Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for processing a glass rod having partially thin diameter portions to a glass rod having a uniform outside diameter with an easy and rapid treatment. SOLUTION: The glass rod is fixed between both chucks of a glass lathe and is scanned with an outside diameter measuring instrument along the glass rod. The comparison and computation with the prescribed diameter are executed and the local fine-diameter part and its position are detected. A heating means is moved to the position of the detected fine-diameter part to heat and soften the fine-diameter part. The at least one chuck is moved to shorten the distance between both chucks until the fine-diameter part attains the prescribed diameter, by which the fine-diameter part is increased in the diameter and is processed to the glass rod having the uniform diameter.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, glass rods have been used for various purposes. In particular, glass rods used for optical fibers are not suitable for drawing optical fibers if their outer diameters are not uniform and fluctuate. The opening for inserting the glass rod into the furnace has to be widened by the amount of the fluctuation, which causes a problem in the sealing performance of the drawing furnace. Furthermore, since problems such as a change in the fiber diameter and the characteristics of the fiber occur, it is necessary that the glass rod for an optical fiber has a uniform diameter without a partial diameter change.

If the glass rod having such a locally small diameter portion is submerged as a defective product, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost is increased. For this reason, a method is employed in which a glass rod having a locally small diameter portion is stretched again in accordance with the thinnest portion, but the outer diameter becomes thinner or thicker so that a uniform outer diameter is obtained. There is a problem that the glass rod cannot be stably re-drawn, and it is necessary to re-draw the entire length in accordance with the portion having a small diameter, and it takes a long time for the re-drawing.

Also, instead of setting a glass rod whose outer diameter has been measured in advance on a glass lathe and increasing the diameter of the small diameter portion, setting a glass rod whose outer diameter has not been measured on the glass lathe, The measurement and the increase in the diameter of the small diameter portion can be performed in one step. That is, a glass rod whose outer diameter has not been measured is set on a glass lathe, and an outer diameter measuring device is scanned along the glass rod to measure the outer diameter and perform a comparison operation with the set diameter, thereby obtaining a local fineness. This method detects the diameter portion and its position, and moves the heating means to the detected position of the small diameter portion to increase the diameter of the small diameter portion. As the heating means, burner heating,
Electric resistance heating, high-frequency heating and the like can be mentioned, but burner heating is preferred.

Next, the outer diameter was measured by scanning the outer diameter measuring device along the glass rod to be processed. After setting a processing range based on the small-diameter portion detected by this measurement, the processing range was input to a computer at the position of the outer diameter measuring device. Furthermore, the target outer diameter set value after processing (85 mm
φ) and the relative value between the calculated value obtained by comparing the measured value of the outer diameter of the heating part measured by the outer diameter measuring device with the set value during processing and the set value, the moving speed of the chuck, and the movement of the heating burner. The speed, position, and oxygen and hydrogen gas amounts were input to a computer. In the diameter-increasing process, the diameter of the small-diameter portion is automatically increased based on conditions previously input to a computer. That is, after the processing range is specified, the diameter measurement is automatically started, the burner reaches the processing start position, the glass rod to be processed is rotated at a rotation speed of 25 rpm, oxygen and hydrogen gas are automatically set, heating is started, and softening is started. The burner and the right chuck move at a set speed to increase the diameter of the small diameter portion. During this time, the outer diameter is measured and the calculated value is compared with the set value at set time intervals. Each time, the calculated value information is fed back to the moving speed of the chuck or the burner, and the diameter increasing process automatically proceeds. The finished dimensions of the glass rod processed in this way were a glass rod having an outer diameter of 79.7 mmφ and a diameter variation of 0.57 mm in the longitudinal direction.

As described above, the diameter of the small diameter portion of the glass rod can be easily increased by automatic control in a short time, and a glass rod having a uniform outer diameter can be obtained. Further, since only partial processing of the small diameter portion is sufficient, the processing time is shortened, and the diameter is prevented from becoming too small or too long.
