Abstract
Description
従来の熱電発電モジュールを備えた熱電発電ユニットとして、例えば特許文献1のものが知られている。
特許文献1の熱電発電ユニットは、複数の熱電発電モジュールが共通の端子台に端子接続されることによって1つの直列回路を構成している。特許文献1の熱電発電ユニットにおいて、各々の熱電発電モジュールの状態を診断するときには、端子台から端子を外し、外した端子にテスターを当てて各熱電発電モジュールの内部抵抗等を測定することによって行う。
また、特許文献1の熱電発電ユニットにおいて、いずれかの熱電発電モジュールの能力が低下または機能を停止した場合には、不具合が発生した熱電発電モジュールを短絡し、残りの熱電発電モジュールで発電を行うように、端子台に対する端子の取付位置を変更する。
一方、端子台をケース外に設けるとともに、熱電発電モジュールからの配線を外部に引き出す構造とすることで、熱電発電モジュールの状態診断や不具合が発生した熱電発電モジュールの短絡を可能とした場合には、ケース内の配線(ケーブル線)が多くなるのに伴いケース内における熱電素子あるいは熱電発電モジュールの充填率が低くなり、ケースにおける熱損失が増える結果、単位面積当たりの出力が低くなるという問題がある。
また、診断対象とする熱電発電モジュールの変更をリードピンの選択だけで行うことが可能であり、診断対象の変更を行うための機構(例えば端子台)をケース内に設けた場合と比較して、熱電素子や熱電発電モジュールの充填率を高めることができるとともに、高温の熱電発電ユニットを適用した装置を停止させる必要がない。
さらに、第1層に出力回路形成用の素子間電極が設けられ、第2層にスルーホールが形成され、スルーホールは第3層の複数のバイパスパターンに導通しているので、バイパスパターンによって導通される複数の熱電発電モジュールの診断を行うことができる上、その導通においてもケーブル線が不要であり、充填率の低下が生じない。
図1は本発明の一実施形態に係る熱電発電ユニット1の斜視図であり、図2は熱電発電ユニット1を図1におけるII-II方向から見た側断面図であり、図3は熱電発電ユニット1を図2のIII-III方向から見た平断面図である。
熱電発電ユニット1は、図1および図2に示すように加熱面Thおよび冷却面Tcを表裏に有し、図3に示すように、金属製で矩形のケース2内に縦2×横2の配列で設けられた第1~第4熱電発電モジュールM1~M4を収納した構造を有する。なお、ケース2の形状、および第1~第4熱電発電モジュールM1~M4の配列はあくまで一例であり、これに限定されるものではない。ケース2は、メッキ処理が施され上面が開放された箱状のケース本体2Aと、メッキ処理が施されケース本体2Aと同じ平面形状を有するケース蓋2Bとから構成されている。ケース本体2Aとケース蓋2Bとに施されたメッキ処理は、例えば、ニッケルフラッシュメッキの上に金フラッシュメッキを施すものであり、ニッケルメッキのみでもよい。
なお、第1~第4熱電発電モジュールM1~M4は、第1層の素子間電極22を有さない多層基板と、熱電素子21と、素子間電極(板)のみから構成されるモジュール(フルスケルトンモジュール)を含めて形成することも可能である。
第1熱電発電モジュールM1において、左上隅に設けられた素子間電極22Aは+極であり、右上隅に設けられた素子間電極(図示せず)は-極である。+極とされた素子間電極22AにはリードピンP1が接続されており、-極とされた右上隅の素子間電極にはリードピンP5が接続されている。
第4熱電発電モジュールM4において、左上隅に設けられた素子間電極(図示せず)は+極であり、右上隅に設けられた素子間電極22Dは-極である。+極とされた左上隅の素子間電極にはリードピンP6が接続されており、-極とされた右上隅の素子間電極22DにはリードピンP10が接続されている。
第2熱電発電モジュールM2において、左下隅に設けられた素子間電極22Bは-極であり、右下隅に設けられた素子間電極(図示せず)は+極である。
第3熱電発電モジュールM3において、左下隅に設けられた素子間電極は-極であり、右下隅に設けられた素子間電極22Cは+極である。
上述の構成により、熱源から加熱面Thに伝えられた熱は、ケース蓋2B、熱伝導シート24、および絶縁板23を介して、第1~第4熱電発電モジュールM1~M4に良好に伝えられる。
中央バイパスパターン13は、図中の縦方向に延びる「I」形の平面形状を有し、上端部にスルーホールH2,H3が、下端部にスルーホールH6,H7がそれぞれ重ねられている。また、中央バイパスパターン13の上端部には、スルーホールH2,H3を介してリードピンP4,P7がそれぞれ接続されている。
スルーホールH2の上には、スルーホール電極5が設けられ接している。このスルーホール電極5は、第3層のバイパスパターン13とスルーホールH3を介してリードピンP7と導通している。つまり、スルーホールH2はリードピンP7と導通している。スルーホール電極5と接合部材6との接合、および接合部材6とリードピンP4との接合は熱の影響を受けない機械的接合(圧着等)、または熱の影響が小さい溶接(スポット溶接等)により行われる。スルーホールH2の下面には、第2基板12の中央バイパスパターン13が接しており、第2基板12の下側には、冷却面Tcとの間に銅板16が敷設されている。前述したように、この銅板16が多層基板10の第5層を構成している。
上述の構成は、スルーホールH3周辺の構成と略同じである。ただし、スルーホールH3は、スルーホール電極5およびリードピンP7と導通している。
また、スルーホールH2とスルーホールH3とは、中央バイパスパターン13を介して導通している。つまり、リードピンP4とリードピンP7とは導通している。
上述の構成は、スルーホールH4周辺の構成と同じである。ただし、スルーホールH4は、第4熱電発電モジュールM4の-極とされた素子間電極およびリードピンP10と導通している。
第4熱電発電モジュールM4の+極とされた素子間電極には、リードピンP6が接合されている。また、第2熱電発電モジュールM2の+極とされた素子間電極は、スルーホールH6およびリードピンP4およびP7と導通している。
スルーホールH8の上には、第3熱電発電モジュールM3の+極とされた素子間電極22Cが設けられ接している。また、スルーホールH8は、右側バイパスパターン15を介して、スルーホールH4およびリードピンP10と導通している。
上述の構成を備える熱電発電ユニット1は、個別の第1~第4熱電発電モジュールM1~M4の出力を検出すること、および2以上の第1~第4熱電発電モジュールM1~M4から成る組合せの出力を検出することが可能である。
出力を検出する熱電発電モジュールM1~M4とその際に使用するリードピンP1~P10、および電流経路は以下の通りである。

次に、図9に基づいて、第1~第4熱電発電モジュールM1~M4の診断処理を説明する。この処理は、劣化や故障により使用不可となった第1~第4熱電発電モジュールM1~M4を特定するとともに、残りの正常な熱電発電モジュールM1~M4を用いて発電を行うものである。
次に、ステップS3において、測定された発電量が予め設定された100%稼動用の閾値よりも大きいか否かの判別結果に基づいて、「出力異常」が発生しているか否かを判定する。発電量と比較する100%稼動用の閾値は、全ての熱電発電モジュールM1~M4に劣化も故障も発生していない状態において、熱電発電ユニット1が発電できるはずの発電量の下限値である。
一方、100%稼動の発電量が100%稼動用の閾値未満のときには、第1~第4熱電発電モジュールM1~M4のいずれかに劣化および/または故障が発生しているとして、「出力異常」が発生していると判定する。この場合には、ステップS4に進み、「個別診断」を行う。前述したように、熱電発電ユニット1は、個別の第1~第4熱電発電モジュールM1~M4の出力を検出することが可能である。「個別診断」では、第1熱電発電モジュールM1から順に発電量を検出し、熱電発電モジュールM1~M4のいずれに異常が発生しているのかを特定する。
次に、ステップS8において、測定された発電量が予め設定された75%稼動用の閾値よりも大きいか否かの判別結果に基づいて、「出力異常」が発生しているか否かを判定する。
75%稼動の発電量が75%稼動用の閾値以上のときには、「出力異常」が発生していないと判定し、第2~第4熱電発電モジュールM2~M4を用いた発電を継続するとともに、ステップS7の「全体診断」を再度実行する。
次に、ステップS13において、測定された発電量が予め設定された50%稼動用の閾値よりも大きいか否かの判別結果に基づいて、「出力異常」が発生しているか否かを判別する。
50%稼動の発電量が50%稼動用の閾値以上のときには、「出力異常」が発生していないと判定し、第3および第4熱電発電モジュールM3,M4による発電を継続するとともに、ステップS11の「全体診断」を再度実行する。
次に、ステップS18において、測定された発電量が予め設定された25%稼動用の閾値よりも大きいか否かの判別結果に基づいて、「出力異常」が発生しているか否かを判別する。
25%稼動の発電量が25%稼動用の閾値以上のときには、「出力異常」が発生していないと判定し、第4熱電発電モジュールM4を用いた発電を継続するとともに、ステップS17の「全体診断」を再度実行する。
一方、25%稼動の発電量が25%稼動用の閾値未満のときには、最後に残った第4熱電発電モジュールM4に劣化および/または故障が発生しているとして、ステップS18において、熱電発電ユニット1の稼働を停止する。
また、診断対象とする第1~第4熱電発電モジュールM1~M4の変更をリードピンP1~P10の選択により行うことができるので、診断対象の変更を行うための機構(例えば端子台)をケース2内に設けた場合と比較して、熱電発電ユニット1の充填率を高めることができるとともに、高温の熱電発電ユニット1を適用した装置を停止させる必要がない。
さらに、素子間電極22を有する第1基板11にスルーホールH1~H8が形成され、スルーホールH1~H8は第2基板12のバイパスパターン13~15に導通しているので、バイパスパターン13~15毎に診断を行うことで、熱電発電ユニット1の診断を確実に行うことができる。
前記実施形態では、ケース2内に第1~第4熱電発電モジュールM1~M4が縦2×横2の配列で設けられているが、熱電発電モジュールの数量および配置は実施形態に限定されない。熱電発電モジュールは縦2×横2を一単位として増やすことができ、例えば、ケース2内に第1~第16熱電発電モジュールが縦4×横4の配列で設けられていてもよい。熱電発電モジュールの増加に伴い、リードピンの数量も増加し、多層基板10の積層数も増加し、スルーホールおよびバイパスパターンの数量および配置も変化する。
前記実施形態の熱電発電ユニット1と同一のまたは対応する構成については、同一の符号を付すとともに、その説明を省略する。
例えば、前記実施形態および変形例では、ケース2内に第1~第4熱電発電モジュールM1~M4、第1~第16熱電発電モジュールM1~M16が、縦横同数の配列(実施形態:2×2,変形例:4×4)で設けられているが、縦横が異なる数の配列(例えば1×4や2×8)で設けられていてもよい。
