029: Designing new models
Having made up his mind, Zhao Tian did not hesitate, and began to quickly control the mouse in his hand, tapping the keyboard from time to time.
Zhao Tian decided to build the first car and decided to name it 'Past-Present-Future'.
The past will always be remembered in our hearts, the present will be firmly grasped in our hands, and the future will be wanton and delusional.
The name also basically determines the theme style of the car that will be designed.
When designing, Zhao Tian did not consider whether his company had the basic equipment ability to manufacture this car. Even if it doesn't exist now, Zhao Tian has to design it out, and then create conditions to make it.
With Zhao Tianlong's flying mouse and keyboard, the appearance of a car gradually plumped up on the computer screen.
In terms of overall size design, Zhao Tian designed it to be 4800×1840×1600 (length, width and height) according to his usual driving habits.
In terms of length and width, these two sizes basically meet the size standards of general models. It's just that in terms of height, Zhao Tian adopts a height of one meter six, but it is a bit nondescript in terms of size.
The height of the general sedan is usually less than 1.5 meters, which can make the overall look more pleasing to the eye, and it is also in line with the car concept that the public has been cultivated for a long time.
If you build a CRV or SUV level or above, it will basically be above 1.6 meters, and the SUV level car will basically be at a height of more than 1.7 meters to maintain the ample space in the car and the tall image of the vehicle.
But Zhao Tian just set the height of his first car at 1.6 meters.
When designing the overall car structure, Zhao Tian set the minimum distance between the chassis of this new model and the ground is 14 cm.
Ordinary civilian cars, usually designed chassis from the ground minimum distance of about 10 cm to 20 cm, Zhao Tian's design is in line with the range of cars.
It's just that Zhao Tian clearly marked a matter on the design drawings at the height of the chassis from the ground: the maximum ground clearance is 23 cm, and the chassis needs to be equipped with a pneumatic suspension system.
If you don't guess wrong, the chassis of Zhao Tian's new car has a minimum distance of 14 cm from the ground, which is no different from that of an ordinary car, and the highest ground clearance can reach 23 cm.
If the chassis is 23 centimeters above the ground, there is no doubt that it has reached the standard of ground clearance for a full-size SUV model.
Zhao Tian, this is going to do something!
No wonder Zhao Tian wants to equip the chassis with a pneumatic suspension system.
Pneumatic suspension system, that is, air suspension system, after being installed on the chassis, will be installed near the front wheel and rear wheel of the car ground distance sensor, according to the output signal of the ground distance sensor, the driving computer will judge the change of body height, and then control the air compressor and exhaust valve, so that the spring is automatically compressed or elongated, so as to reduce or increase the ground clearance of the chassis, so as to increase the stability of the high-speed body or the passability when encountering complex road surfaces.
It's just that Zhao Tian's design intention is still difficult to figure out. After all, judging from the current chassis height and vehicle height, it is already a new type of model.
In the trunk design of the new model, Zhao Tian directly designed it as a reserve box with the same space as the car, and the rear tail was designed in the form of a sliding door.
It's just that in the angle design of the trunk door, the inclination of the inner angle of 60 degrees is adopted, which is much higher than the inclination of ordinary vehicles.
The design of the rear of the car is basically a hatchback without a tail, which is also a response to the 'past' in the car's theme, that is, it is completely thrown away and left in the car.
The space of the whole vehicle, with a height of one meter six, although it is not as wide as a full-size SUV, but for ordinary people, such a space is far more stretched than an ordinary small car, and there is no need to worry about accidentally hitting the head when there is a turning action in the car.
This design removes the cramped space of a small car, and avoids the waste of large space of a full-size SUV, making ordinary drivers feel just right.
And this kind of body space is just the concept that Zhao Tian wants to express. Live in the moment, everything is just right. If you have the ability, don't let your thoughts be controlled by others, your life will be disturbed too much by others, and your actions don't need to be too restrained. At the same time, avoid doing things that are beyond your ability, everything is just right, and you will not be trapped by external objects.
In the design of the front of the car, Zhao Tian directly moved out of the database of small C, for the future, everyone has their own fantasy, and each fantasy is a beautiful vision for the future. Zhao Tian directly selected a streamlined model with an aerodynamic resistance coefficient of 7 from the small C database and configured it on this new car.
The model with an air resistance coefficient of 7 has surpassed the limit of current technology, and now the streamlined shape of the car created by science and technology can reach 6 at best, that is, the vehicle must bear at least 70% of the air resistance during the process of extreme speed.
Zhao Tian chose this model with an aerodynamic coefficient of 7, and what caught his eye was a smooth and technologically sound style, except for the two fluent vertical lines on the left and right on the cabin cover, there was nothing else.
The appearance image of the whole vehicle has basically been determined.
The wide body and the sleek front face are the general appearance of this 'past-present-future' model.
In terms of power, Zhao Tian came out of practicality, and did not blindly consider only the big, fierce, and ruthless factors, after all, the right one is the best. Since Zhao Tian wants to build a car of his own style, he naturally sets it according to his preferences.
In the end, Zhao Tian chose the 2.0T displacement engine as the power source of this new car.
The rated output horsepower of this engine is 280Ps, and more than 200 horsepower is enough to support all the activities of this car except for some special uses.
Due to the wide size of this new car, when designing it in terms of safety, Zhao Tian had a whim to design the infrared detection point in his original security system as a change in the infrared detection surface.
From point to surface, the detection area is increased, the accuracy and stability of the detection data are improved, and the safety index of the entire security system is also greatly improved.
But I'm afraid that with the current equipment capabilities of our own company, we may not be able to meet our own design requirements.
Whatever, after the change, although Zhao Tian was worried, since this was his first car in the true sense, he couldn't leave any regrets.
As for the other core components and details, Zhao Tian decided to wait for Lao Chang and Wei Jianping to have a detailed discussion after they had time.
In this way, Zhao Tian's own car can be regarded as designed.
