Abstract

Disclosed are a vacuum insulation panel, a method for manufacturing the same and an insulation box having the same. By cutting the core material correspondingly to shape and thickness of the absorbent without cut of the core material and pressing the absorbent securing part to form the groove for placing the absorbent therein, the vacuum insulation panel prevents partial deterioration of heat transmission caused by the cutoff of the core material or deterioration of the smoothness caused by placing the absorbent above the core material or between the core materials. Particularly, it is possible to prevent the phenomenon that the periphery is pressed together, which is shown in a conventional press process, to thereby improve the smoothness by cutting the core material in shape and depth corresponding to the shape and thickness of the absorbent prior to the press of the absorbent securing part. Therefore, it is possible to provide an energy saving insulation box by reducing generation of wrinkle or poor sealing of the surface material of the vacuum insulation panel to thereby increase insulation efficiency of the vacuum insulation panel for a long time.

Claims (27)

1. A vacuum insulation panel, comprising:

a core material;

a surface material for covering the core material; and

an absorbent placed in a securing part of the core material,

wherein the securing part of the core material is a groove formed by cutting the core material in shape and depth corresponding to shape and thickness of the absorbent and pressing the cut portion,

wherein the surface material is a multilayer film which includes a thermal bonding layer, a gas barrier layer, a first protective layer and a second protective layer, and

wherein the first protective layer is a polyamide layer and the second protective layer is a polyethylene terephthalate film (K-PET) of which outside is coated with polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC).

2. The vacuum insulation panel as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the core material is a glass fiber board, a glass wool or a stacked body of one or more selected therefrom.

3. The vacuum insulation panel as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the stacked body is a stacked body of glass wool.

4. The vacuum insulation panel as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the core material is decompressively sealed between the surface materials.

5. The vacuum insulation panel as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the thermal bonding layer is made of one or more resin selected from the group consisting of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), very low density polyethylene (VLDPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE).

6. The vacuum insulation panel as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the thermal bonding layer is made of LLDPE.

7. The vacuum insulation panel as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the gas barrier layer is a metal foil layer or a plastic film deposited with metal.

8. The vacuum insulation panel as set forth in claim 7 , wherein the metal used in the metal foil layer or the plastic film deposited with metal is aluminum.

9. The vacuum insulation panel as set forth in claim 7 , wherein the plastic film deposited with metal is made of one or more resin selected from the group consisting of polyamide, polyimide, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl alcohol and ethylene vinyl alcohol.

10. The vacuum insulation panel as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the gas barrier layer includes an aluminum foil and an ethylene vinyl alcohol film.

11. The vacuum insulation panel as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the absorbent is calcium oxide.

12. The vacuum insulation panel as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the absorbent is packaged in a packaging material.

13. The vacuum insulation panel as set forth in claim 12 , wherein the packaging material includes one or more layer selected from the group consisting of water resisting paper layer, air permeable polyethylene layer, air permeable polypropylene layer and air permeable polyethylene propylene layer.

14. The vacuum insulation panel as set forth in claim 12 , wherein the packaging material is a stacked film including water resisting paper layer and air permeable polypropylene layer.

15. A method of manufacturing a vacuum insulation panel, which includes:

a core material;

a surface material for covering the core material; and

an absorbent placed in a securing part of the core material,

wherein the securing part of the core material is formed by cutting the core material in shape and depth corresponding to shape and thickness of the absorbent and pressing the cut portion,

wherein the surface material is a multilayer film which includes a thermal bonding layer, a gas barrier layer, a first protective layer and a second protective layer, and

wherein the first protective layer is a polyamide layer and the second protective layer is a polyethylene terephthalate film (K-PET) of which outside is coated with polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC).
