Description

本発明は、断熱性能を有する断熱体に関する。   The present invention relates to a heat insulator having heat insulation performance.

従来の断熱体として、例えば引用文献1には、シート体を少なくとも2層以上積層してなる芯材と、少なくとも水分を吸着する吸着剤と、ガスバリア性フィルムからなる外被材とにより形成され、テープなどによる固定や、芯材に凹部を形成することなく、真空排気中に吸着剤を芯材により挟持する考えが示されている。   As a conventional heat insulator, for example, in Cited Document 1, it is formed of a core material formed by laminating at least two layers of sheet bodies, an adsorbent that adsorbs at least moisture, and a jacket material made of a gas barrier film, The idea of sandwiching the adsorbent with the core material during evacuation without fixing with a tape or the like or forming a recess in the core material is shown.

また特許文献2では、芯材を外被材で包み、外被材の内部を減圧した後、外被材の開口部を封止して全周囲が密閉された状態に保持した断熱体において、芯材を含まない外被材のみで構成される部分、すなわちヒレ部を、芯材のある部分の一方の面に集中して折り畳んだものが開示されている。   Further, in Patent Document 2, in a heat insulator that wraps a core material with a jacket material, depressurizes the inside of the jacket material, seals the opening of the jacket material, and holds the entire periphery in a sealed state, A part composed only of a jacket material that does not include a core material, that is, a fin portion that is folded in a concentrated manner on one surface of a part having a core material is disclosed.

特許第3507776号公報Japanese Patent No. 3507776 特開2007−40360号公報JP 2007-40360 A

しかし、上述した従来の断熱体には、次のような問題がある。   However, the conventional heat insulator described above has the following problems.

特許文献1に示すようなテープなどによる固定や、芯材に凹部を形成せずに、吸着剤を挟持する方法では、製造工程で吸着剤が所定の位置からずれてしまうことがあった。また、テープなどにより吸着剤を固定する場合は、剥離ライナーからテープを剥す工程が必要となり、作業性が悪く、凹部に吸着剤を収納して固定する場合は、芯材に凹部を形成する工程が余計に必要になる。   In the method of fixing with an adhesive tape as shown in Patent Document 1 or the method of sandwiching the adsorbent without forming a recess in the core material, the adsorbent may be displaced from a predetermined position in the manufacturing process. In addition, when fixing the adsorbent with a tape or the like, a process of peeling the tape from the release liner is necessary, and workability is poor. When the adsorbent is stored and fixed in the concave portion, a step of forming the concave portion in the core material Is necessary.

特許文献1に示すような冷蔵庫などに使用する断熱体は、芯材を外被材で包み、内部を真空引きしながらヒートシールなどの方法で封止している。こうした外被材は、2枚のシートを重ね合わせ、外周部をシールして袋状に形成されるので、外被材に芯材を入れると、外周部は断熱体として機能しない余白となり、取付けの際に周囲との干渉を避けるために内側に折り返される。ところが、芯材は大抵が平面視で四辺形状に形成されるため、外被材の余白は芯材の四隅の角部に接する部分で折り返しが重なり、二重に折り返されるため、折り曲げの曲率が最も小さく、外被材へのストレスが大きくなる。そのため、外被材にピンホールや亀裂が生じて真空度が失われ、断熱性能が低下する問題があった。   A heat insulator used for a refrigerator or the like as shown in Patent Document 1 wraps a core material with a jacket material and seals it with a method such as heat sealing while evacuating the inside. Since such a jacket material is formed in a bag shape by overlapping two sheets and sealing the outer peripheral portion, if the core material is inserted into the outer jacket material, the outer peripheral portion becomes a margin that does not function as a heat insulator, In order to avoid interference with the surroundings, it is folded inside. However, since the core material is usually formed in a quadrilateral shape in plan view, the margin of the outer cover material is folded back at the portions in contact with the corners of the four corners of the core material and is folded back twice, so that the bending curvature is large. The smallest, the stress on the jacket material is increased. For this reason, there is a problem that pinholes and cracks are generated in the jacket material, the degree of vacuum is lost, and the heat insulation performance is lowered.

また特に、角部に平面状の角面を形成したいわゆるC面カットを有する芯材では、引用文献2のように、外被材のヒレ部を芯材のある部分の一方の面に集中して折り曲げると、特にC面カットした角面部で、ヒレ部が幾重にも折り曲げられてたわみが生じる虞があり、寸法公差を大きくとらなければならなかった。また、角面部のエッジでヒレ部の応力が大きくなり、外被材が破れてリークが生じる虞があった。   Further, in particular, in a core material having a so-called C-plane cut in which a flat square surface is formed at a corner portion, the fin portion of the outer cover material is concentrated on one surface of the portion where the core material is present as in Reference 2. When bent, there is a risk that the fin portion will be bent several times, particularly at the corner portion cut by the C-plane, so that the dimensional tolerance must be increased. Further, the stress of the fin portion becomes large at the edge of the corner portion, and there is a possibility that the jacket material is torn and leakage occurs.

従来は、薄肉のシート体を複数枚積層した芯材を外被材で包み、内部を減圧した後に封止したものにおいて、芯材の中間層に複数箇所の吸着剤孔を設け、それぞれの吸着剤孔に吸着剤を配置して断熱体を製造していた。しかし、それぞれの吸着剤孔に吸着剤を一つずつ配置するのは、作業性が悪く非効率である。また、吸着剤と同数の吸着剤孔を開ける必要があるため、吸着剤孔に吸着剤を配置し忘れる虞もあった。   Conventionally, a core material in which a plurality of thin sheet bodies are laminated is wrapped with an outer cover material, and the interior is decompressed and sealed, and a plurality of adsorbent holes are provided in the intermediate layer of the core material to The heat insulator was manufactured by arranging the adsorbent in the agent hole. However, disposing one adsorbent in each adsorbent hole is inefficient and inefficient. Further, since it is necessary to open the same number of adsorbent holes as the adsorbent, there is a possibility that the adsorbent is forgotten to be disposed in the adsorbent holes.

断熱体の内部には、外部から侵入、若しくは芯材中から発生する水分やガスを吸着して除去するために、芯材にゲッタ剤を埋設した構成となっている。しかし、そうした芯材を外被材に入れて真空封止した後に、芯材の厚さが薄くなることで、断熱体の表面に吸着剤の厚みによる凸部ができてしまう。そのため、見栄えが悪く、凸部に加わる圧力で外被材にピンホールが発生する虞があり、断熱体を取付ける際に段差が生じて扱いにくいという問題があった。   The heat insulator has a configuration in which a getter agent is embedded in the core material in order to adsorb and remove moisture and gas generated from the outside or generated from the core material. However, after such a core material is put in a jacket material and vacuum-sealed, the core material is thinned, so that a convex portion due to the thickness of the adsorbent is formed on the surface of the heat insulator. For this reason, there is a problem that the appearance is poor, there is a possibility that a pinhole is generated in the jacket material due to the pressure applied to the convex portion, and there is a problem that a step is generated when the heat insulator is attached and it is difficult to handle.

冷蔵庫などに断熱体を組み込む場合、冷蔵庫のパイプや配管を避けるために、断熱体に溝を形成したものが知られている。しかし、プレスやローラーで断熱体の表面に溝を付けるため、断熱体に負荷がかかり、外被材に亀裂やピンホールなどが発生しやすくなり、その結果、内部の真空度が低下して断熱性能が悪化する問題があった。   In the case of incorporating a heat insulator into a refrigerator or the like, it is known that a groove is formed in the heat insulator in order to avoid pipes and piping of the refrigerator. However, since the surface of the insulator is grooved with a press or roller, the insulator is loaded, and cracks and pinholes are likely to occur in the jacket material. There was a problem that performance deteriorated.

前述のように、外被材の外周部は断熱体としては機能しない余白となるため、取付けの際に周囲との干渉を避けるために内側に折り返されるが、折り返された外周部は、断熱体の反対面に直接接するので、その断熱体を冷蔵庫などの被断熱製品に取付けると、外被材は外周部から表面を伝わって断熱体の反対面にまで熱が伝導するいわゆるヒートブリッジを生じ、断熱体全体としての断熱性能を悪化させる問題があった。   As described above, the outer peripheral portion of the jacket material is a blank that does not function as a heat insulator, so it is folded inward to avoid interference with the surroundings during installation, but the folded outer peripheral portion is a heat insulator. Because it is in direct contact with the opposite surface, when the heat insulator is attached to a heat-insulated product such as a refrigerator, the outer cover material travels from the outer periphery to the surface, so-called heat bridge that conducts heat to the opposite surface of the heat insulator, There existed a problem which deteriorated the heat insulation performance as the whole heat insulating body.

本発明の第1の目的は、吸着剤を配置する際の作業性を向上させ、吸着剤孔に吸着剤を配置し忘れる不良を低減できる断熱体を提供することにある。   A first object of the present invention is to provide a heat insulator that can improve workability when placing an adsorbent and reduce defects forgetting to place the adsorbent in the adsorbent holes.

本発明の第2の目的は、見栄えがよく、ピンホールの発生を低減させ、取付け時における段差の解消を実現できる断熱体を提供することにある。   A second object of the present invention is to provide a heat insulator that has a good appearance, can reduce the occurrence of pinholes, and can eliminate a step difference during mounting.

本発明の第3の目的は、溝付けを行なった場合などでも、内部の真空度が低下せず、良好な断熱性能を維持できる断熱体を提供することにある。   A third object of the present invention is to provide a heat insulating body that can maintain good heat insulating performance without lowering the degree of internal vacuum even when grooving is performed.

本発明の第4の目的は、外被材の表面のヒートブリッジを低減させて、断熱体全体としての断熱性能を悪化させない断熱体を提供することにある。   The fourth object of the present invention is to provide a heat insulator that reduces the heat bridge on the surface of the jacket material and does not deteriorate the heat insulation performance of the heat insulator as a whole.

請求項1の発明では、芯材内に複数個の吸着剤を集中して配置することで、外被材の内部の水分を吸着して、断熱体としての性能劣化を低減できる。また、吸着剤を一つずつ吸着剤孔に配置するのではなく、複数個の連結した吸着剤を一つの吸着剤孔に配置するので、吸着剤を配置する作業が容易になる。また、吸着剤孔を設ける箇所を減らすことができるので、吸着剤孔に吸着剤を配置し忘れる不良を低減できる。   In the invention of claim 1, by arranging a plurality of adsorbents in the core material in a concentrated manner, moisture inside the jacket material can be adsorbed and performance deterioration as a heat insulator can be reduced. Moreover, since the adsorbents are not arranged one by one in the adsorbent holes, but a plurality of connected adsorbents are arranged in one adsorbent hole, the work of arranging the adsorbents becomes easy. In addition, since the number of places where the adsorbent holes are provided can be reduced, it is possible to reduce defects forgetting to place the adsorbent in the adsorbent holes.

請求項2の発明では、実質的にガスや水分を吸着する材料となる生石灰を、そのままではなく袋体に封入して吸着剤とすることで、吸着剤孔に複数個の連結した吸着剤を配置する際の取り扱いを容易にすることができる。   In the invention of claim 2, quick lime, which is a material that substantially adsorbs gas and moisture, is enclosed in a bag rather than as it is to form an adsorbent, whereby a plurality of adsorbents connected to the adsorbent holes are provided. Handling at the time of arrangement can be facilitated.

請求項3の発明では、ゲッタ剤を設置する芯材の埋設部に、空間を設けておくことにより、芯材を入れた外被材の内部を真空封止した後も、断熱体の表面にゲッタ剤の厚みによる凸状の飛び出しをなくすことができる。そのため、断熱材としての見栄えがよくなり、凸部へ加わる圧力に起因した外被材のピンホールの発生を低減でき、断熱体を取付ける際の段差を解消することができる。   In the invention of claim 3, by providing a space in the buried portion of the core material on which the getter agent is installed, the inside of the jacket material containing the core material is vacuum sealed on the surface of the heat insulator. A convex protrusion due to the thickness of the getter agent can be eliminated. Therefore, the appearance as a heat insulating material is improved, the generation of pinholes in the jacket material due to the pressure applied to the convex portion can be reduced, and the step when the heat insulating body is attached can be eliminated.

請求項4の発明では、芯材の埋設部には、特に外被材の内部を真空封止する前後の芯材の厚さの変化率に応じた寸法の空間が形成されるので、外被材の内部を真空封止した後で、芯材の厚さが変化しても、断熱体の表面にゲッタ剤の厚みによる凸状の飛び出しを確実になくすことができる。   In the invention according to claim 4, since the space embedded in the core material is formed with a space having a dimension corresponding to the rate of change of the thickness of the core material before and after vacuum sealing the inside of the jacket material. Even if the thickness of the core material changes after the inside of the material is vacuum-sealed, it is possible to reliably eliminate the protruding protrusion due to the thickness of the getter agent on the surface of the heat insulator.

請求項5の発明では、繊維集合体に切り抜き部や切り欠き部を設け、それらを単独若しくは複数組み合わせて、芯材の埋設部に空間を設けたので、この埋設部にゲッタ剤を容易に設置することが可能になる。   In the invention of claim 5, since a cutout portion and a cutout portion are provided in the fiber assembly, and a space is provided in the embedded portion of the core material by combining them alone or in combination, a getter agent is easily installed in the embedded portion. It becomes possible to do.

請求項6の発明では、外被材を二重袋構造にして芯材を包むことにより、サブ断熱体の表面に溝付けを行なう際に、内側の外被材に傷が付いてリークが生じても、外側の外被材でリークの進行を食い止めることができ、信頼性の向上に寄与する。また、完成した断熱体をぶつけたり擦ったりしても、外側の外被材が緩衝物となり、内側の袋へのダメージを防ぐ効果がある。したがって、溝付けを行なった場合でも、内部の真空度が低下せず、良好な断熱性能を維持できる。   In the invention of claim 6, by enclosing the core material in a double bag structure and grooving the surface of the sub-insulator, the inner jacket material is scratched and leaks. However, the progress of leakage can be stopped by the outer jacket material, which contributes to the improvement of reliability. Further, even when the completed heat insulator is hit or rubbed, the outer jacket material becomes a buffer, and there is an effect of preventing damage to the inner bag. Therefore, even when grooving is performed, the degree of internal vacuum does not decrease and good heat insulation performance can be maintained.

請求項7の発明では、完成した断熱体をぶつけたり擦ったりしても、外側の外被材が緩衝物となり、内側の外被材へのダメージを防ぐ効果がある。したがって、溝付けを行なった場合でも、内部の真空度が低下せず、良好な断熱性能を維持できる。また、真空封止が完了してから溝付けを行なうので、溝部の寸法精度を優れたものにすることができる。   In the invention of claim 7, even if the completed heat insulator is hit or rubbed, the outer jacket material becomes a buffer, and there is an effect of preventing damage to the inner jacket material. Therefore, even when grooving is performed, the degree of internal vacuum does not decrease and good heat insulation performance can be maintained. Further, since the grooving is performed after the vacuum sealing is completed, the dimensional accuracy of the groove can be made excellent.

請求項8の発明では、外被材を二重構造にして芯材を包むことにより、内側の第1の外被材に傷が付いてリークが生じても、外側の第2の外被材でリークの進行を食い止めることができ、信頼性の向上に寄与する。また、完成した断熱体をぶつけたり擦ったりしても、外側の第2の外被材が緩衝物となり、第1の外被材へのダメージを防ぐ効果がある。したがって、内部の真空度が低下せず、良好な断熱性能を維持できる。   In the invention of claim 8, even if the inner first outer cover material is scratched and leaks by wrapping the core material with a double structure, the outer second outer cover material Can stop the progress of leak and contribute to the improvement of reliability. Further, even if the completed heat insulator is hit or rubbed, the second outer jacket material on the outer side becomes a buffer and has an effect of preventing damage to the first jacket material. Therefore, the degree of internal vacuum does not decrease and good heat insulation performance can be maintained.

また、第1の外被材の内部を真空封止した後に、第1の外被材のヒレ部を折り返してテープを貼着すると、第2の外被材の内部を真空封止した後に、同様の作業が必要になって製造効率が低下するが、第1の外被材と第2の外被材のヒレ部を同時に折り返してテープを貼着することで、1回分の封止後の作業を省くことができ、製造効率を上げることが可能になる。   In addition, after vacuum-sealing the inside of the first jacket material, folding the fin portion of the first jacket material and sticking the tape, after vacuum-sealing the inside of the second jacket material, Although the same work is required and the production efficiency is lowered, the first outer cover material and the second outer cover material are folded at the same time, and the tape is attached, so that after sealing for one time. Work can be omitted, and manufacturing efficiency can be increased.

請求項9の発明では、外被材の余白となる外周部を折り返しても、外周部に装着したカバーが断熱材となって、外被材の表面の熱伝導を低減させる。したがって、外被材の表面のヒートブリッジを低減させて、断熱体全体としての断熱性能を悪化させない効果を得ることができる。   According to the ninth aspect of the present invention, even if the outer peripheral portion serving as a margin of the outer cover material is folded back, the cover attached to the outer peripheral portion becomes a heat insulating material, and the heat conduction on the surface of the outer cover material is reduced. Therefore, the effect of not deteriorating the heat insulation performance as the whole heat insulator can be obtained by reducing the heat bridge on the surface of the jacket material.

請求項1の発明によれば、吸着剤を配置する際の作業性を向上させ、吸着剤孔に吸着剤を配置し忘れる不良を低減できる断熱体を提供できる。   According to the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a heat insulator that can improve workability when placing the adsorbent and reduce defects forgetting to place the adsorbent in the adsorbent holes.

請求項2の発明によれば、吸着剤孔に吸着剤を配置する際の取り扱いを容易にすることができる。   According to invention of Claim 2, the handling at the time of arrange | positioning an adsorbent to an adsorbent hole can be made easy.

請求項4の発明によれば、外被材の内部を真空封止した後で、芯材の厚さが変化しても、断熱体の表面にゲッタ剤の厚みによる凸状の飛び出しを確実になくすことができる。   According to the invention of claim 4, after the inside of the jacket material is vacuum-sealed, even if the thickness of the core material changes, the protrusion of the convex shape due to the thickness of the getter agent can be reliably ensured on the surface of the heat insulator.

以下、添付図面を参照しつつ、本発明における断熱体の好ましい実施例をそれぞれ説明する。なお、以下に示す各実施例で、共通する箇所には共通する符号を付し、共通する部分の説明は重複を避けるため極力省略する。   Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the heat insulator in the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following embodiments, common portions are denoted by common reference numerals, and description of common portions is omitted as much as possible to avoid duplication.

図1および図2は、本実施例における断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1を示している。これらの各図において、真空断熱パネル1は平板状で、無機繊維からなるシート状成形体としてのシート体2A,2Bを少なくとも2層以上積層してなる芯材2と、水分またはガスを吸着する乾燥剤としての吸着剤3と、ガスバリア性フィルムからなる外被材4と、所定温度以上になると粘着性を発するシート状の固定部材5とにより構成される。芯材2は吸着剤3や固定部材5と共に、袋状の外被材4に収容され、外被材4の内部を減圧した後に、外被材4の開口部を封止することで、芯材2の全周囲を包んで密閉した真空断熱パネル1が得られる。   1 and 2 show a vacuum heat insulation panel 1 as a heat insulator in the present embodiment. In each of these drawings, the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 is flat and adsorbs moisture or gas, and a core material 2 formed by laminating at least two layers of sheet bodies 2A and 2B as sheet-like molded bodies made of inorganic fibers. It comprises an adsorbent 3 as a desiccant, a jacket material 4 made of a gas barrier film, and a sheet-like fixing member 5 that generates adhesiveness when the temperature exceeds a predetermined temperature. The core material 2 is accommodated in the bag-shaped outer cover material 4 together with the adsorbent 3 and the fixing member 5, and after the inside of the outer cover material 4 is depressurized, the opening of the outer cover material 4 is sealed. A vacuum insulation panel 1 is obtained which is enclosed and sealed around the entire periphery of the material 2.

吸着剤3は、シート体2A,2Bの間に固定部材5を重ね合わせた状態で挟持され、固定部材5が発する粘着力により、芯材2内部の所定位置に移動することなく固定される。特に本実施例では、吸着剤3の固定のために、吸着剤3を収納するための凹部を芯材2に設けてはおらず、各シート体2A,2Bの表面は凹凸なく平坦に形成される。また、本実施例で使用する固定部材5は、例えば日東シンコー株式会社製の熱溶着シートFB−ML80である。本製品は、図示しないがセパレーター上に基材レスの接着層を設けた熱可塑性の両面接着シートで、常温では粘着性がなく、所定温度である70℃以上で粘着性を発するものである。   The adsorbent 3 is sandwiched between the sheet bodies 2 </ b> A and 2 </ b> B in a state where the fixing member 5 is overlapped, and is fixed without moving to a predetermined position inside the core material 2 by the adhesive force generated by the fixing member 5. In particular, in the present embodiment, in order to fix the adsorbent 3, the core material 2 is not provided with a recess for accommodating the adsorbent 3, and the surfaces of the sheet bodies 2A and 2B are formed flat without any irregularities. . Moreover, the fixing member 5 used in the present embodiment is, for example, a heat welding sheet FB-ML80 manufactured by Nitto Shinko Corporation. Although not shown, this product is a thermoplastic double-sided adhesive sheet in which a baseless adhesive layer is provided on a separator. It is not sticky at room temperature, and sticks at a predetermined temperature of 70 ° C. or higher.

外被材4は、平面視同形をなす2枚のシート部材4A,4Bを重ね合わせ、シート部材4A,4Bの外周部(端部)をヒートシールして形成されるもので、外被材4の四方周縁には、シート部材4A,4Bを当該ヒートシールで接合した余剰部分としての耳部6が形成される。この耳部6は、真空断熱パネル1としては機能しない余白となる。   The jacket material 4 is formed by superposing two sheet members 4A and 4B having the same shape in plan view and heat-sealing the outer peripheral portions (end portions) of the sheet members 4A and 4B. 4 is formed with an ear portion 6 as an excess portion obtained by joining the sheet members 4A and 4B by the heat seal. This ear | edge part 6 becomes a blank which does not function as the vacuum heat insulation panel 1. FIG.

図2に示す真空断熱パネル1を製造するには、先ず所定形状に複数のシート体2A,2Bを成形または裁断した芯材2を、所定温度以上に加熱した後、積層されたシート体2A,2Bの間に吸着剤3を挟持する。その際に、吸着剤3と重ねて固定部材5を挟むことで、固定部材5が芯材2の熱で加熱され、所定温度以上となって粘着性を発するので、吸着剤3が固定部材5を介して芯材2の内部の所定位置に接着固定される。このため、例えば固定部材として粘着テープを用いた場合は、剥離ライナーからテープを剥す工程が必要になるが、本実施例の固定部材5はそうしたテープが設けられていないので、使用時にわざわざテープを剥す必要がなく、そのまま吸着剤3と重ねてシート体2A,2Bの間に挟むだけでよいため、作業性が良好である。   In order to manufacture the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 shown in FIG. 2, first, the core material 2 formed or cut into a plurality of sheet bodies 2A, 2B in a predetermined shape is heated to a predetermined temperature or higher, and then the laminated sheet bodies 2A, Adsorbent 3 is sandwiched between 2B. At this time, the fixing member 5 is sandwiched between the adsorbent 3 and the fixing member 5 is heated by the heat of the core material 2 to become a predetermined temperature or more and thus exhibits adhesiveness. Is fixed to a predetermined position inside the core member 2 via For this reason, for example, when an adhesive tape is used as the fixing member, a process of peeling the tape from the release liner is required. However, since the fixing member 5 of this embodiment is not provided with such a tape, bother the tape during use. Since it is not necessary to peel off, it is only necessary to overlap the adsorbent 3 and sandwich it between the sheet bodies 2A and 2B, so that workability is good.

また、従来は吸着剤3を固定するために芯材2に凹部を形成していたが、本実施例では固定部材5の使用により、芯材2に凹部を形成する工程を省くことができる。こうした凹部や固定部材5がない場合、真空断熱パネル1の製造工程で吸着剤3が所定の位置からずれてしまう虞があったが、本実施例では上述した固定部材5の使用により、芯材2に対する吸着剤3の位置ずれをなくことができる。   Conventionally, a concave portion is formed in the core material 2 in order to fix the adsorbent 3, but in this embodiment, the step of forming the concave portion in the core material 2 can be omitted by using the fixing member 5. If there is no such recess or fixing member 5, the adsorbent 3 may be displaced from a predetermined position in the manufacturing process of the vacuum heat insulation panel 1. 2 can be eliminated.

さらに、固定部材5は吸着剤3と重ねた状態でシート体2A,2Bの間に挟持されるが、固定部材5が芯材2や吸着剤3よりもはるかに薄いシート状であることにより、真空断熱パネル1の厚み寸法を極力増加させないようにすることができる。   Furthermore, the fixing member 5 is sandwiched between the sheet bodies 2A and 2B in a state of being overlapped with the adsorbent 3, but the fixing member 5 is in a sheet shape much thinner than the core material 2 and the adsorbent 3, The thickness dimension of the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 can be prevented from increasing as much as possible.

その後、吸着剤3や固定部材5を挟んだ芯材2は、予め2枚のシート部材4A,4Bを重ね合わせて、三方をヒートシールした平面視四角形状の外被材4の中に、残りの一方の開口から挿入収納される。この状態で、例えば真空槽(図示せず)による真空引きを行ない、外被材4の内部を所定の真空度にまで減圧した後に、外被材4の開口されている残りの一方をヒートシールして封止することで内部を密封し、平面視四角形状の真空断熱パネル1を得る。   Thereafter, the core material 2 sandwiching the adsorbent 3 and the fixing member 5 is left in the outer cover material 4 having a quadrangular shape in a plan view in which two sheet members 4A and 4B are overlapped in advance and heat-sealed in three directions. It is inserted and accommodated from one of the openings. In this state, for example, a vacuum chamber (not shown) is evacuated to reduce the inside of the jacket material 4 to a predetermined degree of vacuum, and then heat seal the remaining one of the jacket material 4 that is open. Then, the inside is sealed to obtain a vacuum heat insulation panel 1 having a square shape in plan view.

完成後の真空断熱パネル1の性能は、その内部の真空度が重要となるが、固定部材5からガスが発生するとその真空度が低下し、真空断熱パネル1の性能が劣化してしまう。そこで、外被材4に封入される固定部材5が、アクリル樹脂,エポキシ樹脂,フェノール樹脂,スチレン樹脂,ポリエチレン,ポリプロピレン,ポリエステル樹脂,ポリビニルアルコール(PVA),澱粉のうちの少なくとも1種類の物質であれば、固定部材5からのガスの発生を抑制でき、真空断熱パネル1の性能への影響を無くすことができる。   As for the performance of the vacuum insulation panel 1 after completion, the degree of vacuum inside is important, but when gas is generated from the fixing member 5, the degree of vacuum is lowered and the performance of the vacuum insulation panel 1 is deteriorated. Therefore, the fixing member 5 sealed in the jacket material 4 is made of at least one substance selected from acrylic resin, epoxy resin, phenol resin, styrene resin, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester resin, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and starch. If so, the generation of gas from the fixing member 5 can be suppressed, and the influence on the performance of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 can be eliminated.

また、本実施例の固定部材5は基材を使用していない基材レスであるため、基材からのガスの発生を考慮する必要がなく、この点でも真空断熱パネル1の性能劣化の虞がない。実際に、上述した日東シンコー株式会社製の熱溶着シートFB−ML80は、ポリエステル樹脂が主成分で、基材レスの固定部材5であり、評価を行なった結果、真空断熱パネル1の性能劣化は見られなかった。   In addition, since the fixing member 5 of the present embodiment is a base material that does not use a base material, it is not necessary to consider the generation of gas from the base material, and in this respect also, there is a risk of performance deterioration of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1. There is no. Actually, the above-mentioned heat welding sheet FB-ML80 manufactured by Nitto Shinko Co., Ltd. is a fixing member 5 having a polyester resin as a main component and no base material. As a result of evaluation, the performance deterioration of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 is I couldn't see it.

以上のように本実施例では、無機繊維からなるシート体2A,2Bを2層以上積層してなる芯材2と、少なくとも水分またはガスを吸着する吸着剤3と、少なくともガスバリア性フィルムからなる外被材4とにより形成される断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1において、所定温度以上で粘着性を発する固定部材5で、芯材2を構成するシート体2A,2Bの間に吸着剤3が挟持固定される構成となっている。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the core material 2 formed by laminating two or more layers of the sheet bodies 2A and 2B made of inorganic fibers, the adsorbent 3 that adsorbs at least moisture or gas, and the outside made of at least a gas barrier film. In the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 as a heat insulating body formed by the workpiece 4, the adsorbent 3 is sandwiched between the sheet bodies 2 </ b> A and 2 </ b> B constituting the core material 2 by the fixing member 5 that generates adhesiveness at a predetermined temperature or higher. It has a fixed configuration.

この場合、真空断熱パネル1の製造工程で、芯材2を所定温度以上に加熱した後、積層されたシート体2A,2Bの間に吸着剤3と重ねて固定部材5を挟むだけで、固定部材5が芯材2の熱で粘着性を発するようになり、吸着剤3がシート体2A,2Bの間に挟まれた状態で固定され、吸着剤3の位置がずれるのを防止できる。また、引用文献1のような固定部材に粘着テープを使用した場合は、剥離ライナーからテープを剥す工程が必要となるが、所定温度以上で粘着性を発する固定部材5であれば、そうした工程は不要になり作業性がよい。さらに、吸着剤3を凹部に収納する必要もなく、芯材2に凹部を形成する余計な工程を省くことができる。   In this case, in the manufacturing process of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1, after the core material 2 is heated to a predetermined temperature or more, the fixing member 5 is fixed by simply sandwiching the adsorbent 3 between the stacked sheet bodies 2A and 2B. The member 5 becomes sticky by the heat of the core material 2, the adsorbent 3 is fixed in a state of being sandwiched between the sheet bodies 2 </ b> A and 2 </ b> B, and the position of the adsorbent 3 can be prevented from shifting. Moreover, when an adhesive tape is used for the fixing member as in the cited document 1, a step of peeling the tape from the release liner is required. However, if the fixing member 5 emits adhesiveness at a predetermined temperature or higher, such a step can be performed. It becomes unnecessary and the workability is good. Furthermore, there is no need to store the adsorbent 3 in the recess, and an extra step of forming the recess in the core material 2 can be omitted.

また、本実施例の固定部材5はシート状に形成される。この場合、シート状の固定部材5を用いることで、吸着剤3と固定部材5とを重ねた状態で挟んでも、真空断熱パネル1の厚さへの影響を少なくすることができる。   Further, the fixing member 5 of the present embodiment is formed in a sheet shape. In this case, by using the sheet-like fixing member 5, even if the adsorbent 3 and the fixing member 5 are sandwiched, the influence on the thickness of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 can be reduced.

また、本実施例では、固定部材5が、アクリル樹脂,エポキシ樹脂,フェノール樹脂,スチレン樹脂,ポリエチレン,ポリプロピレン,ポリエステル樹脂,ポリビニルアルコール(PVA),澱粉のうちの少なくとも1種類の物質を含んでいる。   In this embodiment, the fixing member 5 contains at least one substance selected from acrylic resin, epoxy resin, phenol resin, styrene resin, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester resin, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and starch. .

真空断熱パネル1の性能は内部の真空度が重要となるため、固定部材5からガスが発生すると真空度が低下して真空断熱パネル1としての性能が劣化する。しかし、アクリル樹脂,エポキシ樹脂,フェノール樹脂,スチレン樹脂,ポリエチレン,ポリプロピレン,ポリエステル樹脂,ポリビニルアルコール,澱粉のうちの少なくとも1種類の物質であれば、固定部材5からのガスの発生が抑えられ、真空断熱パネル1の性能に影響がない。また、基材を使用しない基材レスの固定部材5であるため、基材からのガスの発生を考慮する必要がなく、特性劣化の虞のない性能を良好に維持した真空断熱パネル1を提供できる。   Since the degree of vacuum inside is important for the performance of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1, when gas is generated from the fixing member 5, the degree of vacuum decreases and the performance as the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 deteriorates. However, the generation of gas from the fixing member 5 is suppressed and vacuum is generated if at least one of the acrylic resin, epoxy resin, phenol resin, styrene resin, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester resin, polyvinyl alcohol, and starch is used. The performance of the heat insulation panel 1 is not affected. In addition, since the fixing member 5 does not use a base material, there is no need to consider the generation of gas from the base material, and the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 that maintains the performance without the risk of characteristic deterioration is provided. it can.

図3〜図6は、本実施例における断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1を示している。これらの各図において、真空断熱パネル1は平板状で、平面視で四辺形(矩形)状の芯材2と、ガスバリア性フィルムからなる外被材4とにより構成される。芯材2は実施例1のように、複数のシート体2A,2Bで構成してもよく、また実施例1で示した吸着剤3や固定部材5を、シート体2A,2Bの間に挟持させてもよい。芯材2は袋状の外被材4に収容され、外被材4の内部を減圧した後に、外被材4の開口部を封止することで、芯材2の全周囲を包んで密閉した真空断熱パネル1が得られる。   3-6 has shown the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 as a heat insulating body in a present Example. In each of these drawings, the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 has a flat plate shape, and is constituted by a quadrilateral (rectangular) core material 2 in plan view and an outer covering material 4 made of a gas barrier film. The core material 2 may be composed of a plurality of sheet bodies 2A and 2B as in the first embodiment, and the adsorbent 3 and the fixing member 5 shown in the first embodiment are sandwiched between the sheet bodies 2A and 2B. You may let them. The core material 2 is accommodated in a bag-shaped outer cover material 4, and after the inside of the outer cover material 4 is decompressed, the opening of the outer cover material 4 is sealed to wrap around the entire periphery of the core material 2. A vacuum insulation panel 1 is obtained.

外被材4は、平面視同形をなす2枚のシート部材4A,4Bを重ね合わせ、シート部材4A,4Bの外周部(端部)をヒートシールして形成されるもので、外被材4の四方周縁には、シート部材4A,4Bを当該ヒートシールで接合した余剰部分としての耳部6が形成される。この耳部6は、真空断熱パネル1としては機能しない余白となる。   The jacket material 4 is formed by superposing two sheet members 4A and 4B having the same shape in plan view and heat-sealing the outer peripheral portions (end portions) of the sheet members 4A and 4B. 4 is formed with an ear portion 6 as an excess portion obtained by joining the sheet members 4A and 4B by the heat seal. This ear | edge part 6 becomes a blank which does not function as the vacuum heat insulation panel 1. FIG.

図3は、外被材4の内部に芯材2を入れて真空封止した直後の真空断熱パネル1を示している。本実施例では、ここから図4に示すように、芯材2の角部11に接する外被材4の表面部分に、接着剤または塗料による保護剤12を塗布する。この保護剤12は、外被材4内部への外気の侵入を確実に防止するために、外被材4の片面あるいは両面に、少なくとも芯材2の角部11に接する部分を含んで、シート部材4A,4Bをシールした耳部6と、シート部材4A,4Bをシールしていない袋状部7を跨ぐようにして塗布される。   FIG. 3 shows the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 immediately after the core material 2 is put inside the jacket material 4 and vacuum sealed. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a protective agent 12 made of an adhesive or paint is applied to the surface portion of the outer cover material 4 that contacts the corner portion 11 of the core material 2. The protective agent 12 includes at least a portion in contact with the corner portion 11 of the core material 2 on one side or both sides of the jacket material 4 in order to reliably prevent the outside air from entering the jacket material 4. It coat | covers so that the ear | edge part 6 which sealed member 4A, 4B and the bag-like part 7 which has not sealed sheet | seat member 4A, 4B may be straddled.

次に、図5に示すように、芯材2の対向する一対の長辺に沿って、芯材2の一方の面である上面に向けて耳部6の一部を折り曲げた後、図6に示すように、今度は芯材2の対向する一対の短辺に沿って、同じく芯材2の一方の面である上面に向けて残りの耳部6を折り曲げる。外被材4の耳部6を折り曲げる順序は特に限定しないが、この外被材4の耳部6を折り曲げる際に、仮に芯材2の角部11に接する外被材4の部位にピンホールや亀裂が生じても、外被材4の表面に塗布した保護剤12によって、外被材4の内部への外気の侵入が防止され、外被材4の内部の真空度を良好に維持することができる。   Next, as shown in FIG. 5, after a part of the ear | edge part 6 is bent toward the upper surface which is one surface of the core material 2 along a pair of long side which the core material 2 opposes, FIG. Then, the remaining ear portion 6 is bent along the pair of opposing short sides of the core material 2 toward the upper surface, which is also one surface of the core material 2. The order of folding the ear portion 6 of the jacket material 4 is not particularly limited. However, when the ear portion 6 of the jacket material 4 is folded, a pinhole is temporarily formed in a portion of the jacket material 4 that contacts the corner portion 11 of the core material 2. Even if cracks or cracks occur, the protective agent 12 applied to the surface of the jacket material 4 prevents outside air from entering the jacket material 4 and maintains a good degree of vacuum inside the jacket material 4. be able to.

なお、ピンホールや亀裂が生じやすい部位は、基本的に耳部6を折り曲げた外被材4の外側面(直接ぶつけたりするリスクが高い側の面)となるため、少なくとも耳部6を折り曲げた状態で、芯材2の角部11に接する部分の外側面に、前述の保護剤12を塗布すれば、必要最小限の塗布量で、外被材4の内部の真空度を良好に維持できる。しかし、耳部6を折り曲げた状態で、芯材2の角部11に接する部分の外側面だけでなく、内側面にも保護剤12を塗布してもよく、その場合はより確実に外被材4の内部の真空度を良好に維持できる。   In addition, since the site | part which is easy to produce a pinhole or a crack becomes the outer side surface (surface with the high risk of hitting directly) of the jacket material 4 which bent the ear | edge part 6 fundamentally, at least the ear | edge part 6 is bent. If the above-mentioned protective agent 12 is applied to the outer surface of the core material 2 in contact with the corner 11, the degree of vacuum inside the jacket material 4 can be satisfactorily maintained with the minimum required application amount. it can. However, the protective agent 12 may be applied not only to the outer surface of the portion that contacts the corner 11 of the core member 2 but also to the inner surface in a state where the ear portion 6 is bent. The degree of vacuum inside the material 4 can be maintained well.

本実施例で使用する保護剤12としての接着剤や塗料は、ある程度粘度が高く、速乾性の特性を持つものが好ましい。また、耳部6を折り返すタイミングは、接着剤や塗料が硬化を始めて、その粘度が高くなった頃が好ましい。こうして、真空断熱パネル1の余白となる耳部6は、芯材2の側方から突出しないように、全て芯材2の上面に向けて内側に折り返され、接着剤12により良好な断熱性能を維持したまま、冷蔵庫などに周囲と干渉することなく、図6に示す真空断熱パネル1を容易に取付けできるようになる。   The adhesive or paint as the protective agent 12 used in the present embodiment is preferably one having a certain degree of viscosity and quick drying characteristics. Moreover, the timing at which the ears 6 are folded back is preferably when the adhesive or paint starts to harden and its viscosity increases. In this way, the ears 6 that are the margins of the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 are all folded back toward the upper surface of the core material 2 so as not to protrude from the side of the core material 2, and the adhesive 12 provides good heat insulation performance. The vacuum heat insulation panel 1 shown in FIG. 6 can be easily attached to the refrigerator or the like without interfering with the surroundings while being maintained.

以上のように、本実施例では、芯材2を袋状の外被材4に包んで構成され、外被材4の外周部である耳部6を折り曲げて形成される断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1において、芯材2の角部11に接する外被材4の片側若しくは両側表面に、接着剤や塗料などの保護剤12を塗布している。   As described above, in this embodiment, the core material 2 is wrapped in the bag-like outer covering material 4, and the vacuum as a heat insulator formed by bending the ear portion 6 that is the outer peripheral portion of the outer covering material 4. In the heat insulating panel 1, a protective agent 12 such as an adhesive or a paint is applied to one or both surfaces of the jacket material 4 that contacts the corner 11 of the core material 2.

この場合、外被材4の外周部を折り曲げる際に、芯材2の角部11に接する部位にピンホールや亀裂が生じても、外被材4の表面に塗布した接着剤や塗料などの保護剤12が、これらを防ぐ栓の役割を果たして外気の侵入を防止し、外被材4の内部の真空度を良好に維持し続ける。したがって、外被材4の耳部6を折り曲げたことに起因する真空断熱パネル1の断熱性能の低下を防止することが可能になる。   In this case, when the outer peripheral portion of the jacket material 4 is bent, even if a pinhole or a crack occurs in a portion in contact with the corner portion 11 of the core material 2, an adhesive or paint applied to the surface of the jacket material 4 The protective agent 12 plays the role of a plug that prevents these, prevents intrusion of outside air, and keeps the degree of vacuum inside the jacket material 4 well. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the heat insulation performance of the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 from being lowered due to the bending of the ear portion 6 of the jacket material 4.

図7〜図14は、本実施例における断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1を示している。図7〜図10の各図において、真空断熱パネル1は平板状で、平面視で四辺形(矩形)の角部11の一つに、平面状の角面部15を形成したC面カットを有する芯材2と、ガスバリア性フィルムからなる外被材4と、により構成される。芯材2は実施例1のように、複数のシート体2A,2Bで構成してもよく、また実施例1で示した吸着剤3や固定部材5を、シート体2A,2Bの間に挟持させてもよい。本実施例でも、芯材2は袋状の外被材4に収容され、外被材4の内部を減圧した後に、外被材4の開口部を封止することで、芯材2の全周囲を包んで密閉した真空断熱パネル1が得られる。   7-14 has shown the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 as a heat insulating body in a present Example. 7 to 10, the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 has a flat plate shape and has a C-plane cut in which a planar square surface portion 15 is formed in one of the quadrangular (rectangular) corner portions 11 in plan view. It is comprised by the core material 2 and the jacket material 4 which consists of a gas barrier film. The core material 2 may be composed of a plurality of sheet bodies 2A and 2B as in the first embodiment, and the adsorbent 3 and the fixing member 5 shown in the first embodiment are sandwiched between the sheet bodies 2A and 2B. You may let them. Also in the present embodiment, the core material 2 is accommodated in the bag-shaped outer covering material 4, and after the inside of the outer covering material 4 is decompressed, the opening of the outer covering material 4 is sealed, whereby the entire core material 2 is sealed. A vacuum insulation panel 1 is obtained which is enclosed and sealed.

外被材4は、平面視同形をなす2枚のシート部材4A,4Bを重ね合わせ、シート部材4A,4Bの外周部(端部)をヒートシールして形成されるもので、外被材4の四方周縁には、シート部材4A,4Bを当該ヒートシールで接合した余剰部分としての耳部6が形成される。この耳部6は、真空断熱パネル1としては機能しない余白となる。また、芯材2を内部に密封収納した状態で、芯材2を含まない外被材4のみで構成されるヒレ部16が、芯材2の外周端部から外被材4の外周端部にかけて形成される。したがって、ヒレ部16はその外周側に熱溶着部としての耳部6を含んだものとなっている。   The jacket material 4 is formed by superposing two sheet members 4A and 4B having the same shape in plan view and heat-sealing the outer peripheral portions (end portions) of the sheet members 4A and 4B. 4 is formed with an ear portion 6 as an excess portion obtained by joining the sheet members 4A and 4B by the heat seal. This ear | edge part 6 becomes a blank which does not function as the vacuum heat insulation panel 1. FIG. Further, in the state where the core material 2 is hermetically sealed, the fin portion 16 composed only of the jacket material 4 that does not include the core material 2 extends from the outer edge of the core material 2 to the outer edge of the jacket material 4. It is formed over. Therefore, the fin part 16 includes the ear part 6 as a heat welding part on the outer peripheral side thereof.

また、本実施例の外被材4は、ガスバリア層と熱溶着層とを有するシート部材4A,4Bで構成される。特に、ここでのガスバリア層はアルミ蒸着層などの蒸着層からなり、アルミ蒸着層は、アルミニウムを高真空状態で電子ビームや高周波誘導などにより加熱蒸発させた微細粒子を、基材であるフィルム面に付着させてなる。アルミ蒸着層の厚さは0.05μm程度であり、アルミ箔層の厚さである5〜10μm程度よりも薄く、また基材に付着した粒子と粒子の間には隙間があるため、外被材4によるヒートブリッジの影響を低減できる。さらに、外被材4の一方の面をなし、芯材2の下面側を包むシート部材4Bは、前記ガスバリア層をアルミ箔層で形成し、外被材4の他方の面をなし、芯材2の上面側を包むシート部材4Aは、前記ガスバリア層をアルミ蒸着層などの蒸着層で形成するのが好ましい。   Moreover, the jacket material 4 of the present embodiment is composed of sheet members 4A and 4B each having a gas barrier layer and a heat welding layer. In particular, the gas barrier layer here is composed of a vapor deposition layer such as an aluminum vapor deposition layer, and the aluminum vapor deposition layer is a film surface that is a base material for fine particles obtained by heating and evaporating aluminum by electron beam or high frequency induction in a high vacuum state. It is made to adhere to. The thickness of the aluminum vapor deposition layer is about 0.05 μm, which is thinner than about 5 to 10 μm, which is the thickness of the aluminum foil layer, and there is a gap between the particles adhering to the substrate. The influence of the heat bridge caused by the material 4 can be reduced. Further, the sheet member 4B that forms one surface of the jacket material 4 and wraps the lower surface side of the core material 2 is formed by forming the gas barrier layer with an aluminum foil layer and the other surface of the jacket material 4, In the sheet member 4A that wraps the upper surface side of the gas barrier layer 2, the gas barrier layer is preferably formed of a vapor deposition layer such as an aluminum vapor deposition layer.

本実施例の真空断熱パネル1は、芯材2を袋状の外被材4で包み、外被材4の内部を強制的に減圧した後、外被材4の開口部を封止して全周囲を密閉する。その後、真空断熱パネル1は、芯材2の外周の間に芯材2を含まない外被材4のみで構成されるヒレ部16を折り畳んで製造される。具体的には、図7に示すように、外被材4の内部に芯材2を入れて真空封止したヒレ部16を折り畳む前の真空断熱パネル1を用意し、そこから図8に示すように、芯材2の角面部15に沿って、ヒレ部16の一部のみを芯材2が設けられている部分の一方の面である下面に向けて折り畳む。このときヒレ部16は、外被材4のガスバリア層がシート部材4Bのアルミ箔層である一方の面に向けて折り返されることになる。   The vacuum heat insulation panel 1 of the present embodiment wraps the core material 2 with a bag-like outer covering material 4 and forcibly depressurizes the inside of the outer covering material 4, and then seals the opening of the outer covering material 4. Seal all around. Then, the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 is manufactured by folding the fin part 16 comprised only by the jacket material 4 which does not contain the core material 2 between the outer periphery of the core material 2. FIG. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, a vacuum heat insulation panel 1 is prepared before folding the fin portion 16 in which the core material 2 is put inside the jacket material 4 and vacuum-sealed, and then shown in FIG. 8. As described above, along the corner surface portion 15 of the core material 2, only a part of the fin portion 16 is folded toward the lower surface which is one surface of the portion where the core material 2 is provided. At this time, the fin portion 16 is folded back toward one surface where the gas barrier layer of the jacket material 4 is the aluminum foil layer of the sheet member 4B.

次に、図9に示すように、芯材2の対向する一対の外面部である辺に沿って、芯材2が設けられている部分の他方の面である上面に向けてヒレ部16の一部を折り曲げた後、図10に示すように、芯材2の対向する別な一対の外面部である辺に沿って、同じく芯材2が設けられている部分の他方の面である上面に向けて残りのヒレ部16を折り曲げる。なお、上記一連の手順で、芯材2が設けられている部分の一方の面を上面とし、芯材2が設けられている部分の他方の面を下面としてもよく、その場合は、シート部材4Aのガスバリア層をアルミ箔層とし、シート部材4Bのガスバリア層を蒸着層とすればよい。   Next, as shown in FIG. 9, along the sides that are a pair of opposed outer surface portions of the core material 2, the fin portion 16 is directed toward the upper surface that is the other surface of the portion where the core material 2 is provided. After the part is bent, as shown in FIG. 10, the upper surface which is the other surface of the portion where the core material 2 is also provided along the side which is another pair of outer surface portions of the core material 2 facing each other. The remaining fin part 16 is bent toward. In the above-described series of steps, one surface of the portion where the core material 2 is provided may be the upper surface, and the other surface of the portion where the core material 2 is provided may be the lower surface. The gas barrier layer of 4A may be an aluminum foil layer, and the gas barrier layer of the sheet member 4B may be a vapor deposition layer.

従来の折り畳み手順では、外被材4の全てのヒレ部16を芯材2のある部分の一方の面に集中して折り畳んでいたが、これでは角面部15でヒレ部16が幾重にも折り曲げられてたわみが生じる虞があった。また、角面部15のエッジでヒレ部16の応力が大きくなり、外被材4が破れてリークが生じる虞もあった。   In the conventional folding procedure, all the fin portions 16 of the jacket material 4 are folded in a concentrated manner on one surface of the portion with the core material 2, but in this case, the fin portions 16 are folded several times at the corner surface portion 15. There was a risk of bending. Further, the stress of the fin portion 16 is increased at the edge of the corner surface portion 15, and there is a possibility that the jacket material 4 is torn and leakage occurs.

そこで本実施例では、はじめに角面部15の外側に位置するヒレ部16を、芯材2のある部分の一方の面に向けて折り畳む(図8)。次に、その他のヒレ部16を、芯材2のある部分の他方の面に向けて折り畳む(図9および図10)。この一連の折り畳み手順によって、ヒレ部16が芯材2の一方の面に集中して折り曲げられるのを回避し、角面部15におけるヒレ部16のたわみが軽減され、角面部15のエッジでのヒレ部16の応力を軽減することができる。   Therefore, in the present embodiment, the fin portion 16 positioned outside the square surface portion 15 is first folded toward one surface of the portion where the core material 2 is present (FIG. 8). Next, the other fin part 16 is folded toward the other surface of the part with the core material 2 (FIGS. 9 and 10). By this series of folding procedures, it is avoided that the fin portion 16 is concentrated and bent on one surface of the core member 2, the deflection of the fin portion 16 in the corner portion 15 is reduced, and the fin at the edge of the corner portion 15 is reduced. The stress of the part 16 can be reduced.

また、外被材4のガスバリア層をアルミ蒸着層のような蒸着層とすることで、折り畳んだヒレ部16を伝って他方の面に熱が回り込むヒートブリッジを低減し、真空断熱パネル1の熱伝導率を低減することができる。さらに、芯材2の角面部15でヒレ部16をアルミ箔層である面に向かって折り畳むことにより、外被材4の蒸着層である面を外側にして、外被材4によるヒートブリッジの影響を低減でき、真空断熱パネル1の熱伝導率をさらに低減することができる。   In addition, by forming the gas barrier layer of the jacket material 4 as a vapor deposition layer such as an aluminum vapor deposition layer, the heat bridge through which heat flows to the other surface through the folded fin portion 16 is reduced, and the heat of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 is reduced. Conductivity can be reduced. Further, by folding the fin portion 16 toward the surface that is the aluminum foil layer at the corner surface portion 15 of the core material 2, the surface that is the vapor deposition layer of the jacket material 4 is set to the outside, and the heat bridge of the jacket material 4 The influence can be reduced, and the thermal conductivity of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 can be further reduced.

以上のように、本実施例では、ガスバリア層と熱溶着層を有する外被材4で、C面カットした角面部15を有する芯材2を覆い、外被材4の内部を減圧密封してなる断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1において、外被材4は、芯材2の外周の間に芯材2を含まない外被材4のみで構成される一部のヒレ部16のみを、芯材2の角面部15で芯材2のある部分の一方の面に向かって折り畳んだ後、角面部15とは別な芯材2の外面部で、他のヒレ部16を芯材2のある部分の他方の面に向かって折り畳んで形成される。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the outer cover material 4 having the gas barrier layer and the heat-welding layer covers the core material 2 having the C-face cut corner portion 15, and the inside of the outer cover material 4 is sealed under reduced pressure. In the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 serving as a heat insulator, the outer cover material 4 includes only a part of the fin portion 16 composed of only the outer cover material 4 that does not include the core material 2 between the outer periphery of the core material 2. After being folded toward one surface of a portion of the core material 2 at the corner surface portion 15 of the material 2, another fin portion 16 is provided on the core material 2 on the outer surface portion of the core material 2 different from the corner surface portion 15. It is formed by folding toward the other surface of the part.

この場合、袋状の外被材4に芯材2を挿入して内部を減圧密封した後、外被材4のヒレ部16を芯材2の角面部15で芯材2のある部分の一方の面に向けて折り畳み、角面部15とは別な芯材2の外面部で、外被材4のヒレ部16を芯材2のある部分の他方の面に折り畳むことで、ヒレ部16を芯材2のある部分の一方の面に集中して折り曲げるのを回避できる。これにより、芯材2の角部11にC面カットした角面部15がある場合でも、外被材4のヒレ部16のたわみを軽減できると共に、角面部15のエッジでのヒレ部16の応力を軽減できる。   In this case, after the core material 2 is inserted into the bag-shaped outer cover material 4 and the inside is sealed under reduced pressure, the fin portion 16 of the outer cover material 4 is connected to one of the portions of the core material 2 where the core surface 2 is located. The fin portion 16 is folded by folding the fin portion 16 of the outer cover material 4 to the other surface of the portion where the core material 2 is located at the outer surface portion of the core material 2 different from the corner surface portion 15. It is possible to avoid bending in a concentrated manner on one surface of a portion of the core material 2. Thereby, even when the corner portion 11 of the core material 2 has the C-face cut corner portion 15, the deflection of the fin portion 16 of the outer cover material 4 can be reduced, and the stress of the fin portion 16 at the edge of the corner portion 15 can be reduced. Can be reduced.

また本実施例では、外被材4を構成するガスバリア層が蒸着層からなる。   In this embodiment, the gas barrier layer constituting the jacket material 4 is a vapor deposition layer.

この場合の蒸着層は、アルミニウムなどの母材を高真空状態で加熱蒸発させた微細粒子をフィルム面に付着させたもので、アルミ蒸着層はアルミ箔層よりも薄く、粒子と粒子との間には隙間がある。したがって、外被材4を構成するガスバリア層を蒸着層とすれば、外被材4によるヒートブリッジの影響を低減できる。   In this case, the vapor deposition layer is formed by adhering fine particles obtained by heating and evaporating a base material such as aluminum in a high vacuum state to the film surface. The aluminum vapor deposition layer is thinner than the aluminum foil layer and between the particles. There is a gap. Therefore, if the gas barrier layer constituting the jacket material 4 is a vapor deposition layer, the influence of the heat bridge caused by the jacket material 4 can be reduced.

また、本実施例の外被材4は、一方の面のガスバリア層がアルミ箔層からなり、他方の面のガスバリア層が蒸着層からなり、芯材2の角面部15でヒレ部16をアルミ箔層に向かって折り畳んで形成される。   Further, in the jacket material 4 of this embodiment, the gas barrier layer on one side is made of an aluminum foil layer, the gas barrier layer on the other side is made of a vapor deposition layer, and the fin portion 16 is made of aluminum at the corner surface portion 15 of the core material 2. It is formed by folding toward the foil layer.

この場合の蒸着層は、前述のようにアルミニウムなどの母材を高真空状態で加熱蒸発させた微細粒子をフィルム面に付着させたもので、アルミ蒸着層はアルミ箔層よりも薄く、粒子と粒子との間には隙間がある。したがって、芯材2の角面部15でヒレ部16をアルミ箔層に向かって折り畳むことにより、外被材4の蒸着層を外側にして、外被材4によるヒートブリッジの影響を低減できる。   The vapor deposition layer in this case is obtained by adhering fine particles obtained by heating and evaporating a base material such as aluminum in a high vacuum state to the film surface as described above. The aluminum vapor deposition layer is thinner than the aluminum foil layer, and the particles and There is a gap between the particles. Therefore, by folding the fin portion 16 toward the aluminum foil layer at the corner surface portion 15 of the core material 2, the vapor deposition layer of the jacket material 4 can be placed outside, and the influence of the heat bridge caused by the jacket material 4 can be reduced.

次に、図7〜図10に示した真空断熱パネル1を、サブ断熱体として別な外被材4’に入れて真空封止し、最終的な断熱体に相当する真空断熱パネル1’を得るまで構成を、図11〜図14に基づいて説明する。   Next, the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 shown in FIG. 7 to FIG. 10 is put in another jacket material 4 ′ as a sub heat insulation and vacuum sealed, and a vacuum heat insulation panel 1 ′ corresponding to the final heat insulation is obtained. The configuration will be described with reference to FIGS.

ここでの別な外被材4’は、前記外被材4と同様に、平面視同形をなす2枚のシート部材4A’,4B’を重ね合わせ、シート部材4A’,4B’の外周部(端部)をヒートシールして形成されるもので、外被材4’の四方周縁には、シート部材4A’,4B’を当該ヒートシールで接合した余剰部分としての耳部6’が形成される。この耳部6’は、最終的な真空断熱パネル1’としては機能しない余白となる。また、芯材2ひいてはサブの真空断熱パネル1を含まない外被材4’のみで構成されるヒレ部16’が、サブの真空断熱パネル1の外周端部から外被材4’の外周端部にかけて形成される。したがって、ヒレ部16’はその外周側に熱溶着部としての耳部6’を含んだものとなっている。外被材4’そのものは、前述の外被材4と同じ構成を有する。   The other jacket material 4 ′ here is similar to the jacket material 4 in that the two sheet members 4A ′ and 4B ′ having the same shape in plan view are overlapped, and the outer periphery of the sheet members 4A ′ and 4B ′. This is formed by heat-sealing the portion (end portion), and at the four-side periphery of the jacket material 4 ′, an ear portion 6 ′ as a surplus portion in which the sheet members 4A ′ and 4B ′ are joined by the heat seal. It is formed. This ear | edge part 6 'becomes a blank which does not function as final vacuum insulation panel 1'. Further, the fin portion 16 ′ composed only of the core material 2, and thus the outer cover material 4 ′ not including the sub vacuum heat insulation panel 1, extends from the outer peripheral edge of the sub vacuum heat insulation panel 1 to the outer peripheral edge of the outer cover material 4 ′. It is formed over the part. Accordingly, the fin portion 16 'includes an ear portion 6' as a heat welding portion on the outer peripheral side thereof. The jacket material 4 ′ itself has the same configuration as the jacket material 4 described above.

そして、サブの真空断熱パネル1を袋状の外被材4’で包み、外被材4’の内部を強制的に減圧した後、外被材4’の開口部を封止して全周囲を密閉する。つまり、図11に示すように、外被材4’の内部にサブの真空断熱パネル1を入れて真空封止したヒレ部16’を折り畳む前の真空断熱パネル1’を用意し、そこから図12に示すように、芯材2の角面部15に沿って、ヒレ部16’の一部のみを芯材2が設けられている部分の一方の面である下面に向けて折り畳む。   Then, the sub vacuum heat insulation panel 1 is wrapped with a bag-shaped outer covering material 4 ′, the inside of the outer covering material 4 ′ is forcibly depressurized, and then the opening of the outer covering material 4 ′ is sealed to surround the entire periphery. To seal. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, a vacuum heat insulation panel 1 ′ is prepared before folding the fin portion 16 ′ that is vacuum sealed by putting the sub vacuum heat insulation panel 1 inside the jacket material 4 ′. As shown in FIG. 12, along the corner surface portion 15 of the core material 2, only a part of the fin portion 16 ′ is folded toward the lower surface that is one surface of the portion where the core material 2 is provided.

次に、図13に示すように、芯材2の対向する一対の外面部である辺に沿って、芯材2が設けられている部分の他方の面である上面に向けてヒレ部16’の一部を折り曲げた後、図14に示すように、芯材2の対向する別な一対の外面部である辺に沿って、同じく芯材2が設けられている部分の他方の面である上面に向けて残りのヒレ部16’を折り曲げる。なお、上記一連の手順で、芯材2が設けられている部分の一方の面を上面とし、芯材2が設けられている部分の他方の面を下面としてもよい。また、図13でのヒレ部16’の折り畳み方向と、図14でのヒレ部16’の折り畳み方向を同じにしてもよい。   Next, as shown in FIG. 13, along the sides that are a pair of opposed outer surface portions of the core material 2, toward the upper surface that is the other surface of the portion where the core material 2 is provided, the fin portion 16 ′. 14 is the other surface of the portion where the core material 2 is also provided along the side which is another pair of outer surface portions of the core material 2 facing each other, as shown in FIG. The remaining fin portion 16 'is bent toward the upper surface. In the above-described series of procedures, one surface of the portion where the core material 2 is provided may be the upper surface, and the other surface of the portion where the core material 2 is provided may be the lower surface. Further, the folding direction of the fin portion 16 ′ in FIG. 13 may be the same as the folding direction of the fin portion 16 ′ in FIG. 14.

以上のように、図11〜図14に示す真空断熱パネル1’は、図10で製造した真空断熱パネル1をサブ断熱体として、このサブの真空断熱パネル1をさらに別な外被材4’に入れて真空封止した構成となっている。   As described above, the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 ′ shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 14 uses the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 manufactured in FIG. It is configured to be sealed in a vacuum.

この場合、外被材4,4’を二重構造にして芯材2を包むことにより、内側の外被材4に傷が付いてリークが生じても、外側の別な外被材4’でリークの進行を食い止めることができ、信頼性の向上に寄与する。また、完成した断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1’をぶつけたり擦ったりしても、外側の別な外被材が緩衝物となり、内側の外被材4へのダメージを防ぐ効果がある。したがって、芯材2の角部にC面カットした角面部15がある場合でも、真空断熱パネル1’として内部の真空度が低下せず、良好な断熱性能を維持できる。   In this case, by covering the core material 2 with a double structure of the jacket materials 4 and 4 ', even if the inner jacket material 4 is damaged and leaks, another outer jacket material 4' is formed. Can stop the progress of leak and contribute to the improvement of reliability. Moreover, even if the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 ′ as a completed heat insulating body is hit or rubbed, another outer covering material becomes a buffer and has an effect of preventing damage to the inner covering material 4. Therefore, even when the corner portion 15 having the C-surface cut is provided at the corner portion of the core material 2, the vacuum degree inside the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 'does not decrease, and good heat insulating performance can be maintained.

また本実施例では、サブの真空断熱パネル1をさらに別な外被材4’に入れて二回目に真空封止した後に、芯材2の角面部15で折り畳む別な外被材4’のヒレ部16’と、芯材2の外面部で折り畳む別な外被材4’の他のヒレ部16’とを、同じ折り畳み方向としてもよい。   Further, in this embodiment, the sub vacuum insulation panel 1 is placed in another outer covering material 4 ′, vacuum sealed for the second time, and then folded on the corner surface portion 15 of the core material 2. It is good also considering the fin part 16 'and the other fin part 16' of another covering material 4 'folded at the outer surface part of the core material 2 as the same folding direction.

この場合、二回目の真空封止後に、別な外被材4’は、芯材2の角面部15で折り畳むヒレ部16’と、芯材2の外面部で折り畳む他のヒレ部16’との折り畳み方向を同じにすることで、折り畳みの際に真空断熱パネル1’を裏返す必要がなく、生産性に優れたものとすることができる。   In this case, after the second vacuum sealing, another covering material 4 ′ includes a fin portion 16 ′ folded at the corner surface portion 15 of the core material 2 and another fin portion 16 ′ folded at the outer surface portion of the core material 2. By making the folding direction of the same the folding direction, it is not necessary to turn over the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 ′ during folding, and the productivity can be improved.

また本実施例では、サブの真空断熱パネル1をさらに別な外被材4’に入れて二回目に真空封止した後に、芯材2の角面部15で折り畳む別な外被材4’のヒレ部16’と、芯材2の外面部で折り畳む別な外被材4’の他のヒレ部16’とを、反対の折り畳み方向としてもよい。   Further, in this embodiment, the sub vacuum insulation panel 1 is placed in another outer covering material 4 ′, vacuum sealed for the second time, and then folded on the corner surface portion 15 of the core material 2. It is good also considering the fin part 16 'and the other fin part 16' of another covering material 4 'folded at the outer surface part of the core material 2 as an opposite folding direction.

この場合、二回目の真空封止後に、別な外被材4’は、芯材2の角面部15で折り畳むヒレ部16’と、芯材2の外面部で折り畳む他のヒレ部16’との折り畳み方向を反対にすることで、別な外被材4’のヒレ部16’のたわみや、芯材2の角面部15のエッジでのヒレ部16’の応力をより軽減できる。   In this case, after the second vacuum sealing, another covering material 4 ′ includes a fin portion 16 ′ folded at the corner surface portion 15 of the core material 2 and another fin portion 16 ′ folded at the outer surface portion of the core material 2. By reversing the folding direction, the deflection of the fin portion 16 ′ of another jacket material 4 ′ and the stress of the fin portion 16 ′ at the edge of the corner surface portion 15 of the core material 2 can be further reduced.

図15および図16は、本実施例における断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1を示している。これらの各図において、真空断熱パネル1は平板状で、前述のシート体2A,2Bに対応する薄肉のグラスウールシート18A,18B,18C,18Dを積層し、その中の中間層のグラスウールシート18B,18Cに一つの吸着剤孔21を開けて、当該吸着剤孔21内に複数個の連結した吸着剤3を配置した芯材2と、芯材2を密閉包装するために、ガス若しくは水分を遮断する外被材4とにより構成される。本実施例でも、芯材2は袋状の外被材4に収容され、外被材4の内部を減圧した後に、外被材4の開口部を封止することで、芯材2の全周囲を包んで密閉した真空断熱パネル1が得られる。   15 and 16 show the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 as a heat insulator in the present embodiment.

A vacuum insulation panel 1 is obtained which is enclosed and sealed.

外被材4は、平面視同形をなす2枚のシート部材4A,4Bを重ね合わせ、シート部材4A,4Bの外周部(端部)をヒートシールして形成されるもので、外被材4の四方周縁には、シート部材4A,4Bを当該ヒートシールで接合した余剰部分としての耳部6が形成される。この耳部6は、真空断熱パネル1としては機能しない余白となる。   The jacket material 4 is formed by superposing two sheet members 4A and 4B having the same shape in plan view and heat-sealing the outer peripheral portions (end portions) of the sheet members 4A and 4B. 4 is formed with an ear portion 6 as an excess portion obtained by joining the sheet members 4A and 4B by the heat seal. This ear | edge part 6 becomes a blank which does not function as the vacuum heat insulation panel 1. FIG.

それぞれの吸着剤3は、粉状または塊状の消石灰23を、小袋である袋体24の内部に収納して構成され、吸着剤孔21の内部で個々の吸着剤3がバラバラに離れないように、吸着剤3は連結部25で直列に接続される。図15では4個の吸着剤3が一つの吸着剤孔21の内部に配置されているが、その個数は複数であれば特に限定されず、隣り合う吸着剤3,3の間に連結部25を設けて、複数の吸着剤3を接続する構成であればよい。また本実施例では、中間層のグラスウールシート18B,18Cに吸着剤孔21を設けているが、芯材2を貫通するように、全てのグラスウールシート18A,18B,18C,18Dに吸着剤孔21を設けてもよい。   Each adsorbent 3 is configured by storing powdered or massive slaked lime 23 inside a bag body 24 that is a small bag so that the individual adsorbents 3 are not separated apart inside the adsorbent hole 21.

And a plurality of adsorbents 3 may be connected. In this embodiment, the adsorbent holes 21 are provided in the glass wool sheets 18B and 18C of the intermediate layer. However, the adsorbent holes 21 are formed in all the glass wool sheets 18A, 18B, 18C and 18D so as to penetrate the core material 2. May be provided.

図17は、比較のために従来の真空断熱パネル1における芯材2の構成を示している。従来の真空断熱パネル1は、外被材4の内部でガスや水蒸気の吸収効率を上げるために、平面視で芯材2の中間層に複数の吸着剤孔21A,21B,21Cを設け、それぞれの吸着剤孔21A,21B,21Cに単独の吸着剤3を配設している。一方、図16に示すように、本実施例では平面視で芯材2の中間層の一箇所に吸着剤孔21を設け、その吸着剤孔21に連結した複数の吸着剤3を集中して配設することで、外被材4の内部におけるガスや水蒸気の吸収効率をさらに上げている。従って、本実施例の吸着剤孔21は、従来の吸着剤孔21A,21B,21Cとは異なり、1個ではなく複数個の吸着剤3が収納し得る大きさに形成される。   FIG. 17 shows the configuration of the core 2 in the conventional vacuum heat insulation panel 1 for comparison. The conventional vacuum heat insulation panel 1 is provided with a plurality of adsorbent holes 21A, 21B, and 21C in the intermediate layer of the core material 2 in a plan view in order to increase the absorption efficiency of gas and water vapor inside the jacket material 4, A single adsorbent 3 is disposed in the adsorbent holes 21A, 21B, and 21C. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 16, in this embodiment, an adsorbent hole 21 is provided in one place of the intermediate layer of the core material 2 in plan view, and a plurality of adsorbents 3 connected to the adsorbent hole 21 are concentrated. By arranging, the absorption efficiency of gas and water vapor inside the jacket material 4 is further increased. Therefore, unlike the conventional adsorbent holes 21A, 21B, and 21C, the adsorbent hole 21 of the present embodiment is formed in a size that can accommodate a plurality of adsorbents 3 instead of one.

そして上記構成では、真空断熱パネル1の製造工程で、芯材2に設けた一つの吸着剤孔21に、連結部25で予め連結された複数個の吸着剤3を配置し、これらを袋状の外被材4に収容する。吸着剤孔21は一つしかなく、そこに複数個の連結した吸着剤3を置けば、全ての吸着剤3の配置作業は簡単に完了する。また、従来よりも吸着剤孔21を設ける箇所が少ないので、作業中に吸着剤3を配置し忘れる不良を減らすことができる。その後、外被材4の内部を減圧して、外被材4の開口部を封止することで、芯材2の全周囲を包んで密閉した真空断熱パネル1が得られる。   And in the said structure, the several adsorbent 3 previously connected by the connection part 25 is arrange | positioned in the one adsorbent hole 21 provided in the core material 2 at the manufacturing process of the vacuum heat insulation panel 1, and these are bag-shaped. The outer covering material 4 is accommodated. There is only one adsorbent hole 21, and if a plurality of adsorbents 3 connected to each other are placed there, the arrangement work of all the adsorbents 3 is easily completed. Moreover, since there are few places which provide the adsorbent hole 21 compared with the past, the defect which forgets to arrange | position the adsorbent 3 during a work can be reduced. Thereafter, the inside of the jacket material 4 is depressurized, and the opening of the jacket material 4 is sealed, whereby the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 that is wrapped around the entire periphery of the core material 2 is obtained.

以上のように、本実施例の断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1は、薄肉のグラスウールシート18A,18B,18C,18Dによるシート体を複数枚積層し、積層したシート体の中間層であるグラスウールシート18B,18C,に吸着剤孔21を設け、この吸着剤孔21に複数個連結した吸着剤3を配置した芯材2を、ガスおよび水蒸気の透過を阻止する外被材4で包み、外被材4の内部を減圧した後に封止する構成となっている。   As described above, the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 as a heat insulator of the present embodiment includes a plurality of thin glass wool sheets 18A, 18B, 18C, and 18D, and a glass wool sheet that is an intermediate layer of the laminated sheet bodies. An adsorbent hole 21 is provided in 18B and 18C, and the core material 2 in which a plurality of adsorbents 3 connected to the adsorbent hole 21 is disposed is wrapped with an outer cover material 4 that prevents the permeation of gas and water vapor. The inside of the material 4 is sealed and then sealed.

この場合、芯材2内に複数個の吸着剤3を集中して配置することで、外被材4の内部の水分を吸着して、真空断熱パネル1としての性能劣化を低減できる。また、吸着剤3を一つずつ吸着剤孔に配置するのではなく、複数個の連結した吸着剤3を一つの吸着剤孔21に配置するので、吸着剤3を配置する作業が容易になる。また、吸着剤孔21を設ける箇所を減らすことができるので、吸着剤孔21に吸着剤3を配置し忘れる不良を低減できる。   In this case, by disposing the plurality of adsorbents 3 in the core material 2 in a concentrated manner, moisture inside the jacket material 4 can be adsorbed and performance deterioration as the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 can be reduced. Moreover, since the adsorbents 3 are not arranged in the adsorbent holes one by one, but a plurality of adsorbents 3 connected to each other are arranged in one adsorbent hole 21, the work of arranging the adsorbents 3 becomes easy. . Moreover, since the location which provides the adsorbent hole 21 can be reduced, the defect which forgets to arrange | position the adsorbent 3 in the adsorbent hole 21 can be reduced.

また、本実施例におけるそれぞれの吸着剤3は、生石灰23を袋体24に封入して構成される。   Further, each adsorbent 3 in the present embodiment is configured by sealing quicklime 23 in a bag body 24.

この場合、実質的にガスや水分を吸着する材料となる生石灰23を、そのままではなく袋体24に封入して吸着剤3とすることで、吸着剤孔21に複数個の連結した吸着剤3を配置する際の取り扱いを容易にすることができる。   In this case, a plurality of adsorbents 3 connected to the adsorbent holes 21 are formed by filling quick lime 23, which is a material that substantially adsorbs gas and moisture, into an adsorbent 3 by enclosing it in a bag 24 instead of as it is. The handling at the time of arranging can be made easy.

図18〜図20は、本実施例における断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1を示している。これらの各図において、真空断熱パネル1は平板状で、平面視で四辺形(矩形)状の芯材2と、ガスバリア性フィルムからなる外被材4と、粒状の酸化カルシウム,ゼオライト,シリカゲルなどを包材に入れた前述の吸着剤3に相当するゲッタ剤25とにより構成される。芯材2は、ほぼ平面状をなす繊維集合体26A,26B,26Cを複数枚重ねて構成される。圧縮変形する繊維集合体26A,26B,26Cは、前述したシート体2A,2Bに相当するもので、その枚数については特に限定しない。芯材2とゲッタ剤25は袋状の外被材4に収容され、外被材4の内部を減圧した後に、外被材4の開口部を封止することで、芯材2の全周囲を包んで密閉した真空断熱パネル1が得られる。   18-20 has shown the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 as a heat insulating body in a present Example. In each of these drawings, the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 has a flat plate shape, a quadrangular (rectangular) core material 2 in plan view, an outer cover material 4 made of a gas barrier film, granular calcium oxide, zeolite, silica gel, etc. And a getter agent 25 corresponding to the adsorbent 3 described above. The core material 2 is formed by stacking a plurality of fiber assemblies 26A, 26B, and 26C that are substantially planar. The fiber aggregates 26A, 26B, and 26C that are compressively deformed correspond to the sheet bodies 2A and 2B described above, and the number of sheets is not particularly limited. The core material 2 and the getter agent 25 are accommodated in a bag-shaped outer cover material 4, and after the inside of the outer cover material 4 is depressurized, the opening of the outer cover material 4 is sealed so that the entire periphery of the core material 2 The vacuum heat insulation panel 1 which is wrapped and sealed is obtained.

外被材4は、平面視同形をなす2枚のシート部材4A,4Bを重ね合わせ、シート部材4A,4Bの外周部(端部)をヒートシールして形成されるもので、外被材4の四方周縁には、シート部材4A,4Bを当該ヒートシールで接合した余剰部分としての耳部6が形成される。この耳部6は、真空断熱パネル1としては機能しない余白となる。   The jacket material 4 is formed by superposing two sheet members 4A and 4B having the same shape in plan view and heat-sealing the outer peripheral portions (end portions) of the sheet members 4A and 4B. 4 is formed with an ear portion 6 as an excess portion obtained by joining the sheet members 4A and 4B by the heat seal. This ear | edge part 6 becomes a blank which does not function as the vacuum heat insulation panel 1. FIG.

本実施例では、芯材2の内部にゲッタ剤25を配置するための埋設部28が設けられる。この埋設部28について、その構成と作用効果を詳しく説明する。   In the present embodiment, an embedded portion 28 for arranging the getter agent 25 is provided inside the core material 2. The configuration and operational effects of the buried portion 28 will be described in detail.

上述した繊維集合体26A,26B,26Cの厚さが例えば4mmである場合、仮に埋設部28としての空間を芯材2に設けずに、厚さが5mm程度のゲッタ剤25を芯材2に挟んで、ガスバリア性のある袋状の外被材4に入れ、内部を減圧封止した真空断熱パネルを製造したとする。この場合、外被材4の内部を真空封止した後に、芯材2の厚さが真空封止前に比べて70%に圧縮されたとすると、真空封止後の芯材2の厚さは、12mm×0.7=8.4mmとなる。そこに、厚さが5mm程度のゲッタ剤25を芯材2の内部に挟んで真空封止すると、ゲッタ剤25が多少圧縮されたとしても、ゲッタ剤25を挟んだ部分の真空断熱パネルの厚さは13.4mm前後となってしまい、凸状の飛び出し部分ができてしまう。   When the thickness of the fiber assemblies 26A, 26B, and 26C described above is, for example, 4 mm, the getter agent 25 having a thickness of about 5 mm is provided in the core material 2 without providing a space as the embedded portion 28 in the core material 2. It is assumed that a vacuum heat insulation panel is manufactured, which is sandwiched and placed in a bag-shaped outer covering material 4 having gas barrier properties and the inside is sealed under reduced pressure. In this case, if the thickness of the core material 2 is compressed to 70% compared with that before the vacuum sealing after the inside of the jacket material 4 is vacuum sealed, the thickness of the core material 2 after the vacuum sealing is 12 mm × 0.7 = 8.4 mm. If the getter agent 25 having a thickness of about 5 mm is sandwiched between the cores 2 and vacuum sealed there, even if the getter agent 25 is somewhat compressed, the thickness of the vacuum heat insulation panel at the portion sandwiching the getter agent 25 is reduced. The length becomes around 13.4 mm, and a convex protruding portion is formed.

その対策として、図21や図22に示すように、3枚の繊維集合体26A,26B,26Cからなす芯材2の中で、真ん中の繊維集合体26Bに切り抜き加工をして切り抜き部29を形成し、その切り抜き部29をゲッタ剤25の埋設部28の空間として設ける。   As a countermeasure, as shown in FIG. 21 and FIG. 22, in the core material 2 made of the three fiber assemblies 26 </ b> A, 26 </ b> B, 26 </ b> C, the middle fiber assembly 26 </ b> B is cut out to form the cutout portion 29. The cut-out portion 29 is formed as a space for the embedded portion 28 of the getter agent 25.

この場合、埋設部28にゲッタ剤25を配置した芯材2を外被材4に入れ、内部を減圧封止した真空断熱パネル1が得られるが、ゲッタ剤25を配置していない他の繊維集合体26A,26Cの厚さは、真空封止前に比べて真空封止後に70%に圧縮されたとすると、8mm×0.7=5.6mmとなり、ゲッタ剤25を配置した埋設部28の厚さは5mm(芯材2の繊維集合体26Bよりもゲッタ剤25のほうが厚いため、ゲッタ剤25の厚さが埋設部28の厚さとなる)となるため、ゲッタ剤25を埋設した部分の真空断熱パネル1の厚さは、10.6mm前後となる。したがって、これもやはりゲッタ剤25を埋設した部分以外の真空断熱パネル1の厚さである8.4mmよりも厚くなり、図22に示すような見栄えを損なう凸状の飛び出し部としての凸部30が、真空断熱パネル1の上面と下面にそれぞれ形成されてしまう。   In this case, the core material 2 in which the getter agent 25 is disposed in the embedded portion 28 is placed in the jacket material 4 to obtain the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 whose inside is sealed under reduced pressure, but other fibers in which the getter agent 25 is not disposed. Assuming that the aggregates 26A and 26C are compressed to 70% after vacuum sealing compared to before vacuum sealing, the thickness is 8 mm × 0.7 = 5.6 mm, and the thickness of the embedded portion 28 in which the getter agent 25 is disposed is as follows. Since the thickness is 5 mm (because the getter agent 25 is thicker than the fiber assembly 26B of the core material 2, the thickness of the getter agent 25 becomes the thickness of the embedded portion 28), the thickness of the portion where the getter agent 25 is embedded The thickness of the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 is around 10.6 mm. Accordingly, this is also thicker than 8.4 mm, which is the thickness of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 other than the portion where the getter agent 25 is embedded, and the convex portion 30 as a convex protruding portion that impairs the appearance as shown in FIG. However, it will be formed in the upper surface and lower surface of the vacuum heat insulation panel 1, respectively.

一方、本実施例では、図18〜図20で示すように、切り抜き加工をした以外の繊維集合体26A,26Cについて、切り抜き部29に相対する面に、切り抜き部29の開口面と同形の開口面を有する深さが1.6mmの凹状の切り欠き加工をそれぞれ行ない、これを切り欠き部31として、切り抜き部29と切り欠き部31とを組み合わせたゲッタ剤25を配置するための埋設部28としての空間を設ける。このような埋設部28に、ゲッタ剤25を配置した芯材2を外被材4に入れ、内部を減圧封止した真空断熱パネル1を得る。   On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 18 to 20, the fiber assemblies 26 </ b> A and 26 </ b> C other than the cut-out process have openings in the same shape as the opening surface of the cut-out portion 29 on the surface facing the cut-out portion 29. Recessed notches with a depth of 1.6 mm having a surface are respectively formed, and this is used as a notch 31, and an embedded portion 28 for arranging a getter agent 25 in which the notch 29 and the notch 31 are combined is arranged. As a space. The core material 2 in which the getter agent 25 is disposed in such a buried portion 28 is placed in the jacket material 4 to obtain the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 whose inside is sealed under reduced pressure.

この場合、外被材4の内部を真空封止した後に、芯材2の厚さが真空封止前に比べて70%に圧縮されたとすると、切り欠き部31における2枚の繊維集合体26A,26Cの厚さは、(4−1.6)×2×0.7=3.36mmとなり、ゲッタ剤25の厚さが5mmであるため、真空断熱パネル1は、ゲッタ剤25を埋設した部分の厚さが8.4mm前後となり、ゲッタ剤25を埋設していない他の部分の厚さ(8.4mm)とほぼ同じになる。したがって、図15に示すように、ゲッタ剤25を埋設部28に配置した状態で、外被材4の内部を真空封止した後も、従来のような凸状の飛び出し(凸部30)は生じない。   In this case, assuming that the thickness of the core material 2 is compressed to 70% compared with that before the vacuum sealing after the inside of the jacket material 4 is vacuum sealed, the two fiber aggregates 26A in the notch portion 31 are used. , 26C is (4-1.6) × 2 × 0.7 = 3.36 mm, and the thickness of the getter agent 25 is 5 mm. Therefore, the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 has the getter agent 25 embedded therein. The thickness of the portion is about 8.4 mm, which is substantially the same as the thickness (8.4 mm) of the other portion where the getter agent 25 is not embedded. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 15, even when the getter agent 25 is disposed in the embedded portion 28 and the inside of the outer cover material 4 is vacuum-sealed, the conventional protruding protrusion (convex portion 30) does not occur. Does not occur.

このように、外被材4に入れられた芯材2の真空封止前後の厚さの変化率に応じて、ゲッタ剤25を配置する埋設部28の空間を設けておくことで、真空断熱パネル1の表面におけるゲッタ剤25の厚みによる飛び出しをなくすことができ、真空断熱パネル1としての見栄えをよくすることができる。また、図18に示すように、凸部30へ加わる圧力によって、外被材4にピンホールが発生するのを低減でき、真空断熱パネル1を取付ける際の段差を解消することができる。   Thus, by providing the space of the embedded portion 28 in which the getter agent 25 is disposed according to the rate of change in thickness before and after vacuum sealing of the core material 2 placed in the jacket material 4, vacuum insulation is provided. The protrusion due to the thickness of the getter agent 25 on the surface of the panel 1 can be eliminated, and the appearance of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 can be improved. In addition, as shown in FIG. 18, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of pinholes in the jacket material 4 due to the pressure applied to the convex portion 30, and to eliminate the step when the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 is attached.

なお、包材に収納する粒の偏りによって、ゲッタ剤25の厚さに違いがある場合は、ゲッタ剤25の最大の厚さを基準にして、埋設部28の空間寸法を決定すればよい。また、切り欠き部31は凹状でなくても、例えば半円形などのゲッタ剤の形状に合う形ならばどのような形状でもよく、特定はしない。さらに本実施例では、切り抜き部29と切り欠き部31との組合せによって、真空封止後も凸部30が生じないような所定寸法の空間を有する埋設部28を形成しているが、個々の繊維集合体26A,26B,26Cの厚さや、ゲッタ剤25の厚さや、芯材2の真空封止前後の厚さの変化率を考慮して、切り抜き部29若しくは切り欠き部31だけで、所定寸法の空間を有する埋設部28を形成してもよい。   In addition, when there is a difference in the thickness of the getter agent 25 due to the deviation of the grains stored in the packaging material, the spatial dimension of the embedded portion 28 may be determined based on the maximum thickness of the getter agent 25. Further, the notch 31 may be any shape as long as it matches the shape of the getter agent, such as a semicircular shape, and is not specified, even if it is not concave. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the embedded portion 28 having a space of a predetermined size is formed by the combination of the cutout portion 29 and the cutout portion 31 so that the convex portion 30 does not occur even after vacuum sealing. In consideration of the thicknesses of the fiber assemblies 26A, 26B, 26C, the thickness of the getter agent 25, and the thickness change rate before and after the vacuum sealing of the core material 2, only the cutout portion 29 or the cutout portion 31 is used. You may form the embedding part 28 which has the space of a dimension.

以上のように、本実施例の断熱体である真空断熱パネル1は、板状の繊維集合体26A,26B,26Cを複数枚積層してなる芯材2と、芯材2の埋設部28に設置されるゲッタ剤25とを、ガスバリア性を有する外被材4に入れ、外被材4の内部を真空にして封止するものにおいて、外被材4の内部を真空封止した後に、真空断熱パネル1の表面にゲッタ剤25の厚みによる凸部30が形成されないような寸法を有する空間を、芯材2の埋設部28に設けている。   As described above, the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 which is a heat insulator of the present embodiment includes the core material 2 formed by laminating a plurality of plate-like fiber assemblies 26A, 26B, and 26C and the embedded portion 28 of the core material 2. In the case where the getter agent 25 to be installed is put in the jacket material 4 having gas barrier properties and the inside of the jacket material 4 is sealed in a vacuum, the inside of the jacket material 4 is vacuum-sealed, and then the vacuum is applied. A space having a dimension such that the convex portion 30 due to the thickness of the getter agent 25 is not formed on the surface of the heat insulating panel 1 is provided in the embedded portion 28 of the core material 2.

この場合、ゲッタ剤25を設置する芯材2の埋設部28に、ゲッタ剤25の厚みを考慮した空間を設けておくことにより、芯材2を入れた外被材4の内部を真空封止した後も、真空断熱パネル1の表面にゲッタ剤25の厚みによる凸状の飛び出しをなくすことができる。そのため、真空断熱パネル1としての見栄えがよくなり、凸部30へ加わる圧力に起因した外被材4のピンホールの発生を低減でき、真空断熱パネル1を取付ける際の段差を解消することができる。   In this case, by providing a space in consideration of the thickness of the getter agent 25 in the embedded portion 28 of the core member 2 where the getter agent 25 is installed, the inside of the jacket material 4 containing the core member 2 is vacuum-sealed. Even after this, the protruding protrusion due to the thickness of the getter agent 25 on the surface of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 can be eliminated. Therefore, the appearance as the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 is improved, the generation of pinholes in the outer cover material 4 due to the pressure applied to the convex portion 30 can be reduced, and the step when the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 is attached can be eliminated. .

また、本実施例における芯材2の埋設部28は、外被材4を真空封止する前後の芯材2の厚さの変化率に応じた空間を設けている。   Moreover, the embedding part 28 of the core material 2 in the present embodiment provides a space corresponding to the rate of change of the thickness of the core material 2 before and after the envelope material 4 is vacuum-sealed.

この場合、芯材2の埋設部28には、特に外被材4の内部を真空封止する前後の芯材2の厚さの変化率に応じた寸法を有する空間が形成されるので、外被材4の内部を真空封止した後で、芯材2の厚さが変化しても、真空断熱パネル1の表面にゲッタ剤25の厚みによる凸状の飛び出しを確実になくすことができる。   In this case, a space having a dimension corresponding to the rate of change of the thickness of the core material 2 before and after the inside of the jacket material 4 is vacuum-sealed is formed in the embedded portion 28 of the core material 2. Even if the thickness of the core material 2 changes after the inside of the workpiece 4 is vacuum-sealed, it is possible to reliably eliminate the protruding protrusion due to the thickness of the getter agent 25 on the surface of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1.

また、本実施例における芯材2の埋設部28は、芯材2を構成する繊維集合体26A,26B,26Cに設けた切り抜き部29、凹状の切り欠き部31、又は切り抜き部29と切り欠き部31の組合せで、ゲッタ剤25を設置する空間を設けている。   Further, the embedded portion 28 of the core material 2 in the present embodiment has a cutout portion 29, a concave cutout portion 31, or a cutout portion 29 provided in the fiber assemblies 26A, 26B, and 26C constituting the core material 2. A space for installing the getter agent 25 is provided by combining the portions 31.

この場合、繊維集合体26A,26B,26Cに切り抜き部29や切り欠き部31を設け、それらを単独若しくは複数組み合わせて、芯材2の埋設部28に空間を設けたので、真空断熱パネル1の表面にゲッタ剤25の厚みによる凸状の飛び出しを確実になくしつつも、埋設部28にゲッタ剤25を容易に設置することが可能になる。   In this case, the cutout portions 29 and the cutout portions 31 are provided in the fiber assemblies 26A, 26B, and 26C, and the space is provided in the embedded portion 28 of the core material 2 by combining them alone or in combination. It is possible to easily install the getter agent 25 in the embedded portion 28 while reliably eliminating the protruding protrusion due to the thickness of the getter agent 25 on the surface.

図23および図24は、本実施例における断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1’を示している。これらの各図に共通して、サブ断熱体となるサブの真空断熱パネル1は平板状で、平面視で四辺形(矩形)状の芯材2と、ガスバリア性フィルムからなる外被材4とにより構成される。芯材2は実施例1のように、複数のシート体2A,2Bで構成してもよく、また実施例1で示した吸着剤3や固定部材5を、シート体2A,2Bの間に挟持させてもよい。芯材2は袋状の外被材4に収容され、外被材4の内部を減圧した後に、外被材4の開口部を封止することで、芯材2の全周囲を包んで密閉したサブの真空断熱パネル1が得られる。   23 and 24 show a vacuum heat insulation panel 1 'as a heat insulator in the present embodiment. In common with each of these drawings, the sub vacuum heat insulation panel 1 serving as a sub heat insulator has a flat plate shape, a quadrilateral (rectangular) core material 2 in plan view, and an outer cover material 4 made of a gas barrier film. Consists of. The core material 2 may be composed of a plurality of sheet bodies 2A and 2B as in the first embodiment, and the adsorbent 3 and the fixing member 5 shown in the first embodiment are sandwiched between the sheet bodies 2A and 2B. You may let them. The core material 2 is accommodated in a bag-shaped outer cover material 4, and after the inside of the outer cover material 4 is decompressed, the opening of the outer cover material 4 is sealed to wrap around the entire periphery of the core material 2. Thus, the sub vacuum insulation panel 1 is obtained.

外被材4はバリア性を有するラミネート袋として、平面視同形をなす2枚のシート部材4A,4Bを重ね合わせ、シート部材4A,4Bの外周部(端部)をヒートシールして形成されるもので、外被材4の四方周縁には、シート部材4A,4Bを当該ヒートシールで接合した余剰部分としての耳部6が形成される。この耳部6は、真空断熱パネル1としては機能しない余白となる。   The outer cover material 4 is formed as a laminated bag having a barrier property by superposing two sheet members 4A and 4B having the same shape in plan view and heat-sealing the outer peripheral portions (end portions) of the sheet members 4A and 4B. Therefore, an ear portion 6 is formed on the outer periphery of the outer cover material 4 as an excessive portion where the sheet members 4A and 4B are joined by the heat seal. This ear | edge part 6 becomes a blank which does not function as the vacuum heat insulation panel 1. FIG.

図23に示す例では、外被材4の内部に芯材2を入れて真空封止した真空断熱パネル1の表面に、溝部35が形成される(図23(A)を参照)。この溝部35は、真空断熱パネル1の外側からプレスやローラーなどによる外力で溝付け加工を行なうことで形成されるが、その数や形状については特に限定しない。次に、図23(B)に示すように、溝部35を形成した後の真空断熱パネル1は外被材4’に入れられ、真空封止される。   In the example shown in FIG. 23, a groove portion 35 is formed on the surface of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 in which the core material 2 is placed inside the jacket material 4 and vacuum-sealed (see FIG. 23A). Although this groove part 35 is formed by performing grooving by the external force by a press, a roller, etc. from the outer side of the vacuum heat insulation panel 1, the number and shape are not specifically limited. Next, as shown in FIG. 23 (B), the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 after the groove portion 35 is formed is put in the jacket material 4 'and vacuum-sealed.

外被材4はバリア性を有するラミネート袋として、平面視同形をなす2枚のシート部材4A’,4B’を重ね合わせ、シート部材4A’,4B’の外周部(端部)をヒートシールして形成されるもので、外被材4の四方周縁には、シート部材4A’,4B’を当該ヒートシールで接合した余剰部分としての耳部6’が形成される。この耳部6は、最終的な真空断熱パネル1’としては機能しない余白となる。なお、外被材4’そのものは、前述の外被材4と同じ構成を有する。   The outer cover material 4 is a laminated bag having a barrier property, and two sheet members 4A ′ and 4B ′ having the same shape in plan view are overlapped, and the outer peripheral portions (end portions) of the sheet members 4A ′ and 4B ′ are heat sealed. In the outer periphery of the outer cover material 4, an ear portion 6 ′ is formed on the outer periphery of the outer cover material 4 as an excess portion obtained by joining the sheet members 4 </ b> A ′ and 4 </ b> B ′ by the heat seal. The ear 6 is a blank space that does not function as the final vacuum insulation panel 1 '. The jacket material 4 ′ itself has the same configuration as the jacket material 4 described above.

図23(C)は、真空断熱パネル1を外被材4’に入れて真空封止した後の完成状態の真空断熱パネル1’である。外被材4’の内部を減圧することにより、外被材4’の内面は真空断熱パネル1の外面に密着し、真空断熱パネル1’の表面には、溝部35の形状に対応した溝部35’が形成される。   FIG. 23C shows the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 ′ in a completed state after the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 is put in the jacket material 4 ′ and vacuum sealed. By reducing the pressure inside the jacket material 4 ′, the inner surface of the jacket material 4 ′ is brought into close contact with the outer surface of the vacuum heat insulation panel 1, and the groove portion 35 corresponding to the shape of the groove portion 35 is formed on the surface of the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 ′. 'Is formed.

図24は、真空断熱パネル1’の図23で説明したものとは別な製造工程を順に示している。ここでは図24(A)において、外被材4の内部に芯材2を入れて真空封止した真空断熱パネル1を製造した後、溝付け加工を行なわずに外被材4’に真空断熱パネル1を入れて真空封止する。外被材4’の内部を減圧することにより、外被材4’の内面は真空断熱パネル1の外面に密着する(図24(B)を参照)。   FIG. 24 sequentially shows manufacturing steps different from those described in FIG. 23 for the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 ′. Here, in FIG. 24A, after manufacturing the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 in which the core material 2 is put inside the jacket material 4 and vacuum-sealed, the vacuum insulation is performed on the jacket material 4 ′ without performing grooving. Panel 1 is placed and vacuum sealed. By reducing the pressure inside the jacket material 4 ′, the inner surface of the jacket material 4 ′ is brought into close contact with the outer surface of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 (see FIG. 24B).

この後、外被材4’の内部にサブの真空断熱パネル1を入れて真空封止した真空断熱パネル1’の表面に、溝部35’が形成される(図24(C)を参照)。この溝部35’は、真空断熱パネル1’の外側からプレスやローラーなどによる溝付け加工を行なうことで形成されるが、その数や形状については特に限定しない。真空断熱パネル1’に溝部35’を形成することにより、サブの真空断熱パネル1にも溝部35’に対応した形状の溝部35が形成される。次に、図23(B)に示すように、溝部35を形成した後の真空断熱パネル1は外被材4’に入れられ、真空封止される。   Thereafter, a groove 35 ′ is formed on the surface of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 ′ in which the sub vacuum heat insulating panel 1 is placed in the outer cover material 4 ′ and vacuum-sealed (see FIG. 24C). The groove 35 'is formed by grooving with a press or a roller from the outside of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1', but the number and shape are not particularly limited. By forming the groove portion 35 ′ in the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 ′, the groove portion 35 having a shape corresponding to the groove portion 35 ′ is also formed in the sub vacuum heat insulating panel 1. Next, as shown in FIG. 23 (B), the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 after the groove portion 35 is formed is put in the jacket material 4 'and vacuum-sealed.

以上のように、本実施例の図23に示した断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1’は、バリア性を有するラミネート袋である外被材4に芯材2を入れ、外被材4の内部を真空封止したサブ断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1の表面に、溝付け加工による溝部35を形成し、この真空断熱パネル1をさらにバリア性を有するラミネート袋である外被材4’に入れ、外被材4’の内部を真空封止して、真空断熱パネル1’の表面に溝部35’を形成するように構成している。   As described above, the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 ′ as the heat insulating body shown in FIG. 23 of the present embodiment has the core material 2 inserted into the outer covering material 4 which is a laminated bag having a barrier property, A groove portion 35 is formed by grooving on the surface of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 as a sub heat insulating material that is vacuum-sealed, and the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 is further placed in a jacket material 4 ′ that is a laminate bag having a barrier property. The inside of the jacket material 4 ′ is vacuum-sealed to form a groove 35 ′ on the surface of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 ′.

この場合、外被材4,4’を二重袋構造にして芯材2を包むことにより、真空断熱パネル1’の表面に溝付けを行なう際に、内側の外被材4に傷が付いてリークが生じても、外側の外被材4’でリークの進行を食い止めることができ、信頼性の向上に寄与する。また、完成した真空断熱パネル1’をぶつけたり擦ったりしても、外側の外被材4’が緩衝物となり、内側の外被材4へのダメージを防ぐ効果がある。したがって、真空断熱パネル1’に溝付けを行なった場合でも、真空断熱パネル1’の内部の真空度が低下せず、良好な断熱性能を維持できる。   In this case, when the outer cover materials 4 and 4 ′ are formed in a double bag structure and the core material 2 is wrapped, the inner cover material 4 is damaged when the surface of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 ′ is grooved. Even if a leak occurs, the outer jacket material 4 ′ can stop the progress of the leak, which contributes to the improvement of reliability. Further, even if the completed vacuum heat insulating panel 1 ′ is hit or rubbed, the outer jacket material 4 ′ becomes a buffer and has an effect of preventing damage to the inner jacket material 4. Therefore, even when grooving is performed on the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 ', the degree of vacuum inside the vacuum heat insulation panel 1' does not decrease, and good heat insulation performance can be maintained.

また、本実施例の図24に示した断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1’は、バリア性を有するラミネート袋である外被材4に芯材2を入れ、外被材4の内部を真空封止したサブ断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1を、さらにバリア性を有するラミネート袋である外被材4’に入れ、外被材4’の内部を真空封止した後に、真空断熱パネル1’の表面に、溝付け加工による溝部35’を形成するように構成している。   In addition, the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 ′ as a heat insulating body shown in FIG. 24 of the present embodiment puts the core material 2 in the outer cover material 4 which is a laminate bag having a barrier property, and vacuum seals the inside of the outer cover material 4. The vacuum insulation panel 1 as the stopped sub-insulator is put in the jacket material 4 ′, which is a laminate bag having a barrier property, and the inside of the jacket material 4 ′ is vacuum-sealed. A groove part 35 ′ is formed on the surface by grooving.

この場合、完成した真空断熱パネル1’をぶつけたり擦ったりしても、外側の外被材4’が緩衝物となり、内側の外被材4へのダメージを防ぐ効果がある。したがって、真空断熱パネル1’に溝付けを行なった場合でも、真空断熱パネル1’の内部の真空度が低下せず、良好な断熱性能を維持できる。さらに、外側の外被材4’内部の真空封止が完了してから、外力による溝付けを行なうので、先に溝付けを行なうものよりも、溝部35’の寸法精度を優れたものにすることができる。   In this case, even if the completed vacuum heat insulation panel 1 ′ is hit or rubbed, the outer jacket material 4 ′ becomes a buffer and has an effect of preventing damage to the inner jacket material 4. Therefore, even when grooving is performed on the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 ', the degree of vacuum inside the vacuum heat insulation panel 1' does not decrease, and good heat insulation performance can be maintained. Furthermore, since the grooving by the external force is performed after the vacuum sealing inside the outer jacket material 4 ′ is completed, the dimensional accuracy of the groove 35 ′ is superior to the grooving performed first. be able to.

図25〜図27は、前記実施例6における真空断熱パネル1’の製造工程を示しており、各部の構成は実施例6と全く共通している。   25 to 27 show the manufacturing process of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 ′ in the sixth embodiment, and the configuration of each part is completely the same as that in the sixth embodiment.

先ず図25では、サブ断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1を、袋状の外被材4’の内部に入れる。外被材4’は、真空断熱パネル1を挿入するための開口部36を残して、それ以外のシート部材4A’,4B’の端部をヒートシールした耳部6’が形成される。真空断熱パネル1は前述の図23で説明したように、溝付け加工による溝部35が予め形成される。   First, in FIG. 25, the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 as a sub heat insulator is put into a bag-shaped outer covering material 4 '. The outer cover material 4 ′ is formed with an ear portion 6 ′ in which the ends of the other sheet members 4 </ b> A ′ and 4 </ b> B ′ are heat-sealed, leaving an opening 36 for inserting the vacuum heat insulating panel 1. As described with reference to FIG. 23, the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 is previously formed with the groove portion 35 by grooving.

次に図26に示すように、外被材4’に真空断熱パネル1を入れた完成前の真空断熱パネル1’は、真空容器38内に入れられる。この真空容器38の内部には、真空断熱パネル1’を挟持する挟持部39と、開口部36を熱溶着させるためのシール装置40がそれぞれ配設される。そして、真空容器38に連通するポンプ41を動作させながら、挟持部39により真空断熱パネル1’を外側から加圧することで、外被材4’の内部を減圧状態にし、シール装置40で開口部36をシールして、外被材4’の内部を封止する。このときの外被材4’の封止圧力は、挟持部39による真空断熱パネル1’への加圧力と、ポンプ41の動作を制御することで、適宜調整できる。   Next, as shown in FIG. 26, the vacuum insulation panel 1 ′ before completion in which the vacuum insulation panel 1 is placed in the jacket material 4 ′ is placed in the vacuum container 38. Inside the vacuum vessel 38, a clamping part 39 for clamping the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 'and a sealing device 40 for thermally welding the opening 36 are arranged. Then, while operating the pump 41 communicating with the vacuum vessel 38, the inside of the outer cover material 4 ′ is decompressed by pressurizing the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 ′ from the outside by the clamping portion 39, and the sealing device 40 opens the opening portion. 36 is sealed to seal the inside of the jacket material 4 ′. The sealing pressure of the jacket material 4 ′ at this time can be adjusted as appropriate by controlling the pressure applied to the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 ′ by the clamping part 39 and the operation of the pump 41.

外被材4’に真空断熱パネル1を入れて真空封止する際の二回目の圧力は、真空断熱パネル1を製造する際に、外被材4に芯材2を入れて真空封止する際の一回目の圧力と同等、またはそれ以下にする。このようにすれば、真空断熱パネル1に形成した溝部35の形状が、外被材4’に真空断熱パネル1を入れて真空封止した後も保たれる。   The second pressure when the vacuum insulation panel 1 is put into the jacket material 4 ′ and vacuum-sealed is the vacuum pressure that the core material 2 is put into the jacket material 4 when the vacuum insulation panel 1 is manufactured. The pressure is equal to or less than the first pressure. In this way, the shape of the groove 35 formed in the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 is maintained even after the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 is put in the jacket material 4 ′ and vacuum sealed.

図27は、真空断熱パネル1を外被材4’に入れて真空封止した後の完成状態の真空断熱パネル1’である。外被材4’の内部を減圧することにより、外被材4’の内面は真空断熱パネル1の外面に密着し、真空断熱パネル1’の表面には、溝部35の形状に対応した溝部35’が形成される。比較として、従来の完成状態における真空断熱パネル1’の断面形状を、図28に示す。この場合、一回目と二回目の封止時における内部圧力差により、完成した真空断熱パネル1’の溝部35’の深さが、図27に示すものよりも浅くなっている。   FIG. 27 shows the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 ′ in a completed state after the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 is put in the jacket material 4 ′ and vacuum sealed. By reducing the pressure inside the jacket material 4 ′, the inner surface of the jacket material 4 ′ is brought into close contact with the outer surface of the vacuum heat insulation panel 1, and the groove portion 35 corresponding to the shape of the groove portion 35 is formed on the surface of the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 ′. 'Is formed. As a comparison, FIG. 28 shows a cross-sectional shape of a vacuum heat insulation panel 1 ′ in a conventional completed state. In this case, the depth of the groove 35 ′ of the completed vacuum heat insulation panel 1 ′ is shallower than that shown in FIG. 27 due to the internal pressure difference between the first and second sealing.

以上のように、本実施例の真空断熱パネル1’は、外被材4に芯材2を入れ、所定の圧力で内部を真空封止した真空断熱パネル1の表面に、溝付け加工による溝部35を形成し、この真空断熱パネル1をさらに別な外被材4’に入れ、前記所定の圧力と同等またはそれ以下の圧力で真空封止する構成となっている。   As described above, the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 ′ of the present embodiment has a groove portion formed by grooving on the surface of the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 in which the core material 2 is put in the jacket material 4 and the inside is vacuum-sealed with a predetermined pressure. 35 is formed, and this vacuum heat insulation panel 1 is further put into another outer cover material 4 ′ and vacuum sealed at a pressure equal to or lower than the predetermined pressure.

この場合、外被材4,4’を二重袋構造にして芯材を包むことにより、芯材2を包むことにより、真空断熱パネル1’の表面に溝付けを行なう際に、内側の外被材4に傷が付いてリークが生じても、外側の外被材4’でリークの進行を食い止めることができ、信頼性の向上に寄与する。また、完成した断熱体をぶつけたり擦ったりしても、外側の外被材4’が緩衝物となり、内側の外被材4へのダメージを防ぐ効果がある。したがって、真空断熱パネル1’に溝付けを行なった場合でも、真空断熱パネル1’の内部の真空度が低下せず、良好な断熱性能を維持できる。   In this case, when covering the surface of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 ′ by wrapping the core material 2 by wrapping the core material 2 by wrapping the core material with the outer cover materials 4, 4 ′ having a double bag structure, Even if the workpiece 4 is scratched and leaks, the outer jacket material 4 ′ can stop the leakage and contribute to the improvement of reliability. Further, even if the completed heat insulator is struck or rubbed, the outer jacket material 4 ′ becomes a buffer and has an effect of preventing damage to the inner jacket material 4. Therefore, even when grooving is performed on the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 ', the degree of vacuum inside the vacuum heat insulation panel 1' does not decrease, and good heat insulation performance can be maintained.

また、二回目の真空封止時に、封止圧力を一回目の真空封止時と同等またはそれ以下の圧力にすることで、図28に示すような、一回目と二回目の封止時における内部圧力差により、完成した真空断熱パネル1’の溝部35’の深さが浅くなる問題を解消して、溝部35’の寸法精度を優れたものにすることができる。   Further, at the time of the second vacuum sealing, the sealing pressure is set to a pressure equal to or lower than that at the time of the first vacuum sealing. Due to the internal pressure difference, the problem that the depth of the groove portion 35 ′ of the completed vacuum heat insulation panel 1 ′ becomes shallow can be solved, and the dimensional accuracy of the groove portion 35 ′ can be improved.

図29および図30は、本実施例における断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1’を示している。ここでの真空断熱パネル1’の各構成は、実施例6,7で示したものと共通している。また本実施例では、溝部35,35’を設けていないが、必要に応じて設けても構わない。芯材2は、例えば複数枚積層した無機質繊維からなるシートまたはボードからなり、その芯材2を第1の外被材4で包み、外被材4の内部を減圧して封止した後、さらに第2の外被材4’で包んで、外被材4’の内部を減圧した後に封止した二重袋構造とする。
外被材4,4’は、何れもガスおよび水蒸気の透過を阻害する材料で形成される。
29 and 30 show a vacuum heat insulation panel 1 ′ as a heat insulator in the present embodiment. Each structure of vacuum insulation panel 1 'here is common in what was shown in Example 6,7. In this embodiment, the grooves 35 and 35 'are not provided, but may be provided as necessary. The core material 2 is made of, for example, a sheet or board made of inorganic fibers laminated in a plurality of layers. After the core material 2 is wrapped with the first jacket material 4 and the inside of the jacket material 4 is decompressed and sealed, Furthermore, it is set as the double bag structure sealed after enclosing with 2nd outer covering material 4 'and decompressing the inside of outer covering material 4'.
The jacket materials 4 and 4 ′ are each formed of a material that inhibits the permeation of gas and water vapor.

外被材4は、平面視同形をなす2枚のシート部材4A,4Bを重ね合わせ、シート部材4A,4Bの外周部(端部)をヒートシールして形成されるもので、外被材4の四方周縁には、シート部材4A,4Bを当該ヒートシールで接合した耳部6が形成される。また、芯材2を内部に密封収納した状態で、芯材2を含まない外被材4のみで構成されるヒレ部16が、芯材2の外周端部から外被材4の外周端部にかけて形成される。したがって、ヒレ部16はその外周側に熱溶着部としての耳部6を含んだものとなっている。   The jacket material 4 is formed by superposing two sheet members 4A and 4B having the same shape in plan view and heat-sealing the outer peripheral portions (end portions) of the sheet members 4A and 4B. 4, the ear | edge part 6 which joined sheet | seat member 4A, 4B by the said heat seal is formed. Further, in the state where the core material 2 is hermetically sealed, the fin portion 16 composed only of the jacket material 4 that does not include the core material 2 extends from the outer edge of the core material 2 to the outer edge of the jacket material 4. It is formed over. Therefore, the fin part 16 includes the ear part 6 as a heat welding part on the outer peripheral side thereof.

同様に、外被材4’は、平面視同形をなす2枚のシート部材4A’,4B’を重ね合わせ、シート部材4A’,4B’の外周部(端部)をヒートシールして形成されるもので、外被材4’の四方周縁には、シート部材4A’,4B’を当該ヒートシールで接合した耳部6’が形成される。また、サブの真空断熱パネル1を内部に密封収納した状態で、芯材2を含まない外被材4’のみで構成されるヒレ部16’が、芯材2の外周端部から外被材4’の外周端部にかけて形成される。したがって、ヒレ部16’はその外周側に熱溶着部としての耳部6’を含んだものとなっている。   Similarly, the covering material 4 ′ is formed by superposing two sheet members 4A ′ and 4B ′ having the same shape in plan view and heat-sealing the outer peripheral portions (end portions) of the sheet members 4A ′ and 4B ′. Thus, an ear portion 6 ′ in which the sheet members 4A ′ and 4B ′ are joined by the heat seal is formed on the four-side periphery of the jacket material 4 ′. In addition, the fin portion 16 ′ composed only of the jacket material 4 ′ not including the core material 2 in a state in which the sub vacuum heat insulating panel 1 is hermetically housed in the interior is formed from the outer peripheral end portion of the core material 2. It is formed over the outer peripheral edge of 4 ′. Accordingly, the fin portion 16 'includes an ear portion 6' as a heat welding portion on the outer peripheral side thereof.

本実施例では、サブの真空断熱パネル1を第2の外被材4’に挿入しやすくし、且つ第1の外被材4の角部が第2の外被材4’に当たることによるダメージを減らすために、第1の外被材4の外寸L1よりも、前記第2の外被材4’の内寸L2が所定の寸法である1mm以上大きく形成される。   In this embodiment, it is easy to insert the sub vacuum insulation panel 1 into the second outer cover material 4 ′, and damage caused by the corners of the first outer cover material 4 hitting the second outer cover material 4 ′. Therefore, the inner dimension L2 of the second outer covering material 4 ′ is formed to be larger than the outer dimension L1 of the first outer covering material 4 by 1 mm or more, which is a predetermined dimension.

また、図30に示すように、外被材4’にサブの真空断熱パネル1を入れて真空封止した後は、外被材4の耳部6を含むヒレ部16と、外被材4’の耳部6’を含むヒレ部16’とを、真空断熱パネル1’の外面に沿って、別々にではなく同時に折り曲げ(耳折り)する。さらに、折り曲げたヒレ部16,16’が元の状態に戻らないように、その耳折りした部分の端部表面と外被材4’の表面との間に跨って、図示しない粘着テープを貼り付ける。この耳折りとテープ貼りの作業は、外被材4’にサブの真空断熱パネル1を入れて真空封止した後に1回だけ行なえばよく、従来のように、ヒレ部16,16’をそれぞれ耳折りしてテープ貼りする場合よりも、1回分の封止後の作業を省略できる。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 30, after the sub vacuum insulation panel 1 is placed in the jacket material 4 ′ and vacuum sealed, the fin portion 16 including the ear portion 6 of the jacket material 4, and the jacket material 4. The fin portion 16 'including the' ear portion 6 'is folded (ear-folded) simultaneously, not separately, along the outer surface of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1'. Further, an adhesive tape (not shown) is pasted between the end surface of the folded portion and the surface of the covering material 4 ′ so that the bent fin portions 16, 16 ′ do not return to the original state. wear. This ear-folding and tape application work needs to be performed only once after the sub-vacuum insulation panel 1 is put in the jacket material 4 ′ and vacuum-sealed. The work after sealing for one time can be omitted as compared with the case where the tape is folded and taped.

こうして、内側の外被材4よりも大きいサイズを有する外側の外被材4’でサブの真空断熱パネル1を包み、外被材4’の内部を真空封止して、最後に内側の外被材4と外側の外被材4’のヒレ部16,16’を同時に耳折りすることで、作業効率を格段に上げることができる。また、耳折りされたヒレ部16,16’に、粘着テープによるテープ貼りを行なうことで、ヒレ部16,16’を真空断熱パネル1’の外面側に重ねた状態で固定することができる。   In this way, the outer vacuum jacket panel 1 is wrapped with the outer jacket material 4 ′ having a size larger than the inner jacket material 4, the inside of the jacket material 4 ′ is vacuum-sealed, and finally the outer jacket material 4 ′ is sealed. By simultaneously folding the fins 16 and 16 ′ of the workpiece 4 and the outer jacket material 4 ′, the working efficiency can be significantly increased. Moreover, the fin parts 16 and 16 ′ can be fixed in a state where the fin parts 16 and 16 ′ are overlapped on the outer surface side of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 ′ by applying tape to the fin parts 16 and 16 ′ which are folded at the ears.

以上のように、本実施例における断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1’は、複数枚積層した無機質繊維からなるシートまたはボードからなる芯材2を、ガスおよび水蒸気の透過を阻害する第1の外被材4で包み、外被材4の内部を減圧して封止したサブの真空断熱パネル1を得た後、さらに別な第2の外被材4’で真空断熱パネル1を包み、外被材4’の内部を減圧した後に封止した構成を有している。   As described above, the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 ′ as a heat insulator in the present embodiment is the first outside that inhibits the permeation of gas and water vapor from the core material 2 made of a sheet or board made of inorganic fibers laminated in a plurality of layers. After obtaining the sub vacuum insulation panel 1 wrapped with the covering material 4 and depressurizing and sealing the inside of the covering material 4, the vacuum insulation panel 1 is wrapped with another second covering material 4 ′. The inside of the workpiece 4 ′ is sealed after being depressurized.

この場合、外被材を二重構造にして芯材を包むことにより、内側の第1の外被材に傷が付いてリークが生じても、外側の第2の外被材でリークの進行を食い止めることができ、信頼性の向上に寄与する。また、完成した断熱体をぶつけたり擦ったりしても、外側の第2の外被材が緩衝物となり、第1の外被材へのダメージを防ぐ効果がある。したがって、内部の真空度が低下せず、良好な断熱性能を維持できる。   In this case, by enveloping the core material with the outer cover material having a double structure, even if the inner first outer cover material is scratched and a leak occurs, the leak progresses in the outer second outer cover material. This helps to improve reliability. Further, even if the completed heat insulator is hit or rubbed, the second outer jacket material on the outer side becomes a buffer and has an effect of preventing damage to the first jacket material. Therefore, the degree of internal vacuum does not decrease and good heat insulation performance can be maintained.

また、本実施例の真空断熱パネル1’は、第1の外被材4の外寸L1よりも、第2の外被材4’の内寸L2を1mm以上大きく形成している。このように、第1の外被材4の外寸L1よりも第2の外被材4’の内寸L2を大きくすることで、第2の外被材4’への挿入作業が容易になり、また、第1の外被材4の角部が第2の外被材4’に当たることによるダメージも低減できる。   Further, in the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 ′ of the present embodiment, the inner dimension L <b> 2 of the second outer covering material 4 ′ is larger than the outer dimension L <b> 1 of the first outer covering material 4 by 1 mm or more. As described above, by making the inner dimension L2 of the second outer covering material 4 ′ larger than the outer dimension L1 of the first outer covering material 4, the insertion work into the second outer covering material 4 ′ can be easily performed. In addition, damage caused by the corners of the first jacket material 4 hitting the second jacket material 4 ′ can be reduced.

また、本実施例の真空断熱パネル1’は、第1の外被材4のヒレ部16と第2の外被材4のヒレ部16’とを同時に折り返して、図示しないテープ(粘着テープ)を貼着して構成される。   In addition, the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 ′ of the present embodiment is a tape (adhesive tape) (not shown) by simultaneously folding the fin portion 16 of the first jacket material 4 and the fin portion 16 ′ of the second jacket material 4. It is composed by sticking.

この場合、第1の外被材4の内部を真空封止した後に、第1の外被材4のヒレ部16を折り返してテープを貼着すると、第2の外被材4’の内部を真空封止した後に、ヒレ部16’を折り返してテープを貼着する同様の作業が必要になって製造効率が低下するが、第1の外被材4のヒレ部16と第2の外被材4’のヒレ部16’を同時に折り返してテープを貼着することで、1回分の封止後の作業を省くことができ、製造効率を上げることが可能になる。   In this case, after the inside of the first covering material 4 is vacuum-sealed, the fin portion 16 of the first covering material 4 is folded and a tape is attached, so that the inside of the second covering material 4 ′ After vacuum sealing, the same operation of folding the fin portion 16 ′ and attaching the tape is required, and the manufacturing efficiency is reduced. However, the fin portion 16 and the second outer cover of the first outer cover material 4 are reduced. By simultaneously folding the fin portion 16 ′ of the material 4 ′ and sticking the tape, it is possible to omit the work after sealing for one time and increase the production efficiency.

図31〜図33は、本実施例における断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1を示している。これらの各図に共通して、真空断熱パネル1は前述した各実施例のものと共通しており、芯材2を外被材4で包み、外被材4の内部を真空封止して構成される。これらの各図には示していないが、外被材4はバリア性を有するラミネート袋として、平面視同形をなす2枚のシート部材を重ね合わせ、シート部材の外周部(端部)をヒートシールして形成されるもので、外被材4の四方周縁には、シート部材を当該ヒートシールで接合した余剰部分としての耳部6が形成される。この耳部6は、真空断熱パネル1としては機能しない余白となる。   FIGS. 31-33 has shown the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 as a heat insulating body in a present Example. In common with each of these drawings, the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 is common to those of the above-described embodiments, in which the core material 2 is wrapped with the outer covering material 4 and the inside of the outer covering material 4 is vacuum-sealed. Composed. Although not shown in each of these drawings, the outer cover material 4 is a laminated bag having a barrier property, and two sheet members having the same shape in plan view are overlapped, and the outer peripheral portion (end portion) of the sheet member is heated. It is formed by sealing, and an ear portion 6 is formed on the outer periphery of the outer covering material 4 as an excessive portion where the sheet member is joined by the heat seal. This ear | edge part 6 becomes a blank which does not function as the vacuum heat insulation panel 1. FIG.

本実施例では、図31に示すように、外被材4の内部に芯材2を入れて真空封止した後に、外被材4の外周部となる耳部6を包むようにカバー45を被せる。カバー45は、外被材4と同様に可撓性を有し、好ましくは外被材4よりも熱伝導性の低い樹脂製シートなどの部材からなる。図32に示すように、カバー45を耳部6に被せた後、カバー45と耳部6は外被材4の表面に沿うように一体として折り返される(図32に示す矢印が折り曲げ方向)。   In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 31, the core material 2 is placed inside the jacket material 4 and vacuum-sealed, and then the cover 45 is covered so as to wrap the ear portion 6 that is the outer peripheral portion of the jacket material 4. . The cover 45 is made of a member such as a resin sheet having flexibility similar to the jacket material 4 and preferably having a lower thermal conductivity than the jacket material 4. As shown in FIG. 32, after the cover 45 is put on the ear portion 6, the cover 45 and the ear portion 6 are folded back integrally along the surface of the outer covering material 4 (the arrow shown in FIG. 32 is the folding direction).

図33は、折返し後の完成状態における真空断熱パネル1を示している。一方、図34は、カバー45を装着せずに耳部6を折り返した従来の真空断熱パネル1である。従来は、折り返された外周部としての耳部6が、外被材4の表面に直接接してしまうため、この状態で冷蔵庫などの製品に真空断熱パネル1を取付けると、図34の矢印で示すように、外被体4は耳部6から表面伝いに反対面にまで熱が伝導するいわゆるヒートブリッジを生じ、真空断熱パネル1全体としての断熱性能が悪化する。   FIG. 33 shows the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 in a completed state after folding. On the other hand, FIG. 34 shows a conventional vacuum heat insulation panel 1 in which the ear portion 6 is folded without attaching the cover 45. Conventionally, since the folded ear portion 6 as the outer peripheral portion is in direct contact with the surface of the jacket material 4, when the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 is attached to a product such as a refrigerator in this state, it is indicated by an arrow in FIG. As described above, the outer cover 4 generates a so-called heat bridge that conducts heat from the ear portion 6 to the opposite surface along the surface, and the heat insulation performance of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 as a whole is deteriorated.

それに対して、図33に示す真空断熱パネル1では、耳部6を折り返すと、耳部6よりも熱伝導性の悪いカバー45が外被材4の表面に直接接するため、外被材4の表面の熱は断熱材としてのカバー45によって遮断され、反対面に伝導することはない。したがって、真空断熱パネル1全体としての断熱性能の悪化を減らす効果がある。   On the other hand, in the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 shown in FIG. 33, when the ear portion 6 is folded, the cover 45 having a lower thermal conductivity than the ear portion 6 is in direct contact with the surface of the outer jacket material 4. The heat on the surface is blocked by the cover 45 as a heat insulating material, and is not conducted to the opposite surface. Therefore, there exists an effect which reduces the deterioration of the heat insulation performance as the vacuum insulation panel 1 whole.

以上のように、本実施例における断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1は、芯材2を袋状の外被材4に包んで構成され、外被材4の外周部である耳部6を折り曲げて形成され、特に耳部6を包むカバー45を具備しており、外被材4の耳部6とカバー45を、耳部6の基端で一体に折り曲げ形成している。   As described above, the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 as a heat insulator in the present embodiment is configured by wrapping the core material 2 in the bag-like outer covering material 4 and bends the ear portion 6 which is the outer peripheral portion of the outer covering material 4. In particular, a cover 45 that wraps around the ear portion 6 is provided, and the ear portion 6 and the cover 45 of the jacket material 4 are integrally bent at the proximal end of the ear portion 6.

この場合、外被材4の余白となる外周部としての耳部6を折り返しても、耳部6に装着したカバー45が断熱材となって、外被材4の表面の熱伝導を低減させる。したがって、外被材4の表面のヒートブリッジを低減させて、真空断熱パネル1全体としての断熱性能を悪化させない効果を得ることができる。   In this case, even if the ear portion 6 as the outer peripheral portion that becomes the margin of the jacket material 4 is folded back, the cover 45 attached to the ear portion 6 serves as a heat insulating material to reduce the heat conduction on the surface of the jacket material 4. . Therefore, the effect of not deteriorating the heat insulation performance of the vacuum insulation panel 1 as a whole can be obtained by reducing the heat bridge on the surface of the jacket material 4.

なお、本実施例で提示したカバー45は、上述した各実施例の中の二重の外被材4,4’を備えた真空断熱パネル1’にも適用できる。この場合は、外側の外被材4’の耳部6’にカバー45を装着すれば、やはり外被材4’の表面の熱伝導を低減させて、真空断熱パネル1’全体としての断熱性能を悪化させないようにすることができる。   The cover 45 presented in the present embodiment can also be applied to the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 ′ provided with the double jacket material 4, 4 ′ in each embodiment described above. In this case, if the cover 45 is attached to the ear portion 6 ′ of the outer covering material 4 ′, the heat conduction on the surface of the covering material 4 ′ is also reduced, and the heat insulating performance of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 ′ as a whole. Can be made not to worsen.

図35〜図38は、本実施例における断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1の製造工程を順に示している。これらの各図に共通して、芯材2は、例えば略板状である繊維集合体を複数枚積層した構造をなし、この芯材2に埋設する吸着剤3をガスバリア性のある袋状の外被材4で封止し、外被材4の内部を真空にして真空断熱パネル1を得る。この真空断熱パネル1は、外被材4の内部を真空封止した後に、形状を整え、冷蔵庫などへの製品の取付け性を向上させるために、例えば実施例8で説明したような、外被材4を芯材2の端面に沿って折る「耳折り」の必要がある。本実施例では、この「耳折り」の作業を低減できる方法を提案する。   FIGS. 35-38 has shown in order the manufacturing process of the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 as a heat insulating body in a present Example. In common with these drawings, the core material 2 has a structure in which, for example, a plurality of substantially plate-like fiber assemblies are laminated, and the adsorbent 3 embedded in the core material 2 is formed in a bag-like shape having a gas barrier property. The outer cover material 4 is sealed, and the inside of the outer cover material 4 is evacuated to obtain the vacuum heat insulating panel 1. In order to improve the shape of the vacuum insulation panel 1 after the inside of the jacket material 4 is vacuum-sealed and to improve the attachment of the product to a refrigerator or the like, the jacket as described in Example 8 is used. There is a need for “ear folding” in which the material 4 is folded along the end surface of the core material 2. The present embodiment proposes a method that can reduce this “ear folding” operation.

比較のために、従来の「耳折り」作業の例を、図39〜図42に従って説明する。従来は先ず、図39に示すように三方を予め封止してある耳部6を形成した外被材4の中に、平面視略矩形状の芯材2を残りの一方の開口部36から挿入する。次に、図40に示すように、外被材4の中央に位置するように芯材2を配置し、外被材4の内部を真空にしながら外被材4の開口部36を封止し、内部を真空状態にした真空断熱パネル1を得る。この場合、図41に示すように、外被材4の四辺が封止されて耳部6が形成され、また芯材2が外被材4の中央に配置されることで、芯材2の四辺において、芯材2の端面よりも外被材4の端面が飛び出したヒレ部16が形成される。その後、図42に示すように、芯材2の四辺に対して、外被材4の飛び出した部分であるヒレ部16を、芯材2の端面に沿って折り曲げる「耳折り」を行ない、次いで真空断熱パネル1の平面部となる外被材4の表面と、折り返された外被材4の端面とを、粘着テープ48で止めるテープ貼りを行なう。   For comparison, an example of a conventional “ear folding” operation will be described with reference to FIGS. Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 39, first, the core material 2 having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view is placed from the remaining one opening 36 in the outer cover material 4 in which the ear portion 6 is sealed in three directions. insert. Next, as shown in FIG. 40, the core material 2 is disposed so as to be positioned at the center of the jacket material 4, and the opening 36 of the jacket material 4 is sealed while evacuating the inside of the jacket material 4. Then, the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 whose inside is evacuated is obtained. In this case, as shown in FIG. 41, the four sides of the jacket material 4 are sealed to form the ear portion 6, and the core material 2 is arranged at the center of the jacket material 4, so that the core material 2 In the four sides, a fin portion 16 is formed in which the end surface of the jacket material 4 protrudes from the end surface of the core material 2. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 42, “ear folds” are performed on the four sides of the core material 2 to fold the fin portions 16, which are protruding portions of the jacket material 4, along the end surface of the core material 2. Tape attachment is performed in which the surface of the outer cover material 4 serving as a flat portion of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 and the end surface of the folded outer cover material 4 are stopped with an adhesive tape 48.

上述した「耳折り」の作業時には、外被材4を折り曲げる毎に応力が加わるため、外被材4にダメージを与えて、特に芯材2の角部(コーナー部)に接する箇所でクラックを発生させてしまう。また、芯材2の四辺に対して「耳折り」を行なわなければならず、外被材4へダメージを与える機会が多く、その後のテープ貼りを含めて、作業時間も余計にかかる。   During the above-described “ear folding” operation, stress is applied every time the outer cover material 4 is bent. Therefore, the outer cover material 4 is damaged, and cracks are particularly generated at the portions in contact with the corners (corner portions) of the core material 2. It will be generated. In addition, “ear folding” must be performed on the four sides of the core material 2, and there are many opportunities to damage the jacket material 4, and the work time including the subsequent tape application is extra.

その対策として、本実施例では、先ず図35に示すように、ガスバリア性のあるシート体を折り曲げて、その一辺を折り曲げ部49として形成すると共に、折り曲げ部49に直交する別な一辺に、封止部となる耳部6を形成して、耳部6を一箇所のみで構成した対をなすシート部材4A,4Bからなる外被材4を使用し、図36に示すように、外被材4の中央にではなく、折り曲げ部49と耳部6とにより形成される外被材4のコーナー部50に、芯材2の角部を寄せるようにして、この芯材2を配置する。   As a countermeasure, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 35, first, a sheet body having a gas barrier property is bent to form one side as a bent portion 49 and sealed to another side orthogonal to the bent portion 49. 36. As shown in FIG. 36, an outer cover material 4 comprising a pair of sheet members 4A and 4B, each of which forms an ear portion 6 serving as a stop portion, and which forms a pair of the ear portion 6 at a single location, is used. The core material 2 is arranged so that the corner of the core material 2 is brought close to the corner portion 50 of the jacket material 4 formed by the bent portion 49 and the ear portion 6 instead of at the center of the core 4.

次に、外被材4の開口している2辺のうちの一辺を封止して耳部6を形成し、残っている開口部から袋状の外被材4の内部を真空状態にまで減圧して、その開口部を封止する。このときの状態を示したのが図37であり、耳部6は折り曲げ部49を除く外被材4の三辺に形成されると共に、外被材4のコーナー部50に芯材2の角部を寄せるようにして芯材2が配置されている関係で、芯材2の端面から外被材4の飛び出している端面は二辺となり、その二辺にそれぞれヒレ部16が形成される。   Next, one of the two sides of the outer cover material 4 that is open is sealed to form the ear portion 6, and the inside of the bag-shaped outer cover material 4 is vacuumed from the remaining opening. The opening is sealed under reduced pressure. FIG. 37 shows the state at this time, and the ear portion 6 is formed on three sides of the jacket material 4 excluding the bent portion 49, and the corner portion 50 of the jacket material 4 has corners of the core material 2. Since the core material 2 is arranged so as to be close to each other, the end surface from which the outer cover material 4 protrudes from the end surface of the core material 2 has two sides, and a fin portion 16 is formed on each of the two sides.

その後、図38に示すように、芯材2の二辺に対して、外被材4の飛び出した部分であるヒレ部16を、芯材2の端面に沿って折り曲げる「耳折り」を行ない、次いで真空断熱パネル1の平面部となる外被材4の表面と、折り返された外被材4の端面とを、粘着テープ48で止めるテープ貼りを行なう。このように本実施例では、外被材4の折り曲げ回数の少ない構造にして、「耳折り」の作業を2回で済ますことができるので、外被材4の折り曲げによるダメージ機会を減らすことができ、芯材2の角部に接する箇所でのクラックなどを低減できる。また、外被材4の折り曲げ回数が減ることにより、折り曲げに要する時間が減少し、その後のテープ貼りを含めて、工数削減を図ることが可能になる。   Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 38, with respect to the two sides of the core member 2, the “ear fold” is performed to bend the fin portion 16, which is a protruding portion of the outer cover member 4, along the end surface of the core member 2. Next, the surface of the outer cover material 4 to be a flat portion of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 and the end surface of the folded outer cover material 4 are taped to stop with an adhesive tape 48. As described above, in this embodiment, the structure of the outer cover material 4 is reduced in the number of times of folding, and the “ear folding” operation can be completed only twice, so that the chance of damage due to the bending of the outer cover material 4 can be reduced. It is possible to reduce cracks and the like at locations in contact with the corners of the core material 2. Further, since the number of times of folding the jacket material 4 is reduced, the time required for the bending is reduced, and the number of man-hours can be reduced including subsequent tape application.

以上のように本実施例では、略板状の繊維集合体を積層した構造である芯材2と、芯材2の埋設部に設置され、包材に入れたゲッタ剤としての吸収剤3とを、ガスバリア性を有する外被材4で封止し、外被材4の内部を真空にしてなる断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1において、外被材4の内部を真空封止した後に、少なくとも芯材2の一辺以上を、芯材2から外被材4に顕著な飛び出しがないように端面を揃えて配設した構成となっている。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the core material 2 having a structure in which substantially plate-like fiber assemblies are laminated, and the absorbent 3 as a getter agent that is installed in the embedded portion of the core material 2 and placed in the packaging material, Is sealed with a jacket material 4 having gas barrier properties, and in the vacuum thermal insulation panel 1 as a thermal insulator in which the inside of the jacket material 4 is evacuated, after the inside of the jacket material 4 is vacuum-sealed, at least One or more sides of the core material 2 are arranged with the end faces aligned so that there is no remarkable protrusion from the core material 2 to the jacket material 4.

この場合、少なくとも芯材2の端面と外被材4の端面を揃えた部位では、外被材4を芯材2の端面に沿って折る耳折り部が形成されないため、冷蔵庫などへの製品の取付け性を向上させることができると共に、製品としての見栄えを良くすることができる。   In this case, since at least the end surface of the core material 2 and the end surface of the jacket material 4 are aligned, the ear folds that fold the jacket material 4 along the end surface of the core material 2 are not formed. The mounting property can be improved and the appearance as a product can be improved.

また、本実施例では、芯材2と外被材4の端面を揃えるために、少なくともシート状の外被材4の一辺に、折り曲げ部49を形成している。   In the present embodiment, a bent portion 49 is formed at least on one side of the sheet-like outer covering material 4 in order to align the end surfaces of the core material 2 and the outer covering material 4.

この場合、折り曲げ部49を形成した外被材4の一辺は、耳折り部が形成されないため、冷蔵庫などへの製品の取付け性を向上させることができると共に、製品としての見栄えを良くすることができる。   In this case, since one side of the jacket material 4 in which the bent portion 49 is formed is not formed with an ear fold portion, the attachment of the product to a refrigerator or the like can be improved, and the appearance as a product can be improved. it can.

また、本実施例の外被材4は、少なくとも一辺以上が封止されていない構造を有している。この場合、外被材4の封止されていない折り曲げ部49に芯材2の端面4を揃えることで、外被材4の折り曲げ回数の少ない構造にすることができ、外被材4の折り曲げによるダメージ機会を減らして、芯材2の角部に接する箇所でのクラックなどを低減できる。   Moreover, the jacket material 4 of the present embodiment has a structure in which at least one side is not sealed. In this case, by aligning the end surface 4 of the core material 2 with the unsealed bent portion 49 of the jacket material 4, the structure of the jacket material 4 can be reduced, and the jacket material 4 can be bent. It is possible to reduce the chances of damage caused by the above, and to reduce cracks and the like at the portions in contact with the corners of the core material 2.

図43〜図45は、本実施例における断熱体としての真空断熱パネル51の構成を示している。図43には、図44や図45に示す真空断熱パネル51を構成する真空断熱部52を示しているが、これは実際には上記実施例で示した真空断熱パネル1と同じものである。すなわち、抄紙タイプのグラスウールシートであるシート体2A,2B,2Cを複数枚積層して芯材2とし、この芯材2の埋設部28に吸着剤3を配置して、吸着剤3を含む芯材2を外被材4で包み、外被材4の内部を減圧しした後に、外被材4の開口部を封止することで、芯材2の全周囲を包んで密閉した真空断熱部52が得られる。なお、芯材2となる抄紙タイプのグラスウールシートは、シート状に製造されるため、積層する場合には任意の寸法にカットしたシート体2A,2B,2Cを順次積み重ねて、既定の枚数にして外被材4に挿入される。   43 to 45 show the configuration of the vacuum heat insulation panel 51 as a heat insulator in the present embodiment. FIG. 43 shows the vacuum heat insulating portion 52 that constitutes the vacuum heat insulating panel 51 shown in FIGS. 44 and 45. This is actually the same as the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 shown in the above embodiment. That is, a plurality of sheet bodies 2A, 2B, and 2C, which are papermaking type glass wool sheets, are laminated to form the core material 2, and the adsorbent 3 is disposed in the embedded portion 28 of the core material 2 so that the core including the adsorbent 3 is disposed. After the material 2 is wrapped with the outer covering material 4 and the inside of the outer covering material 4 is decompressed, the opening of the outer covering material 4 is sealed, so that the vacuum insulation portion is sealed and wrapped around the entire periphery of the core material 2 52 is obtained. Since the papermaking type glass wool sheet used as the core material 2 is manufactured in a sheet shape, when laminating, sheet bodies 2A, 2B, and 2C cut into arbitrary dimensions are sequentially stacked to obtain a predetermined number. It is inserted into the jacket material 4.

図44に示す真空断熱パネル51は、平面視同形をなす2枚のシート部材4A,4Bを重ね合わせた外被材4の適所にシール部54を形成して、複数の空間55を区画形成し、この空間55に図43で示した吸着剤(図示せず)を含む芯材2をそれぞれ挿入して、各空間55を減圧封止する。その結果、複数の真空断熱部52を直列に連結した真空断熱パネル51を得ることができる。   A vacuum heat insulation panel 51 shown in FIG. 44 forms a plurality of spaces 55 by forming a seal portion 54 at an appropriate position on the outer cover material 4 in which two sheet members 4A and 4B having the same shape in plan view are overlapped. Then, the core material 2 including the adsorbent (not shown) shown in FIG. 43 is inserted into each space 55, and each space 55 is sealed under reduced pressure. As a result, the vacuum heat insulation panel 51 which connected the some vacuum heat insulation part 52 in series can be obtained.

また、別な図45に示す真空断熱パネル51は、平面視同形をなす3枚のシート部材4A,4B,4Cを重ね合わせ、その端部にシール部56を形成した外被材4により、シート部材4A,4Bの間と、シート部材4B,4Cの間にそれぞれ空間55を区画形成し、この空間55に図43で示した吸着剤(図示せず)を含む芯材2をそれぞれ挿入して、各空間55を減圧封止する。その結果、複数の真空断熱部52を並列に連結した真空断熱パネル51を得ることができる。   Also, another vacuum heat insulation panel 51 shown in FIG. 45 is formed by covering the three sheet members 4A, 4B, 4C having the same shape in plan view, and forming the seal portion 56 at the end portion thereof. A space 55 is defined between the sheet members 4A and 4B and between the sheet members 4B and 4C, and the core material 2 including the adsorbent (not shown) shown in FIG. Then, each space 55 is sealed under reduced pressure. As a result, the vacuum heat insulation panel 51 which connected the some vacuum heat insulation part 52 in parallel can be obtained.

これらの各図に示す真空断熱パネル51は、外被材4により複数の独立した空間55をそれぞれ形成して、外被材4内を多室化し、各空間55に芯材2を挿入して真空封止していることから、仮に真空断熱パネル51の一部に不良が発生して、空間55の一部の真空度が失われたとしても、残りの空間55の真空度を維持することができる。したがって、真空断熱パネル51全体として、断熱機能を保持することが可能になる。   The vacuum heat insulation panel 51 shown in each of these figures forms a plurality of independent spaces 55 by the jacket material 4, multi-chambers the inside of the jacket material 4, and inserts the core material 2 into each space 55. Since the vacuum sealing is performed, even if a defect occurs in a part of the vacuum heat insulation panel 51 and the vacuum degree of a part of the space 55 is lost, the vacuum degree of the remaining space 55 is maintained. Can do. Therefore, the vacuum insulation panel 51 as a whole can retain the insulation function.

以上のように、本実施例における真空断熱パネル51は、例えば図44や図45に示すように、一組の外被材4と複数組の芯材2で構成され、外被材4により形成される複数の空間55内に、芯材2を個々に入れて、それぞれの芯材2が独立して減圧保持されるようになっている。   As described above, the vacuum heat insulation panel 51 in the present embodiment is composed of a set of outer cover materials 4 and a plurality of sets of core members 2 as shown in FIGS. The core members 2 are individually placed in the plurality of spaces 55, and each of the core members 2 is independently held under reduced pressure.

従来は一組の外被材に一組の芯材を使用して、真空断熱パネルを形成していたが、これでは外被材のどこか一箇所でもピンホールなどの真空を破壊する不良が発生すると、真空断熱パネル全体としての機能が失われる。   In the past, a set of core materials was used for a set of jacket materials to form a vacuum heat insulation panel, but this caused defects such as pinholes that could break vacuum anywhere in the jacket material. When generated, the function of the entire vacuum insulation panel is lost.

これに対して本実施例の真空断熱パネル51は、外被材4により形成される複数の空間55内に、芯材2を個々に入れて、それぞれの芯材2が独立して減圧保持される構成となっているので、真空断熱パネル51の一部に不良が発生しても、真空断熱パネル51全体として、断熱機能を保持することが可能になる。   On the other hand, in the vacuum heat insulation panel 51 of the present embodiment, the core material 2 is individually placed in the plurality of spaces 55 formed by the jacket material 4, and each core material 2 is independently held under reduced pressure. Therefore, even if a defect occurs in a part of the vacuum heat insulation panel 51, the heat insulation function can be maintained as a whole of the vacuum heat insulation panel 51.

図46は、本実施例における断熱体としての真空断熱パネル1の構成を示している。真空断熱パネル1は上述したように、複数枚積層した無機質繊維からなる薄肉のグラスウールシートを芯材2とし、ガスおよび水蒸気の透過を阻害する外被材4で芯材2を包み、外被材4の内部を真空封止することで得られる。   FIG. 46 shows a configuration of the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 as a heat insulator in the present embodiment. As described above, the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 uses a thin glass wool sheet made of inorganic fibers stacked in a plurality of layers as a core material 2 and wraps the core material 2 with a jacket material 4 that inhibits the permeation of gas and water vapor. It is obtained by vacuum-sealing the inside of 4.

外被材4は、平面視同形をなす2枚のシート部材4A,4Bを重ね合わせ、シート部材4A,4Bの外周部(端部)をヒートシールして形成されるもので、芯材2を内部に密封収納した状態で、芯材2を含まない外被材4のみで構成されるヒレ部16が、芯材2の外周端部から外被材4の外周端部にかけて形成される。特に本実施例では、芯材2を外被材4で包んでヒレ部16を折り返した後、外被材4の内部を減圧した状態で、実施例7で示した上下ヒーターによるシール装置40を用いて、シート部材4A,4Bを熱溶着させたシール部58を、折り返したヒレ部16の上下2か所に形成する。このシール部58は、前述の耳部6,6’に相当する。   The jacket material 4 is formed by superposing two sheet members 4A and 4B having the same shape in plan view and heat-sealing the outer peripheral portions (end portions) of the sheet members 4A and 4B. In a state in which the core material 2 is hermetically sealed, a fin portion 16 composed only of the outer cover material 4 not including the core material 2 is formed from the outer peripheral end portion of the core material 2 to the outer peripheral end portion of the outer cover material 4. In particular, in this embodiment, after the core material 2 is wrapped with the jacket material 4 and the fin portion 16 is folded back, the sealing device 40 using the upper and lower heaters shown in the seventh embodiment is used in a state where the inside of the jacket material 4 is decompressed. Using, the seal part 58 to which the sheet members 4 </ b> A and 4 </ b> B are thermally welded is formed at two places above and below the folded fin part 16. The seal portion 58 corresponds to the above-described ear portions 6 and 6 '.

比較として、従来の真空断熱パネル1の要部構成を図47に示す。従来は、外被材4で芯材2を包み、外被材4の内部を強制的に減圧した後、外被材の開口部を封止して、全周囲を密閉した状態に保持した真空断熱パネル1を製造していた。この場合、外被材4のヒレ部16は折り返さずに、そのままシール装置40でシールされる。つまり、外被材4の開口部におけるシール部58は一箇所のみであり、シール部58からの阻害ガス侵入による長期信頼性の低下が起こる。   As a comparison, FIG. 47 shows a main configuration of a conventional vacuum heat insulation panel 1. Conventionally, after the core material 2 is wrapped with the jacket material 4 and the inside of the jacket material 4 is forcibly decompressed, the opening of the jacket material is sealed, and the entire periphery is kept sealed. The heat insulation panel 1 was manufactured. In this case, the fin portion 16 of the outer cover material 4 is sealed by the sealing device 40 without being folded back. That is, there is only one seal portion 58 in the opening of the jacket material 4, and long-term reliability is reduced due to intrusion of the inhibitor gas from the seal portion 58.

これに対して、本実施例の真空断熱パネル1は、複数枚積層した無機質繊維からなるシートまたはボードを芯材2とし、ガスおよび水蒸気の透過を阻害する外被材4で芯材2を包み、外被材4のヒレ部16を折り返した後に、外被材4の内部を減圧し、最後にヒレ部16に上下合わせて二箇所以上のシール部58を設けて、外被材4の端部をシールする構成となっている。   On the other hand, the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 of the present embodiment uses a sheet or board made of a plurality of laminated inorganic fibers as a core material 2 and wraps the core material 2 with a jacket material 4 that inhibits the permeation of gas and water vapor. After folding the fin portion 16 of the jacket material 4, the inside of the jacket material 4 is depressurized, and finally, two or more seal portions 58 are provided vertically on the fin portion 16, so that the end of the jacket material 4 is It is the structure which seals a part.

この場合、外被材4のヒレ部16を折り返して、ヒレ部16の上下二箇所以上にシール部58を設けることで、従来に比べてシール部58からの阻害ガスを侵入しにくくして、優れた長期信頼性を有する真空断熱パネル1を提供することが可能になる。   In this case, by folding back the fin portion 16 of the jacket material 4 and providing the seal portion 58 at two or more places above and below the fin portion 16, it is less likely to enter the inhibitory gas from the seal portion 58 than in the past, It becomes possible to provide the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 which has the outstanding long-term reliability.

図48は、本実施例における真空断熱パネル1の完成状態を示している。同図において、真空断熱パネル1は、繊維状のグラスウールシートを積層した断熱材からなる芯材2と、積層シート状のフィルムで袋状に封止された水分の吸着剤3とを、フィルム状の外被材4に収納して内部を真空維持したものである。吸着剤3は、例えば酸化カルシウム,シリカゲル,ゼオライトなどの水分吸着性能を有する無機物からなる。また外被材4は、ガスバリア性を有し、芯材2及び吸着剤3を収納して内部を真空維持できれば、どのような材料でも構わず、例えばアルミニウムなどの金属を表面に蒸着したプラスチックフィルムなどの積層袋が用いられる。61は、真空断熱パネル1の表面に形成された凹部であって、これは前述の溝部35に相当する。   FIG. 48 shows a completed state of the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 in the present embodiment. In the figure, a vacuum heat insulating panel 1 includes a core material 2 made of a heat insulating material in which fibrous glass wool sheets are laminated, and a moisture adsorbent 3 sealed in a bag shape with a laminated sheet-like film. This is housed in the outer cover material 4 and the inside is kept in vacuum. The adsorbent 3 is made of an inorganic material having water adsorption performance such as calcium oxide, silica gel, and zeolite. The jacket material 4 may be any material as long as it has a gas barrier property and can accommodate the core material 2 and the adsorbent 3 and maintain the inside of the chamber in a vacuum. For example, a plastic film in which a metal such as aluminum is deposited on the surface is used. A laminated bag such as is used. Reference numeral 61 denotes a recess formed on the surface of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1, which corresponds to the groove 35 described above.

次に、上記真空断熱パネル1の製造工程について、図49~図52を参照しながら詳しく説明する。   Next, the manufacturing process of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

図49は、芯材2を外被材4に収容して真空封止する前の芯材2の斜視図である。本実施例の芯材2は、複数の芯部2A,2B,2Cを組み合わせて構成される。それぞれの芯部2A,2B,2Cは、型や刃物(図示せず)を使用して、芯材2の母材を所定寸法にすることで得る。その際、凹部61を形成する部分は、芯材2の底面をなす平板状の芯部2Aの上面に間引いて配置された複数の芯部2B,2Cを使用して得る。芯部2B,2Cは動かないように、芯部2Aに糸止めなどをして固定するのが好ましい。   FIG. 49 is a perspective view of the core material 2 before the core material 2 is accommodated in the jacket material 4 and vacuum-sealed. The core material 2 of the present embodiment is configured by combining a plurality of core portions 2A, 2B, 2C. Each core part 2A, 2B, 2C is obtained by making the base material of the core material 2 into a predetermined dimension using a type | mold and a cutter (not shown). In that case, the part which forms the recessed part 61 is obtained using several core part 2B, 2C thinned and arrange | positioned on the upper surface of 2 A of flat core parts which make the bottom face of the core material 2. FIG. It is preferable to fix the core portions 2B and 2C by threading or the like to the core portion 2A so that the core portions 2B and 2C do not move.

さらに芯材2には、凹部61を逃げた位置に、吸着剤3の挿入部を設けるために、予め切刃62を入れておく。芯材2の乾燥工程を経た後、図50に示すように、切刃62を入れた箇所の芯材2を取り除いて薄肉化し、そこに吸着剤3を挿入する。その後、取り除いた芯材2を適量剥いだものを、吸着剤3の上に被せるように戻すことで、吸着剤3が直接外被材4に当たらないようにする。   Further, in order to provide the insertion portion of the adsorbent 3 in the core material 2 at a position where the recess 61 has escaped, a cutting blade 62 is previously placed. After passing through the drying process of the core material 2, as shown in FIG. 50, the core material 2 where the cutting blade 62 is inserted is removed to reduce the thickness, and the adsorbent 3 is inserted there. Then, the adsorbent 3 is prevented from directly hitting the outer covering material 4 by returning an appropriate amount of the removed core material 2 peeled off so as to cover the adsorbent 3.

図50は、芯材2に吸着剤3を装着した状態で、これらを袋状の外被材4に入れて、真空封止装置(図示せず)の内部にセットし、外被材4の内部を減圧して真空封止して得た真空断熱パネル1を示している。なお、芯材2に吸着剤を装着したものを別部材、例えばポリプロピレンシートなどに包んで圧縮し、圧縮した状態でシート周囲をヒートシールして成形体にしてから外被材4に挿入し、真空封止装置の内部にセットし、減圧前にシートの一端を開いてから外被材4の内部を減圧して真空封止してもよい(図示せず)。   FIG. 50 shows a state in which the adsorbent 3 is attached to the core material 2, these are put in a bag-like outer covering material 4, set inside a vacuum sealing device (not shown), The vacuum heat insulation panel 1 obtained by pressure-reducing the inside and vacuum-sealing is shown. The core material 2 with the adsorbent attached is wrapped in another member, for example, a polypropylene sheet, and compressed, and the sheet periphery is heat-sealed to form a molded body and then inserted into the jacket material 4. It may be set inside the vacuum sealing device, and after opening one end of the sheet before decompression, the inside of the jacket material 4 may be decompressed and vacuum sealed (not shown).

図50に示すように、真空断熱パネル1は、大気圧により押されて、芯材2を間引いた側だけでなく、その反対側にも凹部61’が形成され、必要とする凹部61は本来よりも浅い状態になっている。この凹部61に、図51や図52に示すローラー65を直線方向に向かって回転させながら圧縮し、凹部61の深さを所定寸法に成形して、完成状態の真空断熱パネル1を得る。   As shown in FIG. 50, the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 is pressed by the atmospheric pressure, and a recess 61 ′ is formed not only on the side where the core material 2 is thinned, but also on the opposite side. It is in a shallower state. The roller 65 shown in FIGS. 51 and 52 is compressed into the recess 61 while rotating in the linear direction, and the depth of the recess 61 is formed to a predetermined dimension, so that the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 in a completed state is obtained.

図51は、上記真空断熱パネル1の断面を示しており、凹部61を所定寸法に形成するために、ここでは回転するローラー65と、そのローラー65に一体形成された凸部66とを含む図示しないプレス機を用いている。ローラー65の凸部66で凹部61を一側から圧縮することで、従動ローラー67の上面に載置された真空断熱パネル1の反対側(他側)の凹部61’は略平坦になる。   FIG. 51 shows a cross section of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 and includes a rotating roller 65 and a convex portion 66 integrally formed with the roller 65 in order to form the concave portion 61 with a predetermined dimension. Uses a press that does not. By compressing the concave portion 61 from one side by the convex portion 66 of the roller 65, the concave portion 61 'on the opposite side (the other side) of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 placed on the upper surface of the driven roller 67 becomes substantially flat.

図52は、外被材4の内部を真空封止した後で、真空断熱パネル1の凹部61の表面に、ギャップ調整したローラー65を用いて、凹部61の深さを所定寸法に形成する状態を示している。具体的には、図50に示す状態の真空断熱パネル1を、送りローラー68で案内しながらローラー65に向かって搬送する。ローラー65が回転することにより、ローラー65の凸部66が真空断熱パネル1の表面を圧縮しながら、直線状に所定深さの凹部61を徐々に形成すると同時に、従動ローラー67に押し付けられた真空断熱パネル1の裏面側では、本来必要のない凹部61’が矯正されて略平坦となり、結果的に図48に示すような、真空断熱パネル1の表面側にのみ、所定寸法の深さを有する凹部61を形成した真空断熱パネル1が得られる。   FIG. 52 shows a state in which the depth of the concave portion 61 is formed to a predetermined dimension on the surface of the concave portion 61 of the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 by using the roller 65 whose gap is adjusted after the inside of the jacket material 4 is vacuum-sealed. Is shown. Specifically, the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 in the state shown in FIG. 50 is conveyed toward the roller 65 while being guided by the feed roller 68. As the roller 65 rotates, the convex portion 66 of the roller 65 compresses the surface of the vacuum thermal insulation panel 1 and gradually forms the concave portion 61 of a predetermined depth linearly, and at the same time, the vacuum pressed against the driven roller 67. On the back surface side of the heat insulating panel 1, the concave portion 61 'which is not necessary originally is corrected and becomes substantially flat, and as a result, only the surface side of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 has a depth of a predetermined dimension as shown in FIG. The vacuum heat insulation panel 1 in which the recess 61 is formed is obtained.

このように本実施例では、芯材2と水分の吸着剤3を有し、芯材2と吸着剤3を覆い内部を減圧して封止した外被材4を備え、直線状に所定の深さと幅を有する凹部61を一つ以上形成した真空断熱パネル1において、凹部61は芯材2を直線状に間引いて外被材4に挿入して真空封止した後、直線方向にローラー65を回転しながら形成されるものとなっている。   As described above, in this embodiment, the core material 2 and the moisture adsorbent 3 are provided, and the jacket material 4 that covers the core material 2 and the adsorbent 3 and is sealed by depressurizing the inside is provided. In the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 in which one or more recesses 61 having a depth and a width are formed, the recesses 61 are thinned in a straight line, inserted into the outer cover material 4 and vacuum-sealed, and then the rollers 65 are linearly moved. It is formed while rotating.

従来は、真空断熱パネルに溝加工を行なう方法として、外被材の内部を真空封止した真空断熱パネルに対し、後加工で金型に凸部を設けたプレス機で圧縮する考えや、ローラーに凸部を設けて、そのローラーを回転させながら圧縮する考えが提案されている。これらの方法は、何れも後加工で所定深さの凹部を圧縮により形成するので、真空断熱パネルの厚みが薄くなる。そのため、必要な厚さの真空断熱パネルを得るには、芯材厚みを予め厚くしておく必要があり、芯材の使用量が多くなってコストアップの要因となっていた。また、一度に所定の深さの凹部を形成させなければならず、外被材にダメージを与えてしまい、外被材の破れや外被材のバリア性が低下して、真空断熱パネルとしての断熱性能が劣化する。   Conventionally, as a method of grooving a vacuum heat insulation panel, a vacuum heat insulation panel in which the inside of the jacket material is sealed in a vacuum is compressed with a press machine having a convex portion on a die in a post-processing, or a roller An idea has been proposed in which a convex portion is provided on the roller and the roller is compressed while rotating. In any of these methods, since a recess having a predetermined depth is formed by post-processing, the thickness of the vacuum heat insulating panel is reduced. Therefore, in order to obtain a vacuum heat insulation panel having a necessary thickness, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the core material in advance, which increases the amount of the core material used, which increases the cost. In addition, it is necessary to form a recess having a predetermined depth at a time, which damages the jacket material, and the barrier material of the jacket material is broken and the barrier property of the jacket material is reduced. Thermal insulation performance deteriorates.

そこで本実施例のように、芯部2Aの上面に複数の芯部2B,2Cを間引いて配置して、芯材2に予め凹部61を形成すれば、外被材4の内部を真空封止した後の大気圧により、真空断熱パネル1にはある程度の深さの凹部61が形成され、予め凹部61を形成していない平板状の真空断熱パネル1に対し、後加工で所定の深さの凹部61をローラー65で圧縮して形成する場合と比べて、同じ厚さの真空断熱パネル1を得るのに、芯材2の使用量を少なくすることができる。また、芯材2に予め凹部61が形成されているので、ローラー65による後加工では真空断熱パネル1に対する圧縮力が小さく済み、その結果、所定の深さの凹部65を形成するのに、外被材4へのダメージを少なくすることができる。   Therefore, as in the present embodiment, a plurality of core portions 2B, 2C are disposed on the upper surface of the core portion 2A and the recess 61 is formed in the core material 2 in advance. Due to the atmospheric pressure, the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 is formed with a recess 61 having a certain depth, and the flat vacuum heat insulation panel 1 in which the recess 61 is not formed in advance has a predetermined depth by post-processing. Compared with the case where the recess 61 is formed by compressing with the roller 65, the amount of the core material 2 used can be reduced in order to obtain the vacuum heat insulation panel 1 having the same thickness. Further, since the recess 61 is formed in the core material 2 in advance, the post-processing by the roller 65 requires only a small compressive force on the vacuum heat insulating panel 1, and as a result, the outer surface is formed to form the recess 65 having a predetermined depth. Damage to the workpiece 4 can be reduced.

また本実施例では、真空断熱パネル1の凹部61を、図示しないプレス機により圧縮して所定深さに形成している。この場合も、上述の効果を得ることができる他に、プレス機を用いて所定深さの凹部61を、真空断熱パネル1に形成することが可能になる。   In this embodiment, the recess 61 of the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 is compressed to a predetermined depth by a press machine (not shown). In this case as well, the above-described effects can be obtained, and the recess 61 having a predetermined depth can be formed in the vacuum heat insulating panel 1 using a press.

なお、本発明は上記各実施例に限定されるものではなく、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の変更可能である。例えば、各実施例に示す芯材2は、平面視で四角形以外の形状であっても構わない。また、各実施例に記載された特徴を、別な一乃至複数の実施例と組み合わせてもよい。   The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the core material 2 shown in each embodiment may have a shape other than a square in plan view.
