Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for stably producing high-quality glass gob free from shear marks, folds, striae, etc., by casting a mold with molten glass running out continuously from a conductor outlet under the delay control of the next glass's free fall following cutting a glass flow. SOLUTION: The diameter of a conductor outlet port is designed to be 1.2-3.0 times that of the conductor proper, thus making a molten glass flow continuously running out following cutting off the preceding glass flow stay at the conductor outlet and enabling delay control of the initiation of molten glass's free fall. Owing to this method, the objective unconventionally high-quality glass gob can be produced stably and efficiently.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method of obtaining a preform material for an optical lens, it is manufactured from a glass gob called a blank or a pressed product. However, in any case, a surface defect such as a sharp mark, a scratch or a sink occurs on the glass surface and cannot be used as it is as a preform material for an optical lens. The reason is that in order to cut a predetermined glass gob from the molten glass stream, the glass stream is cut with metal scissors called a "sharp blade". This causes surface defects. Therefore, various methods have been proposed for cutting the glass flow without using such a shear blade.

[0003] For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 51-24525 discloses that a glass flowing down from a conduit outlet is received by a medium mold which can be moved up and down inside a mold, and the positional relationship between the outlet and the cast glass surface is optimally maintained. Describes a method of gradually lowering only the middle mold according to the amount of glass in the mold and, when a predetermined amount of glass is reached, rapidly lowering the entire mold to cut the glass flow. According to this method, a glass gob having no surface defects can be obtained because no sharp blade is used for cutting the glass flow. However, in this method, the time required for the glass flow to flow again from the conduit outlet after the glass flow is cut is very short, so that it is difficult to set the next mold in a predetermined position within this short time. There's a problem.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 53-50218 discloses a method in which a glass stream flowing down from a conduit outlet is cast into a mold, and one sheet is moved horizontally to cut the glass stream. A method is described in which the glass flow is held on a plate until the next mold is placed immediately below the outlet, and then the plate is removed from the glass flow to form the next glass gob. . However, in this method, the distance between the outlet and the mold is increased due to the intervention of the plate, which makes it difficult to optimize the apparatus and that the elongated glass generated when the plate is moved is broken. However, there is a problem that a defect occurs in the product.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-27849 discloses that in order to eliminate the drawbacks of these techniques, glass continuously flowing out of a conduit outlet is brought into contact with a control panel provided below the conduit outlet. While flowing, the glass is poured into a mold provided below the control panel, and when the glass reaches a predetermined amount, the mold is rapidly lowered to cut the glass flow, and then the glass flowing out from the outlet is used by utilizing its surface tension. In addition, a method of forming a glass gob that delays free flow of glass by accumulating and retaining glass on a lower surface of a control panel for a predetermined time is described. However, this method has the drawback that the structure of the apparatus is complicated, and preparation and adjustment of the control panel require time and skill. For example, if the mounting position of the control panel is slightly deviated from the optimal position, striae and devitrification occur in the product, and it is difficult to manufacture a high-quality glass gob with good yield.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the method for producing a glass gob described above, the diameter of the outlet of the conduit is 1.2 to 3.5 times the diameter of the main conduit. According to the method of the present invention, the molten glass reaches the outlet through the conduit, but stays at the outlet without spontaneously flowing down due to the viscosity and surface tension of the glass itself. Factors that determine the residence time or residence amount are the glass composition, its temperature (surface tension and viscosity), and the diameter of the outlet. In other words, the volume of the droplet dropped from the outlet is determined by the surface tension of the liquid and the outlet diameter, and when the glass composition and the temperature are the same, the outlet diameter is determined by the residence time or the amount of residence. Dominant factor. Therefore, when the diameter of the outlet is the same as that of the conduit, the residence time is short because the cross-sectional area of the conduit outlet is small. In contrast, when the diameter of the outlet is larger than that of the main pipe, the residence time of the glass can be lengthened. The diameter of the outlet can be variously selected depending on the type of molten glass and the amount of outflow, but the diameter of the conduit is 1.2 to 3.5.
Double the range. When the diameter of the outlet is less than 1.2 times the diameter of the conduit, the effect of the time delay is hardly recognized, and when the diameter is 3.5 times or more, the stagnation and outflow of the glass is not smooth, so the above range is preferable.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The details of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 are sectional views showing an example of a glass gob forming process of molten glass according to the method of the present invention. FIGS. 5 to 9 are sectional views showing various shapes of the conduit outlet according to the present invention. First, the molten glass reaches the outlet through the conduit, but stays at the outlet without spontaneously flowing down due to the outlet diameter, the viscosity of the glass itself, and the surface tension. However, when the amount of retained glass increases and exceeds the critical point of retention, the balance between the outlet diameter and the surface tension is broken, and the molten glass starts to flow naturally (FIG. 1).

[0010] The molten glass flow which has started to flow naturally is received by a forming die which has raised the middle mold to its upper end position, and then the middle mold is gradually lowered in accordance with the outflow of glass (Figs. 2, 3). When the amount of molten glass reaches a predetermined amount, the entire mold is rapidly lowered to cut the molten glass flow by utilizing the surface tension of the glass (FIG. 4). Immediately after the cutting, the mold is moved in the horizontal direction to complete one step of glass gob molding. In the next step, the glass flow flowing to the outlet again stays at the outlet for a certain period of time due to the balance between the outlet diameter, the viscosity of the glass, and the surface tension. In the meantime, the forming die, which has pushed the middle die up to its upper end position, is placed below the outlet, and waits for the next glass flow.

As a method of cutting the glass flow when the amount of glass cast into the mold reaches a predetermined amount, the glass flow can be cut by rapidly lowering the entire mold or lowering only the middle mold. Further, the glass flow can be cut even when the entire mold is moved in the horizontal direction. Further, a porous support member for feeding a pressurized gas, which is a known method, may be used for the mold.

According to the method of the first aspect of the present invention, since the diameter of the outlet of the conduit is larger than that of the main conduit, the outlet of the molten glass is balanced by the surface tension at the outlet of the molten glass. The residence time of the glass in the above can be lengthened. By thus increasing the residence time of the molten glass at the outlet, it is possible to obtain a sufficient time for installing the mold at a predetermined position. Claim 2
According to the method described in (1), the residence time of the molten glass at the outlet can be optimized when the diameter of the outlet is 1.2 to 3.5 times the diameter of the conduit. Further, when the outlet diameter is in the above range, the shape of the obtained glass gob can be obtained in a good circular shape, so that it is useful as a glass gob material.
