Problems solved by technology

Since the devitrification resistance is lowered if the molten glass is not flowed out at a higher temperature than the devitrification region, it is necessary to increase the outflow of the glass whose devitrification resistance is lowered and the devitrification temperature region is high. temperature, thus the viscosity of the glass will be significantly reduced when the outflow
However, if thermoforming is carried out with such glass, the glass in a low-viscosity state will fold and form entrained gas, thereby forming a product containing air bubbles inside, resulting in the problem that it cannot be used as a preform

Embodiment 1~6

[0126] [embodiment 1~6, comparative example 1~4 ( figure 1 )]

[0127] Put the refractive index (nd): 1.8268, Abbe number (νd): 23.5, in the platinum crucible 2 o 5 , R 2 O(R: Li, Na, K), Nb 2 o 5 The glass flake as the main component is dissolved at 1000°C, then defoamed and clarified at 1100°C and stirred evenly to obtain molten glass. This molten glass is combined with the bottom of the crucible and passed through a temperature-controlled platinum tube, and at a flow rate of 0.55Kg / hr, it flows out of a nozzle (inner diameter: φ0.8mm) made of platinum alloy at 9000°C. ) flow out continuously. The liquidus temperature of this glass is 880°C, and the liquidus viscosity is 5.3dPa·s. Therefore, the outflow viscosity of the molten glass calculated from the liquidus temperature and the liquidus viscosity is 4.1 dPa·s.

[0128] use figure 1 The device shown, shapes the molten glass flowing out under this outflow condition into 146mm 3 (553mg) of spherical preforms. Firs...

Embodiment 7

[0135] Embodiment 7 ( figure 2 )

[0136] use figure 2 The shown apparatus produces a preform for press molding.

[0137] The molten glass of the same type was flowed out under the same conditions as in the above-mentioned Examples 1 to 6 only by changing the outlet diameter from 0.8 mm to 0.9 mm. By changing the diameter of the spout, the glass flow rate was increased to 0.72Kg / hr. Such as figure 2 As shown, directly below the outflow port, two sets of assembly components are arranged in the vertical direction. Make the first support close to the nozzle and support the front end of the molten glass flow ( figure 2 (a)), when the molten glass of a predetermined capacity is retained, the support body is suddenly lowered, thereby falling from the molten glass flow and cutting the molten glass block ( figure 2 (b)). Afterwards, the first support (assembly part) is separated for 70 to 100 msec, and the molten glass gob is dropped and inserted on the second support ( ...

Embodiment 8

[0141] Embodiment 8 ( image 3 )

[0142] Compared with embodiment 7, only the forming device is changed to image 3 device shown, and form a 146mm 3 (553mg) of spherical preforms. First, four sets of assembly parts (supports) are evenly arranged around the circumference of a table turned at 90° (hereinafter referred to as assembly table). Make the floating gas normally flow to each assembly part, and form a state that can float up and support the molten glass. In addition, only the split-die parts at the normal B-position can be independently raised and lowered by a split-die vertical mechanism (not shown) provided at the lower part of the split-die at the B position.

[0143] On the other hand, a rotatable rotary table (hereinafter referred to as a forming table) larger than the above-mentioned table was prepared, and 12 ball forming dies were equally arranged on the circumference of the table. In addition, one of the 12 molds is located at position A, and is installed ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a preform for press molding that efficiently produces a high-quality preform for glass molding using molten glass, and a method for manufacturing an optical element that precisely press-forms the preform produced by the above method . In the method for producing a preform for pressure molding, a molten glass gob is separated from a flow of molten glass flowing out of a pipe, and the molten glass gob is formed into a gob for pressure molding on the molten glass gob forming mold. A preform, the method comprising the step of supporting a preform in contact with a support between a front end receiving a flow of molten glass through the support and transferring the gob of molten glass to a gob forming mold. The molten glass removes the heat of the molten glass block by heat conduction, and promotes the viscosity increase of the molten glass. After the above steps, an operation of floating the molten glass on the support is performed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a preform for press molding and a method of manufacturing an optical element in which a preform produced by the method is subjected to precise press molding. Background technique [0002] With the spread of digital cameras and camera-equipped mobile phones, etc., demand for aspherical lenses and compact lenses has increased. As a method for efficiently manufacturing optical elements made of such glass materials, attention has been paid to the precision press molding method called molded lens molding. In this method, a preformed body made of glass called a preform is produced, the preform is heated for press molding, and the overall shape of the optical element is made, and at the same time, the molding surface of the preform mold is precisely Transfer to glass so that optically functional surfaces such as lens surfaces can be formed regardless of grinding or grinding. [0003] In the precisio...
