The whole vehicle needs to be maintained, and the vehicle cannot be used at all during the maintenance period.

[0003] When existing flying cars are flying, the land walking module and the flying device of the flying car are integrated. When walking on land, the land walking module is started, and when flying, the flying device is started. However, both the land walking module and the flying device are installed on the car, which will cause the weight of the car to increase, increase the fuel consumption of land walking, and the whole vehicle needs to be maintained, and the vehicle cannot be used at all during the maintenance period.

[0004] For example, the Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN117021859A discloses an amphibious car. The flying device and the vehicle are designed as an integral body, resulting in a large weight of the whole vehicle, increasing the fuel consumption of land walking, and the whole vehicle needs to be maintained, and the vehicle cannot be used at all during the maintenance period.

[0044] Embodiment 1

[0045] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, this embodiment provides a split-type intelligent docking new energy flying vehicle, including a ground driving module 1, a flight module 2, a functional cabin 3, a flight device 4, and a quick docking module 5.

[0046] In this embodiment, the ground driving module 1 has an independent driving system and a driving control unit for controlling and driving the functional cabin to travel on the ground.

[0047] In this embodiment, the flight module 2 has an independent flight driving system and a flight control unit for controlling the flight device to fly alone or the flight device to drive the functional cabin to fly.

[0048] In this embodiment, the functional cabin 3 includes a personnel cabin and a logistics cabin. The functional cabin 3 is connected to the ground driving module 1 or the flight module 2. It is controlled to drive through the ground driving module in the road driving mode and to fly through the flight module in the flight mode. The personnel cabin and the logistics cabin are switched for use. During the peak daytime hours, the personnel cabin is carried to achieve commuting transportation (with a passenger capacity of 4 - 6 people), and during the low - valley nighttime hours, it is switched to the logistics cabin for cargo distribution (with a volume of 3 - 4m 3 ³), and the equipment utilization rate is increased from 35% of the traditional single - mode to 78%.

[0049] In this embodiment, the flying device 4 includes a fuselage 41, and four groups of rotor units 42 and an automatic lifting landing gear 43 arranged on the fuselage 41. The flying device 4 is connected to the flight module 2. The four groups of rotor units 42 are detachably installed on the fuselage 41, and the four groups of rotor units 42 are symmetrically distributed around the fuselage 41.

[0050] Specifically, the rotation directions of the two rotor units in each of the four groups of rotor units 42 are opposite to each other. There is no need for a tail rotor or a complex transmission structure, and the failure rate is low. It can take off and land vertically, move horizontally in all directions (front, back, left, and right), and rotate in place, adapting to narrow spaces. There are no complex mechanical components, and the maintenance cost is low. The rotor is designed as a separate module, that is, each rotor unit is an independent detachable and replaceable modular component. Each rotor unit includes a motor, an electronic speed controller (ESC), a propeller, a heat dissipation system, and an interface, forming a complete power unit. When quickly maintaining and replacing a single - rotor failure, there is no need to disassemble the machine. Just directly replace the separate rotor module, reducing the downtime. Only replace the damaged parts, avoiding the scrapping of the whole machine and reducing the usage cost.

[0051] Specifically, the automatic lifting landing gear 43 is provided with a multi - stage hydraulic shock - absorbing strut 44. When flying, the automatic lifting landing gear is retracted, which can significantly reduce the air resistance, thereby increasing the flight speed and endurance time. It can also reduce the airflow interference and improve the flight attitude stability, which is remarkable in high - speed flight or windy environments. The multi - stage hydraulic shock - absorbing strut 44 absorbs the ground impact force through hydraulic damping or air pressure buffering (such as a multi - stage oil cylinder) during landing, reducing the vibration transmission to the fuselage and the functional cabin. It can absorb more than 90% of the impact load and protect precision equipment from hard - landing damage.

[0052] In this embodiment, the quick - docking module 5 includes an electromagnetic pre - positioning unit 6 and a mechanical locking unit 7, which are used to achieve the quick connection and separation between the functional cabin 3 and the flying device 4.

[0053] Such as Figures 2 to 4As shown in the figure, the electromagnetic pre-positioning unit 6 includes an alloy housing 61, an electromagnetic pre-positioning ring 62 and a UVW sensor 63 installed at the bottom of the fuselage 41, and a magnet guiding ring 64 installed at the top of the functional cabin 3. The magnetic permeability of the alloy housing 61 is ≥50000, and the thickness is 1.5±0.1 mm, which is used to suppress external magnetic field interference. The electromagnetic pre-positioning ring 62 is located inside the alloy housing 61. The electromagnetic pre-positioning ring 62 is a groove structure distributed in a ring shape, with a diameter of Φ800m. The electromagnetic pre-positioning ring 62 adopts the Halbach array magnetic field generation method, and after being energized, it generates an adsorption force of ≥500 kg / m 2 . The electromagnetic pre-positioning ring 62 guides the functional cabin and the flying device to be automatically aligned through the magnetic field gradient (error <1 cm). The current intensity is adjusted according to the docking distance (enhanced in the near field and weakened in the far field) to avoid accidentally attracting other metal objects. After power-off, the magnetic force automatically disappears to prevent accidental locking. The thickness of the magnet guiding ring is 5 mm, and the magnetic permeability μ≥1.2×10-3 H / m.

[0054] Specifically, the mechanical locking unit 7 includes a conical guiding pin 71 and a hydraulic claw 72. The conical guiding pin 71 is installed at the bottom of the fuselage 41 and is located inside the electromagnetic pre-positioning ring 62. The hydraulic claw 72 is installed at the top of the functional cabin 3 and is located inside the magnet guiding ring 64. The locking pressure of the conical guiding pin 71 and the hydraulic claw 72 is ≥15 MPa. The material of the conical guiding pin is titanium alloy TC4, and the surface is chrome-plated to prevent wear.

[0055] Specifically, the lower part of the conical guiding pin 71 has a conical pin taper angle 711, and the upper part of the conical guiding pin 71 has a root fillet 712. The conical pin taper angle 711 is 12°±0.5°, and the root fillet 712 reduces the risk of fatigue fracture. The hydraulic claw 72 has a chamfered corner 721, a hydraulic cylinder 722, claw teeth 723 and a guiding groove 724. The chamfered corner 721 reduces the insertion resistance of the pin. The hydraulic cylinder 722 drives the claw teeth to close, and the working pressure is 15 MPa; the guiding groove 724 ensures the linear movement of the claw and reduces eccentric wear.

[0056] The working process of the quick docking module 5 in this embodiment is as follows:

[0057] Stage 1: Magnetic pre-positioning (takes 1-3 seconds).

[0058] Proximity induction: When the flying device is 5 m away from the personnel cabin, the UWB (Ultra-Wideband Radio Technology) sensor is activated to share position data in real time. The personnel cabin starts automatic parking and enters the docking area. The electromagnetic pre-positioning ring is energized to generate a gradient magnetic field, and the ferromagnetic guiding ring at the top of the personnel cabin is attracted and automatically slides into the best docking area.

[0059] Stage 2: Mechanical bolt locking (takes 2-5 seconds).

[0060] Pin insertion: The conical guide pin is inserted into the card slot of the crew module, and the laser sensor confirms the centering accuracy (error < 0.5 mm).

[0061] Hydraulic locking: The hydraulic cylinder pushes the claw to close, biting the groove of the pin, and the pressure sensor feeds back the locking state (> 15 MPa is the safety threshold).

[0062] The ground travel module 1, flight module 2, functional cabin 3, flight device 4, and rapid docking module 5 are all equipped with independent energy storage devices, supporting solid-state batteries and / or hydrogen-electric hybrid power sources.

[0063] Embodiment 2

[0064] The rest is the same as Embodiment 1, except that, as Figures 5 to 8 shown, the mechanical locking unit 7 includes a gear-type bolt 71a, a return spring 72a, a power rotating gear 73a, a guide pin 74a, and a docking threaded base 75a. The gear-type bolt 71a is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the fuselage, the return spring 72a is sleeved on the gear-type bolt 71a, four gear-type bolts 71a are distributed around the power rotating gear 73a and are respectively meshed with the outside, the guide pin 74a is sleeved on the gear-type bolt 71a and is located between the gear-type bolt 71a and the fuselage, and the docking threaded base 75a is arranged at the top of the functional cabin.

[0065] In this embodiment, docking is carried out after pre-positioning. The gear-type bolt has an M40 thread below. In the non-docking state, the gear-type bolt is in a retracted state. After the guide pin is inserted into the docking threaded base, the power rotating gear starts, driving the driven gear of the gear-type bolt, thereby pushing the bolt out and thread-engaging with the docking threaded base to lock. Multiple bolts are symmetrically distributed (4 groups), and single-point failure can still maintain locking, with high stability. The gear drive is in milliseconds, and the total locking time < 5 seconds, with a rapid response.

[0066] Embodiment 3

[0067] The rest is the same as Embodiment 1, except that, as Figures 9 to 11 shown, the mechanical locking unit 7 includes a rotating rod 71b, a pressing spring 72b, a cross claw 73b, and a claw positioning disk 74b. The rotating rod 71b is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the fuselage, the pressing spring 72b is sleeved on the rotating rod 71b and is pressed between the rotating rod 71b and the fuselage, the cross claw 73b is located on the outer surface of the rotating rod 71b, and the claw positioning disk 74b is installed at the top of the functional cabin.

[0068] In this embodiment, docking is performed after pre-positioning. The end of the rotating rod is a cross claw. In the non-docked state, the cross claw is at 0 degrees. After the cross claw penetrates into the claw positioning disc, the rotating rod starts to rotate 45 degrees, and the claw is inserted into the diagonal slot. The compression spring is stressed, thus locking.

[0069] Embodiment 4

[0070] The rest is the same as in Embodiment 1, except that, as Figures 12 to 16 shown, the mechanical locking unit 7 includes a ball pin 71c, a shape memory alloy spring 72c, and a positioning and clamping disc 73c. The ball pin 71c is installed at the bottom of the machine body, the positioning and clamping disc 73c is installed at the top of the functional cabin, and the shape memory alloy spring 72c is arranged inside the positioning and clamping disc 73c. The shape memory alloy spring 72c is heated by passing an electric current through the spring heating lead.

[0071] In this embodiment, docking is performed after pre-positioning. There is a shape memory alloy spring inside the positioning and clamping disc. In the non-docked state, the shape memory alloy spring is not heated by passing an electric current, and its initial state is a posture with a bulge in the middle and tightened ends. During docking, the shape memory alloy spring is heated by passing an electric current, and its posture becomes a cylindrical posture. After the tapered ball pin penetrates into the docking base, the shape memory alloy spring is powered off and returns to its initial state, that is, a posture with a bulge in the middle and tightened ends, thus clamping the ball pin to lock.

[0072] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
