[Prior Art] Generally, a rigid polyurethane foam is used as a heat insulating material for household electric refrigerators, freezers, etc. In this case, even the highest thermal conductivity is about 0.013 Kcal / mhr ° C. It is difficult to increase the current volumetric efficiency with foam. In order to eliminate this point, it is called a vacuum heat insulating material, in which fine powder or plastic foam with high continuous porosity is housed inside a non-breathable plastic film, and the inside of the film is evacuated and then the opening of the film is heated. Fused vacuum insulation has been developed. This heat insulating material has a thermal conductivity of 0.004 to 0.006 Kcal / mhr ° C, which is three times better than conventional polyurethane foam.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a conventional vacuum heat insulating material disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-52261, in which (1) is a bag, (2) is a heat insulating material, and (5) is a metal intermediate material. The layer, (6) is a plastic surface layer, and (7) is an adhesive layer. However, since the surface of this vacuum heat insulating material is a plastic film, its strength is weak, and a surface material (not shown) is required when forming a box structure using the vacuum heat insulating material. , A steel plate or a synthetic resin is attached to a plastic film by using a double-sided adhesive tape or an adhesive agent, and the gap formed between the heat insulating materials has to be filled with polyurethane foam or the like for use. During this process, the plastic film on the surface of the vacuum heat insulating material is easily scratched, and if the scratch is a pinhole, the air gradually intrudes into the inside from that location and it takes several hours to reach the atmospheric pressure inside. Therefore, in many cases, polyurethane foam or the like was filled without noticing the slow leak. Even in such a stock state of the previous process, when foreign substances are mistakenly mixed between the vacuum heat insulating materials and stacked, a slow leak occurs due to scratches caused by friction between the vacuum heat insulating materials when the foreign materials are sharp. However, there are many circumstances in which the leak is difficult to observe from the outside and it is used without any notice. In view of such a situation, as a means for quality control of products, a vacuum pack type vacuum measuring device for a heat insulating material shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-107126 as shown in FIG. 4 has been considered.

In the figure, the vacuum heat insulating material (13) is set on the chamber (9) and the stand (14) incorporated in the chamber, and the vacuum degree in the chamber is reduced to the pressure of the vacuum heat insulating material or less, thereby enclosing the outer envelope. The material (13a) is separated from the filling material and comes into contact with the position sensor (15) installed at the upper part to start further expansion so that the displacement can be read externally by the indicator outside the chamber. It was thought out.

With this device, if the relationship between the displacement of the plastic film and the degree of vacuum is grasped beforehand, it is possible to remove products below the product management standard.
