THERMOELECTRIC CONVERSION MODULE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/141525

A9

Provided is a thermoelectric conversion module whereby a temperature difference between a hot junction and a cold junction can be sufficiently large. The present invention is provided with a plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements (3) formed on a first main surface of an inner tube (1), and a plurality of protruding sections (4) formed on a second main surface of an outer tube (2). Each of the thermoelectric conversion elements includes: a wiring line (8) (cold junction); an electrode (7) (hot junction) formed at a first distance (L1) in the second direction (B) from the second main surface; and a first side surface (5E) and a second side surface (6E), which are positioned between the electrode and the wiring line. Each of the protruding sections includes a first protruding section (41) and a second protruding section (42), which are formed by being separated from each other in the third direction (C) when viewed from the first direction (A). A shortest distance (L2) between the first side surface and the top portion of the first protruding section, and a shortest distance (L3) between the second side surface and the top portion of the second protruding section are shorter than the first distance (L1).
