POWER GENERATING BLOCK PROVIDED WITH THERMOELECTRIC GENERATION UNIT

摘要

There is provided a small-sized thin type power generating block provided with a thermoelectric generator unit having excellent power generation efficiency. A power generating block provided with a thermoelectric generator unit according to the invention is provided with a thermoelectric generator unit 180 containing one or more of electrothermic elements 140, further, including a 1st thermally conductive plate 120 constituting a heat absorbing plate and including a 2nd thermally conductive plate constituting a heat radiating plate. A thermal conductive body 244 made of a thermally conductive material is arranged to be brought into contact with the 2nd thermally conductive plate 170. The power generating block with a thermoelectric generator unit is provided with a step-up circuit block 240 including a step-up circuit 410 for boosting electromotive force generated by the thermoelectric generator unit 180 and a power supply operation control circuit 416 for controlling operation of storing the electromotive force generated by the thermoelectric generator unit 180 and controlling operation of the step-up circuit 410.
