The cage frame 12 includes a plurality of side surfaces, and the cage plate 13 may be provided on each side surface, or the cage plate 13 may be provided on one or more side surfaces.

When the blind holes 131 are provided on the outer side of the cabinet plate 13, the power generation body 3 is correspondingly provided on the outer side surface of the cabinet plate 13.

The embodiment of the invention utilizes the case plate 13 to bear the power generation body 3, so that the size of the power generation body 3 can be flexibly adjusted, and is not limited by the size of the case frame 12.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, a plurality of through holes 132 penetrating the wall thickness thereof are provided on the cabinet plate 13, and the plurality of through holes 132 are located opposite to the position of the power generation body 3.

The arrangement and the size of the plurality of through holes 132 are not limited in the embodiment of the present invention, for example, the plurality of through holes 132 may be arranged in a rectangular, circular, or other shape in an array manner.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the surface temperature of the power generation body 3 can be close to the temperature of the accommodating space 11 or the environment by means of the through holes 132, so that the power generation amount of the power generation body 3 is improved, and the recycling rate of waste heat is further improved. Illustratively, when the power generation body 3 is attached to the inner side surface of the cabinet plate 13, the through hole 132 facilitates the second end surface 32 of the power generation body 3 to be close to the ambient temperature outside the cabinet 1. When the power generator 3 is attached to the outer surface of the case plate 13, the through hole 132 facilitates the temperature of the first end surface 31 of the power generator 3 to be close to the temperature in the accommodation space 11.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in addition to attaching the power generator 3 to the inner side or the outer side of the chassis board 13, the power generator 3 may be embedded in the chassis board 13, so that the contact area between the first end surface 31 of the power generator 3 and the accommodating space 11, and the contact area between the second end surface 32 of the power generator 3 and the environment outside the chassis 1 are maximized.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7, an insertion hole 133 is provided in the case plate 13, and the power generator 3 is inserted into the insertion hole 131. Wherein, the inner diameter of the embedded hole 133 is matched with the outer diameter of the power generation body 3, namely, the inner diameter of the embedded hole 133 is consistent with the outer diameter of the power generation body 3 within the tolerance range, so that the power generation body 3 can be embedded in the embedded hole 133.

In the embodiment of the invention, since the generator 3 is connected with the case plate 13 in a embedding manner, the case plate 13 does not shield the first end face 31 and the second end face 32 of the generator 3, and the first end face 31 and the second end face 32 of the generator 3 can be fully exposed to the environment outside the accommodating space 11 and the case 1 respectively, so that the temperature difference between the first end face 31 and the second end face 32 of the generator 3 is increased, the generating efficiency of the generator 3 is improved, and the waste heat recovery efficiency is further improved.

In some embodiments, the power generator 3 is a unitary structure. The power generator 3 of the integrated structure is provided with one power generator 13 on the side surface of the case frame 12, that is, on the side surface of one case frame 12. When the power generating body 3 is directly fixed to the case frame 12, the size of the power generating body 13 may occupy the entire side of the case frame 12 according to the size of the case frame 12.

The plurality of sub-power generators 33 being disposed adjacent to each other side by side means that there is no gap between two adjacent sub-power generators 33, or that the gap is only an assembly requirement and is not a gap of a certain width.

As shown in fig. 1, the power generator 3 includes two sub power generators 33, and the two sub power generators 33 are disposed adjacent to each other side by side.

When the plurality of sub-generators 33 are directly fixed on the case frame 12, the plurality of sub-generators 33 are arranged on the case frame 12 side by side, and gaps between two adjacent sub-generators 33 are reduced as much as possible, so that heat in the accommodating space 11 is prevented from being discharged from the gaps between the two adjacent sub-generators 33, and the waste heat recovery efficiency is reduced.

When the plurality of sub-generators 33 are fixed to the blind holes 131 of the chassis plate 13, the plurality of sub-generators 33 may be disposed at intervals or side by side. For example, a plurality of blind holes 131 are formed in the chassis plate 13 at intervals, a plurality of sub-generators 33 are disposed in the blind holes 131 one by one, or one blind hole 131 is formed in the chassis plate 13, and a plurality of sub-generators 33 are disposed in the blind holes 131 side by side.

When the plurality of sub-power-generating bodies 33 are fixed to the fitting hole 133 of the casing plate 13, the plurality of sub-power-generating bodies 33 are disposed side by side on the casing frame 12, and gaps between two adjacent sub-power-generating bodies 33 are minimized to avoid heat inside the accommodating space 11 from being discharged from the gaps between the two adjacent sub-power-generating bodies 33, thereby reducing the efficiency of waste heat recovery.

When a plurality of sub-power-generating bodies 33 are fixed to the fitting holes 133 of the case plate 13, the number of fitting holes 133 matches the number of sub-power-generating bodies 33, and each sub-power-generating body 33 is fitted into one fitting hole 133. At the time of assembly, the sub power generation body 33 can be quickly fixed to the cabinet plate 13 by using the fitting hole 133, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.
