一种光纤预制棒自动拉丝装置及自动拉丝方法Optical fiber preform automatic wire drawing device and automatic wire drawing method 技术领域Technical field
本申请涉及一种自动拉丝装置及自动拉丝方法,具体涉及一种光纤预制棒自动拉丝装置及自动拉丝方法。The invention relates to an automatic wire drawing device and an automatic wire drawing method, in particular to an optical fiber preform automatic wire drawing device and an automatic wire drawing method.
背景技术Background technique
光纤拉丝是将预制棒拉丝利用某种加热设备加热熔融后拉制成直径符合要求的细小光纤纤维,并保证光纤的芯/包直径比和折射率分布形式不变的工艺操作过程。可见,光纤预制棒和拉丝工艺直接决定了光纤光缆企业的生产成本、质量和利润,而提高光纤预制棒原材料利用效率,已经成为降低光纤预制棒及光纤成本的主攻方向。Fiber drawing is a process operation in which the preform is drawn and heated by a heating device to be drawn into a fine fiber fiber with a diameter that meets the requirements, and the core/package diameter ratio and the refractive index distribution form of the fiber are maintained. It can be seen that the optical fiber preform and the wire drawing process directly determine the production cost, quality and profit of the fiber optic cable enterprise, and the improvement of the utilization efficiency of the optical fiber preform raw material has become the main direction of reducing the cost of the optical fiber preform and the optical fiber.
目前,国内光纤拉丝基本上是半自动拉丝,为了节约成本,都采取小尾管对接光纤预制棒拉丝,拉至尾棒时,由于小尾管直径与预制棒直径相差较大,需要人为不停干预进棒量和拉丝炉功率,难以控制光纤丝径波动的稳定和各项光学参数性能的稳定,从而影响合格光纤的生产。例如,现有技术CN104211295A公开了一种光纤拉丝装置及其拉丝方法,该拉丝装置中光纤预制棒尾端通过石英玻璃尾管与吊棒平台,需人为不停干预进棒量和拉丝炉功率,从而无法实现自动拉丝的目的;同时该拉丝装置的石英玻璃尾管直径由于小于光纤预制棒的直径,进入拉丝炉后与拉丝炉石墨加热元件之间的间隙的大小变化必然影响温度场的均匀性。因此,亟待研制一种提高光纤预制棒的利用率降低光纤生产成本,保证拉丝炉内气流和温场的稳定的光纤预制棒自动拉丝装置。At present, the domestic fiber drawing is basically semi-automatic drawing. In order to save cost, the small tail pipe is used to draw the optical fiber preform. When pulling to the tail bar, since the diameter of the small tail pipe and the diameter of the preform are large, it is necessary to manually intervene. The amount and the power of the drawing furnace make it difficult to control the stability of the fiber diameter fluctuation and the stability of various optical parameters, thereby affecting the production of qualified optical fibers. For example, the prior art CN104211295A discloses an optical fiber drawing device and a wire drawing method thereof. In the wire drawing device, the tail end of the optical fiber preform passes through the quartz glass tail pipe and the hanging rod platform, and the human body is required to continuously intervene in the amount of the rod and the power of the drawing furnace. Therefore, the purpose of automatic wire drawing cannot be achieved; at the same time, the diameter of the quartz glass tail pipe of the wire drawing device is smaller than the diameter of the optical fiber preform, and the change of the gap between the graphite heating element after entering the drawing furnace and the graphite heating element of the drawing furnace necessarily affects the uniformity of the temperature field. . Therefore, it is urgent to develop an optical fiber preform automatic drawing device which improves the utilization rate of the optical fiber preform and reduces the production cost of the optical fiber to ensure the stability of the airflow and the temperature field in the drawing furnace.
