Cooling and heating device using thermoelectric module

Abstract

A cooling and heating apparatus using a thermoelectric module, in which the thermoelectric module, a heat emitting member and a heat conducting block are integrated into a single unit, to improve the performance and durability of the thermoelectric module. The cooling and heating apparatus includes a thermoelectric module. The heat emitting member is attached to a first surface of the thermoelectric module. The heat conducting block is attached to a second surface of the thermoelectric module. The heat absorbing member is attached to the heat conducting block. A cover integrates the thermoelectric module and the heat conducting block into the single unit by fixedly covering side surfaces of the thermoelectric module and the heat conducting block and a part of an inner surface of the heat emitting member.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a cooling and heating device using a thermoelectric module, and more particularly to a cooling and heating device using a thermoelectric module, wherein the thermoelectric module, that is, a heat radiation member and a heat conduction member are integrated into a single Integral and thus can be easily assembled with other constituent parts while being sealed, thereby improving the performance and durability of the thermoelectric module. Background technique [0002] A thermoelectric module is one that is formed by bonding two dissimilar metals together or connecting an n-type semiconductor with a p-type semiconductor. A feature of a thermoelectric module is that when an electric current is applied thereto, heat absorption and heat emission occur on opposite surfaces of two different metals or n-type semiconductor and p-type semiconductor, respectively. As a result, if the heat exchanger is installed on the he...
