Why Has the Car Horn Sound Become Quieter?
1 Answers
Car horn sound may become quieter due to reasons such as excessive battery discharge, contact point erosion or poor contact, as well as loose or poor contact at terminal connections. Below is a detailed introduction to car horns: 1. Introduction: The horn is the audio signaling device of a car. During driving, the driver can emit necessary audio signals as needed and required to warn pedestrians and alert other vehicles, ensuring traffic safety, while also being used for urging and signal transmission. 2. Working Principle: The car electric horn produces sound through the vibration of a metal diaphragm. The car electric horn consists of an iron core, magnetic coil, contacts, armature, diaphragm, etc. When the driver presses the horn switch, current flows through the contacts to the coil, generating magnetic force that pulls down the armature, forcing the diaphragm to move. The movement of the armature causes the contacts to open, interrupting the current and causing the coil's magnetic force to disappear. The diaphragm, along with the armature, returns to its original position under its own elasticity and the spring plate's action, closing the contacts again to reconnect the circuit. Current then flows through the contacts to the coil, generating magnetic force and repeating the above actions. This cycle repeats continuously, causing the diaphragm to vibrate repeatedly and thus producing sound.
