Chapter 211: Designs

Then he said, "Oh, by the way, you buy a car manufacturing company, and then you change the name of the company, and then we have our brand logo designed, and we will register it together."

There are also international trademarks, brands, patents, etc., which cannot be left behind, and others cannot be allowed to take advantage of the loopholes.

There are too many things during this time, and there are some things that I can't remember for a while, so I'll tell you when I remember them!" Shen Danqing said to Lu Xiaodong with a frown. I can't remember some things, and I'm really anxious.

"Boss, I'm leaving. Lu Xiaodong bowed slightly and said goodbye to Shen Danqing.

"Hmm!Go ahead!" said Shen Danqing with a wave of his hand.

Lu Xiaodong left, and Shen Danqing seized the time to review the official documents. But he didn't know that his busyness had just begun.

It is said that Guo Dong appointed him to continue to preside over the meeting after the boss left. After that, he was confused, and the boss only talked about an outline that was not even superficial and left. In the end, he couldn't, so he set up several technical teams according to the several subsystems mentioned by the boss, and divided all the engineers and scientific research personnel in the venue, and even set up technical groups for aluminum alloy wheels and tires. The head of all the teams was from their Institute of Mechanical Technology, as he was only familiar with his own men.

Hastily set up a few technical teams, and Guo Dong went upstairs to ask the boss about the steps.

"Boss, I've divided each system into separate research teams. Which model are we going to design next?" Guo Dong stood in front of Shen Danqing's desk and asked him for instructions.

Shen Danqing thought for a while, and then said to him: "You take the appearance design team to the company's small conference room and wait for me! I will design the model with you." Then he thought about it for a moment and then said to him: "As for the other design teams, except for the chassis design team, the other major parts should be purchased off-the-shelf for the time being! Of course, the best auto parts should be purchased." Some parts that really do not meet our special requirements are designed and manufactured by ourselves. ”

Guo Dong heard the boss's vague words again, and he couldn't help but have a headache. So he had to continue to ask: "Boss, what are the specific auto parts?"

Shen Danqing was also asked by Guo Dong with a headache, how did he know what kind of parts and components they were? He was not an expert in automobile manufacturing. So he frowned and said, "Let's do it! When we have designed a general car shape, you can buy a ready-made car based on a car of the same size as it! What we don't have, how about we design it ourselves?"

"Well, now I understand. Guo Dong nodded and replied. In fact, there are two meanings in his words, and the deeper meaning is that he finally knows that the boss is a complete layman like him.

Of course, Shen Danqing didn't know the other meaning of his words, so he said to Guo Dong very happily: "Well, you go and gather the appearance design team!" Shen Danqing's words have obvious meaning, which is equivalent to sending off guests.

Guo Dong knew what he was doing, and immediately said goodbye to him: "Boss, then I'll call someone, goodbye!"

"Hmm!" Shen Danqing nodded slightly, as if he agreed.

After Guo Dong left, Shen Danqing was thinking about it again. The time is too short, it is impossible to completely design multiple models, except for the appearance of the car, the rest can only buy ready-made car parts instead. It may be a bit difficult to even make the appearance by yourself, but this difficulty must be overcome.

By the time Guo Dong convened a complete car exterior design team, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon. After such a long time, Shen Danqing was confined to heavy official documents, and he had already forgotten about this matter. It wasn't until Guo Dong came to Secretary Liu's office and asked Secretary Liu to inform him that he remembered that there was such a thing. So he immediately stopped what he was doing and walked to the small conference room.

As soon as he entered the conference room, Shen Danqing saw Guo Dong leading several people to stand up and greet him: "Boss." Shen Danqing nodded to them with a smile on his face, and he should respond. Then he walked up to the chair at the head of the table and said to them, "Sit down, everybody!" and then he took the lead and sat down.

Everyone waited for the boss to sit down before they sat down. After the conference room was quiet, Shen Danqing began to say: "This time the exterior design is the top priority, and the other technical teams will not be able to work until we have designed the general appearance of the car."

Although I already have some superficial design concepts, I don't know how to explain them to you for a while. Let's peel back the cocoon and do the same.

First of all, I can be sure that your design tool is 3D modeling software, and SoftNews may not be able to transform it so quickly. Then we'll have to use the superficial version to design the general appearance. More specific designs will have to wait for the new 3D modeling software.

Our first car, which I set as a mid-level luxury sedan within the company, can also be called a high-end business luxury car to the outside world.

So the wheelbase of this car should be a little wider, and I think the figure of about 3200 mm is just right. Therefore, the length of the whole vehicle must reach about 5200 mm to match.

In addition, the length-to-width ratio and aspect ratio of the car must follow the golden section law, so that we can conclude that the width reaches more than 1.9 meters and the height is about 1.5 meters. This data is the so-called golden cube data, of course, this is only for the sedan model, and the data for other models is definitely different. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Danqing saw that everyone was taking notes carefully, so he nodded slightly, and when everyone had memorized it, they all looked at themselves before he continued to speak: "It's set, the overall model data of the car, I'll talk about the specific design details."

First of all, the shape of the car must be streamlined and not as square as the current model. In addition, there should be concave and convex lines to highlight the car's elegant, agile and resolute, no longer a rigid piece.

In addition, the car wheel hub is required to be 24-inch or 27-inch large-size and wide-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, and the wheel spokes must have a sense of power and sportiness. It can't be as rigid as a straight line.

The tire requirement is an ultra-thin non-pneumatic tire, and the solution to the tire elasticity problem is to add a circle of circular holes, which go straight to the entire side of the tire. For the specific design of tires, Dean Guo found a design team to be responsible for the design. The size and strength of the holes depend on the size and weight of the vehicle.

My preliminary estimate is that the sedan is a layer of holes, and the off-road vehicle is a two-circle hole, and the number of holes is too many layers, which not only reduces the strength of the tires, but also is not very beautiful.

Let me talk about two more appearance points. The first one is the front face of the net, the front face of the net, I ask for a family of the net, that is, all models have this kind of imprint, or the gene is more reliable.

I envisioned the front grille as an oval in the style of a sports field, which is just a general shape, and the specific shape is modified according to the model and the overall appearance. For example, trucks should be flattened a little bit, and sports cars should be flattened a little. The arc of the arc can also be changed, sometimes it may be similar to a straight line, in short, depending on the model. As long as it has an oval shape, it's fine.

In addition, the middle mesh should be slightly inward, this degree should not be large, just a little bit. This is also the family symbol of our car brand!

The bezel of the middle grille, I asked for black glossy lacquer, similar to piano lacquer. The mesh is painted with a matte finish, creating a striking visual contrast. In this way, we have a clear difference from the stainless steel frames used by other car manufacturing companies, which is also a kind of family DNA.

The specific shape of the mesh is an ordinary grid, and the size of the hole should consider the wind resistance, if it is too dense, the wind resistance will be large, and if it is too thin, it will not be beautiful, but it is still the first element of beauty, and you should consider it yourself.

The second point is the lights of the car. The light of a car is like a human eye, and it can also convey the spirit. We can't use the boxy shape of other car manufacturing companies today. It should be flexible and changeable, such as: as sharp as an eagle's eye, as flexible as a water droplet shape, as expressive as a human eye, and so on. The specific shape is designed according to the model, in short, it must be flexible.

In addition, the headlights must have daytime running lights, the specific method is to set up 4 LED white lights at equal distances in the outer ring of the high beams, remember, these 4 lights should form a rectangle. In addition, these 4 lights should not be too bright, so as not to flash people's eyes, which is to prevent flashing the eyes of drivers driving on the opposite side.

Also, the headlights of the whole car must not have variegated colors, that is, there can be no yellow shell of the turn signal. This affects the overall aesthetics. For this reason, we also use LED yellow light for turn signals. Small LEDs are arranged in an arrow-shaped pattern. When the light flashes, it flashes in one direction with two or three sets of arrows. This gives the driver on the opposite side an intuitive turn indication. One of these LED turn signals should also be installed on the back of each side of the rearview mirror.

In addition, a set of fog lamps should be designed on both sides of the front envelope of the car. The specific shape needs to be flexible and changeable, in short, aesthetics is the first element.

The rear taillights, I will not be specific, in short, can not be a rigid square shape, requiring flexibility according to the model, but also can not deliberately set the reversing lights and turn signals. The design of the turn signal, I believe you don't need me to know what to do, the reversing lights are also preferably invisible LED white lights, of course, you have a more beautiful design is better, in short, everything is for the sake of beauty.

Also, the lighting should not be a rigid flat design, it can also protrude a little outside to add a three-dimensional effect. You can design the specific shape according to the model. When Shen Danqing said this, he wanted to announce the dismissal of the meeting, but he remembered one of the most important things, that is, the design of the car logo, so the meeting had to continue.
