TECHNICAL FIELD

In order to avoid the adverse effects caused by insufficient contact as much as possible, a layer of graphite paper is usually placed between the device and the heating table and the refrigeration table to ensure accurate temperature control and uniform pressure.
[0003] Chinese patent CN107607849A discloses a device and method for testing the power generation performance of a thermoelectric device, which is characterized in that the thermoelectric device is placed between a hot-end temperature control platform and a cold-end temperature control platform, and then the power generation performance of the sample is tested by manually adjusting the pressure through a screw rod. However, the pressure adjustment operation is inconvenient and inefficient. Moreover, the hot-end temperature control platform and the cold-end temperature control platform are of a horizontal flat structure. Since there are slight size deviations and thermal deformations in the manufacturing of the component structures (semiconductor material, barrier layer, solder, electrode, and ceramic substrate) of the device, it is difficult to guarantee the absolute parallelism of the upper and lower end surfaces of the device under actual working conditions. Therefore, during the performance testing, the device cannot be guaranteed to be in flat contact with the cold-end and hot-end heaters, which affects the accuracy of the temperature and pressure and results in large testing data errors.

[0024] As known from the background art, a thermoelectric device is usually packaged by a structure of a semiconductor thermoelectric material, a barrier layer, a solder, an electrode, a ceramic substrate, etc. In the preparation process of the thermoelectric device, the non-parallelism of the upper and lower substrates of the device is directly caused by the height deviation of the thermoelectric arm, the uneven coverage of the solder, etc. Meanwhile, the non-parallelism of the upper and lower substrates of the device is also caused by the thermal deformation of each component structure of the device at a higher temperature, since the device is usually packaged by high-temperature and high-pressure welding. The heating table and the refrigeration table of the conventional thermoelectric power generation performance testing device are rigid parallel plane structures, which cannot guarantee the flat contact between the heating table, the refrigeration table and the two end surfaces of the thermoelectric device during the power generation performance testing of the thermoelectric device, resulting in a large error of the testing result and the damage of the device under high pressure.
[0025] In view of the above technical defects of the thermoelectric power generation performance testing device, the present application provides a thermoelectric power generation efficiency testing device with self-adaptive pressure control function, which adopts a flexible heater structure with a supporting suspension and a leveling spring, can effectively solve the problem of insufficient contact between the upper and lower end surfaces of the thermoelectric device and the heating table and the refrigeration table during the power generation performance testing, and simultaneously adopts an automatic pressure control system such as a pressure sensor and an overhead hydraulic oil cylinder to realize the smoothness and accurate control of the required pressure during the power generation performance testing of the thermoelectric device. The present application has great application value for the automatic installation and testing of the power generation performance of the thermoelectric device.
[0026] Specifically, the present application is a thermoelectric power generation efficiency testing device with self-adaptive pressure control function. The flexible heater structure with a supporting suspension and a leveling spring can effectively solve the problem of insufficient contact between the upper and lower end surfaces of the thermoelectric device and the heating table and the refrigeration table during the power generation performance testing, and simultaneously the automatic pressure control system such as a pressure sensor and an overhead hydraulic oil cylinder is adopted to realize the smoothness and accurate control of the required pressure during the power generation performance testing of the thermoelectric device.

[0033] The heating table 401 is further connected with an elastic leveling assembly, and the heating table 401 is pressed against the upper base surface of the to-be-tested thermoelectric device 3 under the cooperation of the hydraulic system 6 and the elastic leveling assembly, so that the upper base surface and the lower base surface of the to-be-tested thermoelectric device 3 are tightly attached between the heating table 401 and the refrigeration table 1.

[0035] The device further comprises a data collector connected with the cold-end thermocouple 2 and the hot-end thermocouple 402, and the data collector is used for receiving the temperature data transmitted by the cold-end thermocouple 2 and the hot-end thermocouple 402, and the heat flow data transmitted by the first heat flow meter thermocouple 9 and the second heat flow meter thermocouple 10, and recording the internal resistance, open-circuit voltage, maximum output power and maximum conversion efficiency of the to-be-tested thermoelectric device 3 at the corresponding temperature when the vacuum sealed cavity 8 is in a vacuum state.
[0036] The basic measurement device of the present application comprises a heater module 4, a pressure control system, a refrigeration system, a cavity cooling system 13, a vacuum sealed cavity 8, a data collector, a computer and the like.
[0037] The heater module 4 comprises a heater support frame 404, a support suspension 405, a heater and a heating table 401 connected in sequence; and the heater support frame 404 is connected with the hydraulic system 6.
[0038] The heater support frame 404 and the support suspension 405 are connected through the elastic leveling assembly, and the heater support frame 404 is provided with a first connecting piece on one side edge corner close to the heating table 401, and the support suspension 405 is provided with a second connecting piece on one side edge corner of the heating table 401.

[0053] Step 4, the cavity is closed, and the vacuum pump is turned on to pump the cavity to a vacuum of 10 Pa or less.
[0054] Step 5, the automatic control program is used to set the heating temperature range, temperature gradient and corresponding test time.
[0055] Step 6, the program is started to test, and the real-time data measured by the data collector is input into the computer, so that the internal resistance, open circuit voltage, maximum output power and maximum conversion efficiency data and relationship curve diagram of the thermoelectric device to be measured at the corresponding temperature can be directly obtained.
[0056] Step 7, after the test is completed, the cavity cooling system 13 is turned on, so that the temperature in the cavity is quickly reduced to room temperature, and the thermoelectric device to be measured is taken out, and the test is completed.
