Title:
THERMOELECTRIC POWER GENERATION DEVICE, THERMOELECTRIC POWER GENERATION DEVICE COMPONENT, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/255426
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided are a thermoelectric power generation device, a thermoelectric power generation device component, and a manufacturing method therefor, with which it is possible to improve power generation efficiency. A thermoelectric power generation device 10 has a beam part 20, a first leg part 21, and a second leg part 22 that are integrally formed with a wiring substrate 11. By deforming and bending the beam part 20, the first leg part 21, and the second leg part 22, a first contact section 21b and a second contact section 22b which are integrally formed at the tip portions of the first leg part 21 and the second leg part 22, respectively, are brought in close contact with a heat source Hs and are attached thereto. The first leg part 21 and the second leg part 22 rise obliquely upward from the heat source Hs, and, as a result, the beam part 20 connected to the base ends of the first leg part 21 and the second leg part 22 is positioned above the heat source Hs. The first leg part 21 and the second leg part 22 have attached thereto thermoelectric elements E1, E2, respectively.
