Automobile water tank beam vertical plate column role
The main functions of the vertical plate column of the cross beam of the automobile water tank include improving the installation stability, simplifying the structure, lightweight and increasing the front compartment installation space . To be specific:
Improved installation stability : By integrating into the existing water tank fixing device, the installation stability of the water tank beam can be improved, thus omitting the support rib and connection point between the water tank beam and the reinforcing plate on the wheel cover.
Simplified construction and lightweight : This design simplifies the construction and achieves lightweight. By removing traditional support ribs and connection points, the tank beam vertical plate columns not only strengthen themselves, but also free up valuable forward space .
increase the front compartment installation space : This design not only ensures the strength of the water tank beam, but also increases the front compartment installation space, and improves the performance and practicability of the vehicle .
In addition, the tank beam vertical plate column also performs other important functions in automotive design:
to ensure the torsional rigidity of the frame and bearing longitudinal load : the lower protection beam of the water tank is connected by riveting mode to ensure the torsional rigidity of the frame and the ability to bear longitudinal load, and support the key parts of the vehicle .
Automobile water tank beam, vertical plate and column definition and their role in the body structure :
Water tank beam : the water tank beam is a part of the car body structure, usually located at the bottom of the car, the main role is to disperse and absorb the impact when the vehicle is impacted, to protect the safety of the occupants of the car. The shape of the beam is usually rectangular or trapezoidal, which varies depending on the type and design of the vehicle. They are usually made of high-strength steel and are held together by welding or other means of joining .
water tank vertical plate : The water tank vertical plate is the support structure that fixes the car water tank and condenser, usually called the water tank frame. The material of the tank frame can be metal, resin or a mixture of metal and resin. The water tank frame has a variety of structural styles, including non-removable and removable. The non-removable tank frame is usually fixed by spot welding, while the removable tank frame may be bolted. The damage to the tank frame is very important in the crash car identification because replacing the tank frame may damage the body frame .
column : The column is an important part of the automobile body structure, mainly including A pillar, B pillar, C pillar and D pillar. Pillar A is located on both sides of the front windshield and mainly withstands frontal impact; The B-pillar is located between the front and rear doors and mainly withstands side impact; The C-pillar is located on both sides of the rear windshield of the three-car or two-car, mainly to prevent rear-end collision; Commonly found in SUVs and MPVS, the D-pillar is located at the rear of the body where the roof meets the compartment and is primarily subject to side impacts and rollovers .
The strength of the column directly affects the impact resistance of the body, the higher the strength, the stronger the impact resistance of the body .
Influence and treatment method of fault of cross beam, vertical plate and column of automobile water tank :
Fault impact :
tank damage : damage to the beam, vertical plate and column of the tank may cause damage to the tank, which may affect the normal operation of the cooling system, may cause engine overheating, and even lead to more serious mechanical failure .
cooling system failure : the failure of the cooling system will cause the engine to overheat, affect the normal operation of the vehicle, and may even cause engine damage .
safety hazards : damage to the tank frame may affect the stability and safety of the vehicle, especially in the event of a collision, the damaged tank frame may not provide adequate protection .
The cause of the fault :
collision damage : when the vehicle is in a frontal collision, the tank frame, beam, vertical plate and column and other components are easy to be damaged .
aging or corrosion : prolonged use or corrosion in harsh environments can also lead to a reduction in the strength of these components, resulting in failure .
Inspection and repair suggestions :
regular inspection : It is recommended to regularly check the status of the frame, beam, vertical plate and column of the water tank, and timely discover and deal with potential problems .
Professional maintenance : If these parts are found to have cracks or deformation, professional maintenance or replacement should be carried out in time to ensure the safety and stability of the vehicle .
replacement standard : When replacing these parts, original parts should be used and maintenance process specifications should be ensured to restore the safety performance of the vehicle .
