- One of these forces is the air pressure acting between the glass drop GD and the wall surface of the passage 51b while the glass drop GD passes through the passage 51b.
- the glass droplet GD passes through the cylindrical passage 51b, thereby generating a pressure difference due to the air flow rate difference on the side of the glass droplet GD.
- a force for centering the glass droplet GD is generated, and variations in the discharge position of the glass droplet GD, that is, the dropping position can be suppressed.
- the cross section of the passage 51b is preferably axisymmetric, and in particular, when the distance between the surface of the glass droplet GD and the wall surface is a cylindrical shape, variation in dropping position is stable.

- the control device 55 that detects the position of the glass droplet GD immediately before dropping from the nozzle 20 by receiving the inspection light beam and receiving the signal from the light receiving unit PD, Depending on the position of the glass droplet GD immediately before dropping, for example, the actuator 54 drives the converging member 51 and the holding member 52 on the side opposite to the direction of deviation of the glass droplet GD with respect to the axis, thereby making the glass droplet more accurate.
- the GD discharge position can be controlled.
- Such position control of the converging member 51 and the holding member 52 may be performed every time, or may be performed at a predetermined timing according to, for example, the time from the start of manufacturing, the number of shots, or the like.
- the actuator 54 drives the converging member 51 and the lower mold 30 in the horizontal direction in synchronization.
- the glass droplet GD is always aimed by the holding member 52 or the mold 30 by moving and adjusting the holding member 52 or the mold 30 as the droplet receiving member by an amount corresponding to the amount by which the converging member 51 is moved. It becomes possible to dripping at a position with high accuracy. For example, if the detected drop deviation amount is less than 1/3 of the measured drop position variation amount, there is no need to adjust the holding member 52 or the mold 30. When the dripping position deviation amount is 1/3 or more, it is necessary to adjust the movement amount of the holding member 52 or the mold 30 according to the amount of movement of the convergence member 51. By performing such fine adjustment, it becomes possible to drop the hot glass droplet GD with high accuracy at a target position at all times.
- the manufacturing apparatus to which the present invention is applied is an apparatus that handles molten glass, a glass melting furnace, a cooling chiller, an air conditioner, and the like are arranged and operated in the vicinity.

- FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a change in variation in the dropping position depending on the presence or absence of a converging member.
- the diameter of the glass droplet is about ⁇ 7 mm
- the diameter of the converging member passage is ⁇ 9 mm. Therefore, the cross-sectional area ratio A / B of both is about 1.7.
- Comparative Example 1 in FIG. 4 is an example in which a plurality of glass droplets are dropped from a nozzle without providing the converging member of the present invention, and the variation is obtained.
- Comparative Example 2 is an alternative to providing the converging member of the present invention.
