[0037] Further, the ground pure electric driving mode is specifically that VCU receives the working state information of the A / B system, vehicle speed, motor current feedback signal, accelerator pedal signal, brake pedal signal, mode switching signal, and flight control lever signal, determines that the flying car is on the ground, does not need to take off, and does not need to brake; at this time, M A , M B is in a disabled state, the wheel driving motors M a1 and M a2 , M b1 and M b2 , M b3 and M b4 have three states, which are: the motor M a1 , M a2 is enabled, the motor M a1 , M a2 , Mb1 , M b2 enable, motor M a1 , M a2 , M b1 , M b2 , M b3 , M b4 enable, and the three states correspond to the flying car ground pure electric two-wheel drive, flying car ground pure electric four-wheel drive, flying car ground pure electric six-wheel drive, respectively;

[0040] Further, the regenerative braking mode is: the VCU receives the brake pedal signal and detects the SOC value of the battery, if SOC is less than SOCH VCU sends the regenerative braking instruction to the currently running drive motor controller, and drives the currently running drive motor to generate electricity, converting kinetic energy recovery into electrical energy storage in the battery; if SOC≥SOC H , it is determined that the battery is in a power surplus state, and no braking energy recovery is performed.

[0041] Further, the normal braking mode is that: VCU receives the brake pedal signal, and detects the SOC value of the battery, if SOC>SOC H , the clutches C1, C2 of the electromagnetic double clutches A and B are released, and pure mechanical braking is adopted; if SOC<SOC H , but the required braking force is greater than the regenerative braking force, the braking force other than the regenerative braking force is realized by mechanical braking.

[0042] Further, the take-off mode with speed is that:

[0043] VCU receives the flight control lever signal of the flying car, the working state information of the A / B system, and the motor current feedback signal, judges the ground driving mode of the current vehicle, and changes the driving mode to the B system takeover driving;

[0044] After takeover driving, the battery supplies power to the lifting / turning motor, VCU transmits the lifting demand signal, the lifting / turning motor controller controls the lifting / turning motor to drive the lifting mechanism mechanical device, when the rotor wheel system reaches the maximum lifting height, the lifting / turning motor temporarily stops working, and the flying car is lifted from the ground driving state to the land-air switching state 1;

[0045] At the same time when the A system is lifted upward, the regenerative braking of the motors M a1 , M a2 stops the rotation of the rotor wheel system of the A system, and locks the wheels;

[0046] After the lifting of the A system is completed, the locker B1 in the lifting mechanism mechanical device is locked, the lifting / turning motor works again, rotates by a certain angle, realizes the turning of the A system, and the flying car turns from the land-air switching state 1 to the land-air switching state 2;

[0048] wherein M a1 a2 respectively represent the driving motors A of the two A systems, M b1 b2 b3 b4 respectively represent the driving motors B of the four B systems.

[0049] Further:

[0050] The air pure electric flight mode is: the VCU receives the working state information of the A / B system, vehicle speed, motor current feedback signal, mode switching signal, flight control lever signal, and battery remaining capacity SOC, judges that the flying car is in the air, the driving mechanism is running normally, and detects that the current battery SOC>SOC H A B are in the disabled state, the C1 of the electromagnetic double clutch in the rotor wheel is released, the C2 is combined, the battery powers the motor M a1 a2 b1 b2 b3 b4 ; the power of the motor M a1 a2 b1 b2 b3 b4 is transmitted to the rotor through the C2 end of the electromagnetic double clutch A and the electromagnetic double clutch B, the rotor rotates, and drives the flying car to fly smoothly;

[0051] The air hybrid flight mode is: the VCU receives the working state information of the A / B system, vehicle speed, motor current feedback signal, mode switching signal, flight control lever signal, and battery remaining capacity SOC, judges that the flying car is in the air, the driving mechanism is running normally, and detects that the current battery SOC<SOC H A B ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​In the disabled state, the electromagnetic double clutch C1 is released, C2 is combined, the battery supplies power to the motor M a1 a2 b1 b2 b3 b4 The power supply is provided while the range extender is started; the motor M a1 a2 b1 b2 b3 b4 The power of the motor is transmitted to the rotor through the C2 end of the electromagnetic double clutch A and the electromagnetic double clutch B, the rotor rotates, and drives the flying car to fly smoothly;

[0053] Further, the air A system failure mode is that the VCU receives the failure signal of the A system, and according to the received current vehicle information, calculates the required torque of each motor for maintaining the current flight state by using the B system alone to drive, and transmits the torque request to the corresponding motor controller to control the motor to drive the rotor B of the B system; at the same time, the rotor A of the A system stops rotating by using the conventional brake; b1 b2 b3 b4 The corresponding motor controller controls the motor to drive the rotor B of the B system; at the same time, the rotor A of the A system stops rotating by using the conventional brake;

[0054] The air B system failure mode is that the VCU receives the failure signal of the B system, and according to the received current vehicle information, calculates the required torque of each motor for maintaining the current flight state by using the A system alone to drive, and transmits the torque request to the corresponding motor controller to control the motor to drive the rotor A of the A system; at the same time, the rotor B of the B system stops rotating by using the conventional brake; a1 a2 The corresponding motor controller controls the motor to drive the rotor A of the A system; at the same time, the rotor B of the B system stops rotating by using the conventional brake;

[0056] Furthermore, the belt-speed descent mode is as follows:

[0057] The VCU receives the landing signal from the flying car and adjusts the flight altitude to low and the flight speed to low.

[0058] Based on the current vehicle information, the VCU calculates the required speed of each motor for system A to maintain the current flight state when driven independently, and transmits the speed request to M. a1 M a2 The corresponding motor controller controls the motor to drive rotor A; simultaneously, rotor B of system B utilizes motor M. b1 M b2 M b3 M b4 The regenerative braking stops rotating; after rotor B stops rotating, C1 of the electromagnetic dual clutch B engages and C2 releases, the battery powers the lift / tilt motor, and the motor drives the flying car to flip from the air flight state to the land-air switching state 2, and the flight altitude continues to decrease.

[0059] Before the flying car lands, the VCU calculates the component of the flying car's air speed along the forward direction of the vehicle's ground travel, as well as the corresponding torque, based on the received vehicle information, and transmits the torque requirements of each motor to motor M. b1 M b2 M b3 M b4 Controller, controls motor M b1 M b2 M b3 M b4 Drive the corresponding wheels to reach the required speed before the vehicle lands, thus achieving a smooth landing;

[0060] After a smooth landing, rotor A of system A utilizes motor M a1 M a2 The regenerative braking stops the rotation; after rotor A stops rotating, C1 of electromagnetic dual clutch A engages and C2 releases, the battery powers the lift / tilt motor, and the motor drives the flying car to flip from land-to-air switching state 2 to land-to-air switching state 1.

[0061] After the flip is completed, the VCU transmits the lifting demand signal, and the lifting / flipping motor controller controls the lifting / flipping motor to drive the lifting mechanism mechanical device. When the second planetary gear of the lifting mechanism returns to the initial position, the lifting / flipping motor stops working.

[0062] As system A descends, the VCU calculates the wheel torque requirement for system A's wheels to touch down based on vehicle information and transmits it to motor M. a1 M a2 Controller, controls motor Ma1 , M a2 Drive the corresponding wheels to reach the required vehicle speed before the wheels touch the ground, complete the speed switching of the flying vehicle from the air-ground switching state 1 to the ground driving state.

[0063] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0064] (1) The present application can realize the speed switching between the ground driving state and the air flying state of the flying vehicle through two separate systems A and B, and can complete the switching without ground parking or air hovering, can ensure the normal driving of the flying vehicle on the ground, and has good working condition adaptability and can cope with various complex working conditions; due to the design of two separate systems A and B, corresponding strategies are made for possible emergency situations in the air, greatly improving the overall operation efficiency and safety of the flying vehicle, and the multi-mode land-air hybrid vehicle has certain fault tolerance ability.
