Chapter 128: The Fun of Engineering Men
The chassis of the car determines the grade of the car.
Whether a car drives smoothly, whether the braking is sensitive, whether the handling is smooth, whether the transmission is timely, and whether there is noise when running are all related to the chassis.
After Xu Fei's first test failed, he built a number of large clockwork cars again with the help of the basic production line according to the engine layout provided by the mechanical engineer.
The hull was then removed and the vehicle was started to run over the ......
After a whole morning of busy work, I finally got a set of semi-finished products that were quite satisfactory.
Unlike the iron cabinet chassis of the chariot, it is a set of 'I'-shaped metal frames made of high-manganese steel alloys.
Due to the use of full-time four-wheel drive scheme, the front end of the word "work" is called the steering drive axle, the rear end is called the drive axle, and the middle is called the drive shaft.
According to the 'suspension' scheme designed by the mechanical laboratory, it borrows the mechanical leg structure of the horror spider, and uses a five-link + stabilization device in the combat vehicle fire control system in the front and rear.
For example, when the car is driving at high speed, turning left or right suddenly, the four wheels are constantly changing their attitude under the action of the lateral stabilizer bar and independent suspension, so that the body is like a chicken head, no matter how it runs, it is always at the same level to avoid the risk of rolling.
According to the simulation data given by the computer that comes with the basic production line, the Elk tested 90km/h, which directly killed the world's No. 1 Citroen V6 at 85km/h.
However, Xu Fei only recently discovered that the base computer is deceptive.
Like the parameters of the assembled M8, they are exactly the same as the Grizzly Bear.
But against the two, the Grizzly Bear Chariot is afraid that it will not be able to beat five M8s.
Especially in the 'drag racing' link, the assembled version of the M8 collapsed several bolts and the turret was crooked under the control of the horse......
Therefore, the data of the automobile chassis simulation test can only be used as a reference.
The real effect needs to be measured.
Eating two steamed buns at noon, everyone continued to work.
With the chassis and suspension, the next step is to design the wheels and tires, and determine the diameter, tire pressure, cross-section, and grip......
In addition, the No. 1 Mechanical Laboratory designed a 'blasting airbag', which first disassembled the horror robot, extracted a trace amount of fraud from the oversized boom~, and then used the fiber material to make a compressible airbag...... After the chip is activated, the deception detonates, causing the airbag to inflate instantly.
However, various crash tests will be required to make it, and this matter will be discussed later.
No. 2 mechanical laboratory design stalls, center console housing......
Electrical Lab No. 1 designs circuits, sound, lighting, ......
Electrical Lab 2, dismantling the vehicle radio and making the player......
Engineers who are not stationed in the mechanical lab dismantle other horror robots and integrate radar and infrared equipment......
With only one prototype being built, all projects proceeded at a rapid pace.
In less than an hour, Xu Fei was given an ugly framed version of the Red Flag.
The body has not yet been designed, and there is no data on length, width and height.
However, according to the specifications of the chassis, it is speculated that the length is not less than 6 meters, the width is 2.1 meters, and the height will reach 1.6 meters.
With all of this in mind, the next step is a crash test to test the upper limit of the energy absorbed by the frame and the protective effect of the airbags.
The test is divided into two parts.
The first is active collision.
A rubber man was produced as the driver, and a small gantry crane was used to send the prototype to the large track of the combat vehicle factory at a set speed of 28 m/s, about 100 km/h.
Then drive a rhinoceros heavy tank and place it horizontally at the end of the track.
The moment it was started, the prototype was sent out like a bullet by the tracks......
The modules that come with the base never disappoint.
The moment the front of the car hit the rhinoceros heavy tank, the steering wheel boomed, and three orange-red airbags popped out, crashing the rubber man and the driver's seat......
The body frame composed of high manganese alloy, in addition to deformation, has not been broken, and obviously does not have much energy absorption effect.
In other words, the harder the frame, the worse the energy absorption effect, but the frame that is easy to break can help the occupants absorb the impact energy.
Of course, the car body must be hard, otherwise one day when you rear-end with a low-end car, people don't have any, but your own house is hit into a mess, isn't it very embarrassing.
At the end of the first round of testing, the engineers sent the damaged prototype to the repair workshop.
With the support of the laboratory, the current mechanical and electrical devices from the outside world can also be repaired here, but the engineer needs to knock it himself, instead of sending it to the workshop for a period of time like the Grizzly Bear Chariot and the Rhino Chariot, and you can get a new one.
Half an hour later.
The second round of testing begins......
An hour later.
Round 3......
Two hours later.
Round 5......
Long.
Proceed to the second link.
That is, passive collision.
Place the prototype car horizontally at the end of the teleportation, and then use the conveyor belt to send the grizzly chariot flying......
The 20-ton iron bump hit the prototype, and the latter instantly popped out the airbag......
Then.
Second round of testing......
The third round of testing ......
The pleasure of engineering men is often so unpretentious and boring......
In order to facilitate the test, Xu Fei was busy, beckoned several engineers, and assembled a few prototypes again.
The No. 1 prototype was scrapped, the parameters were recorded, and it was sent for maintenance.
The No. 2 prototype adjusted the parameters and carried out the test ......
The No. 3 prototype is ready to go......
Wait until evening.
The leader of Dongshan Development and Reform University called.
"Crooked? Uncle Liang. ”
"Xiao Xu, did you use a special channel?"
"yes, poach a few automotive professionals."
"How many? There were more than 300 people, and they called me and asked: What do you want to do? ”
"So much?"
"You don't know?"
"I really don't know, didn't I just become the director of Hongqi Factory, thinking about forming a new company, and I didn't even have a technician in my hand, so I contacted James, chairman of TEP (North America), and asked him to help recruit, and the other party said that he could poach people from Daewoo."
"You're going to find a way to get the identity information of this group of people."
"Uncle Liang, I'm very busy, besides, where can I get it?"
"I've been criticized... Wait, you said you were the director of Hongqi Factory? ”
"Aang!"
"When?"
"It was just finalized the day before yesterday, and it is estimated that we will receive a notice before the end of the year."
"Spin-off from FAW and reorganize Hongqi?"
"Yes."
"Are they willing? You know, there are high subsidies every year. ”
"Listening to Lan Feng, the subsidies in recent years have been used on the Audi A6, and it is impossible to allocate new subsidies in the future."
"That's right...... Okay, I got it. ”
"How do you solve the people I poached?"
"You first find a way to get them hired, and then find me and apply for a job sign."
"Thank you, Uncle Liang."
"Remember to go back and help me get another batch of advanced production equipment."
"Next, I'll move the Daewoo General Factory."
"Then you don't have to."
Xu Fei hung up the phone, thought about it, and contacted Lan Feng.
"Crooked?"
"What's wrong, Xiao Xu?"
"Leader, the prototype has arrived, the people have been recruited, and the production line is already on the way, when will we reorganize Hongqi?"
