Vacuum insulation panel
The present invention relates to a vacuum insulation panel to be used as an insulation material, which panel has an improved structure to improve insulation properties over conventional vacuum insulation panels filed with fillers within outer plates. The present panel includes a spacer within vacuumed space, thereby supporting the structure of outer plate against atmospheric pressure and minimizing conductive thermal transfer.
1. A vacuum insulation panel comprising:
an outer upper plate combined with a wrinkled plate and a flat plate in turn with a space defined therein;
an outer lower plate bonded and combined with the wrinkled plate and the flat plate in turn with the outer upper plate at the edges thereof;
a vacuum space defined between the outer upper plate and the outer lower plate;
a spacer provided within the vacuum space for preventing the outer upper plate and the outer lower plate from being deformed by external pressure; and
a getter portion disposed over an entire inner surface of the outer upper plate,
wherein the spacer has a circular cross section and is disposed longitudinally and formed by a plurality of spacers to cause one side of each of the plurality of spacers to be in contact with the flat side of the inner surface of the outer upper plate and the other side of each of the plurality of spacers is attached to the flat side of the inner surface of the outer lower plate.
2. The vacuum insulation panel according to claim 1 , wherein the getter portion is formed on a side of a sheet and the other side of the sheet is attached to the inner surface of the outer upper plate.
3. A vacuum insulation panel comprising:
an outer upper plate combined with a wrinkled plate and a flat plate in turn with a space defined therein;
an inner flat plate a side of which is bonded with the outer upper plate at the edges thereof;
an upper vacuum space defined between the outer upper plate and the inner plate;
an upper spacer provided within the upper vacuum space for preventing the outer upper plate from being deformed by external force;
an upper getter portion disposed over an entire inner surface of the outer upper plate;
an outer lower plate combined with the wrinkled plate and the flat plate in turn with a space defined therein, the outer lower plate being bonded to the other side of the inner flat plate at the edges thereof;
a lower vacuum space defined between the outer lower plate and the inner flat plate;
a lower spacer provided within the lower vacuum space for preventing the outer lower plate from being deformed by external force; and
a lower getter portion disposed over an entire inner surface of the outer lower plate,
wherein the upper spacer has a circular cross section and is disposed longitudinally and formed by a plurality of spacers to cause one side of each of the plurality of spacers to be in contact with the flat side of the inner surface of the outer upper plate and the other side of each of the plurality of spacers is attached to the upper surface of the inner flat plate, and
wherein the lower spacer has a circular cross section and is disposed longitudinally and formed by a plurality of spacers to cause one side of each of the plurality of spacers to be in contact with the flat side of the inner surface of the outer lower plate and the other side of each of the plurality of spacers is attached to the lower surface of the inner flat plate.
4. The vacuum insulation panel according to claim 3 , wherein the upper and lower getter portions are formed by disposing getters on one side of a sheet and attaching the other side of the sheet to the inner surfaces of the outer upper and lower plates.
