Technical field
The present invention relates to optic fibre manufacturing technology field, particular for wet to wet coating process, be specifically related to one
Drawing process applies method and the device thereof of the on-line automatic control of diameter.
Background technology
Along with the construction of " broadband China " implementation and 4G network is carried out, the market need to optical fiber
The amount of asking will be significantly increased, and optical fiber industry will gradually take a turn for the better by basic side, and form explosive growth.In the face of powerful
The market demand, Ge great optical fiber producer competitively improves production technology, improves production efficiency, accounts for increasing market
There is rate.The method improving production efficiency common has two kinds: 1. use large-sized preform to carry out wire drawing;
2. drawing speed is improved.But when improving drawing speed, usually can be excessive with string diameter fluctuation, cooling is not
Foot, the series of process problem such as internal flaw increase.So, the most acquired under higher drawing speed
Stable high quality optical fiber can just become a very important major issue in fiber manufacturing.
High-quality optical fiber requires have high accuracy and more stable external diameter, high mechanical strength, low decay,
Defect that also will be the fewest.Coated technique has decisive influence for the precision and stability of fibre external diameters,
Meanwhile, overlay diameter also has the biggest impact to the various performances of optical fiber, such as microbending loss performance, ring
Border test performance, peeling force performance and tinctorial property etc..Especially for some small diameter fiber, as
G.657 the non-sensitive optical fiber of bending of 200um, thus need inside and outside painting during preparation high quality optical fiber
Deposited diameter carries out the strictest control.
Multiple technological parameters of drawing optical fibers can produce impact to the coating diameter of optical fiber, such as drawing speed, cold
But the He throughput of pipe, is coated with pressure and the coating cup temperature etc. of dressing.At present to fiber coating layer diameter
Adjusting is mostly to use single technological parameter to be adjusted, and mostly adopts manually.This single
Parameter or the mode manually adjusted would generally produce substantial amounts of technique and Cost Problems: as applied in drawing process
Layer diameter fluctuation is excessive, and He gas usage amount is excessive.

Embodiment 1
When coating cup temperature T1 in a diameter of 185.5 μm of undercoating that caliper 8 records, PLC10 regulation,
It is gradually increased with the step-length of 1 DEG C, often increases the 2min such as step-length need after temperature stabilization, be further added by T1.
Along with the increase of interior coating cup temperature, undercoating diameter also becomes larger.Reach when T1 increases to 60 DEG C
Limit value, now a diameter of 186.3 μm of undercoating, stop increasing, and T1 maintains 60 DEG C.If continuing to increase
Coating will be caused to wield influence in a large number coating effect.Then, it is coated with pressure P1 with 0.2bar step-length in improving,
Often increase the 30s such as step-length need after pressure stabilisation, be further added by P1, when P1 brings up to 8bar, reach
To interior painting upper pressure limit, in stopping increasing, it is coated with pressure, if continuing to increase coating will overflow mould, now
A diameter of 188.4 μm of interior painting of optical fiber, the most not up to desired value.He air-flow is reduced with the step-length of 0.1L/min
Amount, often increase the 1min such as step-length need until L stably after, be further added by, when He throughput L increases to
During 7.5L/min, desired value 190 μm of undercoating diameter.
Embodiment 2
When a diameter of 196.2 μm of undercoating that caliper 8 records, PLC10 regulates cooling tube He throughput L,
Gradually decrease He throughput with the step-length of 0.1L/min, often reduce the 1min such as step-length need until L stably after,
Reduce again.Along with the minimizing of L, undercoating diameter is also gradually reduced.When L is reduced to 0, now interior painting
A diameter of 192.7 μm of layer, stop reducing, and L maintains 0, and to be coated with pressure P1 in the reduction of 0.2bar step-length,
Often reduce the 30s such as step-length need until P1 stably after, then reduce, when interior painting pressure is reduced to 4bar, reach
To lower limit, in stopping reducing, it is coated with pressure, now a diameter of 190.8 μm of the undercoating of optical fiber, still miss the mark
Value.Now, coating cup temperature T1 in reducing with the step-length of 1 DEG C, often reduce the 2min such as a step-length and treat T1
After Wen Ding, then reducing, when T1 is reduced to 48 DEG C, undercoating diameter reaches desired value 190 μm.

When the outer coating diameter that caliper 8 records is 239.6 μm, PLC10 control, with the step-length of 1 DEG C by
Cumulative add outer coating cup temperature T2, often increase the 2min such as step-length need after T2 temperature, be further added by.With
T2 gradually raises, and outer coating diameter is gradually increased;When T2 reaches 60 DEG C, now outer coating diameter is
240.3 μm, the most not up to desired value, stop increasing T2, set T2 as 60 DEG C, and carry with 0.2bar step-length
The high outer pressure P2 that is coated with, often improves the 30s such as step-length need after outer painting pressure stability, then improves;When P2 reaches
During to 8bar, now outer coating diameter is 243.5 μm, the most not up to desired value, then set P2 as 8bar,
And it is gradually increased outer coating material temperature degree T3 with the step-length of 0.5 DEG C, often increase the 1min such as step-length need and treat T3
After Wen Ding, it is further added by.When T3 increases to 58.5 DEG C, interior painting diameter reaches desired value 245 μm.

When the outer coating diameter that caliper 8 records is 251.3 μm, PLC10 control, with the step-length of 1 DEG C by
Decrescence few outer coating cup temperature T2, often increase the 2min such as step-length need until T2 stably after, then reduce.With
The reduction of T2, outer coating diameter is also gradually reduced;When T2 reaches 40 DEG C, now outer coating diameter is
250.4 μm, outer coating diameter is still not up to desired value, then sets T2 as 40 DEG C, and subtract with 0.2bar step-length
Little outer painting pressure P2, when often reducing a step-length 30s such as need until P2 stably after, then reduce;When outer painting pressure
When P2 is reduced to lower limit 4bar, now outer coating diameter is 247.6 μm.Outer coating diameter is still not up to mesh
Scale value, then set P2 as 5bar, and gradually decrease outer coating material temperature degree T3 with the step-length of 0.5 DEG C, often reduce
The 1min such as one step-length need are after T3 is stable, then reduce.When T3 increases to 45.5 DEG C, external coating is straight
Footpath reaches desired value 245 μm.
Being found by substantial amounts of case study, the use present invention can be by the inside and outside coating diameter of G.652 optical fiber
Control respectively in the range of 190 ± 0.5 μm and 245 ± 1 μm, more much lower than present Standard far away,
High quality optical fiber is gone out for high-speed production significant.
