Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of flying cars, and in particular relates to a flying car power device based on a wheel hub motor. Background Art

[0002] Flying cars are an effective combination of cars and aircraft, which can travel on the ground and fly in the sky. The emergence of flying cars can effectively solve problems such as ground traffic congestion, but due to technical complexity and other reasons, flying cars have not yet been widely used, but their prospects are bright.

[0003] The flying (take-off and landing and navigation) power unit of a flying car is generally composed of a propeller or a ducted fan, while the car (driving) power unit is basically the same as that of a general car. At present, flying cars can be divided into two categories according to the configuration characteristics of their power units. One type is the independent type, that is, the car power unit and the flight power unit are independent mechanisms, and the car wheels do not need to change their position when switching between car mode and flight mode. However, since the car power unit and the flight power unit in the independent flying car operate independently, the structure of the whole vehicle is larger and the weight of the vehicle is also heavier. The other type is the conversion type, in which the car power unit and the flight power unit are generally integrated into a power system (wheel system), and the position of the car wheels changes when switching between car mode and flight mode. The conversion type flying car has the advantages of small structure volume and light weight, and has a good development trend.

[0004] At present, the wheel system of transformable flying cars generally integrates components such as drive motors, reducers and clutches, which leads to a large unsprung mass of the car, which easily causes problems with poor handling and stability. Summary of the invention

The wheel hub motor 6 is electrically connected to the vehicle control system and is controlled by the control system.

[0046] See also Figure 3 , 9 In order to achieve wheel braking, a brake disc 402 is coaxially arranged at one end of the inner shaft 4 close to the connecting flange 401 for mounting the brake caliper assembly 5. Fig. 9 As shown, the brake caliper assembly 5 includes a mounting ring 501, a first brake caliper 502 and a second brake caliper 503.

[0047] See also Figure 3 , 4 10. The special-shaped end of the support shaft 8 is provided with an articulation shaft 801 and a first articulation hole 802. The two articulation shafts 801 are arranged horizontally and symmetrically on both sides of the end of the support shaft 8. The axis of the articulation shaft 801 intersects the axis of the support shaft 8 vertically. The articulation shaft 801 is used to articulate with the horizontal end of the mounting frame 10. The first articulation hole 802 of the support shaft 8 is located at the upper edge of the end of the support shaft 8, parallel to the articulation shaft 801, and is used to articulate with one end of the telescopic vibration reduction mechanism 9 through a pin.

[0048] See also Figure 1-6, 11-12, the mounting frame 10 is fixed to the frame, and the mounting frame 10 includes a vertical rod 101 and two cross rods 102. The vertical rod 101 is a V-shaped structure, and the V-shaped opening is vertically fixed to the frame downward.

[0049] See also Figure 1-6 , Fig.11 The telescopic vibration damping mechanism 9 includes a telescopic hydraulic cylinder 901 and a vibration damping spring 902 coaxially sleeved on the outside of the hydraulic cylinder 901. The hydraulic cylinder 901 is connected to the hydraulic system and is controlled by the vehicle control system. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 901 is hinged to the first hinge hole 802 of the support shaft 8, and the fixed end of the hydraulic cylinder 901 is hinged to the second hinge hole of the mounting frame 10. The axis of the telescopic vibration damping mechanism 9 is coplanar with the axis of the support shaft 8. When the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 901 is extended, it pushes the upper edge of the inner end of the support shaft 8 to flip around the hinge axis 801 of the mounting frame 10 and the support shaft 8 to the horizontal, so that the wheel hub 2 is parallel to the ground, and the power device is switched to the flight mode; when the hydraulic cylinder 901 is retracted and reset, it pulls the support shaft 8 to flip and reset, so that the wheel hub 2 is perpendicular to the ground, and the power device is switched to the driving mode. At this time, the vibration damping spring 902 is in a contracted state, and elastically offsets the two ends of the hydraulic cylinder 901, which plays a vibration damping role for the wheel in the driving state.

[0050] See also Figure 1 , 3 4. In driving mode, the wheel is in a vertical state as a whole, the tire 1 touches the ground, and the output shaft of the wheel motor 11, the universal joint 12, and the inner shaft 4 are coaxial. At this time, the output speed of the wheel motor 11 is controlled, and the universal joint 12 is driven by the output shaft of the wheel motor to rotate, thereby driving the inner shaft 4 to rotate, and then driving the wheel hub 2 to rotate to realize wheel rotation. In driving mode, the propeller 13 does not move. The vehicle turns and turns on the spot are completed by controlling the wheel speeds of the four power devices.

[0051] See also Figure 2 , 5 6. In the flight mode, under the push of the telescopic vibration reduction mechanism 9, the support shaft 8 turns around the hinge shaft 801 between the mounting frame 10 and the support shaft 8, so that the wheel is in a horizontal state as a whole. At this time, the two ends of the universal joint 12 are in a vertical state, and the wheel side motor 11 does not work. By controlling the rotation of the wheel hub motor 6, its rotating shell drives the propeller 13 to rotate, thereby generating flight propulsion. By controlling the speed of the propeller 13 in the four power units, the vehicle can complete actions such as climbing, cruising, descending, turning and turning around in place.

[0052] The present invention integrates ground driving and air flying modules into one power device, which is switched by changing the working mode of the device. It has a compact structure, diverse functions, and the characteristics of light unsprung mass of the automobile, which is beneficial to automobile control and stability.
