Energy-saving plate and method for manufacturing the same
First Claim
1. A panel comprising:
- a first plate comprising glass;
a second plate comprising glass;
a third plate between the first and second plates, the third plate comprising a flexible material;
a first plurality of support structures sandwiched between the first plate and the third plate;
a second plurality of support structures sandwiched between the second plate and the third plate, whereinperipheries of the first, second and third plates are aligned and sealed to form a first vacuum chamber between the first and third plates and a second vacuum chamber between the second and third plates,the third plate comprises a notch at an edge of the third plate and formed between the first plate and the second plate, the notch providing a fluid channel connecting the first and second vacuum chambers such that the first and second vacuum chambers are in fluid communication and under a same vacuum pressure,the second plurality of support structures are off-set from the first plurality of support structures such that the support structures and the third plate form non-linear thermal pathways from the first plate to the second plate, anda pumping pipe enclosed within the notch and between the first plate and the second plate, the pumping pipe having an open end in fluid communication with the fluid channel and a terminal closed end,wherein the first and second plates have straight peripheral edges.

Abstract
The present invention provides an energy-saving plate and a method for manufacturing the same. The energy-saving plate of the present invention includes: at least one upper plate, at least one lower plate, at least one inner plate, and a plurality of support structures; a top edge of the upper plate and a bottom edge of the lower plate appear as a straight line; the inner plate is provided between the upper plate and the lower plate, and adjacent plates are separated by the plurality of support structures; an exhausting opening is provided at a lateral side of the inner plate, which is a through-groove inter-penetrating upper and lower surfaces of the inner plate; the periphery of the upper plate, the lower plate, and the inner plate are sealed via a sealing material, so as to form vacuum layers between the plate layers; an exhausting pipe is arranged in the exhausting opening, with which the exhausting opening is sealed together via the sealing material, an open-end of the exhausting pipe is located inside the exhausting opening, and a closed-end of the exhausting pipe is located outside the exhausting opening and is located in the space formed between the upper plate and the lower plate. In the present invention, a total flat surface of the energy-saving plate is achieved without structure defects, thus enhancing the strength of the energy-saving plate.
