Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] However, in the conventional door described above, since an air layer is formed inside the end member provided as a frame member around the four sides of the door body, due to the indoor-outdoor temperature difference, convection occurs inside the end member, resulting in a problem of reducing the heat insulation property.
[0005] In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a door with improved heat insulation property.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0006] The door of the present invention includes a frame body attached to a housing, a door body having a metal outdoor side surface material and an indoor side surface material, and being attached to the frame body so as to be openable and closable, and a closing material for closing the space between the frame body and the door body. In the door, the door body includes a resin end member at least in a part of its four sides, The outdoor-side surface material and the indoor-side surface material are formed by bending the prospective surface portion from the end portion of the finding surface portion. In at least a part of the four circumferences of the door body, an exposed portion is provided between the indoor-side end portion of the prospective surface portion of the outdoor-side surface material and the outdoor-side end portion of the prospective surface portion of the indoor-side surface material, where a part of the prospective surface portion of the end member is exposed. The plugging material is attached to the frame body and abuts against the exposed portion of the end member when the door is closed. The door body has a metal core material disposed within the end member. The position where the abutting portion of the plugging material abuts against the exposed portion is on the outdoor side of the outdoor-side end portion of the prospective surface portion of the indoor-side surface material. The end member exists between the metal core material and the indoor-side surface material. It is characterized by this.
[0007] Further, the door of the present invention is characterized in that a heat insulating material is provided within the end member.
Effect of the Invention
[0008] In the present invention, since a heat insulating material is provided in at least a part of the end members around the door body, convection due to the indoor-outdoor temperature difference within the end members is prevented, and a door with high heat insulation can be provided. Also, since the outside air is blocked by the plugging material, the airtightness is improved by the airtight material, and the position where the abutting portion of the plugging material abuts against the exposed portion of the end member is on the outdoor side of the outdoor-side end portion of the prospective surface portion of the indoor-side surface material, so the thermal influence of the outside air on the indoor-side surface material is reduced, and the heat insulation of the door is improved.

[0015] As shown in Fig. 3, similar to the vertical frame 4 on the hanging side, the part on the door body 2 side of the vertical frame 5 on the door tip side is partitioned into a plurality (4 in the illustrated example) of hollow parts 5a to 5d in the expected direction. Also, the outdoor-side part of the vertical frame 5 has an extension part 5e extending in the finding direction on the side away from the door body 2, and a hollow part 5f adjacent to the hollow part 5d is also partitioned in the extension part 5e.
[0016] 17d, 17e, and 17f are heat insulating materials respectively fitted into the hollow parts 5b, 5c, and 5d on the door body 2 side, and are made of a foaming material such as EPS. 5k is a metal core material such as a steel plate with a U-shaped cross-section. This core material 5k is fitted into the outdoor-side hollow part 5d and fixed to the hollow part 5d with a fixture, double-sided tape, adhesive, etc. not shown. The heat insulating material 17f in the hollow part 5d is fitted and fixed in this metal core material 5k.
[0017] In FIG. 3, the airtight material 18 is attached by fitting its base portion into an airtight material mounting portion 5g formed to protrude from the surface of the vertical frame 5 on the door body 2 side. The heat insulating materials 17d to 17f are located on the outdoor side of the mounting portion of the airtight material 18 in the vertical frame 5 and are respectively disposed in the hollow portions 5b to 5d adjacent to the door body 2. On the other hand, no heat insulating material is disposed in the hollow portion 5a on the indoor side of the mounting portion of the airtight material 18 and in the hollow portion 5f on the outdoor side that is not adjacent to the door body 2. 51 is a pillar that forms a part of the building body that constitutes the opening for attaching the door frame 1.
[0018] As shown in FIG. 4, similar to the vertical frames 4 and 5, the part of the upper frame 6 on the door body 2 side is partitioned into a plurality (three in the illustrated example) of hollow portions 6a to 6c in the indoor-outdoor direction. Further, the outdoor side portion of the upper frame 6 has an extension portion 6d that extends in the finding direction on the side away from the door body 2, and a hollow portion 6e adjacent to the hollow portion 6c is also partitioned in the extension portion 6d.
[0019] 17g and 17h are heat insulating materials respectively fitted into the hollow portions 6b and 6c on the door body 2 side of the upper frame 6 and are made of a foamed material such as EPS.
[0020] In FIG. 4, the airtight material 18 is attached by fitting its base portion into an airtight material mounting portion 6f formed to protrude from the surface of the upper frame 6 on the door body 2 side. The heat insulating materials 17g and 17h are located on the outdoor side of the mounting portion of the airtight material 18 in the upper frame 6 and are respectively disposed in the hollow portions 6b and 6c adjacent to the door body 2. On the other hand, no heat insulating material is disposed in the hollow portion 6a on the indoor side of the mounting portion of the airtight material 18 and in the hollow portion 6e on the outdoor side that is not adjacent to the door body 2. 52 is a cross member that forms a part of the building body that constitutes the opening for attaching the door frame 1.
[0021] As shown in Fig. 5, the lower frame 7 of this embodiment is composed of an outdoor side frame 7a facing the lower surface of the door body 2 and an indoor side frame 7b made of an extruded material of a metal material such as an aluminum alloy. The space between these outdoor side frame 7a and indoor side frame 7b is connected by a heat insulating material 7c made of rubber or resin. L1 indicates the level of the ground on the outdoor side of this door. The level L1 of this ground is set at the same level as the upper surface of the lower frame 7 facing the lower surface of the door body 2 or at a position slightly lower than that level. L2 indicates the level of the earthen floor on the indoor side where this door is installed. The level L2 is set at approximately the same level as the upper surface of a rubber protective material 24 provided on the upper surface of the indoor side portion of the lower frame 7. The protective material 24 is provided to prevent the upper surface of the lower frame 7 from being damaged due to adhesion of sand or the like and to prevent condensation.
[0022] The outdoor side frame 7a of the lower frame 7 is covered with a metal cover 40 made of stainless steel plate or the like and fixed to the lower frame 7 with fixtures 44 such as rivets and screws. The indoor side frame 7b has an upright upper portion 7b1 facing the indoor side of the door body 2, and an airtight material 18 that abuts against the indoor side surface of the door body 2 is attached to the upright upper portion 7b1.
[0023] In the lower frame 7 of this embodiment, the outdoor side frame 7a is formed with a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape. The metal cover 40 is composed of a lower surface portion 40a that covers the outdoor side portion below the lower surface portion 7a1 of the outdoor side frame 7a, a finding surface portion 40b that covers the finding surface portion 7a2 which is the outdoor side vertical surface of the outdoor side frame 7a, and an upper surface portion 40c that covers the upper surface portion 7a3 of the outdoor side frame 7a. The indoor side end portion 40d of the metal cover 40 is positioned on the heat insulating material 7c.
[0024] In this embodiment, an extruded material of a metal material is used as the material of the lower frame 7 in order to make it difficult for deformation or the like to occur when a human load is applied to the lower frame 7. Also, by using stainless steel with a higher hardness than the outdoor side frame 7a and indoor side frame 7b which are extruded materials as the metal cover 40, damage to the lower frame 7 due to adhesion of sand or the like can be prevented, and a decrease in appearance can be prevented. However, a resin extruded material may also be used for this lower frame 7.
[0025] Next, the configuration of the door body 2 and its mounting structure to the frame body 1 will be described. The door body 2 includes a metal outdoor surface material 8 and an indoor surface material 9 made of a steel plate or the like, and end members 10, 11, 12, 13 provided at the suspension side end (FIG. 2), the door tip side end (FIG. 3), the upper end (FIG. 4), and the lower end (FIG. 5) of the door body 2, respectively.
[0026] Among these end members 10 to 13, the end members 10, 12, and 13 are made of a resin material. Also, among these end members, the end member 10 on the suspension side has a rectangular hollow shape, and the end members 12 and 13 at the upper end and the lower end have a U-shaped cross section.
[0027] On the other hand, the end member 11 on the door tip side shown in FIG. 3 has a cross-sectional shape of an L shape for attaching the door tip side cover 14, and is composed of two resin plate materials 15, 15 respectively arranged at the indoor and outdoor corner portions, a metal outdoor side core material 19 such as a steel material provided therebetween, and a resin indoor side core material 20 fixed to the indoor side of this core material 19 by a double-sided tape or the like. Then, the end member 11 is covered with the door tip side cover 14, and the door tip side cover 14 is fixed to the core material 19 by a fixing tool such as a rivet or a screw (not shown), thereby attaching the door tip side cover 14 to the door body 2. 22 is a resin or rubber plug attached to the outdoor side of the door tip side cover 14, and is brought into contact with the outdoor side finding surface 38a of the metal cover 38 of the door tip side vertical frame 5 to assist in suppressing the intrusion of outside air.
[0028] As shown in FIG. 2, the end member 10 on the suspension side of the door body 2 has an exposed portion 10a that protrudes outward in the finding direction of the door body 2 as a part thereof. With respect to the end member 10 on the suspension side of the door body 2, the outdoor surface material 8 and the indoor surface material 9 do not cover the exposed portion 10a, and have a shape formed by bending the prospective surface portions 8b and 9b in an L shape and shortening them from the ends of the finding surface portions 8a and 9a. The surface materials 8 and 9 are fixed to the end member 10 by rivets (not shown) and adhered by an adhesive at the prospective surface portions 8b and 9b.
[0029] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, at the upper and lower ends of the door body 2, the prospective surface portions 8b and 9b of the surface materials 8 and 9 extend to near the central portion in the prospective direction of the door body 2, that is, longer than the prospective surface portions 8b and 9b on the suspension side shown in FIG. 2, and are fixed to the end members 12 and 13 by rivets or adhesives (not shown).
[0030] In FIGS. 2, 4, and 5, 17k, 17m, and 17n are heat insulating materials disposed and fixed within the end members 10, 12, and 13 respectively, and are provided to improve the heat insulation performance at the ends of the door body 2. The materials of these heat insulating materials 17k, 17m, and 17n are not particularly limited, but preferably, block-shaped heat insulating materials of the same material as the heat insulating materials 17a to 17h accommodated in the frame body 1 are used.
[0031] 17p is a panel-shaped heat insulating material (heat insulating panel) that constitutes the door body 2 together with the end members 10 to 13 and the surface materials 8 and 9. This heat insulating material 17p is accommodated and fixed by adhesion in a frame assembled in a box shape by the outdoor side surface material 8, the indoor side surface material 9, and the end members 10 to 13. The heat insulating material 17p may be of the same material as the heat insulating materials 17a to 17n or a material with higher heat insulation performance than these, for example, a phenolic foam heat insulating board (manufactured by Asahi Kasei Building Materials Corporation, trade name: Neo Mafoam (Neo is a registered trademark)).
[0032] Next, the mounting structure on the suspension side of the door body 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 2. 25 is a core material made of metal such as steel for reinforcing the suspension side of the door body 2. This core material 25 has an L-shaped cross-sectional shape and is disposed inside the hollow end member 10 between the outdoor corner portion 10c and the indoor corner portion 10d in the indoor-outdoor direction. 32 is a back plate for coupling to the mounting plate 3b of the hinge 3 described later. The core material 25 is attached to the end member 10 by fixing this back plate 32 to the core material 25 and then coupling it to the prospective surface portion 10b of the end member 10 with mounting screws or the like (not shown).
[0033] The reason for making the cross-sectional shape of this core material 25 into a substantially L-shape having a prospective surface portion 25b and a locating surface portion 25c and fixing it inside the outdoor corner portion 10c of the end member 10 is to suppress heat transfer to the side where there is no corner of the L-shape in the substantially L-shaped cross-sectional shape by this core material 25 and the end is facing. That is, by positioning the metal core material 25 inside the outdoor side of the end member 10 and positioning the narrow end portion 25a of the prospective surface portion 25b of the core material 25 on the indoor side, the heat transfer area of the core material 25 to the indoor side is narrowed to suppress heat transfer by the core material 25. Further, by positioning the indoor side end portion 25a of the core material 25 outside the outdoor side end portion 9b1 of the prospective surface portion 9b of the indoor side surface material 9, heat transfer between the core material 25 and the indoor side surface material 9 is suppressed, enhancing the heat insulation property.
[0034] The hinge 3 has a frame side mounting plate 3a and a door body side mounting plate 3b. 28 is a screw for hinge mounting for mounting the frame side mounting plate 3a to the vertical frame 4. By passing this screw 28 for hinge mounting through the door body side mounting plate 3a and a through hole provided in the prospective surface portion 4m on the door body side of the vertical frame 4 and screwing and fastening it to a screw hole of a back plate 29 fixed in a core material 4k fixed inside the hollow portion 4d, the frame side mounting plate 3a is fixed to the vertical frame 4.
[0035] 31 is a screw for hinge mounting for fixing the door body side mounting plate 3b to the door body 2. By passing this screw 31 for hinge mounting through the door body side mounting plate 3b and through holes provided in the prospective surface portion 10b of the end member 10 and the core material 25, and for some of the screws 31 also through the prospective surface portion 8b of the outdoor side surface material 8 of the door body 2, and screwing and fastening it to a screw hole of a back plate 32 applied to the back side of the core material 25, the door body side mounting plate 3b is fixed to the door body 2.
[0036] 35 is a sealing material that closes the gap between the vertical frame 4 of the frame body 1 and the door body 2 to assist in suppressing the intrusion of outside air. This sealing material 35 is made of rubber or resin. In this embodiment, the contact portion 35a that contacts the door body 2 and bends is constituted by a fin. This sealing material 35 is fixed and attached to the prospective surface portion 4m of the vertical frame 4 on the door body side by a fixture such as a rivet 36. In the state where the door is closed, as shown in the figure, the contact portion 35a of the sealing material 35 contacts the exposed portion 10a of the prospective surface of the end member 10 to close the gap between the vertical frame 4 and the door body 2. In this way, by bringing the contact portion 35a of the sealing material 35 into contact with the exposed portion 10a of the end member 10, the indoor side surface material 9 of the door body 2 is blocked by the sealing material 35. Therefore, in addition to improving the airtightness by the airtight material 18, the thermal influence of the outside air on the indoor side surface material 9 is reduced, and the heat insulation performance is improved. Also, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, a region 60 that is blocked from the outside and the inside is formed by the airtight material 18, the sealing material 35, and the door body 2.
[0037] As described above, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2, 4, and 5, since the heat insulating materials 17k, 17m, and 17n are provided in the end members 10, 12, and 13 respectively, convection due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of each end member 10, 12, and 13 is prevented, the heat insulation performance of the end members 10, 12, and 13 is improved, and the heat insulation performance of the door body 2 is improved.
[0038] Also, in this embodiment, since resin materials with high heat insulation performance are used for the end members 10, 12, and 13, the heat insulation performance can be further improved.
[0039] When providing heat insulating materials inside the end members 10, 12, and 13, the ends of the panel-shaped heat insulating material 17p arranged inside the surface materials 8 and 9 may be arranged in a form where they are fitted into the end members 10, 12, and 13, or the end members 10, 12, and 13 may be filled by injecting a heat insulating material having fluidity. However, as shown in this embodiment, by arranging the block-shaped heat insulating materials 17k, 17m, and 17n, which are separate from the panel-shaped heat insulating material 17, inside the end members 10, 12, and 13 respectively, the end members 10, 12, and 13 and the heat insulating material 17p can be assembled in separate processes, making the production easier.
[0040] In the above embodiment, since the end member 10 is formed in a hollow shape, the strength can be enhanced. However, as shown in FIG. 6, the end member 10X on the suspension side may have a U-shaped cross-sectional shape. In FIG. 6, the end member 10X includes an outdoor corner portion 10X1 and an indoor corner portion 10X2.
[0041] Although the present invention has been described based on the embodiments, when implementing the present invention, as the frame body 1, materials and configurations other than those shown in the above embodiments can be used. Additionally, when implementing the present invention, various modifications and additions can be made to the constituent members and their combinations without departing from the gist of the present invention.
