Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electric propulsion systems for flying cars, and particularly relates to an amphibious propeller tire. Background Art
[0002] Flying cars and amphibious vehicles are the core carriers of the next-generation transportation system and are gradually moving from proof-of-concept to commercial application. The core challenge lies in how to efficiently integrate the dual functions of air flight and ground travel. Currently, the mainstream solution relies on two independent power systems: in flight mode, ducted fans or high-speed propellers generate lift and propulsion through aerodynamic effects; in ground mode, traditional hub motors or mechanical transmission devices drive the tires to interact with the ground. However, this discrete architecture results in redundant power units, greatly reducing the flight range and ground mobility. The propeller speed of a flying car is generally between 2000 - 5000 rpm, while the speed of the tire under normal road conditions is usually less than 300 rpm. There is a significant difference in the order of magnitude between the two speeds, and direct coupling will cause problems such as a sharp drop in transmission efficiency, increased mechanical wear, and even system failure.
[0003] Chinese invention patent CN118596821A provides a vehicle propulsion device that realizes amphibious water drive by separately driving the tire and the propeller through a radial motor with two rotors, achieving the integration of amphibious water drive. Since the speed of the underwater propeller is the same as that of the wheel, this patent solution cannot be directly used for the combination of amphibious air and ground drive. At the same time, since the axis of the annular air gap surface of the radial motor is perpendicular to the road surface, the bumps on the road surface during land travel may cause the stator and rotor to rub or the rotor to be eccentric, resulting in unstable motor performance and damage to the motor structure.
[0004] Chinese invention patent CN112078299A provides a rotatable self-rotating - revolving multi-amphibious application gear train that realizes the engagement between the impeller and the hub through the retraction and extension of the impeller. The engagement of the impeller will cause the impeller to be subjected to large forces. For large-diameter rotors / propellers, this installation method will cause damage to the rotors / propellers; this design method will cause the wheel not to be self-locked when the propeller rotates and will rotate freely. The set wheel disc structure will directly block the air gap between the propeller and the wheel at the circumferential position, which will greatly affect the aerodynamic characteristics.
[0005] The Chinese utility model patent CN219115146U provides a wheel for an amphibious crane and an amphibious wheeled crane. This device protects the spokes by providing an openable and closable enclosed structure on the outside or both sides of the spokes. When driving underwater, this enclosed structure is in an open state. However, this enclosed structure uses a fan-shaped opening and closing structure similar to a folding fan. Since there is still a large area of occlusion after folding, it will affect the aerodynamic performance of the propeller. Therefore, it cannot be directly used as a propeller protection device for a flying car. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Among them, the first clutch (5) includes: a first clutch friction plate group (51), a first clutch steel plate group (52), and a first clutch housing (53); the first clutch housing (53) is coaxially and fixedly connected to the output shaft (10); the output shaft (10) is also coaxially and fixedly connected to the wheel spoke (13) of the wheel (1);
[0014] Among them, both the first clutch (5) and the second clutch (7) are multi-disc clutches; as Figures 2-3As shown, the housing of the rotor (6) and the second clutch (7) is an integral structure. The blades of the rotor (6) are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the housing of the second clutch (7). This integral structure is coaxially and fixedly connected to the hollow output shaft (8) of the motor;
[0015] The planetary gear reducer (4) includes: an outer gear ring (42), planetary gears (43), a sun gear (44), and a planet carrier (45), as Figure 4 shown; the shaft of the planet carrier (45) is a hollow shaft and is coaxially and fixedly connected to the rotor of the motor (2). The first clutch (5) is coaxially and fixedly connected to the outer gear ring (42). Grooves corresponding to the first clutch steel sheet group (52) are provided on the outer circle of the outer gear ring (42), which can perform circumferential limiting on the first clutch steel sheet group (52); the sun gear (44) is a hollow cylindrical structure and is coaxially and fixedly connected to the suspension connecting shaft (9) through splines as a non-rotating component.
[0016] Among them, under the land driving condition, the first clutch (5) is in the engaged state, and the second clutch (7) is in the disengaged state; when the motor (2) is powered on, the rotor drives the shaft of the planet carrier (45) to rotate. The sun gear (44) remains stationary, and the outer gear ring (42) rotates, driving the first clutch steel sheet group (52). At this time, the first clutch (5) is engaged, and the first clutch steel sheet group (52) transmits power to the first clutch friction plate group (51), driving the first clutch housing (53) to rotate. The first clutch housing (53) drives the coaxially connected output shaft (10) to rotate. Thus, the motor (2) transmits power to the output shaft (10), and then the output shaft (10) transmits the power to the wheel spokes (13), thereby driving the wheels (1) to rotate; at this time, the second clutch (7) is in the disengaged state, and its second clutch friction plate group (71) is separated from the second clutch steel sheet group (72), and no power is transmitted, and the rotor (6) does not rotate, as Figure 3 shown;

The rotor (6) rotates while the wheels (1) do not rotate, preventing the large moment of inertia brought by the rotation of the wheels (1). And the non-rotation of the wheels (1) can also cooperate with the rotor (6) as a duct to provide additional lift for the propulsion system.
[0018] Among them, the wheel (1) includes a tire (11), a wheel hub (12), and wheel spokes (13); the wheel (1) is used as a wheel when driving on land and as a duct to increase additional thrust for the propulsion device when flying in the air.

[0025] The first foldable cover (312) is an overall ring, and both ends are fixed on the first telescopic rod (311); the extension or shortening of the first telescopic rod (311) drives the first foldable cover (312) to unfold or contract to complete the opening and closing of the first protection device (31); at the same time, holes and annular grooves are provided on the inner side of the hub (12) of the wheel (1) and the first protection device (31) at the same axial position. When the first protection device (31) is opened, it is used to fix the first telescopic rod (311) and the first foldable cover (312).
[0026] Among them, under the land driving condition, the first telescopic rod (311) extends, the first foldable cover (312) unfolds, the first protection device (31) is in an open state, and the first telescopic rod (311) and the first foldable cover (312) are respectively inserted into the holes and annular grooves reserved on the hub (12) to prevent sand and stones from entering the inside of the wheel and damaging the rotor (6), such as Figures 6-7 shown;

[0032] (III) Beneficial effects
[0033] To improve the integration degree of the power system of the flying car, realize the shared integrated design of the propulsion device and the drive device, and solve the problems existing in the existing shared integrated design. The present invention proposes a land-air dual-purpose propeller tire, which completes the switching between the land and air modes through the cooperation of a clutch, a planetary gear reducer and a conventional motor. At the same time, through the combination of a hollow rotating shaft and a central stator shaft, the connection and installation of the rotor / propeller and the two rotating components on both sides of the vehicle axis with the vehicle suspension are realized. At the same time, a rotor / propeller protection device is designed to prevent foreign objects such as dust and stones from wearing the rotor / propeller or even entering the motor during land driving, improving the integration degree and safety of the power device.
[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0035] (1) The present invention controls the disconnection of the rotor / propeller and the wheel by installing clutches on both sides of the motor. When flying in the air, the clutch between the motor and the propeller is closed, and the clutch between the motor and the reducer is disconnected. The motor directly drives the rotor / propeller to rotate at a high speed to provide lift / thrust. The tires do not rotate and act as ducts, providing additional lift / thrust. When driving on land, the clutch between the motor and the rotor / propeller is disconnected, and the clutch between the motor and the reducer is closed. The motor drives the wheels to rotate at a low speed through the planetary gear reducer to provide forward driving force. The rotor / propeller does not rotate, thus avoiding the generation of undesired thrust in the axial direction of the tires when driving on land.
[0036] (2) The present invention designs the clutch between the motor and the rotor / propeller at the center of the rotor / propeller. The rotor / propeller blades are directly installed on the clutch housing, with high integration and reduced axial space of the system.
[0037] (3) The present invention can directly match and use conventional radial flux motors and axial flux motors on the market, with low requirements for the type and structural form of the motor. The purpose of the present invention can be achieved with corresponding installation structures. Therefore, the present invention has wide versatility and is easy to implement.
[0038] (4) The present invention directly drives the rotor / propeller by the motor, with a high speed and a light weight of the motor, which is suitable for the lightweight requirements of flying vehicles.
[0039] (5) The present invention is provided with retractable protection devices on both sides of the rotor / propeller. When the device contracts, its diameter is not greater than the diameter of the motor, and when it extends, the outer end can extend to the wheel hub. Under the driving condition on land, the retractable protection device is opened to prevent sand and gravel from entering the inside of the wheel and damaging the rotor / propeller, ensuring safety; at the same time, under the flying condition in the air, the retractable protection device retracts towards the axis center, minimizing the impact on the aerodynamic characteristics of the rotor / propeller.
