What's the lower guard? Will the engine sinking be affected by the installation of engine underguard?
A lower guard, also known as an engine guard, is a device used to protect an engine.
Its design is designed to prevent dirt from wrapping the engine, and to avoid the impact of the engine due to the uneven road surface during the driving process, thereby extending the service life of the engine and avoiding the car's breakdown due to external factors. The engine guard plate is an engine protection device designed according to different models, which can effectively protect the engine from damage.
The main role of the engine shield is as follows: First of all, it can prevent the soil from wrapping the engine and prevent the soil from entering the engine compartment and causing damage to the engine.
Secondly, it can reduce the impact of uneven road surface on the engine and avoid engine damage caused by road turbulence.
In addition, the engine shield can also reduce the water vapor and sediment in rain and snow weather into the engine compartment, so as to keep the engine clean and dry. Most importantly, the engine shield can effectively protect the engine from external factors and extend its service life.
The material and form of the engine protection board also vary according to the model, the common materials are steel plate, aluminum alloy, carbon fiber, etc., different materials have different characteristics.
Steel plate protector can provide better protection effect, but the weight is larger; Aluminum alloy plate is lighter, but the protection effect is relatively weak; Carbon fiber shields are lighter and stronger, but more expensive. Different models of the engine shield form is also different, some integral design, some is segmented design.
In general, the engine protection board is a very important automotive device, which can protect the engine from external factors, extend its service life, and improve the safety and reliability of the car. Therefore, when buying a car, we should pay attention to choosing the engine protection plate suitable for our own model, and check and replace it regularly to ensure the normal operation of the engine. The engine lower guard is mounted on the engine bracket and does not affect the sinking function of the engine. Because in the event of a collision, the lower guard will drop with the engine support to maintain the normal position of the engine.
The lower engine protection plate is located directly below the engine and can play a role in protecting the engine. When the car accidentally scratches the bottom while driving, the engine lower guard can effectively prevent engine damage, but also protect other components such as the oil pan from damage.
In the case of slight scraping of the bottom of the car, the protection plate can play a cushioning role, disperse the impact force, and avoid damage to the oil pan. However, when the car is severely scraped, the role of the engine protection board will be relatively small.
In addition to the cushioning effect, the engine guard also prevents the sand on the road from causing damage to the engine or gearbox, providing more comprehensive protection for the car.
After the lower protection plate is installed, the weight of the car will increase, and the fuel consumption of the car will be less affected. Although the impact is small, it is also a shortcoming. In addition, the installation of the lower protection plate may produce abnormal noise and resonance, because the integration of the installed parts with the original car may not be very high.
In general, the advantages of the lower protection plate of the engine are still great, and its protective effect can offset the shortcomings brought by it.
