What is the car engine lower guard
automobile engine lower protection plate is a protective device installed under the engine, its main function is to prevent foreign matter such as sand, gravel and mud on the road from splashing into the engine, oil pan, gearbox and other important components during the vehicle running. These foreign objects may not only cause scratches on the surface of the parts, but also may cause serious mechanical failures, such as oil leakage caused by oil pan rupture.
Material and function
There are many kinds of materials, common hard plastic, resin, steel, plastic steel and aluminum alloy. Different materials have advantages and disadvantages in weight, strength, corrosion resistance and price:
hard plastic shield : the price is cheap, but the protection effect is average.
resin sheeting : lightweight and affordable, but relatively poor strength and durability.
steel guard : high strength, good corrosion resistance, but large weight, may increase fuel consumption.
plastic steel shield : combined with the advantages of a variety of materials, such as high strength, light weight, corrosion resistance, but the price is relatively high.
aluminum alloy protection plate : light weight and high strength, favored, but the price is higher.
Installation and maintenance
The installation of the engine lower protection plate should follow the manufacturer's installation instructions to ensure the matching degree with the model and the engine. Regular maintenance and maintenance is also necessary, including cleaning the surface of the guard and checking for wear. If the guard plate is found to be worn or deformed, it should be replaced in time to ensure continuous protection of the engine and chassis components.
The main functions of the lower protection plate of the automobile engine include the following points :
Protection of engine oil pan : The protection plate can prevent hard objects on the road such as rocks, cement, etc., from directly impacting the engine oil pan, so as to protect the oil pan from damage .
to prevent soil and debris from entering the engine room : the protection plate can effectively prevent soil and debris from entering the engine room, keep the engine room clean and reduce the damage to other parts .
Protect the parts and lines around the engine : the protection plate can prevent the splash of sand and mud to the parts and lines around the engine to cause damage, extend the service life of the vehicle .
enhance vehicle durability and reliability : By protecting the engine and its surrounding components, the protection board can improve the durability and reliability of the vehicle, reduce the failure caused by external factors and maintenance needs .
Different types of protective plate materials and application scenarios :
Armor protection plate : usually made of manganese steel plate above 3 mm or aluminum alloy plate above 6.5 mm, suitable for hard off-road vehicles, can effectively prevent serious road impact .
common protection board : mainly used to isolate the dirt on the chassis and enhance air flow guidance, suitable for daily city driving and ordinary road .
Necessity of mounting engine lower guard :
Protection under bad road conditions : in mud, sand and other bad road conditions, the protection board can effectively prevent the engine from impact and damage, to avoid the engine damage caused by the splash of small stones .
