Title:
HEAT RECOVERY TYPE PAD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5837329
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To convert friction heat generated upon braking into electricity to utilize the same by providing thermoelectronic elements which can obtain a Seebeck effect on the back metal of a pad. CONSTITUTION:Each of element modules 4 connecting to each other a P type element 1 and N type element 2 which are formed by intermetallic compound semiconductors using a conductor 3 such as a copper plate. A large number of element modules are tied into units, and fitted to the rear surface of the back metal 10 of a pad electrically insulated with coating films 11 and 11'. The thus fitted element units are covered and protected with a protective plate 13 substantially analogous to a frame 12 secured to the back metal and the back metal fitted to the frame, and further a gap produced between respective elements 1 and 2 is reinforced by an insulation reinforcing material 14 excellent in heat insulation.
