Is BYD's car drone patent exposed or used in the new car?

Easy Car News Recently, BYD's high-end brands look up to the patent map of millions of hard-core off-road vehicles. Looking up to the brand will be officially released in the first quarter of 2023. Its first product is a million-class hard-core off-road vehicle equivalent to Mercedes-Benz G-class positioning. It will be listed in the first half of 2023, and the price may exceed one million yuan. At the same time, we also found an interesting new function from the patent, which may be equipped on this new car-vehicle drone.

On June165438+1October 1 1, the State Administration announced two utility model patents, named "UAV hangar" and "UAV hangar and its supporting vehicles" respectively. From the picture, it is also a device erected on the roof, with a retractable UAV landing platform, as shown in the following figure.

According to the description in the patent, the hangar is installed on the luggage rack at the top of the vehicle, and the exit behind the hangar is closed when not in use. When the flight command is received, the exit can be opened, the take-off platform is pushed out by the linkage mechanism, and the drone takes off.

When landing, because the vehicle is in motion, if the hangar is in the wrong position, the drone may be blown off the roof by airflow, causing damage. In this patent, the apron can selectively extend from the parking cavity to the rear area of the engine room, so that the drone can take off and land at the rear side of the engine room, which reduces the disturbance of airflow to the drone during the driving of the vehicle and improves the stability of the drone when taking off and landing.

Meanwhile, there is a magnetic attraction structure under the apron. When the power supply energizes the magnetic attraction structure, the electromagnet can generate magnetic force to attract the landing gear of the drone and firmly fix the drone on the tarmac. When preparing to take off, the UAV will start running until there is enough lift and the power supply stops energizing the electromagnet, so that the UAV can take off from the parking area stably.

In addition, the patent also reveals a unique function: changing electricity. The endurance of drones has always been a problem. Although charging is a solution, it will take several hours after all. In the patent, a power exchange rack is proposed, which can be movably installed in the parking cavity, and the mechanical claw at the front end of the power exchange rack can replace the spare battery for the drone. Of course, vehicle-mounted drones are not a new concept. Many car companies have had similar ideas before.

As can be seen from the latest patent drawings, the air intake grille of the new car is very unique in shape of "I", and it also integrates split headlights, which is highly recognizable. The spare tire box at the rear of the car adopts polygonal design, and the point of the taillight may be integrated with the LED light source, which is very unique.
