Method for manufacturing precursor of thermoelectric module of thermoelectric generator utilized for generating electricity, involves bending guiding element along target bending position so that module is produced by assembling precursors

摘要

The method (302) involves providing a flat guiding element (304) i.e. metal sheet, where the guiding element is made of a material that is suitable for thermal and/or electric conduction in a thermoelectric module. A target bending position is inserted (306) into the guiding element, and the guiding element is bent (310) along the target bending position such that the thermoelectric module is produced by assembling two precursors. The guiding element is simultaneously assembled and connected (308) with thermoelectric elements. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for manufacturing a thermoelectric module (2) a guiding element is made of a material that is suitable for thermal and/or electric conduction in a thermoelectric module.
