[0057] Figure 1 A flowchart of a docking method of a split flying car according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, the split flying car comprising an intelligent chassis and a flying module, the intelligent chassis comprising a docking platform unit, the method being applied to the intelligent chassis, as shown, comprising: Figure 1 As shown, it comprises:

[0058] S101, in response to the docking request instruction sent by the flying module, sending the coordinate information corresponding to the current position of the intelligent chassis to the flying module, so that the flying module moves to the target docking position based on the coordinate information, the target docking position being a position at a preset distance above the vertical direction of the current position;

[0059] The split flying car comprises a flying module and an intelligent chassis. When the flying module and the intelligent chassis are in a split state, the intelligent chassis communicates with the flying module in real time through radio. When the flying module has a landing requirement, a docking request instruction is sent to the intelligent chassis. After the intelligent chassis receives the docking request instruction, the coordinate information corresponding to the current position is sent to the flying module. After the flying module receives the coordinate information, the flying module moves to the target docking position at a preset distance above the current position of the intelligent chassis based on the coordinate information, in order to prepare for docking with the intelligent chassis.

[0060] S102, determining a target inclination angle between the docking platform unit and the horizontal plane;

[0061] The intelligent chassis comprises a basic chassis unit, a docking platform unit and a horizontal adjustment unit, the docking platform unit and the basic chassis unit are connected through the horizontal adjustment unit, the docking platform unit is used for detachable connection with the flight module, that is, the flight module lands and is fixed on the docking platform unit. The inclination angle of the docking platform unit affects the inclination of the flight module during docking. Therefore, the inclination angle between the docking platform and the horizontal plane is determined, that is, the target inclination angle is determined.

[0062] In S103, if the target inclination angle does not satisfy the preset inclination condition, the angle between the docking platform unit and the horizontal plane is adjusted, so that the angle between the docking platform unit and the horizontal plane is less than or equal to the preset angle threshold.

[0063] The preset inclination condition can be that the target inclination angle is less than or equal to the preset angle threshold, and the preset angle threshold can be determined according to actual conditions, such as the weight of the flight module. If the target inclination angle is greater than the preset angle threshold, the docking platform unit has a large inclination angle at this time, and when the flight module docks with the docking platform, the flight module needs to be inclined at an angle corresponding to the docking platform unit to realize the mechanical docking task. When the flight module is inclined at a large angle, side overturning is likely to occur during docking. Therefore, the angle between the docking platform unit and the horizontal plane is adjusted by the horizontal adjustment unit, so that the angle between the docking platform unit and the horizontal plane is less than or equal to the preset angle threshold, and the inclination angle of the docking platform unit relative to the horizontal plane is ensured to be within a safe range.

[0064] In S104, when the angle between the docking platform unit and the horizontal plane is less than or equal to the preset angle threshold and the flight module reaches the target docking position, the docking platform unit and the flight module are controlled to dock based on real-time flight angle information of the flight module.

[0065] When the angle between the docking platform unit and the horizontal plane satisfies the preset inclination condition, the intelligent chassis sends a docking instruction to the flight module. After the flight module receives the docking confirmation instruction, if it reaches the target docking position, it sends a docking confirmation instruction to the intelligent chassis. The flight module sends real-time flight angle information to the intelligent chassis, and the intelligent chassis controls the docking platform unit and the flight module to mechanically dock based on the real-time flight angle information of the flight module, so as to realize the transition from the split state to the combined state.

[0066] The technical scheme has the advantages that when the docking platform unit of the intelligent chassis does not meet the preset inclination condition at the current position, the docking platform unit is adjusted so that the angle between the docking platform unit and the horizontal plane meets the docking requirement, the docking requirement of the flying car in various terrains is met, and the problem of rollover accidents caused by uneven docking points when the split flying car docks is solved. Meanwhile, the position information is sent to the flight module in advance, so that the docking platform unit is adjusted when the flight module moves to the target docking position, and the docking efficiency of the intelligent chassis and the flight module is improved.

[0067] Referring to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the docking platform unit comprises a horizontal measurement device, and determining the target inclination angle between the docking platform unit and the horizontal plane comprises:

[0068] S1021, obtaining chassis angle information of the docking platform unit through the horizontal measurement device, the chassis angle information comprising a chassis pitch angle information and a chassis roll angle information;

[0069] S1022, determining the target inclination angle based on the chassis pitch angle information and the chassis roll angle information.

[0070] The horizontal measurement device is arranged on the docking platform unit, and is used to obtain the pitch angle and the roll angle of the docking platform unit. The roll angle value and the pitch angle value are used to calculate the target inclination angle through a trigonometric function.

[0071] The horizontal measurement device comprises an electronic horizontal measurement device or an inertial measurement unit (IMU).

[0072] In other embodiments, the intelligent chassis can determine the target inclination angle of the docking platform unit at the current position according to a preset angle measurement device on the docking platform unit. For example, the preset angle measurement device can be an inclination sensor.

[0073] The technical scheme has the advantages that the target inclination angle of the docking platform unit can be quickly and accurately determined through the roll angle and the pitch angle, and the docking efficiency of the intelligent chassis and the flight module is improved.

[0074] Referring to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the intelligent chassis comprises a basic chassis unit and a horizontal adjustment unit, the horizontal adjustment unit comprising at least two support rods and a support rod adjustment device, the at least two support rods being used to connect the basic chassis unit and the docking platform unit, and adjusting the angle between the docking platform unit and the horizontal plane comprising:

[0075] S1031, determining a pitch angle difference information between the chassis pitch angle information and a preset pitch angle threshold information;

[0076] S1032, determine a roll angle difference value information between the chassis roll angle information and the preset roll angle threshold information, the preset angle threshold is determined based on the preset pitch angle threshold information and the preset roll angle threshold information;

[0077] S1033, calculate a target stroke corresponding to each support rod and a target speed corresponding to each support rod based on the pitch angle difference value information, the roll angle difference value information and a target time, the target time being a time before the flight module reaches the target docking position;

[0078] S1034, control the support rod adjusting device to adjust the at least two support rods based on the target stroke corresponding to each support rod and the target speed corresponding to each support rod.

[0079] The support rod adjusting device is used to adjust the at least two support rods. The base chassis unit is used to communicate with the flight module in real time, control the intelligent chassis to drive on the ground, and control the intelligent chassis and the flight module to dock. The execution unit of the intelligent chassis can be the base chassis unit. The intelligent chassis unit and the docking platform unit are fixedly connected through the horizontal adjusting unit.

[0080] The chassis pitch angle information includes a chassis pitch angle value, the preset pitch angle threshold information includes a preset pitch angle threshold, the chassis roll angle information includes a chassis roll angle value, the preset roll angle threshold information includes a preset roll angle threshold, and the preset angle threshold is calculated from the preset pitch angle threshold and the preset roll angle threshold.

[0081] The chassis pitch angle is processed by difference with the preset pitch angle threshold to obtain a pitch angle difference value, and the chassis roll angle is processed by difference with the preset roll angle threshold to obtain a roll angle difference value. The stroke information of each support rod is obtained. The target stroke corresponding to each support rod and the target speed are calculated based on the pitch angle difference value, the roll angle difference value, the stroke information of each support rod, and a target time. The intelligent chassis controls the support rod adjusting device to adjust the at least two support rods based on the target stroke corresponding to each support rod and the target speed.

[0082] In some embodiments, the support rod is a hydraulic support rod, and the support rod adjusting device is a hydraulic electric control. As shown in Figure 4 The split flying car includes a flight module and an intelligent chassis. The intelligent chassis includes a docking platform unit, a horizontal adjusting unit and a base chassis module. The base chassis module is composed of power, transmission, chassis intelligent driving system, communication equipment and other components. The horizontal adjusting unit includes at least two hydraulic support rods and a hydraulic electric control. The docking platform unit includes a horizontal measuring device and a locking mechanism. The docking platform unit also includes a landing platform and communication equipment and other components. The docking platform unit is detachably connected with the flight module through the locking mechanism. The base chassis module is fixedly connected with the docking platform unit through the horizontal adjusting unit.

[0083] The technical scheme above calculates the target stroke of each support rod through the angle difference, accurately and quickly adjusts the at least support rod, makes the angle between the docking platform unit and the horizontal plane meet the preset inclination condition at one time, and improves the docking efficiency of the intelligent chassis and the flight module.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, after adjusting the at least two support rods, the method further comprises:

[0085] S1035, if the angle between the docking platform unit and the horizontal plane is greater than the preset angle threshold value within the preset time, the steps of determining the pitch angle difference information between the chassis pitch angle information and the preset pitch angle threshold information and adjusting the at least two support rods based on the target stroke corresponding to each support rod and the target speed corresponding to each support rod are repeatedly executed until the angle between the docking platform unit and the horizontal plane is less than or equal to the preset angle threshold value, or the adjustment time exceeds the preset time.

[0086] If the angle between the docking platform unit and the horizontal plane is greater than the preset angle threshold value again after the support rod is adjusted within the preset time, the support rod adjustment step is repeatedly executed until the angle between the docking platform unit and the horizontal plane is less than or equal to the preset angle threshold value, or the adjustment time exceeds the preset time. The adjustment time is the time for adjusting the support rod.

[0087] The technical scheme above can be adjusted multiple times within a preset time if the one-time adjustment of the support rod is unsuccessful, so as to ensure that the angle between the docking platform unit and the horizontal plane meets the preset inclination condition and ensure the safe docking of the flight module and the intelligent chassis.

[0088] Please refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the docking of the docking platform unit and the flight module based on the real-time flight angle information of the flight module comprises:

[0089] S1041, real-time flight angle information of the flight module is acquired in real time, and the real-time flight angle information comprises flight pitch angle information and flight roll angle information;

[0090] S1042, real-time flight inclination angle of the flight module is determined based on the flight pitch angle information and the flight roll angle information;

[0091] S1043, if the real-time flight inclination angle meets the preset inclination condition, the docking platform unit is adjusted based on the real-time flight inclination angle, so that the docking platform unit and the flight module reach a parallel state.

[0092] In some embodiments, during the mechanical docking process between the flight module and the intelligent chassis, the flight module sends real-time flight angle information to the flight module in real time, the intelligent chassis receives the real-time flight angle information sent by the flight module, the flight pitch angle information includes a flight pitch angle value, the flight roll angle information includes a flight roll angle value, and the real-time flight inclination angle of the flight module is determined according to the flight pitch angle value and the flight roll angle value.

[0093] If the real-time flight inclination angle is less than or equal to a preset angle threshold, that is, the inclination angle of the flight module is not large, the intelligent chassis adjusts the docking platform unit through at least two supporting rods according to the real-time flight inclination angle of the flight module, so that the docking platform unit and the flight module reach a parallel state, so as to facilitate the completion of the mechanical docking process.

[0094] The above technical solution adjusts the inclination of the docking platform unit when the inclination angle of the flight module is small, so as to reach a parallel state with the flight module, and ensures the smooth completion of the mechanical docking process.

[0095] Please refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0096] S201, after the docking of the docking platform unit and the flight module is completed, the horizontal adjustment unit is controlled to return to the initial state, so that the base chassis unit and the docking platform unit are in a parallel state.

[0097] After the flight module and the docking platform unit complete docking, the intelligent chassis controls the at least two supporting rods of the horizontal adjustment unit to return to the initial state, so that the docking platform unit returns to the initial state and is in a parallel state with the base chassis unit.

[0098] The above technical solution restores the docking platform unit to the initial state through the horizontal adjustment unit after docking is completed, so that the docking platform unit and the base chassis unit are balanced, and the stability of the flying car is ensured.

[0099] Please refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0100] S301, if the angle between the docking platform unit and the horizontal plane is greater than a preset angle threshold within a preset time, send a docking position invalid instruction to the flight module, so that the flight module determines a new docking position and sends a docking instruction, the docking instruction includes target coordinate information of the new docking position;

[0101] S302, move to the new docking position based on the target coordinate information.

[0102] If the angle between the docking platform unit and the horizontal plane is still greater than the preset angle threshold after multiple adjustments of the docking platform unit within the preset time, in order to improve the docking efficiency, a docking position invalid instruction is sent to the flight module, and after the flight module receives the docking position invalid instruction, a new docking position near the current position of the intelligent chassis is determined, and the target coordinate information of the new docking position is packaged in the docking instruction and sent to the intelligent chassis. After the intelligent chassis moves to the new docking position according to the target coordinate information, the steps of determining the target inclination angle between the docking platform unit and the horizontal plane based on the real-time flight angle information of the flight module to control the docking platform unit and the flight module to dock are repeatedly executed until the docking is completed.

[0103] The above technical solution, if the current position of the intelligent chassis cannot level the docking platform unit within the preset time through the horizontal adjustment unit, in order to improve the docking efficiency, the docking position is re-determined through the flight module, and the docking between the intelligent chassis and the flight module can be quickly and safely performed.
