The invention discloses an integral forming preparation method of a
glass tube with a polygonal cross section, which comprises the following steps: S1, vertically arranging a
solid metal mold with a polygonal cross section in a glass outer sleeve with a sealed bottom and an open top, and ensuring that the
solid metal mold and the glass outer sleeve are coaxially positioned; s2, the glass outer sleeve is vacuumized, so that
pressure difference is formed between the interior of the glass outer sleeve and the external
atmosphere; s3, the to-be-formed part of the glass outer sleeve is heated to be softened, and the softened part is attached to the mold to be formed under the action of the internal and
external pressure difference; s4, the formed glass outer sleeve is moved to the
room temperature to be cooled, and the mold is separated from the formed glass outer sleeve according to the characteristics of
thermal expansion and cold contraction; and S5,
cutting the molded glass outer sleeve to obtain a
glass tube with a polygonal cross section, and
grinding and
polishing the
glass tube with the polygonal cross section. The preparation process is easy to operate, less in
equipment use and simple in forming process, the production period can be greatly shortened, the preparation efficiency is improved, and the quality and performance of a finished product are guaranteed.
