AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Thermoelectric power generation devices face challenges in receiving an appropriate amount of heat and maintaining heat uniformity due to the size relationship between the cooling plate and thermoelectric module, which can lead to malfunction.

Method used

The thermoelectric power generation device is designed with a heat receiving section having a larger area than the cooling plate, featuring various configurations such as tapered shapes, protrusions, and materials with different thermal conductivities to enhance heat transfer and release excess heat, thereby improving heat reception and uniformity.

Benefits of technology

This design enhances the amount of heat received and improves heat uniformity, promoting efficient heat transfer and reducing temperature variations.

Abstract

To improve the heat absorption capacity of thermoelectric power generation equipment. [Solution] The thermoelectric power generation device 1 comprises a heat receiving section 4 having an upper surface (first surface) 4a, a cooling plate 2 having a lower surface (second surface) 2b facing the upper surface 4a, and a thermoelectric power generation module 3 disposed between the upper surface 4a and the lower surface 2b. The heat receiving section 4 has a larger area than the cooling plate 2 when viewed in the stacking direction of the heat receiving section 4, the cooling plate 2, and the thermoelectric power generation module 3.
