Description

この発明は、光ファイバ母材の脱水焼結装置脱水焼結装置及び光ファイバ母材の脱水焼結装置における炉心管保全方法に関し、特に炉心管の内部で光ファイバ母材が膨張したために炉心管が破裂するのを防止する機能を備えた光ファイバ母材の脱水焼結装置と、その光ファイバ母材の脱水焼結装置における炉心管保全方法に関する。 The present invention relates to an optical fiber preform dehydration and sintering apparatus and an optical fiber preform dehydration and sintering apparatus , and more particularly to a furnace core maintenance method in an optical fiber preform dehydration and sintering apparatus. TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an optical fiber preform dehydration and sintering apparatus having a function of preventing the explosion of the optical fiber preform and a core tube maintenance method in the optical fiber preform dehydration and sintering apparatus .

図4を参照するに、従来、光ファイバ母材の脱水焼結装置101は、特許文献1及び特許文献2に示されているように、脱水焼結用ガスとして塩素等の腐食性ガスを使用し、炉心管103の内部でワークとしての光ファイバ母材105(スート母材)を加熱してOH基を除去している。すなわち、脱水焼結すべき光ファイバ母材105が炉心管103内に収容される。前記炉心管103の外側には、光ファイバ母材105を加熱するヒータ107が配置されている。なお、炉心管103の外周には、前記ヒータ107を断熱材を介して収容する炉体109が配置されている。さらに、炉心管103と炉体109の内部には脱水焼結用ガスが供給される。   Referring to FIG. 4, conventionally, an optical fiber preform dehydrating and sintering apparatus 101 uses a corrosive gas such as chlorine as a dehydrating and sintering gas as shown in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2. Then, the optical fiber preform 105 (soot preform) as a workpiece is heated inside the furnace core tube 103 to remove OH groups. That is, the optical fiber preform 105 to be dehydrated and sintered is accommodated in the furnace core tube 103. A heater 107 that heats the optical fiber preform 105 is disposed outside the furnace core tube 103. A furnace body 109 that houses the heater 107 via a heat insulating material is disposed on the outer periphery of the core tube 103. Further, dehydration sintering gas is supplied into the furnace core tube 103 and the furnace body 109.

すなわち、脱水焼結用ガスは炉心管103の下部側から供給側ガス管路111を経て供給される。一方、炉心管103内の脱水焼結用ガスは炉心管103の上部側から排気側ガス管路113を経て排気される。   That is, the dehydration sintering gas is supplied from the lower side of the furnace core tube 103 via the supply side gas pipe 111. On the other hand, the dehydration and sintering gas in the core tube 103 is exhausted from the upper side of the core tube 103 through the exhaust side gas pipe 113.

また、炉心管103と炉体109の内部のガス圧力が図示しない差圧計で比較され、炉心管103内のガス圧力が所定の圧力となるように図示しない電動弁で制御される。また、炉心管103には、その内部圧力の変動を吸収する図示しない圧力変動吸収容器が接続されている。

Further, the gas pressure inside the furnace core tube 103 and the furnace body 109 is compared by a differential pressure gauge (not shown), and is controlled by an electric valve (not shown) so that the gas pressure in the furnace core tube 103 becomes a predetermined pressure. The core tube 103 is connected to a pressure fluctuation absorption container (not shown) that absorbs fluctuations in the internal pressure.

ところで、従来の光ファイバ母材の脱水焼結装置101においては、図4に示されているように、例えばヒータ107の設定不具合等によって光ファイバ母材105が溶けて膨張したために炉心管103内を閉塞させてしまい、脱水焼結用ガスの排気の流れを妨げることが生じる。そのために炉心管103の一部の内圧が過剰となり、炉心管103が破裂して脱水焼結用ガスが外部に漏れるといった事故が発生する可能性があった。   By the way, in the conventional optical fiber preform dehydration and sintering apparatus 101, as shown in FIG. 4, the optical fiber preform 105 is melted and expanded due to, for example, a setting failure of the heater 107. May be blocked, and the flow of exhaust gas for dehydration sintering may be hindered. For this reason, an internal pressure of a part of the core tube 103 becomes excessive, and there is a possibility that an accident occurs in which the core tube 103 bursts and the dehydration sintering gas leaks to the outside.

以上のごとき課題を解決するための手段から理解されるように、この発明の請求項1請求項によれば、ヒータの設定不具合等によって光ファイバ母材が溶けて膨張したために炉心管内を閉塞した場合、圧力検出装置で検出した測定値が予め設定した設定値を超えると、開放側バルブが作動してガス圧調整用管路を開放するので、供給側ガス管路の脱水焼結用ガスはガス圧調整用管路を経て外部へ排気される。その結果、炉心管が破裂して脱水焼結用ガスが外に漏れるといった事故を防止することができ、運転時の安全性および装置の保全性を向上できる。 As can be understood from the means for solving the above problems, according to the first to fourth aspects of the present invention, since the optical fiber preform melts and expands due to a heater setting failure or the like, the inside of the furnace core tube is expanded. In the case of blockage, if the measured value detected by the pressure detector exceeds the preset value, the open side valve is activated to open the gas pressure adjustment line. The gas is exhausted to the outside through a gas pressure adjusting pipe. As a result, it is possible to prevent an accident in which the core tube is ruptured and the dehydration and sintering gas leaks to the outside, and the safety during operation and the maintenance of the apparatus can be improved.

以下、この発明の実施の形態について図面を参照して説明する。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

図1を参照するに、第1の実施の形態に係る光ファイバ母材の脱水焼結装置1は、脱水焼結する光ファイバ母材3(スート母材)を収容する炉心管5と、この炉心管5の外周で前記光ファイバ母材3を加熱するヒータ7を備えた加熱炉9が備えられている。   Referring to FIG. 1, an optical fiber preform dehydration and sintering apparatus 1 according to a first embodiment includes a core tube 5 that houses an optical fiber preform 3 (soot preform) to be dehydrated and sintered, A heating furnace 9 having a heater 7 for heating the optical fiber preform 3 on the outer periphery of the furnace core tube 5 is provided.

また、炉心管5の上方には、前記光ファイバ母材3を把持して軸線回りに回転するためのスート回転駆動部11が昇降自在に設けられている。   A soot rotation drive unit 11 for holding the optical fiber preform 3 and rotating around the axis is provided above the core tube 5 so as to be movable up and down.

さらに、前記炉心管5の下部側には、その炉心管5と前記加熱炉9に脱水焼結用ガスを供給する供給側ガス管路13が連通しており、前記炉心管5の上部側には、前記炉心管5と前記加熱炉9の内部の脱水焼結用ガスを排気する排気側ガス管路15が連通している。   Further, a supply side gas pipe 13 for supplying dehydration sintering gas to the furnace core tube 5 and the heating furnace 9 communicates with the lower side of the core tube 5. Is connected to an exhaust gas line 15 for exhausting the dehydration and sintering gas inside the furnace core tube 5 and the heating furnace 9.

なお、第1の実施の形態では、脱水焼結用ガスとしては、ヘリウムガス(He)、酸素(O)、塩素ガス (Cl)等の腐食性ガスが用いられる。 In the first embodiment, a corrosive gas such as helium gas (He), oxygen (O 2 ), or chlorine gas (Cl 2 ) is used as the dehydration sintering gas.

この実施の形態では、上記の供給側ガス管路13は、焼結用ガス管路としての例えばヘリウムガス(He)用のヘリウムガス管路17と、酸素(O) 用の酸素ガス管路19と、脱水用ガス管路としての例えば塩素ガス (Cl) 用の塩素ガス管路21が連結されている。 In this embodiment, the supply side gas pipe 13 includes, for example, a helium gas pipe 17 for helium gas (He) as a sintering gas pipe, and an oxygen gas pipe for oxygen (O 2 ). 19 and a chlorine gas pipe 21 for, for example, chlorine gas (Cl 2 ) as a dehydrating gas pipe are connected.

また、ヘリウムガス管路17には、ヘリウムガス供給時に開放するヘリウムガス開放バルブ23が介設されており、酸素ガス管路19には、酸素ガス供給時に開放する酸素ガス開放バルブ25が介設されており、塩素ガス管路21には、塩素ガス供給時に開放する塩素ガス開放バルブ27が介設されている。   The helium gas conduit 17 is provided with a helium gas release valve 23 that is opened when helium gas is supplied, and the oxygen gas conduit 19 is provided with an oxygen gas release valve 25 that is opened when oxygen gas is supplied. The chlorine gas pipe 21 is provided with a chlorine gas release valve 27 that opens when the chlorine gas is supplied.

また、上記のヘリウムガス管路17には、そのヘリウムガス管路17内の圧力を検出する圧力検出装置としての例えば圧力センサ29が設置されている。上述したヘリウムガス開放バルブ23は、ヘリウムガス供給時は常時は開放し、かつ前記圧力センサ29で検出した測定値が予め設定した設定値を超えた場合に前記ヘリウムガス管路17を閉塞するものである。   The helium gas pipe 17 is provided with, for example, a pressure sensor 29 as a pressure detecting device for detecting the pressure in the helium gas pipe 17. The above-described helium gas release valve 23 is normally opened when helium gas is supplied, and closes the helium gas conduit 17 when the measured value detected by the pressure sensor 29 exceeds a preset value. It is.

さらに、前記炉心管5と前記圧力センサ29との間の供給側ガス管路13には、その供給側ガス管路13内の脱水焼結用ガスを排気するためのガス圧調整用管路31が連結されており、このガス圧調整用管路31には、常時は閉塞し、かつ前記圧力センサ29で検出した測定値が予め設定した設定値を超えた場合にガス圧調整用管路31を開放するための開放側バルブ33が設けられている。   Further, a gas pressure adjusting line 31 for exhausting the dehydration sintering gas in the supply side gas line 13 is provided in the supply side gas line 13 between the furnace core tube 5 and the pressure sensor 29. Is connected to the gas pressure adjusting pipe 31. When the measured value detected by the pressure sensor 29 exceeds a preset value, the gas pressure adjusting pipe 31 is closed. An open side valve 33 is provided for opening the valve.

第1の実施の形態では、前記設定値は0.008MPa(8kPa)としている。   In the first embodiment, the set value is set to 0.008 MPa (8 kPa).

なお、第1の実施の形態では、前記圧力センサ29がヘリウムガス管路17に設けられているのは、厳密に言えば、光ファイバ母材3が溶けて膨張したために炉心管5内を閉塞させる可能性があるのは、塩素ガス (Cl)を使用するときの脱水時ではなく、ヘリウムガス(He)を使用するときの焼結時であるので、基本的には焼結用のガスとしてのヘリウムガス(He)を供給する供給側ガス管路(ヘリウムガス管路17)の圧力を検出するように設置している。 In the first embodiment, the pressure sensor 29 is provided in the helium gas pipe 17 because, strictly speaking, the core tube 5 is closed because the optical fiber preform 3 is melted and expanded. Since there is a possibility that it is not during dehydration when using chlorine gas (Cl 2 ) but during sintering when helium gas (He) is used, the gas for sintering is basically used. Is installed so as to detect the pressure of the supply side gas line (helium gas line 17) for supplying helium gas (He).

上記構成により、脱水焼結すべき光ファイバ母材3を脱水焼結する際に、光ファイバ母材3が炉心管5の上方のスート回転駆動部11により把持されて軸線回りに回転しながら下降して炉心管5内に収容される。脱水焼結用ガスは供給側ガス管路13を経て炉心管5の下部からその炉心管5と加熱炉9の内部に供給されてから、炉心管5の上部から排気側ガス管路15を経て排気される。   With the above configuration, when the optical fiber preform 3 to be dehydrated and sintered is dehydrated and sintered, the optical fiber preform 3 is held by the soot rotation drive unit 11 above the core tube 5 and is lowered while rotating around the axis. And accommodated in the core tube 5. The dehydration and sintering gas is supplied from the lower part of the core tube 5 to the inside of the core tube 5 and the heating furnace 9 through the supply side gas line 13 and then from the upper part of the core tube 5 through the exhaust side gas line 15. Exhausted.

炉心管5内に収容された光ファイバ母材3は、炉心管5の外側に設けた加熱炉9により炉心管5の内部で加熱されてOH基が除去されることになる。このとき、例えば、ヒータ7の設定不具合等によって光ファイバ母材3が溶けて膨張したために炉心管5内を閉塞した場合、脱水焼結用ガスが排気側ガス管路15から排気されないために、炉心管5内の圧力が高くなる。すると、供給側ガス管路13の圧力も高くなるために圧力センサ29で検出した測定値が予め設定した設定値の0.008MPa(8kPa)を超えることになる。   The optical fiber preform 3 accommodated in the furnace core tube 5 is heated inside the furnace core tube 5 by a heating furnace 9 provided outside the furnace core tube 5 to remove OH groups. At this time, for example, when the inside of the core tube 5 is closed because the optical fiber preform 3 is melted and expanded due to a setting failure of the heater 7 or the like, the dehydration sintering gas is not exhausted from the exhaust side gas conduit 15. The pressure in the furnace core tube 5 is increased. Then, since the pressure of the supply side gas pipeline 13 also increases, the measured value detected by the pressure sensor 29 exceeds the preset value of 0.008 MPa (8 kPa).

この時、ヘリウムガス開放バルブ23が作動してヘリウムガス管路17を閉塞してヘリウムガス供給を停止すると同時に、開放側バルブ33が作動してガス圧調整用管路31を開放するので、供給側ガス管路13並びに炉心管5内の脱水焼結用ガスはガス圧調整用管路31を経てガス抜き口から外部へ排気されるインターロックとなる。その結果、炉心管5が破裂して脱水焼結用ガスが外に漏れるといった事故を防止することができ、運転時の安全性および装置の保全性を向上できる。   At this time, the helium gas release valve 23 is operated to close the helium gas pipe line 17 to stop the helium gas supply, and at the same time, the open side valve 33 is operated to open the gas pressure adjusting pipe line 31. The dehydration and sintering gas in the side gas pipe 13 and the furnace core pipe 5 is an interlock that is exhausted to the outside from the gas vent through the gas pressure adjusting pipe 31. As a result, it is possible to prevent an accident in which the core tube 5 is ruptured and the dehydration and sintering gas leaks to the outside, and the safety during operation and the maintenance of the apparatus can be improved.

なお、開放側バルブ33によりガス圧調整用管路31が開放すれば、供給側ガス管路13と連通する炉心管5内の圧力は前記圧力センサ29の設定値より高くならないので、上記のヘリウムガス開放バルブ23は必ずしも設けなくてもよい。すなわち、Heが供給されつづけてもガス圧調整用管路31から排気されることになるので、炉心管5の内部の圧力は高くならない。   If the gas pressure adjusting pipe 31 is opened by the open side valve 33, the pressure in the reactor core pipe 5 communicating with the supply side gas pipe 13 does not become higher than the set value of the pressure sensor 29. The gas release valve 23 is not necessarily provided. That is, even if He is continuously supplied, the gas pressure adjusting pipe 31 is exhausted, so that the pressure inside the core tube 5 does not increase.

次に、第2の実施の形態に係る光ファイバ母材の脱水焼結装置35について図面を参照して説明する。なお、第1の実施の形態に係る光ファイバ母材3の脱水焼結装置1と同様の部材は同じ符号を付して特に異なる点を説明し、同様の部分についての詳細な説明は省略する。   Next, an optical fiber preform dehydrating and sintering apparatus 35 according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. The same members as those in the dehydration and sintering apparatus 1 for the optical fiber preform 3 according to the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and particularly different points will be described, and detailed description of the same parts will be omitted. .

図2を参照するに、この光ファイバ母材の脱水焼結装置35は、ヘリウムガス管路17と酸素ガス管路19と塩素ガス管路21を連結した供給側ガス管路13に、その供給側ガス管路13内の圧力を検出する圧力センサ29が設置されている。さらに、前記圧力センサ29と前記炉心管5との間の供給側ガス管路13には、常時は開放し、かつ前記圧力センサ29で検出した測定値が予め設定した設定値を超えた場合に前記供給側ガス管路13を閉塞するための閉塞側バルブ37が設けられている。さらに、前記閉塞側バルブ37と前記圧力センサ29との間の供給側ガス管路13には、その供給側ガス管路13内の脱水焼結用ガスを排気するためのガス圧調整用管路31が連結されており、このガス圧調整用管路31には、常時は閉塞し、かつ前記圧力センサ29で検出した測定値が予め設定した設定値を超えた場合にガス圧調整用管路31を開放するための開放側バルブ33が設けられている。   Referring to FIG. 2, this optical fiber preform dehydration and sintering apparatus 35 is supplied to a supply side gas line 13 in which a helium gas line 17, an oxygen gas line 19, and a chlorine gas line 21 are connected. A pressure sensor 29 for detecting the pressure in the side gas pipe 13 is installed. Further, when the supply side gas line 13 between the pressure sensor 29 and the core tube 5 is always open and the measured value detected by the pressure sensor 29 exceeds a preset value, A closing side valve 37 for closing the supply side gas pipe 13 is provided. Further, a gas pressure adjusting pipe for exhausting the dehydration sintering gas in the supply side gas pipe 13 is provided in the supply side gas pipe 13 between the closing side valve 37 and the pressure sensor 29. 31 is connected to the gas pressure adjusting pipe 31. When the measured value detected by the pressure sensor 29 exceeds a preset value, the gas pressure adjusting pipe 31 is normally closed. An open side valve 33 for opening 31 is provided.

第2の実施の形態でも、第1の実施の形態と同様に、前記設定値は0.008MPa(8kPa)としている。   Also in the second embodiment, the set value is set to 0.008 MPa (8 kPa), as in the first embodiment.

上記構成により、例えば、ヒータ7の設定不具合等によって光ファイバ母材3が溶けて膨張したために炉心管5内を閉塞した場合、炉心管5並びに供給側ガス管路13の圧力も高くなるために圧力センサ29で検出した測定値が予め設定した設定値の0.008MPa(8kPa)を超えることになる。   With the above configuration, for example, when the inside of the core tube 5 is closed because the optical fiber preform 3 is melted and expanded due to a setting failure of the heater 7 or the like, the pressure in the core tube 5 and the supply side gas conduit 13 is also increased. The measured value detected by the pressure sensor 29 exceeds the preset value of 0.008 MPa (8 kPa).

この時、閉塞側バルブ37が作動して供給側ガス管路13を閉塞すると同時に、開放側バルブ33が作動してガス圧調整用管路31を開放するので、供給側ガス管路13の脱水焼結用ガスは炉心管5へ供給されず、ガス圧調整用管路31を経てガス抜き口から外部へ排気されることになる。その結果、炉心管5が破裂して脱水焼結用ガスが外に漏れるといった事故を防止することができ、運転時の安全性および装置の保全性を向上できる。   At this time, the closing side valve 37 is actuated to close the supply side gas pipeline 13, and at the same time, the opening side valve 33 is actuated to open the gas pressure adjusting conduit 31. The sintering gas is not supplied to the furnace core tube 5 but is exhausted to the outside from the gas vent through the gas pressure adjusting conduit 31. As a result, it is possible to prevent an accident in which the core tube 5 is ruptured and the dehydration and sintering gas leaks to the outside, and the safety during operation and the maintenance of the apparatus can be improved.

なお、開放側バルブ33によりガス圧調整用管路31が開放すれば、供給側ガス管路13と連通する炉心管5内の圧力は前記圧力センサ29の設定値より高くならないので、上記の閉塞側バルブ37は必ずしも設けなくてもよい。   If the gas pressure adjusting pipe 31 is opened by the open side valve 33, the pressure in the core tube 5 communicating with the supply side gas pipe 13 does not become higher than the set value of the pressure sensor 29. The side valve 37 is not necessarily provided.

次に、第3の実施の形態に係る光ファイバ母材の脱水焼結装置39について図面を参照して説明する。なお、第1、第2の実施の形態に係る光ファイバ母材の脱水焼結装置1、35と同様の部材は同じ符号を付して特に異なる点を説明し、同様の部分についての詳細な説明は省略する。   Next, an optical fiber preform dehydrating and sintering apparatus 39 according to a third embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. The same members as those of the optical fiber preform dehydrating and sintering apparatuses 1 and 35 according to the first and second embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and particularly different points are described. Description is omitted.

図3を参照するに、この光ファイバ母材の脱水焼結装置39は、焼結用ガス管路としての例えばヘリウムガス管路17と酸素ガス管路19と脱水用ガス管路としての例えば塩素ガス管路21を連結した供給側ガス管路13に、その供給側ガス管路13内の脱水焼結用ガスを排気するためのガス圧調整用管路31が連結されており、このガス圧調整用管路31には、常時は閉塞し、かつ供給側ガス管路13の圧力が予め設定した設定値を超えた場合に前記供給側ガス管路13内の脱水焼結用ガスを排気すべく動作する安全バルブ41が設けられている。   Referring to FIG. 3, this optical fiber preform dehydrating and sintering apparatus 39 includes, for example, a helium gas line 17 and an oxygen gas line 19 as a sintering gas line, and chlorine as a dehydrating gas line, for example. A gas pressure adjusting pipe 31 for exhausting the dehydration and sintering gas in the supply side gas pipe 13 is connected to the supply side gas pipe 13 to which the gas pipe 21 is connected. The adjustment pipe 31 is normally closed, and the dehydration and sintering gas in the supply side gas pipe 13 is exhausted when the pressure of the supply side gas pipe 13 exceeds a preset value. A safety valve 41 is provided which operates accordingly.

第3の実施の形態でも、第1、第2の実施の形態と同様に、前記設定値は0.008MPa(8kPa)としている。   Also in the third embodiment, the set value is set to 0.008 MPa (8 kPa), as in the first and second embodiments.

上記構成により、例えば、ヒータ7の設定不具合等によって光ファイバ母材3が溶けて膨張したために炉心管5内を閉塞し、供給側ガス管路13内の圧力が予め設定した設定値の0.008MPa(8kPa)を超える時、安全バルブ41が作動して供給側ガス管路13の脱水焼結用ガスがガス圧調整用管路31を経てガス抜き口から外部へ排気されることになる。その結果、炉心管5が破裂して脱水焼結用ガスが外に漏れるといった事故を防止することができ、運転時の安全性および装置の保全性を向上できる。   With the above configuration, for example, because the optical fiber preform 3 is melted and expanded due to a setting failure of the heater 7 or the like, the inside of the core tube 5 is closed, and the pressure in the supply side gas pipe 13 is set to a preset value of 0. When the pressure exceeds 008 MPa (8 kPa), the safety valve 41 is operated, and the dehydration and sintering gas in the supply side gas line 13 is exhausted from the gas vent through the gas pressure adjusting line 31 to the outside. As a result, it is possible to prevent an accident in which the core tube 5 is ruptured and the dehydration and sintering gas leaks to the outside, and the safety during operation and the maintenance of the apparatus can be improved.

なお、上記の安全バルブ41は、前述した第1の実施の形態と同様に、焼結用のガスとしてのヘリウムガス(He)を供給するための焼結用ガス管路としての例えばヘリウムガス管路17に設けることができる。また、この安全バルブ41を使用する方式は、炉心管5が破裂しないように供給側のガス圧が設定値を超えないように制御することができるので、外付焼結炉に有効に適用することができる。   The safety valve 41 is, for example, a helium gas pipe as a sintering gas line for supplying helium gas (He) as a sintering gas, as in the first embodiment. It can be provided in the path 17. Further, the method using the safety valve 41 can be controlled effectively so that the gas pressure on the supply side does not exceed the set value so that the core tube 5 does not rupture. be able to.
