前記原材料が溶解した後、外部から前記溶解槽の内部へと撹拌体を挿入し、この撹拌体で前記融液を撹拌する製造方法。 (1) A method for producing a glass molded body in which glass flows out from a feeder communicating with a melting tank containing a raw material melt into a mold,
Supplying a raw material to the dissolution tank having a plurality of electrodes in the melt;

前記溶解槽に連通するフィーダと、
前記溶解槽の上部に設けられた加熱手段と、
前記フィーダから導出される溶融ガラスを成形する成形型と、
前記溶解槽の内部へ挿脱可能な撹拌体と、を備える製造装置。 (24) An apparatus for manufacturing a glass molded body,
A dissolution vessel having a plurality of electrodes in which a raw material melt is contained and immersed in the melt;
A feeder communicating with the dissolution tank;
Heating means provided in the upper part of the dissolution tank;
A mold for molding molten glass derived from the feeder;
A stirring device that can be inserted into and removed from the inside of the dissolution tank.
前記加熱手段は、前記上部炉壁に設けられた燃焼バーナを有する(24)から(27)いずれか記載の製造装置。 (28) The melting tank has a lower furnace wall for storing the melt, and an upper furnace wall provided on the upper part of the lower furnace wall,
The said heating means is a manufacturing apparatus in any one of (24) to (27) which has a combustion burner provided in the said upper furnace wall.
溶解槽20には原材料の融液が収容されている。原材料はバッチ(各成分の原料粉末が混合されたもの)又はこのバッチがガラス化されたラフメルトカレットであってよく、原材料供給部70の本体71の先端に設けられた保持部73に載せられ、側壁231’aに形成された供給孔237を通って供給される。この供給孔237は、溶解槽20内部の温度が低下しにくいよう開閉可能に形成され、原材料の供給時に開き、それ以外の間には閉じることが好ましい。 [Dissolution tank]
The
加熱部40は、溶解槽20の上部に設けられて、融液の上方から融液を加熱する。これにより、融液の下部のみならず上部も昇温されるため、電極による通電加熱と合わせて融液の上下方向の温度制御が可能となり、また、原材料の溶解の迅速化の点でも有利である。加熱部40は、昇温効率に優れる点で、燃焼バーナ41a,41bを有することが好ましい。これら燃焼バーナ41a,41bは、融液を収容する下部炉壁23の上部に位置する上部炉壁26に設けられている。本実施形態における燃焼バーナ41a,41bは、上部炉壁26の側壁261から内方へと、互いに対向して配置されている。燃焼バーナ41a,41bとしては空気燃焼、酸素燃焼等を用いることができるが、高温の溶解を行うことができる観点から酸素燃焼が好ましい。 [Heating section]
The
撹拌体60は、溶解槽の内部へ挿脱可能に構成されており、原材料が溶解した後、外部から溶解槽20の内部へと挿入されて融液を撹拌する。つまり、撹拌体を攻撃するおそれのある未溶解の原材料が存在する溶解工程の間、撹拌体60は溶解槽20の外部に配置されるため、その劣化を抑制できる。また、撹拌体60を構成する成分が融液に取り込まれることによるガラスの品質の劣化も抑制できる。 [Stirring body]

フィーダ30は、図示されない流出制御手段によって、流出の開始及び停止を行うことができ、溶解槽20を外界に連通し、溶解槽20内の溶融ガラスを成形型50へと導出する。具体的には、融液に面する連通口33に溶融ガラスが流れ込み、本体31を通って導出口35から成形型50へと導出される。このようなフィーダ30は、溶融ガラスへの異物混入を抑制できるよう、白金又は白金合金で形成されている。 [feeder]

成形型50はフィーダ30から導出される溶融ガラスを成形する。成形型50は、ガラス成形体の所望の寸法に適合した寸法を有し、例えば大体積のガラスブロックが望まれる場合には、大容積の成形型50を用いる。また、導出口35及び成形型50の距離を増減可能な機構を設けることが好ましい。これにより、成形型50内に導出されて蓄積される溶融ガラス量が逐次増加しても、導出口35から導出される溶融ガラスの落下距離が常に最小に保たれるため、ガラス成形体への気泡等の混入や脈理の発生を抑制できる。 [Molding mold]
