[0018] The frame 1 is equipped with a heat sink 11, a battery holder 12, a compressor holder 13, and an air duct 14. The air duct 14 is located at the front of the frame 1, and the heat sink 11 is located at the rear of the frame 1.

[0019] The cooling and air conditioning system 2 includes an integrated radiator 21, an electric compressor 22, and an intake fan 23, integrating the vehicle's cooling and air conditioning systems. The electric compressor 22 is mounted on the vehicle frame 1 via a compressor mount 13. The integrated radiator 21 is mounted on the vehicle frame 1 via a radiator mount 11. The intake fan 23 is installed inside the air intake shroud 14 of the vehicle frame 1.

[0020] The integrated radiator 21 includes a hydraulic oil cooling core 211, an electric fan 212, a condenser 213, an air guide shroud 214, and an evaporator 215.

[0021] The hydraulic oil cooling core 211 is used to cool the hydraulic oil of the entire vehicle. An electric fan 212 is located on the side of the hydraulic oil cooling core 211 and is a suction-type cooling fan that draws away hot air from the surface of the hydraulic oil cooling core 211 and exhausts it outside the vehicle. The air guide shroud 214 has an irregular shape and includes an air inlet 2141, an air outlet 2142, a side mounting port 2143, and a concave seat 2144. The air guide shroud 214 is fixedly connected to the cooling seat 11 of the frame 1. The air outlet of the air guide shroud 214 is fixedly connected to the hydraulic oil cooling core 211, and the air inlet of the air guide shroud 214 communicates with the internal compartment of the frame 1.

The condenser core 2132 is inserted into the air guide 214 through a side mounting port 2143, while the liquid reservoir 2131 protrudes from the outside of the air guide 214. The mounting base 2133 is fixedly connected to the side mounting port 2143 of the air guide 214. A certain distance is maintained between the condenser core 2132 and the hydraulic oil cooling core 211 to reduce their mutual interference.

[0023] The evaporator 215 includes a blower 2151, a cooling core 2152, a heating core 2153, a return air inlet 2154, and an air outlet 2155.

The power battery 31 is fixedly connected to the battery holder 12 of the frame 1. The motor 32 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the electronic control unit 33 is located on both sides inside the frame 1. During vehicle operation, the intake fan 23 of the cooling and air conditioning system 2 draws cool air from outside the vehicle into the engine compartment through the air duct 14 of the frame 1 to cool the motor 32, electronic control unit 33, and other components inside the engine compartment. At the same time, the integrated radiator 21 draws air from inside the engine compartment, and through the air inlet 2141 of the air duct 214, draws hot air from inside the engine compartment into the integrated radiator 21 and exhausts it outside the engine compartment to cool the entire vehicle.
