The crank connecting rod mechanism mainly includes the cylinder block, cylinder gasket, cylinder head, crankcase, cylinder liner, and oil pan of the engine block group; the piston, piston rings, piston pin, and connecting rod of the piston connecting rod group; and the crankshaft, flywheel, torsional vibration damper, and balance shaft of the crankshaft flywheel group. Here is some relevant information: 1. The engine block serves as the installation base for all mechanisms and systems of the engine. It houses all the main components and accessories of the engine, both internally and externally, and bears various loads. Therefore, the engine block must have sufficient strength and rigidity. 2. The working principle of the crank connecting rod mechanism: During the power stroke, the piston is subjected to the expansion pressure generated by the combustion gases, converting the linear motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the crankshaft via the connecting rod, thereby outputting power externally. Relying on the rotational inertia of the crankshaft and flywheel, the connecting rod drives the piston up and down to complete auxiliary strokes such as exhaust, intake, and compression, preparing for the next power stroke.

What are the differences between a three-cylinder and a four-cylinder sedan?

Three-cylinder and four-cylinder cars mainly differ in their engines. Below are the key differences between three-cylinder and four-cylinder cars: 1. Difference one: Three-cylinder engines are less smooth in operation compared to four-cylinder engines, and they produce more noise during operation. Additionally, three-cylinder engines are less expensive to manufacture than four-cylinder engines. 2. Difference two: Compared to four-cylinder engines, three-cylinder engines have one less cylinder, one less piston, one less connecting rod, one less set of intake and exhaust valves, one less spark plug, one less ignition coil, one less fuel injector, one less intake manifold, and one less exhaust manifold. 3. Difference three: Three-cylinder engines are lighter in weight and more compact in size. Using a three-cylinder engine helps improve fuel economy and reduce exhaust emissions. Most hybrid vehicles use three-cylinder engines due to their smaller size, which allows for the installation of an electric motor in the engine compartment. Many automakers employ technical measures to compensate for the lower smoothness of three-cylinder engines. 4. Difference four: Most cars with three-cylinder engines use specially designed engine mounts and are equipped with balance shafts inside the engine to improve operational smoothness. However, over time, these mounts and balance shafts can wear out, and the use of balance shafts increases costs. In some cases, choosing a four-cylinder engine may offer slightly better value for money.

Can a Rearview Camera Be Installed in a Car?

It is possible to install a rearview camera in a car. The installation method for a car rearview camera is as follows: 1. Route the power cable of the recorder to the car charger, and run the camera cable from the rear seat to the back of the car. 2. Use a screwdriver to remove the plastic panel of the car's trunk. 3. Choose a suitable location to fix the rear camera, and connect the camera's cable to the positive terminal of the taillight. Below is a brief introduction to the rearview camera: The rearview camera automatically activates when the vehicle is shifted into reverse gear. It captures real-time footage of the area behind the vehicle through a rear-mounted camera and displays the image on the central control screen. The driver can observe the situation behind the vehicle based on the screen, thereby improving parking safety.

Can You Turn on the Windshield Wipers During a Rainy Day Driving Test for Subject Three?

During the Subject Three driving test, you are allowed to turn on the windshield wipers if it rains. On rainy days, rainwater on the windshield can obscure visibility, and failing to use the wipers to clear it would be like driving blind, compromising safety. Moreover, according to the test requirements, "failure to correctly use lights, windshield wipers, or other common vehicle controls" results in an immediate deduction of 100 points. More details are as follows: 1. If it starts raining before the test begins, turn on the windshield wipers during the "preparation before driving" phase. It's best to activate them as soon as you get in the car, as this doesn't conflict with other operations. If you forget to turn them on when entering the car, it's fine—just activate them before starting the vehicle. 2. If it starts raining while you're on the road, promptly turn on the windshield wipers—"sooner rather than later."

What to Do If You Can't Park Straight When Reversing into a Parking Space?

If you can't park straight when reversing into a parking space, you need to understand the techniques for reversing into a parking space: 1. Right-side parking: Adjust the seat and backrest after getting into the car, and adjust the left and right rearview mirrors to the lowest position, preferably so you can see a bit of the rear wheels. Fasten your seatbelt. First, move the car to an appropriate position, shift into reverse gear, gently lift the clutch, and slowly reverse. When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror touches the control line, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right. 2. After turning the steering wheel all the way to the right, look at the left rearview mirror. When you see the corner of the parking space in the left rearview mirror, straighten the steering wheel (if the left front door handle is already over the line, don't straighten the wheel—just reverse directly into the space). 3. After straightening the steering wheel, continue reversing until the left front door handle is over the left parking line, then turn the steering wheel all the way to the right again. 4. When you see the corner of the left baseline of the parking space, straighten the steering wheel. Keep reversing until the car is vertical and parallel, adjusting the car's position as needed. Once the car is aligned, look at the left rearview mirror. When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror casing is over the front line of the parking space, stop the car.

Do You Need to Press the Brake When Shifting Gears in an Automatic Transmission While Driving?

Automatic transmission vehicles do not require pressing the brake when shifting gears while driving. Here are the reasons: 1. The vehicle is already in the D (Drive) gear while moving. When shifting gears, it might be to switch to S (Sport) or M (Manual) mode. Automatic transmission vehicles do not allow switching to N (Neutral), P (Park), or R (Reverse) while driving. 2. For automatic transmission vehicles, the brake pedal only needs to be pressed when shifting into P (Park) gear. For other gears, normal manual control is sufficient without the need for assistance from the right foot. This is mainly because, in P (Park) gear, there is a control lock valve that must be released by pressing the brake pedal, allowing the gear to shift from P (Park) to other gears (when parking and shifting).

Is It Normal for a New Car's Exhaust Pipe to Have Black Soot?

The black soot on a car's exhaust pipe consists of carbon particles, which is a normal phenomenon. Here are the reasons for the blackening of the exhaust pipe: 1. Cars that burn oil will definitely have black exhaust pipes, but cars with black exhaust pipes do not necessarily burn oil. Severe black carbon on the exhaust pipe is mostly not a malfunction, but one thing is certain: the engine's air-fuel ratio is likely frequently problematic, meaning the gasoline in the engine often does not burn completely, leading to excessive carbon buildup. 2. Overly rich fuel mixture, incomplete combustion of the mixture causes black soot on the car's exhaust pipe.
