Problems solved by technology

[0008] Although the thermoforming method has excellent advantages as a manufacturing method for such blanks, it has been difficult to apply to glasses containing highly volatile components such as fluorine.
[0009] For example, glasses with ultra-low dispersion characteristics, which are in high demand, can obtain the aforementioned characteristics by including fluorine in the glass structure, however, in glasses at extremely high temperatures in a molten state, the fluorine component near the surface decreases due to volatilization , so the quality of the billet will be significantly reduced
Therefore, although it is a high-productivity billet manufacturing method, it is still difficult to put into practical use hot forming methods such as fluorine-containing glass and other high-temperature reactive glass into billets.
[0010] Although the mechanism of volatilization may be different, there are also volatilization problems when thermoforming blanks from glasses containing volatile components such as boron

Embodiment 1

[0218] The glass raw materials mixed with a predetermined amount of batch materials are heated and melted, defoamed and clarified, and evenly stirred, and the obtained molten glass is continuously flowed down at a certain outflow speed from a platinum alloy nozzle that implements temperature control. At this time, the production amount of glass (引き上げ量) was 9.5 kg / day. Table 1 shows the composition and characteristics of the glass obtained from the above molten glass.

Embodiment 2

[0231] The prepared glass raw material was heated and melted, defoamed and clarified, and evenly stirred, and the obtained molten glass, which was the same as in Example 1, flowed continuously at a certain outflow speed from the temperature-controlled platinum alloy outflow pipe. At this time, the production amount of glass was 8 kg / day.

[0232] The flow of molten glass flowing down through the image 3 The device shown is formed into a blank for compression molding.

[0233]The shield used in this embodiment is composed of two flat partition members. Make the above-mentioned partition parts close to each other, shield the gas and air flow from below, so that it does not blow to the front end of the outflow pipe, refer to the time when the molten glass drop drops from the front end of the outflow pipe, separate the partition parts from each other, and the molten glass drop Drops between the separated partition members to the molding die. Immediately after the molten glass ...

Embodiment 3

[0243] A blank was prepared in the same manner as in Example 2, except that the partition members constituting the shield were separated after the molten glass droplet was dropped onto the shield.

[0244] Make the two flat-shaped partition parts that constitute the shielding body close to each other, so as to shield the gas or air flow from below, so that it does not blow to the front end of the outflow pipe, and adjust the dropping position so that the molten glass drops from the outflow pipe. It falls to the position where the partition members are closely attached to each other, and then the molten glass is dripped from the front end of the outflow pipe in a closed space filled with dry gas.

[0245] After the molten glass drop is brought into contact with the partition members in a state of close contact, the molten glass drop is cooled to a certain extent, the partition members are separated from each other, and the molten glass drop is passed between the separated partit...

Abstract

The present invention provides a blank for precision press molding in which a molten glass gob of a certain mass is separated from molten glass flowing out of an outlet of an outflow tube, and is formed into a glass blank while applying wind pressure to the gob to float it The manufacturing method, wherein the front end of the molten glass flow is received and supported by a molten glass support arranged below the aforementioned outflow pipe, and then the process of removing the support of the aforementioned molten glass support and separating the aforementioned molten glass lump from the front end of the molten glass flow is Carried out in a closed space filled with dry gas. The present invention also provides an optical element formed by performing precision press molding on the blank produced by the aforementioned method.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a blank for precision press molding (press molding), an optical element, and a method for manufacturing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method capable of efficiently producing high-quality blanks for precision press molding of glass, an optical element obtained by performing precision press molding on such blanks, and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] In various optical systems including imaging optical systems, lenses made of glass having low dispersion are required. In such low-dispersion optical glass, fluorine is usually introduced to reduce dispersion. [0003] In recent years, with the miniaturization, higher pixel size, and higher performance of digital cameras and digital video cameras, the demand for lenses such as aspheric lenses made of low-dispersion glass has increased. Corresponding to this demand, the method of proces...
