Description

Processing device and processing method for prefabricated rod conical head
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber perform processing, in particular to a processing device and a processing method of a preform taper head.
Background
The drawing length of the single optical fiber preform is improved, the optical fiber production efficiency can be effectively improved, and the manufacturing cost is reduced. Thus, optical fiber preforms are gradually being developed in larger dimensions, and the drawable length of a single rod has reached thousands of kilometers.
For the manufacturing technology of large-size optical fiber preforms, a two-step manufacturing process is mainly adopted, namely, a core rod with a certain refractive index profile and a certain geometric size is prepared, and then a cladding with a certain thickness is coated. Among many outer cladding manufacturing processes, the sleeving method (RIC) easily produces a large-sized optical fiber preform having stable optical parameters since the sleeve is not limited in size and has a uniform geometric size. In CN101328012A, a method for manufacturing a large-sized optical fiber preform by a high-efficiency and low-cost fusion-shrink tube process is introduced.
Before drawing the optical fiber preform, the starting part needs to be processed in advance to manufacture a streamline conical head, so that the subsequent optical fiber drawing operation is facilitated.
Most manufacturers adopt a cone head processing mode of high-temperature cone falling, namely, the processed part is melted at high temperature and gradually thinned by falling under the action of gravity to form a cone. The processing mode is affected by the gravity of the lower cone part, so that the length and the shape of the cone head of each prefabricated rod are difficult to unify, the loss of the prefabricated rod is more, and the waste of the prefabricated rod is caused.
Patent document CN103739193A describes a method for welding the remaining cone of the drawn wire to the preform to form a cone, which can reduce the waste of the preform, but involves multiple cutting and welding operations, and the process is complicated, and has high requirements for the remaining cone.
Patent document CN105271702A describes a method of heating and softening the front section of a preform to form a V-shaped groove, and then horizontally tapering the preform after butt-jointing a quartz rod with the preform. Although the method can effectively reduce the taper loss, the operation difficulty is high, and the unification of the length and the shape of the taper head is difficult to ensure.
Especially for large-sized sleeve preforms, the conventional cone head processing methods have the problems of difficult operation and low efficiency due to large size, heavy weight, and long time for heating, softening and cooling, and therefore, a new cone head processing method needs to be developed.

9. The method for processing a tapered end of a preform according to claim 8, wherein the tapering process further comprises the steps of:
driving the mounting plate (1) to ascend by a third preset distance at a third preset speed through a second driving device (6); the second driving device (6) drives the mounting plate (1) to ascend and the first driving device (5) drives the lower clamp (3) to descend simultaneously;
and the third preset speed is less than or equal to the first preset speed.
10. The method of fabricating a taper head of a preform according to claim 5 or 6, further comprising the steps of, before cutting the taper portion: after cooling in the heating zone for a period of time, the mounting plate (1) is driven by the second driving device (6) to move downwards until the cone is positioned outside the heating zone, and natural cooling is carried out.
