And generating a corresponding electrical energy by a temperature difference between the processing unit and the heat dissipation slot. The mechanical energy/electric energy conversion module and the thermal energy/electric energy conversion module of the computer system can convert the mechanical energy generated by the heat dissipation module into electrical energy and convert the thermal energy generated by the processing unit into electrical energy, so It conforms to the design requirements of GreenWorks Exhibition. 6 M400002 [Embodiment] Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a functional block diagram of a computer system 50 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The computer system 50 converts mechanical energy and thermal energy into electrical energy, and the computer system 50 includes The housing 52, a processing unit 54, a storage device 56, a power supply module 58, a heat dissipation module 60, a mechanical energy/electric energy conversion module 62, and a thermal energy/electric energy conversion module 64. The processing unit 54 is mounted in the housing 52 and used to calculate data. For example, the processing unit 54 can be a central processing unit or the like. The storage device 56 is mounted in the housing 52 and used to store data. The storage device 56 The power supply module 58 is mounted in the housing 52 and is used to provide power to the storage device 56. The power supply module 58 can be a backup battery module. The heat dissipation module 60 is mounted in the casing 52 and is used to dissipate the heat generated by the processing unit 54 and the storage device 56. The heat dissipation module 60 can be a fan. The mechanical energy/electric energy conversion module 62 is mounted in the housing 52 and coupled to the power supply module 58 for converting the mechanical energy generated by the heat dissipation module 60 into electrical energy. And outputting the corresponding electrical energy to the power supply module 58. For example, the mechanical energy/electric energy conversion module 62 can be a piezoelectric electric energy pad mounted on the fan. The electric energy gasket generates vibration when the fan rotates, thereby generating phase 7 M400002 corresponding electric energy. Since the piezoelectric electric energy gasket is composed of a piezoelectric material, the piezoelectric material functions as a material polarized charge. The generation is caused by the stress applied to the material by the outside. When the stress is small, the change of the polarization is proportional to the stress, due to the mechanical and electrical cooperation of the piezoelectric material itself, when the piezoelectric type The electric energy gasket is deformed, and the opposite faces (positive and negative electrodes) of the crystal generate a potential difference, so that mechanical energy can be converted into electric energy. The mechanical energy/electric energy conversion module 62 can be presented in the form of a direct current generator, that is, the rotor coil can be driven when the fan rotates, thereby cutting the magnetic field inside the direct current generator to generate an induced voltage (Faraday's law). When the battery of the battery module is used as a load, the induced current can be output to charge the battery. The thermal energy/electricity conversion module 64 is mounted in the housing 52 and coupled to the power supply module 58. The thermal energy/electric energy conversion module 64 is configured to convert the thermal energy generated by the processing unit 54 into electrical energy and output corresponding electrical energy. To the power supply module 58. For example, please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram of the configuration of the thermal energy/electric energy conversion module 64 and the processing unit 54. The computer system 50 further includes a heat sink 66, which is installed in the processing. On one side of the unit 54, the thermal energy/electric energy conversion module 64 is installed between the processing unit 54 and the heat sink 66. If the temperature of the processing unit 54 at the high temperature end is Th, the temperature of the heat sink 66 at the low temperature end is Tc, heat energy. The power conversion module 64 can generate a corresponding electrical energy by a temperature difference (ΔT^Th-Tc) between the processing unit 54 and the heat sink 66. The thermal energy/electric energy conversion module 64 can be composed of a thermoelectric material, such as a P-type semiconductor and an N-type semiconductor, and one end of the M400002 is connected to the processing unit 54 (high temperature end), and the other end is connected to the heat dissipation slot 66. (low temperature end). When there is a temperature difference between the two ends, the carrier concentration in the high temperature region will be higher than that in the low temperature region, which will cause the carrier to diffuse from the high temperature region to the low temperature region, so that the uneven distribution of the carrier will form an electromotive force at the open end, and A current is generated in the loop, which is also known as the Seeback Effect. In this way, the thermal energy/electric energy conversion module 64 can convert the thermal energy generated by the processing unit 54 into the corresponding electrical energy by using the thermoelectric conversion principle, and if the battery of the backup φ battery module is used as the load, the induced current can be output. Charge the battery. The characteristics of the thermoelectric conversion show that the higher the temperature difference, the higher the voltage and current, and the higher the thermocouple density per unit volume, the higher the voltage and current. Therefore, if the temperature (Tc) at the low temperature end can be effectively lowered, the efficiency of the thermoelectric conversion can be increased. For example, the cover portion of the casing 52 can be designed as a passage for allowing the liquid to flow, and can be reduced by circulating the liquid. The temperature (Tc) of the heat sink 66. In general, the operating temperature of the central processing unit is approximately 75 °C, and the design of the liquid circulation flow allows the temperature difference between the two sides of the thermal energy/electric energy conversion module to reach 70 °C. Compared with the prior art, the mechanical energy/electric energy conversion module and the thermal/electric energy conversion module of the computer system can convert the mechanical energy of the vibration generated by the heat dissipation module into electrical energy and convert the thermal energy generated by the processing unit into Electrical energy, so it is designed to meet the requirements of green environmental protection and energy conservation.
