Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of optical fiber manufacturing, and in particular to a high-frequency optical fiber drawing induction furnace. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of optical fiber manufacturing, the high-frequency optical fiber drawing induction furnace is one of the core equipment. After the optical fiber drawing operation is completed, or due to the needs of equipment maintenance, fault diagnosis, process adjustment, etc., the induction furnace needs to be cooled down.

[0003] At present, the cooling is mainly carried out in three ways: natural cooling, air cooling and water cooling. The traditional natural cooling method is extremely slow. For a common high-frequency optical fiber drawing induction furnace, it often takes 3-5 hours to cool down from the working temperature (about 2000℃) to the safe operating temperature (about 50℃), which results in a long idle time of the equipment. The air cooling method also has limited cooling speed and cannot meet the production demand of rapid cooling. Although the water cooling method has a faster cooling speed, due to the complex internal structure of the induction furnace, especially the graphite parts as the key components, the position and structure of the graphite parts in the furnace make it difficult to achieve uniform cooling. During the water cooling process, the temperature change rate of different parts of the graphite parts is quite different, which will cause a large thermal stress in the graphite parts. According to the material mechanics analysis, when the thermal stress exceeds the bearing limit of the graphite parts, the graphite parts are prone to crack, deformation and other damage. Once the graphite parts are damaged, not only the current production task will be affected, but also the high cost and long time of replacing the graphite parts will seriously affect the overall production. At the same time, impurities and other foreign matters in the water are easy to cause pipeline blockage during the circulation in the furnace body, resulting in local high temperature of the furnace body, affecting the service life of the furnace body and causing high maintenance cost.

Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

The furnace body 100 has a furnace cavity formed inside, and the furnace body 100 is provided with a furnace opening 110 that is in communication with the furnace cavity. A graphite heating element or the like is generally arranged at a position close to the central axis of the furnace cavity, and is used to heat an optical rod during the drawing process. The optical rod enters the furnace cavity from the furnace opening 110, and is drawn out from the lower end of the furnace body 100 after drawing. When the optical rod needs to be replaced or the graphite element 600 in the furnace needs to be inspected, the furnace cavity needs to be rapidly cooled. The air inlet assembly 200 is arranged at the furnace opening 110, and is used to respectively introduce heat exchange gas into different positions of the furnace cavity. The heat exchange gas is low-temperature nitrogen, and the low-temperature nitrogen can rapidly cool the graphite element 600 in the furnace. The temperature measurement assembly 300 is arranged on the furnace body 100, and is used to detect the temperature of different positions of the furnace cavity.

[0038] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 In some specific embodiments, the air inlet assembly 200 comprises a gas distribution ring 210, which is fixed to the inner wall of the furnace opening 110. At least two layers of gas channels are formed in the gas distribution ring 210, and each layer of gas channels is distributed along the circumference of the gas distribution ring 210.

One end of the gas channel is formed in the outer ring wall of the gas distribution ring 210, and the other end is formed in the inner ring wall of the gas distribution ring 210. Specifically, the gas channel comprises three layers, namely the first gas channel 211, the second gas channel 212, and the third gas channel 213 from top to bottom. The axial angle of the first gas channel 211 is greater than the axial angle of the second gas channel 212, and the axial angle of the second gas channel 212 is greater than the axial angle of the third gas channel 213. In this way, the heat exchange gas blown out by the first gas channel 211 corresponds to the upper part of the furnace cavity, the heat exchange gas blown out by the second gas channel 212 corresponds to the middle part of the furnace cavity, and the heat exchange gas blown out by the third gas channel 213 corresponds to the lower part of the furnace cavity. The different positions of the furnace body are cooled at the same time, the cooling speed of the structural elements at different positions in the furnace is kept as consistent as possible, the internal thermal stress of the graphite element 600 is avoided, and the graphite element 600 is prevented from being damaged, such as cracking and deformation.

[0039] Referring to Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the air inlet assembly 200 further comprises a first air inlet ring 220, a second air inlet ring 230 and a third air inlet ring 240, the furnace opening 110 is formed with an annular groove recessed towards the furnace wall, the first air inlet ring 220, the second air inlet ring 230 and the third air inlet ring 240 are correspondingly arranged in the annular groove, and a pipeline is connected to the position of the annular groove for conveying heat exchange gas into the annular groove. Specifically, the first air inlet ring 220 is sleeved outside the air distribution ring 210, the first air inlet ring 220 is provided with first air holes 221 distributed along the circumference thereof, one end of the first air holes 221 is opened on the outer ring wall of the first air inlet ring 220, and the other end is opened on the inner ring wall of the first air inlet ring 220, the first air holes 221 are in communication with the first air duct 211, the first air inlet ring 220 can adjust the overlapping cross-sectional area of the first air holes 221 and the first air duct 211 by rotating around the central axis of the air distribution ring 210, thereby adjusting the gas flow rate flowing through the first air holes 221 and the first air duct 211 within the same time.

[0040] The second air inlet ring 230 is sleeved outside the air distribution ring 210, the second air inlet ring 230 is provided with second air holes 231 distributed along the circumference thereof, one end of the second air holes 231 is opened on the outer ring wall of the second air inlet ring 230, and the other end is opened on the inner ring wall of the second air inlet ring 230, the second air holes 231 are in communication with the second air duct 212, the second air inlet ring 230 can adjust the overlapping cross-sectional area of the second air holes 231 and the second air duct 212 by rotating around the central axis of the air distribution ring 210, thereby adjusting the gas flow rate flowing through the second air holes 231 and the second air duct 212.

[0041] The third air inlet ring 240 is sleeved outside the air distribution ring 210, the third air inlet ring 240 is provided with third air holes 241 distributed along the circumference thereof, one end of the third air holes 241 is opened on the outer ring wall of the third air inlet ring 240, and the other end is opened on the inner ring wall of the third air inlet ring 240, the third air holes 241 are in communication with the third air duct 213, the third air inlet ring 240 can adjust the overlapping cross-sectional area of the third air holes 241 and the third air duct 213 by rotating around the central axis of the air distribution ring 210, thereby adjusting the gas flow rate flowing through the third air holes 241 and the third air duct 213.

[0042] Referring to Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the outer ring surfaces of the first air inlet ring 220, the second air inlet ring 230, and the third air inlet ring 240 are respectively provided with external teeth, and the air inlet assembly 200 further comprises a first gear 250, a second gear 260, a third gear 270, and a driver. The first gear 250 is in mesh with the external teeth of the first air inlet ring 220, the second gear 260 is in mesh with the external teeth of the second air inlet ring 230, and the third gear 270 is in mesh with the external teeth of the third air inlet ring 240. The driver is an electric motor, which is respectively connected to the shafts of the first gear 250, the second gear 260, and the third gear 270 for driving the corresponding shafts to rotate. In this way, the gas flow rates of the first air passage 211, the second air passage 212, and the third air passage 213 can be adjusted by driving the shafts of the first gear 250, the second gear 260, and the third gear 270 to rotate by appropriate angles. In some embodiments, an angle rotary encoder is respectively installed on the shaft of each of the first gear 250, the second gear 260, and the third gear 270 for detecting the rotation angle of the corresponding gear.

[0043] In some embodiments, the temperature measurement assembly 300 comprises three groups, which are respectively arranged on the furnace body 100 and located on the extension lines of the first air passage 211, the second air passage 212, and the third air passage 213 for detecting the temperatures of the upper part, the middle part, and the lower part of the furnace cavity. Specifically, each temperature measurement assembly 300 comprises a sleeve 310, a thermocouple 320, a fastening ring 330, a spring 340, a junction box 350, and a signal lead 360. The sleeve 310 is arranged in the sidewall of the furnace body 100. The thermocouple 320 is arranged in the sleeve 310, and the inner end of the thermocouple 320 extends into the furnace cavity. The fastening ring 330 is arranged in the sleeve 310 and close to the outer end of the thermocouple 320. The spring 340 is arranged in the sleeve 310, one end of the spring 340 abuts against the outer end of the thermocouple 320, and the other end of the spring 340 abuts against the fastening ring 330. The junction box 350 is arranged at the outer port of the sleeve 310. The signal lead 360 is arranged to pass through the fastening ring 330, so that the thermocouple 320 is electrically connected to the junction box 350. The signal lead is connected to the external circuit of the controller through a terminal in the junction box 350 for signal transmission. When the thermocouple is installed, the spring generates a spring force to keep the measurement end of the thermocouple in close contact with the graphite member. In particular, in the case of slight shaking of the furnace body, the spring can play a buffering and compensating role to prevent the thermocouple from being separated from or poorly contacting the bottom of the sleeve, thereby ensuring the stability of the measurement. During the temperature change in the furnace, the thermocouple, the sleeve, and the surrounding furnace body material will all expand and contract due to heat. The spring can adapt to these size changes by itself, avoiding damage to the thermocouple or the sleeve due to thermal stress.

[0044] The cooling process of the high-frequency optical fiber drawing induction furnace of the present application is as follows:

[0045] The thermocouple 320 collects the temperature near the graphite piece. After the controller receives the temperature signal collected by the thermocouple 320, the rotation angle is set according to the temperature signal collected by the thermocouple 320, and a start instruction is sent to the corresponding driver to drive the corresponding wheel shaft to rotate. At the same time, the angle rotary encoder on the wheel shaft sends the collected rotation angle information to the controller. After the corresponding first gear 250 or second gear 260 or third gear 270 rotates to the target angle, the controller sends a stop instruction to the corresponding driver.

[0046] Specifically, when the temperature difference detected by the temperature measuring assembly 300 at the upper, middle and lower parts of the furnace cavity is within a suitable range, for example, within 5-10℃, the driver does not act; when the temperature difference detected by the temperature measuring assembly 300 at the upper, middle and lower parts of the furnace cavity exceeds the above range, the driver will drive the lowest and highest values in the three to act. Taking the example of the lowest temperature at the upper part of the furnace cavity and the highest temperature at the lower part of the furnace cavity:

[0047] The driver connected with the first air inlet ring 220 acts to make the first air inlet ring 220 rotate around the central axis of the air distribution ring 210, so as to reduce the overlapping cross-sectional area of the first air hole 221 and the first air duct 211, and further reduce the flow rate of the low-temperature nitrogen gas flowing through the first air hole 221 and the first air duct 211 within the same time;

[0048] The driver connected with the third air inlet ring 240 acts to make the third air inlet ring 240 rotate around the central axis of the air distribution ring 210, so as to increase the overlapping cross-sectional area of the third air hole 241 and the third air duct 213, and further increase the flow rate of the low-temperature nitrogen gas flowing through the first air hole 221 and the first air duct 211 within the same time. In this way, the furnace body and the graphite piece can be rapidly and uniformly cooled, avoiding large thermal stress on the upper and lower parts of the graphite piece 600, preventing damage such as cracks and deformation of the graphite piece 600, and improving the service life of the induction furnace.

[0049] Referring to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the side wall of the furnace body 100 has a vacuum interlayer 500 for heat preservation in the furnace. The furnace body 100 is also connected with an air inlet pipe 400, which communicates with the position of the furnace cavity away from the central axis. In this way, the air inlet pipe 400 is used to introduce heat exchange gas into the position of the furnace cavity away from the central axis (the second furnace cavity 130 in Figure 1 The air distribution ring 210 is used to introduce heat exchange gas into the position of the furnace cavity close to the central axis (the first furnace cavity 120 in Figure 1 The air inlet pipe 400 and the air distribution ring 210 can cooperate to cool the inner and outer sides of the graphite piece 600 in the furnace cavity, avoiding large thermal stress on the inner and outer sides of the graphite piece 600.
