Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及玻纤预制棒相关技术领域,具体为一种制备大直径芯层预制棒的装置与方法。The invention relates to the related technical field of glass fiber prefabricated rods, in particular to a device and method for preparing large-diameter core layer prefabricated rods.
背景技术Background technique
随着通信技术的迅速发展,光纤在通信中的使用量日益增多,越来越多的光缆生产企业将产业链延伸到光纤拉丝,并进一步延伸到光纤预制棒的生产。With the rapid development of communication technology, the use of optical fiber in communication is increasing day by day. More and more optical cable manufacturers extend the industrial chain to optical fiber drawing, and further extend to the production of optical fiber preform.
目前光纤预制棒的制造主要采用两步法,即先制造芯棒,然后再在芯棒外沉积包层。芯棒的制造技术主要有四种:美国康宁公司开发的外部气相沉积工艺OVD(OutsideVapor Deposition)、美国贝尔实验室开发的改进的化学气相沉积工艺MCVD(ModifiedChemical VaporDeposition)、日本NTT开发的轴向气相沉积工艺VAD(VaporAxialDeposition)、荷兰飞利浦公司开发的等离子体化学气相沉积工艺PCVD(Plasma ChemicalVaporDeposition)。外包层制造技术主要有:直接外部气相沉积工艺OVD、等离子体外喷涂工艺APVD、套管法。At present, the manufacture of optical fiber preform mainly adopts a two-step method, that is, the core rod is manufactured first, and then the cladding is deposited outside the core rod. There are four main manufacturing technologies for mandrels: the external vapor deposition process OVD (Outside Vapor Deposition) developed by Corning Corporation of the United States, the improved chemical vapor deposition process MCVD (Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition) developed by Bell Laboratories of the United States, the axial vapor deposition process VAD (VaporAxial Deposition) developed by Japan NTT, and the plasma chemical vapor deposition process PCVD (Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition) developed by Philips of the Netherlands. ition). Outer cladding manufacturing technologies mainly include: direct external vapor deposition process OVD, plasma external spraying process APVD, and casing method.
随着行业竞争的日趋加剧,如何降低光纤预制棒的制造成本成为行业研究的热点。降低光纤预制棒的制造成本主要从以下几个方面着手:①增加预制棒的尺寸;②提高预制棒的合格率,降低报废;③降低原辅材料的成本。本领域内多为一次性制备芯层和包层,MCVD和PCVD工艺由于受衬管尺寸的限制,做大芯棒的尺寸比较困难;VAD和OVD工艺受烧结炉尺寸的限制,芯棒沉积疏松体的尺寸也受到限制,而且芯棒中芯层仅占1/4左右。With the increasing competition in the industry, how to reduce the manufacturing cost of optical fiber preforms has become a hot topic in the industry. Reducing the manufacturing cost of optical fiber preform mainly starts from the following aspects: ① Increase the size of preform; ② Improve the pass rate of preform and reduce scrap; ③ Reduce the cost of raw and auxiliary materials. In this field, the core layer and cladding are mostly prepared at one time. Due to the limitation of the size of the liner in the MCVD and PCVD processes, it is difficult to increase the size of the mandrel; the VAD and OVD processes are limited by the size of the sintering furnace, and the size of the soot deposited on the mandrel is also limited, and the core layer in the mandrel only accounts for about 1/4.
针对上述问题,若能提高所做芯棒的芯包比(d芯层/D包层),即在不增加或者相对少增加包层尺寸的情况下,增大所制备芯棒的芯层部分的尺寸,所制备的芯棒经拉伸后,通过OVD或套管方式进行外包,可拉制更长光纤。因此根据以上设想,本发明提供了一种提升VAD芯棒芯层直径占比的方法。In view of the above problems, if the core-clad ratio (d core layer/D cladding layer) of the core rod can be increased, that is, the size of the core layer part of the core rod can be increased without increasing or relatively little increase in the cladding size. After the core rod is stretched, it can be outsourced by OVD or sleeve, and longer optical fibers can be drawn. Therefore, based on the above ideas, the present invention provides a method for increasing the ratio of the core layer diameter of the VAD mandrel.

一种制备大直径芯层预制棒的方法,采用上述任一项所述的制备大直径芯层预制棒的装置,包括以下步骤:A method for preparing a large-diameter core layer preform, using the device for preparing a large-diameter core layer preform described in any one of the above, comprising the following steps:
Ⅰ.将清理干净的VAD沉积芯灯、包灯安装在相应的芯灯灯座和包灯灯座上,调节十字激光确定芯灯/包灯安装面,确保安装在芯灯/包灯座上的芯灯/包灯处于同一平面,确保检查芯灯/包灯安装座位置,使其处于基座相对中间位置;Ⅰ. Install the cleaned VAD deposition core lamp and wrap lamp on the corresponding core lamp lamp holder and wrap lamp holder, adjust the cross laser to determine the installation surface of the core lamp/wrap lamp, ensure that the core lamp/wrap lamp installed on the core lamp/wrap lamp holder are in the same plane, and ensure that the position of the wick lamp/wrap lamp mounting seat is in the middle of the base;
Ⅱ.点燃芯灯和包灯,按照流量设定值向靶棒喷射,水解生成的二氧化硅和二氧化锗开始沉积在靶棒上,随着沉积的持续进行,靶棒下端芯层直径逐渐变大,当芯层直径大于预设值时,靶棒随旋转吊杆匀速提升,直到沉积结束,制得芯棒疏松体;Ⅱ. Ignite the core lamp and the bag lamp, and spray to the target rod according to the flow rate setting value. The silicon dioxide and germanium dioxide produced by hydrolysis begin to deposit on the target rod. As the deposition continues, the diameter of the core layer at the lower end of the target rod gradually increases. When the diameter of the core layer is greater than the preset value, the target rod is lifted at a constant speed with the rotating boom until the deposition is completed, and the core rod loose body is obtained;
Ⅲ.将制得的芯棒疏松体经过脱水烧结处理后得到透明芯棒。Ⅲ. Dehydrating and sintering the obtained mandrel loose body to obtain a transparent mandrel.
优选或可选的,所述芯灯的角度为51°±1°,激光距要求为20mm±2mm,轴线距要求为60mm±5mm;所述包灯角度为38°±1°,激光距要求为120mm±5mm,轴线距要求为160mm±10mm。Preferably or optionally, the angle of the core lamp is 51°±1°, the laser distance is required to be 20mm±2mm, and the axial distance is required to be 60mm±5mm; the angle of the wrapping lamp is 38°±1°, the laser distance is required to be 120mm±5mm, and the axial distance is required to be 160mm±10mm.
采用了上述的装置和工艺后,本发明具有如下有益效果:本发明将VAD工艺中芯灯与待制备的疏松体的中轴线偏离一定的角度,使疏松体螺旋式生长,疏松体的提升速率会变慢,但芯棒的芯层尺寸会增加,从而提高单根芯棒的重量及芯包比。同时,为控制芯棒的密度及均匀性,本发明在第一芯灯在包灯之间再设置一个第二芯灯,以提高芯层外部区域的密度。该方法不仅解决了烧结炉芯管对芯棒疏松体整体尺寸的限制。本发明所改进的VAD生产工艺,在不增加或者相对少增加包层尺寸的情况下,增大所制备芯棒的芯层部分的尺寸。该方法不仅解决了烧结炉芯管对芯棒疏松体整体尺寸的限制,同时经拉伸后的芯棒通过OVD或套管方式进行外包,可拉制长度更大的光纤。After adopting the above-mentioned device and process, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the present invention deviates the central axis of the core lamp and the loose body to be prepared by a certain angle in the VAD process, so that the loose body grows in a spiral manner, and the lifting rate of the loose body will slow down, but the core layer size of the mandrel will increase, thereby increasing the weight of a single mandrel and the core-to-pack ratio. Simultaneously, in order to control the density and uniformity of the mandrel, the present invention further arranges a second core lamp between the first core lamp and the envelope lamp, so as to increase the density of the outer area of the core layer. The method not only solves the limitation of the sintering furnace core tube on the overall size of the mandrel loose body. The improved VAD production process of the present invention increases the size of the core layer part of the prepared mandrel without increasing or relatively little increasing the cladding layer size. This method not only solves the limitation of the overall size of the mandrel loose body by the sintering furnace core tube, but also outsources the stretched mandrel by OVD or sleeve, which can draw a longer optical fiber.

The core lamp in the VAD process is deviated from the central axis of the soot body to be prepared by a certain angle, so that the soot body grows in a spiral manner, and the lifting rate of the soot body will be slowed down, but the core layer size of the mandrel will increase, thereby increasing the weight of a single mandrel rod and the core-to-package ratio.

实施例2Example 2
与实施例1相比,本实施例主要改动处为增设了第二芯灯3,并调整芯第一芯灯2的Y轴坐标,向Y轴正方向移动约0.6mm。因将第一芯灯2的Y轴位置向正方向移动,现料焰喷射位置偏移疏松体中轴线,故现疏松体芯层呈螺旋式生长,与实施例1原料的流量相同,但是因芯层螺旋式生长,现有的芯层与实施例1中的芯层直径相比要大,芯层的相对密度要小很多,芯层与包层密度不匹配,会导致后续的烧结工序烧结出的芯棒出现芯层或者芯包间白色未烧透,影响产品的正常生产。因此本实施例在第一芯灯2与包灯之间增设有第二芯灯3,改进后的装置结构示意图如附图1所示。装置包括沉积腔体1、第一芯灯2、第二芯灯3、包灯4、旋转吊杆5、靶棒6、进风组件7和抽风组件8。第一芯灯2、第二芯灯3与包灯4设置于沉积腔体1内部的下方,旋转吊杆5设置于沉积腔体1的中部上方,旋转吊杆5进行轴向转动并沿竖直方向上下移动;靶棒6固定连接于旋转吊杆5的下底端;进风组件7与抽风组件8均设置于沉积腔体1的内部;进风系统7相邻设置于第一芯灯2与第二芯灯3的同侧,抽风组件8远离第一芯灯2与第二芯灯3设置。第一芯灯2、第二芯灯3与包灯4同为环状八层喷孔结构,其中第一芯灯2各环形喷孔流量配比如下:中心喷孔通有预设流量为0.25slpm的SiCl4气体与预设流量为0.3slpm的H2气体;第一环形喷孔通有预设流量为0.13slpm的GeCl4与预设流量为4.4slpm的H2气体,第二环形喷孔通有预设流量为3slpm的Ar气体,第三环形喷孔通有预设流量为18slpm的O2气体,第四环形喷孔通有预设流量为4slpm的Ar气体,第五环形喷孔通有预设流量为19slpm的H2气体,第六环形喷孔通有预设流量为4slpm的Ar气体,第七环形喷孔通有预设流量为20slpm的O2气体。Compared with Embodiment 1, the main changes of this embodiment are that the second core lamp 3 is added, and the Y-axis coordinate of the first core lamp 2 is adjusted to move about 0.6mm in the positive direction of the Y-axis. Because the Y-axis position of the first core lamp 2 is moved to the positive direction, the position of the current flame injection position deviates from the central axis of the soot body, so the core layer of the soot body grows spirally, which is the same as the flow rate of the raw material in Example 1. However, due to the spiral growth of the core layer, the diameter of the existing core layer is larger than that of the core layer in Example 1, and the relative density of the core layer is much smaller. The mismatch between the density of the core layer and the cladding layer will cause the core rod sintered in the subsequent sintering process. . Therefore, in this embodiment, a second core lamp 3 is added between the first core lamp 2 and the wrapping lamp, and the structure schematic diagram of the improved device is shown in Fig. 1 . The device includes a deposition chamber 1 , a first core lamp 2 , a second core lamp 3 , a cover lamp 4 , a rotating boom 5 , a target rod 6 , an air inlet assembly 7 and an exhaust assembly 8 . The first core lamp 2, the second core lamp 3 and the bag lamp 4 are arranged below the inside of the deposition chamber 1, and the rotating boom 5 is arranged above the middle part of the deposition chamber 1. The rotating boom 5 rotates axially and moves up and down in the vertical direction; the target rod 6 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating boom 5; the air inlet assembly 7 and the exhaust assembly 8 are all arranged inside the deposition chamber 1; .第一芯灯2、第二芯灯3与包灯4同为环状八层喷孔结构,其中第一芯灯2各环形喷孔流量配比如下:中心喷孔通有预设流量为0.25slpm的SiCl 4气体与预设流量为0.3slpm的H 2气体;第一环形喷孔通有预设流量为0.13slpm的GeCl4与预设流量为4.4slpm的H 2气体,第二环形喷孔通有预设流量为3slpm的Ar气体,第三环形喷孔通有预设流量为18slpm的O 2气体,第四环形喷孔通有预设流量为4slpm的Ar气体,第五环形喷孔通有预设流量为19slpm的H 2气体,第六环形喷孔通有预设流量为4slpm的Ar气体,第七环形喷孔通有预设流量为20slpm的O 2气体。
第二芯灯3要求角度为42°±0.5°,第二芯灯3中心喷孔不通有任何气体,第一环形喷孔通有预设流量为2.1slpm的H2气体,第二环形喷孔通有预设流量为3slpm的Ar气体,第三环形喷孔通有预设流量为8slpm的O2气体,第四环形喷孔通有预设流量为4slpm的Ar气体,第五环形喷孔通有预设流量为9slpm的H2气体,第六环形喷孔通有预设流量为4slpm的Ar气体,第七环形喷孔通有预设流量为10slpm的O2气体。第二芯灯3作用为提高疏松体芯层以及芯包间的密度,防止芯层与包层密度的不匹配导致烧结后出现的芯层或芯包间白色未烧透的情况。第二芯灯3要求角度为42°±0.5°,第二芯灯3中心喷孔不通有任何气体,第一环形喷孔通有预设流量为2.1slpm的H 2气体,第二环形喷孔通有预设流量为3slpm的Ar气体,第三环形喷孔通有预设流量为8slpm的O 2气体,第四环形喷孔通有预设流量为4slpm的Ar气体,第五环形喷孔通有预设流量为9slpm的H 2气体,第六环形喷孔通有预设流量为4slpm的Ar气体,第七环形喷孔通有预设流量为10slpm的O 2气体。 The function of the second core lamp 3 is to increase the density between the core layer and the core package of the loose body, and prevent the mismatch between the density of the core layer and the cladding layer from causing the white unburned condition of the core layer or the core package after sintering.
包灯4自内而外各喷孔所通气体及流量设置为:中心喷孔通有预设流量为6.5slpm的SiCl4气体与预设流量为2slpm的O2气体,第一环形喷孔通有预设流量为11slpm的H2气体与预设流量为0.48slpm的CF4气体,第二环形喷孔通有预设流量为4slpm的Ar气体,第三环形喷孔通有预设流量为35slpm的O2气体,第四环形喷孔通有预设流量为6slpm的Ar气体,第五环形喷孔通有预设流量为104slpm的H2气体,第六环形喷孔通有预设流量为6slpm的Ar气体,第七环形喷孔通有预设流量为45slpm的O2气体。The gas and flow rate of the package lamp 4 from the inside to the outside of each nozzle hole are set as follows: the center nozzle hole has SiCl4 gas with a preset flow rate of 6.5 slpm and O gas with a preset flow rate of 2 slpm.2Gas, the first annular nozzle hole has a preset flow rate of 11slpm H2Gas with CF at preset flow rate of 0.48slpm4Gas, Ar gas with a preset flow rate of 4 slpm is passed through the second annular nozzle hole, and O gas with a preset flow rate of 35 slpm is passed through the third annular nozzle hole2Gas, Ar gas with a preset flow rate of 6 slpm is passed through the fourth annular nozzle hole, and H gas with a preset flow rate of 104 slpm is passed through the fifth annular nozzle hole2Gas, Ar gas with a preset flow rate of 6 slpm is passed through the sixth annular nozzle hole, and O gas with a preset flow rate of 45 slpm is passed through the seventh annular nozzle hole.2gas.
疏松体的提升速度为1.1mm/min。The lifting speed of the loose body is 1.1mm/min.
通过上述方法,对制得的芯棒疏松体经过脱水烧结处理后,即得到本实施例的透明芯棒。The transparent mandrel of this embodiment is obtained after dehydration and sintering of the mandrel loose body obtained by the above method.
结果与测试Results and Tests
对实施例制得的透明芯棒进行光学测试,测得的参数如下表所示:The optical test is carried out to the transparent mandrel that embodiment makes, and the measured parameter is shown in the following table:
将上表所得参数与附图2的芯层沉积状态示意图结合,不难看出,实施例2制得的透明芯棒,其芯层直径高于实施例1,同时其包芯比、相对折射率与包层折射率与实施例1相比,均未有明显的差异,这表明实施例2在保证光学参数稳定的前提下,提升了芯层的直径。实施例2通过调整第一芯灯、第二芯灯的相对位置以及各喷灯的气体流量配比,在保证芯棒剖面结构不变的情况下,既保证了沉积疏松体的密度分布均匀性,保证烧结芯棒的透明度,又在相对少增加包层尺寸的情况下,增大所制备芯棒的芯层部分的尺寸。该方法不仅解决了烧结炉芯管对芯棒疏松体整体尺寸的限制,同时经拉伸后的芯棒通过OVD或套管方式进行外包,可拉制得到更长的光纤。另外需要说明的是,在上述具体实施方式中所描述的各个具体技术特征,在不矛盾的情况下,可以通过任何合适的方式进行组合。为了避免不必要的重复,本发明对各种可能的组合方式不再另行说明。Combining the parameters obtained in the above table with the schematic diagram of the deposition state of the core layer in Figure 2, it is not difficult to see that the diameter of the core layer of the transparent mandrel prepared in Example 2 is higher than that of Example 1. At the same time, there is no obvious difference in the core-clad ratio, relative refractive index and cladding refractive index compared with Example 1. This shows that Example 2 increases the diameter of the core layer under the premise of ensuring stable optical parameters. In Example 2, by adjusting the relative positions of the first core lamp and the second core lamp and the gas flow ratio of each blowtorch, under the condition that the cross-sectional structure of the core rod remains unchanged, the uniformity of the density distribution of the deposited loose body and the transparency of the sintered core rod are ensured, and the size of the core layer of the prepared core rod is increased with a relatively small increase in the size of the cladding layer. This method not only solves the limitation of the overall size of the core rod loose body by the sintering furnace core tube, but also outsources the stretched core rod through OVD or a sleeve, so that a longer optical fiber can be drawn. In addition, it should be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific implementation manners may be combined in any suitable manner if there is no contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, various possible combinations are not further described in the present invention.
