Discharge lamp and light source device Field of invention

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a discharge lamp, and more particularly to a discharge lamp having an IC tag that can hold information to prevent incorrect installation or breakage and to secure the location of the lamp.

Background of the invention

A short arc type discharge lamp is used as a light source of an exposure apparatus for patterning a semiconductor, a liquid crystal panel, or a printed wiring board. In addition, a short arc type discharge lamp in which a rare gas such as Xe gas, Kr gas or Ar gas is sealed at a normal temperature in the arc tube at a normal temperature is used. Further, in a metal vapor discharge lamp such as a rare gas type discharge lamp or a mercury discharge lamp which is used as a light source of a projector or a projector, a discharge lamp in which a rare gas of at least 1 atmosphere is sealed at a normal temperature in the arc tube may be used. Hereinafter, only the high-pressure gas enclosed in the discharge lamp is referred to as a discharge lamp or a discharge lamp.

When the discharge lamp is transported or the discharge lamp is mounted on the lighting device, the discharge lamp may be damaged if a large impact is applied to the discharge lamp. If the discharge lamp is broken, the impact of the release of the high-pressure gas is large, so it may endanger life. Even if the discharge lamp is not damaged, if it is slightly damaged or cracked by the impact, or if part of the device is peeled off and remains on the surface, it becomes a cause of the discharge lamp being broken in the lighting. In order to avoid the aforementioned problem, a condom is attached by a string to alleviate the impact when the discharge lamp is mounted in the operation of the lighting device. Also, in order to prevent forgetting The case of taking down the protective cover occurs, in which the impedance circuit or the capacitor circuit is placed on the protective cover, so that the lighting device can recognize the existence of the protective cover. In the following, several examples of conventional techniques related to this are given.

The "discharge lamp condom" disclosed in Patent Document 1 can alleviate the damage caused when a discharge lamp in which a high-pressure rare gas is sealed is broken. As shown in Fig. 18(a), the discharge lamp condom protects a discharge lamp that is sealed with a gas having a higher pressure and a higher pressure at a normal temperature, and is formed of a ventilating sheet, a ventilating cylinder, and a ventilating bag. Set. Further, the end of the sleeve is bundled on the outer side of the rod portion or the socket portion of the discharge lamp.

The "protective cover for a discharge lamp" disclosed in Patent Document 2 can be easily attached to a protective cover of a discharge lamp, and can be easily removed after the discharge lamp is attached to the lighting device. As shown in Fig. 18(b), a self-adhesive sheet is used for a protective cover for a discharge lamp covering at least the arc tube portion of the discharge lamp.

The "protective cover for a discharge lamp" disclosed in Patent Document 3 is capable of preventing a situation in which the protective cover for a discharge lamp that covers the discharge lamp is protected from being removed after the discharge lamp of the discharge lamp lighting device is completed. As shown in Fig. 18(c), the protective cover for the discharge lamp for covering the discharge lamp is provided with an impedance circuit or a capacitor circuit connecting the two terminals of the discharge lamp to the two lamp holder portions. As a result, after the installation of the discharge lamp of the discharge lamp lighting device is completed, when the protective cover for the discharge lamp is forgotten, even if the discharge lamp is to be turned on, the discharge lamp does not illuminate, thereby preventing forgetting to remove the protective cover. The situation happened.

The "ultra-high pressure mercury lamp" disclosed in Patent Document 4 is a case where the lamp is subjected to a predetermined excessive pressure or the like during the lamp exchange operation, or the lamp has In the case of a defect, the debris will still not scatter. The ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp is used as a light source in a semiconductor exposure apparatus or the like, and is sealed with a gas having an atmospheric pressure or higher. As shown in Fig. 18(d), it is double covered by a protective cover that can cover the bulb portion and a protective case for packaging when transported, before the ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp is fixed to the lighting device. Moreover, after the ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp is fixed to the lighting device, it is possible to easily confirm the presence or absence of the protective cover. If you do not remove the protective cover, you will not be able to light it.

The "inkjet printer" disclosed in Patent Document 5 is a semiconductor memory using a non-contact type or integrated circuit tag in which a password, a light source usage record, and a light source shipment information are recorded. It is directly installed in a light source or connector that can be irradiated with ultraviolet light, wiring, etc., and can prevent the use of a wrong type of light source, and can be managed by writing the lighting time by turning on the lighting time or the number of lighting-off times.

The "consumer exchange period management system" disclosed in Patent Document 6 is an IC tag that stores information such as ID (identification) information, seal opening status information, use start time information, and wattage of fluorescent lamps. For consumable wafers, the exchange period of consumables can be automatically managed.

The "protective cover for a discharge lamp" disclosed in Patent Document 7 prevents the installation of the discharge lamp from being mistaken and the situation in which the protective cover is forgotten to be removed. As shown in Fig. 18(e), even if the discharge lamp in which the high-pressure gas is sealed is broken during transportation, the surface of the discharge lamp is protected by the protective cover to reduce the damage. Moreover, the IC chip is placed on the protective cover to store information about the discharge lamp. When the protective cover is mounted on the lighting device, by reading the information of the IC chip, the installation of the discharge lamp can be prevented. When the protective cover is removed, the IC chip is destroyed, so there is no The method reads the information of the IC chip, and can detect the removal of the protective cover and prevent the condition of forgetting to remove the protective cover. By individually certifying the discharge lamp, it is possible to appropriately check the specifications of the discharge lamp and prevent the occurrence of defects after the operation of the device by lighting the discharge lamps of different specifications.

Invention

However, conventional discharge lamp covers and IC tags have the following problems. If only the IC chip is placed on the LED sleeve that can be removed from the discharge lamp, the discharge lamp cannot be individually and strictly managed. Since the storage state and the conveyance state of the discharge lamp cannot be grasped, the damage of the discharge lamp cannot be known. When the IC tag is directly mounted on the discharge lamp, the IC tag is damaged by the high temperature or high voltage at the time of lighting. Further, since the state at the time of lighting cannot be recorded, the life of the discharge lamp cannot be managed. Even if the IC tag is attached to the discharge lamp through the insulator by a simple method, since the shape is different from the general one, the non-dedicated lighting device cannot be used.

Even if an LED sleeve is installed, the discharge lamp will be improperly stored. State, transport state, and rupture when the light source device is lighting. Inappropriate delivery conditions, such as abnormal impact, temperature, etc. In the case of an impact, if the impact of the light-emitting tube is broken, the discharge lamp is not sealed, and therefore the light cannot be turned on, so that it cannot be used in the light source device. On the other hand, when the degree of cracking is inconspicuous due to the impact of not damaging the light-emitting tube, the lighting may be performed in a state where cracks are present. If the lamp is lit in the presence of cracks as described above, the crack will start from the cracked portion. Further, regarding the abnormal temperature, since the discharge lamp is stored at an abnormally high temperature, the light-emitting cover adheres to the surface of the light-emitting tube, and minute fragments which constitute the light-emitting tube sleeve after the light-emitting tube sleeve is removed remain on the surface of the light-emitting tube.

Further, since the discharge lamp is stored at an abnormally low temperature, the water vapor in the air condenses or freezes on the surface of the arc tube, so that stains of minute water droplets remain on the surface of the arc tube. When the discharge lamp is lit in a state in which the small amount of the light-emitting tube sleeve or the fine water droplets are stained on the surface of the light-emitting tube, the debris or the stain portion becomes a high temperature state, and the discharge lamp may be broken. As described above, since it is difficult to judge whether or not the discharge lamp is in a broken state by looking at only one discharge lamp, most of the cases are lit in the original state, resulting in cracking.

In order to start the lighting of the discharge lamp, it temporarily applies a high voltage starting pulse to break the insulation. Thereafter, a method of lighting at a normal voltage is taken. Therefore, when the IC tag is directly placed on the discharge lamp, the internal circuit of the IC tag is destroyed. Moreover, in order to protect the discharge lamp in the package, it is common to use a package that is significantly larger than the discharge lamp. Therefore, in the conventional lamp package, it is difficult to read and write the information of the IC tag in which the discharge lamp is placed in the package.

In Fig. 7, the lamp 201 is a low-pressure mercury lamp; the arc tube 202 is a U-shaped tube made of quartz; and the socket 204 receives electric power from the outside and holds a portion of the discharge lamp in the light source device.

Next, the function and operation of the discharge lamp of the first embodiment of the present invention having the above configuration will be described. First, an outline of the function of the discharge lamp will be described with reference to Fig. 1 . A cover 41 is fitted to the end of the lamp boss 5 of the lamp 1. The cover 41 holds the IC tag 40. The IC tag 40 is written by the reader/writer 60 with information about the discharge lamp and information about the conveyance. Since the IC tag 40 communicates with the reader/writer 60 by radio waves, the cover 41 is preferably made of a material that easily passes radio waves. In addition, since the socket 4 is energized when the lamp is turned on, the cap body 41 is preferably made of an insulating material, and a fluororesin such as Teflon (registered trademark) may be used. Since the cover made of an insulating material is used, the IC tag can be protected from application to The high voltage effect of the lamp holder. In particular, the focus is on protecting the IC tag from the strong start-up pulse waves at the beginning of the lighting. Further, since the IC tag 40 is provided in a portion where the lamp 1 is attached to a conventional light source device without hindrance, even a light source device that does not have the reader/writer 60 of the IC tag 40 can be conventionally known. light.

Next, the IC tag provided in the discharge lamp will be described with reference to Fig. 2 . Since the IC tag is covered with the shielding portion 47, the IC tag 40 can be protected from the heat or electrical noise of the discharge lamp. Further, since the shielding portion 47 has a bottomed cylindrical shape and is opened in the direction in which the reader/writer 60 is provided, the electric wave between the IC tag 40 and the reader/writer 60 can be used without any hindrance even when the lamp is turned on. Read and write information.

Next, the packaging box of the discharge lamp will be described with reference to Fig. 3 . The lamp 1 is conveyed through the package 10 composed of the outer package portion 11 and the buffer portion 12 and protected from external force. The lamp 1 is held in the package 10 by the buffer portion 12, and a certain distance is maintained between the lamp 1 and the outer package portion 11 to prevent external force from being transmitted to the lamp 1. Here, the buffer portion 12 is a disk that is press-formed into a PET material having a shape of a buffer function. Further, in general, when reading and writing the small IC tag 40, it is necessary to bring the reader/writer 60 close to the IC tag 40 to several mm. Here, the package recess 13 is provided in the package 10 so that the reader/writer 60 can be brought close to the IC tag 40. Thereby, even when the lamp 1 enters the package 10, the IC tag 40 can be easily read and written (communicated) with information.

Next, the operation of reading and writing information between the IC tag and the reader/writer will be described with reference to FIG. In the process of manufacturing and transporting the discharge lamp, the reader/writer 60 is used to write the lamp information and the conveyance information. At this point, the actual release Check the information of the lamp and the IC tag. In a light source device using a discharge lamp, the system unit reads and writes information of the memory device of the IC tag 40 through the reader/writer 60. Next, the result is compared with the information of the memory device of the light source device, and it is judged whether or not the discharge lamp can be used. Thereafter, the result is received and displayed and necessary operations are performed by the light source device.

The information written into the IC tag 40 includes information on the lamp, information to be transmitted, information on the record, and information on the light. The following describes the information. The light information includes individual information and device setting information. The individual information of the lamp includes the date of manufacture, the name of the manufacturer, the place of manufacture, the manufacturing line, the form of the lamp, the serial number, the batch number and the identification number. Device setting information includes rated lamp current, rated lamp voltage, cooling conditions, installation direction of the device, and usage limit time. The delivery information includes information about the delivery and information. The transportation information includes the date and time of shipment of the factory, the date and time of warehouse storage, the date and time of shipment of the agent, the destination of the delivery, the name of the delivery company, the invoice number of the goods, and the name of the person in charge.

The delivery status information includes temperature records and shock records. The method of leaving the temperature recording can be exemplified by the following method. When it is detected by the temperature sensor that the predetermined period of time has reached a predetermined temperature or higher or a predetermined temperature or lower, the information stored in the abnormal state and the current temperature value are recorded on the IC tag 40. The method of leaving the impact record can be exemplified by the following method. When a certain amount of impact is detected by the acceleration sensor or the like, the information indicating that a certain amount of impact is received and the acceleration value at that time are recorded on the IC tag 40. Furthermore, the time of the sensor control unit can be used to add the time and record on the IC tag 40.

Turning on the record information means recording the record of the package 10 and opening the record of the light-emitting sleeve. When the package 10 is opened or the light-emitting sleeve is opened, the IC tag 40 records respective opening record information. The mechanism for detecting the opening is used, for example, by peeling off a sensor or the like that opens a part of the circuit by turning on the conductive seal. When the package 10 is opened, the terminal of the package sensor and the IC tag 40 is electrically connected through the sensor control unit, and the open recording information that has been opened by the package 10 is written into the IC tag 40. Furthermore, the opening time can also be recorded on the IC tag 40 by using the time information of the sensor control unit. When the light-emitting sleeve is opened and removed from the discharge lamp, since the package 10 is in a state of being separated from the discharge lamp, the terminal portion and the package of the IC tag 40 can be sensed without passing through the sensor control portion. The detector is electrically connected and written to the open recording information that has been removed from the LED sleeve. When the IC tag 40 does not have a power source, the reader/writer 60 can then use the terminal portion to detect that the connection with the sleeve sensor has been interrupted.

The lighting record information includes a little light start date and time, the light-off date and time, the date and time of lighting again, lighting conditions, number of switches, cumulative lighting time, device individual number, device settings, device error information, and prohibition of use. Information, etc. Such information can be used not only for the management of the use of the discharge lamp, but also for the subsequent investigation when the discharge lamp is defective.

Next, the reading and writing of the IC tag on the discharge lamp from the time of manufacture to the end of use will be described with reference to FIG. When the lamp is manufactured, the reader is used to write the lamp information to the IC tag. When the lamp is being transported, the reader is used to write the conveyance information to the IC tag. Next, read the information of the lamp written to the IC tag, And check the discharge lamp and lamp information. When the temperature is abnormal or abnormally impacted during transportation, the IC tag is written with the conveyance status information. Also, according to the opening of the package, the IC tag is written with the package to open the record information. According to the removal of the LED sleeve from the package, the IC tag is written with the information to remove the LED sleeve.

When the discharge lamp has been installed in the light source device, the light source device reads the lamp information written to the IC tag, transmits the information, turns on the record information, lights the record information, and judges whether the light can be turned on and warned before the discharge lamp is turned on. Display and lighting stop action. The light source device issues a warning when it is judged by the lamp information that it is not suitable for the light source device. The conveyance information is judged as follows. When the period from the lamp manufacturing period to the lighting start period is abnormally long, the performance of the discharge lamp cannot be ensured, and therefore the light source device issues a warning. When the period from the time when the package is opened to the time when the lighting is started is abnormally long, the storage state of the discharge lamp is doubtful, and therefore the light source device issues a warning. When the recording of the light-emitting sleeve is not turned on, it is doubtful whether or not the light-emitting tube sleeve is forgotten, and the light source device will issue a warning.

The light source device issues a warning when the temperature record and the impact record leave an abnormal record. The light source device not only warns the operator, but it is also preferable to force the discharge lamp to be unusable. The light source device writes the following lighting record information during the period in which the discharge lamp is used. The light source device writes the lighting start date and time, the lighting condition, and the like to the IC tag when the discharge lamp is started to be turned on, and can also write the lighting time, the lighting condition, and the like to the IC tag after lighting at a predetermined time. Moreover, when the lighting time exceeds the life of the discharge lamp, the light source device issues a warning to the operator or forcibly turns off the light.

When the light is turned off, the light source device writes the lighting time and the date and time of turning off the light to the IC tag. When the system unit of the light source device determines that the lighting state of the discharge lamp is abnormal, the lamp is forcibly turned off, and the abnormal state and the date and time of occurrence are recorded as the lighting record information in the IC tag. The record of the abnormal state may be an error code of the device or the like. When it is an abnormal state of the lamp that can no longer be lit, the prohibited lighting record information is written into the IC tag. In the case of re-igniting the discharge lamp, the light source device also reads the lamp information written to the IC tag, conveys the information, turns on the record information, lights the record information, and determines whether the lamp can be turned on before the discharge lamp is turned on. Therefore, even if the discharge lamp is replaced in a still usable condition, the use record such as the lighting time remains in the IC tag of the lamp body, so that the life of the discharge lamp can be individually managed.

In the case of a discharge lamp that has reached the specified life, the IC tag is written with lighting information that is prohibited from being used for a predetermined life. In addition, if the system of the light source device determines that the discharge lamp is abnormal and the discharge lamp is no longer lightable, the IC tag is written with the lighting record information that is prohibited from being used. Since the discharge lamp having the IC tag in which the prohibition of use information is written can refuse the lighting operation according to the judgment of the light source device, it is possible to prevent the mistake from being turned on again. Furthermore, the light source device can also read the lamp information from the IC tag and record it in the memory device as a discharge lamp that is stopped. When the IC tag is recovered from the discharge lamp that has been stopped, the use of the discharge lamp can be grasped from the lighting information of the IC tag, which is advantageous for the management of the lamp quality in the future. Moreover, in the case where the lighting is stopped due to an abnormality of the lamp, it is also advantageous for the investigation of the cause.

When a communication error occurs between the IC tag and the reading device during the initial lighting, when the lighting is turned on, and during the lighting, it is preferable to make the discharge lamp only available. The processing of lighting during the period. When a communication error occurs during the initial lighting or when the lighting is turned on, the operator can input the lamp information such as the discharge lamp manufacturing number to the touch panel of the light source device, and the discharge lamp can be turned on for a certain period of time. Since the lamp information of the input manufacturing number or the like is recorded in advance in the memory device of the light source device, the lamp lighting time can be managed. When a communication error occurs in the lamp lighting, the discharge lamp can be illuminated for a certain period of time. In this case, when the lamp itself generates a defect, it is preferable to turn off the light by the light source device. Since the above-described processing is performed as a temporary process until the maintenance person arrives to perform repair of the IC tag reading device, the predetermined period is, for example, a period of several days. In particular, if it is in a remote place, set the period to be longer.

Next, an example in which an IC tag is attached to a straight tube type discharge lamp will be described with reference to Fig. 6. The straight tube type discharge lamp includes, for example, a high pressure mercury lamp, a metal halide lamp, a low pressure mercury lamp, etc., but is not limited to the discharge lamps. A lamp holder 104 is fixed to an end portion of the sealing tube 103 connected to the arc tube 102. The lamp 101 is held in the light source device through the socket 104. The socket 104 extends out of the power supply line 7. Further, one end of the power supply line 7 is electrically connected to an electrode (not shown) in the arc tube, and the other end is fixed with a crimp terminal 8. An insulating cover 141 is held at the end of the socket 104. An IC tag 40 covered by a shielding portion 47 is provided in the cover 141. The IC tag 40 records lamp information and the like.

Next, an example in which an IC tag is attached to a U-tube type discharge lamp will be described with reference to Fig. 7. The U-tube type discharge lamp includes, for example, a low-pressure mercury lamp, a cold cathode lamp, a flash lamp, and the like, but is not limited to the discharge lamps. A socket 204 is fixed to both ends of the arc tube 202. The lamp 201 is fixed through the lamp holder 204 Hold in the light source device. The socket 204 extends out of the power supply line 7. Further, one end of the power supply line 7 is electrically connected to an electrode (not shown) in the arc tube, and the other end is fixed with a connector 9. One of the sockets 204 is provided with a concave hole and an insulating cover 241 is embedded. An IC tag 40 covered by a shielding portion 47 is provided in the cover 241. The IC tag 40 records lamp information and the like.
