3、,New Words,1.1 Basic Parts of Automobile 1.1.1 Engine,New Words,1.1 Basic Parts of Automobile 1.1.1 Engine,New Words,1.1 Basic Parts of Automobile 1.1.1 Engine,Todays average car contains more than 15,000 separate, individual parts that must work together. These parts can be grouped into four major
4、categories: engine, body, chassis and electrical equipments，see Fig.1-1.,Fig.1-1 basic parts of a car,1.1 Basic Parts of Automobile 1.1.1 Engine,The engine acts as the power unit. There are two types of engine: gasoline engine (also called a spark-ignition engine) and diesel engine (also called a co
5、mpression-ignition engine). All engines have fuel, exhaust, cooling, and lubrication systems. Gasoline engines also have an ignition system. The ignition system supplies the electric spark needed to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders. The fuel system stores liquid fuel and delivers it to t
6、he engine. The fuel is mixed with air to form a combustible mixture in the carburetor, the manifold, or the cylinders themselves. The cooling system removes excessive heat from the engine. Air and a coolant are used to carry away the heat. The lubrication system is important in keeping the engine ru
7、nning smoothly. Motor oil is the lubricant used in the system.,1.1 Basic Parts of Automobile 1.1.1 Engine,An automobile body (Fig.1-2) provides a protective covering for the engine, passengers, and cargo. The body is designed to keep passengers safe and comfortable. The body styling provides an attr
8、active, colorful, modem appearance for the vehicle. It is streamlined to lessen wind resistance and to keep the car from swaying at the driving speeds.,1.1.2 Body,1.1 Basic Parts of Automobile,Fig.1-2 An automobile body,The chassis includes the power train, suspension, steering, and brake systems. T
9、he power train system comprises clutch, transmission, propeller shaft, rear axle and differential and the driving road wheels. The clutch or torque converter has the task of disconnecting and connecting the engines power from and to the driving wheels of the vehicle. The main purpose of the transmis
10、sion or gearbox is to provide a selection of gear ratios between the engine and driving wheels, so that the vehicle can operate satisfactorily under all driving conditions. Gear selection may be done manually by the driver or automatically by a hydraulic control system. The function of the propeller
11、 (drive) shaft is to transmit the drive from the gearbox to the input shaft of the rear axle and differential assembly. Flexible joints allow the rear axle and wheels to move up and down without affecting operation. The rear axle and differential unit transmits the engines rotational power through 9
12、0 from propeller shaft to axle shaft to road wheels. A further function is to allow each driving wheel to turn at a different speed when cornering. A third function is to introduce another gear ratio for torque multiplication.,1.1 Basic Parts of Automobile 1.1.3 Chassis,The basic job of the suspensi
13、on system is to absorb the shocks caused by irregular road surfaces that would otherwise be transmitted to the vehicle and its occupants, thus helping to keep the vehicle on a controlled and level course, regardless of road conditions. The steering system provides the means by which the front wheels
14、 are directionally turned. The steering system may be power assisted to reduce the effort required to turn the steering wheel and make the vehicle easier to manoeuvre. The braking system on a vehicle has three main functions. It must be able to reduce the speed of the vehicle, when necessary; it mus
15、t be able to stop the car in as short a distance as possible; it must be able to hold the vehicle stationary. Each wheel has a brake assembly, of either the drum type or the disc type, hydraulically operated when the driver applies the foot brake pedal.,1.1 Basic Parts of Automobile 1.1.3 Chassis,Th
16、e electrical system supplies electricity for the ignition, horn, lights, heater, and starter. The electricity level is maintained by a charging circuit. This circuit consists of a battery, and an alternator (or generator). The battery stores electricity. The alternator changes the engines mechanical
17、 energy into electrical energy and recharges the battery.,1.1 Basic Parts of Automobile 1.1.4 Electrical Equipment,Chapter 1 General Information1.2 Classification of Automobile,New Words,New Words,Chapter 1 General Information1.2 Classification of Automobile,Chapter 1 General Information1.2 Classifi
18、cation of Automobile,Motor vehicles can be classified depending on the following features: Uses of vehicle. Motor vehicles can be divided into passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Passenger cars are primarily intended for use in transporting people, as well as their luggage and other small cargo.
19、 The number of seats, including that of the driver, is restricted to nine. Commercial vehicles are designed to transport people and cargo and for pulling trailers, see Fig.1-3. Body shapes. A sedan has an enclosed body with a maximum of 4 doors to allow access to the passenger compartment. The desig
20、n also allows for storage of luggage or other goods. A sedan can also be referred to as a saloon and traditionally has a fixed roof. There are soft-top versions of the same body design except for having 2 doors, and these are commonly referred to as convertibles (Fig. 1-4).,Chapter 1 General Informa
21、tion1.2 Classification of Automobile,Chapter 1 General Information1.2 Classification of Automobile,Fig.1-4 Body shapes,Multi-purpose vans (MPV) can be based on common sedan designs or redesigns so that maximum cargo space is available. The pick-up carries goods. Usually it has stronger chassis compo
22、nents and suspension than a sedan to support greater gross vehicle mass. The bodies of commercial vehicles that transport goods are designed for that specific purpose. Buses and coaches are usually 4-wheel rigid vehicles, but a large number of wheels and axles can be used. Sometimes articulated buses are used to increase capacity. Buses and coaches can be single-deck or double-deck. Buses are commonly used in cities as commuter transports while coaches are more luxurious and used for long distances.,
