Abstract
A cooling and heating apparatus using a thermoelectric module, in which the thermoelectric module, a heat emitting member and a heat conducting block are integrated into a single unit, to improve the performance and durability of the thermoelectric module. The cooling and heating apparatus includes a thermoelectric module. The heat emitting member is attached to a first surface of the thermoelectric module. The heat conducting block is attached to a second surface of the thermoelectric module. The heat absorbing member is attached to the heat conducting block. A cover integrates the thermoelectric module and the heat conducting block into the single unit by fixedly covering side surfaces of the thermoelectric module and the heat conducting block and a part of an inner surface of the heat emitting member.
