Description

A kind of high-performance semiconductor thermoelectric element
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of high-performance semiconductor thermoelectric element, belongs to the direct-type technical field of thermoelectric conversion of using energy source.
Background technology
As shown in Figure 1, existing semiconductor heat electric device is mainly comprised of P type semiconductor thermoelectric arm, N type semiconductor thermoelectric arm, copper sheet, insulated ceramic plates, side organosilicon sealant (not shown in FIG.) and wire.
The operation principle of existing semiconductor heat electric device is: when the one side of thermoelectric element is subject to thermosetting hot junction, two ends that semiconductor contacts with copper sheet produce temperature difference.Because semiconductor has significant Seebeck effect, two ends that semiconductor contacts with copper sheet produce voltage.If load is accessed to wire, form closed circuit with thermoelectric element, in circuit, will form electric current, thereby the heat energy that thermoelectric element absorbs hot junction is directly changed into electric energy.
Semiconductor heat electric device can also be realized refrigerating function, its operation principle is: the wire that direct current is accessed to thermoelectric element, when electric current flows through the contact position of semiconductor and copper sheet, due to semi-conductive paltie effect, one end temperature that it contacts with copper sheet raises, become hot junction, other end temperature reduces, and becomes cold junction.Cold junction can be used for reducing the process of refrigerastion of temperature, and thermoelectric element is at this moment commonly referred to semiconductor cooler.
Although it is simple in structure that semiconductor heat electric device has, without working medium, noise is little, start the advantages such as rapid, and with respect to thermoelectricity transfer processes such as traditional thermal power generation or vapour compression refrigerations, the efficiency of semiconductor thermoelectric conversion is very low.This thermoelectricity conversion regime does not have practicality in most cases, can only be applied to some special occasions.
Cause a major reason that semiconductor heat electric device conversion efficiency of thermoelectric is low be hot junction by element internal the diabatic process to cold junction.This diabatic process has reduced cold warm end temperature difference for thermoelectricity transfer process, and conversion efficiency of thermoelectric is declined; For process of refrigerastion, the cold that directly causes cold junction externally to export to the heat transfer of cold junction diminishes, thereby coefficient of refrigerating performance declines.Therefore, minimizing hot junction is the important method that improves conversion efficiency of thermoelectric to the heat transfer of cold junction.
Two kinds of approach can be passed through to the heat transfer of cold junction in hot junction: 1. by the heat conduction of semiconductor thermoelectric arm.This heat transfer path is realized for a long time, and is subject to a lot of research.The adjoint process when heat conduction by thermoelectric arm is thermoelectric element work is inevitable.2. by the heat transfer of inner space.This heat transfer can be divided into two aspects, in inner space the free convection heat transfer of air and hot surface to the radiant heat transfer of cold surface.While working due to thermoelectric element, the temperature difference of hot junction and cold junction can reach tens degree and even goes up Baidu, so hot junction is very large by this approach to the heat output of cold junction, can reduce the heat output of this approach by technological means.
Existing semiconductor heat electric device is not controlled the 2nd kind of above-mentioned heat transfer path, is the one of the main reasons that causes conversion efficiency of thermoelectric low.
In order to prevent that extraneous foreign matter (as dust etc.) from entering thermoelectric element inside, cause short circuit, particularly for semiconductor cooler, also need the harm that prevents that airborne water vapour from condensing at cold junction.Existing semiconductor heat electric device is used organic silica gel to seal in side for this reason.But under the huge action of thermal difference of the cold and hot end of thermoelectric element, through repeatedly working for a long time, there is the possibility losing efficacy in the sealing of organic silica gel.Therefore be necessary to find thermoelectric element is carried out to more reliable encapsulating method.
In order to be conducive to thermoelectric element and the external world, carry out efficient heat transfer, need to heat transfer element be installed in insulated ceramic plates, as radiator.In order to eliminate the contact heat resistance between radiator and insulated ceramic plates, need to apply great pressure to the contact-making surface of the two, this pressure is also applied on Ceramic insulator and semiconductor thermoelectric arm.In the situation that there is large quantity space in thermoelectric element inside, can form the situation of stress surface unbalance stress, may form mechanical damage to insulated ceramic plates and thermoelectric arm.Therefore need to improve the stress of thermoelectric element stress surface, to improve the mechanical safety of stress surface.
Summary of the invention
Low in order to overcome existing semiconductor heat electric device conversion efficiency of thermoelectric, eliminate the possibility that organic silica gel seal failure causes short circuit, and the mechanical safety that improves thermoelectric element stress surface, the utility model provides a kind of high-performance semiconductor thermoelectric element, object is by the adiabatic encapsulant of semiconductor thermoelectric element internal space-filling, eliminate free convection heat transfer and the radiant heat transfer of element internal, improve conversion efficiency of thermoelectric.Adiabatic encapsulant is simultaneously also for semiconductor heat electric device provides reliable integrated sealing, and makes stress surface form uniform stress, improves mechanical safety.
The technical solution adopted in the utility model is as follows:
A kind of high-performance semiconductor thermoelectric element, comprise P type semiconductor thermoelectric arm, N type semiconductor thermoelectric arm, copper sheet, insulated ceramic plates and wire, between two insulated ceramic plates, be filled with adiabatic encapsulant, adiabatic encapsulant is full of the space between P type semiconductor thermoelectric arm, N type semiconductor thermoelectric arm, copper sheet and insulated ceramic plates.
Further, described adiabatic encapsulant is hard-foam polyurethane.
The operation principle of this high-performance semiconductor thermoelectric element is: when thermoelectric element becomes electric energy for the thermal power transfer that hot junction is absorbed, element two ends are because heat absorption produces temperature difference, semiconductor thermoelectric arm is under temperature difference effect, due to Seebeck effect, between hot junction and cold junction, form voltage, thereby heat energy is transformed into electric energy.The adiabatic encapsulant of filling in element stops hot junction to be conducted heat to cold junction by free convection and thermal radiation, has improved the temperature difference of hot junction and cold junction, thereby can significantly improve the conversion efficiency of thermoelectric of element.
When element is used for electric energy to be transformed into heat energy, by wire access direct current, when electric current flows through semiconductor thermoelectric arm, because making thermoelectric arm one end temperature, paltie effect raises, and other end temperature declines, and one end that temperature is low can be for refrigeration.The adiabatic encapsulant of installing in element has reduced the heat transfer of hot junction to cold junction, thereby cold junction can externally be exported more cold, and coefficient of refrigerating performance increases.
High-performance semiconductor thermoelectric element of the present utility model, owing to having filled adiabatic encapsulant at element internal, than existing semiconductor heat electric device, has the following advantages:
1. adopt hard-foam polyurethane as adiabatic encapsulant, because the thermal conductivity of hard-foam polyurethane is only up to 0.022W/ (mK), the hard-foam polyurethane of therefore filling has not only been eliminated free convection heat transfer and the radiant heat transfer of hot junction to cold junction, and also very little by the heat conduction amount of hard-foam polyurethane, these can significantly improve the conversion efficiency of thermoelectric of element.
2. adopt airless spraying foaming technique to manufacture hard-foam polyurethane, by this technology, at the inner hard-foam polyurethane of filling of thermoelectric element, there is rate of closed hole high (being greater than 95%), the feature of moisture content little (being less than 1%), thus guarantee that the hard-foam polyurethane forming has extremely low thermal conductivity.Because the liquid material to surface spraying has high mobility and permeability, thereby the hard-foam polyurethane forming and the surperficial firmly bonding that produces, adhesion strength surpasses the tearing strength of hard-foam polyurethane itself.Therefore, hard-foam polyurethane is connected with element internal surface, and element internal is formed to integrated sealing, makes internal circuit with extraneous thoroughly isolated.This sealing means not only can improve the reliability of thermoelectric element sealing, can also save the technical process of snearing fluid sealant in thermoelectric element manufacture process.
3. the compression strength of hard-foam polyurethane is more than 600kPa, semiconductor thermoelectric element internal has been filled after the adiabatic encapsulant of this high compressive strength, make the stressed uniform stressed state that becomes of insulated ceramic plates, and alleviated the pressure to semiconductor thermoelectric arm, thereby improved the mechanical safety of semiconductor heat electric device.
4. it is simple in structure that this high-performance semiconductor thermoelectric element the utility model proposes had both retained thermoelectric element, without working medium, noise is little, start advantage rapidly, by filling hard-foam polyurethane at element internal, improve the conversion efficiency of thermoelectric of element, overcome the low problem of existing semiconductor thermoelectric efficiency of element, can greatly improve the practical application potentiality of semiconductor heat electric device.Also improve the sealing reliability of thermoelectric element simultaneously, strengthened the mechanical safety of stressed member.
