Description

The manufacture method of precision mould-pressing forming prefoamer and the manufacture method of optical element
Technical field
The pre-frothing body that the present invention relates to the manufacture method of precision mould-pressing forming prefoamer and aforesaid method is made carries out the method that precise compression molding is made optical element.
Background technology
As the technology with the glass optical element of high precision such as high productivity mass production non-spherical lens, known have a precise compression molding method (optical element moulding method).In the precise compression molding method, the method for employing is that the formed body that making is commonly called the pre-frothing body heats this pre-frothing body then and carries out compression molding.
As the method for making this pre-frothing body, known have: be shaped to glass block by melten glass, this glass block is cut into specified dimension, and carry out grinding, grinding so that smooth surface forms the method (being called cold process) of predetermined weight simultaneously; Isolate the fused glass block of the amount of single pre-frothing body by melten glass, in the process of this glass block of cooling, be directly formed to the method (being called hot-forming method) (with reference to patent documentation 1) of pre-frothing body.
In hot-forming method, during pyritous glass contact forming mould, can locally sharply cool off at contact part glass because of thermal conduction, be easy to generate the be full of cracks that is called as cold crack.Therefore, adopted and on forming mould, formed air cushion, under the state that melten glass floats, carried out the method (being called the floating method of forming) of moulding.Because therefore local contraction when mould partly contacts with melten glass can produce concavo-convex or fold at glass surface.In addition, if mould and melten glass heat bonding, then could the bonding trace of adhesion heat and the dirt settling of moulding stock at glass surface.Therefore, on the problem that solves surface quality, the floating method of forming is extremely excellent method.
Therefore hot-forming method compares the advantage with productivity excellence owing to can directly be made the high ganoid pre-frothing body of weight precision and do not needed mechanical workout by melten glass with cold process.Yet, do not have the pre-frothing of defective body fully owing to must be directly formed to, so technical difficulty to be higher than cold process far away by melten glass.

Summary of the invention
In the floating method of forming of above-mentioned heat, it is generally acknowledged that the pyritous fused glass block keeps levitated state often on forming mould.But, know that by the inventor's research when the front end of molten glass flow dropped on the forming mould, most cases was that glass can contact with mould moment.The reason of glass contact is considered to, and the potential energy that exists and the front end area of molten glass flow are little and can not get sufficient buoyancy.Wherein, even in most cases melten glass contacted with mould moment, can not produce heat bonding yet, but directly be transformed into levitated state.But; situation at the big glass of the heat bonding tendency of moulding and moulding stock; or to improve the turnout of moulding pre-frothing body and when increasing the flow of glass with the forming mould of limited number; the temperature of forming mould can rise, even therefore also usually can produce heat bonding for above-mentioned moment contact.If slight heat bonding is then eliminated back heat bonding trace meeting Lock-out at heat bonding, do not constitute problem, when still producing the heat bonding of severe, can the bonding trace of residual heat.Around hot sticky lapping defect, can produce brush line like this, perhaps heat bonding part sometimes glass ingredient can be reduced and painted.In addition, in the situation of the low viscous molten glass of casting, supporting gas is invaded in the melten glass from heat bonding portion, and the glass after the casting can bubble.
The degree that is easy to produce heat bonding depends on that glass forms, flows out the surfacing of the temperature of temperature, take-off rate, forming mould, forming mould, supporting gas flow etc.For example the phosphate glass of molten state and moulding stock is reactive strong, is very easy to heat bonding.In addition, in general the glass of high refractive index is because the liquidus temperature height, thus flow out the temperature height, and because therefore its proportion height is very easy to heat bonding.In order to prevent heat bonding, the method for temperature that reduces forming mould is effectively, but can produce the problem in the moulding as described below.
Flow out the high glass of temperature owing to the softening temperature height, therefore the peripheral part of fused glass block will solidify in casting.When peripheral part takes place to solidify, because glass can not expanded, therefore can not form big glass block, perhaps the external diameter of pre-frothing body can be out of shape.In addition, when die temperature is hanged down, can produce contraction, glass shape can be different with the shape of mould, thereby mould and glass contact make cold air enter sometimes, and can not keep good levitated state.In order to solve the problem in these moulding, particularly when the relatively large pre-frothing body of moulding, forming mould must carry out heating to a certain degree.Yet if the big glass of heat bonding tendency improves die temperature, heat bonding can take place as mentioned above.As the method that prevents heat bonding, can make forming mould with material difficult and that glass heat is bonding, but die cost can increase, so be not preferred.In addition, if increase the flow of supporting gas, can become also that it is molten sticking to be difficult to, but for low-viscosity glass, melten glass can warpage and produce brush line, and air cushion gets muddled, on the contrary also heat bonding easily sometimes.
Consider that from above-mentioned reason because the kind of glass, the capacity of moulding etc., most cases makes the moulding significant difficulties that becomes.
On the other hand, glass ingredient can volatilize from the pyritous melten glass, although there is difference in degree, volatile component tends to be deposited in the forming mould surface.The glass that particularly volatilizees manyly, the amount of volatile matter that is deposited in the forming mould concave surface is big, is attached on the melten glass again sometimes.Volatile matter heat bonding such situation on molten glass surface owing to utilize washing not remove, therefore can not be used as precision mould-pressing forming prefoamer.
The object of the present invention is to provide in the thermoforming of using at the circulation forming mould, can prevent the glass and the heat bonding of mould molding face and adhering to of glass volatile matter, and pre-frothing system making method that can stably manufactured; And utilize aforesaid method to make the pre-frothing body, by this pre-frothing body is carried out precise compression molding, make the method for optical element with high productivity.

[manufacture method of precision mould-pressing forming prefoamer]
The manufacture method of precision mould-pressing forming prefoamer of the present invention, it is characterized in that, to export effusive melten glass from nozzle flow is cast to the forming mould, by gas (supporting gas) from described forming mould molding surface ejection, make described melten glass floating pre-frothing body that is shaped to simultaneously on the forming mould molding surface, from forming mould, take out the pre-frothing body of moulding, the new melten glass of casting in the forming mould that has taken out described pre-frothing body, circulation is transferred a plurality of forming moulds and is carried out above operation repeatedly; Wherein, after taking out described pre-frothing body, before the new melten glass of casting during, at least a portion of forming mould molding surface is forced cooling.
In order to implement aforesaid method, at first prepare to be founded, the melten glass of homogenizing.Melten glass is heated, accumulates in the container of for example platinum alloy system, is directed to the nozzle flow outlet by the pipe (for example platinum or platinum alloy system) that is connected on this container.By managing and nozzle is heated to specified temperature, can make to export effusive melten glass amount (being called derived quantity) from nozzle flow in the unit time and keep constant.Export the melten glass that separates predetermined weight the effusive melten glass from nozzle flow.Separation method about melten glass is described in the back.
Then, will be in the effusive melten glass of nozzle spout isolated fused glass block or melten glass drip and be cast in the forming mould, on forming mould, be shaped to the pre-frothing body.In the moulding, spray gas (supporting gas) and glass is applied blast upwards by molding surface, thereby make melten glass buoyant on the forming mould molding surface carry out moulding (being called floating moulding) simultaneously from forming mould.Take out the pre-frothing body of moulding from forming mould.The new melten glass of forming mould casting to having taken out the pre-frothing body repeats above-mentioned operation.In the present invention, a plurality of forming moulds of circulation handover carry out above operation repeatedly.
As above-mentioned forming mould, can use the forming mould that has recess and in above-mentioned recess, be provided with a plurality of gas vents.Specifically, can be illustrated in recess and form a large amount of pores with from the mould of each hole ejection supporting gas, form recess and by the mould of porous material from whole recess ejection supporting gas with porous material.
One of according to the embodiment of the present invention, on being the circumference at center, the turning axle with worktable equally spaced disposing a plurality of forming moulds on the rotary table, by the above-mentioned worktable of rotation that indexes in one direction, forming mould is transplanted on successively the position (being called casting position) of watering cast glass.After casting finished, the index rotary table shifted out the forming mould that is loaded with glass from casting position, and the forming mould of the sky before will casting simultaneously is transferred to casting position.By carrying out such operation repeatedly, when being cooled, the forming mould upper glass that moves is formed as the pre-frothing body, near glass temperature is reduced to second-order transition temperature or when being lower than second-order transition temperature, from forming mould, take out pre-frothing body (being called taking-up).The pre-frothing body that is removed can be supplied in subsequent handling after slowly cooling off.On the other hand, take out the back empty forming mould of change and be transplanted on casting position once more.As mentioned above, by making rotary table index rotation in one direction, a plurality of forming moulds that are configured on the rotary table are transferred along circular orbit.
Force cooling
Among the present invention, after taking out above-mentioned pre-frothing body, before the new melten glass of casting during, at least a portion of forming mould molding surface is forced cooling.As mentioned above, glass and forming mould always do not remain on contactless state in floating moulding.Particularly in casting when just having begun, glass flows falls into forming mould, and the front end of glass flows contacts heat bonding also with mould molding face central authorities situation is very many.In addition, casting finishes the aftershaping mould and indexes when rotating, because the mass force of rotation, mould might contact with glass.That is to say that when the casting beginning, the temperature of glass is the highest, glass contacts mould easily owing to the potential energy that falls, and therefore nearly all can produce heat bonding.Certainly, the position overwhelming majority of generation heat bonding is the central part of mould molding face.
In the present invention, force cooling by at least a portion, thereby can be adjusted to the molding surface top casting glass that can not produce the temperature of heat bonding with the glass of casting to the molding surface of the forming mould before casting.At this, so-called pressure cooling is meant and for example makes mould molding face (for example molding surface central part) temperature reduce at least 20 ℃ in 20 seconds or 20 seconds, preferably lowers the temperature 30~70 ℃.The above-mentioned refrigerative forming mould surface that is forced to is preferably used as the molding surface of accepting melten glass, and especially preferably the central part to the molding surface of easy heat bonding cools off.
Above-mentioned pressure cooling is to be lowered into the profile temperature not produce the operation of heat bonding when casting, forces the refrigerative degree preferably according to the suitable adjustment such as temperature of moulding stock, die temperature, glass types or melten glass.In the present invention, for example can force to cool off until being about 200~350 ℃ in the temperature of forcing cooling to finish aftershaping face central part.Can monitor the temperature on forming mould surface by for example radiating thermometer or contact thermometer.
Above-mentioned pressure cooling can be undertaken by at least a portion feeding liquid to the forming mould surface.The flowing fluid ratio gas heat capacity is big, can seize vaporization heat from forming mould when liquid evaporates owing to the heat of forming mould, so cooling efficiency is very good.As the liquid that uses, can illustration water, alcohol etc.From the cooling efficiency height, and angle consideration easy, processing ease, preferably make water.Also can be with the liquid cooling of supplying with, controlled temperature is for example below the room temperature.The amount of the liquid of supplying with can be according to the suitable settings such as composition of the glass of the size of the kind of liquid, die temperature, mould, use.
As the supply method of liquid, can use (1) to the method for forming mould molding surface spraying liquid, (2) drip method from liquid to the forming mould molding surface.Method (1) is effective especially to the whole molding surface feeding liquid of forming mould the time.
The position of the feeding liquid on forming mould surface is a molding surface of accepting melten glass, especially preferably to the central part feeding liquid of the molding surface of easy heat bonding.In addition, in order to cool off whole molding surface, most preferably spray with vaporific center to molding surface.But, as mentioned above,,, also can be prevented the heat bonding effect fully even therefore concentrate on molding surface central authorities and spraying liquid or dropping liquid owing to be easy to generate heat bonding at the molding surface central part.
When forcing to cool off by feeding liquid as mentioned above, at glass surface residual liquid spot, preferably making molding surface before casting is drying regime in order not make the reaction of pyritous glass and liquid or liquid vapors.Therefore, when forcing to cool off by feeding liquid, need be again to forming mould casting melten glass behind the liquid of removing supply from the forming mould molding surface.During before the melten glass that removing of liquid can be behind feeding liquid, casting is new by carrying out from forming mould molding surface ejection supporting gas.Also can not spray supporting gas and remove liquid to forming mould jet surface gas in addition, perhaps draw the liquid on forming mould surface by suction unit.And, also can and with in these methods more than 2 kinds or 2 kinds.In addition, when forming mould was sufficiently high temperature, part or all of the liquid of supply evaporated sometimes.At this moment, for evaporate the back on the forming mould surface residual solids composition not, preferably use the high liquid of purity.For example make under the situation of water, preferably use pure water.In addition, contain the forming mould of porous member, can shorten the evaporation of liquid time by using the surface.Here, can judge easily that by visual liquid is removed.
Carry out the supply of liquid as mentioned above and remove and effectively to remove the volatile matter that is attached to the forming mould molding surface from glass.As the volatile matter from glass, representative substances is B 2O 3Perhaps Li 2O, Na 2O, K 2Alkali compositions such as O, these materials all are dissolved in liquid particularly in the water easily, therefore can easily remove from the forming mould molding surface with liquid.Thereby the present invention is suitable for making by containing B 2O 3The pre-frothing body that constitutes as the glass of glass ingredient, by contain pre-frothing body that the glass of basic metal as glass ingredient constitutes, by containing B 2O 3The pre-frothing body that constitutes as the glass of glass ingredient with basic metal, by containing Li 2O is as the pre-frothing body of the glass formation of glass ingredient, by containing B 2O 3And Li 2O is as the pre-frothing body of the glass formation of glass ingredient, by containing Li 2O and Na 2O is as the pre-frothing body of the glass formation of glass ingredient, by containing Li 2O and K 2O is as the pre-frothing body of the glass formation of glass ingredient, by containing Li 2O, Na 2O and K 2O is as the pre-frothing body of the glass formation of glass ingredient, by containing B 2O 3, Li 2O and Na 2O is as the pre-frothing body of the glass formation of glass ingredient, by containing B 2O 3, Li 2O and K 2O is as the pre-frothing body of the glass formation of glass ingredient, by containing B 2O 3, Li 2O, Na 2O and K 2O is as each pre-frothing body such as pre-frothing body of the glass formation of glass ingredient.
In addition, in the present invention, also can be by at least a portion jet flow stream (hereinafter referred to as air-cooled gas) of forming mould molding surface being carried out above-mentioned pressure cooling.As air-cooled gas, so long as safety and gas with cooling power just do not have the restriction of kind.Consider that from the angle of cheapness air-cooled gas preferably uses air, nitrogen, oxygen, carbonic acid gas, and preferably do not contain the gas of oil content and dust.In order to improve cooling power, also can use to be cooled to the following gas of room temperature.
For example, under the situation of the rotary table that using as mentioned above indexes rotates, can use air-cooled gas to force cooling by the following method.At first, above the extracting position and the rotary table between the casting position of pre-frothing body, dispose air-cooled gas nozzle.When the shaping mould tool is shifted into the below of air-cooled gas usefulness nozzle,, force cooling by spraying air-cooled gas to forming mould from this nozzle.Under the situation of forming mould molding surface ejection supporting gas, when the air-cooled gas of spraying,, preferably the pressure of air-cooled gas is set for the pressure higher than the pressure of supporting gas in order to improve cooling efficiency.The injecting time of air-cooled gas can be set at for example about 3~30 seconds according to the suitable settings such as composition of the glass of the temperature of air-cooled gas, die temperature, use.
In addition, in the present invention,, also can carry out above-mentioned pressure cooling by making at least a portion of the temperature heat conductor contact moudling die surface lower than the temperature on forming mould surface.As heat conductor, for example except the high metal of the such thermal conductivity of aluminium, copper, brass, iron, can also use common metal such as stainless steel.In addition, wear and tear in order to prevent to contact with mould, abrasion powder is attached on the pre-frothing body, also can implement abrasion-resistant coatings as required.In addition, in order to relax contact impact, the preferred method that makes the heat conductor contact by spring pressure of using.As abrasion-resistant coatings, can the illustration chromiumcoating, nitride coatings etc.As long as the temperature of above-mentioned heat conductor can be for example 20~80 ℃ lower than the temperature on forming mould surface.In addition, in order to improve cooling efficiency, preferably water cooling plant is set in heat conductor inside.In addition, in order to improve thermal conductivity, also can introduce heat pipe structure.
Above-mentioned heat conductor can be a rhoptry for example, by making at least a portion of its top contact moudling die surface, forces cooling.The size that the sphere attrition process is roughly coincide to the recess with molding surface is preferably carried out on claval top.Thus, can improve cooling efficiency.
For example, as mentioned above, use indexes under the situation of rotary table of rotation, the above-mentioned heat conductor of configuration above the extracting position of pre-frothing body and the rotary table between the casting position, when the shaping mould tool is shifted into the worktable below, by heat conductor is reduced to contact with forming mould, force cooling.Can for example can be set at about 3~30 seconds duration of contact according to the composition or the suitable settings such as moulding capacity, pouring time of the glass of the kind of heat conductor and temperature, die temperature, use.
More than, illustrated that as forced cooling method the method, (2) of (1) feeding liquid use the method for air-cooled gas, (3) to use the method for heat conductor, also can be used in combination in the present invention certainly in these methods more than 2 kinds or 2 kinds.
The separation of melten glass
Then, describe at export the method that fractional melting glass block the effusive melten glass or melten glass drip from nozzle flow.
The 1st separation method is to export the melten glass that drips from nozzle flow, obtains the method (being called the method for dripping) of the glass drop of desired wt.For the method for dripping, exist from the drip method (be called nature drip method) of melten glass and nozzle flow exported that vertical glass applies blast and the method for dripping of nozzle flow outlet nature.In the method for dripping naturally, act on gravity that nozzle flow exports vertical glass when to desire to make glass by the surface tension of glass and stay nozzle flow and export vertical power bigger, produce drippage.In the method for dripping,, except gravity, also be applied with the power that blast produces as the downward power that puts on glass applying blast, though therefore with identical viscosities from the same nozzle same glass of dripping, this method also can obtain the littler glass drop of weight.
Glass drop can directly be accepted with forming mould, transfers in the forming mould after also can accepting with the parts different with mould.Casting in the 1st separation method is carried out as mentioned above like that, but method of the present invention is suitable for directly accepting with forming mould the situation of glass drop.When directly accepting from glass that the nozzle flow outlet is dripped with forming mould, because glass is in the condition of high temperature, therefore be easy to generate the heat bonding with forming mould, but by before casting, forming mould being forced cooling, thereby heat bonding can positively be prevented.
The 2nd separation method is the method that is suitable for separating than the more heavy weight glass of the method for dripping.In the method, export the leading section of effusive molten glass flow from nozzle flow with support body supports, under the state that does not separate molten glass flow, on supporter, accumulate glass, reduce supporter (being called the decline process of chopping) fast with the regulation timing, perhaps remove the support of supporter, thereby separate the glass that lodges on the supporter, isolate fused glass block from molten glass flow.For example use the supporter that constitutes at the separable amalgamation parts of width, after accepting the molten glass flow front end, pass through to separate amalgamation parts, the support that can remove supporter.By supporting the leading section of molten glass flow, between the leading section of molten glass flow and nozzle side, produce necking down, according to aforesaid operations, do not use cutters, will produce the separation of glass at necking section by the surface tension of glass.Under the state of the support that does not have supporter, separate owing to the weight of dripping naturally produces glass, but, can separate the bigger glass of weight by supporting the molten glass flow front end.Usually, by make above-mentioned timing or when supporting molten glass flow and separate the constant distance of spray nozzle front end and supporter, can separate the glass of constant weight.
Here,, the forming mould that forms by the casting melten glass can be used, also the supporting body special different can be used with forming mould as above-mentioned supporter.According to the present invention,,, also can avoid heat bonding problem with glass even therefore forming mould is used as supporter because forming mould is forced to cooling.In addition, in order to prevent and the heat bonding of melten glass, also can use supporter with water cooling plant.
When casting the more heavy weight glass of glass that obtains than dripping naturally, more heat supplies to forming mould from the glass of casting.The temperature of forming mould excessively rises easily when consequently, recycling.And because weight of glass is big, the potential energy of glass during easily because of casting contacts with forming mould.From above-mentioned reason, the danger of the heat bonding of above-mentioned situation lower-glass and mould increases, but according to the present invention, because the temperature with the forming mould surface before casting beginning is reduced to the temperature that heat bonding does not take place, so can stably produces greater weight pre-frothing body and can not produce heat bonding.
In the 1st, the 2nd separation method of above explanation, as long as make the glass flows output in the time per unit keep constant, and make the timed interval of separation of glasses constant, the glass of weight such as all can separate.And two kinds of methods are all different with the cut mechanically method, are not called as the cutting trace of shearing trace owing to can not produce, so can the level and smooth pre-frothing body of molded surface.
In the present invention, by forcing cooling, the mould molding surface temperature is cooled to the temperature that heat bonding does not take place when the casting beginning.On the other hand, evenly expand to carry out moulding in order not hinder glass, preferred rapid temperature with the forming mould surface is increased to specified temperature in casting beginning back.For this reason, the preferred length at least after taking out the pre-frothing body, before the new melten glass of casting or continue the hot briquetting mould during this period.Because above-mentioned pressure cooling is to carry out at the molding surface of mould, so the die ontology portion temperature beyond the molding surface can be too not low.Like this, forcing cooling to finish back mould molding face owing to heated once more from the thermal conduction of die ontology portion, the temperature of molding surface can rise lentamente.But,, adjust and force refrigerative intensity for the temperature of mould molding face when casting begins does not reach the temperature that produces heat bonding.In addition, owing to the thermal conduction from melten glass, the temperature of molding surface can sharply rise in casting beginning back.Thus, can form the temperature that can not produce heat bonding, in casting, be rapidly heated to the degree of the even expansion that does not hinder glass at the casting initial stage.After the casting, heating mould to the degree that do not crack is carried out air-cooled simultaneously to melten glass from the top, with glass cools to the temperature that can take out.
As mentioned above, owing to the pressure cooling of forming mould is carried out at the molding surface of mould, therefore forcing cooling end aftershaping surface temperature to recover in advance.When beginning casting die temperature drop to the temperature that does not produce heat bonding, but since subsequently die temperature rises naturally, so can not hinder also that glass does not evenly stretch when casting.That is to say that above-mentioned pressure cooling can realize that local temperature reduces and temperature is recovered in advance.Thereby the heating of forming mould can utilize constant power to carry out usually.In the present invention, for example can be with the temperature maintenance of forming mould body at about 200~400 ℃.Can certainly adopt at the temperature method for optimizing that from the process that is poured into taking-up, makes forming mould.But, the temperature of forming mould is changed with the position on rotary table is different, it is complicated that device can become, and cost increases easily.And the high efficiency of forming system for be about for 10~30 seconds from the time that is poured into taking-up is difficult to controlled temperature exactly sometimes.Thereby for such high efficiency of forming, it is effective especially before will casting the forming mould molding surface being forced refrigerative method of the present invention.
On the other hand, open utilization is thermoelectric to monitoring the temperature of forming mould often, according to the method for controlling die temperature from the stage that is poured into taking-up (for example No. the 2798208th, Japanese Patent).
But, because forming mould thermal capacity is big, thus after taking-up to the short period of time that begins to cast, even with the well heater outage, most cases can not reduce die temperature.Particularly the situation of casting is repeatedly expeditiously only used about 10 seconds from being taken out to casting, therefore reduces very difficulty of die temperature.And, even die temperature reduces, but since not only molding surface but also all temperature of mould all can reduce, thereby the rate of heating after the casting can be slack-off.On the contrary, in the present invention since the skin section that can be cooled to profile molding surface central authorities particularly therefore have casting back temperature and recover fast advantage.
In addition, according to the present invention, since the temperature variation that can make forming mould naturally to be suitable for casting, the temperature of floating moulding, taking-up, therefore for example the pre-frothing body number of time per unit moulding can be increased to more than or equal to 20/minute, the forming mould that recycles also can be dealt with 10~18 of few numbers.Because the forming mould costliness is used to exceed necessary number, aspect cost, can have problems, and adjust also bothersome.In addition,, thereby also bring big burden for the transfer device of forming mould, be difficult to rotary table at high speed because all the weight of forming mould also becomes greatly.Can address the above problem according to the present invention.
