CONNECTION STRUCTURE OF HEAT INSULATING PANEL

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connection structure of heat insulating panels eliminating work on a gondola and a scaffolding to allow safe and easy installation of the heat insulating panels to ensure waterproofness of connection parts of the heat insulating panels. SOLUTION: In the connection structure of the heat insulating panels A formed by filling a heat insulating material 3 between two metal skins 1, 2, a joint piece 4 is projected to the side from the side end of each heat insulating panel A. The adjacent heat insulating panels A, A are disposed with the joint pieces 4 facing each other, and a joint 5 is formed by the facing joint pieces 4, 4. Waterproof members 6 are provided in the joint 5, and the joint 5 is provided with an opening communicating with an outdoor side space rather than the waterproof members 6. A gutter member 7 is disposed on the indoor side of the joint 5, and an airtight member 8 is provided between the joint piece 4 and the gutter member 7. A space between the waterproof members 6 and the gutter member 7 is formed as an isobaric space 9 equal in atmospheric pressure to the outdoor side space. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
