The function of the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism is to provide a combustion chamber, convert the expansion pressure generated by fuel combustion acting on the top of the piston into the rotational torque of the crankshaft, and continuously output power. The following is an introduction to it: Working principle: It converts the gas pressure into the torque of the crankshaft, transforms the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the crankshaft, and converts the force of combustion acting on the top of the piston into the torque of the crankshaft to output mechanical energy to the working machinery. Components: The crankshaft connecting rod mechanism consists of three parts: the engine block group, the piston connecting rod group, and the crankshaft flywheel group. Engine block group: cylinder block, cylinder gasket, cylinder head, crankcase, cylinder liner, and oil pan. Piston connecting rod group: piston, piston rings, piston pin, connecting rod. Crankshaft flywheel group: crankshaft, flywheel, torsional vibration damper, balance shaft.

What Causes Vehicle Directional Drift?

Reasons for vehicle directional drift: 1. Significant difference in left and right tire pressure: This usually occurs when a tire is punctured or damaged. A large difference in tire pressure causes uneven vehicle height and imbalanced force distribution during driving, leading to directional drift. 2. Damaged left or right shock absorbers: When the shock absorption coefficients on both sides differ significantly, or when one side's shock absorber spring deforms or fails, directional drift may occur. 3. Abnormal four-wheel alignment parameters: Vehicles driving for extended periods with incorrect parameters, especially those frequently traveling on rough roads, are prone to changes in four-wheel alignment. Directional drift is often caused by abnormal camber angles, so it's essential to check camber angles during four-wheel alignment.

What are the types of automatic transmissions?

Currently, the most common automatic transmissions on the market mainly fall into the following four categories: 1. AT transmission, officially named torque converter automatic transmission, which is the most widely used type. It has evolved from early 4AT transmissions to current 9AT transmissions in some vehicles. The advantages of AT transmissions are obvious, offering more direct power delivery, but they also have notable drawbacks such as noticeable jerking during acceleration and relatively higher fuel consumption. 2. CVT transmission, officially named continuously variable transmission, is primarily represented by Japanese car manufacturers, with models from Honda and Nissan mostly using CVT transmissions. The characteristics of CVT transmissions are distinct; since the gear ratio is not fixed but a continuous range of values, it provides excellent smoothness and outstanding fuel economy. However, the downside is relatively obvious, as it lacks sudden bursts of power output, making it relatively gentle. 3. AMT transmission, short for automated manual transmission, is a compromise between MT and AT transmissions. Its advantage lies in lower production costs and more convenient operation compared to manual transmissions. However, the drawbacks of AMT transmissions are more pronounced; poor operation can easily lead to strong jerking, significantly affecting comfort. Moreover, few models on the market are currently equipped with AMT transmissions. 4. Dual-clutch transmission, abbreviated as DCT, as the name suggests, uses two sets of clutches that alternate to achieve seamless gear shifts. It is further divided into dry and wet dual-clutch types. DCT transmissions offer fast shifting speeds, minimal power loss during gear changes, and good fuel economy. However, the disadvantages of dual-clutch transmissions are more evident, with stability in quality being a major drawback.

Do Brake Pads Need to Be Replaced at 40,000 Kilometers?

Whether brake pads need to be replaced at 40,000 kilometers depends on their wear condition. Generally, replacement is not recommended unless the wear is severe. Judging Brake Pads by Thickness: New brake pads are typically about 1.5 cm thick. If they wear down to one-third of their original thickness, or less than 5 mm, it is advisable to replace them promptly. Judging Brake Pads by Sound: If a metallic scraping noise is heard during braking, it may indicate that the brake pads have worn down to their minimum thickness. The wear indicators on the sides of the pads may be rubbing against the brake disc, producing the noise, which means the pads need immediate replacement. Judging Brake Pads by Warning Indicators: Some vehicle models are equipped with brake wear indicators. If the brake pads are excessively worn, the sensor wire may come into contact with the brake disc, causing a change in resistance and generating an electrical current. This triggers a signal, and a brake pad warning light will illuminate on the dashboard.

What brand is bluearth tire?

bluearth tires belong to the Japanese brand Yokohama Tire, also known as Yokohama. Taking the Yokohama A349 tire as an example, its straight drainage groove design provides excellent drainage performance, allowing the car to maintain outstanding driving stability even when driving at high speeds on wet and slippery roads. Additionally, the tire features a shoulder straight-line design, significantly enhancing grip on wet surfaces. Automotive tires are one of the crucial components of a vehicle, as they directly contact the road surface and work together with the car's suspension to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving performance. They also ensure strong adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving traction, braking, and off-road capability. Moreover, tires bear the weight of the vehicle, and their importance in automotive performance is increasingly recognized.

How to Step on the Clutch When Starting on a Slope in Subject 2?

Here is the relevant introduction on how to step on the clutch when going uphill in Subject 2: 1. Loosen the clutch when climbing: Slowly release the clutch to the semi-engagement point until the car starts to shake, then release a little more until the car begins to move forward, indicating that semi-engagement is achieved. However, when climbing a slope, since more power is needed compared to flat ground, the clutch may need to be released slightly more than on flat ground. That is, release a bit more and don't step on it too tightly. 2. Do not fully release the clutch: This is a general principle applicable to any situation. As long as you can ensure the car doesn't stop (and certainly doesn't roll backward), you can step on it a bit tighter. The slower the speed, the more time you have to operate and correct, etc. Therefore, for beginners, it's natural not to fully release the clutch, as this would make the car too fast and cause panic. 3. Skilled drivers can loosen the clutch, while unskilled ones should step on it tighter: When climbing, for beginners, it's best not to fully release the clutch, but also not to step on it as tightly as on flat ground. The purpose of stepping on the clutch is to control speed. If your hands and eyes can keep up, you can speed up (by releasing the clutch). If your hands are slow and your eyes and brain can't keep up, then it's better to go slower when climbing (step on it tighter, don't fully release). Once you become more skilled, you can speed up the car a bit. If you're not skilled, you must slow the car down.
