Chapter 484: The gearbox gets in the way
"Yes. Having said all this, how is this bag of old children progressing during this time?" Jiang Chen asked as he looked at Dongzi.
"It's going fast. Dongzi diǎn head said: "Didn't we say before, to develop these three models, I won't divide them specifically." First of all, the first one, which is our high-horsepower sedan. Because we had previous experience in developing this car, and we imported a large number of samples of this car from abroad, we made rapid progress in this aspect. At present, the overall design and completion of this car, and the first prototype has come out, from the results of the current test, it is about 30% higher than the overall performance of our first flag. This is just the first prototype, and there is a lot to improve and the R&D team is currently in the process of experimenting with improvements. And the standard of the car, we are also in accordance with the standards of the European and American systems, the R & D team originally wanted to catch up with this technology, but did not expect to urge our market strategy from the side to develop faster. ”
"Yes, that's good. Jiang Chen said with a smile: "This shows that the vision of our R&D personnel is also very accurate, and it also shows that my development guidelines and policies are in line with reality." ”
"Our second car. Dongzi continued: "That is, this off-road vehicle, to be precise, is an off-road model, two models. The 150 hp gasoline engine for civilian off-road vehicles, and the 200 hp diesel-powered off-road vehicle for military models. As you said, there is a difference between this military off-road vehicle and a civilian off-road vehicle. Military off-road vehicles pay more attention to this passability, that is, off-road performance and mobility, as well as its low-fault line, easy maintenance, easy operation, and a certain degree of protection. And civilian models. Although it also pays attention to these previous performances, in general, it is still not as strict as the requirements of military off-road vehicles, or it is slightly inferior, and it is not as strict as the performance requirements of military vehicle players. So our R&D team felt that we should start with the hardest bones. That is, to develop this military off-road vehicle. As long as this model is successfully developed, then the civilian model will also come naturally, and we only need to weaken and underconfigure the military model. ”
"Yes, that's a good idea. Jiang Chen said in appreciation. The R&D team can look at problems flexibly and changeably, and for Jiang Chen, it can be regarded as a ※(4)dǐng※(4)diǎn※(4)small※(4)Say,.☆.●os_(); This is also the R&D idea he has been advocating. Seeking truth from facts and being flexible to solve difficulties and solve problems. on this. This is what Jiang Chen would be happy to see.
Seeing Jiang Chen's appreciation, Dongzi was also happy, this was a project he was responsible for controlling, and the affirmation of this project was equivalent to an affirmation of him, so he said with a smile: "Because the various technologies of this vehicle are relatively difficult, some technologies are heard for the first time in China, and some are international advanced technologies." So we're moving very slowly. For example, although we have a high-horsepower engine. However, the development of a high-horsepower transmission for the engine was delayed. The transmission on our previous sedan is only suitable for cars with less horsepower and less torque. And the transmission that the off-road vehicle needs, he needs to use a high-horsepower engine, otherwise, this transmission may be too powerful because of the engine. This transmission wears out quickly and then breaks. In the case of this transmission, for example, it also needs to adapt to the high torque of this engine. This involves the resistance of the gears and rotation devices in this transmission, the shooting resistance, and the toughness and sturdiness of the materials. In the difficult section, the speed of the car cannot be increased, so it all depends on the torque of the engine, and then the guò. At this time, if the material in the transmission is not up to par. Assuming that the toughness of the material is weak, it will cause the damage to break directly during the re-stress process. Anyway, the toughness is OK, but the strength is not enough, so in the process of being stressed greatly, the parts inside the transmission may be deformed due to excessive force, which will calmly affect the normal operation of the transmission, or be directly damaged. ”
"Well, that's a problem. Jiang Chen frowned and looked at Dongzi and asked, "Then do we have any plan to deal with it?"
Dongzi shook his head and said: "Our R&D personnel, our experts have disassembled a large number of transmissions from famous foreign manufacturers, and found that foreigners are indeed very advanced in the technology of this transmission. Of course, we also learned about new design solutions and design concepts. But it was a lot of times and it still failed. In the end, our experts agreed that the quality of our materials was not good enough to reach the level of the materials in these high-horsepower transmission transmissions. Therefore, this matter has turned back to the original place, and in the end it is a matter of materials, so we handed over this issue to the material real room. This is also the reason why two new sets of furnaces have been purchased in the material room. ”
Jiang Chen agreed when he heard this: "The material aspect is indeed our shortcoming, and we can't help it." What does the material really say over there, is there any progress? ”
Dongzi sighed and then shook his head and said, "There is no big progress, and you also know that this material problem will not be solved in a while." During this time, although they worked hard and came up with a few material samples, they still couldn't reach the hardness we wanted. However, now that these two new furnaces have been installed and are now in this practical phase, I believe that with their help, there should be good news soon. ”
"There's no rush to this. Jiang Chen waved his hand and said, "We all know that this material technology is not a day's work, nor does it mean that it can be studied by research. It takes hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times to be successful. Let's not take their R&D time, or this furnace to refine this real material, it also takes a lot of time for a furnace of material to melt the finished product, so you calculate how long it will take hundreds or thousands of times. This itself is a slow work, but also a patient work, let's not be so anxious, give these R & D personnel too much pressure, go with the flow, when you can succeed, sooner or later will succeed. ”
"I understand. Dongzi looked at Jiang Chen and said, "I have also explained this matter to them, and I have assigned someone to be responsible for their daily life." Even because of their irregular work breaks, we specially prepared cooks and meals for them so that they could eat diǎn hot meals at any time of the day. And all kinds of benefits in the factory, we are excellent guarantees for these R&D departments. Now their treatment can be said to be the best in the whole company, and even the few of us here can't compare. ”
Jiang Chen diǎndiǎn head said: "Yes, who made them have a lot of work." There are a lot of them who are so tired and tired, and for us, you guys should understand more. ”
"Don't worry, Brother Chen, we are not children, everyone can understand. Everyone said. (To be continued.) )
