本発明は細長いガラス棒の表面を均一に化学エツチング
する方法に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for uniformly chemically etching the surface of an elongated glass rod.
本発明方法は広汎な用途に適用し得るが、以下自己集束
性レンズの製造工程を例にとって説明する。The method of the present invention can be applied to a wide range of applications, and will be explained below by taking the manufacturing process of a self-focusing lens as an example.
自己集束レンズは周知のように屈折率が中心細上で最大

、このエツチングは従来第を図に示すような方法をとっ
ていた。As is well known, a self-focusing lens is a lens body with a distribution in which the refractive index is maximum at the center and gradually decreases towards the periphery, and such a self-focusing lens is free from flare light (which has a negative effect on image quality). For the purpose of removing stray light, etc., the peripheral surface of the lens is chemically etched to create fine irregularities, and this etching has conventionally been done using the method shown in Figure 1.

布が付けられた一例として直径約/mm長さ/m前後の
細長いレンズ母材ガラス棒lの多数を、保持具2に吊り

。That is, as an example of a lens having a refractive index distribution after ion exchange in a molten salt bath, a large number of elongated lens base material glass rods each having a diameter of approximately /mm and a length of approximately /m are suspended from a holder 2. This is a method of immersing it in etching solution 3 and leaving it still.

ラス棒長さ方向で高度に均一な線径であってもエツチン
グ処理後に場所による大きな線径差を生6’るという問
題があった。In the conventional method described above, as time passes, reaction products between the glass and the etching solution adhere to the surface of the glass rod l, and this adhesion becomes an obstacle, causing a rapid decrease in the etching rate as a whole. Since the amount of marking on the kimono is uneven depending on the location, the etching speed and large variations occur in the length direction of the glass rod. For this reason, even if the wire diameter is highly uniform in the length direction of the glass rod before the etching process, there is a problem in that after the etching process, there is a large difference in the wire diameter depending on the location.
このような線径のバラツキは母材ガラス棒lを所定長さ
に切断して製造されるレンズ群を集束配列してレンズア
レイとした場合に配列の乱れ、画質の低下等の原因とな
るのでレンズ母材ガラス棒の線径は高度に均一であるこ
とが必要である。Such variations in wire diameter will cause irregularities in the arrangement and deterioration of image quality when a lens array is produced by cutting the base material glass rod l to a predetermined length and converging and arranging the lenses. The wire diameter of the lens base material glass rod needs to be highly uniform.

前記ガラス棒の適宜数を吊り下げ保持し、このガラス棒
を内蔵した上記筒体をエツチング液中に垂直に浸漬した
状態で上下動させる。In order to prevent the above-mentioned etching unevenness, the glass is placed in a cylindrical body with a uniform diameter in the longitudinal direction, which is long enough to cover the entire length of the glass body to be etched, and which is open at both ends. An appropriate number of rods are suspended and held, and the cylindrical body containing the glass rods is vertically immersed in the etching solution and moved up and down.

に、迅速に大量処理を行なうことができる。As the cylinder moves up and down, the etching liquid moves in the cylinder along the length of the cylinder, that is, along the length of the glass rod in the cylinder. In this way, the etching solution appears to flow over the surface of the glass rod, so that reactants formed on the glass surface are immediately washed away, and new glass surfaces are always brought into contact with fresh etching solution. As a result, etching progresses uniformly over the entire length of the glass rod, making it possible to maintain a high degree of uniformity in wire diameter even after etching, and also allowing rapid mass processing.

面積が大になるほど本発明方法の優利性が増し、大量処
理に効果を発揮する。In addition, the cylindrical body of the present invention has the effect of rectifying the flow of the etching liquid that comes into contact with the glass rod to generate a laminar flow along the length of the glass rod, and when descending, the lower end of the suspended glass rod It plays a role in preventing diffusion and movement. Furthermore, compared to the case where the etching bath is fixed and the etching solution is flowed by a pump, it is easier to generate a high-speed liquid flow without causing any disturbance to the flow, and the larger the cross-sectional area of the liquid flow, the more The advantages of the invented method are increased and it is effective in mass processing.

An elevating body 12, which is moved up and down by an external drive device (not shown) K, is immersed in the etching solution, and a large number of glass rods 13 to be etched are suspended from this elevating body 12. More specifically, as shown in FIG.
It is constructed by fixing a plurality of (six in the illustrated example) vertically. These straightening cylinders IS are cylinders made of materials such as stainless steel and synthetic resin that are corrosion resistant to etching solutions.Both ends are open, and the inner diameter is uniform over the entire length. L2 is longer than the length Ll of the glass rod 13 suspended and held in this cylinder.

垂下状態で吊り下げ保持される。That is, the hanging tool /4 has a structure in which a perforated plate /g is fixed to the lower end of the bar material 17 that is placed on the upper edge of the cylinder /j and locked. The glass rods are passed through the hanging holes/walls provided in large numbers. A spherical head 13k having a diameter larger than the wire diameter is previously formed at the upper end of the glass rod 3 by a method such as local melting of the glass rod, while the diameter of the hole 19 in the perforated plate /3
The diameter of the glass rod 3A is larger than that of the wire and smaller than the diameter of the head 3A, so that the glass rod 3 is held hanging freely between the perforated plate 3A.
