[0019] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0020] As an important carrier of the future urban three-dimensional transportation system, the core value of flying cars lies in achieving a seamless integration of ground driving and air flight, providing users with highly flexible and efficient travel solutions.

[0021] However, while existing multi-rotor flying cars have vertical take-off and landing capabilities, their overall range is limited and their flight speed is difficult to increase due to the significant reduction in aerodynamic efficiency of the rotor system during high-speed flight, thus failing to meet the actual needs of long-distance flight.

[0022] Meanwhile, while flying cars with fixed wings can provide relatively high level flight efficiency during the cruise phase, their fixed structure completely eliminates their vertical take-off and landing capabilities. They must rely on traditional airport runways for take-off and landing, which is difficult to implement in densely populated urban areas or space-constrained environments, severely limiting the ease of operation for users and the breadth of application scenarios.

[0023] like Figures 1-3 This application describes a flying car and a flying car control method according to embodiments thereof.

[0024] The flying car includes: a body 100, wing components, rotor components, and a control system; The vehicle body 100 refers to the main structure of the flying car, which is used to carry passengers, cargo, or install other functional components.

[0025] The wing assembly includes the wing body 210 and motion control components that correspond one-to-one with the wing body 210.

[0026] The wing bodies 210 are respectively located on opposite sides of the vehicle body 100. The motion control components are installed on the vehicle body 100 and connected to the wing bodies 210 to adjust the attitude of the wing bodies 210. The rotor assembly is located on the wing body 210; The control system is an electronic system that is responsible for receiving instructions, processing information and sending control signals to various actuators. The control system is electrically connected to the motion control components and rotor assembly to enable the flying car to have a first flight state, a second flight state and a driving state. like Figure 1 As shown, when the flying car is in the first flight state, the wing body 210 is parallel to the length direction of the vehicle body 100, the rotor assembly is opened, and the rotating end of the rotor assembly faces the first direction, which can be vertically upward. like Figure 2 As shown, when the flying car is in the second flight state, the wing body 210 is perpendicular to the length direction of the vehicle body 100, the rotor assembly is opened, and the rotating end of the rotor assembly faces the second direction, which can be horizontally forward. like Figure 3 As shown, when the flying car is in motion, the wing body 210 is parallel to the length direction of the vehicle body 100, the rotor assembly is closed, and the rotating end of the rotor assembly faces the first direction.

[0027] In this embodiment, the flying car, by configuring an adjustable wing body 210 and an openable / closeable rotor assembly, and with its operation coordinated by a control system in different states, achieves efficient level flight in the first flight state, vertical takeoff and landing and hovering in the second flight state, and ground movement in the driving state. Thus, this flying car overcomes the limitations of traditional multi-rotor 310 flying cars, such as short range and slow speed, while also solving the problems of fixed-wing flying cars being unable to take off and land vertically and relying on runways, significantly improving the flexibility and convenience of the flying car.

[0028] In some of the above embodiments, the wing body 210 of the flying car adjusts its attitude through motion control components to adapt to different flight and driving states. However, in practical applications, a single motion control component may not be able to simultaneously realize the rotation and folding functions of the wing body 210, thus limiting the flexibility and compactness of the wing body 210's attitude adjustment, especially when it is necessary to retract the wing body 210 or change the flight mode.

[0029] In some embodiments, the motion control element includes a rotation control unit and a folding control unit; The rotating end of the rotation control unit is fixedly connected to the wing body 210; The folding control unit is mounted on the vehicle body 100 and is hinged to the rotation control unit; The control system is electrically connected to the rotation control unit and the folding control unit.

[0030] Specifically, the rotation control unit is a mechanism specifically designed to achieve the rotational movement of the wing body 210. Its rotating end is fixedly connected to the wing body 210 to ensure that the rotational torque can be effectively transmitted to the wing body 210.

[0031] The rotation control unit can be implemented in various forms. For example, it can be a rotary actuator with a built-in electric motor and a reduction gear set, which drives the reduction gear set through the electric motor to rotate the output shaft connected to the wing body 210. Alternatively, it can be a rotary motor; this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0032] In actual operation, the rotation control unit controls the wing body 210 to rotate 90°, for example, the wing body 210 is perpendicular to the length direction of the vehicle body 100, and the rotating end of the rotor assembly faces the second direction (e.g., Figure 2 In the posture shown, the wing body 210 is rotated 90° to be perpendicular to the length direction of the vehicle body 100, and the rotating end of the rotor assembly is facing the first direction. This posture facilitates the folding control unit to control the folding of the wing body 210.

[0033] The folding control unit is responsible for folding or unfolding the wing body 210 relative to the vehicle body 100. This folding control unit is mounted on the vehicle body 100 and connected to the rotation control unit via a hinge structure. This hinged relationship allows the folding control unit to drive the rotation control unit (and the wing body 210 thereon) to pivot around the hinge point.

[0034] In actual operation, the folding control unit controls the wing body 210 to pivot 90°, for example, in the attitude where the wing body 210 is perpendicular to the length direction of the vehicle body 100 and the rotating end of the rotor assembly is facing the first direction; by pivoting 90°, the wing body 210 is adjusted to be parallel to the length direction of the vehicle body 100 and the rotating end of the rotor assembly is facing the first direction.

[0035] An electrical connection is established between the control system and the rotation control unit and the folding control unit, enabling the control system to independently send commands to the rotation control unit and the folding control unit and receive their status feedback, so as to realize the complex attitude adjustment of the wing body 210 under different flight and driving conditions.

[0036] By employing the aforementioned technical solution, the single motion control component is subdivided into a rotation control unit and a folding control unit with independent functions, and coordinated by the control system, significantly improving the attitude adjustment capability of the wing body 210. The rotation control unit focuses on achieving the rotation of the wing body 210, for example, quickly and accurately adjusting the direction of the wing body 210 when switching between the first and second flight states. The folding control unit focuses on achieving the folding and unfolding of the wing body 210, for example, compactly folding and storing the wing body 210 when switching from flight to driving state, thereby reducing the overall size of the flying car and facilitating ground driving and parking. This design not only simplifies the internal structure of each control mechanism, improving its reliability and control accuracy, but also makes the transition between different operating modes of the flying car more flexible, smooth, and efficient.

[0037] In some embodiments, the vehicle body 100 is further provided with a connecting portion 110; a folding control portion is installed at one end of the connecting portion 110 away from the vehicle body 100. The connecting portion 110 typically needs to have sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand the loads generated by the folding control portion and the wing body 210 during movement and flight.

[0038] In some embodiments, the end of the connecting portion 110 facing away from the vehicle body 100 is located on the side of the vehicle body 100. This mounting method allows the folding control unit to have a larger operating space, thereby allowing the wing body 210 to be connected to perform a greater range of folding and unfolding movements without physical interference with the vehicle body 100 or other adjacent components.

[0039] In some embodiments, the rotor assembly is fixed to the edge of the wing body 210.

[0040] This mounting method can include connecting the rotor assembly to the structural edge of the wing body 210 via welding or other means, or connecting it using a dedicated mounting bracket integrated into the wing edge. Positioning the rotor assembly at the edge of the wing body 210 helps optimize the aerodynamic layout, reduces interference with airflow to the wing body 210 during rotor operation, and may utilize the structural strength of the wing edge for support, thereby simplifying the overall structural design. The edge can be the leading edge of the wing.

[0041] In actual operation, the rotor assembly includes four rotors 310; each wing body 210 is provided with two rotors 310, and the two rotors 310 are arranged at intervals.

[0042] In some embodiments, the flying car also includes a tail fin 400; The rear wing 400 is retractably mounted at the rear end of the vehicle body 100; Specifically, when in the first or second flight state, the tail fin 400 is far from the rear end of the vehicle body 100; when in the driving state, the tail fin 400 is close to the rear end of the vehicle body 100.

[0043] In this embodiment, the tail fin 400 is retractably mounted on the rear end of the vehicle body 100, capable of switching between deployed and retracted states. When the flying car is in either the first or second flight state, the control system drives the telescopic mechanism to extend the tail fin 400 outward from the rear end of the vehicle body 100, reaching its fully deployed or preset flight deployment position. In this state, the tail fin 400 obtains sufficient lever arm, effectively providing the aerodynamic stability and control force required for flight, ensuring the stability and safety of the flying car in the air. When the flying car switches to driving mode, the control system instructs the telescopic mechanism to retract the tail fin 400. The tail fin 400 is retracted to a position close to the rear end of the vehicle body 100, for example, close to the exterior of the vehicle body 100, or completely stored in the storage space inside the vehicle body 100, minimizing its impact on the overall outline of the vehicle body 100. This retracted state helps reduce the overall length of the flying car when driving on the ground, improving its maneuverability in urban environments, parking convenience, and ability to pass through narrow areas, while also effectively protecting the tail fin 400 from collisions or damage during ground driving.

[0044] In actual implementation, the rear end of the vehicle body 100 is provided with a storage space, the rear wing 400 is inserted through the vehicle body 100, and part of the rear wing 400 is suitable for storage in the storage space.

[0045] In actual implementation, the tail fin 400 includes a telescopic section, a horizontal fin 410, and two vertical fins 420; The telescopic part passes through the vehicle body 100, and the end of the telescopic part away from the vehicle body 100 is fixedly connected to the horizontal wing 410. The two vertical wings 420 are arranged in parallel and fixed at both ends of the horizontal wing 410. The vehicle body 100 has an opening for passage, which is connected to the storage space. The opening is suitable for the flat wing 410 to pass through and enter the storage space.

[0046] In this embodiment, the telescopic part is the core component for realizing the telescopic movement of the tail wing 400. It can be a linear telescopic mechanism driven by an electric push rod, a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, so that the horizontal wing 410 and the two vertical wings 420 can extend and retract along the length of the vehicle body 100. The horizontal wing 410 is the main lift or stabilizing surface of the tail wing 400, and is typically a flat airfoil structure. Its main function is to provide pitch stability and control during flight, assisting the flying car in maintaining attitude balance. The shape and size of the horizontal wing 410 can be optimized according to the overall aerodynamic layout of the flying car to achieve the best aerodynamic efficiency. The two vertical wings 420 are structures set perpendicular to the horizontal wing 410, and their main function is to provide yaw stability and control.

[0047] The clearance opening is an opening on the vehicle body 100 designed to facilitate the retraction of the horizontal wing 410. This clearance opening connects to the storage space at the rear of the vehicle body 100, ensuring that the horizontal wing 410 can smoothly pass through the opening and enter the storage space during the retraction of the tail wing 400. The existence of the clearance opening solves the problem of potential interference between the horizontal wing 410 and the structure of the vehicle body 100 during retraction, allowing the horizontal wing 410, which has a relatively large spanwise dimension, to be effectively stored, thereby achieving compact storage of the tail wing 400.

[0048] The control method for flying cars provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0049] The control method for the flying car can be applied to the terminal, and can be executed by the hardware or software in the terminal.

[0050] The terminal includes, but is not limited to, portable communication devices such as mobile phones or tablets with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touchscreen displays and / or touchpads). It should also be understood that, in some embodiments, the terminal may not be a portable communication device, but rather a desktop computer with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touchscreen displays and / or touchpads).

[0051] The following embodiments describe a terminal including a display and a touch-sensitive surface. However, it should be understood that the terminal may include one or more other physical user interface devices such as a physical keyboard, mouse, and joystick.

[0052] The control method for flying cars provided in this application embodiment can be executed by an electronic device or a functional module or entity in an electronic device that can implement the control method for flying cars. The electronic devices mentioned in this application embodiment include, but are not limited to, mobile phones, tablets, computers, cameras, and wearable devices. The control method for flying cars provided in this application embodiment will be described below using an electronic device as the execution subject as an example.

[0053] The control method for the flying car includes steps 110, 120, 130, 140, and 150.

[0054] Step 110: Issue a usage status command to the flying car; Step 120: Determine the usage status command; Step 130: When the state command is the first flight state, control the action control unit to adjust the wing body 210 to be parallel to the length direction of the vehicle body 100, and the rotating end of the rotor assembly is facing the first direction; control the rotor assembly to open; Step 140: When the state command is the second flight state, control the action control unit to adjust the wing body 210 to be perpendicular to the length direction of the vehicle body 100, and the rotating end of the rotor assembly is facing the second direction. Step 150: When the usage status command is in driving state, control the action control unit to adjust the wing body 210 to be parallel to the length direction of the vehicle body 100, and the rotating end of the rotor assembly is facing the first direction; control the rotor assembly to close.

[0055] Through the aforementioned control method, the flying car can automatically and coordinately adjust the configuration of its wing body 210 and rotor assembly according to received usage status commands. This ensures that all key components of the flying car are in optimal working condition under different operating modes, thereby improving the accuracy, safety, and efficiency of switching between the first flight state, the second flight state, and the driving state. This method avoids configuration errors that may be caused by manual operation, simplifies the driver's operating procedures, fully utilizes the flying car's multi-mode operation capabilities, and enhances the user experience and overall vehicle performance.

[0056] In some embodiments, step 130, when the usage state command is a first flight state, controls the action control unit to adjust the wing body 210 to be parallel to the length direction of the vehicle body 100, and the rotating end of the rotor assembly is oriented towards the first direction, includes: Step 131: Control the wing body 210 to unfold, and in the direction of the wing body 210 perpendicular to the length of the vehicle body 100; Step 132: Simultaneously control the wing body 210 to rotate, and make the rotating end of the rotor assembly rotate from the first direction to the second direction.

[0057] Through the above technical solution, the folding control unit drives the wing body 210 to gradually unfold from a storage position parallel to the length of the vehicle body 100, so that it faces a direction perpendicular to the length of the vehicle body 100. At the same time, the rotation control unit drives the wing body 210 to rotate, so that the rotating end of the rotor assembly fixed thereon rotates synchronously from a first vertically upward direction to a second horizontally forward direction. During this process, the rotor assembly is activated and begins to work. Under the synergistic effect of wing unfolding and rotor 310 directional adjustment, it simultaneously provides lift and forward thrust, thereby enabling the flying car to smoothly and quickly transition to the first flight state where the wing body 210 is parallel to the length of the vehicle body 100 and the rotor 310 is facing forward, achieving efficient cruise.

[0058] This embodiment, on the one hand, simultaneously completes wing deployment and rotor 310 steering, overlapping the time for mechanical actions with the time for obtaining aerodynamic benefits. This achieves a continuous and direct transition from ground to cruise, significantly shortening the transition time and reducing ineffective energy consumption during the hovering phase, thus improving overall energy and time efficiency. On the other hand, this smooth and continuous transition process avoids the traditional method of vertical takeoff and hovering. During the cruise phase, a vulnerable window of power and aerodynamic mismatch, this not only makes flight attitude changes smoother and safer but also simplifies the complex multi-stage operation into an automated command sequence, greatly reducing control difficulty and operational risks.

[0059] In other embodiments, the flying car of the present invention has dual-use (land and air) capabilities. For example... Figure 3 As shown, in driving mode, its four rotor components are folded and retracted, the wing body 210 is folded to both sides of the vehicle body 100, and the tail wing 400 is retracted and stored in the storage space of the trunk of the vehicle body 100, so that it complies with road regulations and can drive normally on ordinary roads and highways.

[0060] When the flying car arrives at a vertical takeoff and landing airport or a suitable open ground, it can switch to flight mode. First, the control system controls the tail fin 400 to extend and deploy from the vehicle body 100, and controls the rotor assembly to activate. At this time, as... Figure 1 As shown, the flying car enters the second flight state (i.e., vertical take-off and landing state), and can take off vertically to a safe height of about 15 meters.

[0061] Subsequently, the flying car entered a transitional phase from vertical to horizontal flight.

[0062] During this stage, the control system controls the action control components to deploy the wing body 210 in a direction perpendicular to the length of the vehicle body 100; at the same time, it controls the rotation of the wing body 210 and causes the rotating end of the rotor assembly to rotate from the first direction to the second direction.

[0063] During this process, the power vector provided by the four rotors 310 gradually changes from being primarily vertically upward to being primarily horizontally forward, and the lift required for flight also simultaneously transitions from being primarily powered by the rotors 310 to being primarily powered by the aerodynamic lift generated by the wings. When the wing body 210 is fully tilted to a horizontal position (the wing body 210 is perpendicular to the length direction of the vehicle body 100, and the rotating end of the rotor assembly faces the second direction), and the flight speed accelerates to above 1.2Vs, the flying car fully transitions to its first flight state, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it can perform efficient cruise flight in low-altitude airspace of 300-1000 meters.
