What is a car horn
The professional name of the automobile horn is the Steering Knuckle, also known as the steering knuckle arm. It is an important part of the automobile steering system, responsible for transmitting and bearing the front load of the automobile, and supporting and driving the front wheel to rotate around the kingpin, so as to realize the steering operation of the automobile.
Definition and location
The car horn is located on the front axle of the car, connecting the front axle and the steering arm. Its shape is somewhat like a goat's horn, so it is commonly known as "goat's horn".
Function and importance
transfer and bearing load : The steering knuckle is responsible for transferring and bearing the front load of the vehicle to ensure the stability and safety of the vehicle during driving.
steering function : It supports and drives the front wheels to rotate around the kingpin, so that the car can smoothly and sensitively respond to the driver's steering command.
bearing impact load : In the process of vehicle driving, the steering knuckle needs to bear the ever-changing impact load, so it must have sufficient strength and stability.
Damage effects and maintenance
If there is a problem with the steering knuckle, such as wear, deformation or damage, the steering performance of the vehicle will be affected, which may lead to insensitive steering, vehicle deviation and other conditions. Therefore, in the daily car maintenance and maintenance, it is necessary to regularly check whether the connection part of the steering knuckle is loose, see whether there is wear or cracks, and repair or replace the damaged steering knuckle in time to ensure the normal driving and driving safety of the vehicle.
The main role of the car's horn (steering knuckle) includes transferring and bearing the front load of the car, supporting and driving the front wheel to rotate around the kingpin, so that the car can steer smoothly. In the process of vehicle driving, the claw needs to bear the variable impact load from the road surface, so it has high requirements for its mechanical properties and shape structure, and is usually designed for high strength to cope with complex stress situations.
The horns are located at both ends of the I-beam in front of the car, and the shape is similar to the horns of the sheep, hence the name. It is not only an important part of the steering system, but also takes into account the installation base of some suspension parts to ensure that the vehicle changes direction stably, smoothly and quickly during driving. If the Angle is deformed or damaged, it may lead to abnormal wear of the front wheel, poor direction return, wheel bearing damage and abnormal noise of the body, which seriously affects driving safety.
Therefore, maintaining the integrity and strength of the horn is an important factor to ensure stable driving and sensitive steering of the car.
A broken horn in a car will show the following main symptoms :
Abnormal tire wear : car Angle damage will lead to tire eating phenomenon, so that the tire uneven wear. In the process of driving, the vehicle may run off.
brake jitter : Angle damage may affect the normal operation of the brake system, resulting in brake jitter.
bad return : damaged horns may cause the steering wheel to fail to return normally during driving, affecting the driving experience.
abnormal body noise : When the horn is damaged, there may be an abnormal body noise, which may persist during the driving process.
driving direction deviation : the incorrect position of the tire will cause the direction of the vehicle to be unstable during driving, and it is easy to deviate from the scheduled driving track.
reduced braking efficiency : damage to the horns may have an adverse effect on the brake system, which may result in poor brake response or even brake function failure.
suspension device damage : as an important part of the suspension system, the damage of the horn will have an impact on the stability of the entire suspension device, and may eventually lead to the suspension system damage.
Jitter in motion : The instability of the suspension system will cause the vehicle to produce significant jitter sensation while driving.
the role of automobile horn : automobile horn (steering knuckle assembly) is an important part of connecting wheels and suspension. Its main function is to bear the load on the front of the car, support and drive the front wheel to rotate around the kingpin, so that the car can run stably and transfer the direction of travel sensitively.
Maintenance and inspection recommendations : When the above symptoms are found in the vehicle, it is recommended to check and repair the car horn in time to ensure the normal operation of the vehicle and driving safety. Regular inspection of the condition of the horn, timely replacement of damaged parts, can effectively avoid the occurrence of the above problems.
