2. Description of the Related Art A general sintering process in manufacturing an optical fiber preform is shown in FIGS. That is,
A heating part 3 such as a heater and a heat retaining part 4 covering the heating part 3 from the outside are installed on the outer periphery of a cylindrical muffle 2 of an inclined heating furnace (sintering furnace) 1, and the muffle 2 is shown in FIG. As shown, the glass fine particles 6 supported by the support rods 5.

In this sintering process, the glass fine particles 6
The insertion speed, that is, the sintering speed, is determined by the heating temperature and the temperature distribution around the heating part 3. Generally, when the length of the heat zone in the high temperature part is long (wide), compared to when it is narrow. Even if the insertion speed is increased, the amount of heat received by any one fine particle can be the same, so that the sintering time can be shortened. That is, productivity can be improved.

Therefore, it is possible to increase the length of the high temperature heat zone. The length of the heat zone is determined by the length of the heating heater, the temperature of the heater, the shape and material of the heat insulating material of the heat retaining portion, and as shown in FIGS. When the heat retaining portion 14 was vertically lengthened to be large-sized, a temperature distribution as shown by the curve L 2 was obtained, and the length of the high temperature portion heat zone L 2a could be considerably increased. The length of this heat zone L 2a is set as shown in FIG.
As compared with the heat zone L 1a shown in FIG. 8, the length was about twice as long. As a result, about twice as much insertion speed could be realized and the sintering time could be greatly shortened.
