[0009] Each pair of the mechanisms for hooking with the electric connecting rods of the vehicle body is arranged in alignment or in staggered arrangement on the upper surface of the electric vehicle skateboard chassis.

[0010] Each of the above-mentioned mechanisms for coupling with the electric connecting rod of the vehicle body includes a first servo electric cylinder, a first hinge plate, a second hinge plate and a coupling rod; the motor end of the first servo electric cylinder is hinged to the first hinge plate, the first hinge plate is fixed on the side wall of one end of the corresponding chassis accommodating groove, the second hinge plate is fixed on the side wall of the chassis accommodating groove away from the motor end of the first servo electric cylinder, the tail end of the coupling rod is hinged to the second hinge plate, and the telescopic arm end of the first servo electric cylinder is hinged to the middle part of the coupling rod through a double pin hole, and a coupling part is provided at the front end of the coupling rod, which can be coupled and fixed to the corresponding end face of the vehicle body, and the two coupling rods have a simple structure, fast coupling and strong stability.

[0011] The camming mechanism of each electric connecting rod of the vehicle body comprises a first servo electric cylinder, a first hinge plate, a second hinge plate, a hook connecting rod, a third hinge plate, a crank arm connecting rod and a straight arm connecting rod; the motor end of the first servo electric cylinder is hinged to the first hinge plate, and the first servo electric cylinder is not fixedly connected to the chassis accommodating groove, so as to prevent the first servo electric cylinder from generating torque with other connecting rods when the telescopic arm is extended, causing the telescopic jamming phenomenon; the first hinge plate is fixed on the side wall of one end of the chassis accommodating groove in the corresponding position, and the telescopic arm of the first servo electric cylinder is hinged to one end of the crank arm connecting rod through a double pin hole, and the first The three hinged plates are fixed on the bottom wall of the corresponding chassis accommodating groove, the bent part of the crank arm connecting rod is hinged on the third hinged plate, the other end of the crank arm connecting rod is hinged to the tail end of the hook connecting rod, the second hinged plate is fixed on the side wall of the chassis accommodating groove away from the motor end of the first servo electric cylinder, the tail end of the straight arm connecting rod is hinged on the second hinged plate, the front end of the straight arm connecting rod is hinged to the middle part of the hook connecting rod, and the front end of the hook connecting rod is provided with a hooking part, which can be hooked and fixed with the corresponding end face of the vehicle body. The four-link structure has a high fault tolerance rate, which avoids the failure of electromagnetic parts in the existing technology and thus affects the system function.

[0012] The included angle between the two bending arms of the crank link is an obtuse angle, and the range of the included angle is 95°-130°.

[0013] A car includes a car body and a quick connection structure between the electric car body and the chassis. The lower end surface of the car body can be matched, fitted and fixed with the upper surface of the chassis of the electric car skateboard; the lower end surface of the car body is provided with a downwardly opening car body hooking accommodating groove corresponding to the position of each hooking part; a fixing rod is horizontally connected between a pair of side walls of the car body hooking accommodating groove corresponding to the movement track of the hooking part, and the hooking part at the front end of the corresponding hooking rod can be hooked and fixed with the fixing rod, thereby reducing the impact of electromagnetic component failure in the prior art on the entire electric car system.

[0014] A car also includes a pair of electric body lifting devices, which are both arranged on the lower end surface of the same side of the car body; the electric body lifting device includes an L-shaped support arm plate exposed on the lower end surface of the car body, the L-shaped support arm plate can be vertically displaced up and down, and the upper end surface of its long arm can be fitted and fixed to the lower end surface of the electric car skateboard chassis, the car body and the L-shaped support arm plate can clamp and fix the middle part of the electric car skateboard chassis, so as to realize the feasibility of expanding the use scenario of a single electric car skateboard chassis by replacing different types of cabin bodies, an L-shaped support arm plate driven by an electric cylinder and its controller are installed under the side of the car body, which can extend to support the ground when the skateboard chassis is separated from the car body, thereby realizing self-lifting and support of the car body, and cooperating with the side movement of the skateboard chassis to realize automatic and rapid separation of the car body and the skateboard chassis.

[0015] A pair of longitudinal long grooves with lower ends open are arranged front and back on the same side in the width direction of the lower end surface of the vehicle body, and each longitudinal long groove has a fixing plate fixed at the open end thereof, and the fixing plate and the matching longitudinal long groove constitute an electric cylinder accommodating cavity; the vehicle body electric lifting device also includes a second servo electric cylinder, the motor end of the second servo electric cylinder is accommodated in the electric cylinder accommodating cavity, the motor end of the second servo electric cylinder is fixed to the inner surface of the fixing plate, the telescopic end of the second servo electric cylinder can be slidably sleeved on the fixing plate, and the front of the telescopic end of the second servo electric cylinder is exposed. Outside the outer surface of the fixed plate, the front part of the telescopic end of the second servo electric cylinder and the upper end surface of the short arm of the L-shaped support arm plate are connected to each other, and the L-shaped support arm plate can be moved up and down synchronously with the second servo electric cylinder; an L-shaped support arm plate and its controller are installed at the lower side of the vehicle body. When the L-shaped support arm plate moves away from the skateboard chassis, the limitation of the L-shaped support arm plate on the skateboard chassis can be released. The telescopic arm of the second servo electric cylinder continues to extend, which can make the L-shaped support arm plate contact with the ground and then lift the vehicle body, realizing self-lifting and support of the vehicle body, and cooperating with the lateral movement of the skateboard chassis to realize automatic and rapid separation.

[0016] The fixing plate is provided with a sliding rod sleeve, and a sliding rod is vertically provided on the upper end surface of the short arm of the L-shaped support arm plate corresponding to the position of the sliding rod sleeve, and the sliding rod is slidably sleeved in the sliding rod sleeve; a hinge part is protruding from the upper end surface of the short arm of the L-shaped support arm plate corresponding to the telescopic end position of the second servo electric cylinder, and the double pin holes at the front of the telescopic end of the second servo electric cylinder are hinged to the hinge part through a hinge shaft. The horizontal opening direction of the hinge hole of the hinge part is perpendicular to the length direction of the long arm surface of the L-shaped support arm plate. The purpose of setting the sliding rod is to prevent the telescopic arm of the second servo electric cylinder from tilting relative to the fixed plate perforation due to the weight of the L-shaped support arm plate The increase in oblique friction causes the telescopic arm of the second servo electric cylinder to be locked on the fixed plate and unable to complete telescopic extension. The slide rod slides up and down in the slide rod sleeve with lubricating oil applied inside, playing the main guiding and supporting role, and the double pin holes of the second servo electric cylinder are rotatably connected to the hinge part through the hinge shaft. When the far end of the long arm surface of the L-shaped support arm plate tilts downward due to gravity, the telescopic end of the second servo electric cylinder will not be tilted relative to the fixed plate due to the torsion force due to the hinged connection with the short arm end of the L-shaped support arm plate. This avoids the failure of the telescopic arm of the second servo electric cylinder being locked by the fixed plate and unable to complete telescopic extension.

[0017] The vehicle body also includes a cockpit domain controller, and the second servo electric cylinder is connected to the cockpit domain controller by wires to realize the function of independently electrically controlling the electric lifting device to release the limit on the skateboard chassis and thereby lift the vehicle body. The electric vehicle skateboard chassis also includes a chassis domain controller, and the first servo electric cylinder is connected to the chassis domain controller by wires to realize independent control of the vehicle body electric connecting rod coupling mechanism to couple the vehicle body fixing rod to couple the vehicle body to the sliding chassis, or to disconnect the vehicle body electric connecting rod coupling mechanism from the vehicle body fixing rod to disconnect the vehicle body from the sliding chassis. The chassis and body each have a domain controller, and other controllers of the chassis and body (such as the vehicle body audio and video entertainment control, the chassis automatic driving control, braking control, high-voltage control, steering control, drive control, suspension control, thermal management control, etc.) are connected to the corresponding domain controller according to their location. The cockpit domain controller and the chassis domain controller implement centralized, unified and standardized management of functional logic and signals, ensuring the functional integrity of each domain after the chassis and body are separated, while realizing adaptation of different chassis and bodies. Wireless communication can be carried out between the cockpit domain controller and the chassis domain controller to ensure coordinated control during the connection process of the chassis and body.

[0018] The air conditioning system air circuit, 12V power supply and CAN communication that are connected to the electric vehicle skateboard chassis and the body are all connected to each other using a gas-electric quick-plug interface. The gas-electric quick-plug interface is an energy docking combination board. Each pair of energy docking combination boards can simultaneously realize 2-way PT3 / 8 self-sealing air circuits, 7 / 8-5-pin 9A independent bus power supply and M12-4-pin D-coded bus interface functions.

[0019] Beneficial effects

[0020] The skateboard chassis of the present invention is equipped with an electric cylinder multi-link device and its controller. The multi-link can hook or loosen the fixed rod on the floor of the vehicle body to achieve connection and separation with the vehicle body. It has a simple structure, low production cost, high mechanical unlocking fault tolerance and low failure rate. An electric cylinder L-shaped support rod and its controller are installed under the side of the vehicle body. When the chassis is separated from the vehicle body, it can extend to support the ground to achieve self-lifting and support of the vehicle body, and realize automatic and rapid separation in conjunction with the movement of the chassis. The air duct of the air-conditioning system, 12V power supply, CAN communication, etc. that are connected to the chassis and the vehicle body also use quick connection interfaces for plugging in or separating. The structure is greatly simplified, and the failure of a single part will not affect the system function, and the robustness is good. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0058] How it works

[0059] Body and electric car skateboard chassis unlocked

[0060] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 as well as Figure 9-10 As shown, when a different vehicle body needs to be replaced or the vehicle body and skateboard chassis need to be repaired, first, the cockpit domain controller of the vehicle body 3 issues a command to control the second servo electric cylinders 332 of the two vehicle body electric lifting devices 33 to synchronously step upward by a few millimeters, driving the two L-shaped support arm plates 331 and the electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1 to synchronously move upward by a few millimeters and then stop the operation, so that the hooking portion 241 at the front end of each hooking rod 24 of the vehicle body electric connecting rod hooking mechanism 2 is released from the tight hooking and contact relationship with the corresponding fixed rod 32 on the vehicle body 3, and the hooking rod 24 and the fixed rod 32 become in close proximity to each other in the vertical direction;

[0061] The chassis domain controller issues a command to control the retraction of the telescopic arms of the four first servo electric cylinders 21 of the vehicle body electric link mechanism 2, causing the rear end of the corresponding linked crank arm link 26 to rotate downward counterclockwise, and the front end of the crank arm link 26 to rotate upward counterclockwise, driving the tail end of the corresponding hook link 24 to move upward, and the front end of the straight arm link 27 to rotate downward counterclockwise, driving the hinged hook portion 241 to rotate clockwise while the height of the hook portion 241 is lowered relative to the initial hook state; at this time, the hooking and fixing between the vehicle body 3 and the electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1 is released;

[0062] Then, the cockpit domain controller issues a command to control the telescopic arms of the second servo electric cylinders 332 of the two body electric lifting devices 33 to move downward synchronously, driving the two L-shaped support arm plates 331 to move downward continuously. The two L-shaped support arm plates 331 first release the limit contact relationship with the electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1, and then the two L-shaped support arm plates 331 will contact and support the ground where the vehicle is parked, and continue to move the telescopic arms of the two second servo electric cylinders 332 downward until the body is lifted to a certain height (about 10 cm), and the operation of the two body electric lifting devices 33 is stopped; at this time, the body 3 is in a suspended state with the electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1. Since the air conditioning system air circuit, 12V power supply and CAN communication of the electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1 and the body 3 are connected to each other using gas-electric quick plug interfaces, in the process of separating the body 3 from the electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1, all the docked gas-electric quick plug interfaces are separated from each other under the influence of the lifting force, completing the automatic separation of the air circuit and circuit interface;

[0063] After the vehicle body 3 is separated from the electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1, the four tires of the electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1 are driven to turn to an angle perpendicular to the length direction of the electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1, and the four wheels are driven to rotate, so that the electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1 moves away from the two L-shaped support arm plates 331, completing the separation of the vehicle body and the electric vehicle skateboard chassis. The new vehicle body and the electric vehicle skateboard chassis are locked.

[0064] Like the previous body, the new body is equipped with a cockpit domain controller, two electric body lifting devices 33, and matching body hook-connecting slots 31 and fixing rods 32. In order to be assembled with the electric vehicle skateboard chassis of matching shape, the body must first be lifted according to the lifting steps of the electric body lifting devices 33.

[0065] Then, the unlocked and separated electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1 is moved horizontally to the bottom of the new vehicle body;

[0066] The cockpit domain controller of the new vehicle body sends a command to control the telescopic arms of the second servo electric cylinders 332 of the two vehicle body electric lifting devices 33 to move upward and retract synchronously, and the vehicle body gradually lowers its height until it contacts the electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1, and the telescopic arms of the second servo electric cylinders 332 continue to retract, driving the two L-shaped support arm plates 331 to move upward continuously. The two L-shaped support arm plates 331 first release the contact support with the ground where the vehicle is parked, and continue to move the telescopic arms of the two second servo electric cylinders 332 upward. The two L-shaped support arm plates 331 contact the lower end surface of the electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1, stopping the two vehicle bodies. At this time, all the gas-electric quick-connect interfaces of the air-conditioning system, 12V power supply, and CAN communication that are connected to the electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1 and the new vehicle body are automatically connected to each other, completing the automatic plug-in of the gas circuit and circuit interface; the cockpit domain controller of the new vehicle body issues a command to control the second servo electric cylinders 332 of the two vehicle body electric lifting devices 33 to synchronously step upward by a few millimeters, driving the two L-shaped support arm plates 331 and the electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1 to synchronously move upward and then stop the operation, so as to facilitate the subsequent hooking operation of the hooking portion 241 with the corresponding fixing rod 32 on the vehicle body 3;

[0067] The chassis domain controller of the electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1 sends a command to control the extension of the telescopic arms of the four first servo electric cylinders 21 of the vehicle body electric link mechanism 2, so that the rear end of the corresponding linked crank arm link 26 rotates upward in a clockwise direction. At the same time, the front end of the telescopic arm of the first servo electric cylinder 21 is lifted up with the first hinge plate 22 as the axis, and the front end of the crank arm link 26 rotates downward in a clockwise direction, driving the tail end of the corresponding hook link 24 to move downward, and the front end of the straight arm link 27 rotates upward in a clockwise direction, driving the hinged hook portion 241 to rotate counterclockwise. At the same time, the hook portion 241 rises relative to the height of the initial adjacent state with the fixed rod 32 until the hook portion 241 contacts the side wall of the fixed rod 32 and stops operating. At this time, the hook link 24 and the fixed rod 32 become adjacent to each other in the vertical direction.

[0068] The cockpit domain controller of the vehicle body sends out instructions again to control the second servo electric cylinders 332 of the two vehicle body electric lifting devices 33 to step down synchronously by a few millimeters, driving the two L-shaped support arm plates 331 and the electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1 to move down synchronously by a few millimeters and then stop operating, so that each hooking rod 24 of the vehicle body electric connecting rod hooking mechanism 2 is in a tight hooking and contacting relationship with the corresponding fixed rod 32 on the vehicle body 3. At this time, the two L-shaped support arm plates 331 and the lower end surface of the electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1 are still in a limit contact relationship, and the hooking and fixing between the new vehicle body and the electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1 is locked; the assembly of the new vehicle body and the electric vehicle skateboard chassis 1 is completed.
