Reasons for increased car fuel consumption: 1. Engine carbon deposits: During long-term operation, gasoline inevitably produces carbon deposits and sludge during combustion. If these deposits are not cleaned in time, they will lead to increased fuel consumption; 2. Spark plug failure: If damaged, it will reduce ignition energy and cause uneven combustion of the air-fuel mixture, resulting in slower acceleration and increased fuel consumption; 3. Abnormal tire pressure: Improper tire pressure can also affect fuel consumption. When the tire pressure is too low or the tread is severely worn, the contact area between the tire and the road surface increases, leading to greater friction, increased rolling resistance, and naturally higher fuel consumption; 4. Poor fuel injector atomization: This situation may be caused by clogged fuel injectors, significantly affecting their performance, which also leads to increased fuel consumption.

Can You Not Engage the Handbrake When in P Gear?

You cannot skip engaging the handbrake when in P gear. Here is supplementary information about P gear and the handbrake: 1. Different braking principles: When parking and engaging P gear, the transmission's locking mechanism activates; when parking and pulling the handbrake, friction between the brake disc and brake pads achieves parking brake control. 2. Different braking effects: Parking with only P gear engaged and no handbrake applied puts significant pressure on the transmission's gear locking mechanism when the car is on a slope. In severe cases, this may lead to transmission damage or oil leaks, and there is a high likelihood of the car rolling.

Classification and Types of Speed Reducers?

Speed reducers can be divided into two major categories based on their application: general-purpose speed reducers and special-purpose speed reducers. Below is an introduction to the types of speed reducers: 1. Cylindrical gear reducer: Cylindrical gear reducers come in single-stage, two-stage, and multi-stage configurations, with arrangements such as expansion type, split type, and coaxial type. 2. Bevel gear reducer: Bevel gear reducers are suitable for situations where the input and output shafts intersect. 3. Worm gear reducer: Primarily used for transmission ratios i>10, they offer a compact structure for larger transmission ratios. The drawback is lower efficiency, with the Archimedes worm gear reducer being widely used currently.
