Description

本発明は真空断熱材及び真空断熱材を使用した冷蔵庫に関する。 The present invention relates to a vacuum heat insulating material and a refrigerator using the vacuum heat insulating material.

従来の冷蔵庫については、特許文献1の図3及び明細書記載のように、断熱箱体内の最下部に冷凍室を構成し、該冷凍室の両側方及び背方に対応して真空断熱材を配設すると共に、該真空断熱材の上方に位置する外箱内面に冷却装置の冷媒配管を添設していた。   As for the conventional refrigerator, as shown in FIG. 3 and the specification of Patent Document 1, a freezing room is formed at the bottom of the heat insulating box, and vacuum heat insulating materials are provided corresponding to both sides and the back of the freezing room. In addition, the refrigerant piping of the cooling device was attached to the inner surface of the outer box located above the vacuum heat insulating material.

特開平10-205995号公報(図3)Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-205995 (FIG. 3)

しかしながら、特許文献1では、真空断熱材を冷蔵庫に組み込むときのハンドリング等における真空断熱材自身の傷つき防止についての考慮が充分でなかった。つまり、冷蔵庫外箱は鋼板製薄板を使用して形成される場合が多いので、真空断熱材を組み込むときに、該鋼板製薄板にて形成する部材端面に真空断熱材が当接すると、該真空断熱材の外被材が損傷を受ける場合があり、その損傷が原因となってガスバリア性が次第に劣化し、長期間経過後には真空断熱材の熱伝導率の低下を招く場合があったが、この点についての考慮が充分でなかった。   However, in Patent Document 1, consideration has not been given to preventing damage to the vacuum heat insulating material itself in handling and the like when the vacuum heat insulating material is incorporated into a refrigerator. That is, since the refrigerator outer box is often formed using a steel sheet thin plate, when the vacuum heat insulating material comes into contact with the member end surface formed of the steel sheet thin plate when the vacuum heat insulating material is incorporated, the vacuum The outer jacket material of the heat insulating material may be damaged, and the gas barrier property gradually deteriorates due to the damage, and after a long period of time, the thermal conductivity of the vacuum heat insulating material may be lowered, This point was not fully considered.

また、真空断熱材はその内部を所定の真空度に減圧する際、該真空断熱材の外表面を形成する外被材が、大気圧によりコア材表面に密着するように圧着されるが、そのとき真空断熱材の稜線部の外被材には引っ張り力が加わり、該稜線部の外被材内に内部応力が残留する場合がある。内部応力が残留した真空断熱材の稜線部に、外力が加わるとその損傷は期間の経過と共に次第に大きくなり、ついには外被材の破壊に至る場合があった。   Further, when the vacuum heat insulating material is depressurized to a predetermined degree of vacuum, the jacket material forming the outer surface of the vacuum heat insulating material is pressure-bonded so as to be in close contact with the core material surface by atmospheric pressure. Sometimes, a tensile force is applied to the jacket material of the ridge line portion of the vacuum heat insulating material, and internal stress may remain in the jacket material of the ridge line portion. When an external force is applied to the ridge portion of the vacuum heat insulating material where the internal stress remains, the damage gradually increases with the passage of time, and eventually the outer cover material may be destroyed.

さらには、コア材を外被材で内包する際にも問題があった。図12及び図13は、従来の真空断熱材製造説明図である。この図12、図13に示すように、真空断熱材の外被材91は、コア材92を内包する関係上、コア材より大きめに構成する必要がある(図12において、W21>W22,L21>L22)。従って、図12に示すように外被材91中にコア材92が偏って配設されると、外被材をシールしたフィルム端縁(以下耳部と表記する)の幅寸法が部分的に小さくなる部分91cが現れる。このような幅寸法が小さくなった耳部はコア材表面に折り返すことが出来ないので、図13に示すようなシールしわ90cが発生してしまう。このシールしわ90cは、少なくとも合成樹脂フィルムが2枚重合しているのでかなりな剛性を有している。従ってこの耳部が、電気品の軟質配線或いは隣り合わせの真空断熱材自体に当接した場合は、前記配線や真空断熱材自身を傷つけてしまう。また、このシールしわ90cの発生した状態でウレタン等の発泡断熱材中に充填すると、シールしわ90cがウレタンの充填流動を阻害して、未充填箇所あるいは充填比重の異なる断熱層を形成してしまう欠陥が発生する場合があった。   Furthermore, there has been a problem when the core material is encapsulated with a jacket material. 12 and 13 are diagrams for explaining conventional vacuum heat insulating material manufacturing. As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the envelope 91 of the vacuum heat insulating material needs to be configured to be larger than the core material because of including the core material 92 (in FIG. 12, W21> W22, L21). > L22). Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 12, when the core material 92 is disposed in an uneven manner in the jacket material 91, the width dimension of the film edge (hereinafter referred to as an ear portion) that seals the jacket material is partially A smaller portion 91c appears. Since the ear | edge part in which such a width dimension became small cannot be folded back on the core material surface, the seal wrinkle 90c as shown in FIG. 13 will generate | occur | produce. The seal wrinkle 90c has a considerable rigidity because at least two synthetic resin films are superposed. Therefore, when this ear | edge part contact | abuts to the soft wiring of electrical goods, or the adjacent vacuum heat insulating material itself, the said wiring and the vacuum heat insulating material itself will be damaged. Further, if the foamed heat insulating material such as urethane is filled in the state where the seal wrinkle 90c is generated, the seal wrinkle 90c inhibits the filling flow of the urethane and forms an unfilled portion or a heat insulating layer having a different filling specific gravity. Defects may occur.

従って、本発明は、冷蔵庫の外箱と内箱間に真空断熱材を組み込む際、該組み込み作業の間に、誤って、真空断熱材の強度的弱点である稜線部を、鋼板製薄板にて形成された外箱の部材端面に当接しても、あるいは、冷蔵庫の冷凍サイクルを形成する銅管やアルミ管等の冷媒配管に当接しても、該真空断熱材の外被材が損傷を受ける程度を減少する構造を提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, when the vacuum heat insulating material is assembled between the outer box and the inner box of the refrigerator, the present invention mistakenly, during the assembling work, the ridge line portion which is the strength weakness of the vacuum heat insulating material is made of a steel plate. Even if it abuts against the member end face of the formed outer box or a refrigerant pipe such as a copper pipe or an aluminum pipe forming the refrigeration cycle of the refrigerator, the jacket material of the vacuum heat insulating material is damaged. The object is to provide a structure of reduced degree.

また、冷蔵庫のウレタン等の発泡断熱材中に電気品の配線と一緒に真空断熱材を配設しても、互いに傷つけない構造を提供すると共に、ウレタン等の発泡断熱材の充填流動を阻害しない真空断熱材を提供することを目的とする。   In addition, even if vacuum insulation is placed in the foam insulation such as urethane in the refrigerator together with electrical wiring, it provides a structure that does not damage each other and does not hinder the filling flow of foam insulation such as urethane It aims at providing a vacuum heat insulating material.

図5の二点鎖線で示す形状は、略矩形平面形状外被材31の任意の外周三辺を熱溶着部34aにより溶着し、かつ、同時に後述するコア材原料の位置決め33aを熱溶着部34aの内部に複数箇所形成した状態の平面図であり、図5の実線および点線で示す形状は、前記略矩形の袋状に形成した平面形状外被材を、後述する図6に示すように立体的に膨らませて{T1>T2}、外被材31の開口部32よりコア材原料41を、挿入ガイド板44或いは圧縮空気または手作業等にて挿入した状態の平面図である。外被材31の平面投影面はコア材原料41の平面投影面よりも大きく構成されている。   The shape shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 5 is that an arbitrary three outer peripheral sides of a substantially rectangular planar outer covering material 31 are welded by a heat welding portion 34a, and at the same time, a core material raw material positioning 33a, which will be described later, is provided. FIG. 5 is a plan view showing a state in which a plurality of locations are formed inside, and the shape indicated by the solid line and the dotted line in FIG. 5 is a three-dimensional shape of the planar outer covering material formed in the substantially rectangular bag shape as shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a state in which the core material 41 is inserted by an insertion guide plate 44, compressed air, manual work, or the like through the opening 32 of the jacket material 31 after inflating {T1> T2}. The planar projection surface of the jacket material 31 is configured to be larger than the planar projection surface of the core material 41.

この位置決めは、外被材31の位置決め相当部位を熱溶着して形成されている。また、袋内部の当該部位に位置決め部材を配置してもよい。位置決め部材を配置する場合は、コア材と同材質のものを用いれば断熱性能上も問題はない。   This positioning is formed by thermally welding a position corresponding to the positioning of the jacket material 31. Moreover, you may arrange | position a positioning member in the said site | part inside a bag. When the positioning member is arranged, there is no problem in heat insulation performance if the same material as the core material is used.

すなわち、外被材31の四辺は、四辺のうちの一辺を構成する開口部32と、他の三辺とからなり、他の三辺の周縁部は熱溶着される溶着部34aである。この溶着部34aよりも中央側には位置決め33が設けられている。これらの構成について以下説明する。   That is, the four sides of the jacket material 31 are formed of an opening 32 constituting one side of the four sides and the other three sides, and the peripheral part of the other three sides is a welded portion 34a to be thermally welded. A positioning 33 is provided on the center side of the welded portion 34a. These configurations will be described below.

図5及び図6において、コア材原料41の大きさ寸法を厚さT2、幅W2、長さL2とし、外被材31の溶着部34a内及び後述する溶着部34b内の平面大きさ寸法を幅W1、長さL1とし、その関係を{W1=W2+W3+W4}、{L1=L2+L3+L4}とすると、前述したような、袋状外被材31の開口部32よりコア材原料41を挿入するための、作業加工を容易にするために、W3とW4及びL3、L4をほぼ同一寸法とし、{W3+W4}寸法をコア材原料41の厚さ寸法T2の2倍から5倍に設定する。つまり、後述する位置決め33bが無ければ、従来例の図12に示した例のように、コア材原料41も外被材中での位置が定まらない状態となる。従って、本発明は図5に示すように、コア材周縁41bにほぼ密着する位置の袋状外被材に位置決め33bを熱溶着等で複数箇所設置してある。換言すれば、略矩形平面形状外被材31の任意の外周三辺を熱溶着部34aにより密封するときに、同時に、コア材原料41の幅W2寸法或いは長さL2寸法を基準として、該W2或いはL2寸法より所定の寸法W5、W6或いはL5だけ離した位置に、熱溶着等により袋状外被材の密着部33aを形成する。そして、該所定の寸法W5、W6或いはL5を、それぞれコア材原料41の厚さT2寸法にほぼ等しくすれば、該平面形状外被材31を図6に示すように膨らませて、該内部にコア材原料41を挿入したときに、図5に示すように、平面形状時の一点鎖線で示した密着部33aは、コア材原料41の挿入による袋状外被材の膨らみ変形により、同じ図5に示す実線部の33bに移動して、コア材周縁41bにほぼ密着する位置決め33bとなる。   5 and 6, the size dimensions of the core material 41 are defined as thickness T2, width W2, and length L2, and the plane size dimensions in the welded portion 34a of the jacket material 31 and in a welded portion 34b described later are used. Assuming that the width W1 and the length L1 are {W1 = W2 + W3 + W4} and {L1 = L2 + L3 + L4}, the core is formed from the opening 32 of the bag-shaped jacket 31 as described above. W3, W4, L3, and L4 are almost the same size, and the {W3 + W4} dimension is twice the thickness T2 of the core material 41. To 5 times. That is, if there is no positioning 33b to be described later, the position of the core material 41 in the jacket material is not determined as in the example shown in FIG. Accordingly, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of positioning 33b are installed on the bag-like outer covering material at a position almost in close contact with the core material peripheral edge 41b by heat welding or the like. In other words, when the arbitrary three outer peripheral sides of the substantially rectangular planar outer covering material 31 are sealed by the heat welding portion 34a, at the same time, the width W2 dimension or the length L2 dimension of the core material raw material 41 is used as a reference. Alternatively, the close contact portion 33a of the bag-like jacket material is formed by thermal welding or the like at a position separated from the L2 dimension by a predetermined dimension W5, W6 or L5. Then, if the predetermined dimensions W5, W6 or L5 are substantially equal to the thickness T2 dimension of the core material raw material 41, the planar outer covering material 31 is expanded as shown in FIG. When the material raw material 41 is inserted, as shown in FIG. 5, the close contact portion 33a indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in the planar shape is the same as that shown in FIG. It moves to the solid line portion 33b shown in FIG.

なお、外被材31は、アルミ箔等の金属箔の内面にポリエチレン樹脂やポリアクリロニトリル樹脂等の熱溶着可能な有機材フィルムをラミネートした複合フィルムより成り、前記溶着部34aは略平面状で溶着されるために、幅N1、N2或いはN3は通常5mmから15mm程度の溶着代に設定される。しかし、コア材原料41を挿入後、加圧し、所定の真空度に減圧後溶着される溶着部34bの溶着代N4は、その溶着時の平面度にバラツキが発生するため、前記溶着部34aよりすこし大きめに設定する場合もある。   The jacket material 31 is composed of a composite film in which an organic material film such as polyethylene resin or polyacrylonitrile resin is laminated on the inner surface of a metal foil such as an aluminum foil, and the weld portion 34a is welded in a substantially flat shape. Therefore, the width N1, N2 or N3 is usually set to a welding allowance of about 5 mm to 15 mm. However, since the welding allowance N4 of the welded portion 34b that is pressurized after inserting the core material 41 and welded after reducing the pressure to a predetermined degree of vacuum causes variations in flatness at the time of welding, the welding portion 34a Sometimes it is set a little larger.

また、前述の位置決め33bはコア材原料41の三辺のみの位置を規制する方式としているが、その他の一辺は、図5に示すようにコア材原料41挿入の反対方向への移動を規制する凸部を有する挿入ガイド板44等により、コア材原料41を奥側の位置決め33bに当接するように挿入することにより位置決めできる。   In addition, the positioning 33b described above is a system that regulates the position of only three sides of the core material 41, but the other side regulates the movement in the opposite direction of the insertion of the core material 41 as shown in FIG. The core material raw material 41 can be positioned by inserting it into contact with the rear positioning 33b by means of an insertion guide plate 44 or the like having a convex portion.

次に、本発明の一実施例を示す真空断熱材の製造工程を図7により説明する。図7(a)(b)(c)は、それぞれ図5の線D-D断面相当部の製造工程説明図である。図7(a)は前述のコア材原料41を袋状外被材に挿入したときの状態を示し、図7(b)はコア材原料41を挿入後、加圧し、所定の真空度に減圧して溶着部34b(図5の34b)を溶着したときの状態を示し、図7(c)は図7(b)の袋状外被材のコア材表面或いは底面よりはみ出す所(以下、このように、外被材31のコア材41の平面投影面よりはみ出すところを耳部と表示する)を折り返して真空断熱材稜線30aを覆った状態を示す。   Next, the manufacturing process of the vacuum heat insulating material showing one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 7 (a), 7 (b), and 7 (c) are diagrams illustrating the manufacturing process corresponding to the section corresponding to the line DD in FIG. FIG. 7 (a) shows the state when the core material 41 is inserted into the bag-shaped jacket material, and FIG. 7 (b) shows the pressure after the core material 41 is inserted and reduced to a predetermined degree of vacuum. 7b shows the state when the welded portion 34b (34b in FIG. 5) is welded, and FIG. 7 (c) is a place that protrudes from the core material surface or bottom surface of the bag-shaped outer cover material of FIG. As shown, the portion of the outer cover material 31 that protrudes from the plane projection surface of the core material 41 is indicated as an ear part) and the vacuum heat insulating material ridge line 30a is covered.

先ず、図7(a)において、コア材原料41は、前述の図5で説明したように、図5の寸法が、ほぼ、W3=W4=L3=L4であるため、袋状外被材31の平面投影面のほぼ中央に配置される構成となる。また、図7(a)に示すδ1寸法は、コア材原料41と位置決め33bとの製造位置誤差を吸収できる寸法程度であるため、前述の、コア材原料41を袋状外被材31の平面投影面のほぼ中央に配置する構成には変わりない。なお、製造位置誤差を吸収するδ1寸法は、通常は10mmから15mm程度が望ましい。   First, in FIG. 7A, the core material 41 has a bag-shaped outer covering material 31 because the dimensions in FIG. 5 are substantially W3 = W4 = L3 = L4 as described with reference to FIG. It becomes the structure arrange | positioned in the approximate center of this plane projection surface. Further, the δ1 dimension shown in FIG. 7A is about a dimension that can absorb the manufacturing position error between the core material 41 and the positioning 33b. There is no change in the configuration in which it is arranged at the approximate center of the projection plane. In general, it is desirable that the δ1 dimension for absorbing the manufacturing position error is about 10 mm to 15 mm.

なお、W3≠L3(W4≠L3)であっても、また、L3≠L4であっても、開口部32の反対側の一辺を形成する奥側に設けられる位置決め33aが、コア材原料41寸法と外被材31寸法等から不都合を生じない位置に設けられていれば問題はなく、W3=W4であれば、左右方向の二辺の端部からコア材原料41が配置される位置は左右方向の中央部となり、コア材原料41の挿入時に位置ずれのしやすい左右方向のずれを規制することができ、耳部の幅を左右でほぼ等しくすることができる。   In addition, even if W3 ≠ L3 (W4 ≠ L3) and L3 ≠ L4, the positioning 33a provided on the back side that forms one side opposite to the opening 32 is the dimension of the core material raw material 41 If W3 = W4, the position where the core material 41 is arranged from the end of the two sides in the left-right direction is left and right. It becomes the central part of the direction, and it is possible to restrict the lateral displacement that is likely to be displaced when the core material 41 is inserted, and the width of the ear portion can be made substantially equal on the left and right.

次に図7(b)に示すように、コア材原料41を内包したまま、所定の圧力で加圧し、その内部を所定の真空度に減圧すると、コア材42の厚さT2は所定の厚さT3に圧縮され、同時に幅寸法がW8となる。この場合、コア材原料41として、ガラス繊維等に珪酸ソーダ等の無機系バインダー剤を配合した原料を使用すると、W8寸法は、ほぼW2寸法と等しくなる。従って、外被材の耳部36の幅W7或いはW9は、それぞれ、厚さ寸法T2とT3の差の約半分の寸法だけ、初期の寸法より増加する。従って、前述の位置決め33bを設置することにより、外被材の耳部36の幅W7或いはW9は、図7(c)に示すように、真空断熱材稜線30aを覆う折り返し部30b(耳部を真空断熱材稜線30aを覆うように折り返した部分を、以下折り返し部という。)の寸法が確保できる構成となる。換言すれば、図7(c)に示す真空断熱材稜線30aを覆う折り返し部30bの寸法を確保できるように、図7(b)に示す耳部36の寸法W7及びW9を設定する。   Next, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), when the core material 41 is encapsulated and pressurized with a predetermined pressure and the inside is depressurized to a predetermined degree of vacuum, the thickness T2 of the core material 42 is a predetermined thickness. Compressed to length T3, the width dimension becomes W8 at the same time. In this case, when a raw material in which an inorganic binder such as sodium silicate is blended with glass fiber or the like is used as the core material 41, the W8 dimension is substantially equal to the W2 dimension. Therefore, the width W7 or W9 of the outer ear 36 of the jacket material is increased from the initial dimension by about half the difference between the thickness dimensions T2 and T3, respectively. Therefore, by installing the above-described positioning 33b, the width W7 or W9 of the ear portion 36 of the jacket material is changed to the folded portion 30b (the ear portion) covering the vacuum heat insulating material ridge line 30a as shown in FIG. The portion folded back so as to cover the vacuum heat insulating material ridge line 30a is hereinafter referred to as a folded portion). In other words, the dimensions W7 and W9 of the ear part 36 shown in FIG. 7B are set so that the dimension of the folded part 30b covering the vacuum heat insulating material ridge line 30a shown in FIG.

このとき、耳部は同方向に折り返すことが望ましい。すなわち、コア材42の同じ側の平面に向かって折り返すことが望ましい。なぜならば、折り返し部30bは真空断熱材30の同側の平面に形成されることとなり、他方の面は平坦となるため、例えば外箱へ接着する場合等に有利だからである。   At this time, it is desirable that the ear portion be folded back in the same direction. In other words, it is desirable that the core material 42 be folded back toward the same plane. This is because the folded portion 30b is formed on the same plane of the vacuum heat insulating material 30, and the other surface is flat, which is advantageous when, for example, bonding to the outer box.

なお、折り返し部30bは、前述したように、外被材31が、アルミ箔等の金属箔の内面にポリエチレン樹脂やポリアクリロニトリル樹脂等の熱溶着可能な有機材フィルムをラミネートした複合フィルムより成るため、また、外被材31の複合フィルムが2枚重合しているので剛性を有し、従って、折り返し部30bで覆われた真空断熱材稜線30aは、他の部材の当接に耐える構成となる。   Note that, as described above, the folded portion 30b is formed of a composite film in which the covering material 31 is formed by laminating an organic material film such as polyethylene resin or polyacrylonitrile resin on the inner surface of a metal foil such as an aluminum foil. In addition, since two composite films of the jacket material 31 are superposed, the film has rigidity. Therefore, the vacuum heat insulating material ridge line 30a covered with the folded portion 30b has a configuration that can withstand contact of other members. .

また、上述のように位置決めを設けたため、多数製造される真空断熱材の耳部36寸法、折り返し部30b寸法がほぼ同程度の寸法となる。したがって、冷蔵庫に設置する際に、図2に示す挟持部2c、挟持部2e、冷媒配管8、電気配線11、図3に示す保持部2gとの当接を個体差に起因するバラツキを気にする必要はなく、製造効率が向上する。   Further, since the positioning is provided as described above, the dimensions of the ear part 36 and the folded part 30b of the vacuum heat insulating material to be manufactured are approximately the same. Therefore, when installing in the refrigerator, the contact between the clamping part 2c, the clamping part 2e, the refrigerant pipe 8, the electrical wiring 11, and the holding part 2g shown in FIG. It is not necessary to improve the manufacturing efficiency.

本例では、位置決め33は、コア材42を外被材31の平面投影面の中央に配置するように備えられ、また、真空断熱材稜線30aが耳部36により覆われて構成された真空断熱材30を冷蔵庫に設置する際には、耳部36により覆われた稜線部(すなわち図7(c)の真空断熱材稜線部30a)が冷蔵庫の内箱4側となるように配置される。   In this example, the positioning 33 is provided so as to arrange the core material 42 in the center of the planar projection surface of the jacket material 31, and the vacuum heat insulating material ridge line 30a is covered with the ear portion 36 and is configured to be vacuum heat insulating. When the material 30 is installed in the refrigerator, the ridge line portion covered by the ear portion 36 (that is, the vacuum heat insulating material ridge line portion 30a in FIG. 7C) is arranged on the refrigerator inner box 4 side.

このように真空断熱材30を配置することによって、真空断熱材30の冷蔵庫外箱4側の平面は平坦となり接着上有利なだけではなく、冷蔵庫の外観形状(平面性)も有利となる。   By arranging the vacuum heat insulating material 30 in this way, the flat surface of the vacuum heat insulating material 30 on the refrigerator outer box 4 side becomes flat, which is advantageous not only for adhesion but also for the external shape (flatness) of the refrigerator.

また、図2、図3及び図7(c)に示すように、真空断熱材30の稜線部30aと連続する側面と折り返し部30bとの間に空隙を設けておくと、この部分の折り返し部30bは弾性を持つこととなり、真空断熱材を冷蔵庫へ組み込み際に、冷媒配管8や電気配線11等の障害物と多少当接しても真空断熱材自身や障害物を傷付けるおそれが低減する。   Also, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 7C, if a gap is provided between the side surface of the vacuum heat insulating material 30 that is continuous with the ridge line portion 30a and the folded portion 30b, the folded portion of this portion is provided. 30b has elasticity, and the risk of damaging the vacuum heat insulating material itself and the obstacle is reduced even if the vacuum heat insulating material is slightly contacted with the obstacle such as the refrigerant pipe 8 and the electric wiring 11 when the vacuum heat insulating material is incorporated into the refrigerator.

本実施例によれば、コア材42を袋状外被材31の平面投影面のほぼ中央に配置できる位置決め33を形成し、外被材31のコア材42表面或いは底面よりはみ出す耳部で真空断熱材稜線30aを覆い、且つ、この覆われた稜線部30aが外箱2と内箱4との間にある障害物に対向するように配設したので、冷蔵庫1の外箱2と内箱4間に真空断熱材を組み込む際、組み込み作業の間に、誤って、真空断熱材の強度的弱点である稜線部30aを、鋼板製薄板にて形成された外箱2の部材端面に当接しても、あるいは、冷蔵庫1の冷凍サイクルを形成する銅管やアルミ管等の冷媒配管8に当接しても、真空断熱材の外被材31が損傷を受ける程度を減少できる。また、真空断熱材の表面より突出するシールしわが発生しないので、冷蔵庫のウレタン等の発泡断熱材中に電気品の配線11と一緒に真空断熱材を配設しても、互いに傷つけない冷蔵庫構造で、また、ウレタン等の発泡断熱材の充填流動を阻害しない真空断熱材構成を提供できる。また、コア材42を袋状外被材31の平面投影面のほぼ中央に配置できるので、耳部の折り返し作業効率の向上する真空断熱材構造を提供することができる。   According to the present embodiment, the positioning material 33 is formed so that the core material 42 can be arranged at substantially the center of the plane projection surface of the bag-shaped outer covering material 31, and a vacuum is formed at the ear portion protruding from the surface or bottom surface of the core material 42 of the outer covering material 31. Since the heat-insulating material ridge line 30a is covered and the covered ridge line portion 30a is disposed so as to face an obstacle between the outer box 2 and the inner box 4, the outer box 2 and the inner box of the refrigerator 1 When assembling the vacuum heat insulating material between the four, the ridgeline portion 30a, which is the strength weakness of the vacuum heat insulating material, is mistakenly brought into contact with the end face of the outer box 2 formed of a thin steel plate during the assembling work. However, even if it comes into contact with the refrigerant pipe 8 such as a copper pipe or an aluminum pipe forming the refrigeration cycle of the refrigerator 1, the extent to which the jacket 31 of the vacuum heat insulating material is damaged can be reduced. In addition, since the seal wrinkles protruding from the surface of the vacuum heat insulating material do not occur, even if the vacuum heat insulating material is arranged together with the electrical wiring 11 in the foam heat insulating material such as urethane of the refrigerator, the refrigerator structure does not damage each other Moreover, the vacuum heat insulating material structure which does not inhibit the filling flow of foam heat insulating materials, such as urethane, can be provided. In addition, since the core material 42 can be disposed substantially at the center of the planar projection surface of the bag-shaped outer covering material 31, a vacuum heat insulating material structure that improves the efficiency of folding the ear portion can be provided.

次に、本発明の第二の実施例を図8乃至図10を用いて説明する。   Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

図8は、本発明の第二の実施例を示す真空断熱材平面説明図である。なお、前述の図5から図7に示す部材番号と同じ番号で表示した部材は、前述の機能と同様な機能を具備していることを表す。また、幅寸法等を表示する同一の記号は、前述の図5から図7にて説明した意味と同様の意味を有することを表す。   FIG. 8 is an explanatory plan view of a vacuum heat insulating material showing a second embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the member shown with the same number as the member number shown in above-mentioned FIGS. 5-7 represents having the same function as the above-mentioned function. In addition, the same symbol indicating the width dimension and the like indicates that it has the same meaning as described above with reference to FIGS.

図8に示す第二の実施例の特徴は、袋状外被材31に配設する位置決めを複数に分割し、該位置決めのうちの、コア材原料41を挿入する開口部32側の位置決め33eを、コア材原料41の側縁41bより所定の寸法W13だけ離して設置することにより、コア材原料41の挿入作業をより効率向上させるように構成したものである。なお、所定の寸法W13は、袋状外被材31の幅とコア材原料41の幅との差W3或いはW4より小さい寸法に設定する。つまり、{δ1<W13<W3}或いは{δ1<W3<W4}の関係に設定する。また、コア材原料41の奥縁41cの位置決めとなる33bを複数箇所に分割設置することにより、コア材原料41の挿入位置を、袋状外被材31の平面投影面の中央に位置させる効果がより向上する。   The feature of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 8 is that the positioning disposed on the bag-shaped outer covering material 31 is divided into a plurality of positioning positioning positioning 33e on the opening 32 side into which the core material raw material 41 is inserted. Is disposed away from the side edge 41b of the core material 41 by a predetermined dimension W13, so that the insertion work of the core material 41 is further improved in efficiency. The predetermined dimension W13 is set to be smaller than the difference W3 or W4 between the width of the bag-shaped outer covering material 31 and the width of the core material raw material 41. That is, the relationship {δ1 <W13 <W3} or {δ1 <W3 <W4} is set. Also, the effect of positioning the insertion position of the core material 41 in the center of the planar projection surface of the bag-shaped outer jacket material 31 by dividing and installing the 33b serving as the positioning of the inner edge 41c of the core material 41 in a plurality of locations. Will be improved.

このように左右側の両辺に設けられる位置決め部間の距離を、開口部側の位置決め33eより奥側の位置決め33bを短くすることによって、コア材原料41の挿入がより容易となり、製造効率を向上することができる。   In this way, the distance between the positioning portions provided on both the left and right sides is made shorter than the positioning 33e on the back side than the positioning 33e on the opening side, thereby facilitating the insertion of the core material 41 and improving the manufacturing efficiency. can do.

本実施例によれば、さらに、袋状外被材31のコア材周縁に沿う位置に、複数の熱溶着部を設置すれば、矩形状外被材31の周縁を熱溶着する製造工程中に同時に、位置決め用の熱溶着部を形成できるので、製造効率の良い冷蔵庫構造を提供できる。   According to the present embodiment, further, if a plurality of heat welding portions are installed at positions along the periphery of the core material of the bag-shaped outer covering material 31, during the manufacturing process of thermally welding the peripheral edge of the rectangular outer covering material 31. At the same time, since the positioning heat welding portion can be formed, a refrigerator structure with good manufacturing efficiency can be provided.

図9は、本発明の第二の実施例の別の実施例を示したものである。このようにW13寸法を小さくすれば、位置決め33eは挿入時の挿入ガイドとして機能し、コア材原料41は挿入時に図に示す二点鎖線に沿って案内されることとなり、コア材原料41の挿入がしやすくなる。   FIG. 9 shows another embodiment of the second embodiment of the present invention. If the W13 dimension is reduced in this way, the positioning 33e functions as an insertion guide at the time of insertion, and the core material 41 is guided along the two-dot chain line shown in the figure at the time of insertion. It becomes easy to do.

図10は、本発明の第二の実施例のさらに別の実施例を示したものである。この例では、外被材31の四辺は、開口部32からみて左右側の両辺に設けられる位置決め間の距離は前記開口部32側より奥側の方が短く構成されており、さらに開口部32側に備えられる位置決め33e'は開口部32側より奥側の方が短く構成されている。すなわち、左右側の両辺に設けられる位置決めのうち、奥側の位置決め33bは、コア材原料41を左右方向の中央に配置するようにコア材原料41の挿入方向と同方向に伸びており、開口部32側の位置決め33e'は、コア材原料41を中央へと案内するように構成される。このような構成によれば、コア材原料41は挿入時に外被材31の左右方向の中央へと案内され、挿入がしやすくなる。   FIG. 10 shows still another embodiment of the second embodiment of the present invention. In this example, the four sides of the jacket material 31 are configured such that the distance between the positioning provided on both the left and right sides when viewed from the opening 32 is shorter on the back side than the opening 32 side. The positioning 33e ′ provided on the side is configured to be shorter on the back side than on the opening 32 side. That is, among the positioning provided on both the left and right sides, the rear positioning 33b extends in the same direction as the insertion direction of the core material 41 so that the core material 41 is arranged in the center in the left and right direction, and the opening The positioning 33e ′ on the part 32 side is configured to guide the core material 41 to the center. According to such a configuration, the core material 41 is guided to the center in the left-right direction of the jacket material 31 at the time of insertion, so that it can be easily inserted.

図11は、本発明の第三の実施例を示したものである。なお、前述の図面と同符号については説明を省略する。この例では、位置決め33bは左右方向の中央に位置するように設けられておらず、一方の耳部が大きくなるように構成される(W3<W4)。ただし、図12及び図13で示したようにシールしわ90cや、コア材表面に折り返すことができないような部分的に小さくなる部分91cが生じないようにW3は決定される。   FIG. 11 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. In addition, description is abbreviate | omitted about the same sign as the above-mentioned drawing. In this example, the positioning 33b is not provided so as to be positioned at the center in the left-right direction, and is configured such that one of the ears is enlarged (W3 <W4). However, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, W3 is determined so that the seal wrinkle 90c and the part 91c that cannot be folded back on the surface of the core material are not generated.

図1に示すように、真空断熱材は冷蔵庫1の外箱2と内箱4との間に配置され、外箱2と内箱4との間には発泡断熱材3が充填される。また、図2に示すように、この領域には冷媒配管8や電気配線11が配置される。真空断熱材を外箱4に接するように備えると次のような問題が生ずる場合がある。   As shown in FIG. 1, the vacuum heat insulating material is disposed between the outer box 2 and the inner box 4 of the refrigerator 1, and the foam heat insulating material 3 is filled between the outer box 2 and the inner box 4. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the refrigerant pipe 8 and the electric wiring 11 are arranged in this region. If the vacuum heat insulating material is provided in contact with the outer box 4, the following problem may occur.

外被材31は、内部の真空度を維持するためにガスバリア性を必要とし、通常、アルミ箔層を備える。アルミ箔層は熱伝導率が大きいため、内部のコア材41の断熱効果によらず、外被材31の表面を熱が伝わることがある。この現象は、真空断熱材の表面側から裏面側へと熱を伝えることとなる。さらに、真空断熱材において外被材31の耳部を折り曲げて折り返し部30bを形成すると、折り返されて重ねられる部分は、他の部分と比較して多くの熱を持つこととなる。また、当該重ねられる部分の面積が大きい場合には、当該部分の近傍に冷媒配管8や電気配線11が配置されると熱がこれらに伝導する場合がある。また、圧縮機9と近い位置に当該部分が配置されると圧縮機9の熱を伝えやすくなる。   The jacket material 31 requires gas barrier properties in order to maintain the internal vacuum, and usually includes an aluminum foil layer. Since the aluminum foil layer has a high thermal conductivity, heat may be transmitted through the surface of the jacket material 31 regardless of the heat insulating effect of the core material 41 inside. This phenomenon transfers heat from the front surface side to the back surface side of the vacuum heat insulating material. Further, when the ear portion of the jacket material 31 is bent in the vacuum heat insulating material to form the folded portion 30b, the folded and overlapped portion has more heat than the other portions. In addition, when the area of the overlapped portion is large, heat may be conducted to these when the refrigerant pipe 8 or the electric wiring 11 is disposed in the vicinity of the portion. In addition, when the portion is arranged at a position close to the compressor 9, the heat of the compressor 9 is easily transmitted.

したがって本例のように、位置決め33bを、コア材41が前記外被材の平面投影面の中央より一の周縁部側にずらして配置されるように備えるように構成する。すなわち、外被材31の四辺は、この外被材の一辺を構成する開口部32と、位置決め33bが設けられ、前記開口部32と対向する奥側の一辺及び左右側の両辺の三辺と、により構成されるものにおいて、位置決め33を三辺の周縁部より中央側であって、かつ左右側の一辺のいずれかの方向にずらして構成する。   Therefore, as in the present example, the positioning member 33b is configured so that the core material 41 is arranged so as to be shifted to the one peripheral edge side from the center of the flat projection surface of the jacket material. That is, the four sides of the jacket material 31 are provided with an opening 32 that constitutes one side of the jacket material, and a positioning 33b, and one side on the far side facing the opening 32 and three sides of the left and right sides. In this configuration, the positioning 33 is shifted from one of the left and right sides on the center side with respect to the peripheral portion of the three sides.

上記の構成によれば、真空断熱材稜線部30aを覆う折り返し部30bは、左右側で異なる大きさとなる。したがって、上述の折り返されて重ねられる部分の面積の小さい方は熱の伝導が小さくなる。この稜線部を、冷媒配管8や電気配線11の近傍に真空断熱材を配置する場合に、冷媒配管8や電気配線11と近い方の稜線部とすることによって、冷媒配管8や電気配線11への熱伝導や圧縮機9からの熱伝導を小さくすることができる。   According to said structure, the folding | returning part 30b which covers the vacuum heat insulating material ridgeline part 30a becomes a magnitude | size which differs on the left-right side. Therefore, the smaller the area of the folded and overlapped portion, the smaller the heat conduction. When this vacuum ridge is placed in the vicinity of the refrigerant pipe 8 or the electrical wiring 11, the ridge line section is made closer to the refrigerant pipe 8 or the electrical wiring 11, so that the refrigerant pipe 8 or the electrical wiring 11 is connected. Heat conduction and heat conduction from the compressor 9 can be reduced.
