Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of transportation vehicles, and in particular to a solar-powered flying car with a transformable form. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of technology, many institutions have begun to increase their investment in flying car research, and some car companies and universities have achieved trial production and test flights of flying car prototypes. The implementation and promotion of flying cars can meet people's further needs for convenience and efficiency of travel, and at the same time inject new vitality into the low-altitude economy. According to the different lift generation principles and mechanisms, flying cars can be roughly divided into wing-type flying cars and rotor-type flying cars. The wings of wing-type flying cars occupy a large space, the take-off conditions are harsh, and they cannot achieve low speed and hovering. Therefore, relatively speaking, rotor-type flying cars are the best solution for urban flying cars. However, rotor-type flying cars also face the problem of large rotor space occupation and low integration between the flying device and the car body.

[0003] At present, the production and sales of electric vehicles in my country are rising year by year, and electric vehicles have been fully popularized. However, a large number of electric vehicles also bring certain challenges to the country's power system and infrastructure. Solar energy does not rely on power supply facilities. While solving the problem of difficulty in charging electric vehicles, it further reduces energy consumption and improves the environmental friendliness of travel.

[0004] In addition, existing cars have a single shape and a fixed size of interior space, so people often need to purchase multiple cars to meet different carrying needs.

[0005] Chinese invention patent CN102616096A discloses a folding wing solar flying car, which adopts front and rear folding wings in a serial layout. The front wings on both sides of the front of the car body can be flipped and folded and stored in parallel on both sides of the car body or folded up and down in the front compartment. The rear wings on both sides of the rear of the car body can be flipped and folded and stored at the top and rear of the car body. Large-area solar panels are installed on the wings and the surface of the car body. Although this technical solution can realize the switching between the aircraft and car forms by folding the wings, it lacks certain flexibility in urban environments as a wing-type flying car. At the same time, its wing folding solution may change the exit for passengers to get on and off the car, or occupy the space of the front compartment, affecting the aerodynamic shape of the car form.

[0006] China's invention patent CN117507701A discloses a telescopic folding and storage flying system and a flying car. When switching from the storage mode to the deployment mode, the telescopic column extends upward from the storage barrel, the telescopic electric cylinder drives the cantilever to flip upward, and the propeller blades are deployed under the action of the motor. Although the flying system of this technical solution is extended and deployed in conjunction with the skylight on the top of the car, without adding additional devices outside the car body, it will occupy the passenger space in the cabin, and there is the possibility of propeller blade interference and insufficient flight drive lift, and it does not use solar energy to obtain power.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the descriptions involving orientations, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, inside, outside, etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0050] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection or a movable connection, a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection, or an integral connection: it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements, indirect connection, or the interaction relationship between two elements.

[0051] See also Figure 1-9The present invention provides a transformable solar flying car, comprising an aircraft module 1, a body module 2, a cockpit module 3 and a chassis module 4. The aircraft module 1 is arranged on the body module 2, the bottom of the body module 2 and the bottom of the cockpit module 3 are connected to the top of the chassis module 4, and the cockpit module 3 is located inside the body module 2. The aircraft module 1, the body module 2, the cockpit module 3 and the chassis module 4 are symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal middle plane and the transverse middle plane of the solar flying car as the reference structure, and the front-rear symmetry of the present invention facilitates the flexible switching of the forward direction.

[0052] The solar flying car has a land mode and a flight mode, wherein the land mode includes a sedan mode, a multi-purpose vehicle mode and a bus mode.

The inner end of the blade support rod 103 is driven by the internal adjustment mechanism of the blade motor to move up and down along the groove of the outer shell of the blade motor 104, thereby driving the angle change of the blade 101 around the hinge between the blade 101 and the hub 102. The internal adjustment mechanism of the blade motor is arranged inside the blade motor 104, including a micromotor and a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is provided with a limiting structure to limit the inner end of the blade support rod 103 to a fixed position on the outer surface of the conveyor belt.
