DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to better explain the present invention and facilitate understanding, the present invention is described in detail below through specific implementation methods in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a shell-type vacuum door body of the present invention includes an outer shell 1, a core material 2, a bottom shell 3 and a frame 4; the outer shell 1 includes a connecting frame 11, a first connecting surface 111 is formed on the connecting frame 11, and a first groove 12 is formed in the outer shell 1; the lower part of the core material 2 is arranged in the first groove 12; the bottom shell 3 is formed by punching or blistering a barrier film, and a second groove 31 for accommodating the upper part of the core material 2 is formed in the bottom shell 3, a connecting edge 32 is formed on the side of the bottom shell 3, and the lower part of the connecting edge 32 is arranged on the first connecting surface 111; a vacuum cavity is formed between the bottom shell 3 and the outer shell 1, and the core material 2 is located in the vacuum cavity.

[0032] A second connecting surface 41 is formed at the bottom of the frame 4 . The outer side of the second connecting surface 41 is connected to the first connecting surface 111 , and the inner side of the second connecting surface 41 is connected to the upper part of the connecting edge 32 . A door sealing groove 5 is formed between the inner side of the frame 4 and the bottom shell 3 .

[0033] Thus, the shell-type vacuum door body involved in the present invention is manufactured by placing the lower portion of the core material 2 in the first groove 12, buckling the bottom shell 3 on the core material 2 so that the upper portion of the core material 2 is located in the second groove 31, and then applying force to the bottom shell 3 to compress the core material 2, fixing the first connecting surface 111 and the lower portion of the connecting edge 32 together, and then fixing the second connecting surface 41 to the upper portion of the connecting edge 32 and the first connecting surface 111 to fix the frame 4 to the outer shell 1, and finally vacuuming the core material 2 to complete the manufacture of the shell-type vacuum door body. Therefore, the bottom shell 3 of the present invention is formed by punching or vacuum forming a barrier film, thereby reducing the amount of barrier film used. The shell-type vacuum door body is formed by vacuuming as a whole, and does not require glue to fix the vacuum insulation panel, and the overall cost is low.

[0034] Furthermore, a sealing strip 6 is provided in the door sealing groove 5. By providing the sealing strip 6, after the frame 4 is fixed to the outer shell 1, a door sealing groove 5 is formed between the inner side of the frame 4 and the bottom shell 3. After the sealing strip 6 is fixed in the door sealing groove 5, the sealing strip 6 acts as a seal to prevent cold air from leaking out of the refrigerator, and can prevent outside air from entering the refrigerator and affecting the quality of food.

[0035] In this embodiment, the outer shell 1 is convexly formed into an arc-shaped portion 13. The arc-shaped portion 13 increases the overall strength of the outer shell 1 and prevents the outer shell 1 from deforming when the opening is vacuumed. The outer shell 1 can be made of metal, and the connecting frame 11 is formed by bending the outer shell 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the material of the core material 2 is ultrafine rock wool or ultrafine glass wool. Ultrafine glass wool also includes centrifugal wool, chopped strands, etc., and is mainly composed of one or more materials such as glass fiber, ceramic fiber, rock wool fiber, etc. In another embodiment, the core material 2 includes an air-permeable and impermeable powder bag and a powdered material. The powdered material is arranged in the air-permeable and impermeable powder bag, wherein the powdered material is expanded perlite or fumed silica. Furthermore, an adsorbent 21 is provided on the core material 2 to absorb water vapor retained in the core material 2. Preferably, the frame 4 is made of a material with low thermal conductivity, such as a frame made of polyethylene plastic or polypropylene plastic. The frame 4 made of a material with low thermal conductivity can serve as a thermal bridge at the edge of the door body.

[0037] As an example, the outer side of the bottom shell 3 is provided with an air extraction hole 33 for facilitating air extraction. The air extraction hole 33 is sealed by a barrier sealing film. The provision of the air extraction hole 33 facilitates the vacuuming of the core material 2 through the air extraction hole 33. After the vacuum is extracted, the core material 2 is sealed by the barrier sealing film. Of course, the entire structure can also be placed directly in a vacuum chamber for vacuuming.

[0038] To improve the extraction efficiency of the extraction holes 33, a fiberglass mesh 7 is provided on the inner sidewall and bottom of the bottom shell 3, thereby forming a flow channel on the inner sidewall and bottom of the bottom shell 3, facilitating the rapid extraction of gas from the core material 2. To prevent the bottom shell 3 from being scratched, an anti-scratch layer is provided on the outside of the bottom shell 3.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first connecting surface 111, the connecting edge 32, and the second connecting surface 41 are heat-sealed together. For example, a PE layer may be provided on the first connecting surface 111, the connecting edge 32, and the second connecting surface 41. The PE layer is heated to melt the PE layer, thereby heat-sealing the first connecting surface 111, the connecting edge 32, and the second connecting surface 41 together. In this way, the frame 4, the outer shell 1, and the bottom shell 3 are heat-sealed together, achieving a sealed connection between the frame 4, the outer shell 1, and the bottom shell 3. The connecting edge 32 is located between the frame 4 and the outer shell 1, and the frame 4 serves to protect the connecting edge 32.

[0040] Furthermore, a positioning groove 14 is provided on the housing 1, and a positioning block 42 is provided on the frame 4 to be inserted into the positioning groove 14. By providing the positioning groove 14 and the positioning block 42, when assembling the shell-type vacuum door body, the positioning block 42 on the frame 4 is inserted into the positioning groove 14 on the housing 1, so that the frame 4 is accurately positioned and assembled with the housing 1.

[0041] When making the shell-type vacuum door body, when the core material 2 is not compressed, the thickness of the core material 2 is greater than the sum of the depth of the first groove 12 and the depth of the second groove 31. After the core material 2 is placed in the outer shell 1, force is applied to the bottom shell 3 to compress the core material 2, so that after the bottom shell 3 and the outer shell 1 are vacuum-sealed and connected, the outer shell 1 is not easy to deform.

[0042] In order to further reduce the deformation of the outer shell 1 after vacuum heat sealing, reinforcing ribs 15 are provided in the outer shell 1. By providing the reinforcing ribs 15, the strength of the outer shell 1 can be effectively improved, making the outer shell 1 less likely to deform.

[0043] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent transformations made using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in the relevant technical field, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
