  • Patent number: 12660503
    Abstract: A thermoelectric power generation device includes a beam portion, a first leg portion, and a second leg portion formed integrally with a wiring substrate. The beam portion, the first leg portion, and the second leg portion are curved and deformed, and the first contact portion and the second contact portion integrally formed at the distal ends of the first leg portion and the second leg portion, respectively, are mounted in close contact with a heat source. The first leg portion and the second leg portion rise obliquely upward from the heat source, and the beam portion connected to the base ends of the first leg portion and the second leg portion is disposed above the heat source. Thermoelectric elements are mounted to the first leg portion and the second leg portion.
