Abstract

PURPOSE:To readily obtain an inexpensive glass tube with a high accuracy, by optically measuring the diameter of a glass tube in a high-temperature state, feeding the results back to control of pressure of air blown into the glass tube and drawing amount and adjusting the form. CONSTITUTION:A light source is placed on one side of a glass tube in a high- temperature state and a photoelectric sensor is placed on the other side so as to face the light source. The diameter of the glass tube is optically measured. In the process, required error caused by temperature is corrected. The results obtained thereby are fed back to control of pressure of air blown into the glass tube for adjusting the form the drawing amount. Thereby the diameter of the glass tube is adjusted to afford the aimed glass tube of high accuracy.

Conventionally, the diameter of a glass tube has been measured using a caliper 2 or the like when the temperature of the glass tube 1 is low, as shown in FIG.

In the above-mentioned prior art, it is necessary that the glass tube 1 is cooled to such an extent that it does not deform even if it comes into contact with the caliper 2. However, as is well known, in order to uniformly correct the diameter of the glass tube l once it has been cooled, there are only methods such as polishing or dissolution with hydrofluoric acid, which results in high processing costs.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. As shown in Fig. 1, the glass tube 3 is in a high temperature state.
A light source 4 is disposed on one side of the sensor, and a photoelectric sensor 5 is disposed on the other side so as to face the light source 4. The sensor 5 includes a group of light receiving elements arranged one-dimensionally or two-dimensionally.

As shown in Fig. 2, among the light projected from the light source 4, the light that travels in the A direction of the glass tube 3 and does not enter the tube wall at a right angle has a curved optical path and an angle formed by the incident light and the tube wall. When the angle approaches the critical angle, total reflection occurs, so the output signal value of the light receiving element group of the sensor 5 shown in FIG. 1 takes on a sharp shape as shown in the output distribution 6 shown in FIG. 2. If you read the lengths A and H shown in Fig. 2, A is the outer diameter of the glass tube 3, B is the inner diameter, (A
-B)/2 determines the wall thickness.

At this time, there are three factors that cause reading errors. 1st
is a larger value when the glass tube is hot than when it is cooled due to thermal expansion. This can be done by keeping the temperature constant at the time of measurement, measuring the diameter of the glass tube in advance when it is cold, and correcting the actual measurement value using the program. The second case is when the temperature of the air surrounding a high-temperature glass tube increases, the refractive index changes, and the optical path of light passing through the glass tube surface changes. This is also not a problem if the measurement program is corrected in advance. ta3 is
Since the high temperature glass tube emits light, if the light receiving sensor 5 detects this emitted light, an error will occur.

Therefore, it is desirable that the spectral distribution of the light source 4 be monochromatic;
On the light receiving side, it is also necessary to devise a method to selectively detect only the wavelength components from the light source with high sensitivity.
