Car bumpers are mostly made of plastic, while some older cars may have metal bumpers. Plastic bumpers are generally injection-molded using PP (polypropylene) material, which has a high melting point, strong heat resistance, and is currently the lightest among general-purpose plastics with high corrosion resistance. Below are the functions of bumpers: 1. They absorb and mitigate external impact forces when the vehicle or driver experiences collision forces, acting as a buffer device to protect both people and the vehicle. 2. In addition to maintaining their original protective function, front and rear bumpers also pursue harmony and unity with the vehicle body design while aiming for lightweight construction. 3. Plastic bumpers possess strength, rigidity, and decorative qualities. From a safety perspective, they provide cushioning during collisions to protect the front and rear vehicle body. From an aesthetic standpoint, they integrate naturally with the vehicle body, forming a seamless whole, making them an important decorative component that enhances the vehicle's exterior appearance.

Does the Spark Plug Work Continuously?

The spark plug works continuously. The function of the spark plug is to discharge the pulsed high-voltage electricity sent by the high-voltage wire, break down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug, and generate an electric spark to ignite the mixed gas in the cylinder. Its characteristics include high-energy stable sparks, uniformly mixed gas, and high compression ratio. Spark plugs are divided into: 1. Standard spark plug: The insulator skirt is slightly retracted into the shell end face, and the side electrode is outside the shell end face; 2. Insulator-protruding spark plug: The insulator skirt is longer and protrudes outside the shell end face; 3. Fine-electrode spark plug: The electrode is thin, characterized by strong sparks and good ignition capability.
