附录1外文翻译Automobile Brake SystemThe braking system is the most important system in cars. If the brakes fail, the result can be disastrous. Brakes are actually energy conversion devices, which convert the kinetic energy (momentum) of the vehicle into thermal energy (heat).When stepping on the brakes, the driver commands a stopping force ten times as powerful as the force that puts the car in motion. The braking system can exert thousands of pounds of pressure on each of the four brakes.Two complete independent braking systems are used on the car. They are the service brake and the parking brake.The service brake acts to slow, stop, or hold the vehicle during normal driving. They are foot-operated by the driver depressing and releasing the brake pedal. The primary purpose of the brake is to hold the vehicle stationary while it is unattended. The parking brake is mechanically operated by when a separate parking brake foot pedal or hand lever is set.The brake system is composed of the following basic components: the “master cylinder” which is located under the hood, and is directly connected to the brake pedal, converts driver foot’s mechanical pressure into hydraulic pressure. Steel “brake lines” and flexible “brake hoses”connect the master cylinder to the “slave cylinders” located at each wheel. Brake fluid, specially designed to work in extreme conditions, fills the system. “Shoes” and “pads” are pushed by the slave cylinders to contact the “drums” and “rotors” thus causing drag, which (hopefully) slows the car.The typical brake system consists of disk brakes in front and either disk or drum brakes in the rear connected by a system of tubes and hoses that link the brake at each wheel to the master cylinder (Figure).Basically, all car brakes are friction brakes. When the driver applies the brake, the control device forces brake shoes, or pads, against the rotating brake drum or disks at wheel. Frictionbetween the shoes or pads and the drums or disks then slows or stops the wheel so that the car is braked.In most modern brake systems (see Figure 15.1), there is a fluid-filled cylinder, called master cylinder, which contains two separate sections, there is a piston in each section and both pistons are connected to a brake pedal in the driver’s compartment. When the brake is pushed down, brake fluid is sent from the master cylinder to the wheels. At the wheels, the fluid pushes shoes, or pads, against revolving drums or disks. The friction between the stationary shoes, or pads, and the revolving drums or disks slows and stops them. This slows or stops the revolving wheels, which, in turn, slow or stop the car.The brake fluid reservoir is on top of the master cylinder. Most cars today have a transparent r reservoir so that you can see the level without opening the cover. The brake fluid level will drop slightly as the brake pads wear. This is a normal condition and no cause for concern. If the level drops noticeably over a short period of time or goes down to about two thirds full, have your brakes checked as soon as possible. Keep the reservoir covered except for the amount of time you need to fill it and never leave a cam of brake fluid uncovered. Brake fluid must maintain a very high boiling point. Exposure to air will cause the fluid to absorb moisture which will lower that boiling point.The brake fluid travels from the master cylinder to the wheels through a series of steel tubes and reinforced rubber hoses. Rubber hoses are only used in places that require flexibility, such as at the front wheels, which move up and down as well as steer. The rest of the system uses non-corrosive seamless steel tubing with special fittings at all attachment points. If a steel line requires a repair, the best procedure is to replace the compete line. If this is not practical, a line can be repaired using special splice fittings that are made for brake system repair. You must never use copper tubing to repair a brake system. They are dangerous and illegal.Drum brakes, it consists of the brake drum, an expander, pull back springs, a stationary back plate, two shoes with friction linings, and anchor pins. The stationary back plate is secured to the flange of the axle housing or to the steering knuckle. The brake drum is mounted on the wheel hub. There is a clearance between the inner surface of the drum and the shoe lining. To apply brakes, the driver pushes pedal, the expander expands the shoes and presses them to the drum. Friction between the brake drum and the friction linings brakes the wheels and the vehicle stops. To release brakes, the driver release the pedal, the pull back spring retracts the shoes thus permitting free rotation of the wheels.Disk brakes, it has a metal disk instead of a drum. A flat shoe, or disk-brake pad, is located on each side of the disk. The shoes squeeze the rotating disk to stop the car. Fluid from the master cylinder forces the pistons to move in, toward the disk. This action pushes the friction pads tightly against the disk. The friction between the shoes and disk slows and stops it. This provides the braking action. Pistons are made of either plastic or metal. There are three general types of disk brakes. They are the floating-caliper type, the fixed-caliper type, and the sliding-caliper type. Floating-caliper and sliding-caliper disk brakes use a single piston. Fixed-caliper disk brakes have either two or four pistons.The brake system assemblies are actuated by mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic devices. The mechanical leverage is used in the parking brakes fitted in all automobile. When the brake pedal is depressed, the rod pushes the piston of brake master cylinder which presses the fluid. The fluid flows through the pipelines to the power brake unit and then to the wheel cylinder. The fluidpressure expands the cylinder pistons thus pressing the shoes to the drum or disk. If the pedal is released, the piston returns to the initial position, the pull back springs retract the shoes, the fluid is forced back to the master cylinder and braking ceases.The primary purpose of the parking brake is to hold the vehicle stationary while it is unattended. The parking brake is mechanically operated by the driver when a separate parking braking hand lever is set. The hand brake is normally used when the car has already stopped. A lever is pulled and the rear brakes are approached and locked in the “on” position. The car may now be left without fear of its rolling away. When the driver wants to move the car again, he must press a button before the lever can be released. The hand brake must also be able to stop the car in the event of the foot brake failing. For this reason, it is separate from the foot brake uses cable or rods instead of the hydraulic system.Anti-lock Brake SystemAnti-lock brake systems make braking safer and more convenient, Anti-lock brake systems modulate brake system hydraulic pressure to prevent the brakes from locking and the tires from skidding on slippery pavement or during a panic stop.Anti-lock brake systems have been used on aircraft for years, and some domestic car were offered with an early form of anti-lock braking in late 1990’s. Recently, several automakers have introduced more sophisticated anti-lock system. Investigations in Europe, where anti-lock braking systems have been available for a decade, have led one manufacture to state that the number of traffic accidents could be reduced by seven and a half percent if all cars had anti-lock brakes. So some sources predict that all cars will offer anti-lock brakes to improve the safety of the car.Anti-lock systems modulate brake application force several times per second to hold the tires at a controlled amount of slip; all systems accomplish this in basically the same way. One or more speed sensors generate alternating current signal whose frequency increases with the wheel rotational speed. An electronic control unit continuously monitors these signals and if the frequency of a signal drops too rapidly indicating that a wheel is about to lock, the control unit instructs a modulating device to reduce hydraulic pressure to the brake at the affected wheel. When sensor signals indicate the wheel is again rotating normally, the control unit allows increased hydraulic pressure to the brake. This release-apply cycle occurs several time per second to “pump” the b rakes like a driver might but at a much faster rate.In addition to their basic operation, anti-lock systems have two other things in common. First, they do not operate until the brakes are applied with enough force to lock or nearly lock a wheel. At all other times, the system stands ready to function but does not interfere with normal braking. Second, if the anti-lock system fail in any way, the brakes continue to operate without anti-lock capability. A warning light on the instrument panel alerts the driver when a problem exists in the anti-lock system.The current Bosch component Anti-lock Braking System (ABSⅡ), is a second generation design wildly used by European automakers such as BWM, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. ABSⅡsystem consists of : four wheel speed sensor, electronic control unit and modulator assembly.A speed sensor is fitted at each wheel sends signals about wheel rotation to control unit. Each speed sensor consists of a sensor unit and a gear wheel. The front sensor mounts to the steering knuckle and its gear wheel is pressed onto the stub axle that rotates with the wheel. The rear sensor mounts the rear suspension member and its gear wheel is pressed onto the axle. The sensor itself is a winding with a magnetic core. The core creates a magnetic field around thewinding, and as the teeth of the gear wheel move through this field, an alternating current is induced in the winding. The control unit monitors the rate o change in this frequency to determine impending brake lockup.The cont rol unit’s function can be divided into three parts: signal processing, logic and safety circuitry. The signal processing section is the converter that receives the alternating current signals form the speed sensors and converts them into digital form for the logic section. The logic section then analyzes the digitized signals to calculate any brake pressure changes needed. If impending lockup is sensed, the logic section sends commands to the modulator assembly.Modulator assemblyThe hydraulic modulator assembly regulates pressure to the wheel brakes when it receives commands from the control utuit. The modulator assembly can maintain or reduce pressure over the level it receives from the master cylinder, it also can never apply the brakes by itself. The modulator assembly consists of three high-speed electric solenoid valves, two fluid reservoirs and a turn delivery pump equipped with inlet and outlet check valves. The modulator electrical connector and controlling relays are concealed under a plastic cover of the assembly.Each front wheel is served by electric solenoid valve modulated independently by the control unit. The rear brakes are served by a single solenoid valve and modulated together using the select-low principle. During anti-braking system operation, the control unit cycles the solenoid valves to either hold or release pressure the brake lines. When pressure is released from the brake lines during anti-braking operation, it is routed to a fluid reservoir. There is one reservoir for the front brake circuit. The reservoirs are low-pressure accumulators that store fluid under slight spring pressure until the return delivery pump can return the fluid through the brake lines to the master cylinder.译文汽车制动系统制动系统是汽车中最重要的系统。
附录:英汉对照Automotive oxygen sensor failure andinspection of the commonThe automotive industry is currently in the international application of the sensor on one of the largest markets, and the oxygen sensor reported the number of patents, ranking the first in automotive sensors. Oxygen sensor installed in the vehicle exhaust pipe, use it to detect the oxygen content in exhaust port. Oxygen sensor and thus can be obtained in accordance with the signal, put it back to the control system tofine-tune the fuel injection, so that A / F control at best, not only greatly reduces emissions and saves energy. At present, the practical application of the oxygen sensor has zirconia dioxide oxygen sensors and the two oxygen sensors. And common oxygen sensor and a single lead, double-lead and lead of three points; single pin for Zirconia oxygen sensor; double lead for the titanium dioxide oxygen sensor;three-lead type for the heating oxygen zirconia sensors, in principle, lead the way on three of the oxygen sensor is not a substitute for use. Are one of the most widely used type of zirconia oxygen sensor.First, zirconia oxygen sensor structureIn the use of three-way catalytic converters to reduce exhaust pollution on the engine, oxygen sensors are essential components. Oxygen sensor is located in the first section of the exhaust pipe, catalytic converter at the front. There is a Oxygen Sensor zirconia (a ceramic) components manufacturers, all of its outside has a layer ofthin-plated platinum. Zirconia ceramic plated body at one end with a thin layer of platinum closed. Into the protection of the latter was set, and installed in a metal body. Further protect the protection of the role of sets played and sensor can be installed on the exhaust manifold. Ceramic exhaust external exposure, and the internal atmosphere and the environment the same.This component has a very high temperature resistance, low temperature so do not allow current through. However, when high temperature, because of the air and exhaust gas oxygen concentration difference, oxygen ions can, through this component. This raises the potential difference, platinum to enlarge. In this way,air-fuel ratio lower than the theoretical air-fuel ratio (thick), the components in the oxygen sensor in (air) outside (the atmosphere) between the oxygen concentration has a greater bad. Thus, the sensors have a relatively strong one voltage (Johnson V). On the other hand, if the rare gas mixture, air and exhaust gas oxygen concentration difference between the very small, have a sensor, there is only one relatively weak voltage (near 0 volts).Because once the mixture of air-fuel ratio deviation from the theoretical air-fuel ratio, ternary catalysts for CO, HC and NOX purification capacity will be a sharp decline, it is installed at the exhaust pipe oxygen sensor for detecting oxygen concentration in the exhaust, and ECU the issue of feedback signal, and then by theECU to control fuel injection amount of injector change, which will control the mixture at the air-fuel ratio near the theoretical value.Two, automotive oxygen sensor working principleOxygen sensor installed in the exhaust manifold, it can detect the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust, air-fuel ratio calculated, and the results sent to the ECU.For example:1, exhaust gas oxygen concentration in the high –When emissions are significant when the percentage of oxygen, ECU will accordingly determine the air-fuel ratio, and that is very dilute mixture.2, exhaust gas oxygen concentration in the low –When the percentage of oxygen in the exhaust very, ECU to determine air-fuel ratio will accordingly small, that is very strong mixture. Temperature higher than300 ℃, the ceramic materials used for the iron conductor. Under these conditions, if the percentage of oxygen sensors on both sides of the different content will have a voltage change at both ends. Two types of environment (air-side and exhaust side) of the different measurements of the oxygen content of these changes tell ECU, exhaust at the oxygen content in the remainder of the generation of harmful emissions to ensure that combustion is not appropriate percentage. Ceramic materials at temperatures lower than 300 ℃are non-linear, and thus the sensor is not a useful signal transmission. ECU has a special function, that is, heating machine at pm (open-loop operation) to stop the adjustment of the mixture. Sensors equipped with heating elements to reach operating temperature quickly. When current flows through the heating elements, it reduces the iron to make ceramics become conductors of time, and which makes the sensor can be installed in the exhaust pipe of the site later.In the three-way catalytic purifier Medium, ECU using data from the oxygen sensor to regulate the air-fuel ratio, but the method of standard Carburetor EFI device somewhat different.At EFI device, EFI's ECU fuel injection through the increase or decrease from the injected fuel volume, adjusting air-fuel ratio. If the ECU from the oxygen sensor detects the mixture too thick, it will gradually reduce the amount of fuel injection, the mixture of on-thinning. Therefore the actual air-fuel ratio becomes greater than the theoretical air-fuel ratio (more dilute). When this happens, ECU through the oxygen sensor to detect the truth, it will start a gradual increase in the volume of spray. In this way, air-fuel ratio is too low, some will Luan (more dense) until the air-fuel ratio lower than the theoretical. Thus, the cycle repeated, ECU main cloud in this way, constant changes in air-fuel ratio, the actual air-fuel ratio near the theoretical air-fuel ratio.Carburetor in the use of the device, are entered by regulating air intake air-fuel ratio of air-conditioning. Mixture theory is usually air-fuel ratio to maintain a little thick. ECU within the air-fuel ratio oxygen sensor has been the information, and manipulation, according to the actual air-fuel ratio EBCU (electronically controlled intake valve) regulator into the carburetor air intake volume. If mixture is too strong, it allows more air to enter to-thinning: If mixture is too thin, it allows less air to enter,so that moreThird, the common automotive oxygen sensor faultOnce the oxygen sensor fails, the electronic fuel injection system will enable the computer should not be the oxygen concentration in the exhaust pipe of the information, and therefore should not be on the air-fuel ratio feedback control, the engine will increase fuel consumption and exhaust pollution, engine idle speed instability, lack of fire, such as fault-surge situation. Therefore, it is necessary to troubleshoot in a timely manner or replaced.1, oxygen sensor poisoningOxygen sensor poisoning and are often more difficult to control emerging as a fault, in particular, are often the use of leaded petrol cars, even the new oxygen sensor, and can only be the work of thousands of kilometers. If only minor lead poisoning, and then use a box of unleaded petrol, will be able to eliminate the surface of oxygen sensor lead to the resumption of normal work. But often because of excessive exhaust temperature, which lead intrusion in their internal and impede the spread of oxygen ions to oxygen sensor failure can only be replaced at this time.In addition, the oxygen sensor silicon poisoning happened is common. In general, gasoline and lubricants containing silicon compounds generated by combustion silica, silicon rubber seal gasket improper use of silicone emitting gas,will cause the oxygen sensor failure, and therefore want to use good quality fuel and lubricants .Right to choose the repair and installation of rubber gaskets, coated on the sensor not to require the use of factory and other than the anti-solvent, etc.2, carbon depositionNot because of engine combustion, in the carbon deposition formed on the surface of oxygen sensor, oxygen sensor or the internal into the sediment, such as oil or dust will impede or block the external air into the oxygen sensor internal to oxygen sensor signal output inaccurate, ECU should not timely correct air-fuel ratio. Soot produced, mainly for increased fuel consumption, emission levels were significantly increased. At this point, if the sediment removal will restore normal working.3, oxygen sensor ceramic fragmentsCeramic oxygen sensor hardware and crisp, with a hard object by knocking or washing with a strong air currents blowing all its fragmentation and possible failure. Therefore, be particularly careful when handling and found that the timely replacement of problem.4, heater resistance wire blownThe heating-type oxygen sensor, if the resistance heater wire ablation, it is difficult to make sensors to reach normal operating temperature and the loss of role.5, oxygen sensor breaking off the internal circuits.Four, automotive oxygen sensor method1, oxygen sensor heater resistance checkUnplug the oxygen sensor wiring harness plug, use a multimeter resistance measurement file in the oxygen sensor heater terminal access-chu-chu with Ground between access resistance and its resistance to 4-40Ω (refer to specific modelspecification). Such as not meeting the standard, should be the replacement of oxygen sensor.2, oxygen sensor voltage feedback measurementMeasurement of oxygen sensor feedback voltage should unplug the oxygen sensor wiring harness plug, the control circuit models, the feedback from the oxygen sensor voltage output terminal on a thin wire leads, and then plug harness plugs well, in the engine operation , measured from the pinout on the feedback voltage (some models can also be inner socket fault detection by a voltage of oxygen sensor feedback, such as the production of Toyota cars can be a series of fault detection from the socket terminal OX1 or OX2 directly measured oxygen sensor feedback voltage). Oxygen sensor feedback on the test voltage, it is best to use with low-range (typically 2V) and high impedance (resistance greater than 10MΩ) multimeter pointer type. Detection of specific methods are as follows: 1) hot cars engine to normal operating temperature (or after the start-up speed of 2500r/min running 2min); 2) will file a negative voltage multimeter table T then fault detection within the socket or the battery negative electrode E1 is fault detection table T then the socket jack OX1 or OX2, or receive oxygen sensor wiring harness plug on the No. | round; 3) to allow the engine to maintain speed around 2500r/min operation voltage meter at the same time check whether the pointer back and forth between 0-1V swing, with a note of voltage meter pointer 10s the number of swing. Under normal circumstances, with the feedback control, the oxygen sensor feedback voltage will be 0.45V at changing up and down, 10s in the number of feedback voltage changes should not be less than 8 times. If less than 8 times, then oxygen sensor feedback control system or not working properly because the surface of oxygen sensor are possible there is carbon deposition, so that lower sensitivity. In this regard, should be allowed to 2500r/min engine speed operation of about 2min, to clear the surface of the carbon deposition oxygen sensor, and then check the feedback voltage. If the removal of carbon deposition may change after the voltage meter pointer is still slow, then oxygen sensor damaged, or have computer feedback control circuit fault. 4) check whether the damaged oxygen sensor Unplug the oxygen sensor wiring harness plug, so that oxygen sensor is no longer connected with the computer, feedback control system is in a state ofopen-loop control. The multimeter voltage pen table file is directly related to oxygen sensor feedback voltage output terminal connected to the negative form of good Ground pen. Measurement of engine operation at the feedback voltage, the first intake pipe was torn off and then up at the mandatory crankcase ventilation hose vacuum tube or other artificially dilute the mixture to form, at the same time watch voltage meter, the pointer should be dropped readings. Was torn off and then connected to the pipeline, and then unplug the water temperature sensor connector, a 4-8KΩ in place of the resistance temperature sensor, the formation of artificially dense mixture, at the same time watch voltage meter, the indicator reading should be increased. Can also be used, or a sudden release the accelerator pedal down approach to change the concentration of the mixture, in sudden pedal down to accelerate, the mixture变浓, feedback voltage should be increased; sudden release when the accelerator pedal,mixed gas-thinning, feedback voltage should be decreased. If the oxygen sensor feedback voltage without the above changes show that the oxygen sensor has been damaged. In addition, the titanium dioxide-type oxygen sensor using the above method at the time, if a good oxygen sensor output voltage to 2.5V as the center should be up and down fluctuations. Otherwise, the sensor can be removed and exposed to the air, cooling the resistance value after the measurement. If a large resistance value that sensor is ok, or should replace the sensor. 5) oxygen sensor to check the color appearance Removed from the exhaust pipe on oxygen sensors, sensors to check whether the shell to plug up the vents, ceramic core whether or not broken. If damaged, replace the oxygen sensor should be. By observing the top part of the oxygen sensor can also determine the color breakdown:①light gray top: This is the normal color of the oxygen sensor; ②white top: pollution from silicon, oxygen sensor must be replaced at this time; ③brown top: pollution by lead, if serious, we must replace the oxygen sensor; ④black top: caused by carbon deposition, carbon deposition in the exclusion of engine failure, the general oxygen sensor can automatically clear up the accumulatedcarbon. Conclusion: for energy conservation and the prevention of pollution from motor vehicles, most developed countries in the West aerobic sensors installed on my car is loaded oxygen sensor must be used. China's automobile industry with foreign countries, one of the main gap, but also in automotive sensors. Therefore, we can come to promote the use of oxygen sensor is very optimistic about the prospects.汽车氧传感器的常见故障及检查汽车行业是目前在国际上应用传感器最大的市场之一,而氧传感器申报的专利数,居汽车传感器的首位。
外文文献原稿和译文原稿A New Type Car -- Hybrid Electric VehicleWith skyrocketing fuel prices and changes in weather patterns, many car manufacturers claimed to develop the kind of vehicles that will increase the mileage and reduce the emissions. Hybrid car is a kind of vehicle which can meet above requirements. A hybrid car features a small fuel-efficient gas engine combined with an electric motor that assists the engine.The reasons of building such a complicated machine are twofold: to reduce tailpipe emissions and to improve mileage. Firstly, hybrid cars are good for the environment. They can reduce smog by 90 percent and they use far less gasoline than conventional cars. Meanwhile, hybrid cars burn less gasoline per mile, so they release fewer greenhouse gases. Secondly, hybrid cars are economical. Hybrid cars, which run on gas and electricity, can get up to 55 to 60 miles per gallon in city driving, while a typical SUV might use three times as much gas for the same distance! There are three reasons can mainly account for that: 1) Hybrid engines are much smaller than those on conventional cars. A hybrid car engine is to accommodate the 99% of driving time when a car is not going up hills or accelerating quickly. When extra acceleration power is needed, it relies on the battery to provide additional force. 2) Hybrid gasoline engine can shut off when the car is stopped and run off their electric motor and battery.3) Hybrid cars often recover braking energy. Electric motors could take the lost kinetic energy in braking and use it to charge the battery. Furthermore, hybrids are better than all-electric cars because hybrid car batteries recharge as you drive so there is no need to plug in. Most electric cars need to be recharged every 50-100miles. Also, most electric cars cannot go faster than 50-60 mph, while hybrids can.Hybrid cars bridge the gap between electric and gasoline-powered cars by traveling further and driving faster and hybrid gas-electric cars are proving to be a feasible alternative at a time of high gas prices. So, in my opinion, hybrid cars will have a bright future.How Does Hybrid Electric Vehicle Work?You probably own a gasoline or diesel-engine car. You may have heard ofelectric vehicles too. A hybrid vehicle or hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a combination of both. Hybrid vehicles utilize two or more sources of energy for propulsion. In the case of HEVs, a combustion engine and an electric motor are used.How it works depends on the type of drive train it has. A hybrid vehicle can either have a parallel or series or parallel-series drive train.Parallel HybridThe parallel hybrid car has a gas tank, a combustion engine, transmission, electric motor, and batteries.A parallel hybrid is designed to run directly from either the combustion engine or the electric motor. It can run using both the engine and the motor. As a conventional vehicle, the parallel hybrid draws its power from the combustion engine which will then drive the transmission that turns the wheels. If it is using the electric motor, the car draws its power from the batteries. The energy from the batteries will then power the electric motor that drives the transmission and turns the wheel.Both the combustion engine and the electric motor are used at the same time during quick acceleration, on steep ascend, or when either the engine or the motor needs additional boost.Since the engine is directly connected to the wheels in a parallel drive train, it eliminates the inefficiency of converting mechanical energy into electrical energy and back. This makes a very effective vehicle to drive on the highway.Series HybridThe series hybrid car also has a gas tank, a combustion engine, transmission, electric motor, and batteries with the addition of the generator. The generator can be the electric motor or it can be another separate component.The series configuration is the simplest among the 3. The engine is not connected to the transmission rather it is connected to the electric motor. This means that the transmission can be driven only by the electric motor which draws its energy from the battery pack, the engine or the generator.A hybrid car with a series drive train is more suited for city driving conditions since the engine will not be subjected to the varying speed demands (stop, go, and idle) that contributes to fuel consumption.Series-Parallel HybridThe series-parallel configuration solves the individual problems of the parallel and series hybrid. By combining the 2 designs, the transmission can be directly connected to the engine or can be separated for optimum fuel consumption. The Toyota Prius and the Ford Escape Hybrid use this technology.Honda’s hybridFor those of you who have toyed with the idea of buying a hybrid but were discouraged by the price, you are not alone. In fact, despite the growing concern for the environment, not to mention the skyrocketing price of gas, hybrid cars still only represent a small percentage of global car sales, and a major reason for this is the cost.Hybrids are considered the wave of the future because they not only reduce emissions, addressing the issue of climate change, but they get great gas mileage, animportant consideration with the current price of oil. It should be noted that hybrids can also improve the power of the engine, which compromises any advantages in fuel efficiency and emissions. Whatever the application, however, the technology makes the cars more expensive.Because of this, they are the vehicle of choice for only a small niche of people who can afford them, and they currently enjoy a special status amongst the image conscious celebrity-set. For most average consumers, however, they are not an option.That may soon change.Honda Motor Corporation, one of the largest car manufacturers in the world and a leader in fuel efficient technology, has unveiled it’s plan to introduce a low-cost hybrid by 2009. If they can pull it off, they hope to make the hybrid a more mainstream car that will be more appealing to the general public, with the ultimate goal of achieving greater sales and broader appeal than their current incarnation.This, of course, is making Detroit nervous, and may signal a need for American car makers to start making greener and more fuel efficient vehicles, something they could afford to ignore in the past because hybrid cars weren’t worth their attention (due to such a small market share) while gas-guzzling SUVs have such high profit margins.Honda, meanwhile, has had to confront a growing need to compete with Toyota, which has not only grown to be the world’s largest automaker, but makes the car that has become synonymous with the hybrid movement, the Prius. Honda is therefore faced with the seemingly insurmountable task of challenging Toyota’s dominance in the market.Concurrently, Toyota is racing to lower production costs on the Prius, as well, which would hopefully result in a lower cost to the consumer. All eyes are on a potentially favorable car buyers market in 2009.In the meantime, with even adamant global warming naysayers warming up (no pun intended) to the possibilities of an ecological disaster on the horizon, maybe it’s time that we got over our need to drive huge SUVs and start moderating our fuel consumption.Then again, as gas prices hovering around $4.00 and with no ceiling in sight, we may have little choice in the matter.Engine Operating PrinciplesMost automobile dngines are internal combustion, reciprocating 4-stroke gasoline engines, but other types have been used, including the diesel, the rotary ( Wankel ) , the 2-srtoke, and stratified charge.Reciprocating means up and down or banck and forth, It is the up and down action of a piston in the cylinder blick, or engine block. The blick is an iron or aluminum casting that contains engine cylinders and passges called water jackets for coolant circulation. The top of the block is covered with the cylinder head. Which forms the combustion chanber. The bottom of the block is covered with an oil pan or oil sump.Power is produced by the linear motion of a piston in a cylinder. However, this linear motion must be changed into rotary motion to turn the wheels of cars of trucks. The piston is attached to the top of a connecting rod by a pin, called a piston pin or wrist pin. The bottom of the connecting rod is attached to the crankshaft. The connecting rod transmits the up-and-down motion of the piston to the crankshaft, which changes it into rotary motion.The connecting rod is mounted on the crankshaft with large beaings called rod bearings. Similar bearings, called main bearings, are used to mount the crankshaft in the block. Shown in Fig. 1-1The diameter of the cylinder is called the engine bore. Displacement and compression ratio are two frequently used engine specifications. Displacement indicates engine size, and compression ratio compares the total cylinder volume to compression chamber volume.The term stroke is used to describe the movement of the iston within the cylinder, as well as the distance of piston travel. Depending on the type of engine the operating cycle may require either two or four strokes to complete. The 4-stroke engine is also called Otto cycle engine, in honor of the German engineer, Dr. Nikolaus Otto, who first applied the principle in 1876. In the 4-stroke engine, four strokes of the piston in the cylinder are required to complete one full operating cycle. Each stroke is named after the action it performs intake, compression, power, and exhaust in that order, shown in Fig1-2.1、Intake strokeAs the piston moves down, the vaporized mixture of fuel and air enters the cylinder through open intake valve. To obtain the maximum filling of the cylinder the intake valve opens about 10°before t.b.c., giving 20°overlap. The inlet valve remains open until some 50°after b.d.c. to take advantage of incoming mixture.2、 Compression strokeThe piston turns up, the intake valve closes, the mixture is compressed within the combustion chamber, while the pressure rise to about 1Mpa, depending on various factors including the compression ratio, throttle opening and engine speed. Near the top of the stroke the mixture is ignited by a spark which bridges the gap of the spark plug.3、 Power strokeThe expanding gases of combustion produces a rise in pressure of the gas to some 3.5Mpa, and the piston is forced down in the cylinder. The exhaust valve opens near the bottom of the stroke.4、Exhust strokeThe piston moves back up with the exhaust valve open some 50°before b.d.d., allowing the pressure within the cylinder to fall and to reduce ‘back’pressure on the piston during the exhaust stroke, and the burned gases are pushed out to prepare for the next intake stroke.The intake valve usually opens just before the exhaust stroke. This 4-stroke cycle is continuously repeared in every as long as the engineremains running.A 2-stroke engine also goes through four actions to complete one operatingcycle.However, the intake and the compression actions are combined in one seroke, and the power and exhaust actions are combined in the other stroke. The term2-stroke cycle or 2-stroke is preferred to the term 2-cycle, which is really not accurate.In automobile engines, all pistons are attached to a single crankshaft. The more cylinders an engine has, the more power strokes produced for cach revolution. This means that an 8-cylinder engine runs more smoothly bdcause the power atrokes are closer together in time and in degrees of engine rotation.The cylinders of multi-cylinder automotive engines arranged in one of three ways. 1、Inline engines use a single block of cylinder.Most 4-cylinder and any 6-cylinder engines are of this design. The cylinders do not have to be vertical. They can be inclined either side.2、V-type engines use two equal bands of cylinders, usually inclined 60degrees or 90degrees from the cach other. Most V-type engines have 6 or 8 cylinders, although V-4 and V-12 engines have been built.3、Horizontally opposed or pancake engines have two equal banks of cylinders 180degreeas apart. These space saving engine designs are often air-cooled, and are found in the Chevrolet Carvair, Porsches, Subaus, and V olkswagens.

It should ensure that the car has a variety of driving conditions necessary for traction, speed, and to ensure coordination between the traction and speed changes and other features that make the car has good power and fuel economy; also ensure the car can reverse, and left and right drive wheels can adapt to the requirements of the differential,And power transmission can be smoothly bonded or completely, the rapid separation as required. Driveline including clutch, transmission, drive shaft, main gear, differential and axle and other parts of the drive train in different ways according to the energy transfer is divided into mechanical transmission, hydraulic transmission, hydraulic, electric transmission and so on. First, the composition of the transmission systemClutch function: 1, the clutch can gradually combined to ensure a smooth start car engines and automotive drivetrain. 2, the clutch can temporarily cut off the engine and drive train, easy engine starting and transmission shift, in order to guarantee smooth drivetrain shift work. 3, the clutch can limit the transmitted torque, to prevent overloading the driveline.Composition: active part, the driven part, the pressing means, separating means and control mechanism.Universal transmission function:in the car any angle and relative position between a pair of shafts to transmit power between changes often occur shaft.The universal drive axleDrive axle gearing (or transmission)power came through deceleration by twisting, changing the direction of power transmission power by deceleration by twisting, (when the engine is longitudinal) after changing the direction of power transmission, assigned to the left and right wheels, making the car running, and allows the drive wheels to the left and right at different speeds. Drive axle assembly is the last of its drivetrain from the main reducer, differential, axle and axle components.Transmission functions: (1)change the transmission ratio: expanding the scope of variation of torque and speed of the drive wheel to adapt to frequent changes in driving conditions, such as start, acceleration, uphill, so that the engine work in favorable conditions. (2) in the direction of rota0 tion of the engine under the same premise, so the car can travel backwards. (3) the use of neutral, interrupt the power transmission, to allow the engine to start, idling, and to facilitate the transmission shift or power output.Second, the transmission consists of:the speed change transmission mechanism and operating mechanism Most ordinary transmission gear and some planetary gear drive. Ordinary gear shift mechanism for general use gears and clutch slip. How associated gear slip displacement gear and gear points. With triple sliding gear shift, a large axial dimension; with displacement sliding gear transmission, compact structure, but smaller than the gear change. There mesh type clutch and friction points. When using the clutch is engaged, the transmission speed difference should stop or very hour, with a friction clutch for shifting in operation at any speed difference, but small carrying capacity, and can not guarantee strict two-axis synchronization. To overcome this drawback, the engagement clutch friction plate tops to, when the first gear wheel driven by the friction plates to the synchronous speed and then joined. Planetary gear transmission brake control gear available.Third, the structural characteristics of the transmission Automatic transmission automatically selects the gear .and has the following salient features: 1.Good driving performance.2.manipulate simple.3.high traffic safety.4. to reduce emissions. 5. You can extend engine and driveline life. 6.increase productivity. but the automatic transmission drawback is:Its structure is more complicated, but also more difficult to repair. Another automatic transmission transmission efficiency is not high enough, of course, by matching engine optimization, lockup, and other measures to increase the number of gears, thetransmission efficiency can be close to the efficiency of the automatic transmission manual transmission level.Fourth, the transmission Category:1), according to the gear ratio change the way: a stepped, stepless and comprehensive formula①stepped: a step-most widely used transmission, which uses a gear drive, with a number of valuation ratios.a gear train used by different: there is a fixed axis (ordinary gear transmission) and the axis of the rotary transmission (planetary gear transmission) two.b. At present, the transmission drive cars and light and medium trucks than the usual 3 to 5 forward gears and one reverse gear.c. In the heavy-duty vehicles using a modular transmission, the use of more stalls, usually made of a combination of two transmissions.②stepless: stepless transmission ratio within a certain range can be varied by an infinite number of levels.a. Are common type and a hydraulic power (dynamic liquid) two.b. Electricity formula also used in the driveline trend widely used, its variable transmission member for DC series wound motor.c. A hydraulic drive unit is a hydraulic torque converter.③comprehensive type: integrated gearbox is defined by the torque converter and gear-type stepped transmission consisting of hydraulic mechanical transmission. Transmission ratio can be made infinitely variable within a few discontinuities between the maximum and minimum range, the current is widely used.2), by manipulating points: Forced manipulation, automatic and semi-automatic actuated actuated①. Forced actuated transmission shift lever operated directly by the driver, used for most cars.②. Robotic gearbox gear ratio selection (shift) is automatic. The driver simply manipulating the accelerator pedal, you can control the speed.③. Semi-automatic gearbox, there are two forms of manipulationa.Kind of common robotic several stalls, the rest of the stalls operated by the driver;b.The other is a preselected type, i.e., the driver in advance with the button selected gear, when the clutch pedal or the accelerator pedal is released, turned an electromagnetic device or hydraulic device to shift.3), by using the method points: manual transmission (MT), the automatic transmission (AT), manual transmission, continuously variable transmission (CVT), double-clutch gearbox and EMT, AMT sequence transmission, etc.Fifth, the transmission worksCar needs transmission, which is by the physical characteristics determined by an automobile engine. First, any engine has a speed limit, speed exceeds this maximum, the engine will explode. Secondly, if read horsepower and its application, you will know when have reached the maximum horsepower and torque, low speed range of the engine. For example, the engine may at 5,500 r / time to produce maximum horsepower. In the vehicle acceleration or deceleration, so that the presence of the transmission gear ratio between the engine and the drive wheels can be changed. By changing the gear ratio, the engine speed can be maintained below the speed limit, and the engine rotation speed zone close to optimum performance. Ideally, the range of the transmission gear ratio change is very large, and thus the engine always operates in the best performance of a single speed. This is a continuously variable transmission (CVT) of the CVT gear ratio range of the concept is virtually no limit. Past, CVT will not work with a four-speed and five-speed transmission contend in cost, size and reliability, so they are not visible in production cars. Currently, the improvement of the design of CVT has been so popular. Toyota Prius is a hybrid car using CVT.A transmission connected to the engine through a clutch. Thus, the same transmission input shaft speed and the engine.Six, synchronizerSince the transmission input shaft and the output shaft to the respective speed of rotation, there will be a "synchronous" change gear problems. Two rotation speed is not the same gear meshing force is bound to happen impact collision damage gear. Therefore, the transmission shift to adopt the old "feet clutch" approach, upshift stay a while in the neutral position, the downshift to refuel door in the neutral position, in order to reduce the speed differential gear. However, this operation is more complex and difficult to grasp accurate. So the designers to create a "synchronizer", by synchronizing allows gear to be engaging to a consistent speed and smooth engagement. There are pressure-type synchronizer, inertial and other types of self-energizing type. Currently on all synchronous transmission inertia synchronizer is used, which is mainly composed of clutch, synchronization lock ring and other components, it is characterized by relying on friction to achieve synchronization. Clutches, synchronized to be joined on the lock ring and ring gears are chamfered (locking angle), the inner cone synchronization lock ring and outer ring gear to be engaged in contact friction cone. Locking cone angle have been made in the design of appropriate choice, conical friction makes meshing gear sets to be quickly synchronized with the ring, but will produce a locking action to prevent the gear meshing before synchronization. When the inner cone synchronization lock ring and outside the ring gear to be engaged cone contact, the role of friction torque gear speed quickly reduce (or increase) to synchronous speed lock ring is equal to both synchronous rotation, gear relative to the genlock loop speed is zero, and thus the moment of inertia also disappeared, then under the force of the push, the clutch unimpeded synchronization lock ring engagement ring, and further engagement with the ring gear to be engaged and to complete shifting process. Transmission and synchronizers implementations from different manufacturers in different ways, but the basic principle is the same. Acting synchronizer is in contact with the canines before, so that the collar and the gear friction contact occurs. Thus, before the canine bonding, you can make the collar and the gear speed to achieve synchronization, as shown: blue cone axis gear engagement ring cone friction between the cone and the collar of the shaft ring and gear synchronization. Slide along the outer collar, so that theengagement gear canines. Automatic transmission fluid coupling function why no increase in torque effect: fluid coupling, only the pump and turbine, turbine oil without changing the flow direction of the guide wheel. When working pump oil to pass turbine wheel, and then through the turbine wheel return pump, oil pump through the turbine wheel return changed the direction of rotation, the flow direction and the opposite direction of rotation of the pump impeller. Engine crankshaft while being rotated, the need to overcome the resistance from the reverse of the turbine oil. Engine power has been weakened. Therefore, only the coupling fluid coupling condition, and never have increased torque conditions.When the car started and low speed high torque is required, and fluid couplings can not meet this need. So early production car with hydraulic coupling has started slow, slow-speed zone speed obvious shortcomings.In order to meet the needs of the car started and needs more torque at low speeds, and Hyundai have all switched to the torque converter. When the torque converter pump wheel fast moving, turbine load and driving resistance by the slower speed limit, between the pump and turbine produces a speed difference. This speed difference exists in the entire variable torque area. This speed difference on the formation of residual energy. That is, since the number of pump rotation is faster than the number of revolutions of the turbine, so that the oil pump to the turbine in turn drives the turbine in addition to, but also the remaining part of the energy, which is the residual energy. The difference between the number of revolutions of the pump impeller and the turbine, the greater the greater the residual energy. This residual fluid coupling in energy become an obstacle to the resistance of crankshaft rotation, and finally converted to heat, wasted. Torque converter is different, the speed difference between the pump and turbine is larger, the better residual energy only when the pump is higher than the number of vortex rotation revolutions to produce residual energy in order to increase the torque. Turbine braking (when the stall point and the starting point) of its maximum torque ratio. Fluid from the pump to turn a turbine, and then by changing the direction of the guide wheel and then return to the pump wheel, between the pump and turbine oil circulation formation. Only the presence of oil in circulation,in order to produce the torque conditions. With the increase in the number of revolutions of the turbine, the torque of the linear decline. After a critical point, the same number of turbines and rotary pumps, oil pump drive rotation of the turbine wheel in addition to, but has no residual energy, oil flow angle is changed to a minimum point, turbine oil returned toward the guide wheel on the back. Because of the one-way clutch is only responsible for the lock, turn left, turn right and not lock, so when the oil shocks on the back of the guide wheel is fixed on the one-way clutches, guide wheels began to rotate, the guide wheel starts spinning the moment is called the critical point . Prior to the critical point after coupling conditions for variable torque conditions, the critical point. Torque converter torque ratio increases with the turbo speed decreases, and decreases the number of revolutions of the turbine increases. I.e., with the running resistance torque increases, according to the running resistance of the automatic stepless variable torque in the low speed region. Torque converter transmission efficiency is increased with the number of revolutions of the turbine increases: only when the pump and turbine speed is close, will have a coupling conditions. Coupling conditions only in the car at high speed only, no coupling conditions at low speeds. As a guide wheel torque-device remains stationary while the torque conditions, the coupling conditions began to rotate. If the guide wheel rotating at the moment when they condition, it shows that the occurrence of a one-way clutch slip faults. When the guide wheel coupling conditions must be rotated, so when you do not spin, there is a one-way clutch catching fault occurred. The automatic transmission has been able to achieve automatic shift work because the driver depresses the throttle position or engine intake manifold vacuum and the traveling speed of the car can command the automatic shift system working, automatic shifting system, the control valves different working conditions will control the transmission gear mechanism and the brake is separated and combined with the release of the brake clutch, and changing the power transmission path of the transmission gear mechanism, transmission gear to achieve transformation.A conventional hydraulic automatic transmission according to changes in traveling speed of the car and the throttle opening degree, the automatic transmissiongear. Its shift control is mechanically converted vehicle speed and the throttle opening signal to control the oil pressure and the oil pressure is applied to both ends of the shift valve, to control the position of the shift valve, thereby changing the shifting actuator elements (clutches and brakes) of the oil. Thus, the work of hydraulic oil into the corresponding actuator, the clutch combination or separation, or release the brake, the control of the planetary gear transmission upshift or downshift to achieve automatic transmission.Electronically controlled hydraulic automatic transmission is added an electronic control system based on Automatic Transmission formed. It does this by monitoring the operating state sensor and switch and automobile engine, the driver's instructions to accept, and the obtained information into an electric signal is input to the electronic control unit. Electronic control unit based on these signals, the shift control valve via the solenoid valve of the hydraulic control apparatus to open or close access shift clutch and brake oil passage, thereby controlling the gear shift timing and transformation, in order to achieve automatic transmission .Torque converter utilizing flow of the liquid, the torque from the engine is transmitted to the rear planetary gear mechanism is increased, at the same time, the hydraulic control apparatus according to the travel required (throttle opening, vehicle speed) to manipulate the planetary gear system to obtain the corresponding The gear ratio and rotational direction, to achieve upshifts, downshifts, forward or backward. The above process, the torque is increased, the throttle opening degree and the vehicle speed signal to the hydraulic control means to manipulate, and change the direction of rotation than the planetary gear transmission mechanism, are performed automatically inside the transmission, the driver does not need to operate, namely, automatic shift (shift). Electronically controlled automatic transmission system: Many modern vehicles equipped with electronically controlled automatic shifting device, can more effectively control the transmission shift, to enhance driving performance, fuel consumption saving effect.专业万文翻译材料译文汽车发动机与驱动轮之间的动力传递装置称为汽车的传动系。

Before reading it, I couldn’t understand why _________ was important. But you showed me . . .4. For the most part, this paper did not teach me anything that wasn’t pretty obvious from listening to the lecture and reading the book. But I was struck by your comment that ―_________.‖ This comment [insert phrase 1, 2, or 3]. Could you expand this point into a thesis for the whole essay?Final Exam (10 percent)The final exam will be an in-class essay exam that will ask you to reflect on the course as a whole and to analyze primary documents.Extra Credit (1 percent each; up to 3 percent)The goal of this assignment is to get you to think about the course in relation to your daily life. For each week of the course, you may write a two-paragraph journal entry. Up to three entries will count toward course credit, but you may only submit one per week. The first paragraph should describe something that happened to you or that you witnessed involving ground transportation. It can be something that just happened, a news story or article you saw, or a story from your past—but make it something you’re willing to share with the class. The second paragraph should explain how that event or item illustrates or complicates the themes of the course.ScheduleWeek 1January 19 Introduction—Cars and ChoicesUnit 1: What is a car? 1878-1940January 21 Lecture: The Invention of the Car.Week 2January 26 Discussion.

保修对服务质量感知有影响吗?来自汽车维修和服务行业的研究Syed Saad Andaleeb;Amiya K Basu摘要检验了汽车维修行业中顾客总体满意度评价与它的五个评价因素——公平感知,同情心,敏感因素,可靠性和方便性五个因素之间的关系。
特别地,本文研究了担保对评价服务质量的影响。
并对之进行了调查。
结果发现,当服务没有担保时,同情心才是重要的。
公平和安全性也是重要的,当有担保时,这两项因素会得到提高。
有没有担保,敏感性和方便性都是重要的,并且不受担保的影响。
关键词:服务质量评估,顾客满意度SERVQUAL最近几年,服务业得到了大幅度的发展,并带动了世界经济。
这种趋势照目前看来,还会继续下去。
提供服务通常要求与大量的顾客进行联系。
市场必须提供非常好的服务才能取得成功,在当今这个以顾客为导向的市场上,竞争越来越激烈,为了存活下去,也必须提供很好的服务。
认识到服务的重要性,学术研究开始调查服务质量的观念是怎么建立和衡量的。
Parasuraman等在1988年识别出了影响服务质量的五个参数:同情心,敏感性,可靠性,方便和实用性,并且建议找出现有服务质量和顾客期望的服务质量之间的差距,并且把两者进行比率化,得出一个比率值。
这个模型就叫做SERVQUAL。
提出了一个服务质量评价的一般措施,这之后被广泛用于服务行业。
在此之后,大量的研究者在此基础上做了许多有用的研究,有的精炼了这个模型(Parasuraman等于1991年),有的在此基础上重新进行构建(Brown等于1993年,Peter 等也于1993年),甚至有的学者引入了新的模型(Carman于1990年)。
总结以上的变化如下:(1)在顾客观察到的服务质量和期望的服务质量之间,需要重点考察感知这个因素;(2)服务质量评估的参量需要进行一些特殊的范围修订;(3)为了解决特别的服务冲突部分,引入了一个新的参量。
本文整合了以上建议,并且聚焦于一个特殊的领域:美国汽车修理和维护行业。

英文资料SuspensionSuspension is the term given to the system of springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels. Suspension systems serve a dual purpose –contributing to the car's roadholding/handling and braking for good active safety and driving pleasure, and keeping vehicle occupants comfortable and reasonably well isolated from road noise, bumps, and vibrations,etc. These goals are generally at odds, so the tuning of suspensions involves finding the right compromise. It is important for the suspension to keep the road wheel in contact with the road surface as much as possible, because all the forces acting on the vehicle do so through the contact patches of the tires. The suspension also protects the vehicle itself and any cargo or luggage from damage and wear. The design of front and rear suspension of a car may be different.Leaf springs have been around since the early Egyptians.Ancient military engineers used leaf springs in the form of bows to power their siege engines, with little success at first. The use of leaf springs in catapults was later refined and made to work years later. Springs were not only made of metal, a sturdy tree branch could be used as a spring, such as with a bow.Horse drawn vehiclesBy the early 19th century most British horse carriages were equipped with springs; wooden springs in the case of light one-horse vehicles to avoid taxation, and steel springs in larger vehicles. These were made of low-carbon steel and usually took the form of multiple layer leaf springs.[1]The British steel springs were not well suited for use on America's rough roads of the time, and could even cause coaches to collapse if cornered too fast. In the 1820s, the Abbot Downing Company of Concord, New Hampshire developed a system whereby the bodies of stagecoaches were supported on leather straps called "thoroughbraces", which gave a swinging motion instead of the jolting up and down of a spring suspension (the stagecoach itself was sometimes called a "thoroughbrace")AutomobilesAutomobiles were initially developed as self-propelled versions of horse drawn vehicles. However, horse drawn vehicles had been designed for relatively slow speeds and their suspension was not well suited to the higher speeds permitted by the internal combustion engine.In 1903 Mors of Germany first fitted an automobile with shock absorbers. In 1920 Leyland used torsion bars in a suspension system. In 1922 independent front suspension was pioneered on the Lancia Lambda and became more common in mass market cars from 1932.[2]Important propertiesSpring rateThe spring rate (or suspension rate) is a component in setting the vehicle's ride height or its location in the suspension stroke. Vehicles which carry heavy loads will often have heavier springs to compensate for the additional weight that would otherwise collapse a vehicle to the bottom of its travel (stroke). Heavier springs are also used in performance applications where the loading conditions experienced are more extreme. Springs that are too hard or too soft cause the suspension to become ineffective because they fail to properly isolate the vehicle from the road. Vehicles that commonly experience suspension loads heavier than normal have heavy or hard springs with a spring rate close to the upper limit for that vehicle's weight. This allows the vehicle to perform properly under a heavy load when control is limited by the inertia of the load. Riding in an empty truck used for carrying loads can be uncomfortable for passengers because of its high spring rate relative to the weight of the vehicle. A race car would also be described as having heavy springs and would also be uncomfortably bumpy. However, even though we say they both have heavy springs, the actual spring rates for a 2000 lb race car and a 10,000 lb truck are very different. A luxury car, taxi, or passenger bus would be described as having soft springs. Vehicles with worn out or damaged springs ride lower to the ground which reduces the overall amount of compression available to the suspension and increases the amount of body lean. Performance vehicles can sometimes have spring rate requirements other than vehicle weight and load.Mathematics of the spring rateSpring rate is a ratio used to measure how resistant a spring is to being compressed or expanded during the spring's deflection. The magnitude of the spring force increases as deflection increases according to Hooke's Law. Briefly, this can be stated aswhereF is the force the spring exertsk is the spring rate of the spring.x is the displacement from equilibrium length i.e. the length at which the spring is neither compressed or stretched.Spring rate is confined to a narrow interval by the weight of the vehicle,load the vehicle will carry, and to a lesser extent by suspension geometry and performance desires.Spring rates typically have units of N/mm (or lbf/in). An example of a linear spring rate is 500 lbf/in. For every inch the spring is compressed, it exerts 500 lbf. Anon-linear spring rate is one for which the relation between the spring's compression and the force exerted cannot be fitted adequately to a linear model. For example, the first inch exerts 500 lbf force, the second inch exerts an additional 550 lbf (for a total of 1050 lbf), the third inch exerts another 600 lbf (for a total of 1650 lbf). In contrast a 500 lbf/in linear spring compressed to 3 inches will only exert 1500 lbf.The spring rate of a coil spring may be calculated by a simple algebraic equation or it may be measured in a spring testing machine. The spring constant k can be calculated as follows:where d is the wire diameter, G is the spring's shear modulus (e.g., about 12,000,000 lbf/in² or 80 GPa for steel), and N is the number of wraps and D is the diameter of the coil.Wheel rateWheel rate is the effective spring rate when measured at the wheel. This is as opposed to simply measuring the spring rate alone.Wheel rate is usually equal to or considerably less than the spring rate. Commonly, springs are mounted on control arms, swing arms or some other pivoting suspension member. Consider the example above where the spring rate was calculated to be500 lbs/inch, if you were to move the wheel 1 inch (without moving the car), the spring more than likely compresses a smaller amount. Lets assume the spring moved 0.75 inches, the lever arm ratio would be 0.75 to 1. The wheel rate is calculated by taking the square of the ratio (0.5625) times the spring rate. Squaring the ratio is because the ratio has two effects on the wheel rate. The ratio applies to both the force and distance traveled.Wheel rate on independent suspension is fairly straight-forward. However, special consideration must be taken with some non-independent suspension designs. Take the case of the straight axle. When viewed from the front or rear, the wheel rate can be measured by the means above. Yet because the wheels are not independent, when viewed from the side under acceleration or braking the pivot point is at infinity (because both wheels have moved) and the spring is directly inline with the wheel contact patch. The result is often that the effective wheel rate under cornering is different from what it is under acceleration and braking. This variation in wheel rate may be minimized by locating the spring as close to the wheel as possible.Roll couple percentageRoll couple percentage is the effective wheel rates, in roll, of each axle of the vehicle just as a ratio of the vehicle's total roll rate. Roll Couple Percentage is critical in accurately balancing the handling of a vehicle. It is commonly adjusted through the use of anti-roll bars, but can also be changed through the use of different springs.A vehicle with a roll couple percentage of 70% will transfer 70% of its sprung weight transfer at the front of the vehicle during cornering. This is also commonly known as "Total Lateral Load Transfer Distribution" or "TLLTD".Weight transferWeight transfer during cornering, acceleration or braking is usually calculated per individual wheel and compared with the static weights for the same wheels.The total amount of weight transfer is only affected by 4 factors: the distance between wheel centers (wheelbase in the case of braking, or track width in the case of cornering) the height of the center of gravity, the mass of the vehicle, and the amount of acceleration experienced.The speed at which weight transfer occurs as well as through which components it transfers is complex and is determined by many factors including but not limited to roll center height, spring and damper rates, anti-roll bar stiffness and the kinematic design of the suspension links.Unsprung weight transferUnsprung weight transfer is calculated based on the weight of the vehicle's components that are not supported by the springs. This includes tires, wheels, brakes, spindles, half the control arm's weight and other components. These components are then (for calculation purposes) assumed to be connected to a vehicle with zero sprung weight. They are then put through the same dynamic loads. The weight transfer for cornering in the front would be equal to the total unsprung front weight times theG-Force times the front unsprung center of gravity height divided by the front track width. The same is true for the rear.Suspension typeDependent suspensions include:∙Satchell link∙Panhard rod∙Watt's linkage∙WOBLink∙Mumford linkage∙Live axle∙Twist beam∙Beam axle∙leaf springs used for location (transverse or longitudinal)The variety of independent systems is greater and includes:∙Swing axle∙Sliding pillar∙MacPherson strut/Chapman strut∙Upper and lower A-arm (double wishbone)∙multi-link suspension∙semi-trailing arm suspension∙swinging arm∙leaf springsArmoured fighting vehicle suspensionMilitary AFVs, including tanks, have specialized suspension requirements. They can weigh more than seventy tons and are required to move at high speed over very rough ground. Their suspension components must be protected from land mines and antitank weapons. Tracked AFVs can have as many as nine road wheels on each side. Many wheeled AFVs have six or eight wheels, to help them ride over rough and soft ground. The earliest tanks of the Great War had fixed suspensions—with no movement whatsoever. This unsatisfactory situation was improved with leaf spring suspensions adopted from agricultural machinery, but even these had very limited travel. Speeds increased due to more powerful engines, and the quality of ride had to be improved. In the 1930s, the Christie suspension was developed, which allowed the use of coil springs inside a vehicle's armoured hull, by redirecting the direction of travel using a bell crank. Horstmann suspension was a variation which used a combination of bell crank and exterior coil springs, in use from the 1930s to the 1990s.By the Second World War the other common type was torsion-bar suspension, getting spring force from twisting bars inside the hull—this had less travel than the Christie type, but was significantly more compact, allowing the installation of larger turret rings and heavier main armament. The torsion-bar suspension, sometimes including shock absorbers, has been the dominant heavy armored vehicle suspension since the Second World War.中文翻译悬吊系统(亦称悬挂系统或悬载系统)是描述一种由弹簧、减震筒和连杆所构成的车用系统,用于连接车辆与其车轮。
Electric carHistoryIn the early 19th century, British 1873, Robert Davidson (Robert Davidsson) made the world first available for practical electric cars. This is better than the germans Gottlieb Daimler (Daimler) and Karl Benz (enterprise Benz) invented gasoline engine 10 years before the car.Davidson invention electrically-powered car is a car truck, 4800mm, wide, long 1800mm use iron, zinc, amalgam of sulfuric acid reacting with a battery. Thereafter, the application from 1880 to begin, the charging and discharging secondary battery. From a digital watch pool development to secondary battery electric vehicle, which for at that time it is a major technological changes, thus electric vehicle demand has been improved a lot. In the 19th century become transportation important products and wrote electric vehicle demand has been improved a lot. In the 19th century become transportation important products, electric car in human wrote the brilliant page communications. In 1890 France and Britain was traveling on the streets of London, when car electric bus technology still very backward, internal combustion engine, fault much shorter trip mileage, maintenance difficulties, and electric vehicles but convenient maintenance.In Europe, the electric car in the 19th century the most stage is. In 1899, French test driving a car door reggina 44kW double motors powered electric automobile rear wheel drive, created 106km records per hour.In 1900, made in the U.S. automobile electric car for 15755 car 1684, steam engine car engine, and car car only 936 vehicles. During the 20th century after the internal combustion engine technology advances, 1908 model T ford motor company was to assembly line production car way to making cars large-scale batch engine, which became popular in the car market competition with electric car with car steam engine exist on technology and economic performance, enable the deficiency of the time be ruthless, and the latter is shrinking out state.Development backgroundThe battery is the primary key electric automobile development, auto power battery difficult in "low cost requirements", "high capacity requirements" and "high security problem of electric carsThe development direction of new energy vehicles, but a variety of one of the hydrogen fuel cell technology not mature, expensive cost, is after twenty years of technology. In January 2007, cars and dr Menahem Anderman power battery expert in the United States senate energy and resources committee testimony nowadays this conclusion. China is also no hydrogen fuel cell reactions required platinum. Although there is no public statement, but reportedly internal decision-making which explicitly state, said China's not suitable for developing hydrogen fuel cell cars, only as a scientific tracking program.Another is mainly USES the methanol, ethanol, etc low-cost liquid fuel for the technology used in great quantities in the corn, food as raw materials, causing global food prices rise, this is also not continuous may be China's technology choice.Still have a kind of clean diesel fuel technology, namely, which is low in sulfur diesel (sulphur 350ppm diesel), lower than the average power to use than steam electric cars Oil machine to 30% energy. But because the domestic diesel quality not beautiful, frequentoil waste from diesel began, in addition is not national policy support diesel.From technical development mature degree and the situation of China, pure electric cars should be promoting the development direction, and hybrid as large network hasn't established charge before the interim technology. Chinese-foreign depot has this year launched blending power and pure electric cars. Byd has demonstrated F3DM two-mode F6DM and F3e pure electric vehicle electric car and. Changan and Canadian green battery manufacturers Electrovaya and cooperation, and to develop new Canadian energy automobile market, indisputably rush rush pure electric version. Gm launched Chevy V olt mainly by electric hybrid, Mini Cooper launched its pure electric version.But hybrid power system complex, costly. Byd F3DM have two sets of dynamic system, which published the dynamic system of cost increased 50 thousand yuan, equivalent to save eight thousand dollars each year than the oil fee to conventional gasoline cars economy. But hybrid Prius, Toyota fuel-efficient limited roughly 10%, 20% fuel economy in Beijing chery A5 - ISG during start-up released Olympic 10% for fuel-efficient parameters. Can calculate an account, assuming that family years driving 2 million kilometers, gasoline car hundred kilometers in oil consumption 7.5 litres, 9450 yuan, hybrid cost saving fuel 20% 1890 yuan, can't offset the increased cost of its prices.The hybrid's advantage is reserved to the traditional gasoline car usage life style, according to the gasoline engine and electric motor mixed degree, charging times and conventional gasoline automobile refueling times without charging. Similar to or Driving distance, is not restricted.Pure electric vehicle tell the tank, engine, transmission, cooling systems and exhaust system, compared with the traditional automobile internal-combustion gasoline engines dynamic system, motors and controller cheaper, and pure electric energy conversion efficiency is higher. Because of electric energy sources - electricity, from large generators, its efficiency is small gasoline engine even hybrid engine could comprehend. Pure electric cars so use cost in decline. F3e pure electric vehicles by byd, 100 kilometers data published in accordance with driving power consumption 12 degrees, the price of electricity 0.5 yuan calculate, hundred kilometers use cost just $6. And the prototype of a car F3 gasoline vehicle hundred kilometers fuel-hungry 7.6 litres, at current prices, costs $6.2 is $46.5. In contrast, the use of traditional electric car cost is one-eighth of petrol.Pure electric cars are the shortcomings of it has changed the traditional lifestyles, automobile use to be recharged every day. Traditional car use custom is generally one to two weeks with a oil. And each time travel also has hundreds of kilometers of distance limit, although a family long-distance travel may year so a few times.Main featuresPure electric cars, relative fuel automobile speaking, the main difference is that four parts, drive motor, speed controller, power battery, vehicle charger. Relative to the gas station is concerned, it consists of the super fast charging station.The pure electric vehicle quality difference depends on the four parts, its value discretion also depends on the quality of these four components. Pure electric vehicles in four parts of use also is directly related to the selection of configuration.Pure electric vehicle speed per hour speed, and start the motor and power depends on the performance and its XuHang mileage depends on the size of the on-board power battery capacity,on-board power battery of weight of chosen power battery as depends on lead-acid, zinc carbon, the lithium battery, which volume, proportion, than power, energy, circle life than are different. It depends on the vehicle manufacturers of the class USES and the positioning and the market definition, market segmentation.Pure electric car driver motor currently has a brush, dc brushless permanent magnet, electromagnetic, the points, more communication stepping motor, etc, they choose also and vehicle configuration, usage, top grade, and relevant. Another drive motor speed control also points of stepless speed regulation and stepless speed regulation, have use electronic speed controller and don't speed controller of the points. Within a wheel motor, electric motor rotor motor, a single motor drive, many motor drive and the combination of motor drive, etc. Motor and speed controller for the selection and configuration of vehicle class and price may also be affected. Public super fast charging station is pure electric car commercial infrastructure, will it make perfect in place to make the former get around it is secured, conversely, with restricted and influenced by the United States, Europe, the electric steam commercial practice fully explain that. We are recognized, but action effectively. In addition, with the battery charging machine the cable connector problem must regulate, form the battery varieties, voltage divides class, speed (power size) factors, otherwise the pure electric vehicle consistent and public super fast charging station not effective cannot docking, the industry at present, a blank sheet of paper to us to explore, but must planning, design, lest futile after molding implementation, lest fatigue life ShangCai.Pure electric vehicle four parts and common battery charging station of the large battery charger, special cables, cable connector and billing and charging system, this is new parts, auto industry will be bricks without straw, didn't they and imperfect didn't do a by restricting is short. At the same time and the related parts manufacturers should becomes industry chain, develop together.National hair and gaott "new energy vehicle management measures and implementation rules announced" has been on November 1,. "Town rural farm (special) electric car general technical conditions" also in brewing process, pure electric car commercial in rural has presentembryonic form, we shouldn't turn a blind eye.The future of international and according with market demand with the pure electric vehicle will keep the following: 1, electric vehicle development manufacturing operation must comply with the national correlative regulations. The vehicle, spare parts performance must meet the technical standards of the state and the specific requirements. 2, electric vehicles is for energy, electric drive by motor drives, no longer generate new pollution, no longer produce inflammable, explosive of the hidden trouble. 3, electric vehicles with battery energy storage environmental pollution, must be. And has durable life, have super fast charging (2-3C above current) function. According to use to identify a vehicle in the XuHang mileage, charging the battery pack, electricity device enough full use common battery charging station super fast charging to extend the XuHang mileage. 4, electric unit should have high efficiency energy conversion. The brake, deceleration energy use and recycling, directly to the comprehensive energy utilization of vehicle efficiency. 5, according to vehicle USES and driving situations, and set top speed shall not exceed the allowable value of traffic laws, so as to reasonably select motor power and configuration battery pack capacity. 6, driving operation, the control is simple and effective and reliable work, to ensure safety. 7, mechanical, electrical device durable less maintenance. The fare is low. Vehicle operation 8, to target market demand as the basis, to provide practical,appropriate, strives to be the models meet technical, economic and practical, function integrated orientations.Future industrialization, business into user of electric vehicle, welcome with the following features: surely the localization, the appropriate exact purpose, appropriate steering area, best performance. Appropriate models and economic configuration. Reliable performance and lunch manipulation. Environmental protection of cells, durable service life, enough power, super fast charging, perfect network, the perfect service. Low costs, minimal maintenance.Working principleBattery - current - power regulator -- motor power transmission system - driver -- the car Main structureElectric cars comprises: electric drive and control system, driving force transmission etc mechanical system, to complete the set task work device etc. Electric drive and control system is the core of electric vehicles, distinguishes the biggest differences in internal combustion engine car. Electric drive and control system by driving motor, power and electric motor speed control equipment etc. Electric cars other devices with internal combustion engine car the same basic. powerPower electric cars drive motor for providing electricity power of electric power, motor converts this energy into mechanical energy, through the transmission device or direct driving wheel and working device. At present, the most widely used electric car on the power supply is lead acid battery, but along with the development of electric vehicle technology, than lead-acid batteries due to low energy, charging a slow speed, short lifetime, gradually replaced by other battery. Growing power mainly sodium sulphur battery, nickel cadmium battery, lithium batteries, fuel cells, flywheel battery, etc, these new power for the application of the development of electric vehicles, opened up broad prospects.Drive motorDriving motor is the role of the electrical energy into mechanical energy power, through the transmission device or direct driving wheel and working device. Now widely used dc electric car, the motor string-excited motor with "soft" mechanical properties, and the operating characteristics of car is very appropriate. But for dc, since there are commutation spark than smaller power, low efficiency, maintenance workload big, with motor technology and motor control technology, certainly will gradually be the development of brushless dc motor (SRM BCDM), motor (SRM) and ac induction motor, such as replaced without shell disc axial magnetic field dc series-excited motor.Motor drive control deviceElectric car batteryMotor drive control device is for electric vehicles such as the variable speed and direction transform setting, its function is to control motor voltage or current, complete motor drive torque and rotation direction control.The early electric vehicle, the speed of dc machines by meet resistance or change motor magnetic coil to realize the circle number. Because of its speed control is a level, and will generate additional energy consumption or use complex structure, now the electric motor already very rarely used. Current electric vehicle is the widespread application thyristor chopping speed, through evenly change motor control motor voltage, current, to realize stepless speed regulatingmotor. In the electronic power technology unceasing development, it also gradually by other power transistor (into the GTO, MOSFET, BTR and IGBT etc) replaced chopper control device. From a technical perspective, along with the development of the application of new drive motor, electric cars for dc motor control shift the application of inverter technology, will become an inevitable trend.In motor control, to transform spin for dc rely on contactor change the armature current direction or a magnetic field to the spin, realize the motor, which makes circuit change complex, reliability reduced. When adopting ac induction motor drive, motor turn of change just transform magnetic field three three-phase can sequence, can make the control circuit is simple. In addition, the use of ac motor and its frequency conversion control technology, make the electric vehicle braking energy recovery control more convenient, control circuit more simple.Transmission deviceElectric vehicle transmission device is the role of motor drive torque to the car's drive shaft, when using electric wheel drive, transmission device most parts of often can be ignored. Because motor can bring load startup, so electric vehicle without the traditional internal combustion engine on the clutch car. Because drive motor cycle through circuit control to achieve transform electric car without internal combustion engine, so the reverse gear transmission. When the motor stepless speed regulation control, electric cars can ignore the traditional automobile transmission. In the use of electric wheel drive, electric cars can omit the traditional internal combustion engine auto transmission system of differential.Driving deviceDriving device is the role of the electric motor drive torque to the ground by wheel into force, driving wheel walk. It with other cars is the same, the composition of the wheel, tires and suspension etc.Steering deviceSteering device is to achieve the automobile turning and setting, by turning machine, steering wheel, steering mechanism and steering wheel etc. Action on the steering wheel, through the steering and control over the steering wheel steering mechanism for deflection certain Angle, and to make the steering. Most electric cars for front wheel steering, industrial used electric forklift often use rear wheel steering. Electric cars are mechanical steering, steering device hydraulic steering and hydraulic steering type etc.Braking deviceElectric vehicle braking device, as with other cars for car parking is set up for slowing or, usually by the brake and its control device component. In electric cars, general and electromagnetic braking device, it can use the motor control circuit implementation of power operation, make motor when deceleration energy conversion paired battery charging current, thereby get recycled.Work deviceWork device is used in industrial electric vehicles for finish the homework specially set of requirements, such as lifting device the electrically operated forklift, the door frame, the goods such as fork. Goods fork of hoisting and mast tilted usually driven by electric motors hydraulic system to accomplish.To sum up, can from technology/economic analysis of electric vehicle technology, based on the present and future of the following conclusions:(1) in the current domestic market price, and on the basis of roughly calculated can provideelectricity technology of lower prices, namely:Power supply: diesel power supply: lead-acid battery power supply: ni-mh battery power supply: lithium-ion batteries: fuel batteries 68:5:3. 92:10.43:40 = 9.84:7:6:15 l: and 0.This from a side, reflects various power-supply modes of the electric car market far distance. Of course, with oil prices up, battery technology advances, these proportional relations will undergo great changes, we will also close attention;(2) the lead-acid battery power cost roughly and diesel engine power supply basic equal, so it is still the main power low-end electric car marketThe battery.

外文文献原稿和译文原稿A New Type Car -- Hybrid Electric VehicleWith skyrocketing fuel prices and changes in weather patterns, many car manufacturers claimed to develop the kind of vehicles that will increase the mileage and reduce the emissions. Hybrid car is a kind of vehicle which can meet above requirements. A hybrid car features a small fuel-efficient gas engine combined with an electric motor that assists the engine.The reasons of building such a complicated machine are twofold: to reduce tailpipe emissions and to improve mileage. Firstly, hybrid cars are good for the environment. They can reduce smog by 90 percent and they use far less gasoline than conventional cars. Meanwhile, hybrid cars burn less gasoline per mile, so they release fewer greenhouse gases. Secondly, hybrid cars are economical. Hybrid cars, which run on gas and electricity, can get up to 55 to 60 miles per gallon in city driving, while a typical SUV might use three times as much gas for the same distance! There are three reasons can mainly account for that: 1) Hybrid engines are much smaller than those on conventional cars. A hybrid car engine is to accommodate the 99% of driving time when a car is not going up hills or accelerating quickly. When extra acceleration power is needed, it relies on the battery to provide additional force. 2) Hybrid gasoline engine can shut off when the car is stopped and run off their electric motor and battery.3) Hybrid cars often recover braking energy. Electric motors could take the lost kinetic energy in braking and use it to charge the battery. Furthermore, hybrids are better than all-electric cars because hybrid car batteries recharge as you drive so there is no need to plug in. Most electric cars need to be recharged every 50-100miles. Also, most electric cars cannot go faster than 50-60 mph, while hybrids can.Hybrid cars bridge the gap between electric and gasoline-powered cars by traveling further and driving faster and hybrid gas-electric cars are proving to be a feasible alternative at a time of high gas prices. So, in my opinion, hybrid cars will have a bright future.How Does Hybrid Electric Vehicle Work?You probably own a gasoline or diesel-engine car. You may have heard of electric vehicles too. A hybrid vehicle or hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a combination of both. Hybrid vehicles utilize two or more sources of energy for propulsion. In the case of HEVs, a combustion engine and an electric motor are used.How it works depends on the type of drive train it has. A hybrid vehicle can either have a parallel or series or parallel-series drive train.Parallel HybridThe parallel hybrid car has a gas tank, a combustion engine, transmission,electric motor, and batteries.A parallel hybrid is designed to run directly from either the combustion engine or the electric motor. It can run using both the engine and the motor. As a conventional vehicle, the parallel hybrid draws its power from the combustion engine which will then drive the transmission that turns the wheels. If it is using the electric motor, the car draws its power from the batteries. The energy from the batteries will then power the electric motor that drives the transmission and turns the wheel.Both the combustion engine and the electric motor are used at the same time during quick acceleration, on steep ascend, or when either the engine or the motor needs additional boost.Since the engine is directly connected to the wheels in a parallel drive train, it eliminates the inefficiency of converting mechanical energy into electrical energy and back. This makes a very effective vehicle to drive on the highway.Series HybridThe series hybrid car also has a gas tank, a combustion engine, transmission, electric motor, and batteries with the addition of the generator. The generator can be the electric motor or it can be another separate component.The series configuration is the simplest among the 3. The engine is not connected to the transmission rather it is connected to the electric motor. This means that the transmission can be driven only by the electric motor which draws its energy from the battery pack, the engine or the generator.A hybrid car with a series drive train is more suited for city driving conditions since the engine will not be subjected to the varying speed demands (stop, go, and idle) that contributes to fuel consumption.Series-Parallel HybridThe series-parallel configuration solves the individual problems of the parallel and series hybrid. By combining the 2 designs, the transmission can be directly connected to the engine or can be separated for optimum fuel consumption. The Toyota Prius and the Ford Escape Hybrid use this technology.Honda’s hybridFor those of you who have toyed with the idea of buying a hybrid but were discouraged by the price, you are not alone. In fact, despite the growing concern for the environment, not to mention the skyrocketing price of gas, hybrid cars still only represent a small percentage of global car sales, and a major reason for this is the cost.Hybrids are considered the wave of the future because they not only reduce emissions, addressing the issue of climate change, but they get great gas mileage, an important consideration with the current price of oil. It should be noted that hybrids can also improve the power of the engine, which compromises any advantages in fuel efficiency and emissions. Whatever the application, however, the technology makes the cars more expensive.Because of this, they are the vehicle of choice for only a small niche of people who can afford them, and they currently enjoy a special status amongst the image conscious celebrity-set. For most average consumers, however, they are not an option.That may soon change.Honda Motor Corporation, one of the largest car manufacturers in the world and a leader in fuel efficient technology, has unveiled it’s plan to introduce a low-cost hybrid by 2009. If they can pull it off, they hope to make the hybrid a more mainstream car that will be more appealing to the general public, with the ultimate goal of achieving greater sales and broader appeal than their current incarnation.This, of course, is making Detroit nervous, and may signal a need for American car makers to start making greener and more fuel efficient vehicles, something they could afford to ignore in the past because hybrid cars weren’t worth their attention (due to such a small market share) while gas-guzzling SUVs have such high profit margins.Honda, meanwhile, has had to confront a growing need to compete with Toyota, which has not only grown to be the world’s largest automaker, but makes the car that has become synonymous with the hybrid movement, the Prius. Honda is therefore faced with the seemingly insurmountable task of challenging Toyota’s dominance in the market.Concurrently, Toyota is racing to lower production costs on the Prius, as well, which would hopefully result in a lower cost to the consumer. All eyes are on a potentially favorable car buyers market in 2009.In the meantime, with even adamant global warming naysayers warming up (no pun intended) to the possibilities of an ecological disaster on the horizon, maybe it’s time that we got over our need to drive huge SUVs and start moderating our fuel consumption.Then again, as gas prices hovering around $4.00 and with no ceiling in sight, we may have little choice in the matter.Engine Operating PrinciplesMost automobile dngines are internal combustion, reciprocating 4-stroke gasoline engines, but other types have been used, including the diesel, the rotary ( Wankel ) , the 2-srtoke, and stratified charge.Reciprocating means up and down or banck and forth, It is the up and down action of a piston in the cylinder blick, or engine block. The blick is an iron or aluminum casting that contains engine cylinders and passges called water jackets for coolant circulation. The top of the block is covered with the cylinder head. Which forms the combustion chanber. The bottom of the block is covered with an oil pan or oil sump.Power is produced by the linear motion of a piston in a cylinder. However, this linear motion must be changed into rotary motion to turn the wheels of cars of trucks. The piston is attached to the top of a connecting rod by a pin, called a piston pin or wrist pin. The bottom of the connecting rod is attached to the crankshaft. The connecting rod transmits the up-and-down motion of the piston to the crankshaft, which changes it into rotary motion.The connecting rod is mounted on the crankshaft with large beaings called rodbearings. Similar bearings, called main bearings, are used to mount the crankshaft in the block. Shown in Fig. 1-1The diameter of the cylinder is called the engine bore. Displacement and compression ratio are two frequently used engine specifications. Displacement indicates engine size, and compression ratio compares the total cylinder volume to compression chamber volume.The term stroke is used to describe the movement of the iston within the cylinder, as well as the distance of piston travel. Depending on the type of engine the operating cycle may require either two or four strokes to complete. The 4-stroke engine is also called Otto cycle engine, in honor of the German engineer, Dr. Nikolaus Otto, who first applied the principle in 1876. In the 4-stroke engine, four strokes of the piston in the cylinder are required to complete one full operating cycle. Each stroke is named after the action it performs intake, compression, power, and exhaust in that order, shown in Fig1-2.1、Intake strokeAs the piston moves down, the vaporized mixture of fuel and air enters the cylinder through open intake valve. To obtain the maximum filling of the cylinder the intake valve opens about 10°before t.b.c., giving 20°overlap. The inlet valve remains open until some 50°after b.d.c. to take advantage of incoming mixture.2、 Compression strokeThe piston turns up, the intake valve closes, the mixture is compressed within the combustion chamber, while the pressure rise to about 1Mpa, depending on various factors including the compression ratio, throttle opening and engine speed. Near the top of the stroke the mixture is ignited by a spark which bridges the gap of the spark plug.3、 Power strokeThe expanding gases of combustion produces a rise in pressure of the gas to some 3.5Mpa, and the piston is forced down in the cylinder. The exhaust valve opens near the bottom of the stroke.4、Exhust strokeThe piston moves back up with the exhaust valve open some 50°before b.d.d., allowing the pressure within the cylinder to fall and to reduce ‘back’pressure on the piston during the exhaust stroke, and the burned gases are pushed out to prepare for the next intake stroke.The intake valve usually opens just before the exhaust stroke. This 4-stroke cycle is continuously repeared in every as long as the engineremains running.A 2-stroke engine also goes through four actions to complete one operating cycle.However, the intake and the compression actions are combined in one seroke, and the power and exhaust actions are combined in the other stroke. The term2-stroke cycle or 2-stroke is preferred to the term 2-cycle, which is really not accurate.In automobile engines, all pistons are attached to a single crankshaft. The more cylinders an engine has, the more power strokes produced for cach revolution. This means that an 8-cylinder engine runs more smoothly bdcause the power atrokes arecloser together in time and in degrees of engine rotation.The cylinders of multi-cylinder automotive engines arranged in one of three ways. 1、Inline engines use a single block of cylinder.Most 4-cylinder and any 6-cylinder engines are of this design. The cylinders do not have to be vertical. They can be inclined either side.2、V-type engines use two equal bands of cylinders, usually inclined 60degrees or 90degrees from the cach other. Most V-type engines have 6 or 8 cylinders, although V-4 and V-12 engines have been built.3、Horizontally opposed or pancake engines have two equal banks of cylinders 180degreeas apart. These space saving engine designs are often air-cooled, and are found in the Chevrolet Carvair, Porsches, Subaus, and V olkswagens. Subaus design is liquid cooled.Late-model V olkswagen vans use a liquid-cooled version of the air cooled VWhorizontally opposed engine.译文新型汽车----混合动力汽车在油价飞涨的今天,汽车制造商被要求发展一种排放低,行驶里程长的汽车。
外文文献(一)外文原文Front axle general is in the front of the bus, also known as steering axle or drive bridge. Automobile front axle is the last important assemblies, including the steering knuckle kingpin, steering, front beam and other components. Front axle through the suspension and frame, used to support the ground and the frame between the vertical load, but also bear the braking force and lateral force and the force of torque, and ensure that the steering rotation right movement. The axle is connected with the frame through the suspension, support most of the weight of vehicle, and wheel traction or braking force, as well as the lateral force after suspension to frame. In the car used in the steering bridge, the stress condition is more complex, so it should have enough strength. In order to ensure the wheel turns to the correct positioning of angle, make manipulation of light and reduce tire wear, steering bridge should have enough stiffness. In addition, should also try to reduce the weight of the bridge. In short, because of the automobile in the running process of the front axle, the abominable working environment, complicated working condition, the load is alternating load, thus the parts easy to fatigue cracking and even rupture phenomenon. This requires that the structural design must have enough strength, stiffness and resistance to fatigue failure of the ability.The front axle is the main load-bearing parts: the front axle, my company has a tubular and forging type two structural forms, but mainly to forging type mainly.

Need note here is: U type bolt passes through the front mounting holes need matter beneath the back nut in, often can appear with the front axle sleeve back band interference problem. Why can appear such problem? Design is a problem, because the front dorsal ribs affects front axle load, therefore must have a certain size requirements, and if both before and after the U bolt distance design is too small, not enough gap assembly will appear above problem. Two technical problems, technical problems in two cases. The first is the front dorsal rib symmetry is not good or mounting hole symmetrical degree andeasy to cause the problem; the second is that some host plant in order to avoid the vulnerable, without taking into account the reality of the product and blind to the sleeve outer diameter.

So people to the safe operation of the automobile is more and more attention, so the automobile axle design also raised taller requirement. As a result of foreign automobile development starts early, technical inputs, thus technically far ahead of China market, but also there are many insufficient places, still need to improve, technology also needs a breakthrough. Steam car industry as our focus on the development of pillar industries, its prospect is very wide. At present, auto parts production has certain potential, but most enterprises in product research, development and other aspects of the defect, especially lack of less product independent development capacity, can not adapt to the system support, delivery of modules, to participate in international division of labor. Because of this, in the future development, Chinese enterprises should actively absorb the international advanced automotive technology, and constantly improve the self body lines, such as braking systems, steering systems, expand the industry of product variety, improve the integral technology level, increase the strong technological development capability, urges the enterprise faster development, adapt to the trend of globalization of automobile industry.100 years ago, the car was just beginning, the steering is modelled on the carriageand bicycle steering mode, using a joystick or a handle to make the front wheel deflection, thus realizes the steering. Due to the manipulation of effort and unreliable, so often fatal accident. The first horseless pull four wheel vehicle comes out, have a front axle and a front wheel assembly, the assembly being mounted on the crankshaft, front axle center around a point of rotation, using a rod connecting the front axle, focus, through the floor and extends upward, the wheel is fastened on the rod end, in order to manipulate the car. This device in a vehicle speed not exceeding the speed, or very good, but when the vehicle speed is increased, the driver asks to improve steering accuracy, in order to reduce tire wear, prolong the service life of tyre. In 1817, the Germans Lincoln Spang Jay presented similar to the modern automobile, the front wheel with knuckle and beam connection, he developed a kind of automobile front wheel on the main shaft to allow independent rotary structure, which is connected with the steering wheel, steering knuckle and a rotatable pin and front axle, thereby the invention of modern steering trapezoidal mechanism.Since China's reform and opening up, execute in the country the household contract responsibility system reform, make the rural economy is all-time and active. Rural freight traffic and population flow increased dramatically, speeding up the transportation mechanization into rural classicsEconomic development urgent need, it is also the needs of the market that has Chinese distinguishing feature of transport machinery -- emerge as the times require small truck. It has solved the countryside transportation need, fill the villages, townships, towns and urban transportation network is blank, active rural economics, for the surplus rural labor force to find a way out, so that tens of thousands of farmers to be on comparatively well-off road.Small truck manufacturing process is simple, cheap, purchase a car farmers generally in a year or so we can recover the cost. In addition, the highway construction has promoted the rapid development of small truck, the98% villages are on the road, so that the small truck with play.We want to develop a small truck to optimize the design, to make new products, diversification of varieties to meet a variety of needs. In a small truck design, how the complex road conditions to ensure the smooth running of the car quickly, is a serious problem. Then there is the subject of research and design.Automobile front axle driving system important constituent, it is connected with the frame through the suspension, steering wheel mounted at both ends, used to support frame and transmission wheel and frame between a variety of force, and drives the steering knuckle swing to realize vehicle steering. Using the hinge device causes the wheel to deflect a certain angle, so as to realize the steering of a vehicle axle called steering bridge, general vehicle used for steering bridge bridge, the front for steering bridge. Steering bridge not only can make the left and right wheels arranged at the front end to deflect a certain angle to realize the steering, should also be able to bear vertical load and by the road, the brake force is exerted on the longitudinal force and lateral force and the force formed by the moment. Therefore, the steering bridge must have sufficient strength and rigidity. Wheel steering process of internal friction between the pieces should be as small as possible, and to keep the vehicle steering light and the direction stability.Steering axle is generally composed of front axle, steering knuckle, steering knuckle arm, steering knuckle pin and the hub.Front axle general is in the front of the bus, also known as steering axle or drive bridge. The suspension is connected with the frame, used to support the ground and the frame between the vertical load, but also bear the braking force and lateral force and the force moment, and ensure that the steering rotation right movement. In the car used in the steering bridge, stress is more complex, so it should have enough strength. In order to ensure the correct positioning of the steering wheel angle, make the manipulation of light and reduce tire wear, steering bridge should have enough stiffness. In addition, should also try to reduce the weight of the bridge.Front axle under the front of the car weight, the car forward thrust from the frame to the wheel, and the steering device on parts make joint type connection, the implementation of the automobile steering. The cross-country vehicle front axle but also bear and rear axle the same driving task. General cargo vehicle with front engine rear drive arrangement, the front for steering bridge.Automobile front axle design should ensure adequate design strength, to ensure reliable bear acting force between wheel and frame; ensure the adequate rigidity, so that the wheel positioning parameters constant; ensure that the steering wheel have thecorrect localization angle, so that the steering wheel movement stability, convenient operation and reduce the tire friction; steering bridge quality as small as possible, in order to reduce non spring quality, improve the ride comfort of vehicles.译文前桥一般位于汽车的前部,也称转向桥或从动桥。

原文:Car Engine LubricationThe importance of lubrication in the engine of a car cannot be overemphasized. Without proper lubrication, the moving parts of anengine would grind agnst each other, causing unnecessary wear and tearon the engine and ultimately leading to its premature flure.Lubrication is accomplished by an oil pump that circulates oil throughout the engine. The oil serves as a lubricant between the moving parts, reducing friction and preventing metal-to-metal contact. The oil also acts as a cooling agent, carrying away heat generated by the engine.Oil filters are used to remove impurities from the oil, which can cause damage to the engine if not removed. Over time, the oil in an engine becomes contaminated and loses its viscosity, or thickness. It is important to regularly change the oil in a car to ensure that it continues to provide proper lubrication and cooling.Synthetic oils are becoming increasingly popular for use in car engines. Synthetic oils are engineered to provide superior lubrication and are more resistant to breaking down and losing their viscosity overtime. They also provide better protection agnst wear and tear and can improve fuel efficiency.Overall, proper lubrication is essential for the longevity and performance of a car engine. Regularly changing the oil and using high-quality synthetic oils can help to ensure that a car engine remns in top condition.译文:汽车发动机润滑汽车发动机的润滑问题不可忽视。

英文翻译Motor Cars1. How the Engine WorksAn engine that converts heat energy into mechanical energy is called a heat engine ,and the car engine is one type of heat engine. It derives heat from the burning or 'combustion', of a fuel and converts this heat into useful work for driving the car.The fuel used in the vast majority of car engines is petrol, which is one of the many products obtained from crude oil found in the earth. Petrol, when mixed with the right amount of air, will burn when a flame or spark is applied to it.In the car engine, air mixed with petrol is taken into a confined space and compressed. The mixture is then ignited and it burns. In burning it heats the air, which expands, and the force of expansion is then converted into a rotary movement to drive the wheels of the car.To be able to use this energy effectively we have to control the burning or combustion process and the force of expansion. Firstly, we need a tube, or 'cylinder', closed at one end, in which to compress and burn the petrol and air mixture. Then we need a piston which can slide freely in the cylinder, and which can be driven outwards by theforce of expansion. To convert the outward movement of the piston into a rotary movement we must join it by a connecting rods to a crankshaft. We need one passage for the entry of the mixture into the cylinder and another to let out the used gases. To control the entry of the mixture and the exhaust of the gases we need valves, and these are called the inlet and exhaust valves. Finally, we need some means of igniting the mixture in the top of the cylinder, the part called the combustion chamber; and for this we use a sparking plug.By timing the opening and closing of the valves and by timing the arrival of the spark we can control the whole sequence of events and make the piston move in and out over and over again.THE CYLINDERSMotor-car engines may have four, six, or eight cylinders. Look at figure 1.These cylinders are usually mounted in a cylinder block on top of the engine. Beneath the cylinder block is the crankcase, which contains two shafts, the crankshaft and the camshaft. As you have read, the crankshaft is revolved by the outward movement ofthe pistons in the cylinders. This rotary movement of the crankshaft transmits the power developed by the engine through the gearbox to the driving wheels and sets the car in motion.When the crankshaft rotates it also causes the rotation of the camshaft, which lies alongside it in the crankcase. As the camshaft rotates, it pushes up rods alongside each cylinder to open and shut the valves at the top of the cylinder.There are two valves to each cylinder. The inlet valve lets air and petrol into the combustion chamber of the cylinder when it is opened. When the exhaust valve is opened the gases formed after the combustion in the chamber are allowed to escape . These gases are led away from the car through an exhaust pipe.Let us examine the action of one of the cylinders in more detail. Look at figure 2.In (a) the piston is near the top of the cylinder with the inlet valve open and the exhaust valve closed, If the crankshaft is turned, either by hand or by the starter motor ,the piston is drawn down by the connecting rod and a charge of petrol-air mixture rushes in. When the piston reaches the bottom of its stroke the inlet valve is closed by the action of a spring. This stroke is called the induction stroke.In (b) both valves are closed and the crankshaft forces the piston up to compress the mixture in the top of the cylinder. This, then, is called the 'compression' stroke. Towards the end of the compression stroke a spark from the sparking plug causes the mixture to ignite.In (c) we see that the heat of combustion has caused a rapid rise in pressure in the combustion chamber and this has forced the piston down. Through the connecting rod the piston causes the crankshaft to continue to rotate. This stroke is called the'expansion' or 'power' stroke, and we can say now that the engine has 'fired'. At the end ofthis stroke, as the crankshaft rotates, causing the camshaft alongside it to continue to rotate, one of the cams on the camshaft pushes up the rod, which causes the exhaust valve to open, allowing the exhaust gases to escape.In (d) we see the fourth and final stroke, the 'exhaust' stroke. The exhaust valve has been forced open by the rotation of the camshaft, and the crankshaft, continuing to rotate, drives the piston back up the cylinder, forcing out the exhaust gases. At the end of this stroke the exhaust valve is closed by the action of a spring, and the camshaft, continuing to rotate, pushes up a second rod to force the inlet valve open. Now the cylinder will receive another charge of petrol-air mixture, and the sequence of four strokes, 'induction', 'compression', 'expansion' or 'power', and 'exhaust', will startagain.Because there is a four-stroke sequence, or 'cycle', in this type of internal combustion engine it is called a four-stroke engine. There are also two一stroke engines used, for example, for motor scooters, and for some motor cycles.Let us think of a car with four cylinders. Remember that it is only on the expansion stroke that power is transmitted to make the crankshaft rotate. Let us number the cylinders, 1,2,3,4. They may transmit power in this order. 1,2,4,3. This means that when number 1 cylinder is on the expansion stroke, number 2 is on the compression stroke, number 4 is on the induction stroke, and number 3 cylinder is on the exhaust stroke. The four pistons, moving up and down inside their cylinders in this order, push down rods connected to the crankshaft at different times and at different points along its shaft. This keeps the crankshaft revolving and the crankshaft, when the gears are engaged, keeps the car moving.2. The Fuel and Ignition SystemsThe fuel system includes a fuel tank, a fuel pump, and a carburetor.The fuel pump may be operated either mechanically from the engine camshaft or electrically. Its function is to pump petrol from the petrol tank and deliver it to the carburetor. It contains a fine filler to exclude particles of dust or dirt which may have found their way into the tank.The carburetor is mounted on the inlet pipe, or inlet 'manifold', which leads to the inlet valves of each cylinder. Its function is to 'carburet', or mix, the required amounts of petrol and air for combustion in the cylinders. It regulates automatically the proportions of petrol and air and also allows the driver to control the rate of delivery of the mixture, and so vary the speed of the engine.See figure 3. This is a simple type of carburetor. It makes use of a fuel reservoir or "float chamber" to which petrol is pumped by the petrol pump. The level of the petrol in. the chamber is kept constant by the action of a float which, as it rises with the petrol, closes a needle valve when the correct level is reached. The petrol from the float chamber flows to a small jet situated in a narrow tube called the choke tube. When the engine is running, i.e. when the pistons are moving up and down in the cylinders, air is drawn in and passes through the choke tube. Here it mixes with the petrol and passes out into the inlet manifold of the engine. The amount of mixture allowed to pass is controlled by a butterfly valve, or ’throttle', situated in the carburetor outlet. This valve is operated by the accelerator pedal. An air cleaner may be connected to the air inlet to remove dust from the air and prevent it getting into thecylinders and down into the engine lubricating oil, where it can cause increased engine wear.The proportion of air and petrol required at varying engine speeds is controlled automatically. When starting a cold engine a much richer mixture, one with a higher proportion of petrol to air, is required. This is obtained by restricting the amount of air entering the carburetor. In most cars the driver does this by pulling out a knob called the choke and this partly closes the tube carrying air to the cylinders. The driver must remember to push the choke in again as soon as possible after starting to avoid damage to the engine and waste of fuel.THE IGNITION SYSTEMThe function of the ignition system is to provide the spark in the combustion chamber to ignite the mixture of petrol and air at the right instant. The system nor many comprises a coil, a distributor, and sparking plugs.The coil produces the high-voltage impulse required to make the spark at the sparking plugs. It really consists of two coils of insulated wire wound one around the other so that the number of turns in the inner, 'secondary', coil is much greater than that in the outer, 'primary', coil.A low voltage is supplied to the primary coil and suddenly interrupted. At that moment an impulse at very much higher voltage is induced in the secondary coil.V oltages of 6 or 12 volts supplied to the primary, low一tension, coil result in voltages of 10,000 volts or more being obtained from the secondary, high tension, coil. When the car is started the low-tension supply is provided by the car's battery.Remember that the low-tension supply must be broken suddenly to produce the high-tension supply from the secondary coil. This is done in an instrument called the distributor. The distributor is placed between the coil and the sparking plugs.Inside the distributor are contact points. The contact between them is broken by a revolving cam, which forces them apart. Then they are forced together again by a spring pressing against the arm holding one contact. It is when the contact points are forced apart that the low一tension supply, going through a lead to the coil, is suddenly interrupted.A second lead, going from the coil back to the distributor, conveys the high-tension (H.T.) supply to the distributor head. From there other leads distribute the H. T. supply to each of the sparking plugs in turn.You will remember that each cylinder of the car has a sparking plug. The metal part of the sparking plug is screwed into the combustion chamber of the cylinder. Theplug contains two electrodes with a small gap between them. When the plug receives a high-tension impulse from the distributor a spark is caused as the impulse jumps the gap between the two electrodes. This spark ignites the petrol-air mixture in the combustion chamber.3. Cooling and Lubricating the EngineThe combustion of the mixture in the engine naturally makes a great deal of heat and the engine must not be allowed to become overheated. The function of the cooling system is to control this heat.The engine may be either water or air cooled, but the vast majority is water cooled. Water in the water jacket surrounding the cylinders picks up the surplus heat from the engine and the heated water rises. It then circulates through the radiator, where it is cooled by the passage of air past the radiator tubes, and returns to the bottom of the water jacket. A fan, which is driven from the engine crankshaft, assists cooling by increasing the draught through the radiator at low speeds. A pump may be used to help in circulating the water.The engine must also be prevented from running too cool and therefore the temperature of the water is normally controlled within certain limits by the action of a device known as a thermostat. This has the effect of varying the circulation of the water so that, for instance, when the engine is first started less water is allowed to circulate and the engine warms up quickly.The cooling system can, of course, freeze up in very cold weather, and this can cause considerable damage. For this reason it is advisable to add good antifreeze solution, on that can be left in throughout the summer, which will prevent freezing in winter and protect the system from corrosion all the year round.THE LUBRICATION SYSTEMLubrication is necessary for two main reasons to reduce friction and wear in the engine, and to help carry away was to heat from the bearings, in which the crankshaft and camshaft revolve inside the crankcase, from the pistons, and from the other working parts. In addition, it helps the piston rings to seal in the combustion gases, to prevent them escaping down into the cylinders. (These piston rings are rings fitted into grooves around the top of each piston.)The majority of engines have what is known as a 'force feed', or pressure, lubricating system. The bottom of the crankcase is enclosed by a sheet-metal pan, or 'sump'. This holds the engine lubricating oil and has a drain plug through which used oil may be drained off. A pump draws oil from the sump and pumps it through a filterand then through channels, called 'oil ways', to the bearings of the crankshaft and camshaft, and also to the valve gear. At the same time, oil flowing from the bearings forms an oil mist in the crankcase and this mist lubricates the cylinder walls.A warning light or oil gauge, controlled by the pressure of the oil in the system, is usually provided so that the driver will know when the system is not functioning and the oil is not circulating properly. If the system is not functioning properly the working parts may seize up and cause serious damage to the car engine. It is, therefore, essential for the driver to stop the engine as soon as he sees his warning light come on.4. The BrakesThe brakes function by absorbing in friction the energy possessed by the moving car. In so doing they convert the energy into heat.There are two types of brakes, the drum brake and the disc brake. Either or both types may be fitted, but where both types are used it is usual for the disc brakes to be fitted to the front wheels.DRUM BRAKESThe drum brake consists of a pair of semicircular brake shoes mounted on a fixed back plate and situated inside a drum. This drum is fixed to the road wheel and rotates with it. One end of each shoe is on a pivot and a spring holds the other end in contact with the piston of a hydraulic cylinder. (In front brakes it is usual to use two hydraulic cylinders in order to equalize the pressures exerted by the shoes. See figure 4.) Each shoe is faced with material, known as brake lining, which produces high, frictional resistance.The hydraulic system comprises a master cylinder and the slave cylinders, which are the cylinders on the road wheels. The slave cylinders are connected to the master cylinder by tubing and the whole system is filled with hydraulic fluid. A piston in the master cylinder is connected to the brake pedal, so that when the driver depresses. The pedal the fluid is forced out to each slave cylinder and operates their pistons. The fluid pushes the pistons out of their cylinders. They, in turn, push against the inner ends of the brake shoes and force them against the brake drums in each wheel. We say that the brakes are on. This friction of the shoes against the drums, which are fixed to the road wheels, slows down or stops the car. As the brake pedal is allowed to come up, the hydraulic fluid returns to its original position, the pistons retract, and a spring attached to each brake shoe returns it also to its original position, free of the brake drum. Now we say that the brakes are off.The brakes may also be operated by mechanical linkages from the foot pedal and handbrake lever. Common practice is to operate both from and rear brakes hydraulically with a secondary mechanical system operating the rear brakes only from the hand lever. One of the great advantages of hydraulic operation is that the system is self-balancing, which means that the same pressure is automatically produced at all four brakes, whereas mechanical linkages have to be very carefully adjusted for balance. Of course, if more pressure is put on one of the brakes than on the others there-is a danger that the car will skid.The mechanical linkage operating on the rear brakes is a system of rods or cables connecting the handbrake lever to the brake-shoe mechanisms, which work entirely Independently of the hydraulic system.Drum brakes are prone to a reduction in the braking effort, known as 'fade', caused by the overheating of the linings and the drum. Fade can affect all or only some of the brakes at a time, but it is not permanent, and full efficiency returns as soon as the brakes have cooled down. However, fading is unlikely to occur except after the brakes have been used repeatedly in slowing the car from a high speed or after braking continuously down a steep hill. Descending such a hill, it would have been preferable to use engine braking by changing down into a lower gear. Drum brakes can be made less prone to fade by improving the cooling arrangements, by arranging for more air to be deflected over them, for example.DISC BRAKESThe disc brake consists of a steel disc with friction pads operated by slave hydraulic cylinders. The steel disc is attached to the road wheel and rotates with it. Part of this steel disc is enclosed in a caliper. (See figure 5) This caliper contains two friction pads, one on each side of the disc, and two hydraulic cylinders, one outside each pad. The pads are normally held apart by a spring, but when the driver depresses the brake pedal, pistons from the hydraulic cylinders force the pads against the sides of the disc. Because the disc is not enclosed all the way round, the heat generated when the brakes are applied is dissipated very much more quickly than it is from brake shoes which are entirely enclosed inside a drum. This means that disc brakes are less prone to fade than drum brakes.汽车1. 发动机如何工作一个把热能源转换成机械的能源的发动机叫做一个热发动机,而且汽车发动机是热发动机的一个类型。
外文原文Automobile chassisChassis include the clutch , the transmission, the drive shaft, the final drive assembly, the front suspension, the rear suspension, the steering system ,the brake system, the wheels and tires.1.ClutchThe engine produces the power to drive the vehicle . The drive line or drive train transfer the power of the engine to the wheels . The drive train consists of the parts from the back of the flywheel to the wheels . These parts include the clutch , the transmission ,the drive shaft ,and the final drive assembly .The clutch which includes the flywheel ,clutch disc , pressure plate , springs , pressure plate cover and the linkage necessary to operate the clutch is a rotating mechanism between the engine and the transmission . It operates through friction which comes from contact between the parts . That is the reason why the clutch is called a friction mechanism . After engagement, the clutch must continue to transmit all engine torque to transmission depending on the friction without slippage . The clutch is also used to disengage the engine from the drive train whenever the gears in the transmission are being shifted from gear ratio to another .To start the engine or shift the gears , the driver has to depress the clutch pedal with the purpose of disengagement the transmission from the engine . At that time , the driven members connected to the transmission input shaft are either stationary or rotating at a speed that is slower of faster than the driving members connected to engine crankshaft . There is no spring pressure on the clutch assembly parts . So there is no friction between the driving members and driven members . As the driver lets loose the clutch pedal , spring pressure increase on the clutch parts . Friction between the parts also increases . The pressure exerted by the springs on the driven members is controlled by the driver through the clutch pedal and linkage . The positive engagement of the driving and driven members is made possible the friction between the surfaces of the members . When full spring pressure is applied , the speed of the driving and driven members should be the same . At the moment , the clutch must act as a coupling device and transmit all engine power to the transmission , without slipping .However , the transmission should be engaged to the engine gradually in order to operate the car smoothly and minimize torsional shock on the drive train because an engine at idle just develop little power . Otherwise , the driving members are connected with the driven members too quickly and the engine would be stalled .The flywheel is a major part of the clutch . The flywheel mounts to the engine’s crankshaft and transmits engine torque to the clutch assembly . The flywheel , when coupled with the clutch disc and pressure plate makes and breaks the flow of power the engine to the transmission .The flywheel provides a mounting location for the clutch assembly as well . When the clutch is applied , the flywheel transfers engine torque to the clutch disc . Because of its weight , the flywheel helps to smooth engine operation . The flywheel also has a large ring gear at its outer edge , which engages with a pinion gear on the starter motor during engine cranking .The clutch disc fits between the flywheel and the pressure plate . The clutch disc has a splined hub that fits over splines on the transmission input shaft . A splined hub has grooves that match splines on the shaft . These splines fit in the grooves . Thus , the two parts held together . However , back – and – forth movement of the disc on the shaft is possible . Attached to the input shaft , the disc turns at the speed of the shaft .The clutch pressure plate is generally made of cast iron . It is round and about the same diameter as the clutch disc . One side of the pressure plate is machined smooth . This side will press the clutch disc facing are against the flywheel . The outer side has shapes to facilitate attachment of spring and release mechanism . The two primary types of pressure plate assemblies are coil spring assembly and diaphragm spring .Diaphragm spring pressure plate assemblies are widely used in most modern cars . The diaphragm spring is a single thin sheet of metal which yields when pressure is applied to it . When pressure is removed the metal spring back to its original shape . The center portion of the diaphragm spring is slit into numerous fingers that act as release levers . When the clutch assembly rotates with the engine these weights are flung outwards by centrifugal plate and cause the levers to press against the pressure plate . During disengagement of the clutch the fingers are moved forward by the release bearing . The spring pivots over the fulcrum ring and its outer rim moves away from the flywheel . The retracting spring pulls the pressure plate away from the clutch plate thus disengaging the clutch .When engaged the release bearing and the fingers of the diaphragm spring move towards the transmission . As the diaphragm pivots over the pivot ring its outer rim forces the pressure plate against the clutch disc so that the clutch plate is engaged to flywheel .The advantages of a diaphragm type pressure plate assembly are its compactness , lower weight , fewer moving parts , less effort to engage , reduces rotational imbalance by providing a balanced force around the pressure plate and less chances of clutch slippage .2. Automatic transmissionThe modern automatic transmission is by far , the most complicated mechanical component in today’s aut omobile . It is a type of transmission that sifts itself . A fluid coupling or torque converter is used instead of a manually operated clutch to connect the transmission to the engine .There are two basic types of automatic transmission based on whether the vehicle is rear wheel drive or front wheel drive . On a rear wheel drive car , the transmission is usually mounted to the back of the engine and is located under the hump in the center of the floorboard alongside the gas pedal position . A drive shaft connects the transmission to the final drive which is located in the rear axle and is used to send power to the rear wheels . Power flow on this system is simple and straight forward going from the engine , through the torque converter , then trough the transmission and drive shaft until it reaches the final drive where it is split and sent to the two rear transmission .On a front wheel drive car , the transmission is usually combined with the final drive to form what is called a transaxle . The engine on a front wheel drive car is usually mounted sideways in the car with the transaxle tucked under it on the side of the engine facing the rear of the car . Front axles are connected directly to the transaxle and provide power to front wheels . In this example , power floes from the engine , through the torque converter to a larger chain that sends the power through a 180 degree turn to the transmission that is along side the engine . From there , the power is routed through the transmission to the final drive where it is split and sent to the two front wheels through the drive axles .There are a number of other arrangements including front drive vehicles where the engine is mounted front to back instead of sideways and there are other systemsthat drive all four wheels but the two systems described here are by far the most popular . A much less popular rear and is connected by a drive shaft to the torque converter which is still mounted on the engine . This system is found on the new Corvette and is used in order to balance the weight evenly between the front and rear wheels for improved performance and handling . Another rear drive system mounts everything , the engine , transmission and final drive in the rear . This rear engine arrangement is popular on the Porsche.The modern automatic transmission consists of many components and systems that designed to work together in a symphony of planetary gear sets , the hydraulic system, seals and gaskets , the torque converter , the governor and the modulator or throttle cable and computer controls that has evolved over the years into what many mechanical inclined individuals consider to be an art from .3.The Differential SystemWhen a vehicle is cornered the inner wheel moves through a shorter distance than the outer wheel . This means that the inner wheel must slow down and the outer wheel must speed up . During this period it is desirable that each driving maintains its driving action . The differential performs these two tasks . The principle of the bevel type differential can be seen if the unit is considered as two discs and a lever .When the vehicle is traveling straight , the lever will divide the diving force equally and both discs will move the same amount .When the vehicle corners , the driving will still be divided equally but the inner disc will now move through a smaller distance ;this will cause the lever to pivot about its center which will prize forward the outer disc to give it a greater movement . This action shows that the torque applied to each driving wheel is always equal – hence the differential is sometimes called a torque equalizer .4.Brake SystemThe breaking system is the most important system in cars . If the brakes fail , the result can be disastrous . Brakes are actually energy conversion devices , which convert the kinetic energy ( momentum ) of the vehicle into thermal ( heat ) . When stepping on the brakes , the driver commands a stopping force ten times as powerful as the force that puts the car in motion . The braking system can exert thousands of pounds of pressure on each of the four brakes .The brake system is composed of the following basic components : the “master cylinder” which is located under the hood , and is directly connected to the brak e pedal , converts driver foot’s mechanical pressure into hydraulic pressure . Steel “brake lines” and flexible “brake hoses” connect the master cylinder to the “slave cylinders” located at each wheel . Brake fluid , specially designed to work in extreme c ondition , fills the system . “Shoes” and “Pads” are pushed by the salve cylinders to contact the “drum” and “rotors” thus causing drag , which ( hopefully ) slows the car .The typical brake system consists of disk brakes in front and either disk or drum brakes in the rear connected by a system of tubes and hoses that link the brake at each wheel to the master cylinder .Stepping on the brake pedal , a plunger is actually been pushing against in the master cylinder which forces hydraulic oil ( brake fluid ) through a series of tubes and hoses to the braking unit at each wheel . Since hydraulic fluid ( or any fluid for that matter ) cannot be compressed , pushing fluid through a pipe is just like pushing a steel bar through pipe . Unlike a steel bar , however , fluid can be directed through many twists and turns on its way to its destination , arriving with the exact same motion and pressure that it started with . It is very important that the fluid is pure liquid and that there are no air bubbles in it . Air can compress , which causes a sponginess to the pedal and severely reduced braking efficiency . If air is suspected , then the system must be bled to remove the air . There are “bleeder screws” at each wheel and caliper for this purpose .On a disk brakes , the fluid from the master cylinder is forced into a caliper where it pressure against a piston . The piton , in-turn , squeezes two brake pads against the disk ( rotor ) which is attached to the wheel , forcing it to slow down or stop . This process is similar to the wheel ,causing the wheel to stop . In either case , the friction surface of the pads on a disk brake system , on the shoes on a drum brake convert the forward motion of the vehicle into heat . Heat is what causes the friction surfaces ( lining ) of the pads and shoes to eventually wear out and require replacement .Brake fluid is a special oil that has specifics properties . It is designed to withstand cold temperatures without thickening as well as very high temperatures without boiling . ( If the brake fluid should boil , it will cause you to have a spongy pedal and the car will be hard to stop ) .The brake fluid reservoir is on top of the master cylinder . Most cars today have a transparent reservoir so that you can see the level without opening the cover . The brake fluid lever will drop slightly as the brake pads wear . This is a normal condition and no cause for concern . If the lever drops noticeably over a short period of time or goes down to about two thirds full , have your brakes checked as soon as possible . Keep the reservoir covered expect for the amount of time you need to fill it and never leave a can of brake fluid uncovered . Brake fluid must maintain a very high boiling point . Exposure to air will cause the fluid to absorb moisture which will lower that boiling point .The brake fluid travels from the master cylinder to the wheels through a series of steel tubes and reinforced rubber hoses . Rubber hoses are only used in places that require flexibility , such as at the front wheels , which move up and down as well as steer . The rest of the system uses non-corrosive seamless steel tubing with special fittings at attachment points . If a steel line requires a repair , the best procedure is to replace the complete line . If this is nit practical , a line can be repaired using special splice fittings that are made for brake system repair . You must never use brass “compression” fittings or copper tubing repair a brake system . They are dangerous and illegal .5.Steering SystemSteering system's basic components: to control, steering gear and steering transmission mechanism composed of three parts.The steering converts the steering –wheel rotary motion into a turn motion of the steered wheels of the vehicle .The basic steering system in most cars is the same . The steering gear of steering box is the heart of the steering system .This is usually next to the engine . A shaft extends from the back of the steering gear . This shaft is connected to the steering column or steering shaft . The steering wheel is at the top of the steering column . Another shaft comes from the bottom of the steering gear . This shaft connects to the arms , rods , and links . This parts assembly , called the steering linkage , connects the steering gear to the parts at the wheels . The wheels and tires mount to the steering knuckles , As shown in fig , the knuckles are pivoted at the top and bottom . Thus , the wheels and rites can turn from side top side .Types of Steering SystemA steering box must have the following qualities :1) no play in the straight-ahead position2)low friction , resulting in high efficiency3)high rigidity ,4 )read justabilityFor these reasons , these are several different types of steering gears . However , there are only two types of steering systems : manual steering systems and power steering systems . In the manual type , the driver dose all the work of turning the steering wheel , steering gear , wheels and tires . In the power , hydraulic fluid assists the operation so that driver effort is reduced .On today’s cars , two types of steering systems commonly are used to provide steering control :1) recirculating ball2) rack and pinionEither of these two types of steering mechanisms may be a fully mechanical systems or a power –assisted system .6.Front SuspensionThe front suspension is more complicated than the rear suspension . This is because the front wheels must move in several different directions . The wheels must move up and down with the suspension and turn left to right with the steering . Since the car goes in the direction in which the front wheels point , the alignment of the front wheels is important . The wheels must point in just the right direction for the car to move straight down the road and turn properly .Modern cars uses an independent front suspension . In this system , each wheel mounts separately to the frame and has its own individual spring and shock absorber . Thus , the wheels act independently of one another . When one wheel hits a bump or hole in the road , the other wheel dose no9t deflect .Front Wheel AlignmentAs a car moves down the high-way , the suspension moves the front wheels up and down . At the same time , the steering mechanism moves the front wheels , sometimes to make turns and sometimes to make the travel straight . The angular relationship between the wheels and suspension parts during this motion is thefront-end geometry . Since the geometry can change the alignment of front wheels is adjustable . You can change the adjustment to compensate for spring sag .The alignment of the front wheels affects the operation of a car . Poor alignment ca make a car pull to one side and stop the front wheels from returning to the straight-ahead position after a turn . The three normally adjustable angles are caster , camber , and toe .1 )CasterCaster is the forward or backward of spindle or steering the knuckle at the top when viewed from the side . Forward tilt is negative caster and backward tilt positive caster . Caster is measured in the number of degrees that it is forward or backward from true vertical and is adjustable on many vehicle .2.) Kingpin AngleThe kingpin angle is the inclination of the steering axis relative to the longitudinal plane , measured in the transverse plane of the vehicle . Kingpin angle is 2°-16°and determines the steering aligning torque in conjunction with steering offset and wheel caster . It is measured only with the vehicle loaded .3.) CamberCamber is the inward or outward tilt of the wheel at the top . Inward tilt is negative camber and outward tilt is positive camber . The tilt of the wheel is measured inn degrees and is adjustable on many vehicles .4) Toe-inToe-in specifies the degree to which non-parallel front wheels are closer together at the front than at th e rear ; measured at the edges of the rims at the wheel center height . front non-driven wheels , toe-in is approximately 2-3 mm , and between 3mm and-2mm for driven wheels . Toe-in reduces the tendency of the wheels to shimmy .7.Rear SuspensionThe purpose of the rear suspension is to support the weight of the rear of the vehicle . As with the front suspension , this system contributes to the stability and ride of the vehicle . Rear suspension may be of the solid axle or independent design . Many cars have solid axle rear suspension . Either design may have different kinds of springs , including torsion bars . However , the coil spring and leaf spring types are most popular .8.Wheels and TiresTo maintain grip when a vehicle is traveling at speed over a bumpy surface , a wheel must be light in weight . Also it must be strong , cheap to produce , easy to clan and simple to remove .WheelsThe structure of the wheel is shown in Fig . The rim is made in one piece , with the wheel center welded or riveted to it . Most modern vehicles use the drop center type . This drop center provides a well for tire bead to drop into for tire removal . A slight hump at the head ledge holds the tire in place should it go flat while driving .TiresTires are important to your safety and comfort . They transmit the driving and braking power to the road . The car’s directional con trol , road-ability and riding comfort are greatly dependent on the tires . Tires should be selected and maintained with great care .There are two basic types of tires –those with inner tubes and those without ( called “tubeless” tires ) . Most mode rn automobile tires are of the tubeless type . Truck and bus tire are usually of the tube type .Tires are made of several layers of nylon , rayon , or polyester fabric bonded together with belts of rayon , fiberglass , or steel cord . The rubber used in tires is a blend of natural and synthetic rubber .中文译文汽车底盘底盘包括:离合器、变速器、传动轴、主减速器、前悬架、后悬架、制动系、转向系、车轮和轮胎。

Application of ECQFD for enabling environmentallyconscious design and sustainable development in anelectric vehicleS. Vinodh • Gopinath RathodAbstract Environmental consciousness is regarded as a vital concept for survival in the competitive market scenario. The need for infusing environmental consciousness during early stage of product design is important. This article reports a study which is focused on the application of Environmentally Conscious Quality Function Deployment (ECQFD) to an electric vehicle. ECQFD consists of four phases. ECQFD phases I and II are concerned with the identification important parts of electric vehicle that are vital for improving the environmental consciousness. ECQFD phases III and IV are used to analyze which design changes among the formulated design options of electric vehicle are most effective with regard to environmental improvement.

Environmental problems such as the global warming and the waste processing have been quite serious over a couple of decades. With growing awareness of environmental issues from global warming to local waste disposal, organizations and government face increasing pressure to reduce the environmental impacts involved in the production and consumption of goods and services. Impact of ecological imperatives on product planning and their internalization and integration can be conceptualized in the broader framework ofstrategic environmental marketing. Public concern on environment has promoted the market value of a clean image and the importance of the public’s perception of the environmental friendliness (Pun 2006). With the rise in environmental concerns among the stakeholders of businesses, firms are responding with strategic environmental marketing activities designed to meet the growing demand for environmentally friendly processes, products and packaging (Pujari and Wright 1996. Manufacturing industries are confronted with a new major challenge on sustainable development due to energy and natural resources being depleted. With the question of sustainable development posed as a key concern in developed societies and for all major organizations, the automotive industry is facing a new economic, technological and political environment. Automobile manufacturers have clearly committed themselves to supply the market with ever safer and more environmentally friendly products and are continuously investing enormously in Research & Development aimed at further product improvements. Today, hybrid and electric vehicles are hit in the market because of the combination of engineering and environmental performance. An electric vehicle associates an electric motor and an internal combustion engine. They are used alternatively orcan complement one another, so as to continually optimize the trade-off between environmental protection and drivability. Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is used to analyze functions required for a product or the product structure to realize these functions, is a design tool applicable to the early stage of product development (Akao and Mazur 2003). The grow ing interest in ‘sustainable development’ has led many companies to examine the ways in which they deal with environmental issues (Bevilacqua et al.2007). To achieve sustainable improvement, environmentally conscious design (eco-design) or Design for Environment (DfE) is becoming an increasingly important topic (Byggeth and Hochschorner 2006). In this context, Environmentally Conscious Quality Function Deployment (ECQFD) has been applied to an electric vehicle in thisresearch study. ECQFD consists of four phases. ECQFD phases I and II are concerned with the identification of components that are focused on product design considering both environmental and traditional requirements. With this process, design engineers will improve the design of their product from an environmental perspective. ECQFDphases III and IV enable design engineers to examine the possibility of design improvements for components and to determine the improvement rate and effect of design Changes.MethodologyThe methodology followed during this study is shown in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 1, the study started with the literature review on QFD, and its application on environmentally friendlier aspects. This is followed by the adoption of ECQFD model and its application to electric vehicle for enabling environmentally conscious product design. Phase I is concerned with the application of ECQFD for the electric vehicles. Phase II is concerned with the deployment of Engineering Metrics (EM) items to product components. In phase III, the effect of a set of design changes on EM items has been estimated. The goal of phase IV was to translate the effect of design changes on EM into environmental quality requirements. This is followed by the derivation of practical inferences.Case studyThe application of ECQFD for enabling environmentally conscious design has been illustrated in this section.About the case companyThe case study has been conducted in an Electric Vehicle Manufacturing (EVM) organization located in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. EVM has been established to manufacture environment-friendly and cost-effective electric vehicles.(VOC) and environmental EMThis section describes the kind of requirements and attributes that must be considered from the environmental point of view through a whole product life cycle, and integrates those environmental items into a set of feasible environmental VOC and EM, and their correlation factors. The voice of recyclers and government regulations are treated as VOC and were expressed by means of engineering terms as EM. Environmental VOCEnvironmental VOC are selected to cover most of the environmental problems so that designers have only to consider them to incorporate environmental aspects intoproduct development.It represents the Easy to drive, Fully automatic drive (no clutch and no gear); Tubeless tyres; Range of 80 km per charge; Least running cost; Steel space frame with side impact beams; Easy to charge at home or office; Easy to park; Large doors easy entry/exit; High seats for superior visibility; Rear foldable seats—more luggage room; Rear de-fogger; Maintenance free AC motor; Automatic hill holding; Hill resistant feature; Less power consumption; Speed up to 80 km/h; Better slope negotiation; Disc brakes, with increased regenerative braking; Improved torque; Increased interior space; Scratch proof, colour impregnated panels; Climate controlled seats; Quick acceleration (pick-up) and Maintenance free power units.Environmental EMEnvironmental EM includes High torque AC induction motor; AC motor controller; 350 A microprocessor with regenerative braking; High frequency switch mode type battery charger; Microprocessor based battery management system; Power pack (lead acid batteries); Number of types of material; Number of parts; Zero emission; Power train performance; Energy efficiency; Rate of recycled materials; Less wear and tear of tyres; Physical life time and V olume.Identifying the target for design improvements ECQFD phase IPhase I describes the application of ECQFD to the design of electric vehicle. Table 1 shows the deployment of VOC to EM. Generally VOC items are weighed based on a market survey to reveal the ‘‘customer weights’’. A rating of ‘‘9’’ indicates that it is very important, ‘‘3’’ indicates it is important and ‘‘1’’ indicates it is relatively important. The degree of importance of environmental VOC is dependent on the concept of product life cycle.The mapping points between VOC and EM items are indicated by means of numbers indicating both factors call ed ‘‘relational strength’’ determined by the designer. Similar to the weighing of VOC item, ‘‘9’’ indicates strong relationship, ‘‘3’’ indicates medium relationship and ‘‘1’’ indicates certain strength. Here, at the mapping points between the environmental VOC items and environmental EM items, the values of relational strength are provided for the designer to enable decision making. For example,EM values such as ‘‘350 A microprocessor with regenerative braking’’, ‘‘Power train performance’’ and‘‘AC motor controller’’ with raw scores of ‘‘0.12’’,‘‘0.10’’ and ‘‘0.08’’, respectively, are relatively important to satisfy the customer requirements: ‘‘Easy to drive’’,‘‘Fully automatic drive (no clutch and no gear)’’, ‘‘Easy to charge at home or office’’ and ‘‘M aintenance free AC motor’’.ECQFD phase IIPhase II is concerned with the deployment of EM items to product components. The relative importance of each product component is obtained in a similar manner as phase I. As shown in Table 2, it is found that ‘‘En ergy Management System’’, ‘‘AC Motor’’ and ‘‘AC Motor Controller’’ are the important components. To improve existing systems from environment perspective, the results obtained are concerned with the QFD results without the environmental VOC and environmental EM items.The results of phase II reveal that the important components are Energy Management System; AC Motor; AC Motor Controller; and Energy Absorbing Bumper. Evaluation method of design improvement When design engineers improve their product from the view point of the environment, evaluating the effects of design changes on environmental aspects is an effective process after identifying the important components. ECQFD phase IIIIn phase III, the effect of a set of design changes on EM items is estimated. In general, design engineers can make several alternative plans. There are two options for design engineers to decide their focus. One method originates from target VOC. Another method is examining the most important components identified in phase II. Here, priority has been assigned to the environmental aspects and the design improvement plan has been set mainly from the viewpoint of the environment.Option I• Number of parts used in a AC Motor should be as minimum as possible.• Physical lifetime of the AC motor must be as long as possible.• The rate of recycled materials used in the energy absorbing bumpers should be as much as possible.• Number of types of materials used in the tubeless tyres should be as less as possible.• Microprocessor based energy management system should be implemented in energy management system.Option II• Energy management system should include 350 A microprocessor based regenerative braking.• The energy efficiency of energy management system should be as much as possible. • The AC motor should dissipate high rate of energy efficiency.• The AC motor should have high torque AC induction motor.• Energy absorbing bumpers should have 350 A microprocessor based regenerative braking.Results and discussionsECQFD enables the design engineers to select the most effective environmentally conscious design option. In order to practically validate the effectiveness of applyingECQFD, a questionnaire-based validation was conducted with the executives of EMV. The respondents were executives of the design, production and quality control departments of EMV. These executives possess excellent knowledge about the company’s manufacturing practices. As a result of the ECQFD process, changes were made to effect environmental consciousness at the early stages of electrical vehicle. Efforts have been taken to integrate energy management and energy absorbing bumpers with 350 A microprocessor based regenerative braking.ConclusionsEnvironmental requirements must be considered equal to the traditional requirements of cost and quality. The introduction of environmental requirements into the product development process at all stages of a product’s life enables the EMV to develop environmentally conscious electric vehicle. ECQFD has been developed by incorporating environmental aspects (VOC and EM) into QFD to handle environmental and traditional product quality requirements together to be used in the early stage of product design for enabling sustainability. ECQFD enables the organization to design environmentally conscious product. Design engineer can identify the components that should be given more importance in electric vehicle in order to make it more黄石理工学院毕业设计(论文)外文文献翻译environmental friendly with the help of ECQFD phases I and II.ECQFD phases III and IV were used to analyze which design changes among the identified design options of electric vehicle are most effective with regard to environmental improvement. The design options generated by ECQFD enable the organization to bring environmentally conscious product. ECQFD has been applied for electric vehicle in this study. In future, the methodology could be extended to several products for ensuring sustainability. Also, refinement could be done in the framework of ECQFD for enhancing the effectiveness.11。
