Zusammenfassung:To suppress the mixture of the air from a lower extension pipe in an optical fiber drawing furnace to suppress the reduction of the intensity of an obtained optical fiber.SOLUTION: An apparatus for manufacturing an optical fiber includes a drawing furnace for heating, melting and drawing an optical fiber preform to form a glass fiber. The drawing furnace includes: a heating furnace for heating and melting the optical fiber preform; a lower extension pipe provided in the lower end of the heating furnace and having a glass fiber passing through the inside; and a gas purge pipe provided in the lower end of the lower extension pipe and axially symmetrically injecting gas from the periphery to the glass fiber.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】光ファイバ用線引炉における下部延長管からの大気の混入を抑制し、得られる光ファイバの強度の低下を抑制することを目的とする。【解決手段】光ファイバ用母材を加熱溶融して線引きし、ガラスファイバを形成する線引炉を備えた光ファイバの製造装置であって、前記線引炉は、光ファイバ用母材を加熱溶融する加熱炉と、前記加熱炉の下端に設けられ、内部に前記ガラスファイバが通過する下部延長管と、前記下部延長管の下端に設けられ、前記ガラスファイバに対して周囲から軸対称にガスを噴射するガスパージ管と、を備える、光ファイバの製造装置。【選択図】図1
