Abstract
A thermoelectric generator transmitter includes: a hollow exterior frame having open ends; a heat-receiving plate covering one of the open ends of the exterior frame; a columnar member standing on the heat-receiving plate; a thermoelectric generation module arranged for facilitating heat transfer between the columnar member and the thermoelectric generation module; a radiator plate covering a part of the other one of the open ends of the exterior frame, the part corresponding to a location of the thermoelectric generation module; a processor drivable by electricity generated by the thermoelectric generation module and capable of outputting a detection signal detected by a sensor to an external device; and a terminal that receives the detection signal of the sensor from the external device. An inside of the exterior frame is divided into a location of the thermoelectric generation module and the processor and a location of the terminal.
