Cooling device for electromagnetic induction type cookin heater

Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to provide a light and compact cooling device which is possible to use an alternating magnetic field generated in an electromagnetic induction type cooking heater which is usually used as a heater, as an energy source of the cooling device. The cooling device to be mounted on a plate of an electromagnetic induction type cooking heater including a coil by which a magnetic field is generated, the cooling device including a plurality of Peltier devices comprised of two kinds of metals or semiconductors, Peltier devices comprised of the first kind of metal or semiconductor and Peltier devices comprised of the second kind of metal or semiconductor being alternately arranged, the Peltier devices being electrically connected in series to one another through electrode plates (3, 4) to define a Peltier module A so that heat-absorption sides thereof are on the same side and heat-production sides thereof are on the other side, an electrical conductor (8) and a rectifying diode (7) being electrically connected to the electrode plates (3, 4) situated at the opposite ends of the Peltier module A.
