2. Description of the Related Art Drawing of an optical fiber has been performed by using a drawing device as shown in FIG. That is, the optical fiber preform 1 is heated and melted in the drawing furnace 2 and taken by the lower capstan 12 to form the optical fiber 3. The optical fiber 3 is cooled by a cooling device 4 and then its outer diameter is measured by an outer diameter measuring device 5, and then a first coating layer is applied by a coating resin coating device 6 and a coating resin curing device 7. It becomes the optical fiber strand 8. Similarly, the optical fiber element wire 8 is subjected to a second coating layer by the coating resin coating device 9 and the coating resin curing device 10 to become the optical fiber core wire 11. The optical fiber core wire 11 is taken up by a take-up device (not shown) in the arrow direction via the capstan 12.

The drawing furnace 2 has an upper lid 21 on the upper portion and a lower lid 22 on the lower portion. The upper lid 21 has a preform feed port 23 for feeding the optical fiber preform 1 into the drawing furnace 2, and the lower lid 22 has an optical fiber from which the drawn optical fiber 3 is drawn out. There is a passage opening 24. Further, in the drawing furnace 2, seal gas supply ports 25 and 26 are provided on the core tube side of the upper lid 21 and the lower lid 22 which are connected to the inside of the drawing furnace 2 at the upper and lower portions thereof, respectively. The atmosphere in the drawing furnace 2 is kept clean by flowing an inert gas such as Ar gas, He gas or N 2 gas into the drawing furnace 2 through the sealing gas supply ports 25 and 26. There is.

When the optical fiber preform 1 is heated and melted in the drawing furnace 2 at the start of drawing, the optical fiber is drawn out by the natural weight drop of the weight provided at the tip thereof. When this tip reaches the capstan 12, the tip, which has become the optical fiber core wire 11, passes through the capstan 12 and is set in a winding device (not shown). Until this setting is completed, the position of the optical fiber 3 after drawing is not fixed in the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and is constantly swaying. Therefore, the optical fiber passage port 24 of the drawing furnace 2 must be made large to some extent until the sway of the optical fiber converges.

However, if the passage port 24 is wide open, the atmosphere is likely to enter the drawing furnace 2. Therefore, at this time, a larger amount of inert gas than usual is flowed into the drawing furnace 2 so that the atmosphere does not enter. When the sway of the optical fiber 3 converges and is almost fixed, the optical fiber passage 2
It was necessary to close the lower lid 4, for example, the lower half lid 22 in this case, to make it smaller and reduce the amount of the inert gas flowing in the drawing furnace 2 to a value suitable for drawing.

The optical fiber preform is heated and melted in the drawing furnace, and the free end of the tip thereof starts the drawing. The tip reaches a capstan through a coating resin coating device, a coating resin curing device, etc., and is then set on the capstan to start a normal optical fiber drawing process. Before entering this steady-state drawing step, that is, immediately after the start of drawing, for a while, especially before the tip is set in the winding device, the optical fiber is swaying and its position in the plane perpendicular to its longitudinal direction is swayed. Is not stable. Immediately after the fluctuation of the optical fiber becomes small, the lower lid of the heating furnace, for example, the lower lid of the half is closed to reduce the optical fiber passage opening. Actually, the operator visually measures the optical fiber shake, and when the optical fiber shake converges within a certain range, the lower lid of the drawing furnace is moved, specifically closed to reduce the optical fiber passage opening. In addition, the amount of inert gas flowing in the drawing furnace was adjusted. for that reason,
Depending on the operator, the measured value may fluctuate. Also, there were cases in which the lower lid was forgotten to be closed, or the order of the work was wrong, and outside air entered the drawing furnace.
As a result, many defects may be found in the manufactured optical fiber core wire.

Further, the worker must also work at the lowermost part of the drawing device to apply the falling drawing end to a capstan or the like. Therefore, after first setting the optical fiber preform in the drawing device, the worker moves to the bottom and sets the tip of the optical fiber in the capstan or winding device, and then returns to the uppermost drawing furnace part again. I had to close the bottom lid of the heating furnace. Therefore, the operator has to move from the uppermost part to the lowermost part of the drawing device in a short time, which is a heavy burden.
