When the speed exceeds 1.4 times the rated speed, or when the steps, pallets, or belts change their designated direction of operation. Working principle of the escalator auxiliary brake: The escalator auxiliary brake generally consists of a brake electrical switch, a brake iron block, and an auxiliary brake wheel. The auxiliary brake wheel is installed on one side of the main drive wheel. Its structure is a large round wheel with 8 evenly distributed teeth, and the entire wheel rotates along with the main drive wheel. Function of the escalator auxiliary brake: In the event of the aforementioned accidents, the auxiliary brake plays a decisive role. When an accident occurs, a signal is immediately transmitted to the electrical switch of the auxiliary brake, cutting off the power to achieve braking. As mentioned above, the iron block quickly drops onto the teeth of the auxiliary brake wheel, locking the wheel to achieve braking.

The Difference Between BMW and BMW Brilliance?

Here is the relevant introduction to the differences between BMW Brilliance and BMW: 1. Different brand attributes: BMW Brilliance is a joint venture brand, while BMW is the original product brand. BMW: All parts and body are original assembly, and the car is imported; BMW Brilliance: Original parts are shipped to China and assembled domestically into complete vehicles. 2. From the perspective of vehicle parts procurement sources: Both BMW Brilliance and BMW use globally imported parts. BMW Brilliance also uses imported parts, with production origins including Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, and even China. BMW factories worldwide have unified standards and requirements for imported parts, and local suppliers of BMW Brilliance are also controlled by BMW Group's procurement strategy. 3. Engine: Some parts of BMW Brilliance's engines, such as cylinder blocks and cylinder heads, are imported from Germany, while others like crankshafts and camshafts are processed or procured domestically. Some engine series are imported as complete units. As for core components like axles and transmissions, the localization rate of parts is relatively low. BMW Brilliance's Tiexi factory has a ZF assembly workshop, following BMW's plant construction model.

What are the common causes of car spontaneous combustion?

Car spontaneous combustion can be caused by electrical leakage, grounding issues, fuel leakage, electrical component failure, and short circuits. Below is a partial introduction to the causes of car spontaneous combustion: 1. Electrical Leakage: When the engine is running, the high temperature of the ignition coil can soften, age, or crack the insulation layer of the high-voltage ignition wires, making it easier for the high-voltage electricity to penetrate the insulation. This results in electrical leakage, causing the temperature at the leakage point to continuously rise and ignite leaked gasoline from the engine or carburetor, ultimately leading to a fire. 2. Grounding Issues: Among self-ignition accidents caused by circuit failures, grounding issues are the most common cause. Many new car owners, eager to protect their vehicles, install anti-theft devices, upgrade audio systems, or modify the car's appearance. These actions can lead to improper grounding of wires, potentially causing the vehicle to catch fire. 3. Fuel Leakage: Leaked gasoline is a highly dangerous flammable substance. 4. Electrical Component Failure and Short Circuits: Common issues include the starter switch contacts welding together due to overheating, preventing the starter solenoid from disengaging. This leads to prolonged starting times (the safe starting time for a starter is 5 seconds), causing the starter to overheat and catch fire.

What are the correction techniques for steering too early when reversing into a parking space?

The technique for correcting direction when steering too early while reversing into a parking space is to immediately straighten the steering wheel when the car body is about to align. Below are the specific techniques for reversing into a parking space: 1. Identify the starting point: Taking right-side reversing as an example, the car should be 1.2-1.8 meters away from the left line at the starting position, with the steering wheel straight and the car body parallel to the left line. When reversing, use the lower edge of the left rearview mirror as a reference. When the two coincide, turn the steering wheel fully to the right and continue reversing. 2. Control the corner point: Watch the right rearview mirror. When you spot the corner point of the parking space, observe the distance between the corner point and the car body until the car body is parallel to the parking line, then straighten the steering wheel by turning it back one and a half turns. 3. Align the stopping point: The stopping point is where you park after entering the parking space. The reference method is the same as identifying the starting point. When the lower edge of the left mirror aligns with the shoulder line of the parking space, stop the car.

What Causes Idle Vibration in the Spirior?

Spirior idle vibration can be caused by issues in the ignition system or the need to clean the throttle body. Specific details are as follows: Ignition System Problems: Spark plugs have a limited lifespan. If spark plugs have been used for a long time, they may not fire properly, leading to unstable idle conditions. Therefore, it is essential to inspect the ignition system, including checking whether the spark plugs need replacement or if there is excessive carbon buildup. If such issues are found and are causing idle vibration, the spark plugs should be replaced or cleaned promptly. Throttle Body Needs Cleaning: The proper operation of the throttle body directly affects the engine's performance. During vehicle operation, carbon deposits can accumulate in the throttle body. Excessive carbon buildup can obstruct normal air intake, leading to insufficient engine power. This may result in the compressor being barely driven or not driven at all. In such cases, when starting the car and turning on the air conditioning, idle vibration may occur. Thus, it is crucial to check the cleanliness of the throttle body and clean it if necessary.

Can You Drive in Martin Boots?

You can wear them, but it may affect driving, so it is not recommended. Here is an introduction to shoes that are not suitable for driving: 1. Snow boots: Snow boots are too loose, bulky, and easily get stuck between the accelerator and clutch. Wearing them reduces the driver's sensitivity to switching between the accelerator and brake, making it easy to cause rear-end collisions due to delayed braking. 2. Martin boots, wedge heels, and platform shoes: These shoes share the common characteristic of having thick soles. The overly thick soles lack foot sensation, and when braking, they may inadvertently affect the accelerator, leading to inaccurate control of brake and accelerator pressure. 3. Stiletto heels: The epitome of elegance and delicacy in footwear, but driving in such shoes may make it difficult to press or release the brake and accelerator. 4. Mid-low heels: The danger index of these shoes is most easily overlooked. Due to the thin heels, the foot is not stable and tends to wobble, making it easy to get stuck by the accelerator and brake pedals. 5. Flip-flops: Since flip-flops do not stay on the feet, they are prone to slipping off, which is particularly dangerous in emergency situations while driving.
