minutes) is exceeded, the constant power control is performed by lowering the value of the switching voltage from the first voltage value V1 to the second voltage value V2. If the lamp voltage is equal to or above the switching voltage lowered, the lamp power is maintained at power value W1.

摘要:
A high-pressure discharge lamp lighting device that suppresses deterioration and the expansion of inter-electrode distance in a pair of electrodes within a high-pressure discharge lamp, more effectively than conventional technology. The frequency of the AC current supplied to a high-pressure discharge lamp alternates between a first frequency and a second, higher frequency, while the magnitude of the AC current alternates between a first value and a second, higher value. The suppressing effect is realized by repeatedly alternating the frequency and repeatedly alternating between a first period at the first frequency and a second period at the second frequency, with the second, higher-magnitude current being used in the latter and the first current being used in the former.
摘要:
The high-pressure discharge lamp lighting device and a high-pressure discharge lamp apparatus using this of the present invention are able to suppress the excessive drop in the lamp voltage in a high-pressure discharge lamp.The frequency of the alternating current to be supplied to the high-pressure discharge lamp 4 is switched among a first frequency, a second frequency greater than the first frequency, and a third frequency smaller than or equal to the first frequency. In the switching, a time period A, in which the alternating current of the third frequency is supplied, occurs at beginning of each of predetermined time intervals. Further, a remainder of each of the predetermined time intervals includes a time period B, in which the alternating current of the first frequency is supplied, and a time period C, in which the alternating current of the second frequency, the time period B and the time period C being alternately repeated, so as to control the time period A to be longer than the time period B and to have a length corresponding to a predetermined number of cycles, ranging from 5.5 to 50 cycles inclusive.
摘要:
A first waveform (a rectangular waveform, for example) is applied as the waveform of the alternating current supplied to a high-pressure discharge lamp for a predetermined time from the beginning of lighting of the lamp and a second waveform (a staircase waveform, for example) is applied as the waveform of the alternating current after the elapse of a predetermined time (100 [s], for example). The alternating current with the first waveform has a lower absolute instantaneous value in a final section of each half-cycle period thereof than in the other sections and the alternating current with the second waveform has a higher absolute instantaneous value in a final section of each half-cycle period thereof than in the other sections.
