INTRODUCTION OF AUTOMOBILE
An automobile is defined as a vehicle driven by an (IC) internal combustion engine. It is used for the transportation of goods and services.
It is self-propelled vehicle i,e (moves by itself)
Layout of chassis. |
Types of the automobile depend upon transmission
They are
Two-wheelers, three-wheeler, four-wheeler
Types of fuels used to drive vehicles
Petrol, diesel, Electrical (used batteries), compressed natural gas(CNG)
COMPONENTS OF AUTOMOBILE
It has consisted of several components. The main components are
- Chassis
- Structure.
- Power system
- Transmission system.
- Auxiliaries
- Body
Chassis:
A vehicle without a body is termed a Chassis. These chassis consist of components that are.
Engine, suspension system,steeringsystem, Batteries,e.t.c..
Structure
It is one of the main parts in an automobile. It is made up of Steel it has also consist of some parts like frame, suspension, axles, tires
Frame
It is a structural component of a Chassis. It is mainly formed by two side members joined with several cross members. It is made up of a steel section with different shapes like tubular, box type.
The parts like the suspension system, engine e.t.c.. mounted on the Chassis
Uses of the frame are
- To carry the weight of the passengers
- It has provided connecting links from the front and rear axles.
- It should support and withstand the vibrations and loads caused by the sudden braking of a vehicle.
Power system
The heart of the automobile engine, The other name is a power system. the power required to move the vehicle is produced from the engine. In these engines commonly used compression or spark ignition by using petrol or diesel fuels T
Transmission system
Lay out of transmission system |
This system transmits the power from the engine to the driving wheel called a transmission system.
It is also used connect to connect and disconnect driving wheels and engines smoothly.
It also provides high torque in the automobile
It also transmits power In different angles.
Auxiliaries
This equipment is connected to the automobile. The different types of auxiliaries equipment are
Like.
Driving lights,signal lights, motors, Batteries,e.t.c...
Body
The body made up of pressed steel panels, In this body contains the passenger seats, engine fixed place, language space
Requirement of body
- Production cost is less and easy to manufacture.
- It has should be light in weight.
- Fewer vibrations are during the running of the vehicle.
