The present invention relates to a flexible thermoelectric module apparatus, and more particularly, to a flexible thermoelectric module apparatus including a heat sink longitudinally extending and a thermoelectric module disposed in the heat sink, in which the heat sink has a pipe-shaped body constituting a main body and a hole longitudinally formed through the center portion of the body, the thermoelectric module has a plurality of thermoelectric plates, the thermoelectric plates are plates having predetermined length and width, are arranged longitudinally in parallel with the heat sink, with a first side in the width direction connected to the inner side of the body and a second side disposed inside the hole, are arranged in parallel with each other at circumferentially predetermined distances from each other in the hole, and have a predetermined angle to the radial direction of the heat sink such that they are inclined at a predetermined angle therebetween.

Flexible thermoelectric module apparatus

Provided is a thermoelectric module apparatus including: a pipe-shaped housing having a hole that is longitudinally formed; a thermoelectric module coupled to the housing; and heat sinks combined with the thermoelectric module, in which the pipe-shaped housing has a plurality of mount holes having predetermined width and length, longitudinally extending, and arranged circumferentially in parallel with each other, the thermoelectric module has a plurality of thermoelectric plates having predetermined width, length, and thickness, the housing is connected to first sides in the width direction of the thermoelectric plates, the thermoelectric plates are disposed in the mount holes respectively with a portion in the width direction inserted and exposed inside the hole as much as a predetermined width and a portion in the width direction protruding and exposed outside the housing as much as a predetermined width, and the heat sinks are connected to the portions exposed outside the housing.
