Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, conventional thermoelectric modules only generate an electric field parallel to the direction of temperature difference, and it is difficult to adjust the thermoelectric performance of the module by changing the size of the P-type and N-type thermoelectric components in the module. Therefore, a large number of P-type and N-type thermoelectric materials need to be connected in series In order to obtain a higher output voltage under a fixed temperature difference

Abstract

The invention provides a thermoelectric module, which includes at least one PN junction element. The PN junction element includes a PN junction structure, a plurality of upper electrodes and at least a lower electrode. The PN junction structure includes an N-type thermoelectric component and a P-type thermoelectric component, wherein the N-type thermoelectric component and the P-type thermoelectric component are connected on opposite sides. The upper electrodes are separated from each other and respectively cover part of the upper surface of the N-type thermoelectric component or part of the upper surface of the P-type thermoelectric component. The lower electrode covers the lower surface of the N-type thermoelectric component and the lower surface of the P-type thermoelectric component. The thermoelectric module provided by the invention can effectively improve the efficiency of the module.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a thermoelectric module, in particular to a thermoelectric module with lateral output voltage. Background technique [0002] Many industries need to consume a lot of energy and generate considerable heat in the manufacturing process, resulting in a lot of energy waste. Generally, thermoelectric modules can use temperature difference to generate electricity. The advantages are that they take up little space and have low maintenance costs. Therefore, they are suitable for recovering industrial waste heat to avoid energy waste. [0003] However, conventional thermoelectric modules only generate an electric field parallel to the direction of temperature difference, and it is difficult to adjust the thermoelectric performance of the module by changing the size of the P-type and N-type thermoelectric components in the module. Therefore, a large number of P-type and N-type thermoelectric materials need to be connected in series Only ...
