What is the structure of a car differential?

The structure of a car differential consists of: differential case, side gears, two planetary gears, and a gear carrier. The differential allows the left and right drive wheels to rotate at different speeds. Working principle of a car differential: The power transmitted from the driveshaft is transferred to the ring gear through the pinion gear. The ring gear drives the planetary gear shaft to rotate together, while also driving the side gears to turn, thereby propelling the drive wheels forward. When the vehicle is moving straight, the resistance on both left and right wheels is equal. The planetary gears rotate on their own, transmitting power to both half-shafts, at which point the left and right wheels rotate at the same speed (equivalent to a rigid connection). When the vehicle turns, the resistance on the left and right wheels differs. The planetary gears rotate around the half-shafts while also rotating on their own, thereby absorbing the resistance difference and allowing the wheels to rotate at different speeds, ensuring smooth cornering. The functions of a car differential are: to distribute torque between the two output shafts; to ensure that the two output shafts rotate at different angular speeds; to ensure power transmission to each drive wheel under various motion conditions; and to prevent tire slippage on the ground.

How many points are deducted and how much is the fine for an illegal U-turn?

3 points will be deducted and a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed. The following is relevant information: 1. Relevant legal provisions: On road sections with no U-turn signs, making a U-turn will be penalized as violating prohibitory signs, prohibitions, or marking instructions, resulting in 3 points deducted and a fine of 200 yuan; According to Article 49 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: Motor vehicles are not allowed to make U-turns at locations with no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, as well as at railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or sections prone to danger; Motor vehicles can make U-turns at locations without no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, but must not obstruct the passage of other normally traveling vehicles and pedestrians. 2. Situations where U-turns are allowed: Intersections with U-turn signals; Intersections with U-turn signs; U-turns are allowed where there is no no U-turn sign or there is a separate U-turn indicator or left-turn signal. 3. Situations where U-turns are not allowed: Road sections with no U-turn signs; U-turns are not allowed on zebra crossings; Road sections where the center line is solid; Lanes with straight-only signs on the left cannot be used for U-turns; Intersections where left turns are prohibited.

What is the shelf life of motorcycle engine oil?

Generally speaking, the sealed storage period of used engine oil varies depending on its type: motorcycle engine oil can be stored for up to 6 months without significant issues; semi-synthetic oil can be stored for 9 months; and full-synthetic oil can be stored for 12 months or even longer. Regardless of the type, this duration is sufficient to last until the motorcycle's next maintenance. Storage methods for opened engine oil: 1. Seal immediately after opening: After maintenance at the repair shop, the oil bottle cap should be tightened immediately. Note that since the original tin foil seal has been damaged, the remaining cap gasket provides limited isolation. At this point, you can use a clean plastic film to cover the bottle mouth. To prevent damage, it's best to fold it several times before covering, then screw on the cap for better sealing. If possible, you can also use wax to seal the bottle mouth. 2. Store in a dry and cool place: After sealing the oil bottle, it should be stored in a dry and cool place, ensuring it is not exposed to sunlight to prevent oxidation of the oil inside. 3. Do not pour completely: When using stored oil for the next maintenance, do not pour all of it into the engine. Retain a small portion, as there may be trace amounts of moisture at the bottom of the bottle after long-term storage, which could affect engine performance or even cause adverse effects if added to the engine.

What does 4llc mean?

4llc stands for low-speed four-wheel drive with a central differential system, which is a measure of a vehicle's performance. Below is an introduction to vehicle drive and differential systems: Four-wheel drive: Also known as all-wheel drive, it means that both the front and rear wheels of the vehicle have power. The engine's output torque can be distributed in different proportions to all wheels based on the road conditions to improve the vehicle's driving capability. Central differential: A central differential is installed between the drive axles. In multi-axle drive vehicles, the drive axles are connected by drive shafts. To allow each drive axle to have different input angular speeds and eliminate wheel slippage, a central differential is used.

The Function of Speed Limiting Cruise Control

The function of speed limiting cruise control is to achieve speed limitation by setting the maximum output throttle signal value through the controller. When the throttle output signal cannot exceed the set maximum value, the speed is restricted. The method to use speed limiting cruise control is to press the speed limiting cruise button and then pull down the RES button. Precautions for using speed limiting cruise control: 1. Do not use the speed control system on roads with heavy traffic or poor road conditions; 2. If the set cruising speed is too high compared to the current traffic conditions, do not immediately resume the set speed; 3. Do not shift the gear lever into neutral after the system is turned on.

What is the difference between 4S genuine parts and original car parts?

The difference between 4S genuine parts and original car parts is mainly reflected in their different meanings. The following is a specific introduction to the differences between 4S genuine parts and original car parts: Genuine parts: Parts produced by the main factory's regular suppliers, not the car's original factory, but by the same production supplier as the original car, and also sold in the market, including brand parts and imitations. Original car parts: The parts that come with the car, genuine parts from the car's original factory, exactly the same as the original car parts. In fact, these are the real genuine parts. Note: In addition to the original factory parts used when the car leaves the factory, the spare parts at 4S stores are also genuine parts, ordered directly from the factory.
