Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of flying cars, and in particular to an operating system for flying cars. Background Art

[0002] A driver drives a car by manipulating the steering wheel, clutch, brake, and accelerator to control the car's movement, while a pilot flies an airplane by manipulating the steering wheel and pedals to control the airplane's flight. Due to the significant difference in operating habits between the two, it brings great difficulties to the driver in driving a flying car.

[0003] There are two ways to control flying cars at present, specifically: one is to operate the flying car by combining the automatic driving mode of the navigation system, and the other is to control the flying car by joystick. Although the former saves a lot of trouble, it cannot give full play to the driver's control intention, and at the same time, when dealing with emergencies, it cannot effectively avoid them through human will. The latter joystick control method is similar to the current mature drone remote control habits, but it cannot be effectively combined with the ground driving control system. If the two sets of control are separated, not only an additional set of control mechanisms is required, making the operating space very narrow and the operating space range larger, but also the driver's operating habits are difficult to adapt in time. The driving control of aerial flight generally needs to reach the level of professional pilots to pass.

[0004] In addition, the accelerator pedal on the current electronic throttle type car is equipped with a corresponding sensor. The driver presses the accelerator pedal to make the sensor generate an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the electronic control unit (ECU) of the car controller center. The ECU then sends a command to the DC motor connected to the electronic throttle, and the motor drives the throttle to rotate, so that the throttle opening changes, thereby completing the entire operation process. In addition, the steering column on the current steering power type car is also equipped with an angle sensor, but this sensor also only sends signals to the car controller center ECU. In addition, the current clutch pedal has a mechanical friction type, an electromagnetic type, and a hydraulic type, and the most important one is the mechanical friction type, which has no sensor. In addition, the current brake pedal is a mechanical structure, and there are pneumatic and hydraulic brakes. The hydraulic brake is achieved by pressing the brake pedal to drive the push rod piston of the vacuum pump to move. After the oil moves to the wheel cylinder piston, the two brake shoes rotate around the support pin, thereby pressing the friction plate against the inner surface of the brake drum. The pneumatic type is achieved by pressing the brake pedal to drive the brake control valve to move, causing the air pressure in the brake air chamber to change, driving the brake shoe to move, thereby pressing the friction plate against the inner surface of the brake drum.

[0005] Currently, no effective solution has been proposed for the problems in the related technologies. Summary of the invention

[0027] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an operating system for a flying car is provided.

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, the operating system for a flying car according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a clutch pedal connected to a clutch; a first angle sensor 3, which is arranged on the clutch pedal, and the first angle sensor 3 is used to generate an angle signal according to the sensed operation action of the driver; a brake pedal connected to a braking device; a switch sensor 5, which is arranged on the brake pedal, and the switch sensor 5 is used to generate a switch signal according to the sensed operation action of the driver; a flight computer 1, which is electrically connected to the first angle sensor 3 and the switch sensor 5 respectively, and the flight computer 1 is used to adjust the flight attitude of the flying car according to the signals sensed by the first angle sensor 3 and / or the switch sensor 5; a switching switch 2, which is connected to the flight computer 1, and the switching switch 2 is used to switch the flight mode and the land mode of the flying car.

[0030] With the aid of the above technical solution of the present invention, by setting an angle sensor on the clutch pedal and a switch sensor on the brake pedal, and by using the flight computer to adjust the flight attitude of the flying car according to the signals sensed by the angle sensor and / or the switch sensor, the flight attitude of the flying car can be adjusted by the sensing signal generated by the sensor set on the control device without changing the driver's driving habit of driving the car, so that the control actions of the flying car in the air mode can be quickly learned and mastered, thereby solving many inconveniences caused by different control habits of the flying car when driving on land and flying in the air in the prior art.

[0031] In order to better describe the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0032] The technical solution of the present invention makes the driving mode of the flying car when it is traveling on land consistent with the driving habits of the driver in the prior art. The present invention adjusts the flight attitude of the flying car by setting the driving method of the flying mode of the flying car through the sensing signal generated by the sensor set on the control device, so that the driver does not need to change the driver's control habits when driving the flying car in the flying mode. At the same time, the technical solution also makes the process of the driver controlling the flying car simple, universal, convenient and operable, and at the same time, it does not need to increase the control mechanism.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, the operating system for the flying car in the present invention includes: a first angle sensor 3, a second angle sensor 4, a switch sensor 5, and a third angle sensor 6, wherein the first angle sensor 3 is arranged on a clutch pedal, and the clutch pedal is connected to the clutch of the flying car, the second angle sensor 4 is arranged on a steering shaft of a steering wheel, and the steering wheel is connected to the steering structure of the flying car, the switch sensor 5 is arranged on a brake pedal, and the brake pedal is connected to the braking device of the flying car, and the third angle sensor 6 is arranged on an accelerator pedal, and the accelerator pedal is connected to the engine throttle of the flying car. The above-mentioned multiple sensors generate sensing signals according to the operation actions of the corresponding operating devices by the driver, and send the sensing signals to the flight computer 1, and the flight computer 1 is respectively connected to the first angle sensor 3. The second angle sensor 4, the switch sensor 5 and the third angle sensor 6 are connected. The flight computer 1 receives the sensing signal and determines the operation instruction of the flying car corresponding to the sensing signal according to the received sensing signal. For example, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the second angle sensor 4 senses that the driver turns the steering wheel to the left, so that the angle sensor 4 generates an angle signal and sends the angle signal to the flight computer 1. The flight computer 1 determines whether the brake pedal is stepped on according to the received angle signal. When the brake pedal is not stepped on, the flight computer 1 determines that the flight posture of the flying car corresponding to the first angle signal is a left turn, and then generates an instruction to control the corresponding servo motor, so that the flying car can realize a left turn in the flight mode. In addition, Figure 1 It is also shown that servo motor 7, servo motor 8, servo motor 9, and servo motor 10 are all connected to the flight computer 1, and at the same time, the above-mentioned multiple servo motors are all controlled by the flight computer 1. At the same time, the operating system also includes: a switching switch 2, which is connected to the flight computer 1, and the switching switch 2 can switch the land mode and the air mode of the flying car. At the same time, the above-mentioned multiple sensors and the flight computer 1 are all effective when the flying car is in the air mode, and when the flying car is in the land mode, the above-mentioned multiple sensors and the flight computer 1 will not affect the driver's normal driving of the flying car.

[0034] Furthermore, it is understandable that Figure 1 Four sensors and four servo motors are shown in FIG. 1 , but those skilled in the art will appreciate that those skilled in the art can set the sensors and servo motors according to actual needs. For example, according to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the brake pedal of the flying car has two third shells 18 arranged opposite to each other, and switch sensors 5 are arranged on the two third shells 18, which is not limited in the present invention.

[0035] In addition, from Figure 2It can be seen that the steering wheel includes a disc body 11 and a steering shaft 12. The disc body 11 is fixedly arranged on the steering shaft 12, and the other end of the steering shaft 12 is connected to the steering system of the flying car, so that the driver can transfer the torque to the steering shaft 12 by rotating the disc body 11. At the same time, the steering shaft 12 is sleeved with a first shell 13 and a second angle sensor 4. The first shell is arranged on a side close to the disc body 11. The first shell 13 is a shell of the steering shaft 12. The steering shaft 12 can rotate in the first shell 13. The disc body 11 is connected at one end of the first shell 13. A second angle sensor 4 is also arranged on the other end of the first shell 13. The second angle sensor 4 integrates a hollow shaft 14 and a second shell 15, wherein the hollow shaft 14 is a hollow cylindrical structure, and the hollow shaft 14 rotates around the second shell 15. The hollow shaft 14 is sleeved on the steering shaft 12. Through this structure, the second angle sensor 4 can rotate with the steering shaft 12, and then the information such as the rotation angle and rotation direction of the steering wheel can be detected. In addition, the second housing 15 is provided with an interface 17, which can send the angle signal sensed by the second angle sensor 4 to the flight computer 1, that is, the interface 17 is used for communication between the second angle sensor 4 and the flight computer 1. In addition, the first housing 13 is connected to the body of the flying car, and the second housing 15 is connected to the first housing 13 through a fixing plate 16, so that the rotation information of the steering wheel can be accurately sensed.

[0036] In addition, from Figure 3 It can be seen that the brake pedal includes a third housing 18, and a first mounting hole 24 is provided in the third housing 18. The brake pedal also includes a first pivot portion 23, which is provided in the first mounting hole 24, and a switch sensor 5 is provided on the inner wall of the first mounting hole 24. In addition, a first flat plate portion 22 and a first pressing portion 19 are respectively extended from both ends of the first pivot portion 23. The brake pedal also includes a first spring 21, and the two ends of the first spring 21 are respectively abutted against the first flat plate portion 22 and the inner wall of the first mounting hole 24. The first spring 21 can make the first flat plate portion 22 move after stepping on the first pressing portion 19. Restore to the original position. In addition, the switch sensor 5 is used to sense whether the first pivot part 23 is rotated into the effective sensing range of the switch sensor 5. Specifically: when the brake pedal is not stepped on, the first pivot part 23 is not in the effective sensing range of the switch sensor 5, and the output is an "off" signal; when the brake pedal is stepped on, the first pivot part 23 enters the effective sensing range of the switch sensor 5, and the output is an "on" signal. Of course, the "on" and "off" signals may be low levels or high levels, which can be set according to the sensor connection circuit. Then the switch sensor 5 sends the switch signal of the sensing belt to the flight computer 1.

[0037] In addition, from Figure 4It can be seen that the clutch pedal includes a fourth shell 25, in which a second mounting hole 29 is provided, and the clutch pedal includes a second pivot portion 27, which is provided in the second mounting hole 29, and the second pivot portion 27 is provided with a first angle sensor 3 at the rotation center. At the same time, a second flat plate portion 30 and a second pressing portion 26 are respectively extended from both ends of the second pivot portion 27, and the clutch pedal also includes a second spring 28, and the two ends of the second spring 28 are respectively abutted against the second flat plate portion 30 and the inner wall of the second mounting hole 29, and the second spring 28 enables the second flat plate portion 30 to return to its original position after the driver steps on the second pressing portion 26. In addition, the first angle sensor 3 and the second pivoting part 27 are concentrically arranged and rotate relative to each other, wherein the first angle sensor 3 is a Hall-type angle sensor, that is, by concentrically arranging the first angle sensor 3 and the second pivoting part 27, the two change the strength of the magnetic field when they rotate relative to each other, thereby realizing the change of the strength of the signal. In addition, the first angle sensor 3 includes a housing and a shaft of the sensor, the housing and the shaft can rotate relative to each other, the housing is pivotally connected to the movable end, and the shaft is connected to the second pivoting part 27. Since the angle sensor itself has a relative rotation, an angle signal will be generated, so its housing and the shaft must be fixed and the other relatively rotated during sensing. In addition, those skilled in the art can also set the first angle sensor 3 according to actual needs. For example, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first angle sensor 3 is a potentiometer sensor, and the first angle sensor 3 can be set on the inner wall of the second mounting hole 29, so that the resistance in the circuit is changed by the rotation of the second pivoting part 27 to realize the change of the strength of the signal. The first angle sensor 3 can also be regarded as an arc-shaped sliding rheostat, which is not limited by the present invention.

[0038] In addition, it can be understood that, since the structures of the clutch and the throttle are similar, the flying car includes a fifth shell, a third mounting hole is provided in the fifth shell, the accelerator pedal includes a third pivot portion, the third pivot portion is provided in the third mounting hole, and the third pivot portion is provided with a third angle sensor 6 at the rotation center. In addition, a third flat plate portion and a third pressing portion are respectively extended from both ends of the third pivot portion, and the accelerator pedal also includes a third spring, and the two ends of the third spring are respectively abutted against the third flat plate portion and the inner wall of the third mounting hole. The third spring enables the driver to restore the third flat plate portion to its original position after stepping on the third pressing portion. Similar structures can be referred to. Figure 4 .

[0039] In addition, the servo motor controls the corresponding engine throttle opening size, and the engine drives the lift unit installed at a fixed position of the flying car to operate. The posture of the flying car changes with the change of the operating speed of each lift unit.

[0040] In addition, from Figure 5It can be seen that the number of the plurality of lift units disposed on the body of the flying car is four, and the four lift units specifically include lift unit n1, lift unit n2, lift unit n3, and lift unit n4. Figure 5 Four lifting units are shown, but those skilled in the art can set the number and location of the lifting units according to actual needs. For example, according to one embodiment of the present invention, eight lifting units are set on the body of the flying car, and the eight lifting units are set in pairs. Figure 5 The positions of the four lift units in the embodiment are not limited in the present invention.

[0041] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below through Table 1.

[0042]

[0043] Table 1

[0044] It can be seen from Table 1 above that the rotation speed changes of the four lift units can achieve different flight postures of the flying car, specifically:

[0045] The driver's operation of the accelerator pedal can realize the ascending and descending flight attitude of the flying car. For example, when the driver steps on the accelerator pedal downward, the third angle sensor 6 generates an angle signal 1, and the flight computer 1 receives and generates the angle signal 1, and determines that the flight attitude of the flying car is ascending according to the angle signal 1, and controls the rotation speeds of the four lifting units to be the same. When the driver lifts the accelerator pedal upward, the third angle sensor 6 generates an angle signal 2, and the flight computer 1 receives and generates the angle signal 2, and determines that the flight attitude of the flying car is descending according to the angle signal 2, and controls the rotation speeds of the four lifting units to be the same.

[0046] The driver's operations on the clutch pedal and the brake pedal can achieve the pitching flight attitude of the flying car. For example, when the driver does not step on the brake pedal and simultaneously steps down the clutch pedal, the first angle sensor 3 generates an angle signal 3. The flight computer 1 receives the generated angle signal 3 and determines the flight attitude of the flying car as pitching forward based on this angle signal 3. Then, the rotational speeds of the above four lift units are set to n1 = n2 < n3 = n4. At the same time, the amplitudes by which lift unit n3 and lift unit n4 are greater than lift unit n1 and lift unit n2 are determined by the angle magnitude. The following situation is similar. After that, when the driver lifts up the clutch pedal, the first angle sensor 3 generates an angle signal 4. The flight computer 1 receives the generated angle signal 4 and determines the flight attitude of the flying car as pitching backward based on this angle signal 4. Then, the rotational speeds of the above four lift units are set to n1 = n2 > n3 = n4. In addition, another situation is that if the driver wants to achieve the backward pitching action first, it must be combined with the brake pedal. For example, when the driver steps down the brake pedal and then steps down the clutch pedal, the first angle sensor 3 generates an angle signal 3, and the brake pedal generates a switch signal. The flight computer 1 receives the generated angle signal 3 and switch signal 1 and determines the flight attitude of the flying car as pitching backward based on this angle signal 3 and switch signal 1. Then, the rotational speeds of the above four lift units are set to n1 = n2 > n3 = n4. After that, when the driver steps down the brake pedal and then lifts up the clutch pedal, the first angle sensor 3 generates an angle signal 4 and a switch signal 2. The flight computer 1 receives the generated angle signal 4 and switch signal 2 and determines the flight attitude of the flying car as pitching forward based on this angle signal 4 and switch signal 2. Then, the rotational speeds of the above four lift units are set to n1 = n2 < n3 = n4;

[0047] The driver's operations on the brake pedal and the steering wheel can achieve the roll attitude of the flying car. For example, when the driver steps on the brake pedal downward and turns the steering wheel to the left, the switch sensor 5 generates a switch signal 1, and the second angle sensor 4 generates an angle signal 5. The flight computer 1 receives the generated switch signal 1 and angle signal 5, generates a combined signal, and based on this combined signal, determines that the flight attitude of the flying car is a left roll, and sets the rotational speeds of the above four lift units to n1 = n3 < n2 = n4. When the driver steps on the brake pedal downward and turns the steering wheel to the right, the switch sensor 5 generates a switch signal 2, and the second angle sensor 4 generates an angle signal 6. The flight computer 1 receives the generated switch signal 2 and angle signal 6, and based on this switch signal 2 and angle signal 6, generates a combined signal, and thus based on this combined signal, determines that the flight attitude of the flying car is a right roll, and sets the rotational speeds of the above four lift units to n1 = n3 > n2 = n4. In addition, when the flying car is in the flight mode and the steering wheel, clutch, and accelerator are all in their initial states, the driver steps on the brake to control the flying car to achieve a hovering action, and when a hover signal occurs, if other signals change, the attitude signal changes accordingly;

[0048] The driver's operation on the steering wheel can achieve the yaw attitude of the flying car. For example, when the driver does not step on the brake pedal and turns the steering wheel to the left, the second angle sensor 4 generates an angle signal 5. The flight computer 1 receives the generated angle signal 5 and based on this angle signal 5, determines that the flight attitude of the flying car is a left turn, and sets the rotational speeds of the above four lift units to n1 = n4 < n2 = n3. When the driver does not step on the brake pedal and turns the steering wheel to the right, the second angle sensor 4 generates an angle signal 6. The flight computer 1 receives the generated angle signal 6 and based on this angle signal 6, determines that the flight attitude of the flying car is a right turn, and sets the rotational speeds of the above four lift units to n1 = n4 > n2 = n3.

[0049] In addition, the above flight attitudes can be independent of each other, and can also be a combination of two or more groups of actions. For example, when stepping on the clutch, turning the steering wheel, and stepping on the accelerator at the same time, the resulting action is a combined action of roll, pitch, and lift.

[0050] In addition, the technical solution of the present invention is described in detail again through Table 2 below.

[0051]

[0052] Table 2

[0053] Table 2 above is a one-to-one correspondence between sensor signals and posture changes, where “——” represents a signal that does not participate in the combination, “+” represents an enhanced signal, “-” represents a weakened signal, “00” represents an initial position signal, “1” represents an on signal, and “0” represents an off signal.

[0054] In addition, it can be seen from Table 2 that, except for hovering, other postures can produce combined actions with each other. (Note: Hovering is a special state in the lifting posture, which plays a very important role in the safety design of the aircraft. As long as it can rise off the ground, it can hover in the air at a specific throttle angle. That is to say, the speed of the lift unit controlled in the hovering state is certain. If the pilot wants to get a hovering posture at a certain height, then the pilot must first increase the throttle to a certain degree, then reduce the throttle, and then maintain the throttle angle, then the hovering state will be obtained; on the other hand, when the switch sensor 5 is set to have an on signal, the lift unit speed controlled by the initial state of the throttle is the speed in the hovering state, then a switch signal is given by the brake, and at the same time Lift the throttle until it returns to the initial state. At this time, the combination of the two signals is the hovering signal, as shown in Table 2. It can be seen that the two hovering states can be switched between each other. For example, when there is no brake, controlling the throttle can achieve hovering, but the hovering state is not very stable. In this state, step on the brake and gradually reduce the throttle until it is completely released. At this time, it will turn into the hovering state, and the hovering state is stable because the "on" or "off" signal of the switch sensor does not change within a certain angle range. In this state, release the brake and the flying car begins to descend. Therefore, the driver should gradually increase the throttle. At this time, the descent speed of the flying car decreases. When it decreases to 0, it will be converted to the hovering state. )
