The structural principle of a booster cylinder involves manually pressurizing (via a hydraulic hand pump) to allow hydraulic oil to enter the cylinder through a one-way valve. Once inside, the hydraulic oil cannot flow back due to the one-way valve, forcing the piston rod upward. The process continues as more hydraulic oil is pumped into the cylinder. Booster Cylinder: Designed by combining the advantages of pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders, the booster cylinder strictly isolates hydraulic oil from compressed air. The piston rod inside the cylinder automatically initiates contact with the workpiece, offering fast operation and more stable performance compared to pneumatic systems. It features a simple cylinder structure, easy force adjustment, and can achieve high output similar to hydraulic presses under the same conditions. Additional benefits include low energy consumption, soft landing to protect molds, easy installation, and the ability to mount special booster cylinders at any 360-degree angle. It occupies minimal space, has fewer faults, no temperature rise issues, long lifespan, and low noise, among other core characteristics. Booster Cylinder Types: Pre-pressurized booster cylinder, direct-pressurized booster cylinder, stroke-adjustable booster cylinder, increased return-stroke booster cylinder, compact parallel booster cylinder, mini booster cylinder, high-speed booster cylinder, and oil-gas isolated booster cylinder.

Having driven cars all my life, I'm all too familiar with this booster cylinder—simply put, it's an assistant in the braking system that makes pressing the brake pedal effortless. Structurally, it resembles a plastic box divided into two small chambers: one is a vacuum chamber connected to the engine's intake pipe, and the other is an atmospheric chamber open to the outside air. The two are separated by a flexible rubber diaphragm. The principle is that when you press the brake, a valve opens, allowing air to rush into the atmospheric chamber, creating a pressure difference. The suction from the vacuum chamber pulls, and the rubber diaphragm pushes the pushrod to press the brake fluid, saving you more than half the effort. Over time, as the car ages, if the diaphragm ruptures or the valve leaks air, the brake pedal becomes as hard as a rock, which is extremely dangerous. Therefore, regularly check the vacuum hose for cracks—don't wait until there's a problem at high speed to regret it.

What Do Power and Torque Mean?

Two important parameters of an engine are horsepower and torque. These two parameters are key factors in determining the quality of an engine. Torque is the force that causes an object to rotate. In simpler terms, torque indicates how much strength a car has. Power refers to the speed at which the engine performs work, essentially how fast the engine can rotate. Generally, a car with higher rotational speed can run faster. Horsepower is a unit of power. Typically, for a given power output, the rotational speed and torque of the same engine are inversely proportional. This means that the slower the engine's rotational speed, the greater its torque and strength, but at the expense of speed. Conversely, a higher rotational speed results in lower torque and relatively less strength, but higher speed. High torque is beneficial for acceleration, while high rotational speed enables the car to run faster. However, for different engines, if the power is greater, the rotational speed will be relatively higher, and the torque will also be greater. This is why a Bugatti engine with 1000 horsepower can reach speeds of 400 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just over three seconds. In contrast, a Santana with just over 100 horsepower cannot exceed 180 km/h and takes more than ten seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h.

Does touching the line with the car body result in point deduction in Subject 2?

Touching the line with the car body means the car body crosses the line. In the Subject 2 driving test, crossing the line with the car body results in a 100-point deduction, making the test unsuccessful. In addition to crossing the line with the car body, other actions that result in a 100-point deduction include failing to park properly in reverse, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route or sequence, exceeding the allotted time, etc. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, 20-point deduction, 10-point deduction, and 5-point deduction. The test is considered passed under the following conditions: ① For applicants of large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. If a candidate fails the Subject 2 test, they are allowed one retake on the spot. If the candidate chooses not to retake or fails the retake, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving test permit, the number of test attempts for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills cannot exceed five. If the fifth attempt is still unsuccessful, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated.

Will stepping on the accelerator cause failure in Subject 2?

No. The Subject 2 driving test does not require stepping on the accelerator. Subject 2 is a closed-course test where you can drive in first gear throughout the entire process without needing to press the accelerator. Below are precautions for Subject 2: 1. Adjust the seat properly: The seat should be adjusted to a comfortable position that suits your habits, neither too far forward nor too far back; 2. Adjust the rearview mirrors: The left rearview mirror should be adjusted to a position where you can easily see the left rear door handle and left rear wheel, while the right rearview mirror should be adjusted to the lowest position, with the right front handle visible in the middle of the mirror from the driver's seat; 3. Fasten the seat belt: Buckle up as soon as you get in the car, and make sure to listen carefully to voice prompts. Develop the good habit of using turn signals—there are three instances during Subject 2 where you need to signal (starting, hill start, and exiting parallel parking); 4. Pay attention to speed control: Mainly achieved by adjusting the clutch pedal height, and you may lightly press the brake if necessary, but avoid stopping completely. The key points are slow speed and quick steering.

Why Can't the Cause of Air Leakage in Tubeless Tires Be Found?

It may be due to poor sealing between the tire and the rim, foreign objects at the sealing area between the tire and the rim, or deformation that makes it difficult to detect. The reasons for tire air leakage are as follows: Punctured by foreign objects: Common foreign objects that can puncture tires include nails, screws, wires, glass fragments, sharp stones, and tile pieces. Among these, nails and screws are most likely to penetrate the tire, causing a slow leak. They may also remain lodged in the puncture site, and if not removed promptly, can worsen the damage to the tire. Damage to the tire sidewall and inner edge: Besides the tire tread being vulnerable to damage from hard objects, the sidewall and inner edge are also weak points. Some drivers with poor spatial awareness often scrape the tire sidewalls against curbs, leading to gradual wear. Damage to the inner edge of the tire usually occurs during improper installation or removal of the tire from the rim, often during tire replacement or after a repair. Both sidewall and inner edge damage can cause slow leaks and significantly increase the risk of a blowout. Deformation of the rim flange: When a car tire is fully inflated, the outer edge of the tire tightly seals against the rim flange to prevent gas leakage. If the rim flange is deformed due to impact, it can compromise the seal with the tire's outer edge, resulting in a slow leak.
