- the target value Vc of the linear velocity V is controlled to be constant.
- the drawing speed V stabilizes and becomes approximately constant at the target value Vc.
- the effective portion Lb having the core C of the optical fiber preform G is in a state where it is drawn.

- the present embodiment is not limited to this, and the characteristics of the decrease in the linear velocity V depend on the manufacturing conditions and manufacturing conditions. It changes depending on the specifications of the optical fiber G2, etc., and for example, there are cases where the linear velocity V gradually decreases in a smoother curved manner instead of changing in a curved manner at L2.
- the reference linear speed Vs which is a condition for determining the end of line drawing specified in this embodiment, is reached.
- the linear velocity V continues to decrease from L2 to L5 and becomes lower than the reference linear velocity Vs.
- a rapid increase and decrease in the linear velocity V occur. This is because the core glass in the effective part Lb and the core in the ineffective part Lc are at the position of length a2 where the drawing position of the optical fiber preform G switches from the effective part Lb of the core C to the ineffective part Lc. This is because a difference in glass viscosity occurs at the joint with glass.

This is because, under the control of the linear velocity control unit 70, the variation in the linear velocity V of the optical fiber G2 is normally less than 0.5% of the target value Vc from L1 to L2. This is because it is kept within the range.
- the variation range of the linear velocity V is slightly larger than 0.5%, for example, about 0.7%.
- the linear velocity V that had been decreasing may suddenly increase. is set lower than the target value Vc within a range not exceeding 3% of Vc, for example within a range not exceeding 1.5%.
- the line drawing end determination unit 71 determines that the line drawing end position has come, and the line drawing end determination unit 71 issues a control command for the line drawing end process in a predetermined order. It is transmitted to each control section 72-77.
- each control unit 72 to 77 receives a control command for a line drawing end process from the line drawing end determination unit 71, it sends a control command for a line drawing end process to each control device 52.
- the time from when the drawing end determination unit 71 determines that the drawing end position determination condition that the linear velocity V has reached the reference linear velocity Vs is satisfied until it issues a control command for the drawing end process is determined by the manufacturing process.

Abstract
Description
光ファイバ用母材の有効部コアガラスと非有効部コアガラスとの接合部分のガラス粘度差によって、光ファイバ用母材の溶融の状態が変化し、ガラス溶融が急激に進み、急激に光ファイバの線引き速度が上昇することがある。このようにガラス溶融が急激に進んだ場合には、特許文献1記載の方法では、線速が急激に増加したことによって光ファイバ用母材が非有効部に達したことを判別しているため、光ファイバの線引き終了時に線速が急激に増加し続けてしまい問題となるおそれがあった。
本開示によれば、光ファイバ用母材の有効部から非有効部へ切り替わったことを速やかに判断し、光ファイバの線引き終了時にも線速が急激に増加し続けることを防ぐことができる。
最初に本開示の実施態様の内容を列記して説明する。
本開示は、(1)~(5)の構成により、それぞれ次の効果を奏する。
(1)光ファイバ用母材を加熱して軟化させながら線引きして製品となる部分の光ファイバを製造する線引き工程と、前記光ファイバ用母材中の製品となる光ファイバの線引き終了を所定の条件を満たしたかどうかで判断する線引き終了判断工程と、を備え、前記線引き工程では、光ファイバの線引き線速の目標値を一定として線速が制御され、前記線引き終了判断工程では、前記線速が前記目標値から所定の量だけ減少した時に、光ファイバの線引き終了を判定する、光ファイバの製造方法。
このように構成された光ファイバの製造方法によれば、光ファイバ用母材の有効部から非有効部へ切り替わったことを速やかに判断し、光ファイバの線引き終了時にも線速が急激に増加し続けることを防ぐことができる。
これにより、より確実に光ファイバ用母材の有効部から非有効部へ切り替わったことを判断することができるので、光ファイバの線引き終了時にも安定した線速での線引きが可能であると共に、ノイズ等の影響によらず、光ファイバ用母材の有効部から非有効部へ切り替わる時期がより正確に把握できるため、光ファイバ用母材の有効部コアガラスを無駄なく使い切ることができる。
これにより、過去の線引きによる光ファイバの検査結果に基づいて線引き終了判断の条件を設定できるため、使用される光ファイバ製造装置の仕様、光ファイバの仕様、さまざまな製造条件等に応じた正確な線引き終了判定が可能となる。
これにより、光ファイバ用母材の有効部における光ファイバの線引きの線速が一定の目標値に追従して安定するため、線引き終了時の線速の減少を確実に検出し、より正確に線引きの終了を判定できる。
これにより、光ファイバ用母材の有効部における光ファイバの線引きの線速の一定の目標値に対する光ファイバの線引き終了を判定するための線速の所定の減少量を設定する範囲が特定でき、線引き終了判断の条件の設定が適切に行われる。また、光ファイバ用母材の有効部における光ファイバの線引きの線速の一定の目標値に対する光ファイバの線引き終了を判定するための線速の所定の減少量の上限と下限を設定することにより、線引き終了判断の条件を設定する時の誤設定を防ぐことができる。
以下、本開示に係る光ファイバの製造方法の具体例について説明する。
なお、以下の説明において、異なる図面においても同じ符号を付した構成は、同様のものであるとして、その説明を省略する場合がある。
また、本開示は、これらの例示に限定されるものではなく、請求の範囲によって示され、請求の範囲と均等の意味および範囲内ですべての変更が含まれることを意図する。
図1-4を用いて本開示の実施形態1に係る光ファイバの製造方法について説明する。まず、本実施形態の光ファイバの製造方法を行うことができる光ファイバ製造装置10について、図1を参照して説明する。図1は、光ファイバの製造方法を行うことができる光ファイバ製造装置10の概略構成図である。
次に、制御装置50の構成について、図2を参照して説明する。図2は、図1の光ファイバ製造装置10における制御装置50のブロック図である。制御装置50は、検出部60、線速制御部70及び被覆層形成・切断制御部80から構成されている。検出部60は、母材送り検出部61、炉心温度検出部62、外径測定部63、線速検出部64、張力検出部65、ダンサローラ変位検出部67等の検出手段を含んでいる。
光ファイバ用母材Gの構造について、図3を参照して説明する。図3は、光ファイバ用母材Gの概略模式図である。光ファイバ用母材Gを線引きする場合、線引き開始時には光ファイバ用母材Gの線引き開始端であるa=0の位置からa1までの長さLaの非有効部Laを線引きする。その後、a1からa2の位置までの長さLbにわたり、コアCを有し製品となる有効部分である有効部Lbの線引きを行う。コアCを有する有効部Lbの線引きが終わると、a2からa3までの長さLcの部分は、製品とならない非有効部Lcが引き続き線引きされる。コアCがある部分Lbでは粘度が高いのに対して、コアCのない部分Lcでは粘度が低くなる場合や、逆にコアCがある部分Lbでは粘度が低いのに対して、コアCのない部分Lcでは粘度が高くなる場合があるため、有効部Lbのコアガラスと非有効部Lcのコアガラスとの接合部においては、ガラス粘度差が大きくなる場合がある。このようにガラス粘度差が大きくなる場合には、線引き線速が急激に上昇するおそれがある。
線速制御について、図4を参照して説明する。図4は、光ファイバの線引きの線速のグラフである。図4の縦軸は光ファイバG2の線速V[m/min]であり、横軸は線引き距離L[km]である。線引き距離Lは、キャプスタン40により巻き取られた光ファイバG2の長さに相当し、例えばキャプスタン40の回転回数により計算したり、線速検出器25の測定値を時間積分したりすることにより求められる数値である。実線は、本実施形態の線引き終了判定部71による線引き停止制御を行った場合のグラフであり、二点鎖線は、本実施形態の線引き終了判定部71による線引き停止制御を行わない比較例の場合のグラフである。
本開示の実施形態2に係る光ファイバの製造方法について説明する。図1-4については、実施形態1と共通に参照する。実施形態1では、線引き終了判定部71による線引きの終了位置の判断条件は、光ファイバG2の線速Vが基準線速Vsまで低下したことであるとして説明したが、本実施形態では、さらに線引き終了判定部71による線引きの終了位置の判断条件を追加した実施形態を説明する。
Ls=Lc+ΔL(ΔL≧0)・・・(式1)
である。式1において、ΔLは、コアCがある有効部Lbと非有効部Lcとの間の位置であるa2からの有効部Lbの残量の余裕分に相当する、正の実数である。
本開示の実施形態3に係る光ファイバの製造方法について説明する。図1-4については、実施形態1、2と共通に参照する。実施形態1では、線速Vが基準線速Vsに達すると、線引き終了判定部71が線引きの終了位置であると判断し、線引き終了判定部71は線引き終了処理のための制御指令を所定の順序に従って各制御部72-77に送信しているが、本実施形態では、基準線速Vsを過去の光ファイバ用母材Gの線引きの履歴データから決定する。
この場合の統計処理では、光ファイバ用母材G及び光ファイバG2の仕様、製造条件、製造装置等の各種条件を考慮することが望ましい。特に限定されるものでは無いが、例えば光ファイバ用母材G及び光ファイバG2の仕様と製造条件が同一、あるいは、所定範囲の近い条件である過去の履歴情報だけの平均値をとって、線引き終了判定条件であるL3に相当する基準線速Vsを演算する。例えば、光ファイバ母材Gの有効部Lbと非有効部Lcとの境界部の線引き距離に対応する線速減少量から基準線速Vsを求める。または、光ファイバG2の良品と不良品の境界部の線引き距離に対応する線速減少量から基準線速Vsを求める。
このため、本実施形態の光ファイバの製造方法によれば、過去の履歴から演算されて、今回の光ファイバ用母材Gから目標仕様である光ファイバG2を線引きする場合の、線引き終了判定部71における線引き終了の条件となる、基準線速Vsを用いることにより、使用される光ファイバ製造装置10の仕様、光ファイバの仕様、さまざまな製造条件等に応じた正確な線引き終了判定が可能となる。これにより、より確実に、より精度よく、より安定して、線引き終了の判定を行うことができる。
