Description

  Embodiments of the present invention relate to an insulated cabinet.

  In recent years, for example, household refrigerators tend to have a large capacity, and this is realized by reducing the thickness of the peripheral wall of the heat insulating cabinet of the refrigerator. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the cabinet has sufficient heat insulation performance even with a small peripheral wall. For this reason, in addition to filling the peripheral wall of the cabinet with foam insulation, vacuum insulation panels are used. In addition, there is also one in which the peripheral wall of the cabinet is filled with only a vacuum heat insulation panel (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  The vacuum insulation panel is made of, for example, glass wool, which is a thin fiberglass cotton material, matted to form a core material. The core material is inserted into a gas barrier container made of aluminum foil and a synthetic resin laminate film, and the interior is This is a panel that keeps the inside of the container in a vacuum-reduced state by evacuating and closing the opening, and it has a thin and low thermal conductivity (heat insulation). By using this, high insulation performance can be achieved. Can be obtained.

Japanese Patent No. 2728318 JP-A-6-147744

  Among the above-mentioned conventional products, those using foam insulation and a vacuum insulation panel on the peripheral wall of the cabinet are inferior in thermal insulation performance to those using only the vacuum insulation panel, so that the peripheral wall thickness of the cabinet is slightly increased.

  On the other hand, what filled the peripheral wall of the cabinet only with the vacuum heat insulation panel has higher heat insulation performance than that combined with the foam heat insulating material and the vacuum heat insulation panel, and accordingly, the peripheral wall thickness of the cabinet can be made sufficiently small, The effect of expanding the internal volume of the cabinet can be sufficiently obtained. However, this case has a problem that the rigidity of the cabinet cannot be sufficiently obtained.

  In view of this, a heat insulating cabinet that can sufficiently obtain heat insulating performance and rigidity is provided.

  In the heat insulating cabinet of the present embodiment, the ceiling wall portion, the bottom wall portion, the left side wall portion, the right side wall portion, and the back wall portion, both or one of the ceiling wall portion and the bottom wall portion, respectively, The outer shell and the inner shell are filled with a vacuum heat insulating panel and a foam heat insulating material filled inside or outside thereof, and the left side wall portion, the right side wall portion, and the back wall portion are respectively formed on the outer shell. The space between the inner shell and the inner shell is filled with a vacuum heat insulating panel without using a foam heat insulating material in combination, and the foam heat insulating material is filled between the edge portions of the vacuum heat insulating panel.

A space between the outer shell 2 and the inner shell 3 is filled with a vacuum heat insulating panel 5 and a foam heat insulating material 5 filled inside thereof, and the bottom wall 1b is formed between the outer shell 6 and the inner shell 7. The space is filled with the vacuum heat insulating panels 8, 9, 10 and the foam heat insulating material 5 filled therein. Further, the left side wall portion 1c is configured by filling the space between the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12 with a vacuum heat insulating panel 13, and the right side wall portion 1d is formed between the outer shell 14 and the inner shell 15 with a vacuum heat insulating panel 16.

Moreover, in this case, the fluidity of the foam heat insulating material 5 that fills the gaps between the edge portions of each vacuum heat insulating panel can be secured in the spaces S ₁ and S ₂ between the vacuum heat insulating panels of each wall, In particular, since the spaces S ₁ and S ₂ can be easily expanded, the number of the injection ports 45 for injecting the foamed heat insulating material 5 is small for each wall portion. For example, only one injection port 45 may be provided, and the injection head H of the injection machine is also provided. For example, it is only necessary to provide one by one. Thus, the equipment necessary for the injection of the foam heat insulating material 5 can be simplified, and the equipment cost can be reduced.

In addition, in this embodiment, spaces S _{3 to} S ₁₀ are formed by the inclined portions 20 to 22 and 27 to 31 in the portions between the edge portions of the vacuum heat insulating panels 4, 8 to ₁₀ , 13, 16, and 19. The foamed heat insulating material 5 is filled in the spaces S _{3 to} S ₁₀ . Accordingly, the gaps g _{1 to} g ₈ between the edge portions of the vacuum heat insulating panels 4, _{8 to 10,} 13, 16, and 19 can be more reliably sealed, and the fluidity of the foam heat insulating material 5 can be ensured better.

The portion between the end edges of the back wall portion 1e and the vacuum heat insulation panel 19 is filled with the foamed heat insulating material 5). Thereby, the normally difficult seal of the part through which these wirings and pipes penetrate can be made with the foam heat insulating material 5 filled in the gap between the edge portions of the vacuum heat insulating panel, and a more reliable seal can be achieved.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the ceiling wall part 1a filled with the vacuum heat insulating panel 4 and the foam heat insulating material 5, and the bottom wall filled with the vacuum heat insulating panels 8, 9, 10 and the foam heat insulating material 5.

The foam heat insulating material 5 is filled in a part between the edge portions over a part C ₁ and C ₂ respectively.

  Thereby, the clearance gap between the edge parts of the vacuum heat insulation panels 13 and 19 in the left side wall part 1c and the back wall part 1e, and the edge of the vacuum heat insulation panels 16 and 19 in the right side wall part 1d and the back wall part 1e. It is possible to more reliably seal the gap between the parts with the foamed heat insulating material 5, and to shorten the seal with the soft tape 42 in the same part.

  In the present embodiment, the heat radiating pipe 49 is disposed on the left side wall 1c, the right side wall 1d, and the back wall 1e. Thereby, the concern of the left side wall part 1c, the right side wall part 1d, and the back wall part 1e comprised by filling between the outer shell and the inner shell with the vacuum heat insulation panel can be eliminated.
