Description
【発明の詳細な説明】 [産業上の利用分野] 本発明は、ガラス管の成形方法に関するものである。[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a method of forming a glass tube.
[従来の技術]
従来より、ガラス管の成形方法としてダンチー法が広く
用いられている。[Prior Art] The Danchy method has been widely used as a method for forming glass tubes.
ダンチー法は、第1図に示すように、溶融ガラスlOを
回転するスリーブ20上に導き、ブローエアーを供給し
ながらガラスを連続的に引き出して、管状に成形する方
法である。引き出された管状のガラスは、徐々に管径を
縮小し、やがて一定の管径を育するガラス管11となる
が、その断面形状は、ガラスがスリーブ20から離れる
地点、いわゆる離型点Aでの形状がほとんどそのまま維
持される。As shown in FIG. 1, the Danchy method is a method in which molten glass 1O is introduced onto a rotating sleeve 20, and the glass is continuously drawn out while blowing air is supplied to form it into a tubular shape. The drawn out tubular glass gradually reduces its diameter and eventually becomes a glass tube 11 with a constant diameter, but its cross-sectional shape changes at the point where the glass leaves the sleeve 20, the so-called release point A. The shape remains almost the same.
それゆえガラス管の断面形状を常に一定に保つためには
、離型点A付近でのスリーブ20の表面状態が安定して
いなければならない。このため、スリーブ20の先端部
にはメタルチップ21と呼ばれる耐食性を有する耐熱性
金属部材が取り付けられている。Therefore, in order to keep the cross-sectional shape of the glass tube constant, the surface condition of the sleeve 20 near the mold release point A must be stable. For this reason, a heat-resistant metal member called a metal chip 21 having corrosion resistance is attached to the tip of the sleeve 20.
[発明が解決しようとする問題点コ
一般に、ガラスは金属に対して濡れにくいため、第2図
に示すように、メタルチップ2Iの端面21aにはガラ
スが染み出さない。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In general, glass is difficult to wet with metal, so as shown in FIG. 2, glass does not seep into the end surface 21a of the metal chip 2I.

チップ端面21aに拡がったガラス10mは、そこで滞
留して失透し、失透物が堆積するが、成形条件が変化す
ると、この失透物がガラスIO中に流れだすことがあり
、ブッと呼ばれるガラス欠陥が生じる。However, the surface of the metal chip 21 may be oxidized in the atmosphere. Particularly during glass tube molding, since it is constantly exposed to high temperatures, an oxide film is often formed, and the surface of the metal chip 21 becomes easily wetted by the glass. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
The glass lO oozes out and spreads in a, the cross-sectional shape of the glass at the mold release point is deformed, and it becomes difficult to obtain the desired cross-sectional shape of the drawn glass tube 11. In addition, the glass 10m that has spread to the metal chip end face 21a stays there and devitrifies, and devitrification substances are deposited there, but if the molding conditions change, this devitrification substance may flow into the glass IO. A glass defect called a bulge occurs.
本発明の目的は、常に一定の断面形状が得られるととも
に、メタルチップ端面に滞留したガラスの失透物に起因
するブツを含まないガラス管を製造することが可能なガ
ラス管の成形方法を提供することである。An object of the present invention is to provide a method for forming a glass tube, which can produce a glass tube that always has a constant cross-sectional shape and does not contain lumps caused by glass devitrification accumulated on the end face of a metal chip. It is to be.
[問題を解決するための手段]
本発明者は種々の研究を行った結果、中性雰囲気のガス

達成できることを見いだし、本発明として提案するもの
である。[Means for Solving the Problem] As a result of various studies, the present inventor found that the above object can be achieved by using gas in a neutral atmosphere as blow air, and proposes the present invention. be.

法において、0□分圧が1O−xO〜1O−2気圧に調
整されたガスをブローエアーとして使用することを特徴
とする。That is, the glass tube forming method of the present invention is a glass tube forming method in which molten glass is guided onto a sleeve, and while blowing air is supplied, the glass is continuously pulled out and formed into a tube shape. It is characterized by using gas adjusted to 1O-xO to 1O-2 atm as blow air.
[作用]
本発明のガラス管の成形方法は、ブローエアーとして0

始して温度が高くなると、酸化被膜が還元されて金属化
する。[Function] The glass tube forming method of the present invention uses 0 as blow air.
Since a gas whose partial pressure is adjusted to 10-10 to 10-2 atmospheres is used, a neutral atmosphere exists near the metal chip during glass tube molding, making it difficult for an oxide film to form on its surface. Further, even if an oxide film is formed on the surface of the metal chip before the start of molding the glass tube, when the temperature rises after the start of molding, the oxide film is reduced and metallized.
また本発明において、0□分圧力月0−1°〜l0−2

合して用いることが好ましい。In addition, in the present invention, 0□ min pressure month 0-1°~l0-2
As the gas adjusted to atmospheric pressure, it is preferable to use one that is harmless to the human body, such as N21He % Ar 1C02, alone or in combination.
なお、02分圧が1o−10気圧より低いガスを使用し

しくない。In addition, when using a gas whose 02 partial pressure is lower than 1o-10 atm, As2O3, 5b203, Pb
This is not preferable because components such as 0 are reduced and metallized, clouding the glass or reacting with metal chips to form an alloy. On the other hand, if a gas with a partial pressure of 02 higher than lo-2 atmospheres is used, the atmosphere becomes strongly oxidizing, which is undesirable because an oxide film is likely to be formed on the surface of the metal chip.
[実施例コ
以下、本発明のガラス管の成形方法を実施例に基づいて
説明する。[Example 7] Hereinafter, the method for forming a glass tube of the present invention will be explained based on an example.

Since the partial pressure of the 02 gas is adjusted to lo-6 atm, the space B surrounded by the tubular glass and the metal chip 21 to be drawn out is filled with gas in a neutral atmosphere, and the surface of the metal chip 21 is No oxide film is formed on the surface.

Therefore, the cross section of the glass tube at the mold release point is always constant, and a glass tube having a desired cross-sectional shape can be obtained. Further, since glass does not remain on the end face of the metal chip, no devitrification is generated, and it is possible to manufacture a glass tube free of particles caused by devitrification.
