Abstract

Vamao is a computer-assisted motorized aerial vehicle intended for the transport of people and goods. The invention concerns a vehicle that can operate on land routes by flying over them at an altitude of less than 10 meters thanks to a propulsion system composed of 4 propellers. Thus it can avoid various hazards of land routes such as traffic jams and closed roads, which makes it more practical and efficient than a car. It consists of a front propulsion system (16) composed of two propellers; an upper and a lower and a similar rear propulsion system (18); it also consists of a passenger compartment (1) composed of a seat for the user, a handlebar (3), a control tablet (5). The central computer (4) controls the entire vehicle and ensures, thanks to the distance sensor (14) located below the device, that the vehicle does not exceed an altitude of 10 meters. The vehicle according to the invention is particularly intended for the transport of people and goods but can also be used for military and emergency and other purposes.

Description

Computer-aided motorized aerial vehicle

The present invention relates to a computer-assisted motorized aerial vehicle for transporting people and goods by land.

Traditionally, this transport is provided by land vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, but these trips can be delayed or compromised by hazards such as traffic jams, blocked roads.

The vehicle according to the invention makes it possible to overcome these hazards. It consists of three parts: the front propulsion system consisting of two propellers, one of which is on a rotor, as well as their protective support in which the cables and the various sensors are placed, the upper protective support contains two mirrors; the passenger compartment on which is placed a seat, the central control tablet and a handlebar. Inside the cabin is the central computer, the engine, the batteries and the entire transmission. The passenger compartment rests on a metal frame, below the passenger compartment is a distance sensor; the rear propulsion system consisting of two propellers, one upper and one lower, one of which is on a rotor, as well as their protective support. Thus the user from the handlebars will be able to control the altitude, the movement of the vehicle forwards, backwards, in rotation. The central computer allows the user to control his speed, altitude, possible malfunctions, useful information and displays this information on the control tablet. The computer takes care of making the connection between the rotor and the handlebars. Also the central computer takes care to automatically correct the altitude when the distance sensor indicates an altitude higher than 10 meters so that the user is less than 10 meters from the ground.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:

Figure 1 is a sectional representation of the vehicle.

Figure 2 is a sectional representation of the vehicle without the protective support.

Figure 3 is a sectional representation of the vehicle separated in part.

Figure 4 is a side view representation of a variant of the vehicle.

With reference to these drawings, the vehicle comprises a passenger compartment (1) where the user can sit in his seat (2). So from his seat he uses the handlebars (3) to control the altitude, speed and direction of the vehicle. The actions that the user performs on the handlebars are sent to the central computer (4). Also the central computer in charge of sending useful information to the control tablet (5) which displays the information to the user. When using the device, the movements of the vehicle requested by the user are sent from the handlebars to the central computer which sends the information to the rotor (6) by cables located in the protection of the motor rotation shaft (7). All the power supply of the device is provided by the electric motor (8) which works thanks to its main battery (9) and its auxiliary battery (10). Thus the engine ensures the rotation of the four propellers thanks to the rotation shaft protected in its protection (7) and the transmission system (11). In order to avoid the risk of injury, the propellers are surrounded by protective supports (12 ) which contain cables, various lights and obstacle sensors; the upper front guard bracket has two mirrors (13). The lower guard brackets are connected to the passenger compartment by the chassis parts (14) and the rear guard brackets are supported by pillars (15) inside from which the power cables and connection cables to the sensors will pass. Below the passenger compartment is the distance sensor (16) which allows the altitude in relation to the ground to be checked. Therefore, as soon as the altitude is higher than 10 meters, the sensor sends the information to the central computer which will automatically correct the inclination of the blades (17) in order to reduce the altitude. Thus it is possible to separate the invention into three parts, the front propulsion system (18), the passenger compartment (1) and the rear propulsion system (19). The user has a storage space at the back of the seat (20).

According to a variant not illustrated, the invention may be devoid of a distance sensor.

The vehicle according to the invention is particularly intended for the transport of people and goods.
