[0001] Cross-reference to Related Applications

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202410454966.6, filed on April 16, 2024, entitled “Core material for vacuum insulation panel, vacuum insulation panel and preparation method and application thereof”, and Chinese Patent Application No. 202410454973.6, filed on April 16, 2024, entitled “Core material for vacuum insulation panel, vacuum insulation panel and preparation method and application thereof”, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The present application belongs to the technical field of functional materials, and specifically relates to a core material for a vacuum insulation panel, a vacuum insulation panel, and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0004] In household appliances with refrigeration or heating functions (such as refrigerators), it is often necessary to use thermal insulation materials. Traditional thermal insulation materials such as polyurethane rigid foam materials (or rigid polyurethane foam materials) are increasingly difficult to meet higher design and energy consumption requirements.

[0005] Vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) have good thermal insulation performance and can replace a portion of polyurethane rigid foam materials to reduce energy consumption while increasing the usable volume. A vacuum insulation panel is composed of a general core material, a barrier film material, a getter, and a desiccant. The core material of the vacuum insulation panel generally includes one or more of powders (fumed silica or fumed silicon dioxide, etc.), foams (polyurethane foam, polystyrene foam, etc.), inorganic fibers (glass fibers, etc.), and organic fibers (polyester fibers, etc.). The core material of the vacuum insulation panel must have a very high porosity, can be well evacuated, and has a certain structural strength.

[0006] The core material for a vacuum insulation panel prepared using glass fibers (such as artificial glass fibers) has some major drawbacks. First, using glass fibers requires cutting during the production of the core material, which can result in a large amount of glass fiber dust adhering to the skin and mucous membranes, and can cause strong irritation. Second, the glass fiber industry is a high-energy and high-pollution industry, and the location of its production plants is strictly limited.

[0007] A vacuum insulation panel with polyurethane foam as the core material cannot achieve an ideal vacuum state because the polyurethane foam has a low open porosity and the pore size is difficult to control. Moreover, the foam is a whole, and the contact heat transfer proportion is high.

[0008] The vacuum heat insulation board with the powder such as gas silicon as the core material has more contact points of powder particles and higher contact heat conduction under low vacuum degree.

[0009] Therefore, there is still a need to develop a new core material for vacuum heat insulation board and a vacuum heat insulation board. SUMMARY

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments.

It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

[0070] Unless otherwise indicated herein, or in the context of a contradiction with the context, all methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order.

[0071] The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g., "such as") provided herein, is intended merely to better illuminate the application and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the application unless otherwise indicated. No language in the specification should be construed as indicating any element is essential.

[0072] Unless otherwise indicated, conventional conditions or manufacturer's recommended conditions are employed in the examples.

[0073] In household appliances with refrigeration or heating functions, such as refrigerators, it is often necessary to use thermal insulation materials. Traditional thermal insulation materials, such as polyurethane rigid foam materials, have a thermal conductivity of 19 mW / (m·K) to 23 mW / (m·K). However, in the face of increasingly stringent low-energy requirements, current thermal insulation materials are increasingly difficult to meet higher design and energy consumption requirements.

[0074] Vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) have good thermal insulation performance and can replace a portion of polyurethane rigid foam materials, thereby reducing energy consumption while increasing the usable volume.

[0075] A vacuum insulation panel is composed of a general core material, a barrier film material, a getter, and a desiccant. The core material, getter, and desiccant are placed in a bag of barrier film material, vacuumed, and then heat-sealed to obtain a vacuum insulation panel.

[0076] The core material of a vacuum insulation panel generally includes one or more of powders (fumed silica or fumed silica), foams (polyurethane foam, polystyrene foam, etc.), inorganic fibers (glass fibers, etc.), and organic fibers (polyester fibers, etc.). The core material of a vacuum insulation panel must have a very high porosity, can be well vacuumed, and have a certain structural strength. The barrier film material of a vacuum insulation panel mainly includes a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) layer, an aluminum-coated film layer, and a polyethylene (PE) adhesive layer. The barrier film material can well block the penetration of some gases and water vapor, but cannot completely achieve complete isolation. Therefore, a getter and a desiccant are usually added to improve the performance of the vacuum insulation panel and extend its service life.

[0077] The core material of a vacuum insulation panel prepared using glass fibers (e.g., man-made glass fibers) has a very high porosity and a low thermal conductivity. At the same time, glass fibers have the advantages of high temperature resistance, fire resistance, and low cost. Glass fibers can well meet the requirements of low energy consumption and high volume for thermal insulation equipment, and have become the mainstream material in the market.

[0078] However, glass fiber still has some big shortcomings. First, using glass fiber needs to be cut in the process of producing core material, which can cause a large amount of glass fiber dust to adhere to the skin and mucous membrane and produce strong irritation. The glass fiber industry belongs to a high energy consumption and high pollution industry, and the location of its production plant is strictly limited.

[0079] The vacuum insulation panel with polyurethane foam as the core material cannot be vacuumed to the ideal state due to the low open porosity of the polyurethane foam and the difficulty in controlling the pore size. Moreover, the foam is a whole, and the contact heat transfer accounts for a high proportion, so that the thermal conductivity is difficult to reach below 6.0 mW / (m·K). The vacuum insulation panel with powder such as aerogel as the core material has a large number of contact points of powder particles under low vacuum, and the contact heat transfer is high, so that the thermal conductivity is in the range of 4 mW / (m·K) to 6 mW / (m·K). They cannot meet the demand of large capacity and low energy consumption of thermal insulation equipment.

[0080] To at least partially solve one of the above technical problems, some embodiments of the present application provide a core material for a vacuum insulation panel, the core material for the vacuum insulation panel comprising aramid fibers and a bonding material, the aramid fibers comprising at least one of poly-m-phenylene isophthalamide fibers, poly-p-phenylene terephthalamide fibers, and heterocyclic aramid fibers; the aramid fibers having a length of 1 mm to 10 mm.

[0081] For the purpose of explanation but not limitation, the term "aramid fiber" used herein refers to an aromatic polyamide fiber. The term "poly-m-phenylene isophthalamide fiber" used herein can be used alternatively interchangeably with "meta-aramid". The term "poly-p-phenylene terephthalamide fiber" used herein can be used alternatively interchangeably with "para-aramid". The term "heterocyclic aramid" used herein is co-polymerized from three monomers of p-phenylenediamine, terephthaloyl chloride and a diamine containing a heterocycle, which can be used alternatively interchangeably with "aramid III".

[0082] The core material for the vacuum insulation panel according to the embodiments of the present application can form gaps between the aramid fibers during the process of the present application, so that the core material for the vacuum insulation panel has a high porosity and can have a good thermal insulation effect. The aramid fibers with a length of 1 mm to 10 mm according to the present application have a light texture and a good thermal conductivity, which can meet the requirements of large capacity and low energy consumption of thermal insulation devices.

[0083] The core material for the vacuum insulation panel according to the embodiments of the present application uses aramid fibers with an intrinsic thermal conductivity of only 130 mW / (m·K), which is one tenth of the thermal conductivity of glass fiber (the intrinsic thermal conductivity of glass fiber is 800-1500 mW / (m·K)), and the aramid fibers themselves have high thermal insulation performance.

[0084] The core material for vacuum insulation panels according to the embodiments of the present application uses aramid fibers which have higher strength than glass fibers due to the benzene ring structure containing conjugated double bonds on the main chain of macromolecules, and has a structure similar to that of a glass fiber core material after being made into a core material, with point contact between fibers, greatly reducing contact heat transfer, and an air permeability of 6000 to 7000 L / m 2 / s, and has very high porosity, and is easy to be vacuumized to prepare a vacuum insulation panel.

The mass fraction of the binding fiber is, for example, ≤ 35%, ≤ 34%, ≤ 33%, ≤ 32%, ≤ 31%, ≤ 30%, ≤ 29%, ≤ 28%, ≤ 27%, ≤ 26%, ≤ 25%, ≤ 24%, ≤ 23%, ≤ 22%, ≤ 21%, ≤ 20%, ≤ 19%, ≤ 18%, ≤ 17%, ≤ 16%, ≤ 15%, ≤ 14%, ≤ 13%, ≤ 12%, ≤ 11%, ≤ 10%, ≤ 9%, ≤ 8%, ≤ 7%, ≤ 6%, ≤ 5%, ≤ 4%, ≤ 3%, ≤ 2%, ≤ 1% based on the mass of the aramid fibers.

[0105] Alternatively, the binding material is a binder. The mass fraction of the binder is, for example, ≤ 10%, ≤ 9%, ≤ 8%, ≤ 7%, ≤ 6%, ≤ 5%, ≤ 4%, ≤ 3%, ≤ 2%, ≤ 1% based on the mass of the aramid fibers.

[0106] The binding material according to embodiments of the application can make the aramid fibers easy to handle during production and operation, and improve the production efficiency.

[0107] Some embodiments of the application provide a vacuum insulation panel, which comprises the above-mentioned core material for vacuum insulation panels and a barrier film material, the barrier film material enclosing the core material for vacuum insulation panels.

[0108] The vacuum insulation panel according to the embodiments of the present application, for example, can have an ultra-low thermal conductivity of λ = 1.18 mW / (m·K), and has a performance exceeding that of a vacuum insulation panel having a glass fiber as a core material. Thus, the vacuum insulation panel of the present application has a superior heat-insulating performance over a vacuum insulation panel based on a glass fiber core material, while the core material thereof does not cause pollution during production, and can be widely used in the fields of heat insulation, such as refrigerator heat insulation, residential heat insulation, cold storage heat insulation, heat-insulated box heat insulation, water heater heat insulation, microwave oven heat insulation, and the like.

[0109] In some embodiments of the present application, the vacuum insulation panel further includes a desiccant and / or a getter, and the barrier film material encloses the core material, the desiccant, and / or the getter of the vacuum insulation panel.

[0110] As an example, the vacuum insulation panel further includes a desiccant, and the barrier film material encloses the core material and the desiccant of the vacuum insulation panel. As an example, the amount of the desiccant is 1 g to 10 g, for example, 1 g, 2 g, 3 g, 4 g, 5 g, 6 g, 7 g, 8 g, 9 g, or 10 g, per vacuum insulation panel. As an example, the core material of the vacuum insulation panel is cut to form a recess, and the recess is adapted to hold the desiccant. The desiccant is placed in the recess, and the core material and the desiccant of the vacuum insulation panel are enclosed using the barrier film material, and are sealed after being vacuumed.

[0111] As an example, the vacuum insulation panel further includes a getter, and the barrier film material encloses the core material and the getter of the vacuum insulation panel. As an example, the amount of the getter is 1 g to 10 g, for example, 1 g, 2 g, 3 g, 4 g, 5 g, 6 g, 7 g, 8 g, 9 g, or 10 g, per vacuum insulation panel. As an example, the core material of the vacuum insulation panel is cut to form a recess, and the recess is adapted to hold the getter. The getter is placed in the recess, and the core material and the getter of the vacuum insulation panel are enclosed using the barrier film material, and are sealed after being vacuumed.

[0112] As an example, the vacuum insulation panel further includes a desiccant and a getter, and the barrier film material encloses the core material, the desiccant, and the getter of the vacuum insulation panel. As an example, the mass ratio of the desiccant to the getter is (2 to 6) : 1, for example, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, or 6:1. Without wishing to be bound by theory, in some embodiments of the present application, the core material, the desiccant, and the getter of the vacuum insulation panel are enclosed using the barrier film material, and the desiccant and the getter can be placed at the same position. As an example, the core material of the vacuum insulation panel is cut to form a recess, and the recess is adapted to hold the desiccant and the getter. The desiccant and the getter are both placed in the recess, and the core material, the desiccant, and the getter of the vacuum insulation panel are enclosed using the barrier film material, and are sealed after being vacuumed.

[0113] Referring to FIG. 1, it can be understood that in some embodiments of the present application, the barrier film 2 is used to encapsulate the core material 1 and the desiccant and the getter 3 of the vacuum insulation panel.

[0114] For example, based on each vacuum insulation panel (e.g., about 1 kg to 3 kg, such as 2 kg in weight), the amount of the desiccant is 1 g to 10 g, the amount of the getter is 1 g to 10 g, and the mass ratio of the desiccant to the getter is (2 to 6) : 1, such as 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, or 6:1.

[0115] In combination with the second aspect, in some embodiments of the present application, the desiccant includes at least one of calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, calcium oxide, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and barium oxide. For example, the desiccant is calcium carbonate.

[0116] In some embodiments of the present application, the getter includes at least one of a barium-lithium alloy getter, a palladium oxide getter, and an activated carbon getter. For example, the getter is a barium-lithium alloy getter.

[0117] Generally, the vacuumization of the core material of the vacuum insulation panel cannot completely remove the residual gas and moisture. The use of the desiccant and / or the getter can remove the residual gas and moisture in the vacuum insulation panel and maintain the vacuum degree and the gas-free and moisture-free state in the vacuum insulation panel for a relatively long period of time.

[0118] In some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the vacuum insulation panel is at least 8 mm, such as 8 mm to 30 mm, 8 mm to 10 mm. Specifically, the thickness of the vacuum insulation panel is 8 mm, 8.1 mm, 8.2 mm, 8.3 mm, 8.4 mm, 8.5 mm, 8.6 mm, 8.7 mm, 8.8 mm, 8.9 mm, 9 mm, 9.1 mm, 9.2 mm, 9.3 mm, 9.4 mm, 9.5 mm, 9.6 mm, 9.7 mm, 9.8 mm, 9.9 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, 13 mm, 14 mm, 15 mm, 16 mm, 17 mm, 18 mm, 19 mm, 20 mm, 21 mm, 22 mm, 23 mm, 24 mm, 25 mm, 26 mm, 27 mm, 28 mm, 29 mm, 30 mm, or even thicker.

Specifically, the thermal conductivity of the vacuum insulation panel is ≤ 1.30 mW / (m·K), ≤ 1.20 mW / (m·K), ≤ 1.10 mW / (m·K), ≤ 1.00 mW / (m·K), ≤ 0.9 mW / (m·K), ≤ 0.8 mW / (m·K), ≤ 0.7 mW / (m·K), ≤ 0.6 mW / (m·K), ≤ 0.5 mW / (m·K), ≤ 0.4 mW / (m·K), ≤ 0.3 mW / (m·K).

The sheet is manually separated from the screen to obtain a single sheet. The sheets are sequentially stacked to obtain the core material for the vacuum insulation panel;

[0208] (3) The core material of the vacuum insulation panel was placed in a 210°C oven, dried for 2.5 hours, and then taken out. The core material was then placed in a bag of barrier film material together with the getter (1 g) and the desiccant (4 g), and the bag was sealed in a vacuum sealer to obtain a 9 mm thick vacuum insulation panel.

[0209] Comparative Example 1

[0210] This comparative example used a commercially available 9 mm thick glass fiber core material for vacuum insulation panels. The preparation method was substantially the same as step (3) of Example 5, and is as follows:

[0211] The 9 mm glass fiber core material was placed in a 210°C oven, dried for 2.5 hours, and then taken out. The core material was then placed in a bag of barrier film material together with the getter (0.8 g) and the desiccant (5 g), and the bag was sealed in a vacuum sealer to obtain a vacuum insulation panel.

[0212] Comparative Example 2

[0213] This comparative example used a poly-m-phenylene isophthalamide fiber: bicomponent sheath-core structure polyester fiber = 100:35 (mass ratio), and the remaining process was the same as Example 1.

[0214] The properties of the products prepared in each example and comparative example are shown in Table 1 below.

[0215] Table 1

[0216] The thermal conductivity was measured according to the national standard GB / T 10294 / 10295 using the steady-state heat flow method.

[0217] As can be seen from Table 1, the vacuum insulation panels prepared in the examples of the present application have a more optimal thermal conductivity. Under the same conditions, the thermal conductivity of the vacuum insulation panel prepared using glass fiber is significantly worse than that of the present application.

[0218] In addition, through experiments, if poly-m-phenylene isophthalamide fibers with a length of 0.5 mm are used, the wire screen cannot be made. In addition, too long aramid fibers will result in a poor dispersion state, which is not suitable for the wet process of the present application.

[0219] In addition, through experiments, if neither bonding fibers nor adhesives are added during the preparation of the vacuum insulation panel, although the thermal conductivity is low, the results are the best, but the operability of the production process is poor and the production efficiency is reduced.

[0238] In some embodiments of the present application, the vacuum insulation panel further comprises a desiccant and / or a getter, and the barrier film material encloses the core material for vacuum insulation panel, the desiccant and / or the getter. The description of the desiccant and the getter can refer to the previous embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0239] In some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the vacuum insulation panel is at least 8 mm, for example, 8 mm to 30 mm, 8 mm to 10 mm. Specifically, the thickness of the vacuum insulation panel is 8 mm, 8.1 mm, 8.2 mm, 8.3 mm, 8.4 mm, 8.5 mm, 8.6 mm, 8.7 mm, 8.8 mm, 8.9 mm, 9 mm, 9.1 mm, 9.2 mm, 9.3 mm, 9.4 mm, 9.5 mm, 9.6 mm, 9.7 mm, 9.8 mm, 9.9 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, 13 mm, 14 mm, 15 mm, 16 mm, 17 mm, 18 mm, 19 mm, 20 mm, 21 mm, 22 mm, 23 mm, 24 mm, 25 mm, 26 mm, 27 mm, 28 mm, 29 mm, 30 mm, or even thicker.

[0242] In some embodiments of the present application, the present application provides a method for preparing a core material for a vacuum insulation panel, comprising the following steps:

[0243] (1) The aramid fibers are carded by a carding machine to obtain a non-strength fiber felt; optionally, different thicknesses of non-strength fiber felt can be selected according to the desired fiber non-woven fabric basis weight;

[0244] (2) The fiber felt is obtained by needle punching process or water jet process to obtain a fiber non-woven fabric, and the fiber non-woven fabric is laminated to obtain the core material for the vacuum insulation panel. In addition, the obtained core material for the vacuum insulation panel can be cut into the desired shape and size.

[0245] For the purpose of explanation but not limitation, step (1) belongs to carding method, the specific specification of aramid fibers used in the present application is further dispersed, mixed uniformly, and separated into interlaced single fibers by using the interaction between the paired roller surface needle cloth, and a uniform fiber network is formed by using its own curling and friction. The fiber network has low strength and can be used as a laminated core material for a vacuum insulation panel.

[0246] For the purpose of explanation but not limitation, the needle punching process in step (2) belongs to needle punching method, the specific specification of aramid fibers used in the present application is crimped short fibers, which are formed into a uniform fiber network after carding by a carding machine, and then are cross-laminated to reach the target basis weight, and then are needle punched by a needle punching machine. The needles of the needle punching machine have hooks, which repeatedly pierce the fiber network to hook and reinforce the fibers, forming a needle punched non-woven fabric. The non-woven fabric has no warp and weft, and the fibers are randomly arranged, and the performance of the warp and weft has little difference.

[0247] For the purpose of explanation but not limitation, the hydroentanglement process in step (2) belongs to hydroentanglement, the specific specification of aramid fiber used in the present application is crimped staple fiber, after being carded by a carding machine to form a uniform fiber web, the target gram weight is reached by cross-laying, and then the hydroentanglement is carried out by a hydroentanglement machine. The hydroentanglement nonwoven process produces hydraulic action by continuous jetting of high-pressure water flow, so that the arranged fibers begin to surge, displace and rearrange, and entangle with each other. The fiber web is reinforced under this action and has certain physical and mechanical properties.

[0248] The needle punching ratio or the hydroentanglement ratio in step (2) can be appropriately reduced, and the strength and the needle punching ratio or the hydroentanglement ratio are balanced. The needle punching ratio is 10% to 80%, for example, 15% to 65%, for example, 20% to 50%. The hydroentanglement ratio is 10% to 80%, for example, 15% to 65%, for example, 20% to 50%.

[0249] Alternatively, in some embodiments of the present application, the present application also provides a method for preparing a core material for a vacuum insulation panel, comprising the following steps:

[0250] (1) aramid fiber and binder fiber are carded by a carding machine to obtain a non-strength fiber felt; optionally, different thicknesses of non-strength fiber felts can be selected according to the desired gram weight of the fiber non-woven fabric;

[0251] (2) the fiber felt is obtained by a hot pressing process to obtain a fiber non-woven fabric, and the fiber non-woven fabric is laminated to obtain the core material for the vacuum insulation panel. In addition, the obtained core material for the vacuum insulation panel can be cut to a desired shape and size.

[0252] For the purpose of explanation but not limitation, the hot pressing process in step (2) belongs to hot pressing, the specific specification of aramid fiber used in the present application is crimped staple fiber, which is pre-mixed with low-melting binder fibers (such as polypropylene fibers or polyester fibers, etc.) in a proportion by a coarse opening process, and then further opened and mixed by a fine opening process, and then carded by a carding machine to form a uniform fiber web, and then cross-laid to reach the target gram weight, and then the low-melting fibers are melted by hot pressing and hot rolling, and then cooled to form a non-woven fabric with strength.

[0253] In some embodiments of the present application, the binder fiber comprises at least one of a single component polyester fiber, a single component polyethylene fiber, a single component polyvinyl alcohol fiber, a single component polypropylene fiber, a double component sheath-core structure polyester fiber, a double component sheath-core structure polyethylene fiber, a double component polyethylene-polyester fiber, a double component polypropylene-polyester fiber. For the purpose of explanation but not limitation, the term "double component" as used herein refers to a sheath-core structure, the sheath and the core are different components, for example, both are polyester, and also different melting point polyester, thus called double component. As an example, a double component polyethylene-polyester fiber, the sheath component is polyethylene, and the core component is a polyester fiber. As an example, a double component polypropylene-polyester fiber, the sheath component is polypropylene, and the core component is a polyester fiber. As an example, a double component sheath-core structure polyester fiber, the sheath component and the core component are different melting point polyester fibers. For example, the melting point of the sheath component can be 100-180°C, for example, 130-170°C, for example, 100°C, 120°C, 150°C or 180°C; the melting point of the core component is 240-280°C, for example, 260°C.

[0254] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio of the aramid fiber to the binder fiber is ≥5:1, for example, ≥5:1, ≥5.5:1, ≥6:1, ≥6.5:1, ≥7:1, ≥7.5:1, ≥8:1, ≥8.5:1, ≥9:1, ≥9.5:1, ≥10:1, ≥10.5:1, ≥11:1, ≥12:1, ≥13:1, ≥14:1, ≥15:1.

[0255] In some embodiments of the present application, the obtained core material for vacuum insulated panels can also be cut to become the desired shape and size.

[0256] The present application also provides a core material for vacuum insulated panels prepared according to the method for preparing a core material for vacuum insulated panels.

[0257] In some embodiments of the present application, the present application provides a method for preparing a vacuum insulated panel, comprising the following steps:

[0258] (1) The aramid fiber is carded by a carding machine to obtain a non-strength fiber mat; optionally, according to the desired basis weight of the fiber non-woven fabric, different thicknesses of non-strength fiber mats can be selected for lamination;

[0259] (2) The fiber mat is obtained by needle punching process or water jet process to obtain a fiber non-woven fabric, and the fiber non-woven fabric is laminated to obtain the core material for vacuum insulated panels; in addition, the obtained core material for vacuum insulated panels can also be cut to become the desired shape and size;

[0260] (3) The vacuum insulation board is heat treated with a core material, then sealed with a barrier film material, and vacuumized to obtain the vacuum insulation board. Specifically, the vacuum insulation board core material can be placed in a bag of barrier film material, sealed and vacuumized using a vacuum high-temperature sealing machine, and sealed after the vacuum degree reaches the target vacuum degree.

[0261] For the purpose of explanation rather than limitation, step (1) belongs to carding, which further disperses, mixes evenly, and uses the interaction between the paired roller surface needle cloth to separate the specific specification aramid fiber mass used in this application into single fibers that are interlaced with each other, and forms a uniform fiber network using its own curling and friction. The fiber network has low strength and can be used as a laminate of the core material of the vacuum insulation board.

[0262] For the purpose of explanation rather than limitation, in combination with the fourth aspect, the needle punching process in step (2) belongs to needle punching. The specific specification aramid fiber used in this application is a crimped short fiber. After being carded by a carding machine to form a uniform fiber web, the fiber web is cross-laid to reach the target grammage, and then needle punched by a needle punching machine. The needles of the needle punching machine have hooks that repeatedly pierce the fiber web to reinforce the fibers and form a needle-punched non-woven fabric. The non-woven fabric has no warp and weft, and the fibers are randomly arranged, with little difference between the warp and weft performance.

[0263] For the purpose of explanation rather than limitation, the hydroentanglement process in step (2) belongs to hydroentanglement. The specific specification aramid fiber used in this application is a crimped short fiber. After being carded by a carding machine to form a uniform fiber web, the fiber web is cross-laid to reach the target grammage, and then hydroentangled by a hydroentanglement machine. The hydroentanglement non-woven process uses high-pressure water jets to produce a hydraulic effect, causing the arranged fibers to surge, displace, and rearrange, and entangle with each other. The fiber web is reinforced and has certain physical and mechanical properties under this action.

[0264] The needle punching ratio or hydroentanglement ratio in step (2) can be appropriately reduced, and a balance is struck between strength and needle punching ratio or hydroentanglement ratio. The needle punching ratio is 10% to 80%, for example 15% to 65%, for example 20% to 50%. The hydroentanglement ratio is 10% to 80%, for example 15% to 65%, for example 20% to 50%. For the purpose of explanation rather than limitation, the needle punching ratio is the number of needles (number of needles and frequency of needle insertion) that can be adjusted on the same area of non-woven fabric. It can be understood that this machine should have 100 needles in the same area, and only 40 needles are inserted by adjusting the frequency of needle insertion and the forward speed of the non-woven fabric.

[0265] Needle punching or hydroentanglement is to penetrate a certain fiber on the upper layer through the entire non-woven fabric or about half the thickness, thereby improving the strength of the non-woven fabric.

[0266] Alternatively, in some embodiments of the present application, the present application also provides a method for preparing a vacuum insulation panel, comprising the following steps:

[0267] (1) aramid fibers, adhesive fibers are combed by a carding machine to obtain a non-strength fiber felt; optionally, different thicknesses of non-strength fiber felt can be selected according to the desired fiber non-woven fabric grammage;

[0268] (2) The fiber felt is obtained by a hot pressing process to obtain a fiber non-woven fabric, and the fiber non-woven fabric is stacked to obtain the core material of the vacuum insulation panel; in addition, the obtained core material of the vacuum insulation panel can be cut to a desired shape and size;

[0269] (3) The core material of the vacuum insulation panel is heat treated, then wrapped with a barrier film, and then vacuumized to obtain the vacuum insulation panel. Specifically, the core material of the vacuum insulation panel can be placed in a bag of barrier film, wrapped and vacuumized using a vacuum heat sealing machine, and then sealed after the vacuum degree reaches the target vacuum degree.

[0270] For the purpose of explanation rather than limitation, the hot pressing process in step (2) belongs to the hot pressing method, and the specific specification of aramid fiber used in the present application is crimped staple fiber, which is pre-mixed with low-melting adhesive fibers (such as polypropylene fibers or polyester fibers, etc.) in proportion through a coarse opening process, and then further mixed through a fine opening process, then combed by a carding machine to form a uniform fiber web, then cross-laminated to the target grammage, and then hot-rolled to melt the low-melting fibers, and then cooled to form a non-woven fabric with strength.

[0271] In some embodiments of the present application, the adhesive fiber includes at least one of a single-component polyester fiber, a single-component polyethylene fiber, a single-component polyvinyl alcohol fiber, a single-component polypropylene fiber, a double-component sheath-core structure polyester fiber, a double-component sheath-core structure polyethylene fiber, a double-component polyethylene-polyester fiber, and a double-component polypropylene-polyester fiber. For the purpose of explanation rather than limitation, the term "double component" used herein refers to a sheath-core structure, the sheath and the core are different components, for example, both are polyester, and are also different melting point polyesters, so it is called double component. As an example, the double-component polyethylene-polyester fiber has a polyethylene sheath component and a polyester core component. As an example, the double-component polypropylene-polyester fiber has a polypropylene sheath component and a polyester core component. As an example, the double-component sheath-core structure polyester fiber has a sheath component and a core component that are different melting point polyester fibers. For example, the melting point of the sheath component can be 100°C to 180°C, for example, 130°C to 170°C, for example, 100°C, 120°C, 150°C, or 180°C; the melting point of the core component is 240°C to 280°C, for example, 260°C.

[0272] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio of the aramid fiber to the binder fiber is ≥ 5:1, for example, ≥ 5:1, ≥ 5.5:1, ≥ 6:1, ≥ 6.5:1, ≥ 7:1, ≥ 7.5:1, ≥ 8:1, ≥ 8.5:1, ≥ 9:1, ≥ 9.5:1, ≥ 10:1, ≥ 10.5:1, ≥ 11:1, ≥ 12:1, ≥ 13:1, ≥ 14:1, ≥ 15:1.

[0328] Table 2

[0329] The thermal conductivity is measured according to the national standard GB / T 10294 / 10295 using the steady-state heat flow method. The strength of the carded fiber mat is judged by the actual use effect.

[0330] As can be seen from Table 2, the vacuum insulation board prepared in the present application has a more optimal thermal conductivity.
