For example, the active suspension control method for forced landing protection of a flying car can be directly applied to terminal 110.

[0044] Figure 2 is a flow chart of the method for controlling the active suspension of the flying car in the first embodiment of the present application. Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the method includes but is not limited to steps 201 to 204.

[0045] Step 201, when detecting that the flying car is in a force-landable area, obtaining the ground hardness parameter and the flight height parameter and the suspension compression amount of the flying car.

[0046] The force-landable area refers to the geographical space range in which the flying car can safely and controllably force-land in an emergency (such as power failure, system failure, fuel shortage, etc.). This area needs to have physical safety, regulatory compliance and operability. To detect whether the flying car is in the force-landable area, it can be first determined whether there is a force-landable area within the remaining power / gliding capacity of the flying car, and then the vertical height parameter and the horizontal distance parameter between the flying car and the force-landable area are detected in real time after the force-landing operation is started. When the vertical height parameter and the horizontal distance parameter of the flying car are both within the force-landable parameter interval, it is determined that the flying car is in the force-landable area.

[0047] The ground hardness parameter refers to the anti-deformation ability index of the landing area ground, which can be obtained by the vehicle-mounted geological radar or the pre-constructed ground attribute database, or estimated by the frequency attenuation characteristics of the sound wave reflection signal of the sound wave hardness sensor, and further matched and obtained by combining the pre-stored ground material database, which is used to evaluate the impact force transmission characteristics at the moment of touching the ground. The flight height parameter includes the vertical distance of the flying car from the ground, which can be obtained by measuring the distance between the flying car and the ground in real time by a laser ranging sensor, and is used to derive the landing kinetic energy of the flying car. The suspension compression amount refers to the deformation amount of the active suspension of the flying car during the force-landing process, which is obtained by real-time monitoring by displacement sensors and pressure sensors, and is used to represent the real-time energy absorption state of the suspension. The ground hardness parameter and the flight height parameter and the suspension compression amount of the flying car are obtained by interacting with the corresponding sensors or detection devices.

[0048] Step 202, determining the landing kinetic energy of the flying car according to the flight height parameter.

[0049] Determination of the landing kinetic energy of the flying car according to the flight height parameter can be first obtaining the flight speed parameter of the flying car at the beginning of the force-landing stage, then determining the instantaneous speed of the flying car when it touches the ground according to the flight height parameter and the flight speed parameter of the force-landing stage, and then calculating the landing kinetic energy of the flying car according to the instantaneous speed of the flying car when it touches the ground and the mass of the flying car. The calculation formula of the landing kinetic energy of the flying car is:

[0050] ,

[0051] wherein, is the landing kinetic energy of the flying car, m is the mass of the flying car, is the instantaneous speed of the flying car when landing.

[0052] Step 203, determining the target cushioning kinetic energy of the active suspension of the flying car according to the landing kinetic energy.

[0053] The target cushioning kinetic energy refers to the cushioning kinetic energy that the active suspension of the flying car needs to actively generate, which is dynamically determined by the difference between the landing kinetic energy and the inherent cushioning performance of the suspension.

[0054] Determination of the target cushioning kinetic energy of the active suspension of the flying car according to the landing kinetic energy can be determination of the target cushioning kinetic energy of the active suspension of the flying car according to the total energy balance formula of the flying car when landing. When the suspension is gradually compressed, the active force of the active suspension rapidly rises and eventually remains at a maximum value, which can quickly absorb and offset the landing kinetic energy of the vehicle, and the elastic cushioning potential energy and the damping dissipation energy are combined to complete the absorption of the landing impact energy. After the landing kinetic energy of the flying car is calculated, the parameter ranges of parameters such as elastic cushioning potential energy, damping dissipation energy, heat dissipation energy and electromagnetic actuator efficiency are determined according to historical simulation tests, and then the target cushioning kinetic energy that meets the total energy balance formula of the flying car when landing is determined. The total energy balance formula of the flying car when landing is:

[0055] ,

[0056] wherein, is the elastic cushioning potential energy, is the damping dissipation energy, is the electromagnetic actuator efficiency of the active suspension, is the target cushioning kinetic energy, is the heat dissipation energy.

[0057] In some embodiments, step S203 specifically comprises: calculating the difference between the landing kinetic energy and the reference energy to obtain an actual cushioning kinetic energy; and determining the target cushioning kinetic energy according to the actual cushioning kinetic energy and the electromagnetic actuator efficiency of the active suspension. The reference energy is not greater than the energy obtained by subtracting the heat dissipation energy from the sum of the elastic cushioning potential energy and the damping dissipation energy of the active suspension. Specifically, by setting a reference energy that is not greater than the energy obtained by subtracting the heat dissipation energy from the sum of the elastic cushioning potential energy and the damping dissipation energy, the landing kinetic energy and the reference energy are substituted into the total energy balance formula of the flying car at the time of landing, and the reference energy is used to replace the energy obtained by subtracting the heat dissipation energy from the sum of the elastic cushioning potential energy and the damping dissipation energy, so that the target cushioning kinetic energy that satisfies the total energy balance formula of the flying car at the time of landing can be calculated. Thus, it can be ensured that the active suspension can accurately match the energy absorption requirement during the forced landing process, and the situation of overloading failure or insufficient cushioning capacity of the active suspension can be avoided, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the forced landing process of the flying car.

[0058] Step 204: dynamically configuring the stiffness, damping and active force of the active suspension of the flying car according to the ground hardness parameter, the suspension compression amount and the target cushioning kinetic energy, so that the active suspension absorbs the landing kinetic energy of the flying car.

[0059] Dynamically configuring the stiffness, damping and active force of the active suspension of the flying car according to the ground hardness parameter, the suspension compression amount and the target cushioning kinetic energy can be used to correct the initial set value of the stiffness of the active suspension according to the ground hardness parameter, for example, to reduce the initial stiffness to avoid rigid impact when landing on a harder ground, to use the suspension compression amount as a feedback signal and to use the target cushioning kinetic energy as a target signal to adjust the application gradient of the active force and the damping in real time, to ensure that the energy absorption process is synchronized with the suspension deformation, and to form a dynamic energy dissipation path through the coordinated adjustment of the stiffness, damping and active force, so that the impact energy is gradually absorbed by the active suspension of the flying car. When the flying car enters the forced landing area, the execution body synchronously collects the ground hardness parameter and the flight height parameter and the suspension compression amount of the flying car. The flight height parameter is converted into a specific landing kinetic energy value through the kinetic energy formula, i.e. the landing kinetic energy of the flying car, which is compared with the current cushioning capacity provided by the active suspension to generate an energy target value that needs to be actively absorbed, i.e. the target cushioning kinetic energy of the active suspension of the flying car, and then the stiffness, damping and active force of the active suspension of the flying car are dynamically configured according to the ground hardness parameter, the suspension compression amount and the target cushioning kinetic energy, so that the active suspension absorbs the landing kinetic energy of the flying car.

[0060] In some embodiments, step S204 specifically comprises: dynamically configuring the active force of the active suspension according to the suspension compression amount and the target buffer kinetic energy, so that the active force of the active suspension exponentially increases to a maximum value during the forced landing process; configuring the stiffness of the active suspension according to the ground hardness parameter and the suspension compression amount, so that the stiffness of the active suspension linearly decreases to a target suspension stiffness during the forced landing process; and configuring the damping of the active suspension according to the suspension compression amount, so that the damping of the active suspension linearly increases to a maximum value during the forced landing process.

[0061] During the forced landing process, the active force of the active suspension is configured to exponentially increase with the increase of the suspension compression amount, so that the kinetic energy generated by the work of the active force of the active suspension can match the target buffer kinetic energy. For example, when the suspension compression amount is in an initial stage, the active force of the active suspension starts from a low initial value and slowly rises, at this time, the impact is mainly absorbed by the elastic potential energy of the active suspension itself, and as the suspension compression amount approaches a preset threshold value, the active force of the active suspension rapidly increases to a maximum value to achieve the target buffer kinetic energy. The adjustment of the suspension stiffness is based on the ground hardness parameter and the real-time suspension compression amount. For example, when the ground hardness is high, the initial stiffness is set to a large value to provide rigid support, and then linearly decreases to the target stiffness with the increase of the suspension compression amount, thereby dispersing the impact force at the initial stage of landing and gradually releasing the deformation space during compression. The configuration of the suspension damping is based on the real-time suspension compression amount. For example, when the suspension compression amount is small, the damping is set to a low value to reduce energy loss, and as the suspension compression amount approaches a maximum value, the damping linearly increases to a maximum value, effectively inhibiting the rebound of the active suspension and ensuring the stability of the vehicle body posture. Thus, the buffer capacity of the active suspension is dynamically matched with the change trend of the landing impact energy during the forced landing process, for example, the exponential increase of the active force ensures that the remaining kinetic energy is concentrated at the later stage of the compression of the active suspension, avoiding initial overload, the linear decrease of the stiffness enables the active suspension to withstand the initial impact and absorb energy through deformation, and the linear increase of the damping effectively inhibits the secondary impact caused by the rebound of the suspension, so that the flying car can achieve smooth landing under different ground hardness and forced landing height, and improve the passenger safety and the structural integrity of the vehicle body.

[0062] In some embodiments, dynamically configuring the active force of the active suspension according to the suspension compression amount and the target buffer kinetic energy comprises: when the suspension compression amount does not exceed a suspension compression threshold amount, configuring the active force of the active suspension to exponentially increase with the increase of the suspension compression amount from an initial active force; and when the suspension compression amount exceeds the suspension compression threshold amount, configuring the active force of the active suspension to increase to a maximum value of the active force of the active suspension.

[0063] In the forced landing process, when the suspension compression amount is in the stage of not exceeding the suspension compression threshold amount, the active force of the active suspension starts from the initial active force and gradually increases according to an exponential function relationship as the suspension compression amount increases, which enables the energy absorption process in the initial stage to maintain a gentle cushioning effect and avoid reaching the actuator output limit too early. When the suspension compression amount exceeds the suspension compression threshold amount, the active force of the active suspension is immediately switched to the maximum value output state, at which time the active suspension enters the maximum energy absorption mode to ensure that the remaining impact energy is quickly dissipated. For example, when the suspension compression amount reaches 80% of the suspension compression threshold amount, the active force can be raised to 60% of the maximum value according to an exponential curve, and when the suspension compression amount exceeds the suspension compression threshold amount, the actuator directly outputs the maximum force until the landing is completed. Thus, through the phased active force control strategy, the problem of uneven distribution of cushioning energy of the active suspension in the forced landing process is solved, the overload of the energy absorption device is avoided in the initial stage of suspension compression, and the efficient dissipation of the remaining impact energy is ensured in the later stage of compression, thereby reducing the risk of structural damage to the vehicle body and improving the safety of the occupants.

[0064] In one specific embodiment, the calculation formula of the active force of the active suspension is:

[0065] ,

[0066] wherein, is the active force of the active suspension when the suspension compression amount is z, is the initial active force, is the maximum value of the active force; β is the active force variation rate parameter, is the suspension compression threshold amount.

[0067] The setting of the active force variation rate parameter β and the suspension compression threshold amount can be determined through simulation and experiment. By setting appropriate β and , the active force reaches most of the maximum value of the active force within a predetermined time, while considering the natural frequency and damping characteristics of the active suspension, matching the system dynamic response, and avoiding excessive active force variation leading to system oscillation or occupant discomfort.

[0068] In some embodiments, the stiffness of the active suspension is configured according to the ground hardness parameter and the suspension compression amount, including: determining the real-time ground impact force according to the ground hardness parameter and the suspension compression amount; and configuring the stiffness of the active suspension according to the real-time ground impact force, so that the stiffness of the active suspension decreases linearly from the maximum value of the stiffness of the active suspension as the real-time ground impact force increases, until it decreases to the target suspension stiffness.

[0069] During the landing process, the ground hardness parameter and the suspension compression amount are taken as input variables, and a preset impact force calculation model is used to generate a real-time ground impact force by combining, for example, the product of the ground hardness parameter and the suspension compression amount with a dynamic correction coefficient. The initial value of the stiffness of the active suspension is set as the maximum value of the stiffness, for example, the spring stiffness value in the rigid locking state. As the ground impact force increases, the execution body sends instructions to the stiffness adjusting device, for example, by adjusting the damping liquid flow in the linear adjustment hydraulic circuit, so that the stiffness of the active suspension decreases at a fixed decreasing rate. The decreasing process continues until the real-time ground impact force reaches a preset threshold or the suspension compression amount reaches the stroke limit, at which time the stiffness of the active suspension stabilizes at a target suspension stiffness value, for example, a stiffness parameter corresponding to the optimal energy absorption state of the active suspension. Thus, during the landing process of the flying car, the stiffness of the active suspension is accurately matched according to the dynamic changes of the ground characteristics and the mechanical impact strength, ensuring that the active suspension continuously absorbs impact energy throughout the process from the moment of landing to the stable stage, especially in different ground hardness conditions, such as the switching scene from a concrete road surface to a sandy landform. This scheme can avoid the bouncing of the vehicle body caused by excessively high stiffness or the collapse of the suspension caused by excessively low stiffness, significantly reducing the instantaneous impact acceleration suffered by the passengers.

[0070] In some embodiments, before configuring the stiffness of the active suspension according to the real-time ground impact force, it further includes: dynamically configuring the suspension compression amount and the suspension compression speed of the active suspension, so that a first target evaluation parameter is not greater than a first target evaluation threshold parameter; the first target evaluation parameter is obtained by weighted fitting of the real-time ground impact force, the suspension compression amount and the suspension compression speed of the active suspension.

[0071] During the landing and ground contact stage of the flying car, the real-time ground impact force has a dynamic coupling relationship with the suspension compression amount and the suspension compression speed. By weighted fitting of the three, the first target evaluation parameter can be obtained, which can simultaneously constrain the displacement limit, energy absorption efficiency and impact transmission rate of the suspension. For example, when the first target evaluation parameter approaches the threshold, the suspension compression speed is adjusted to reduce the peak value of the impact energy transmission, or the suspension compression amount is adjusted to optimize the energy absorption path, thereby avoiding the suspension from bottoming out or the actuator from overloading. In this process, the selection of the weighting coefficient can be dynamically adjusted according to the ground hardness parameter, for example, increasing the weighting coefficient of the ground impact force on hard ground to preferentially control the impact peak. Thus, the energy absorption capacity and the structural load limit of the active suspension are balanced in real time during the landing process of the flying car, avoiding damage to the suspension or failure of energy absorption due to local parameter overlimit, thereby improving the reliability of the active suspension and the safety of the passengers during the landing process.

[0072] In a specific embodiment, the calculation formula of the first target evaluation parameter is:

[0073] ,

[0074] wherein, is a first target evaluation parameter, 、 and are weight coefficients, respectively, is a ground impact force at the tth moment, is a suspension compression acceleration at the tth moment, is a suspension compression speed at the tth moment, and T is a landing impact duration.

[0075] In some embodiments, the damping of the active suspension is configured according to the suspension compression amount, including: determining the suspension compression speed of the active suspension according to the suspension compression amount; and configuring the damping of the active suspension according to the suspension compression speed, so that the damping of the active suspension linearly increases from a minimum value of the damping of the active suspension with the increase of the suspension compression speed, until it increases to a maximum value of the damping of the active suspension.

[0076] During the forced landing of the flying car, the real-time suspension compression amount is obtained, the current suspension compression speed is obtained through differential operation or a speed sensor, and then the required damping value is calculated according to a preset linear relationship. When the suspension compression speed is small, the damping of the active suspension is maintained at a minimum level to reduce energy loss, and as the compression speed increases, the damping gradually increases at a fixed slope until it reaches the maximum design value. This dynamic adjustment method can make the damping force always match the impact strength, quickly absorb energy in the initial stage of landing, and provide sufficient buffering capacity in the peak impact phase. Thus, the vibration and secondary impact caused by the sudden change of the suspension compression speed during the forced landing of the flying car can be effectively inhibited, the risk of deformation of the vehicle structure caused by local overload can be significantly reduced, the acceleration impact borne by the passengers in the landing moment can be reduced, and the safety and reliability in the emergency landing scene can be improved.

[0077] Figure 3 is a flowchart of a control method for a flying car forced landing protection active suspension provided by the second embodiment of the present application. Please refer to Figure 3 , on the basis of the Figure 2 embodiment, the method includes but is not limited to steps 301 to 303.

[0078] Step 301, obtaining a ground slope parameter and a motion attitude parameter of the flying car.

[0079] The ground slope parameter refers to the surface inclination angle and direction data of the landing area, which can be collected by scanning the ground profile through a gyroscope, a laser range finder or a camera, and is used to determine the influence of the ground inclination on the tire landing attitude. The motion attitude parameter refers to the pitch angle, roll angle and yaw angle data of the flying car during the forced landing process, which can be obtained by an inertial measurement unit or a visual sensor, and is used to reflect the relative angle between the vehicle body and the ground in real time.

[0080] In step 302, the height of each tire of the flying car is configured according to the ground slope parameter and the motion attitude parameter, so that each tire of the flying car lands at the same time.

[0081] The configuration of the height of each tire of the flying car refers to the adjustment of the stroke length of the active suspension to synchronize the tire contact time, which can be dynamically adjusted by a hydraulic actuator or an electromagnetic actuator, and is used to eliminate the unilateral impact overload caused by uneven ground or vehicle body inclination.

[0082] According to the ground slope parameter and the motion attitude parameter, the height of each tire of the flying car can be configured by first calculating the suspension height deviation of the four tires, then adjusting the height of the active suspension, and adjusting the height of the electromagnetic suspension to make all tires reach a unified landing height.

[0083] In step 303, when the tires of the flying car cannot land at the same time, the active force on each tire of the flying car is compensated to offset the overturning force on the tires of the flying car.

[0084] The compensation of the active force on each tire of the flying car refers to the application of a reverse force on the tires that cannot land synchronously, which can be generated by a motor drive or a pneumatic device to generate a reverse thrust, and is used to balance the overturning moment to maintain the stability of the vehicle body.

[0085] During the landing process of the flying car, the ground slope parameters are collected in real time and combined with the motion attitude parameters, and the required target height of each tire is calculated through the control algorithm. For example, when it is detected that the ground is inclined, the tire located at the high side position can be lowered in advance to match the touchdown time of the low side tire. If the tire cannot land synchronously due to sudden external force interference, for example, the left tire touches the ground in advance while the right tire is still in the air, the right tire is compensated by applying upward active force or increasing the damping force of the left tire, so as to offset the overturning torque caused by asymmetric support. In this process, the tire height adjustment and active force compensation form a closed-loop control, in which the tire height adjustment ensures the landing synchronization priority, and the active force compensation intervenes as an emergency mechanism. In this way, the risk of rollover caused by asynchronous tire touchdown of the flying car on an inclined ground during landing can be effectively solved, the landing stability of the vehicle body is ensured through the height adjustment of the wheels, and the attitude balance is maintained through the active force compensation in the case of sudden imbalance, which significantly improves the safety of emergency landing.

[0086] In a specific embodiment, the calculation formula for compensating the active force on the tire is:

[0087] ,

[0088] ,

[0089] ,

[0090] ,

[0091] ,

[0092] ,

[0093] ,

[0094] wherein, is the compensated active force of tire i, is the active force of tire i before compensation, is the active force compensation amount of tire i, i is a positive integer, i∈[1, 4], , , and are the active force compensation amounts of the front left wheel, the front right wheel, the rear left wheel and the rear right wheel, is the pitch moment, is the roll moment, , , and are the suspension vertical support forces of the front left wheel, the front right wheel, the rear left wheel and the rear right wheel, A longitudinal wheelbase of the flying car, A lateral wheelbase of the flying car.

[0095] By defining a target function, calculating a second target evaluation parameter through the target function, making the second target evaluation parameter not greater than a second target evaluation threshold parameter, minimizing the lateral overturning moment and the longitudinal overturning moment, improving the buffer, and ensuring the smooth landing of the car. The formula for calculating the second target evaluation parameter is:

[0096] ,

[0097] Wherein, is a second target evaluation parameter, and are weight coefficients.
