Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With technological advancements, many institutions have begun increasing their investment in flying car research. Some automakers and universities have already completed trial production and test flights of flying car prototypes. The widespread adoption of flying cars will meet people's increasing demand for convenient and efficient transportation, while also injecting new vitality into the low-altitude economy. Based on the principles and mechanisms of lift generation, flying cars can be broadly categorized as wing-type flying cars and rotor-type flying cars. Wing-type flying cars require large wings, require demanding takeoff conditions, and are unable to achieve low speeds or hover. Therefore, rotor-type flying cars are relatively the best solution for urban flying vehicles. However, rotor-type flying cars also face the challenges of large rotor footprint and poor integration of the flight mechanism with the vehicle.

[0003] Currently, my country's electric vehicle production and sales are climbing annually, and electric vehicles have achieved widespread adoption. However, the large number of electric vehicles also poses certain challenges to the country's power system and infrastructure. Solar energy, which is independent of power supply infrastructure, not only addresses the difficulty of charging electric vehicles, but also 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. In order to meet different carrying needs, people often need to purchase multiple cars.

[0005] Chinese invention patent CN102616096A discloses a folding-wing solar-powered flying car. It utilizes front and rear folding wings arranged in a tandem configuration. The front wings on either side of the vehicle body can be flipped and folded to stow parallel to the vehicle body or folded into the front compartment. The rear wings on either side of the vehicle body can be flipped and folded to stow above and behind the vehicle body. Large solar panels are mounted on the wings and body surfaces. While this technical solution allows for switching between aircraft and car form through folding wings, as a wing-type flying car, it lacks flexibility in urban environments. Furthermore, the folding wing design can alter passenger entry and exit points or encroach on the front compartment, affecting the aerodynamic shape of the vehicle.

[0006] Chinese invention patent CN117507701A discloses a telescopic, foldable flying system and a flying car. To switch from stowed to deployed mode, the telescopic column extends upward into the storage bucket, a telescopic electric cylinder drives the cantilever arm upward, and the propeller blades deploy under the action of a motor. While this technical solution integrates the vehicle's skylight to extend and deploy, eliminating the need for additional external equipment, it does encroach on passenger space within the cabin and poses the risk of propeller blade interference and insufficient lift. Furthermore, it fails to utilize solar power for power generation. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present invention provides a transformable solar-powered flying car, which aims to address at least one of the problems of existing flying cars, namely, the large space occupied by the rotors, the poor integration of the flying device with the vehicle body, the inconvenient power supply, and the single vehicle form.

[0048] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. 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 without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that 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 accompanying 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 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-powered flying car, comprising an aircraft module 1, a body module 2, a cabin module 3, and a chassis module 4. The aircraft module 1 is mounted on the body module 2, with the bottoms of the body module 2 and the cabin module 3 connected to the top of the chassis module 4. The cabin module 3 is located within the body module 2. The aircraft module 1, body module 2, cabin module 3, and chassis module 4 are structurally symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal and transverse midplanes of the solar-powered flying car. This front-to-back symmetry facilitates flexible switching of the vehicle's forward and backward directions.

[0052] The solar-powered flying car has a land mode and a flight mode, wherein the land mode includes a sedan form, a multi-purpose vehicle form, and a bus form. In addition, the solar-powered flying car has an automatic driving state and a manual driving state. The switching between the land mode and the flight mode can improve the flexibility and convenience of travel. The switching of the vehicle form under the land mode can meet different cabin space and passenger load requirements. The automatic driving capability can free the driver and make transportation behavior safer and more efficient.

[0053] It should be noted that, considering the impact of the car's shape and its symmetry on flight lift, the present invention recommends turning on the flight mode only in the sedan form, and does not recommend turning on the flight mode in the multi-purpose car form and bus form.

[0054] The aircraft module 1 includes a blade 101, a hub 102, a blade support rod 103, a blade motor 104 and a blade motor height adjustment mechanism 105. The base of the blade 101 is connected to the hub 102, the hub 102 is integrated with the main shaft of the blade motor 104, and the bottom of the blade motor 104 is connected to the top of the blade motor height adjustment mechanism 105; the outer end of the blade support rod 103 is embedded in the hole on the bottom surface of the blade 101, and the inner end is embedded in the groove of the outer shell of the blade motor 104. 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. When the micromotor rotates, the transmission belt can drive the inner end of the blade support rod 103 to move up and down along the groove of the outer shell of the blade motor 104.

[0055] The blade motor 104 and the blade motor height adjustment mechanism 105 of the aircraft module 1 serve as the pillars of the body module 2. Compared with other flying car designs, the volume occupied by the aircraft can be reduced as much as possible.

[0056] The body module 2 is provided with a receiving slot for accommodating the blade motor 104 and the blade motor height adjustment mechanism 105, as well as a blade groove for accommodating the blade 101. In land mode, the blade 101 of the aircraft module 1 is tightly attached to the corresponding blade groove of the body module 2, effectively reducing the wind resistance in land mode; when switching to flight mode, the blade motor 104 moves upward along the column groove opened on the side panel of the body module 2 under the push of the blade motor height adjustment mechanism 105 until the bottom of the blade motor 104 is flush with the upper end of the top plate 20104 of the body module 2. Under the action of the internal adjustment mechanism of the blade motor, the inner end of the blade support rod 103 moves upward along the groove on the outer shell of the blade motor 104 to the top, thereby driving the blade 101 to be flush with the horizontal plane. That is, the blade motor 104 can not only realize the rotation of the blade 101 around the vertical center of the hub 102, but also has an internal adjustment mechanism to prompt the inner end of the blade support rod 103 to move up and down.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, the blade motor height adjustment mechanism 105 is a telescopic mechanism, which drives the blade motor 104 to change its displacement in the vertical direction by telescoping.

[0058] The body module 2 includes a front panel 20101, a hood panel 20102, a windshield 20103, a roof panel 20104, a windshield inner panel 20105, an inner panel 20106, a bumper panel 20107, a side panel 20108, a door 20109, an inner panel patch 201010, a front panel built-in push rod 201011, a top panel built-in push rod 201012, a solar panel and an intelligent driving perception sensor. The hood panel 20102, the windshield 20103, the windshield inner panel 20105 and the inner panel 20106 are movable mechanisms, which provide a structural basis for switching the vehicle form of the present invention and adjusting the working area of ​​the solar panel. The top of the front panel 20101 is hinged to the hood panel 20102, the top of the windshield 20103 is hinged to the top panel 20104, the windshield inner panel 20105 is located on the inner side of the windshield 20103, and the hole at the bottom of the inner panel 20106 matches the output shaft of the inner panel angle adjustment motor 306, so that the output shaft of the inner panel angle adjustment motor 306 can be inserted into the hole at the bottom of the inner panel 20106.

[0059] In the sedan form, the hood 20102 of the body module 2 is perpendicular to the front panel 20101, and the internal angles of the windshield 20103 and the top panel 20104 are at a certain obtuse angle so that the windshield 20103 is in contact with the edge of the side panel 20108 and is in contact with the edge of the hood 20102. The outer edge surface of the windshield inner panel 20105 along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is in the same plane as the outer edge surface of the windshield 20103 along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and the inner panel 20106 is rotated toward the interior of the vehicle until the inner panel 20106 is perpendicular to the side panel 20108.

[0060] In the bus form, the hood panel 20102 of the body module 2 is in the same plane as the front panel 20101, the windshield 20103 is in the same plane as the top panel 20104, the outer end of the windshield inner panel 20105 is in contact with the inner end of the hood panel 20102, and the inner panel 20106 and the side panel 20108 are in the same plane.

[0061] In the multi-purpose vehicle form, the front or rear hood 20102, windshield 20103, inner windshield panel 20105, and inner side panels 20106 of the transformable solar-powered flying car are positioned as in the sedan form described above, while the other hood 20102, windshield 20103, inner windshield panel 20105, and inner side panels 20106 are positioned as in the bus form described above. In other words, in the present invention, a configuration in which both the front and rear portions are in the same position is referred to as a sedan or bus form, while a configuration in which both the front and rear portions are in different positions is referred to as a multi-purpose vehicle form.

[0062] In the vehicle body module 2, the inner panel patch 201010 is embedded in the corresponding slot on the inner side of the inner panel 20106. A patch driving motor is provided in the inner panel 20106. The output end of the patch driving motor can be extended and retracted, thereby realizing the outward movement or retraction of the inner panel patch 201010. When the inner panel 20106 is in the expanded state, the inner panel patch 201010 moves outward under the action of the patch driving motor, playing the role of sealing the interior space of the vehicle; the front panel built-in push rod 201011 is placed in the hole on the front panel 20101, and is moved up and down under the action of the motor set inside the front panel 20101, so as to push the engine cover 20102 and change the angle of the engine cover 20102; the top panel built-in push rod 201012 is placed in the hole on the top panel 20104, and the top panel built-in push rod 201012 is arranged opposite to the windshield 20103, and is moved forward and backward under the action of the motor set inside the top panel 20104, thereby pushing the windshield 20103 to change its angle.

[0063] The outer surface of the body module 2 is covered with solar panels, which include a front solar panel 20201, a hood solar panel 20202, a windshield solar panel 20203, a top solar panel 20204, a windshield inner solar panel 20205 and an inner solar panel 20206, which are respectively installed in the corresponding slots of the front panel 20101, the hood panel 20102, the windshield panel 20103, the top panel 20104, the windshield inner panel 20105 and the inner panel 20106. Using solar energy as one of the energy supplement methods can improve the environmental friendliness of the present invention and alleviate the problem of difficulty in charging existing electric vehicles.

[0064] It should be noted that in any of the three forms of the present invention, the front solar panel 20201, the hood solar panel 20202, the windshield solar panel 20203, and the top solar panel 20204 are all exposed, and only in the multi-purpose vehicle form and the bus form are the corresponding windshield inner solar panel 20205 and the inner solar panel 20206 exposed.

[0065] Intelligent driving perception sensors are installed on the outside of the body module 2, including a forward-looking camera module 20301, a forward-looking laser radar 20302, an ultrasonic radar 20303, and a side perception module 20304. The forward-looking camera module 20301 includes a forward-looking camera, a forward-looking wide-angle camera, and a forward-looking telephoto camera, and the side perception module 20304 includes a side-looking camera and a side-looking laser radar; the forward-looking camera module 20301 is installed on the upper part of the front panel 20101, the forward-looking laser radar 20302 and the ultrasonic radar 20303 are installed on the upper part of the bumper panel 20107, and the side perception module 20304 is installed below the blade groove of the side panel. The all-round multi-sensor system enables the present invention to have high-level autonomous driving capabilities in both land mode and flight mode.

[0066] The cockpit module 3 includes a seat 301, a seat adjustment mechanism assembly 302, a control console 303, a steering wheel 304, pedals 305, and an inner panel angle adjustment motor 306. In some embodiments of the present invention, there are four seats 301 in the cockpit module 3, each of which is equipped with a seat adjustment mechanism assembly 302. The seat adjustment mechanism assembly 302 includes a seat base 30101, a seat adjustment mechanism 30102, and a seat retaining track 30103. The upper end of the seat base 30101 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the seat 301. The seat base 30101 is connected to the output shaft of the seat adjustment mechanism 30102, and the groove at the lower end of the seat adjustment mechanism 30102 mates with the seat retaining track 30103. The seat adjustment mechanism 30102 is internally provided with a front and rear sliding motor and a vertical rotating motor. The output ends of the front and rear sliding motors are connected to the seat limiting track 30103 in the form of gears and racks, thereby enabling the seat 301 to move forward and backward along the seat limiting track 30103; the output shaft of the vertical rotating motor is the output shaft of the seat adjustment mechanism 30102. The rotation of the output shaft can drive the seat 301 to rotate 360° around the vertical center line of the seat adjustment mechanism 30102.

[0067] In the manual driving state, the driver's seat is the seat 301 closest to the front driving mechanism based on the current forward direction of the present invention. After the forward direction is switched, the driver's seat is switched accordingly.

[0068] When the present invention is in manual driving state, except for the driver's seat which can only face the forward direction, other seats can rotate freely around the vertical center line of the seat adjustment mechanism 30102 at any time.

[0069] The cockpit module 3 includes two sets of steering wheels 304, pedals 305, and a control console 303, mounted at the front and rear ends of the vehicle's cabin, respectively. When the vehicle is in manual driving mode, the front steering wheel 304 and pedals 305, based on the vehicle's forward direction, can be operated manually, while the rear steering wheel 304 and pedals 305 cannot be operated manually. The rear steering wheel 304 fits into the steering wheel groove in the control console 303. When the vehicle is in automatic driving mode, the lower ends of the front and rear steering wheels 304 fit into the corresponding steering wheel grooves in the control console 303.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, a large screen is mounted on the inner end of the inner panel 20106. This large screen displays the surrounding environment in real time via a camera mounted on the surface of the vehicle body module 2, providing environmental information for manual driving. Therefore, when the inner panel 20106 and the side panel 20108 in front of the driver's seat are flush with each other, the present invention cannot enter manual driving mode. In other words, manual driving mode is only possible when the present invention is in sedan or multi-purpose vehicle configuration.
