What are the characteristics of automotive components (general structural parts)
The general structural components of automobiles mainly refer to the components used to construct the body frame and interior, in addition to key safety components and power transmission components. They have the following characteristics:
The general structural components of automobiles mainly refer to the components used to construct the body frame and interior, in addition to key safety components and power transmission components. They have the following characteristics:
1、 Functional diversity
1. Support and connection functions
The general structural components of a car are the basic skeleton of the body, which plays a role in supporting the body coverings. For example, the structural components of the car door frame can support the inner and outer panels of the car door, keeping them in shape and opening and closing normally. At the same time, these structural components also connect various parts of the car, such as the longitudinal beam that connects the front and rear parts of the car, ensuring the integrity of the overall structure of the car.
2. Install basic functions
Provide installation foundation for other components of the car. The installation bracket for car seats is a general structural component that provides a stable installation position for the seat and can withstand the weight of the seat and passengers, while ensuring that the seat does not shift during vehicle operation, ensuring passenger safety and comfort.
2、 Material characteristics
1. Multiple material applications
Generally, structural components will use multiple materials according to different functional requirements. For example, in the body frame section, high-strength steel is often used to ensure strength and reduce weight. High strength steel has high yield strength and tensile strength, and is not easily deformed when subjected to large external forces, effectively protecting the safety of passengers in the car.
For some interior structural components inside the car, such as the center console frame, engineering plastics may be used. Engineering plastics have the characteristics of good formability, light weight, and corrosion resistance. They can not only meet the complex design requirements of interior parts, but also reduce the weight of the entire vehicle and have a certain degree of chemical corrosion resistance.
2. Good processability of materials
These materials generally have good processability. For example, metal structural components can be processed through processes such as stamping and welding. Stamping technology can quickly process metal sheets into the desired shape, such as the frame structure of a car roof. Through large stamping machines, steel plates can be stamped into frames with complex shapes to meet the requirements of car body design.
For plastic structural components, injection molding is a common processing method. By heating and melting plastic particles through injection molding machines and injecting them into the mold cavity, various exquisitely shaped interior structural components can be manufactured with high production efficiency, suitable for large-scale production.
3、 Design Features
1. The shape and size meet the requirements of the vehicle body
The shape and size of the general structural components of a car are determined based on the overall design concept and spatial layout of the car. For example, the shape and size of structural components such as the A-pillar, B-pillar, and C-pillar of a car need to consider both the exterior design of the vehicle and the interior space requirements. Their design should ensure sufficient strength and rigidity for the vehicle body without affecting the driver's field of view.
At the same time, the size of these structural components also needs to consider their coordination with other parts, such as the size of the door structural components matching the size of the body opening correctly, to ensure that the door can be installed and closed smoothly, and to ensure good sealing performance.
2. Consider ergonomics
We will fully consider ergonomics in the design process. For example, the position, height, and shape of structural components such as car armrests are designed based on the natural posture and movement of the human arm. This can enable passengers to use the handrails naturally and comfortably during the ride, improving the comfort of the ride.
The adjustment structure of car seats is also the same. By designing the adjustment mechanism reasonably, passengers can easily adjust the position, angle and other parameters of the seat to adapt to different body types and riding habits.
4、 Reliability and durability
1. Tolerate various working conditions
The general structural components of automobiles need to be able to withstand various working conditions during use. Under normal driving conditions, it should be able to withstand the weight of the vehicle, passengers, and cargo, and be able to resist the action of inertial forces during acceleration, deceleration, and turning.
For example, some structural components of the car chassis must be able to withstand the impact force from the road surface when the vehicle is driving on bumpy roads, and ensure that the chassis components do not loosen or deform, ensuring the stability and safety of the vehicle's driving.
2. Long term stable performance
In order to ensure the service life of automobiles, general structural components need to have good durability. During long-term use, they should be able to resist the erosion of environmental factors such as rainwater, sandstorms, ultraviolet rays, etc., and avoid rusting, aging, and damage.
Exterior structural components like car body skirts are usually surface treated (such as painting, galvanizing, etc.) to enhance their corrosion resistance and maintain stable appearance and performance over many years of use.
