Magnetic gasket and cooling apparatus
The cooling apparatus includes: a thermal insulation box; a door; and a magnetic gasket, the magnetic gasket having: a magnet; a magnet retaining part; and a heat insulation sheet being provided between the magnet and the magnet retaining part and being provided, in a closed state in which the opening is closed by the door, on a side portion on a side of the door on a peripheral surface of the magnet and on a side portion facing an inner side in a width direction in the closed state on the peripheral surface of the magnet.
1. A cooling apparatus, comprising:
a thermal insulation box that has a housing space with an opening in front and an opening end surface enclosing the opening and facing frontward;
a door capable of opening and closing the opening, the door being attached to the thermal insulation box; and
a magnetic gasket attached to an inside peripheral portion of the door facing the opening end surface while the opening is closed, the magnetic gasket including:
a magnet;
a magnet retainer that retains the magnet; and
a heat insulation sheet being provided between the magnet and the magnet retainer, wherein
the magnet has a door-side flat surface which faces the door in a closed state in which the opening is closed by the door, an opening-side surface which faces the opening end surface in the closed state, and a compartment inner-side surface connecting the door-side flat surface and the opening-side surface on an inner side in a width direction of the thermal insulation box in the closed state,
the compartment inner-side surface is a single curved surface which faces in a direction that gradually changes from a direction facing the door to a direction facing the opening in the closed state,
the heat insulation sheet is formed from one sheet with a constant thickness, and is attached to the door-side flat surface and the opening-side surface.
2. The cooling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the thermal insulation box includes a heat radiator embedded therein, the heat radiator being located on an outer side in the width direction of the magnet in the closed state.
3. The cooling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein,
the compartment inner-side surface has the largest radius of curvature on the peripheral surfaces of the magnet.
4. The cooling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the heat insulation sheet is formed of a material including xerogel or aerogel.
5. The cooling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the heat insulation sheet is bent and provided over the door-side flat surface, the compartment inner-side surface and a compartment outer-side surface, the compartment outer-side surface connecting the door-side flat surface and the opening-side surface on an outer side in the width direction in the closed state.
6. The cooling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the heat insulation sheet is bent and provided over the door-side flat surface, the compartment inner-side surface, the opening-side surface and a compartment outer-side surface, the compartment outer-side surface connecting the door-side flat surface and the opening-side surface on an outer side in the width direction in the closed state.
