The invention relates to a preparation method of a thermoelectric refrigerator for high
orbit space; the preparation method comprises the following steps of: preparing a thermoelectric material sheet, a
thermoelectric element, a metallization pattern and a flow deflector, integrally
welding,
grinding, carrying out ultrasonic cleaning,
welding outgoing lines, and carrying out temperature and
mechanics aging test of '
electrical aging and temperature cycle as well as variable frequency vibration'; the preparation method is characterized in that two
layers of
nickel are respectively plated on two end surfaces of the thermoelectric material sheet; a layer of
nickel is plated on the metallization pattern; and a layer of
nickel and a layer of
tin are plated on exposed parts of the flow deflector through
barrel plating. Through nickel plating of the thermoelectric material sheet and the metallization graph and nickel plating and
tin plating of the flow deflector together with material optimization,
welding,
grinding, ultrasonic cleaning and screening of destructive tests, the thermoelectric refrigerator prepared by the method has the advantages that the
space radiation resistant capacity reaches 300 Krad (Si), the
failure rate reaches 200fit, the
temperature difference is large, the
refrigeration power is high, has the characteristics of strong
impact resistance and vibration
mechanical property, high reliability, small volume and the like and is particularly suitable for being applied to the high
orbit space.
