Currently, the intelligent-by-wire chassis technology is relatively mature and has the characteristic of being easy to operate. There are various small intelligent vehicles on the market that use a by-wire chassis as the base and are equipped with a multi-functional frame above, which can play different functional roles.

[0041] The full-vehicle intelligent experimental vehicle described in the present invention includes a mechanically deformable upper vehicle frame, an intelligent by-wire chassis located at the bottom of the upper vehicle frame, and a sensor installation and adjustment platform.

[0042] The mechanically deformable upper vehicle frame 1 is installed on the upper part of the by-wire intelligent chassis vehicle and is mainly composed of ten support rods that can freely change the rotation angle and two telescopic rods. The support rods are connected by a designed rotation limit device and can freely change the angle between the support rods. With the cooperation of the two telescopic rods, the vehicle appearance can be changed.
[0043] Such as Figure 1 And Figure 2As shown, the mechanically deformable upper frame 1 specifically includes two groups of support rods, which are respectively located on both sides of the experimental vehicle. The two groups of support rods are hinged by a transverse rigid rod; each group of support rods includes a vehicle front rotating rod 101, a vehicle front side rotating rod 102, a vehicle middle rotating rod 103, and a vehicle rear rotating rod 104. The vehicle front side rotating rod 102 is formed by hinging two rotating rods. Among them, the two groups of support rods are hinged to the rotation limiting mechanism 2 by a rigid rod. The rear end of the vehicle front rotating rod 101 is hinged to the front end of the vehicle front side rotating rod 102 through the rotation limiting mechanism 2. The front end of the vehicle front rotating rod 101 is hinged to the front end of the intelligent by-wire chassis through the rotation limiting mechanism 2. The rear end of the vehicle front side rotating rod 102 is hinged with a sensor mounting and adjustment platform through the rotation limiting mechanism 2. The rear end of the sensor mounting and adjustment platform is connected with a vertically arranged frame sliding rod 110; the front end of the vehicle middle rotating rod 103 is slidably connected to the frame sliding rod 110, and the rear end is hinged to the front end of the vehicle rear rotating rod 104 through the rotation limiting mechanism 2.

The outer side of the internal gear 201 is connected to each rotating rod of the upper frame. The transmission gear 202 and the internal gear 201 are fixed on the same shaft. The speed increasing pinion 203 meshes with the transmission gear 202. The speed increasing pinion 203 is eccentrically connected to the limiting rod 204 through a rigid rod.

A horizontal lifting mechanism 7 is installed on the first sliding rail 108. A lidar 106 is installed on the horizontal lifting mechanism 7. A camera 105 is installed on the rotating mechanism 6.
[0046] As Figure 4 shown, the intelligent by-wire chassis includes a chassis front-end frame 3, a chassis body frame 4, a chassis rear-end frame 5, a wheelbase telescoping mechanism, and a track width telescoping mechanism.
[0047] In a specific embodiment, a millimeter-wave radar mounting hole 303 is provided at the front end of the chassis front-end frame 3, and a millimeter-wave radar 109 is installed in the millimeter-wave radar mounting hole 303.
[0048] The wheelbase telescoping mechanism is mainly completed by a pneumatic telescoping piston. In a specific embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the wheelbase telescoping mechanism includes a first pneumatic telescopic rod 305 and a second pneumatic telescopic rod 503. The chassis head frame 3 includes an upper sliding rod 301 of the chassis head frame, a lower sliding rod 302 of the chassis head frame, and two opposite side brackets 306 of the chassis head frame. Multiple first limiting holes 304 are respectively engraved in the middle parts of the upper sliding rod 301 and the lower sliding rod 302 of the chassis head frame. The front ends of the side brackets 306 of the chassis head frame are slidably placed on the upper sliding rod 301 and the lower sliding rod 302 of the chassis head frame, and are limited and fixed to the first limiting holes 304 through screws. A vehicle front suspension is installed on the side brackets 306 of the chassis head frame; the two side brackets 306 of the chassis head frame are connected by the first pneumatic telescopic rod 305. By pushing the side brackets 306 of the chassis head frame to slide on the upper sliding rod 301 and the lower sliding rod 302 of the chassis head frame through the first pneumatic telescopic rod 305, a simple change in the wheelbase can be achieved. The structure of the chassis tail frame 5 is similar to that of the chassis head frame 3. The chassis tail frame 5 includes an upper sliding rod of the chassis tail frame, a lower sliding rod of the chassis tail frame, and two opposite side brackets 501 of the chassis tail frame. Multiple second limiting holes are respectively engraved in the middle parts of the upper sliding rod and the lower sliding rod of the chassis tail frame. The rear ends of the side brackets 501 of the chassis tail frame are slidably placed on the upper sliding rod and the lower sliding rod of the chassis tail frame, and are limited by screws inserted into the second limiting holes; a vehicle rear suspension is installed on the side brackets 501 of the chassis tail frame, and the two side brackets 501 of the chassis tail frame are connected by the second pneumatic telescopic rod 503. By pushing the side brackets 501 of the chassis tail frame to move on the upper sliding rod and the lower sliding rod of the chassis tail frame through the second pneumatic telescopic rod 503.
[0049] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the chassis body frame 4 includes a front fixed rod 401 of the chassis body frame, a rigid thin rod 402, and a rear fixed rod 406 of the chassis body frame. Third limiting holes corresponding to the first limiting holes 304 are provided on the front fixed rod 401 of the chassis body frame, and the rear ends of the two side brackets 306 of the chassis head frame are slidably placed in the third limiting holes. Fourth limiting holes corresponding to the second limiting holes are provided on the rear fixed rod 406 of the chassis body frame, and the front ends of the two side brackets 501 of the chassis tail frame are slidably placed in the fourth limiting holes. Two groups of rigid thin rods 402 are provided, distributed on the left and right sides of the chassis body frame 4; each group of rigid thin rods 402 has two rods, and the front and rear ends of each rigid thin rod 402 are respectively connected to the front fixed rod 401 and the rear fixed rod 406 of the chassis body frame, and the centers of the two rigid thin rods 402 are cross-connected. The position where the centers of the two rigid thin rods 402 are connected is connected by a freely movable hinge 403.
[0050] The wheelbase telescopic mechanism includes a wheelbase adjustment motor 404, a wheelbase adjustment lead screw 405, a second transmission bevel gear 407, a transmission spur gear 408, a reduction spur gear 409, and a third transmission bevel gear 410. Two wheelbase adjustment lead screws 405 are provided and are respectively installed on the upper and lower parts of the chassis body frame; the front end of the wheelbase adjustment lead screw 405 is fixedly connected by hinge to the front fixed rod 401 of the chassis body frame, and the rear end is slidably connected to the rear fixed rod 406 of the chassis body frame through a fixed slider to prevent the wheelbase adjustment lead screw 405 from slipping, and the middle of the wheelbase adjustment lead screw 405 is threadedly connected to the first transmission bevel gear. The wheelbase adjustment motor 404 is installed on the free movable hinge 403 on one side, and a fourth transmission bevel gear is connected to the output shaft of the wheelbase adjustment motor 404, and this fourth transmission bevel gear meshes with the upward second transmission bevel gear 407 to change the direction of the torque transmitted by the wheelbase adjustment motor; the second transmission bevel gear 407 is connected to the cylindrical transmission spur gear 408 through a transmission shaft, and the transmission spur gear 408 meshes with the reduction spur gear 409 to realize the deceleration and torque increase of the gears, so that the wheelbase telescopic mechanism operates smoothly. The reduction spur gear 409 is connected to the third transmission bevel gear 410 through a transmission shaft, and the torque transmission direction is changed again, so that it is horizontally transmitted in the direction of the lead screw and horizontally transmitted to directly below the lead screw; the third transmission bevel gear 410 meshes with the first transmission bevel gear on the wheelbase adjustment lead screw 405, so that the power from the wheelbase adjustment motor 404 is accurately and smoothly transmitted to the wheelbase adjustment lead screw 405, enabling it to rotate left or right, completing the increase or decrease of the wheelbase of the experimental vehicle, and thus changing the wheelbase. Wheelbase adjustment lead screws 405 are installed at both the upper and lower ends of the chassis body frame 4, and the mechanisms at both ends move symmetrically and consistently, so only the movement mode of the upper wheelbase adjustment lead screw 405 is described. By controlling the elongation and shortening of the upper and lower wheelbase adjustment lead screws through the wheelbase adjustment motor, the wheelbase change of the experimental vehicle can be realized. The wheelbase adjustment motor 404 is installed at the central connection of two rigid thin rods 402. When the wheelbase expands and contracts, no matter what the angle formed by the two rigid thin rods is, the central position of the rigid thin rods, which is the installation position of the wheelbase adjustment motor, always remains unchanged, ensuring the stable working condition of the wheelbase adjustment motor. The torque transmission mechanism of the wheelbase adjustment motor is as Figure 6 shown. Due to the layout characteristics of the wheelbase telescopic mechanism, the impact on the internal structure of the intelligent by-wire chassis is small, and the structures such as the power supply and the transmission mechanism are less affected.
[0051] In a specific embodiment, the rotation mechanism 6 includes two small motors, a slider 602, a connecting rod 603, a bolt 604, a first rotation bevel gear 605, and a second rotation bevel gear 606. As Figure 7As shown in the figure, the output shaft of the pitching motor 601-1 on the left is connected to the slider 602 to control the pitching movement of the slider 602. One end of the slider 602 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 603, and the other end of the connecting rod 603 is connected to the fixing bolt 604. The bolt 604 is connected to the camera 105 at the top. Thus, when the camera 105 needs to perform a pitching movement, the pitching movement of the camera 105 can be achieved by the single rotation of the pitching motor 601 on the left. The output shaft of the rotating motor 601-2 on the right is coaxially connected to the first rotating bevel gear 605 to control the rotation of the first rotating bevel gear 605. The first rotating bevel gear 605 meshes with the second rotating bevel gear 606. The second rotating bevel gear 606 is coaxially connected to the bolt 604, and the bolt 604 is connected to the camera 105. When the camera 105 needs to rotate left and right, the single rotation of the rotating motor 601-2 on the right can achieve the left and right rotation of the camera 105 through the transmission of the bevel gears.
[0052] The horizontal lifting mechanism is installed at the lower end of the lidar or can also be installed at the lower end of the rotating mechanism. Its main function is to realize the horizontal lifting movement of sensors such as lidar. Its internal structure is a simple shear lifting mechanism. Different from general shear lifting mechanisms, since the load it bears is small and it is mainly used for the lifting of certain sensors, it realizes the reciprocating movement of the internal slider through a lead screw. A small motor is provided inside, and the lead screw is driven by the small motor to achieve the lifting function. Specifically, as Figure 8 shown, the horizontal lifting mechanism 7 includes an upper support plate 710, a lower support plate 711, a first lifting slide bar 709-1, a second lifting slide bar 709-2, a lifting motor 708, and a lifting lead screw 704. The middle parts of the first lifting slide bar 709-1 and the second lifting slide bar 709-2 are cross-connected by a freely movable hinge. As Figure 8(a), one end of the left side of the first lifting slide bar 709-1 and the second lifting slide bar 709-2 are respectively hinged to the upper support 710 plate and the lower support 711 plate through fixed hinges 703; an upper guide rail 701 is provided on the upper support 710 plate, an upper slider 702 is provided on the upper guide rail 701, and one end of the right side of the first lifting slide bar 709-1 is connected to the upper slider 702; a lower guide rail 707 and a first lifting bevel gear 705 are fixedly provided on the lower support plate 711, a lower slider 706 is provided on the lower guide rail 707, the lower slider 706 is connected to the lifting lead screw 704, and one end of the right side of the second lifting slide bar 709-2 is connected to the lower slider 706. The lifting lead screw 704 is threadedly connected to the first lifting bevel gear 705 thereon, and the first lifting bevel gear 705 meshes with the second lifting bevel gear on the lifting motor 708. The lifting lead screw 704 is driven by the lifting motor 708 to extend and contract, driving the lower slider 706 to reciprocate, thereby realizing the lifting movement of this mechanism.
[0053] As Figure 1 shown, at the bottom of the upper vehicle frame 1, that is, inside the vehicle, a vehicle deformation control platform 107 is installed. The vehicle deformation control platform 107 is used to control the overall deformation adjustment of the vehicle, and the bottom of the vehicle deformation control platform 107 is an intelligent wire-controlled chassis. The vehicle deformation control platform 107 can control the working states of the above-mentioned pneumatic telescopic rods and the above-mentioned motors, thereby controlling the deformation of the vehicle.
[0054] The present invention provides a deformation method. Generally, the present invention is manifested as a passenger car and can be deformed into a commercial vehicle according to the requirements of the user, such as Figure 3 shown.
[0055] When it is necessary to convert to a passenger car, adjust the upper vehicle frame so that: the vehicle front rotating rod 101 is horizontally arranged, the vehicle front side rotating rod 102 is arranged at an angle with the horizontal plane, the vehicle middle rotating rod 103 is horizontally arranged, the vehicle rear rotating rod 104 is arranged at an angle with the horizontal plane, and the vehicle middle rotating rod 103 is flush with the rear end of the vehicle front side rotating rod 102; control the wheelbase telescoping mechanism to adjust the chassis body frame 4 so that the axial length is the shortest;
[0056] When it is necessary to convert to a commercial vehicle, adjust the upper vehicle frame so that: the vehicle front rotating rod 101 is arranged at an angle with the horizontal plane, the vehicle front side rotating rod 102 is horizontally arranged, the vehicle middle rotating rod 103 is horizontally arranged, the vehicle rear rotating rod 104 is horizontally arranged, and the vehicle middle rotating rod 103 is flush with the vehicle rear rotating rod 104; control the wheelbase telescoping mechanism to adjust the axial length of the chassis body frame 4 to be the longest, and at the same time control the track telescoping mechanism to adjust the track of the chassis body frame 4 to be the widest.
[0057] Specifically, when a passenger car is converted into a commercial vehicle, the main process is that the front rotating rod 101 of the vehicle rotates counterclockwise by 45 degrees. There is also a rotation limiting mechanism installed on the front side rotating rod 102 of the vehicle. The front part of the front side rotating rod 102 of the vehicle remains unchanged while the rear part rotates clockwise by 45 degrees. The front side of the vehicle can be basically deformed into the head of a commercial vehicle. Correspondingly, the middle rotating rod 103 of the vehicle slides downward through the frame slide rod 110, and the rear rotating rod 104 of the vehicle rotates counterclockwise by 45 degrees. The rear part can be deformed and simulated as a cargo hold. At the same time, the wheelbase becomes longer, and it can be basically deformed into a commercial vehicle. The present invention can conveniently and quickly complete the change of the wheelbase of the chassis wheels by controlling the wheelbase adjustment motor and the air pump through the ECU.
[0058] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
