  • Patent number: 10833237
    Abstract: A thermoelectric module according to the present disclosure includes: a pair of insulating substrates, each insulating substrate including a one main surface in a plan view, and a rectangular facing region of the one main surface, the rectangular facing regions facing each other; wiring conductors located on the one main surfaces of the pair of insulating substrates, respectively; a pair of metal plates located on other main surfaces opposite to the one main surfaces of the pair of insulating substrates, respectively; and a plurality of thermoelectric elements located between the one main surfaces of the pair of insulating substrates. At least one insulating substrate and at least one metal plate include a protrusion protruding from a one side of the rectangular facing region in the plan view, and a metal pattern located on the one main surface of the protrusion, the metal pattern not electrically connected to the wiring conductor.

  • Publication number: 20200279988
    Abstract: A thermoelectric module according to the disclosure includes: a pair of support substrates including mutually opposed regions; wiring conductors disposed on opposed one principal surfaces of the pair of support substrates, respectively; a plurality of thermoelectric elements disposed between the one principal surfaces; a lead member joined to one wiring conductor of the wiring conductors, the one wiring conductor being located on either one support substrate of the pair of support substrates; and an electrically conductive joining material which joins the one wiring conductor and the lead member together. A bonding interface between the electrically conductive joining material and the wiring conductor is smaller in width on a side close to the thermoelectric elements than on a side away from the thermoelectric elements, as viewed in a section in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the lead member.

  • Patent number: 10236430
    Abstract: A thermoelectric module includes a pair of support substrates having mutually opposed regions; wiring conductors each disposed on one principal surfaces of the pair of support substrates, the one principal surfaces being opposed to each other; a plurality of thermoelectric elements disposed between the one principal surfaces; a lead member joined to one wiring conductor disposed on one support substrate; and a cover material which covers a junction where the lead member is joined to the one wiring conductor disposed on the one support substrate. The one support substrate has a first protruding portion including the junction, and the other support substrate has a second protruding portion located so as not to overlap the junction as seen in a direction perpendicular to the one principal surface. The cover material is joined to the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion.
