What are the three functions of a flywheel?

1 Answers

Flywheels serve three main purposes: storing energy, stabilizing rotational speed, transmitting rotational force, and starting the engine. The specific functions are as follows: Storing energy and stabilizing rotational speed: The flywheel utilizes its own moment of inertia to store part of the work input to the crankshaft during the power stroke, which is then used to overcome resistance during other strokes, driving the crank-connecting rod mechanism past the top and bottom dead centers. This ensures the crankshaft's rotational angular velocity and output torque remain as uniform as possible, and enables the engine to overcome short-term overloads. Transmitting rotational force: The flywheel acts as the driving component of the friction clutch, engaging and disengaging with the clutch. Its function is to transmit the engine's rotational force to the drive wheels through the transmission. Starting the engine: A flywheel ring gear is mounted on the outer edge of the flywheel, meshing with the starter motor's drive gear to facilitate engine starting. Effects of flywheel failure: When the flywheel housing deforms, its parallelism and the concentricity of the bearing seat holes lose their original accuracy, meaning the flywheel housing bore, crankshaft center, and transmission center are no longer concentric, causing misalignment between the engine and transmission centers. This affects power transmission. Wear on the driven components also increases, leading to transmission noise.

On the last day of the driver's license, which year does the deduction count towards?

It counts towards the previous year. According to regulations, the cumulative demerit point cycle (i.e., the scoring cycle) for road traffic safety violations is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is first obtained. In other words, the calculation method for a scoring cycle is "month to month". For example, if the driver's license is obtained on March 1st, then until March 1st of the following year is one demerit point cycle, and the next demerit point cycle starts from March 1st of the following year. Legal basis: Article 65 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" states that the cumulative demerit point cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is first obtained. Based on the severity of road traffic safety violations, the points for a single violation are divided into five types: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point.
