Chapter 219 High-efficiency motors

Lu Zixin felt that it was not realistic, and he needed to overcome many difficulties to turn technology into reality, especially the technology he had obtained that had not yet been mastered in the motor vehicle industry, and the difficulty coefficient was doubled!

Before making automobiles, we should first make some relatively simple motor vehicles for technology and capital accumulation, such as building companies and factories, and establishing a complete upstream supply chain and downstream sales chain.

"Electric vehicles seem to be the best choice at the moment?" Lu Zixin thought about it, or electric vehicles are the most suitable for starting.

Electric vehicles are broadly defined as all electrically driven vehicles, but what Lu Zixin thinks about is the two-wheeled electric vehicle that everyone rides in daily life, commonly known as the little electric donkey.

The structure of the small electric donkey is much simpler than that of a four-wheeled vehicle, and the manufacturing is relatively simple, and the industrial requirements are lower.

Moreover, even if it is an electric car, it does not mean that there is no black technology!

Lu Zixin asked RI-8901 to look it up in the "Atlas of Simple Mechanical Structures", and soon found several black technologies that he could try to develop.

The first is the multi-core control of intelligent and efficient motors, motors, that is, the engines of electric vehicles.

It is made of high-strength magnets, with an intelligent control chip, which can be activated instantaneously by electrical or wireless signals.

This kind of motor can reduce current consumption and increase power. Some ordinary electric vehicles can be driven on flat roads, but once they climb a slope with a relatively high incline, it is very difficult, and even the load must be reduced.

But these are minor problems for multi-core controlled intelligent and efficient motors, and the power it generates can even make users feel the push back feeling of car acceleration!

There is also an electromagnetic brake braking system, electromagnetic braking, which is an existing technology, but the application level is only in large mechanical equipment, such as mine electric drills, roller coasters, etc.

Traditional friction brakes will have instability, such as skidding on rainy and snowy days, resulting in poor braking effect.

Electromagnetic braking, on the other hand, relies on the interaction between the magnetic poles to achieve braking, and when the metal sheet cuts the magnetic inductance line, it will generate eddy currents inside the metal, which will generate a magnetic field to resist the movement. In fact, the magnetic brake device is not in direct contact with the car body, so it is not affected by external road conditions and weather.

This kind of electromagnetic brake device often requires the cooperation of fixed magnetic poles, so it is rarely used in general motor vehicles. Even if some cars are used, it is only electromagnetic braking assistance, and it mainly relies on friction braking.

In the mechanical map given by Optimus Prime, this technical obstacle has been overcome, and the electromagnetic brake device can be installed on moving machinery, not only vehicles, but also other moving machines.

In addition, there are some designs, about the body, transmission, etc., if carefully built, the electric car can even surpass the fuel motorcycle in terms of speed and other performance!

Of course, the pursuit of speed is a high-end racing model, Lu Zixin is not considering it for the time being, he first wants a family electric vehicle. Only when the products made have a market and profits, can a virtuous circle be formed and continue to invest in research and development.

Don't look at the amount of money that Hongxin Company makes, Lu Zixin has almost thrown two-thirds of it into research and development. The total number of subsidiaries of Hongxin Group has reached five R&D centers under construction, and more than 100 laboratories and the like, and every new project is established, this number will be increased.

The investment in R&D is as small as millions and as many as billions, and it has been burning money!

This is also something that can't be helped, and the research of Hongxin is all "breakthrough" technology fields. For other enterprises, even the state support can't come up with so much money to invest.

In addition to the mechanical equipment and structure, Lu Zixin believes that improvements need to be made, and modifications are also needed in the direction of intelligence.

He brought in a few professionals and discussed them with them.

There were three people in total, one of whom was Professor Cheng Mu of Mechanical Power and Engineering at Jiang University, who was invited by Lu Zixin.

One is named Jiang Xunmei, a lady in her forties, a little fat, a senior manager of a car brand, who has left her job and has rich experience.

There is also Han Jia of Hongxin Software Development Co., Ltd., who is also very good at intelligent systems.

Lu Zixin talked about his idea, Cheng Mu thought for a while, and took the lead in expressing his opinion.

Compared with other professors, Cheng Mu is much younger, only in his early thirties, and he said: "There are several problems with multi-core control of intelligent and efficient motors. It requires the use of high-strength magnet materials, ultra-hard permanent magnet alloys, which is a bit difficult to manufacture. ”

"To increase the horsepower of the motor, it is necessary to have a strong current, so the requirements for the battery must also be increased. If the general electric vehicle battery supports this kind of motor, the power reserve is insufficient, resulting in no increase or decrease in endurance. ”

......

"There is also an electromagnetic brake device, and there is no problem with the auxiliary electromagnetic brake device. However, if it is all braked by electromagnetism, more braking force is required, which will cause the metal sheet to overheat......"

Lu Zixin nodded, and his smart glasses wrote down Professor Cheng Mu's words, and Lu Zixin will solve these problems when the time comes.

Jiang Xunmei said: "Mr. Lu, if your lithium air battery can achieve a theoretical effect, I think there is no shortage of market for this alone." ”

"Then if what you just said is made, what do you expect its market situation to be?" Lu Zixin asked.

"If you can really make it, it will definitely be second to none in terms of performance." However, the current electric vehicle brands, such as Emma, Yadi, and Luyuan, have occupied half of the country, and their product performance is not bad. There are also some foreign brands, and the competitiveness is not bad. ”

"In terms of manufacturing costs, they are definitely cheaper and more competitive. So I estimate that the market sales will not exceed them, but it will not be very bad. ”

Although the theoretical electric car proposed by Lu Zixin sounds good, as a professional, she knows that the manufacturing cost has at least doubled!

As most consumers, would they be willing to pay more than twice the price for an electric car?

"We Hongxin have always only made the most advanced products!" Lu Zixin said, "so we also have to improve its competitiveness and let electric vehicles be included in smart products." ”

Han Jia was surprised: "Mr. Lu, do we want to do unmanned driving of electric vehicles first?"

"Unmanned driving is a separate project, do it, and there is no rush now," Lu Zixin said, "Aren't we just making a smart home system? My idea is to first incorporate our electric vehicle into the intelligent management system, so that it can become a smart product, not an ordinary electric vehicle." ”
