Problems solved by technology

If the thermal zone is not uniform, it is easy to cause the sintered part and the unsintered part to be out of concentricity, and cause the final fiber concentricity error
Moreover, due to the relatively low viscosity of the sintered part, the periphery of the non-concentric part will have a certain ellipticity error in the non-uniform thermal zone
In addition, due to the low viscosity, the sintered rod will shrink unevenly under the double action of gravity and glass surfa

Example Embodiment

[0043] Specific example one:

[0044]The loose body preform 14 after external deposition is vertically suspended on the hanging rod 12 of the sintering tower, and the soot body preform is slowly put into the sintering tube 18 by the lifting and translation of the servo motor 1; into the sintering tube, and place it on the sintering area of ​​the heating device, and cover the upper part of the sintering tube with a cover 19 to form a relatively closed sintering atmosphere; the control device 7 controls the heating element 15 through the electric heater driving part 6 to control the furnace temperature The temperature rises to 1100°C, and at the same time, gases such as 0.35splm chlorine gas and 35slpm helium gas are introduced into the sintering tube from the gas supply part 11 for dehydration. The proportion of gas is controlled at 1%; the dehydration time is 1 hour. After the end, the electric heater driving part 6 controls the heating element 15 to raise the furnace temperat...

Abstract

A sintering apparatus for prefabricatnig the loosen optical fibre rod is composed of sintering quartz pipe with gas inlet and cover, heating unit with casing, insulating material and heater, moving controller, position sensor, gas supplying unit, temp sensor with heating driver, and controller.

Description

1. Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a sintering device for a loose body optical fiber prefabricated rod, in particular to a sintering device for a loose body optical fiber prefabricated rod core rod prepared by an OVD or VAD method. 2. Background technology: [0002] At present, the most common outer cladding processing methods for optical fiber preforms in the world are OVD and VAD methods. These two outer cladding deposition methods are relatively similar. Both deposit pure SiO2 on the outside of the core rod to make a porous loose body, and then put it in a sintering furnace for dehydration and sintering to make a transparent large optical fiber preform. [0003] Regardless of whether OVD or VAD is used to produce core rods and outer cladding, the generated soot core rods and soot finished rods must be placed in a heating furnace, and Cl2 and He must be introduced at a certain temperature for dehydration and sintering. Produce transparent core rods and fi...
