Description

  The present invention relates to an automobile.

  In recent automobiles, environmental specifications have been strengthened from the viewpoint of global environmental conservation, and fuel consumption rate improvement, exhaust gas purification, use of recycled materials, etc. are being promoted. In particular, in improving fuel consumption rates, hybrid vehicles that use an internal combustion engine (for example, a gasoline engine or diesel engine) and an electric motor together, or diesel engine vehicles that use a common rail system have appeared, and are being improved significantly. .

  In general, auxiliary machines driven by the engine include a water pump for cooling the engine, an oil pump for lubrication, a generator (alternator), and a compressor for a car air conditioner. Moreover, in a car air conditioner for a hybrid vehicle, an electric compressor and a compressor that can be used in combination with an engine drive and an electric drive are used.

  As a means for improving the fuel consumption rate of an automobile, there is a reduction in power of the above-mentioned auxiliary machines in addition to improvement in engine performance and hybridization. In particular, the power of car air conditioners is affected by the cooling load in summer and the heating load in winter. For example, in summer, the outside air temperature is high and the solar radiation is strong, so the temperature in the passenger compartment rises and the cooling load increases. In winter, the outside air temperature is low, so the heat in the passenger compartment leaks to the outside and the heating load increases.

  In addition, because engine exhaust heat is used for heating a hybrid vehicle that combines an engine and a motor, the engine is always operated and the fuel consumption rate may be deteriorated.

  On the other hand, in order to improve the fuel consumption rate, improving the thermal efficiency of the engine simultaneously reduces the exhaust heat of the engine. Moreover, if the motor drive time increases with the spread of hybrid vehicles, the engine drive and engine exhaust heat cannot be used during this time, so an electric heat pump type may be used for the car air conditioner. In order to deal with these factors, it is essential to reduce the air conditioning load in the passenger compartment and to reduce the power required for the car air conditioner.

  In recent years, vacuum heat insulating materials with high heat insulating performance have been used in refrigerators to save energy and expand the effective space in the cabinet. As an automobile to which this vacuum heat insulating material is applied, for example, those described in Patent Document 1 to Patent Document 4 below are known.

  In the main body structure of an automobile described in Patent Document 2, a vacuum heat insulating material is disposed inside a roof portion and a door portion of a passenger compartment in an automobile equipped with a vehicle air conditioner.

  In the heat insulating vehicle described in Patent Document 3, in a vehicle having an interior space in the shape of a passenger compartment, the surfaces of the hollow space and the internal space that define the outside are provided with a heat insulating material or are made of a heat insulating material.

  In the thermal functional structure for automobiles described in Patent Document 4, a vehicle body for partitioning a vehicle compartment is divided into two parts, a vehicle body upper part and a vehicle body lower part, with a substantially horizontal boundary line as a boundary, and each has a different heat insulation function. Have.

  Moreover, as for the vacuum heat insulating material, what was described in patent document 5-patent document 7, for example is known as a method of measuring the vacuum degree because a vacuum degree has big influence on heat insulation performance.

  In the vacuum degree measuring device of Patent Document 5, means for calculating the degree of vacuum and means for generating vibration corresponding to the calculated degree of vacuum are embedded in the object to be measured.

  The refrigerator disclosed in Patent Document 6 includes means for diagnosing deterioration and breakage of the vacuum heat insulating material using, for example, temperature and heat flux.

  In the decompression degree inspection apparatus and inspection method for a package of Patent Document 7, the internal pressure of the package is measured from the transmitted sound pressure using an ultrasonic sensor.

  The use of the vacuum heat insulating material also requires recovery from the viewpoints of recycling and disposal, and the methods described in, for example, Patent Document 8 to Patent Document 10 are known.

  In the refrigerator of patent document 8, the burying position of a vacuum heat insulating material is displayed on the refrigerator main body.

  In the vacuum heat insulating material and the dismantling and recovering method of Patent Document 9, a mark indicating the mounting position of the vacuum heat insulating material is displayed on the outer plate surface of the refrigerator, and the outer plate is cut along the mark to take out the vacuum heat insulating material. ing.

  When a vacuum heat insulating material is used for heat insulation of an automobile, particularly a passenger compartment, the heat input / output between the passenger compartment and the outside is reduced, so the heat load is reduced and the power of the car air conditioner can be reduced. However, in the prior art (Patent Document 1 to Patent Document 4), there is no statement about a specific method for detaching the vacuum heat insulating material.

  In automobiles, it is considered that there is a lot of work to remove the interior insulation material in the vehicle interior and remove the vacuum insulation material between the exterior wall and the interior material during manufacturing, vehicle inspection and repair, and installation of optional equipment. It is done. Also, in order to increase the recycling rate of parts, such as when an automobile is discarded, it is necessary that the vacuum heat insulating material can be easily removed and separated and collected.

  Furthermore, not only is it used for the walls that form the vehicle compartment space, but also contains other automobile parts such as exhaust purification catalysts provided in the exhaust ducts from the hood, battery, and engine of the engine room. Catalyst containers and main mufflers, sub-mufflers and exhaust ducts, intake ducts and throttle bodies to engines, exhaust recirculation devices (EGR), units containing evaporators and blowers of car air conditioners, and air ducts leading to the interior of the vehicle, There are many possible applications for window washer fluid tanks, brake oil tanks, gasoline, light oil and other fuel tanks, steering wheels, shift levers and covers. These parts are different in material, shape, maintenance method and timing, and the environment (for example, temperature) in which the vacuum insulation material is used is also different, and it is necessary to attach the vacuum insulation material in an optimal desorption method for each. .

  Moreover, in the said prior art (patent document 1 to patent document 4), the consideration of the shaping | molding of the vacuum heat insulating material according to the curved surface and uneven | corrugated shape of the structure of the motor vehicle in the case of using a vacuum heat insulating material for a motor vehicle has not been reached. .

  A vacuum heat insulating material is generally manufactured by enclosing glass wool as a core material in a gas barrier film and an adsorbent that adsorbs moisture and gas components, and heat-welding the end of the gas barrier film after evacuation. Therefore, at the time of desorption of the vacuum heat insulating material, a method capable of maintaining the degree of vacuum without damaging the gas barrier film constituting the vacuum heat insulating material is required.

  In the manufacture of automobiles, the modularization of parts has progressed, and there are many cases where parts modules are assembled at other factories and delivered to automobile assembly factories. Even within the same factory, since the parts factory and the main assembly factory are different and the production line is also different, there is a possibility that the vacuum insulation material attached during the parts transportation or assembly may be damaged. Similarly, it is expected that the vacuum heat insulating material may be damaged during the above-described vehicle inspection, repair, and installation of optional equipment.

  Furthermore, in the case of automobiles, the location of a load due to the movement of a person due to the ride, the manner in which the load is applied (for example, a portion where a foot gets on, a portion where a load is applied locally, such as a shoe heel), and loading / unloading of the baggage The vacuum insulation material may also be damaged due to factors such as the portion hitting the vacuum insulation material. Furthermore, even if it is manufactured with high precision, it is conceivable that the vacuum insulation material will deteriorate over time if used for many years (the degree of vacuum decreases).

  Even when the vacuum heat insulating material is damaged as described above, a means is required that can easily determine whether or not there is damage, and can easily determine the deterioration over time. At this time, it is best if the determination can be made with the vacuum heat insulating material attached. At the same time, a protection method is required so as not to damage the vacuum heat insulating material during work or boarding.

  However, in the above prior art (Patent Document 5 to Patent Document 10), the use of a vacuum heat insulating material covered with another heat insulating material like a refrigerator, or a recovery method that does not consider recycling, a vacuum heat insulating material It is based on the premise of a single inspection, and when it is actually used in an automobile, it does not reach the above-mentioned viewpoint for solving the problem. As described in Patent Document 5, when the vacuum degree calculation means is embedded in the vacuum heat insulating material, it is expected that the embedded position will be unclear if it is made into a product, and measures for that are not taken into consideration. .

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and improves productivity, handling, reliability, functionality, inspection, maintenance, and recyclability, and is equipped with a vacuum heat insulating material. The goal is to provide cars that are even easier on the global environment.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention not only damages the vacuum heat insulating material not only in the vehicle compartment but also in the mounting position on the automobile parts and in the production and maintenance of the automobile and automobile parts. Means that make it easy to remove and install, means for ensuring and maintaining the reliability of vacuum insulation materials for use in automobiles, and multi-functional means for sound insulation, vibration control, and buffering effects in addition to insulation for vacuum insulation materials In addition, a means to determine the product quality such as the degree of vacuum and aging of the vacuum insulation material even when it is attached to a car or a part, and also protection that does not damage the vacuum insulation material during manufacturing, maintenance, or use of the car Provided is an automobile using a vacuum heat insulating material. Furthermore, the present invention provides an automobile using a vacuum heat insulating material that can easily form a vacuum heat insulating material suitable for the structure of the automobile.

  Furthermore, the present invention provides a method for easily handling a vacuum heat insulating material when manufacturing, maintaining, and disposing of a vehicle using the vacuum heat insulating material.

  And the application to the motor vehicle of a vacuum heat insulating material shall be made concrete. As a result, it is possible to reduce the heat load in the passenger compartment space of the automobile throughout the year and to reduce the power required for driving the car air conditioner. In addition, the use of vacuum heat insulating materials not only for automobile bodies but also for automobile parts reduces the heat loss and controls the entry and exit of heat to achieve the optimum state (efficient operation state). Loss can be reduced.

Therefore, by reducing the energy loss and power of automobiles, the fuel consumption rate is improved, and exhaust gases such as CO ₂ (carbon dioxide), HC (hydrocarbon), CO (oxygen monoxide), NOx (nitrogen oxide), etc. Reduction can promote prevention of global warming and air pollution.

  As the covering material used in the present embodiment, it is desirable to use a member having higher strength than the vacuum heat insulating material. By using such a covering material, it is possible to firmly protect the vacuum heat insulating material body and improve the strength of the entire member.

  Further, as the covering material, a member having high flexibility may be used. By using such a member, it is possible to improve the attachment property to an uneven surface.

At this time, various vacuum heat insulating materials can be used. For example, even when the vacuum heat insulating material itself has a plate shape, if the shape of the covering material is made different on each surface, the restriction on the arrangement location can be reduced. By having unevenness on the surface of the covering material along the shape of the part where the heat insulator is placed, the workability of mounting on the placement surface is reduced, while the difficulty of forming the vacuum heat insulating material is about the same as before. Can be greatly improved.

  In addition, the shape of the inner surface of the covering material or the vacuum heat insulating material is constituted by a flat or curved surface and a plurality of flat or curved ridge lines, and the ridge lines are formed as right angles, obtuse angles or curved lines so as not to provide an acute angle portion. Is effective. By adopting such a shape, it is possible to suppress a local stress from acting on the vacuum heat insulating material, and to protect the vacuum heat insulating material from being damaged.

  As the covering material, various variations are possible. For example, a foamed heat insulating material having a heat insulating property can be used for the covering material covering one surface of the vacuum heat insulating material, and a rubber material having a vibration damping performance can be used for the other surface. In this case, both the functions of heat insulation and vibration suppression can be achieved with a single member by disposing the one surface facing the heat source and the other surface facing the vibration source. A rubber material having sound insulation performance can also be used, and these can be combined to promote use in various scenes.

  As the core material of the vacuum heat insulating material, a member having a melting point higher than the heat generation temperature of the heat source to be insulated is used in order to ensure heat resistance and increase the reliability of the vacuum heat insulating material.

  Depending on the location of the vacuum insulation material, thermal stress may be generated due to the difference in conditions between the high temperature side and the low temperature side, and the vacuum insulation material may be curved. The vacuum heat insulating material is curved and disposed so as to have a concave shape on the side. At this time, thermal stress can be alleviated, and heat insulation performance can be maintained and reliability can be improved.

  In order to manage the product, it is effective to provide a recording unit that records the product information of the internal vacuum heat insulating material on the surface of the heat insulator. In this recording unit, at least one or more pieces of information of manufacturing date, manufacturing number, or material are recorded. Then, by aligning the position of the recording unit with the built-in position of the vacuum degree detection sensor, the built-in position of the vacuum degree detection sensor can be specified even above the heat insulator.

  As the recording unit, any one of an IC tag, an RFID chip, a barcode, or a two-dimensional code can be used, and product information can be easily extracted by using a reader such as a barcode reader.

  As a specific structure for further improving the reliability, it is also effective to reduce the force applied to the vacuum heat insulating material. In the case where the core is provided with a molded body covered with a gas barrier outer covering film and a covering material that detachably covers the molded body from the outside, by dispersing the stress, A structure that reduces the load applied to the vacuum insulation is adopted. For example, in the covering material, the uppermost surface above the molded body and the lowermost surface below the molded body are substantially horizontal planes, and the projection surface of the molded body onto the horizontal plane is covered with the covering material. So that it is housed inside the outer periphery. By setting it as this structure, since a part of load applied to a heat insulating body escapes and passes a vacuum heat insulating material, it can prevent that all the force acts on a vacuum heat insulating material.

  That is, the vacuum heat insulating material is protected by letting a part of the load received from the horizontal plane escape to the lowermost lower surface from the outside of the projection surface of the molded body onto the horizontal plane. Also, if a gap is provided between the covering and the molded body covering the molded body from above, the vacuum heat insulating material can be easily attached to and detached from the molded body, and the stress acting on the molded body is vacuum insulated. It can be blocked from reaching the material.

  If a heat insulator using the above vacuum heat insulating material is used in an automobile, the insulator is disposed on a surface constituting the interior space of the automobile, for example, mainly on the ceiling surface, floor surface, or window glass interior space side. Thus, it is possible to effectively reduce the heat load by blocking the heat input / output of the portion that most affects the heat load of the passenger compartment space.

  Therefore, for example, it is possible to reduce the temperature rise in the car parked under hot weather, or to suppress the temperature drop during outdoor parking in winter, and to reduce the heat load of the air conditioner for automobiles, the result Engine load can be reduced, fuel efficiency can be improved, exhaust gas can be further purified, and greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced.

  Also, by using it in the hood of the engine room, the engine in the winter can be warmed up quickly. In addition, by using it as a battery, it suppresses battery capacity degradation at low temperatures in winter, and minimizes the influence of outside air, so it controls the temperature characteristics of the battery to an optimal state by performing appropriate cooling. It is possible.

  In addition, by using it in a catalyst container containing an exhaust purification catalyst provided in the exhaust duct from the engine, the engine exhaust temperature is low, that is, the catalyst is not warmed in a short time. In addition, exhaust purification can be promoted.

  In addition, by using it for the main muffler, sub muffler, and exhaust duct, the exhaust gas temperature of the engine can be kept high, and exhaust heat can be recovered.

  Moreover, by using it for the intake duct, throttle body, and exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR) to the engine, cooling of the intake air can be suppressed and the engine efficiency can be improved. In addition, by using a vacuum heat insulating material for the car air conditioner evaporator, the unit containing the heater and blower, and the air duct leading to the inside of the car, heat loss in the air conditioner unit can be suppressed, and the power of the car air conditioner can be reduced.

  By using it for fuel tanks such as window washer liquid tanks, brake oil tanks, gasoline, diesel, etc., it is possible to keep the physical properties of the fluid, especially the viscosity, appropriately.

  Also, if it is used as a cover for a steering wheel or shift lever, for example, it can prevent the steering wheel or shift lever from overheating when parked under hot weather in the summer, and driving immediately after removing the cover It becomes possible.

  In this way, it is possible to control the heat of automobile parts, and the device can be used at an optimal temperature state.

  It can also be used for an air conditioner and an air passage that communicates the air conditioner and the vehicle interior space and guides cool air or warm air from the air conditioner to the vehicle interior space. For example, if the periphery of the air passage is surrounded by a vacuum heat insulating material covered with a covering material and the covering material forms part of the wall surface without the air passage, the function as a structural material in addition to the heat insulating material can be achieved. Can have both. At this time, if a heat insulating member made of a foam material is used as the covering material, the heat insulating action of the heat insulating member can prevent condensation on the surface of the vacuum heat insulating material due to the air flowing through the air passage.

  In addition, since the vacuum heat insulating material is a heat insulator that is covered with a covering material, the vacuum heat insulating material can also be used in automobile use, such as loading and unloading luggage, getting on and off passengers, maintenance work such as vehicle inspection, and automobile manufacturing processes. It is possible to maintain and manage the system without impairing its performance.

  In addition, the vacuum insulation material can be easily molded to match the structure of the automobile, so the vacuum insulation material can be removed and attached more easily, and the storage space during work can be saved, improving workability and ease of use. To do.

  Moreover, the dead space can be reduced, and not only the heat insulation performance is improved, but also the attachment thickness can be reduced. In addition, since a plurality of layers are provided so as to overlap the heat intrusion direction, the thickness of the vacuum heat insulating material can be made variable according to the place and application, and the heat intrusion is firmly blocked. be able to.

  Also, since it can be used as a multi-functional material that has both a vibration control function and a sound insulation function in addition to the heat insulation function, the number of parts can be reduced and the number of mounting steps can be reduced. Furthermore, it has a means for moving a heat insulator disposed on the interior side of the window glass and an impact sensor for detecting an impact acting on the automobile, and the heat insulator covers the window glass in response to a signal from the impact sensor. By doing so, it has not only the effect of a heat insulating material but also an effect as an impact buffering material that protects passengers from impact.

  Equipped with a thermal insulation around the vacuum insulation material and a vacuum sensor, which is easy to use without damaging the vacuum insulation material during manufacturing and maintenance of automobiles and automotive parts. In addition, it is possible to determine the product quality such as the degree of vacuum of the vacuum heat insulating material and the aging of the vacuum degree even in a state where it is attached to an automobile or a part.

  Furthermore, since the vacuum heat insulating material provided with a protection means that does not damage the vacuum heat insulating material during manufacturing, maintenance, or use of the automobile is used, the same vacuum heat insulating material can be used over a long period of time.

  In addition, a vacuum heat insulating material in which the core material is covered with an exterior film having gas barrier properties, a covering material covering the vacuum heat insulating material, and a heat insulating body having a vacuum degree detection sensor provided in the covering material are detachably provided. When the vacuum degree of the vacuum insulation material is detected, and the deterioration of the vacuum degree is detected, the core material is overlaid and covered with an outer membrane having a gas barrier property, and the inside of the outer membrane can be decompressed and regenerated as a thermal insulator, so that maintenance can be performed. And the amount of industrial waste can be reduced. Further, since the degree of vacuum of the vacuum heat insulating material and product information can be detected from the outside using a diagnostic device, it is possible to easily determine whether or not parts need to be replaced, and the maintainability is greatly improved.

  In addition, when attaching a heat insulator with a built-in vacuum heat insulating material to the automobile body, for example, if the attachment method can be selected at the right place, such as a hook-and-loop fastener, magnet, hook, suction cup, band, double-sided adhesive, etc., the heat insulator Therefore, it is easy to separate the material of parts when disposing of the vehicle or replacing parts. Furthermore, since the quality can be judged not only for the vacuum heat insulating material but also for the attached state, if it is defective, it can be reprocessed and reused.

  In addition, since the vacuum insulation material is covered with a coating material to form an insulation, work can be performed without damaging the vacuum insulation during transportation and storage, and the insulation can be stacked and stored. In addition, the storage space is minimal, and it is possible to carry multiple items at the same time using a forklift or truck.

To summarize the above contents, auxiliary power reduction and such as a car air conditioner, the engine efficiency, CO ₂ emissions reduced suppression of global warming can be reduced. In addition, rapid start-up of catalyst performance such as warming up of the catalyst further reduces emissions of nitrogen oxides and promotes air pollution prevention. Recycling can be improved by separating automobile parts, and at the same time, the amount of waste is reduced.

  From the viewpoint of the user who uses the car, the comfort of the passenger compartment is improved, driving attention is promoted, and the fuel cost can be reduced.

  In addition, from the viewpoint of users who manufacture and maintain automobiles, it will be possible to provide automobiles that are more friendly to the global environment, with minimal care in handling vacuum insulation materials and less storage space during work. Since the mounting work is also easy, the increased work amount can be reduced.

  As a result, it is possible to provide a car that is easier on the global environment. Hereinafter, further examples of the above embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 56.

  FIG. 39 shows the basic structure of the vacuum heat insulating material used in this example. The vacuum heat insulating material encloses an outer membrane (gas barrier film) 140 with a core material 141 and an adsorbent 142 that adsorbs moisture and gas components, and heat-welds the end portion 143 of the outer membrane 140 after evacuation. As the core material 141, glass wool is suitable. Further, glass wool solidified with a binder may be used as the core material. In addition, the adsorbent may not be enclosed as long as moisture can be completely removed during evacuation.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 is a view as seen from the side of the vehicle body 1 and FIG. 2 is a view as seen from the front side.

Surface 7 (heat insulator 2a), floor surface 9 (heat insulators 2c, 2d, 2e), back surface 8 (heat insulator 2b), partition surface 6 (heat insulator 2f) between engine room 4 and vehicle compartment, side surface 10 (heat insulation) The bodies 2h and 2i) are arranged respectively. A heat insulator 2g is also arranged inside the hood 5 of the engine room 4.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 3, the core material 13 is covered with the gas barrier film 12, and the vacuum heat insulating material 11 evacuated is further covered with the covering material 14 and the covering material 15 to form a heat insulating body. As a result, the vacuum heat insulating material 11 is protected from an impact from the outside, and the degree of vacuum can be maintained without being damaged. In this embodiment, the covering material 15 is a concave container, in which the vacuum heat insulating material 11 is housed, and the convex lid is closed. Even when the vacuum heat insulating material is attached, the covering material is in direct contact with the mounting surface, so that the inside vacuum insulating material 11 is protected.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 4 shows a case where the vacuum degree detection sensor 16 is attached to the side surface 18 of the vacuum heat insulating material. When a binder is not used for the core material of the vacuum heat insulating material, the volume of the vacuum heat insulating material expands when the degree of vacuum deteriorates. By utilizing this characteristic, the degree-of-vacuum detection sensor 16 may be attached to the side surface 18 and a change in the thickness of the vacuum heat insulating material may be detected using, for example, a strain gauge as the sensor. If there is a vacuum degree detection sensor 16 on the side surface 18 of the vacuum heat insulating material, the position of the vacuum degree detection sensor 16 is not known when the vacuum heat insulating material is attached. is required. This display method is not particularly limited as long as the position can be recognized.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In FIG. 5, the vacuum degree detection sensor 16 is attached to the side surface of the vacuum heat insulating material. The vacuum detection sensor is roughly composed of a power generation circuit 20, a signal processing circuit 21, and a transmission circuit 22. For example, the power generation circuit 20 includes a vibration power generation circuit and a battery. The transmission circuit 22 includes a speaker and a vibration generator. The signal processing circuit 21 has a function of processing a signal from the sensor for detecting the degree of vacuum in the vacuum heat insulating material and generating a signal corresponding to the degree of vacuum from the transmission circuit.

  For example, when it is desired to inspect the vacuum degree of the vacuum heat insulating material, the inspector gives a signal 24 such as vibration to the vacuum degree detection sensor 16 using the vibrator 23. Electric power required by the power generation circuit 20 using vibration power generation in the vacuum degree detection sensor 16 is generated. A sensor in the signal processing circuit detects the degree of vacuum using this electric power, and a signal 25 such as a sound corresponding to the degree of vacuum is transmitted from the transmission circuit 22. By this sound, the inspector can determine whether the degree of vacuum of the vacuum heat insulating material is appropriate.

  As a means for detecting the degree of vacuum, for example, there is a method in which a strain sensor is attached to the side surface of the vacuum heat insulating material and is taken as the output. As another method, there is a method in which a sensor detects the transmission of heat by heating an exterior film.

  According to these methods, the vacuum degree of the vacuum heat insulating material can be inspected from the outside of the heat insulating body, so that the use of the vacuum heat insulating material is greatly expanded, and the use of the vacuum heat insulating material can be promoted in a wide range of fields. it can.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In FIG. 10, foam materials 60a and 60b are used as the covering material for the heat insulator shown in FIG. As the foam material, it is desirable to use polystyrene foam, urethane foam, AS foam, BS foam or the like.

  FIG. 11 is an example of a method for producing a covering material formed around the vacuum heat insulating material 11. Place the vacuum heat insulating material 11 in the mold materials 64a and 64b, pour the foaming solution into the gap between the mold material and the vacuum heat insulating material through the solution inlet 62, evacuate the internal air from the air vent 63, and prevent bubbles from forming. 61 is filled. Thereafter, the foam material is foamed, and a covering material covering the vacuum heat insulating material 11 is formed.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 12 shows a case where rubbers 65a and 65b having vibration damping performance are used as the covering material for the heat insulator shown in FIG. Butyl rubber is desirable as the rubber material having damping performance.

  FIG. 13 shows a case in which members 66a and 66b having sound insulation performance are used as the covering material for the heat insulator shown in FIG. As a member having sound insulation performance, it is desirable to use an inorganic fiber molded body in which glass wool is bound with a binder.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 14 uses members 67a and 67b having higher strength than the vacuum heat insulating material as the covering material for the heat insulating body shown in FIG. Examples of members having higher strength than the vacuum heat insulating material include cured plastic, ceramic, FRP, and hard rubber. Although a metal member may be used, since this member becomes a heat bridge and heat is transmitted by heat conduction, the characteristics of the vacuum heat insulating material cannot be fully utilized.

  The heat insulator shown in FIG. 15 has a thick surface 68 and a thin surface 69 of the covering material surrounding the vacuum heat insulating material 11. The thickness has a relationship of t1> t2. For example, when the thickness of the covering material of a normal heat insulator is t2, when using it on a surface where a load is applied or an object may collide, the thickness of the covering material of the heat insulator is t1, Increase the strength.

  For example, in the case of an automobile, when used on a floor surface or the like, the driver's feet are on an accelerator pedal, a brake pedal, etc., and thus the heel of shoes is attached on the floor surface. Therefore, stress concentration acts on the covering material of the heat insulator by the corners of the heel of the shoe, the covering material is broken, the vacuum heat insulating material inside is damaged, the vacuum is not maintained, and the heat insulating performance may be deteriorated.

  However, if the covering material on which the heel of the shoe hits is made thicker and stronger, the vacuum heat insulating material can be protected. In order to improve the strength, it is desirable to increase the thickness on both sides, but there are also adverse effects such as an increase in cost, an increase in weight, and an increase in thickness. Further, since the covering material itself is inferior in heat insulating performance as compared with the vacuum heat insulating material, it is possible to improve the heat insulating performance by using a material having low thermal conductivity.

  FIG. 16 uses members 70a and 70b having higher flexibility than the vacuum heat insulating material as the covering material for the heat insulating body shown in FIG. Examples of the member having higher flexibility than the vacuum heat insulating material include softened plastic, soft rubber, gel material (impact absorber), and sponge. The high flexibility of the coating material can improve workability, such as a countermeasure by changing the shape of the mounting location, in addition to protecting the vacuum heat insulating material inside from the impact.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 17, the thickness t3 of the vacuum heat insulating material 11 of the heat insulating body shown in FIG. 3 is 5 mm or more. This is to ensure the heat insulating performance of the vacuum heat insulating material more reliably, and the thinner the heat insulating performance, the lower the heat insulating performance. Therefore, the thickness is preferably 5 mm or more from the viewpoint of the strength of the vacuum heat insulating material and the heat insulating performance.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 18 is a view in which a part of the covering material of the heat insulating body shown in FIG. 3 is cut out to partially expose the vacuum heat insulating material 11. When the notch 71 is present, when the vacuum heat insulating material is scratched or pinholes are opened and the degree of vacuum is deteriorated, the vacuum heat insulating material of the notch is raised, and the vacuum heat insulating material 11 is visually or palpated. Degradation of the degree of vacuum can be determined.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram in which the material of the lid portion 72 that covers one side and the material of the container portion 73 that covers the other side are different from each other in the insulating material covering material shown in FIG. Thereby, the vacuum heat insulating material 11 is protected by appropriately selecting the material of the covering material according to the location where the heat insulating material is used.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 20 is a product obtained by processing the shape of the covering material 15 in accordance with the shape of the place where the heat insulating body is disposed in the covering material of the heat insulating body shown in FIG. 3 described above. In this embodiment, the covering material 15 has a concave portion 74 and a convex portion 75. The feature of this embodiment is that the built-in vacuum heat insulating material 11 may be a plate material in order to match the shape of the covering material with the shape of the attachment location. Therefore, the bending process etc. of a vacuum heat insulating material become unnecessary.

  In the heat insulator of FIG. 21, the core member 13 has a thickness t4 portion and a thickness t5 portion, and the thickness is in a relationship of t4> t5. If there is a thin portion of the core material 13 as in this embodiment, the vacuum heat insulating material can be easily bent. For example, the vacuum heat insulating material can be attached by fitting it to the curved surface portion of the vehicle body.

  Moreover, since the amount of the core material is small, the thin portion of the core material 13 is inferior to the thick heat insulating portion. However, by setting the width W1 of the thin portion of the vacuum heat insulating material according to the bending amount, the thick portions at both ends of the thin portion are joined by bending, and the gap between the thin portions can be filled to supplement the heat insulating characteristics. The minimum thickness t5 is the thickness of one glass wool fiber used for the core material of the core material 13 plus the thickness of two exterior films (gas barrier films). t4 is preferably at least about 5 mm.

  The heat insulator shown in FIG. 22 has a portion A with the core material 13 and a portion A without the core material 13. The portion A without the core material is bonded to the exterior film 76. By making a portion without the core member 13 as in this embodiment, the insulation can be made discontinuous, so that it can be fitted to an acute curved surface, and the degree of freedom in attaching the insulation is increased. . Further, it is not necessary to mold in accordance with the shape of the vehicle body, and it is possible to match on the spot.

  Therefore, it is possible to attach the heat insulator without making a mold for each change of the vehicle type. In the part A without the vacuum heat insulating material, the heat insulating performance is very inferior, but by setting the width W2 according to the bending amount, the parts with the vacuum heat insulating material at both ends of the part A without the vacuum heat insulating material are bent. Together, the gap in the portion A where there is no vacuum heat insulating material can be filled to supplement the heat insulating properties.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 23 shows the shapes of the vacuum heat insulating material 11, the covering material 77, and the covering material 78. The vacuum heat insulating material 11 has a flat plate shape, a shape in which the flat plate is bent, or a shape having irregularities on the surface, but the ridge line of the vacuum heat insulating material 11 is a right angle, an obtuse angle or a curve, and the surface of the vacuum heat insulating material 11 has an acute angle. No part is provided. In FIG. 23, all corners are obtuse.

  On the other hand, the inner surface of the region in contact with the vacuum heat insulating material is constituted by a flat surface or a curved surface and a plurality of flat or curved ridge lines, and an acute angle portion is formed on the inner surface of the covering material as a right-angled obtuse angle or curve. We do not provide it. In FIG. 23, the ridgelines of the covering materials 77 and 78 are curved. This is for avoiding that when an acute angle part exists in a coating | covering material, the part will hit a vacuum heat insulating material, a gas barrier film will be damaged, and the deterioration of a vacuum degree will be caused.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 24, a multi-functional heat insulator 79 having a heat insulation function and a sound insulation function is used on the ceiling surface 7, and a multi-function heat insulator 80 having a heat insulation function and a vibration control function is used for the partition wall 6 between the engine room and the vehicle compartment. .

  One surface of the heat insulator 79 is covered with a foam heat insulating material having a heat insulating performance, the other surface is covered with a rubber material having a sound insulating performance, and the surface having the sound insulating performance is a noise source side of the automobile (this embodiment) In this embodiment, the surface having heat insulation performance is arranged toward the heat source side of the automobile (in the vehicle in this embodiment). The heat insulator 80 has one surface covered with a foam heat insulating material having heat insulating performance, the other surface is covered with a rubber material having vibration damping performance, and the surface having vibration damping performance is a vehicle vibration source side ( In the present embodiment, the engine room) and the surface having heat insulation performance are arranged toward the heat source side of the automobile (in this embodiment, the interior of the vehicle).

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 25 is a detailed view of the side surface of FIG. 2, and the heat insulator 2 j is also arranged inside the side glass 81 that forms the vehicle interior space 3. FIG. 26 is a detailed view of the front part of FIG. 1. The heat insulator 2k is shown inside the windshield 82 forming the vehicle interior space 3, and FIGS. 27 and 28 show the detailed rear part of FIG. It is a figure and the heat insulator 2m is arrange | positioned inside the rear glass 84 which forms the vehicle interior space 3, respectively.

  Thus, by enclosing the vehicle interior space 3 with a heat insulator, it is possible to block the heat intrusion from the outside of the vehicle interior and also prevent the heat leakage to the outside of the vehicle interior. Specifically, for example, when a car is parked under hot weather in summer, it is known that the air in the vehicle interior space 3 (hereinafter referred to as vehicle interior air) is warmed by the solar radiation and becomes high temperature. .

  However, by covering the surface surrounding the vehicle interior space 3 with a vacuum heat insulating material as in this embodiment, the heat intrusion due to solar radiation can be blocked and the temperature rise in the vehicle interior space 3 can be suppressed. As a result, since the air temperature in the vehicle interior to be cooled by the car air conditioner is low, the cooling load is small, energy saving is achieved, and power for driving the car air conditioner can be reduced. This is effective not only during parking but also during traveling.

  In recent vehicles, infrared (IR) cut glass is used to suppress solar infrared transmission. However, since the infrared ray is absorbed by the infrared ray cutting agent in the IR (infrared ray) cut glass, the temperature of the glass surface is increased. This heat is transmitted to the vehicle interior space as radiant heat or is dissipated to heat the vehicle interior air. Therefore, it is desirable to arrange a vacuum heat insulating material also inside the glass surface as in this embodiment. According to this configuration, the temperature rise in the passenger compartment is reduced.

  However, the application of a thermal insulator to the glass surface can only be used during parking because the thermal insulator is an opaque material. Therefore, it is necessary to lower the heat insulator 2j inside the side glass in FIG. 25 during traveling. In addition, as shown in FIG. 26, for the windshield and rear glass, for example, the heat insulator 2k needs to be foldable so that the heat insulator can be spread on the glass surface only during parking.

  Further, in the rear glass, as shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, for example, if the heat insulator 2m can be opened and closed like a blind, it is opened during traveling to ensure a rear view, and the sunlight from above is It can be reflected off the surface of the insulation and closed during parking to block out sunlight.

  Providing these heat insulators around the vehicle interior space 3 is effective not only in summer but also in winter. In winter, contrary to summer, the temperature of outside air is lower than the temperature in the passenger compartment, so even if the passenger compartment is warmed by a car air conditioner heater, the heat escapes to the outside.

  However, by arranging the vehicle interior space 3 so as to surround the vehicle interior space 3 with heat insulation, heat leakage can be minimized and the heating load is reduced, resulting in energy saving and reduced power for driving the car air conditioner. it can. Further, in a hybrid vehicle of an engine and a motor, in order to obtain engine exhaust heat used for heating, the number of times the engine is operated can be minimized, resulting in fuel saving.

  Even when the heater is turned off, such as during parking, the interior space 3 is kept warm by the vacuum heat insulating material, so that the rate of temperature decrease is suppressed and the warmth is maintained.

  Further, the heat insulator 2f is also disposed on the partition wall 6 between the engine room 4 and the vehicle interior space 3, thereby preventing heat from entering from the engine room. Furthermore, by arranging the heat insulator 2g also inside the hood 5, it is possible to suppress an increase in the air temperature in the engine room due to solar radiation in summer and to suppress a decrease in the air temperature in the engine room in winter.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 29 uses a core material having a melting point higher than the ambient temperature of the place where the core material 85 of the vacuum heat insulating material 11 is used in the heat insulating material of FIG. 3 described above. Glass wool is suitable for the core material when used for the body of an automobile.

  The vacuum heat insulating material of FIG. 30 defines the bending direction of the bent portion 86 of the heat welded portion. The entire bent portion 86 is shaped so as to come to either side of the vacuum heat insulating material.

  FIG. 31 is a diagram in which the vacuum heat insulating material 87 of FIG. 30 is used in an automobile. In this way, the bent portion 86 is disposed so as to come to the vehicle interior space 3 and the engine room 4 side. This is because, for example, when the vehicle is parked when the solar radiation is strong, such as in summer, the vehicle body is heated and becomes extremely hot. Therefore, when the vacuum heat insulating material is in contact with the vehicle body, it may be considered that the temperature becomes higher than the heat resistant temperature of the heat welding portion forming the vacuum heat insulating material and the welding is peeled off.

  However, according to the arrangement of the vacuum heat insulating material and the vacuum heat insulating material of the present embodiment, the bent portion 86 of the heat welding portion is located in the vehicle interior space 3 or the engine room 4 side where the temperature is equal to or lower than the heat resistant temperature of the heat welding portion. Therefore, the heat welding part is protected and the reliability of the vacuum heat insulating material can be maintained. For this reason, the application range of a vacuum heat insulating material spreads.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 32 shows the case where the heat insulator is used inside the side glass attached to the door. The heat insulator 2j is also provided with a heat insulator vertical opening / closing mechanism 92 that moves up and down like the glass vertical opening / closing mechanism 91 of the side glass 81. The heat insulator vertical opening / closing mechanism 92 is configured by a combination of a pinion 94 and a rack 95 driven by a motor 93, and an arm 97 with the rack 95 moving the guide rail 96 to constitute a vertical opening / closing mechanism. Further, the heat insulator vertical opening / closing mechanism 92 is connected to the ECU 89, and the state is managed.

  An impact sensor 90 is attached to the vehicle body, and for example, an impact at the time of collision is detected and the heat insulator vertical mechanism 92 is operated to cover the inside (inside the room) of the side glass 81 and protect the passenger. The heat insulator 2j becomes a cushioning material, and can protect the passenger's head and the like.

  Since the heat insulator 2j is not transparent, it cannot be used during traveling. Therefore, it is necessary to remove it during traveling, and control by the heat insulator vertical mechanism 92 is required. Moreover, it is necessary to interlock with the opening and closing of the side glass. For example, when the window glass is open, it is necessary to control so that the heat insulator is also opened. For this reason, collective management by the ECU 89 is desirable.

  As an example, it is possible to control and manage that the insulator automatically opens when the engine starts, or that the insulator automatically closes when the side glass is closed and the engine stops. .

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 33 shows an arrangement of automobile parts to which a heat insulator is applied. In this figure, the heat insulator is, for example, an auxiliary battery 104, an intake duct 106 to the engine, a throttle body 107, a window washer tank 108, a brake oil tank 109, an EGR 110, and a catalyst in the middle of an exhaust duct 113 through which exhaust from the engine flows. 111, a main muffler 117, a sub muffler 116, an exhaust duct 113, and an electric / electronic circuit unit such as a fuel tank 115, a fuel pump 114, a drive battery 119, an inverter / converter 120, and an ECU 123. The hatched portion surrounding each part in the figure represents a heat insulator.

  The auxiliary battery 105 and the drive battery 119 are a battery for an auxiliary vehicle system of the automobile and a battery for a drive motor, respectively, and are constantly charged and discharged. The battery undergoes an endothermic reaction and an exothermic reaction during charging and discharging, but its performance is greatly affected by the ambient temperature. Whether the ambient temperature is high or low, it is not good for the battery.

  Accordingly, covering the battery with a heat insulator does not prevent the heat generated inside the battery from escaping to the outside, and thus the battery temperature is not likely to be high. However, since the battery can be blocked from the surrounding environment, an appropriate cooling device (105, 118) can be used. ) Can maintain an optimal temperature state, so that the battery efficiency can be improved. The cooling devices 105 and 118 are simply air-cooled.

  Since the inverter / converter 120 and the ECU 123 are electric / electronic circuit units, only the heat is generated from here, and the elements on the substrate are damaged when the temperature rises.

Even in these cases, by covering with a heat insulator, it is possible to control the temperature more precisely by providing an appropriate cooling device (121, 122) by shielding from the external environment and reliability of the electric / electronic circuit unit. Improvement can be achieved. Here, a water-cooled device is desirable as a cooling device for precise temperature control.

  In addition, automobile fuels are mainly gasoline and light oil, but diversification of fuels such as LNG (liquefied natural gas), dimethyl ether (DME), methanol, etc. can be considered in the future. Each fuel is also expected to require temperature management so that it can be mounted efficiently with optimum properties, and for this purpose, there is an effect of covering with a heat insulator such as the fuel tank 115 and the fuel pump 114.

  In the case of a fuel cell vehicle, various media such as hydrogen, gasoline, methanol and the like can be considered in the fuel tank 115, and the engine 101 and the generator 102 in FIG. 33 are replaced with the fuel cell unit 193.

  Here, the fuel cell unit 193 is a generic name for a reformer that extracts hydrogen from fuel, a fuel cell main body, and related auxiliary devices.

  In the supply / exhaust system of the engine 101, the intake duct 106 and the throttle body 107 are covered with a heat insulator. In the current car, when the outside air temperature is low, such as in winter, in order to speed up the warm-up of the engine 101, engine exhaust heat is passed through the throttle body and the intake air is heated. Therefore, by covering these portions with a heat insulator, the warm-up of the intake air due to the use of exhaust heat can be accelerated and the engine can be started up better.

  For this reason, since the time when the catalyst temperature is low can be shortened, nitrogen oxides (NOx) can be reduced and air pollution can be suppressed. Further, since the intake air temperature can be raised, the fuel injection amount for obtaining necessary power can be reduced, and the fuel consumption rate can be further improved.

  Further, an EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) 110 is used as a method of returning a part of the exhaust of the engine 101 to the intake and reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) in the exhaust. However, when this EGR amount increases, the combustion temperature and the combustion speed decrease, and the fuel consumption rate may deteriorate. Therefore, a heat insulator is used in the EGR device to suppress a decrease in the temperature of the exhaust gas that is recirculated.

  The catalyst 111 in the middle of the exhaust duct 113 also promotes oxidation and reduction reactions of HC, CO, and NOx contained in the exhaust, and reduces air pollutants. In some cases, such as when it is too low, this catalyst cannot be used for purification, and electric heating catalysts and adsorbents are used.

  In this embodiment, by covering this catalyst part with a heat insulator, for example, by keeping the temperature of the catalyst warmed by traveling at home (night) until the next morning traveling, the exhaust temperature is still It is possible to make the catalytic function work even from the point of time when the value does not increase. Thereby, purification of air pollutants such as HC, CO and NOx contained in the exhaust can be promoted.

  Further, by keeping the main muffler 117, the sub muffler 116, and the exhaust duct 113 with a heat insulator, heat radiation to the outside air can be suppressed, the exhaust gas temperature can be kept high, and the exhaust heat can be reused.

  Further, by covering the brake oil tank 109 with a heat insulator, the necessary viscosity can be maintained even when the surroundings are at a low temperature, and the reliability of the mechanism portion can be further increased. Furthermore, by covering the window washer tank 108 with a heat insulator, it is possible to melt frost on the windshield using warm water as the window washer liquid, for example, in winter.

  FIG. 34 shows a case where a heat insulator is used for the catalyst 111 in the middle of the exhaust duct 124 from the engine 101. Exhaust gas from the engine 101 flows through the catalyst 111. The engine exhaust temperature is about 700 to 800 ° C. in the catalyst 111.

  In this case, when a heat insulator is directly attached to the catalyst 111, the heat resistance of the glass wool as the core material of the vacuum heat insulating material therein is obtained, but the binder used together with the heat welded portion of the exterior film (gas barrier film) and the core material And the heat resistance of the adsorbent must be increased accordingly. Further, the temperature of the catalyst 111 becomes a problem when the engine exhaust temperature is low, that is, immediately after starting, and if the engine exhaust temperature is sufficiently high, heat insulation and heat insulation by the heat insulator are not necessary.

  Therefore, instead of directly attaching a heat insulator to the catalyst 111, a cooling device 127 surrounding the catalyst 111 is attached, and a heat insulator 125 is provided on the inner wall surface thereof. Therefore, the heat of the catalyst 111 is not directly transmitted to the heat insulator 125. A temperature sensor 129 is attached to the catalyst 111, detects the temperature of the catalyst 111, and opens and closes the open / close valves 128a and 128b in the cooling device 127 accordingly. When the on-off valves 128a and 128b are open, the fan 194 is simultaneously driven to discharge and cool the air in the cooling device 127, thereby protecting the vacuum heat insulating material 125 from high temperatures.

  When the engine 101 is stopped and the temperature of the catalyst 111 becomes equal to or lower than the set value, the cooling device 127 stops the fan 194, closes the on-off valves 128a and 128b, and traps the heat of the catalyst 111 in the cooling device 127 by the heat insulator 125. The catalyst 111 is kept warm for the next engine start. As a result, even when the engine 101 is started next time, the temperature of the catalyst 111 is high, the exhaust gas from the engine 101 is purified by the catalyst 111, and the exhaust gas is reduced in HC, CO, NOx, and air pollutants can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, special devices such as EGR can be removed, thermal efficiency can be increased, energy saving is achieved, and the fuel consumption rate is improved. Since the control of the cooling device 127 is also related to the engine control, it is desirable that the ECU 123 collectively performs control.

  FIG. 35 and FIG. 36 are attached with a heat insulator as a handle cover. It arrange | positions so that the handle | steering_wheel 130 may be inserted | pinched and covered with the heat insulation bodies 131a and 131b divided into two, and the buttons 132a and 132b which are attached to each heat insulation body are tied and fixed with the string 133. In this way, for example, it can be avoided that the handle becomes hot and cannot be gripped due to solar radiation in the hot weather in summer, and it is not necessary to cool the car air conditioner against the handle, thereby saving energy.

  FIG. 37 shows a heat insulator attached as a shift lever cover. The heat insulator 134 is disposed so as to cover the shift lever 135. In this way, for example, it can be avoided that the shift lever gets hot and cannot be gripped due to solar radiation under the hot sun in the summer. Since it can be blown with running wind even without it, it can save energy. The same effect can be obtained by attaching to other levers as well as the shift lever.

  FIG. 38 shows an example in which a heat insulator is built in a floor mat placed on the floor of a vehicle interior. The heat insulator 137 is in the cover 139 of the floor mat 136, and the portion on which the upper foot of the cover rests is reinforced with rubber rubber 138. Thus, for example, it is possible to reduce the ingress of cold air from the outside into the vehicle interior, such as in winter, and the leakage of heat from the vehicle interior space to the outside, thereby reducing the heating load.

  In summer, it is possible to reduce the intrusion of heat from the outside air on the floor and reduce the cooling load. As a result, the cooling / heating load is reduced, and energy saving can be achieved. Further, by providing a reinforcing member such as rubber rubber 138 on the vehicle interior side of the heat insulator 137, it is possible to prevent damage to the heat insulator and to suppress a decrease in the vacuum degree of the vacuum heat insulating material therein.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 40 shows a car air conditioner unit using a heat insulator. The entire car air conditioner unit is covered with a heat insulator 147, and the air passage 154 is configured with the heat insulator 147. The car air conditioner unit includes an evaporator 145 that is part of the refrigerant cycle of the car air conditioner, a heater 146 that is part of the engine cooling system, and a blower 144 that blows air and dampers (153a to 153f) that switch the air passage 154. And a blower passage 154 from the air intakes (148, 149) inside and outside the vehicle to the air outlets (150, 151, 152) in the vehicle.

  The evaporator 145 is a part of a cycle configured by sequentially connecting a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion valve, which are not shown in FIG. 40, with an engine drive or an electric drive by piping. In the evaporator 145, the evaporator 145 is connected to the evaporator 145. Has the function of cooling the air that flows in. The heater 146 is a part of the engine cooling system, and a part of the engine coolant circulated by an engine drive or electric coolant pump not shown in FIG. 40 flows therethrough. The heater 146 has a function of heating the air that has flowed into the heater 146.

  Air that has been sucked in from the outside air intake port 148 and the inside air intake port 149 by the opening and closing of the damper 153a is mixed and discharged to the flow path by a blower 144 including a fan and a fan motor. The discharged air is cooled by an evaporator 145, and a part of the air passes through a heater 146 and is adjusted to a required air temperature by dampers 153b and 153c.

  The temperature-adjusted air is distributed to the air outlet required by the dampers 153d, 153e, and 153f, the car outlet (head) 150, the car outlet (foot) 151, and the defrost outlet (152). At this time, if the air temperature in the air passage 154 is lower than the dew point temperature of the air around the car air conditioner unit, condensation may occur in the car air conditioner unit.

  When the air temperature in the air passage 154 is higher than the ambient temperature of the car air conditioner unit, heat escapes to the outside, and when the temperature is low on the inside and high on the outside, the heat flows into the inside. This affects the heating performance and cooling performance, respectively, and thus increases the power required for cooling and heating.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, by covering the car air conditioner unit with a heat insulator, or by configuring the air passage with a heat insulator, heat input / output can be blocked and deterioration of the air conditioning performance can be prevented. As a result, the power required for air conditioning can be reduced and the fuel consumption rate can be improved.

  Moreover, since the vacuum heat insulating material itself is also covered with the coating material, dew condensation on the surface of the vacuum heat insulating material is suppressed, and excellent long-term reliability can be achieved.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 41, a plurality of vacuum heat insulating materials 11a, 11b, and 11c are placed in the heat insulating body shown in FIG. 3 to improve the heat insulating performance. In this way, if a plurality of vacuum heat insulating materials are stacked to form a heat insulator, heat insulators of various sizes can be obtained depending on the application, and therefore, the application field can be expanded.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 42, when forming a heat insulator, a heat insulator having a built-in vacuum heat insulating material that is curved in a concave shape (bow shape) is arranged in an automobile. As described above, if the vehicle is parked when the solar radiation is strong, such as in summer, the vehicle body is heated and becomes extremely hot. At this time, since the surface temperatures of the surface 155a and the surface 155b are different in the shape of the normal vacuum heat insulating material, the degree of thermal expansion of the exterior film is different, and the heat welded portion is damaged.

  However, in the vacuum heat insulating material of the present embodiment, the surface that is curved in a concave shape (bow shape) is directed to the outside where the temperature is high. Therefore, the exterior film of the surface 155b is not damaged, and the reliability of the vacuum heat insulating material can be ensured.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 43 shows a case where the product information recording means 156 is attached to the heat insulator 157. In the product information recording means 156, for example, at least one piece of information such as a manufacturing date, a lot management number (manufacturing number), and a material used is recorded. As the product information recording means 158, an IC tag, a mu chip, a bar code, a two-dimensional code, or the like is used. FIG. 43 shows an example in which a barcode is attached.

  In FIG. 44, a protective cover 159 is attached on the product information recording means 156 attached to the covering material 160a of the heat insulator to protect the peeling and damage from the heat insulator. Further, the positional relationship between the degree-of-vacuum detection sensor 158 and the product information recording unit 156 installed on the side surface of the vacuum heat insulating material is shown. The product information recording means 156 is arranged above the position where the vacuum degree detection sensor 158 is attached.

  FIG. 45 shows a vacuum degree detection sensor attachment position display 163 on the protective cover 159 of the product information recording means 156. The vacuum degree detection sensor 158 attached to the surface of the vacuum heat insulating material is below the attachment position indication 163. It is within the range.

  With such a configuration, the product information recording means 156 (and the protective cover 159) attached to the surface of the insulation covering material can also serve as a display of the attachment position of the vacuum degree detection sensor 158 of the vacuum insulation material. Instead, at the same time, the information from the vacuum degree detection sensor 158 can be acquired together with the information recorded in the product information recording means 156 simply by holding the sensor over the position. Therefore, the maintenance efficiency of the vacuum heat insulating material is dramatically improved.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

Based on the detection information on the degree of vacuum of the vacuum heat insulating material described so far, the vacuum heat insulating material whose vacuum degree has deteriorated is selected (item 164). Next, the gas barrier film of the vacuum heat insulating material is inspected (item 165). If the gas barrier film is severely damaged, the core material is removed (item 167), a new gas barrier film is attached (item 168), evacuated and molded (item 169), and the vacuum heat insulating material is regenerated. On the other hand, if the damage of the gas barrier film is small, a new gas barrier film is attached (covered) (item 170), vacuumed and formed (item 171) on the old gas barrier film, and the vacuum heat insulating material is regenerated. Thereafter, a quality inspection and quality control tag (product information recording means) is attached (item 172), and a recycled vacuum heat insulating material is completed (item 173).

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 47 shows a vacuum heat insulating material 11 formed by covering the core material 13 with a gas barrier film exterior film 12, and the vacuum heat insulating material 11 is covered with a covering material 14 and a covering material 15 so as to be removable from the outside. In the covering material 14 and the covering material 15, the uppermost surface above the vacuum heat insulating material 11 and the lowermost surface below the vacuum heat insulating material 11 are substantially horizontal. At this time, in a state in which the vacuum heat insulating material 11 is covered with the covering materials 14 and 15, the projection surface 176 of the vacuum heat insulating material 11 onto the horizontal plane is housed inside the outer periphery of the horizontal plane. As a result, the external force acting on the covering materials 14 and 15 does not all act on the vacuum heat insulating material 11, and a part of the external force passes through the covering materials 14 and 15 and is released from the upper side (working surface) to the lower side. .

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 48 shows a heat insulating body of FIG. 3 in which a gap 177 is formed between the vacuum heat insulating material 11 and the covering materials 14 and 15. Thereby, the external force which acted on the coating | covering materials 14 and 15 does not act on the vacuum heat insulating material 11, and can attach or detach the vacuum heat insulating material 11 to a coating | covering material easily.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 49, when moving each vacuum heat insulating material member, the vacuum heat insulating material 178 is sandwiched and protected by the covering material A179 and the covering material B180 in order to prevent vacuum deterioration due to the breakage of the gas barrier film.

  As the shape of the protective member, the one molded according to the shape of the vacuum heat insulating material is most desirable, and considering the transportability, a laminated structure of the coating material B180, the vacuum heat insulating material 178, and the coating material A179 is assembled in order. The shape (laminated body) is a polyhedron such that at least the uppermost surface and the lowermost surface of the laminated body are parallel horizontal planes. For this reason, it is possible to stack a plurality. In consideration of transportation, stacking, and boxing, a hexahedron such as a rectangular parallelepiped or a cube is desirable.

  For example, as a method of transporting the vacuum heat insulating material for transporting the vacuum heat insulating material, as shown in FIG. 49, a space according to the shape of the vacuum heat insulating material 178 is configured by the covering material A179 and the covering material B180. deep. Further, if the outer shell shape of the covering material A179 and the covering material B180 is rectangular, it can be transported efficiently even with vacuum heat insulating materials of various shapes. It can also be protected.

  In actual transportation, in the state in which the vacuum heat insulating material 178 is put inside the protective member (covering materials 179, 180), the structure of the laminated body in the order of the covering material A179, the vacuum heat insulating material 178, and the covering material B180 from the top. Is effective. According to this structure, a plurality of vacuum heat insulating materials can be stacked and transported.

  Moreover, since it can be stacked and placed up and down, it is excellent also in storage property. Even if it is used as a vacuum heat insulating material alone or as a heat insulating material combined with a covering material, it has both high transportability and storage property. Appropriate management can be performed in transportation.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 50 to 55 show a method for attaching the heat insulator of each embodiment to an automobile.

  In FIG. 50, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener 184a having a hook-like fiber on the surface is used on one side, and a hook-and-loop fastener having a structure of a hook-and-loop fiber 184b on the surface is used. is there. The hook-and-loop fastener 184a is attached to the heat insulator 182 and the hook-and-loop fastener 184b is attached to the vehicle body 183.

  The heat insulator 182 can be attached to the vehicle body 183 by combining these hook-and-loop fasteners in pairs. Since the vacuum heat insulating material is not directly attached to the vehicle body 183, the heat insulating body 182 can be easily attached and detached without damaging the vacuum heat insulating material. Double-sided tape can be used for attaching the surface fastener. In addition, double-sided tape 185 can be directly used instead of the hook-and-loop fastener as long as it has a low adhesive strength and does not damage the insulator when it is detached.

  By attaching (adhering) the vacuum heat insulating material directly to the vehicle body, it is possible to cut off the path through which heat flows and minimize heat intrusion from the outside or heat leakage from the inside. In addition, the use of hook-and-loop fasteners generally allows the bonding force between hook-and-loop fasteners to be weaker than the bonding force between the hook-and-loop fastener and the surface to which it is attached (attached). .

  For example, FIG. 51 uses a magnet. A magnet 186 is attached to the heat insulator 182. If the member of the vehicle body 183 is a metal to which a magnet is attached, the heat insulator 182 can be attached as it is with a magnetic force. If the member of the vehicle body 183 is a non-ferrous metal, for example, an iron plate can be attached to the vehicle body 183 and attached to that portion with a magnet 186. Use of double-sided tape for the attachment of the magnet 186 to the heat insulator 182 and the attachment of the iron plate to the vehicle body provides good workability. An adhesive may be used. In the method of this embodiment as well, the heat insulator 182 is not directly attached to the vehicle body 183, so that the heat insulator 182 can be easily attached and detached without damaging it.

  For example, FIG. 52 uses a suction cup. A suction cup 187 is attached to the heat insulator 182. Use of a double-sided tape for attachment to the suction cup 187 heat insulator 182 improves workability. An adhesive may be used.

Also, there are snaps, clips, etc. that can be attached in the same way.

  FIG. 55 shows a case where a heat insulator 182 is attached to the auxiliary battery 104, for example. You may attach with the above-mentioned fixing method, and you may fix with the band 192 so that the heat insulating body 182 and the auxiliary | assistant battery 104 may not remove | deviate like FIG.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 56 shows a method of diagnosing the necessity of replacement of parts of the vacuum heat insulating material based on a signal from the vacuum degree detection sensor. A recording unit 156 in which product information of a vacuum heat insulating material covering the core material 161 with the gas barrier films 160a and 160b, a covering material 162 covering the vacuum heat insulating material, and a vacuum heat insulating material pasted on the surface of the covering material is recorded. In the interior of the covering material, a heat insulator comprising a vacuum degree detection sensor 158 for detecting the vacuum degree of the vacuum heat insulating material is attached to the automobile within the projection surface of the recording unit.

  At this time, by bringing the diagnostic device 200 close to the recording unit, power is supplied to the vacuum degree detection sensor 158 by, for example, electromagnetic induction (195), and a signal 197 relating to the vacuum degree is received from the sensor 158, and the recording unit 156 Also read the product information recorded in. Based on these pieces of information, the vacuum state of the vacuum heat insulating material is analyzed in the diagnostic machine 200.

  Based on the result from the diagnostic machine 200, the heat insulating body containing the vacuum heat insulating material attached to the automobile is removed as necessary, and the vacuum heat insulating material is replaced. With this diagnostic operation, the vacuum insulation is always used with the reliability of the product having a certain degree of vacuum.

  Further, by combining with Example 4 or the like, comprehensive maintenance of the automobile becomes possible. For example, if a part that needs repair or replacement is specified by diagnosis, the presence or absence of replacement parts and information can be transmitted to the manufacturer, and comprehensive automobile maintenance can be performed.

  As described in the above embodiments, by adopting the structure and method of each embodiment, the vacuum insulation material according to the usage environment (for example, temperature, etc.), manufacturing method, and maintenance method of automobiles and automobile parts can be used. A desorption method can be selected. For this reason, desorption work can be easily performed without damaging the vacuum heat insulating material.

  In addition, it is possible to determine the deterioration of the vacuum degree of the vacuum heat insulating material even after mounting the vacuum heat insulating material alone and the automobile, and to ensure and maintain the product quality of the vacuum heat insulating material and the automobile more accurately and easily. . In addition, the vacuum insulation material is not damaged during the manufacture, maintenance and use of the vacuum insulation material and automobile. Furthermore, since the protective means for minimizing damage is implemented, it is possible to use the same vacuum insulating material for a long period of time or to recycle it.

By providing an automobile using such a vacuum heat insulating material, it is possible to reduce CO ₂ emissions and promote the suppression of global warming by reducing the power of auxiliary equipment such as car air conditioners and improving the engine efficiency. In addition, rapid start-up of performance such as warming up of the catalyst can further reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides and contribute to prevention of air pollution. In addition, recyclability can be improved and resource saving can be achieved.

  Users who use automobiles that use vacuum insulation can improve the comfort of the passenger compartment, reduce the consumption of fuel such as gasoline and light oil, and reduce fuel costs.

  As a matter of course, the same effect can be obtained for automobiles that can use other fuels such as LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), ethanol, and hydrogen in addition to gasoline and light oil. In addition, automobile manufacturing and maintenance users (manufacturers) can provide cars that are easier on the global environment through a series of flows from manufacturing to maintenance and scrapped cars.
