Description

소결용 커플러 결합장치{A combination device of coupler for sintering}Coupler Coupler for Sintering {A combination device of coupler for sintering}

본 발명은 소결용 커플러 결합장치에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 외부기상증착 공법으로 제조된 광섬유 모재를 소결로에서 소결하는 장치 중 커플러 장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a coupler coupling device for sintering, and more particularly to a coupler device of the apparatus for sintering the optical fiber base material prepared by the external vapor deposition method in the sintering furnace.

광섬유모재를 소결하는 공법으로서는 기상축 증착 공법(VAD; Vapor-phase Axial Deposition), 외부기상증착 공법(OVD; Outside Vapor Deposition) 등이 있는 바, 외부기상증착 공정은 현재 사용되는 광섬유 제조공정의 하나로서 증착율이 높고 모재를 크게 만들 수 있는 장점이 있으며, 토치로부터 분사된 연료인 H2, O2등이 연소하여 이들과 함께 생성 분출된 SiCl4, GeCl4등의 산화 및 가수분해에 의해 발생한 SiO2, GeO2등의 입자를 회전하는 실린더에 부착시키는 공정이다.The sintering method of the fiber base material includes Vapor-phase Axial Deposition (VAD) and Outside Vapor Deposition (OVD). As a result, the deposition rate is high and the base material can be made large, and SiO 2 generated by oxidation and hydrolysis of SiCl 4 , GeCl 4, etc., generated and ejected together with H 2 , O 2 , fuel injected from the torch, is combusted. 2 , GeO 2 and the like are attached to a rotating cylinder.

광섬유 모재를 생성하는 주입자인 SiO2는 원료물질 SiCl4가 CH4/O2연소생성물인 H2O와의 가수분해 반응을 거쳐 만들어 지거나, 1100℃ 이상에서 운반기체 O2와의 직접적인 산화반응으로 형성되는데 다음과 같은 반응이 일어난다.SiO 2 , an injector for producing an optical fiber base material, is formed through the hydrolysis reaction of the raw material SiCl 4 with H 2 O, a combustion product of CH 4 / O 2 , or by direct oxidation with a carrier gas O 2 above 1100 ° C. The following reactions occur:

SiCl4+ 2H2O →SiO2+ 4HCl (가수분해반응)SiCl 4 + 2H 2 O → SiO 2 + 4HCl (hydrolysis)

SiCl4+ 2O2→SiO2+ 2Cl2(산화반응)SiCl 4 + 2O 2 → SiO 2 + 2Cl 2 (oxidation reaction)

이 때 SiO2, GeO2등은 충돌, 응집 등의 과정을 거쳐 직경 0.2㎛ 정도의 입자가 되며 회전하는 모재에 부착된다.At this time, SiO 2 , GeO 2, and the like are particles having a diameter of about 0.2 μm through collision, agglomeration, and the like, and are attached to the rotating base material.

각 패스(pass)마다 화학가스 SiCl4, GeCl4등의 조성을 변화시켜 원하는 굴절율 분포를 갖도록 하며 원하는 증착두께가 되면 모봉을 입자 부착층으로부터 분리시켜 제거한 후 1400 ~ 1600℃의 온도를 유지하는 로(furnace)에서 건조 및 소결과정을 거쳐 모재상태로 제조한다.Change the composition of the chemical gases SiCl 4 , GeCl 4, etc. in each pass to have the desired refractive index distribution, and when the desired deposition thickness is reached, remove the woolen from the particle adhesion layer, and then maintain the temperature of 1400 ~ 1600 ℃. After the drying and sintering process in the furnace) to prepare a base material.

소결과정을 진행할 때는 증착입자 중 SiOH에 의한 흡수손실을 방지하기 위하여 Cl2및 He 가스를 흘려보내면서 소결하게 되는데 다음과 같은 반응이 일어나게 된다.In the sintering process, in order to prevent absorption loss due to SiOH among the deposited particles, sintering is carried out while flowing Cl 2 and He gas, and the following reaction occurs.

2H2O + 2Cl2→4HCl + O2 2H 2 O + 2Cl 2 → 4HCl + O 2

2SiOH + 2Cl2→2SiCl + 2HCl + O2 2SiOH + 2Cl 2 → 2SiCl + 2HCl + O 2

소결로 상부에 모터가 부착된 회전축은 프리폼과 연결된다. 이러한 회전축이 프리폼을 회전시키고 소결로를 통과시킴으로써 최종의 프리폼을 얻게 된다. 이러한 과정에서 프리폼과 회전축을 연결하는 방법은 소결된 프리폼의 품질에 매우 큰 영향을 미치게 되는데 회전축과 프리폼은 정렬이 되었다고 하더라도 프리폼과 연결 중 축정렬이 어긋나면 소결로와 먼저 접촉하게 되는 부분으로 프리폼이 변형을 일으키기 때문이다.The rotating shaft with the motor attached to the top of the sintering furnace is connected to the preform. This axis of rotation rotates the preform and passes through the sintering furnace to obtain the final preform. In this process, the method of connecting the preform and the rotating shaft has a great influence on the quality of the sintered preform. Even though the rotating shaft and the preform are aligned, the preform is the part that comes into contact with the sintering furnace if the shaft alignment is misaligned during the connection with the preform. This is because it causes deformation.

회전축과 프리폼을 연결하는 기존의 방법으로는 US Pat. 4,289,522, US Pat. 4,125,388 및 US Pat. 4,950,319 등에서 소개가 되어 있는데 종래의 방법은 회전축과 프리폼을 기계적으로 결합하는 방식으로서 연결부위에서 완벽한 수직을 맞추기가 어렵고, 프리폼로드에 핀홀을 뚫어 와이어(wire)로 결합하는 방식도 소결 중 프리폼의 하중에 의하여 깨어질 우려가 있어 프리폼 대형화가 불가능한 문제점이 있었다.The conventional method of connecting the rotating shaft and the preform is US Pat. 4,289,522, US Pat. 4,125,388 and US Pat. 4,950,319, etc. The conventional method is a method of mechanically coupling the rotating shaft and the preform, and it is difficult to achieve perfect vertical alignment at the connection part, and a method of connecting a pinhole to the preform rod by wire to connect the preform load during sintering There is a risk that it is broken by the preform can not be enlarged.

즉, 상기와 같은 종래기술은 프리폼과 회전축을 연결함에 있어서 정해진 치구 속에 프리폼로드를 끼우는 방식이거나 프리폼로드에 핀홀을 뚫는 등 기계적인 외력을 가하게 되어 소결장치에 장착하는 순간부터 수직도를 정확히 맞추기가 어려우며 프리폼로드에 핀홀을 뚫는 과정에서 발생한 크랙이 소결 중 전파되어 연결부위가 파괴되거나 파괴의 우려 때문에 소결하는 프리폼의 무게에 제한을 가져왔다. 따라서, 이는 원가절감이 강점으로 부각되는 외부기상 증착공법으로 대형프리폼을 제조하는 것이 곤란한 이유가 되어왔다.In other words, the prior art as described above is a method of fitting the preform rod into a predetermined jig when connecting the preform and the rotating shaft or by applying a mechanical external force such as drilling a pinhole on the preform rod to accurately adjust the verticality from the moment it is mounted on the sintering apparatus. It is difficult and the cracks generated during the drilling of the pinholes in the preform rod spread during the sintering, which leads to a limitation in the weight of the sintered preform due to the destruction of the connection or the fear of destruction. Therefore, this has been a reason why it is difficult to manufacture large preforms by an external vapor deposition method in which cost reduction is an important point.

본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 창작된 것으로서, 본 발명의 목적은 외부기상증착 공법으로 광섬유모재를 제조하기 위하여 필수적인 공정인 소결공정에서 기존의 방법과는 달리 프리폼로드에 기계적 외력을 가하지 않고, 대형 프리폼의 결합에도 문제가 없는 소결용 커플러 결합장치를 제공하는 것이다.The present invention was created to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to apply a mechanical external force to the preform rod unlike the conventional method in the sintering process, which is an essential process for manufacturing the optical fiber base material by an external vapor deposition method. In addition, to provide a coupler coupling device for sintering that does not have any problem in the coupling of a large preform.

또한, 본 발명의 목적은 중력에 의하여 연직하방으로 정렬할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 정렬이상으로 발생할 수 있는 프리폼의 휨현상을 방지하고 종래의 방법의 단점인 허용하중 제한 문제를 해결할 수 있는 소결용 커플러 결합장치를 제공하는 것이다.In addition, the object of the present invention can be aligned vertically downward by gravity, as well as to prevent the bending of the preform that may occur due to the misalignment and sintering coupler coupling device that can solve the problem of limiting the allowable load which is a disadvantage of the conventional method To provide.
