[0030] Combination Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a self-powered vehicle energy device, including a housing assembly 1 and a power generation assembly 2. The housing assembly 1 is installed on the top of the vehicle, and the power generation assembly 2 is electrically connected to the vehicle's battery. A power generation chamber 1a is formed inside the housing assembly 1, and the power generation assembly 2 is installed inside the power generation chamber 1a. One end of the housing assembly 1 is provided with an air inlet 1b, and the other end of the housing assembly 1 is provided with an air outlet 1c. The air inlet 1b and the air outlet 1c are connected through the power generation chamber 1a. The power generation assembly 2 includes multiple generator sets 21, which are connected in series. Each generator set 21 includes a generator 211, a rotating shaft 212, and multiple fan blades 213. The generator 211 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing assembly 1, the rotating shaft 212 is connected to the output shaft of the generator 211, and the multiple fan blades 213 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 212. Specifically, the housing assembly 1 is installed on the top of the vehicle, providing installation space for the power generation assembly 2. The air inlet 1b at one end of the housing assembly 1 allows external airflow to enter. After flowing in the power generation chamber 1a, the airflow is discharged from the air outlet 1c at the other end. The relative airflow generated when the vehicle is moving is used to guide the airflow through the power generation chamber 1a, protecting the power generation assembly 2 from the direct influence of the external environment. The power generation assembly 2 uses multiple generator sets 21 connected in series to convert the kinetic energy of the airflow into electrical energy, increasing the total power output. Each generator set 21 works collaboratively under the action of the airflow, accumulating the output electrical energy. Furthermore, when the vehicle is moving, the external airflow impacts the fan blades 213, causing the fan blades 213 to rotate. The generator set 21 transmits the mechanical energy generated by the rotation of the fan blades 213 through the shaft 212, and the generator 211 converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy.

[0031] It should be noted that the electrical energy generated by the power generation component 2 can directly provide kinetic energy to the vehicle, or the electrical energy generated by the power generation component 2 can be stored in a battery. The number and specific material of the fan blades 213 are not limited here, as long as they can be rotated by airflow. Preferably, three fan blades 213 are provided on each shaft 212. The fan blades 213 are made of carbon fiber composite material, which helps to reduce the weight of the fan blades 213, ensure the strength of the fan blades 213, and reduce energy loss. The fan blades 213 are fixedly connected to the shaft 212, and the three fan blades 213 are evenly arranged on the shaft 212, i.e., the included angle between the fan blades 213 is 120°. The specific number of generator sets 21 is also not limited; optionally, 30 generator sets 21 are used, laid flat and installed inside the housing component 1 along the airflow direction.

[0032] By installing a self-powered energy system on the roof of the car, the airflow generated during vehicle movement is fully utilized to drive the power generation component 2 to generate electricity. This design enables the car to be self-powered, greatly improving energy efficiency. When a car adopts this self-powered energy method, it can effectively reduce operating costs. At the same time, it also increases the car's driving range, providing drivers with longer driving assurance.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the housing assembly 1 includes a base plate 11, side plates 12, and a top plate 13. The base plate 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the vehicle, and the base plate 11 and the top plate 13 are connected by the side plates 12. The side plates 12 include front and rear side plates and left and right side plates. The left and right side plates are parallel to the sides of the vehicle, and the pivot 212 is perpendicular to the left and right side plates. The direction of the side plates 12 is described here with reference to the direction of vehicle travel. The air inlet 1b is formed on the front side plate, and the air outlet 1c is formed on the rear side plate. Specifically, the base plate 11 serves as the foundation of the entire housing assembly 1 and is securely installed on the top of the vehicle by bolts, welding, or other means. The left and right side plates are arranged parallel to the sides of the vehicle, meaning that the direction of the left and right side plates is the same as the direction of vehicle travel, which helps to guide the airflow smoothly through the power generation chamber 1a and reduce airflow turbulence and resistance. The top plate 13 cooperates with the side plates 12 to protect the power generation assembly 2 from the influence of the external environment, such as rain and dust. The rotating shaft 212 is positioned perpendicular to the left and right side plates, ensuring that the airflow direction is perpendicular to the shaft 212. This guarantees the effective blowing of the airflow onto the fan blades 213 during vehicle movement, improving the efficiency of the fan blades 213 in absorbing airflow energy. This design of the housing assembly 1 ensures the stability of the device installation, optimizes the airflow path, improves airflow utilization efficiency, provides a favorable working environment for the power generation assembly 2, and further enhances power generation efficiency.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the generator set 21 includes two generators 211 arranged facing each other. The output shafts of both generators 211 are connected to a rotating shaft 212, and the axes of the output shafts of both generators 211 are collinear with the axis of the rotating shaft 212. Specifically, the output shafts of the two generators 211 facing each other are oriented towards the inside of the housing assembly 1, while the output shafts of the two generators 211 are coaxial and collinear. With this arrangement, compared to a single generator 211, the combined operation of the two generators 211 increases the power generation, providing more electrical energy to the vehicle. When the rotating shaft 212 rotates, it simultaneously drives the rotors of both generators 211 to rotate, causing both generators 211 to generate electrical energy simultaneously. The output electrical energy is added together, thereby increasing the total power generation.

[0035] It should be noted that the specific connection method between the rotating shaft 212 and the generator 211 is not limited here. It can be directly fixedly connected to the output end of the generator 211. In a preferred embodiment, the output shaft of the generator 211 and the rotating shaft 212 are connected by a coupling 214. By setting the coupling 214, it is ensured that torque can be reliably transmitted between the output end of the generator 211 and the rotating shaft 212. At the same time, it can compensate for possible installation errors and axial and radial displacements between the rotating shaft 212 and the generator 211, improve the efficiency of energy transmission, reduce energy loss and equipment failure caused by unstable connection, and extend the service life of the generator 211 and the rotating shaft 212.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the vehicle's self-powered energy system further includes a rectifier assembly and a transformer assembly. The generator 211 is electrically connected to the rectifier assembly, which in turn is electrically connected to the transformer assembly. Specifically, the rectifier assembly rectifies the unstable DC power output from the generator 211, transforming it into a more stable DC power to meet the charging requirements of the vehicle's electrical equipment and battery. For example, by using rectifier elements such as diodes, the DC power output from the generator 211 is filtered and adjusted to remove fluctuations, resulting in a smoother output DC power. Optionally, a DC-AC inverter can be installed between the rectifier assembly and the transformer assembly to convert the DC power to AC power. The transformer assembly performs voltage transformation according to the voltage requirements of the vehicle's electrical equipment and battery, ensuring an appropriate output voltage. The inclusion of the rectifier assembly and transformer assembly allows the electrical energy generated by the generator 211 to better adapt to the vehicle's electrical system, improving the quality and availability of power, ensuring the normal operation of the vehicle's electrical equipment and the effective charging of the battery. Preferably, the transformer assembly has multiple output ports, each equipped with a resettable fuse. When an overload or short circuit occurs in the circuit, the circuit is automatically disconnected to protect the electrical equipment and the circuit safety; after the fault is cleared, it can automatically restore the conductive state. In optional cases, self-resetting fuses are typically composed of polymer and conductive particles. Under normal operation, their resistance is very low; when the current is too high, the generated heat causes the polymer to expand, increasing the spacing between the conductive particles and rapidly increasing the resistance, thus limiting the current; after the fault is cleared, the temperature drops, the polymer contracts, and the resistance returns to normal. This design allows for multiple output ports, facilitating the distribution and use of electrical energy and improving the applicability of the device. The self-resetting fuse enhances the safety and reliability of the circuit, reduces equipment damage and safety hazards caused by circuit faults, and avoids the hassle of frequent fuse replacements.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the casing of generator 211 is connected to the housing assembly 1 via a grounding wire. When leakage occurs in the casing of generator 211, the grounding wire conducts the current to the ground, making the potential of the casing the same as that of the ground, thus preventing electric shock accidents when personnel come into contact with it.

[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, a three-phase full-bridge rectifier module (withstand voltage 600V, current 100A) is used to output smooth DC power. The rectified DC is converted to 220V AC by a DC-AC inverter. Through a multi-winding transformer, three ports are output: 5V (10A), 12V (20A), and 24V (30A). Each port is equipped with a resettable fuse (5V / 15A, 12V / 25A, 24V / 35A). All motor housings are connected to the enclosure assembly 1 by a 4mm gap. 2 The yellow-green wires are connected, and the grounding resistance is ≤4Ω to ensure the safety of automotive electrical use.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the vehicle's self-powered energy system further includes a protective component 3. This component 3 comprises an emergency stop button 31, a temperature and humidity sensor 32, and a wind speed sensor 33. The emergency stop button 31 is located outside the air inlet 1b or air outlet 1c, while the temperature and humidity sensor 32 and wind speed sensor 33 are located inside the air inlet 1b. In case of an emergency, such as equipment failure or abnormal power generation, the operator can quickly press the emergency stop button 31 to immediately stop the system and prevent further escalation of the accident. The temperature and humidity sensor 32 monitors the temperature and humidity inside the air inlet 1b in real time to detect changes in environmental conditions and their impact on the system's operation, allowing for timely intervention. The wind speed sensor 33 monitors the airflow speed inside the air inlet 1b to assess airflow intensity, providing data support for evaluating and controlling power generation efficiency. Furthermore, when the wind speed is less than a preset value, such as 10 m / s, the generator set 21's power output cannot meet the vehicle's driving power requirements, and the system switches to the battery to power the vehicle, ensuring the smoothness and continuity of the vehicle's operation. This design enhances the safety and reliability of the device. The emergency stop button 31 can quickly stop the device in an emergency, preventing accidents. The temperature and humidity sensor 32 and the wind speed sensor 33 can monitor environmental parameters in real time, helping to promptly identify potential problems and take corresponding measures for adjustment and maintenance, thus extending the device's service life. Placing the temperature and humidity sensor 32 and the wind speed sensor 33 inside the air inlet 1b ensures the accuracy of the detection results.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the housing assembly 1 further includes a rain shield 14, which is connected to the top plate 13 and is located above the air inlet 1b. Preferably, the rain shield 14 is installed at a downward angle above the air inlet 1b and is made of high-strength plastic to prevent rainwater from directly entering the air inlet 1b and thus preventing rainwater from entering the power generation chamber 1a and damaging the power generation assembly 2. This arrangement effectively protects the power generation assembly 2 from rainwater, improves the waterproof performance of the device, extends the service life of the device, and reduces equipment failures and damage caused by rainwater.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the housing assembly 1 further includes a first dust filter 15 and a second dust filter 16. The first dust filter 15 is disposed on and covers the air inlet 1b, and the second dust filter 16 is disposed on and covers the air outlet 1c. Preferably, the first dust filter 15 and the second dust filter 16 are made of stainless steel. The first dust filter 15 and the second dust filter 16 are detachably installed at the air inlet 1b and the air outlet 1c of the housing assembly 1, respectively, for easy regular cleaning and maintenance. By setting the first dust filter 15 and the second dust filter 16, dust and impurities in the air entering the power generation chamber 1a are filtered, ensuring the normal operation of the power generation assembly 2, reducing equipment wear and malfunctions caused by dust accumulation, and extending the maintenance cycle and service life of the device.
