Title

Abstract
(EN) Disclosed is a method and an arrangement for determining the shape and/or size of a freely falling drop (1) of molten glass. One end of the drop is detected by means of two photo-diodes (7, 8) spaced apart along the fall path for determining the fall speed of the drop. An image of that part of the drop located momentarily between the two photo-diodes (7, 8) is projected onto an elongated photo-diode array (9) extending perpendicularly to the fall direction. The photo-diode array (9) is scanned periodically at a given time interval a large number of times during movement of the drop past the array. This provides information relating to the width of the drop at a large number of locations along the length of the drop. The mutual distance between these width determinations are calculated on the basis of the fall speed of the drop and the time interval between the different scans. The shape and size of the drop is calculated from these data.
(FR) Procédé et agencement permettant de déterminer en chute libre la forme et/ou la taille d'une goutte (1) de verre en fusion. Une extrémité de la goutte est détectée au moyen de deux photo-diodes (7, 8) espacées le long de la trajectoire de chute afin de déterminer la vitesse à laquelle tombe la goutte. Une image de cette partie de la goutte se trouvant momentanément entre les deux photo-diodes (7, 8) est projetée sur un réseau (9) allongé de photo-diodes s'étendant perpendiculairement à la direction de la chute. Le réseau (9) de photo-diodes est périodiquement balayé à un intervalle de temps donné, un grand nombre de fois pendant le mouvement effectué par la goutte lorsqu'elle passe devant le réseau. Ce système offre des informations relatives à la largeur de la goutte à un grand nombre d'endroits situés sur toute la longueur de la goutte. La distance mutuelle entre ces déterminations de largeur est calculée sur la base de la vitesse de chute de la goutte et de l'intervalle de temps entre les différents balayages. La forme et la taille de la goutte sont calculées à partir de ces données.
