Consequently, the preliminary granular foam filled in the spatial portion is foamed to form the heat insulating foam 200 in the opening portion 100a.
The aluminium chassis 100, which is passed through the maturing means 50, foamed finally, and discharged, is cooled by the cooling water sprayed from the water spraying nozzle 62 arranged at the upper part and the lower part of the cooling chamber 61 of the cooling means 60. Subsequently, the water created in the cooling process is removed by the pressurized air blowed from the air nozzle 71 of the drying means 70, thereby the aluminium chassis 100 being dried.
Through the process as described above, the heat insulating foam is provided in the opening portion 100a of the aluminium chassis 100.

The heat insulating foam foamed on the cutting area of the aluminium chassis is cut by a cutting means transferred and returned at the same speed as WO 99/42352 PCTlKR99/00082 the transferring speed of the aluminium chassis.
The operation of the invention will be described below.
As described above, with the apparatus for forming heat insulating foam according to the present invention comprising a transferring means 10, an applying means 20 for applying adhesives, a filling means 30 for filling preliminary granular foam, an supplying means 40 for supplying dry vapor, a maturing means 50, a cooling means 60, and a drying means 70, the end of the opening portion 100a of the aluminium chassis 100 which is supplied to the transferring die I3 for the first time is closed by synthetic resin so-that the preliminary granular foam 110 supplied at the first stage is filled into the opening portion 100a.
The aluminium chassis thus placed on the transferring die 13 is moved at the regular spped by the driving roller 11. The aluminium chassis 100 transferred as mentioned above turn the sensing plate 23 of the applying means 20 for applying adhesives to open the valve 22, whereby the adhesives are applied to the opening portion 100a through the applying nozzle 21.
The supporting plate 33 for supporting the foaming mold closes partially the upper part of the opening portion 100a of the aluminium chassis 100 transferred, the aluminium chassis 100 being applied with the adhesives by the applying means 20 for applying adhesives to create the spatial portion.
In the spatial portion is filled the preliminary granular foam 110 stored in the hopper 130 through the supply unit 31 by virtue of the negative pressure generated by the vacuum pump which discharges air through the inlet portion 33a for granular foam. At this time, the dry vapor of the temperature ranged between 110 °C to 140 °C is blowed by force from the upper part of the supply unit 31 by the supplying means 40 for supplying dry vapor. As a result, the preliminary granular foam filled in the spatial portion is heated directly, and thus foamed.
The filling process of the preliminary granular foam and direct heating process of the preliminary granular foam by the dry vapor are carried out successively to the aluminium chassis 100 transferred at the regular speed. The aluminium chassis 100 passed through the above mentioned process is heated with the dry vapor of the temperature ranged between 70 °C to 120 °C sprayed from the vapor nozzle 52 at the upper part of the maturing chamber of the maturing means 50 when the aluminium chassis 100 passes the inlet portion 33a for granular foam of the supporting plate 33 for supporting the foaming mold. Consequently, the preliminary granular foam filled in the spatial portion is foamed to form the heat insulating foam 200 in the opening portion 100a.
The aluminium chassis 100, which is passed through the maturing means 50, foamed finally, and discharged, is cooled by the cooling water sprayed from the water spraying nozzle 62 arranged at the upper part and the lower part of the cooling chamber 61 of the cooling means 60. Subsequently, the water created in the cooling process is removed by the pressurized air blowed from the air nozzle 71 of the drying means 70, thereby the aluminium chassis 100 being dried.
Through the process as described above, the heat insulating foam is provided in the opening portion 100a of the aluminium chassis 100.
