に折り曲げた場合にも、溝部の空間により、折り曲げ時
の芯材どうしの干渉を防止できるため、溝部において、
容易に真空断熱材の折り曲げが可能となる。Therefore, even when a sheet-like molded body made of inorganic fibers that cannot retain the core material shape is applied as the core material because the fibers are compressed by compression, the core material is subjected to compression molding after sealing under reduced pressure. The shape of the core material can be easily changed. For this reason, in the groove formed by compression molding, the thickness of the core material of the vacuum heat insulating material is thinner than the other side surface around the groove, so that the tension of the gas barrier film decreases. Furthermore, even in the case of bending such that the surface on which the groove is formed is on the inside, the space of the groove can prevent interference between the core materials at the time of bending.
It is possible to easily bend the vacuum heat insulating material.
【0052】なお、折り曲げの方向は、溝部を形成した
面が、内側、あるいは外側のいずれの方向に折り曲げた
場合にも、何等問題ない。It should be noted that there is no problem in the direction of bending whether the surface on which the groove is formed is bent inward or outward.

熱材の適用可能製品が大幅に増加する。As a result, the degree of freedom of the shape of the vacuum heat insulating material is greatly improved, and the parts to which the vacuum heat insulating material can be applied and the products to which the vacuum heat insulating material can be applied are greatly increased.

易に実施できることが判った。At this time, when the thickness of the core material of the groove portion is not more than half of that of the other side surface portion, the vacuum heat insulating material can be easily bent without interference of the core material at the time of bending. However, it was difficult to bend at more than half. More desirably, it was found that the thinner the groove, the easier the bending process can be performed.

いような形状とすることが望ましい。Further, the shape of the groove can be freely set in accordance with a desired bending angle. However, the shape of the groove does not apply a load to the gas barrier film at the time of compression molding, and when the flat vacuum heat insulating material is bent, the groove forms a core. Desirably, the shape does not interfere with the material.

きる。On the other hand, since the vacuum heat insulating material of the present invention has a core material structure in which sheets are stacked, a vortex is generated at the time of evacuation because gas flow resistance is different between the sheet surface and the sheet. As a result, the eddy current becomes a viscous flow and functions as a kind of pump action,
The evacuation time is remarkably reduced, and productivity is improved. Furthermore,
As a result, the ultimate internal pressure of the vacuum heat insulating material is reduced in a short time, so that a vacuum heat insulating material having excellent heat insulating performance can be easily produced.

A core material is formed by laminating the three sheet-like molded bodies. The fiber diameter was calculated based on the SEM image. At this time, the bulk density of the core material was 0.1 to 0.2 g / cm 3 . In addition, if the number of laminations is two or more, it can be produced without any problem in productivity, and a desired core material thickness can be obtained by combining various sheets having different thicknesses.
