The air guide mechanism 14 is symmetrically mounted on the left and right sides of the vehicle's engine compartment. The air guide mechanism 14 includes a cover plate 16 and air guide plates 15. The cover plate 16 has openings at the front and rear, serving as an air inlet 13 and an air outlet 17, respectively. The air guide plates 15 are mounted on the inside of the cover plate 16 to guide the direction of wind entering the cover plate 16. A vertical shaft seat 18 is mounted on the cover plate 16, through which the wind turbine 1 is rotatably mounted on the inside of the cover plate 16.

[0017] Generator 2, rectifier 3, battery 4, and inverter 5 are all installed in the vehicle's engine compartment. The other end of generator 2 is connected to rectifier 3, battery 4, and inverter 5 in that order. There are two small generators, each mounted on either side of the vehicle's engine compartment. When the vehicle is in motion, both generators simultaneously power the air conditioning system. The shafts of both generators 2 are connected to the shaft of wind turbine 1. When wind turbine 1 rotates, it drives the main shafts of generators 2 to rotate. Rectifier 3 converts the three-phase AC power output by generator 2 into DC power. Battery 4, consisting of multiple 200AH / 12V cells, stores the rectified DC power. Inverter 5 converts the power stored in battery 4 into AC power for transmission to the air conditioning system. The other end of inverter 5 is also connected to vehicle battery 19, which in turn is connected to controller 6. Controller 6 is mounted on the vehicle's console and connected to battery 4 and the air conditioning system to control the charging and discharging of battery 4 and the starting and stopping of the air conditioning system. The wind turbine is provided with a wind rotor, and the air inlet, wind rotor and generator constitute a wind power system.

[0018] The air conditioning device includes a refrigeration compressor 7 , a condenser 11 , a receiver-drier 10 , an expansion valve 9 and an evaporator 8 . The refrigeration compressor 7 is installed inside the vehicle engine compartment and is used to compress and discharge the refrigerant. One end of the refrigeration compressor 7 is connected to the high-pressure pipeline, and the refrigeration compressor 7 is electrically connected to the controller 6; the condenser 11 is installed behind the radiator frame at the front end of the vehicle and is used to cool the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant. One end of the condenser 11 is connected to the high-pressure pipeline, and a condensing fan 20 is provided on the condenser 11; the liquid storage dryer 10 is used to filter impurities and moisture in the refrigerant, and one end of the liquid storage dryer 10 is connected to one end of the condenser 11 through a liquid pipeline; the expansion valve 9 is used to throttle the refrigerant, and one end of the expansion valve 9 is connected to one end of the liquid storage dryer 10 through a liquid pipeline; the evaporator 8 is installed below the front windshield frame in the vehicle and is used for heat exchange between the refrigerant and the air in the vehicle. One end of the evaporator 8 is connected to one end of the expansion valve 9 through a liquid pipeline, and the other end is connected to the refrigeration compressor 7 through a return air pipeline; a blower 12 is provided above the evaporator 8 to blow the cooled air into the vehicle compartment.

[0019] Working Principle: When a vehicle is moving, air flows from the air inlet 13 through the air guide 14 toward the wind turbine 1, driving the wind turbine 1 to rotate, thereby driving the generator 2 to rotate and start generating electricity. The AC power generated by the generator 2 is rectified by the rectifier 3 and stored in the battery 4. Under the control of the controller 6, the battery 4 discharges and is converted into AC power by the inverter 5 to power the air conditioning system. When the battery 4 is fully charged and the power of the generator 2 exceeds the required cooling load of the vehicle, the excess power flows to the vehicle battery 19, directly supplying part of the power to the electric vehicle. When the power of the generator 2 is less than the required cooling load of the vehicle and the battery 4 is insufficient, the vehicle battery 19 is used to provide part of the power to the air conditioning system. When the vehicle is moving, the air inlet 13 opens, and some air enters the air guide 14. The air is then directed by the air guide plate 15 to the wind turbine 1, driving the wind turbine 1 to rotate at high speed. Part of the wind energy is converted into mechanical energy of the wind turbine 1, which is then converted into electrical energy by the generator 2. The air then flows out through the air outlet 17.

[0020] The present invention is further illustrated below by calculation.
