General Configuration Of Automobile And Different Systems

The configuration are briefly explained below:

               Frame or Chassis
              The Engine 
              The Transmission System: Axles and Wheel ,Suspension system ,cooling system,Braking                      and steering system

                                    

                                                       


         complete transmission system of Automobile

Now, let us learn about 
Frame or Chassis : It is the  basic structure that holds all the components of the automobile which means all the parts are mounted or placed over this frame.  In a typical vehicle frame the forward portion is occupied by the engine and it is connected to the transmission unit(gear box) by an element called Clutch. The front portion has front axile and back portion has rear axle. The Tyres are connected in front and back portion in order to give balance to vehicle. 
      The common  Types of frame or chassis are :  X type and box section Frame
If we have to compare the chassis of car and heavy vehicle.. the chassis of heavy vehicle are uniform (Flat )from front to end. Depending on requirement of load carrying capacity the chassis are designed.


         
The Engine: we can compare the engine of the vehicle to heart of a human..... It is the part which provides power for the vehicle to move... But in Electric vehicles it  is the motor which provides the power

The Transmission system:  As shown above the transmission system has Clutch(control the engine power to gear box), gear box( change the speed of vehicle) and propeller shaft (Rotates during engine on) which transmits the torque from gear box to axle through the differential uniformly for all the wheels for uniform movement of the vehicle

.
  


 Suspension system: Imagine that you are driving a car on road which is not uniform.. and if you want your travel to be smooth on these types of roads then you have to know about the suspension system.. The main purpose of this system is to reduce the wheels to the Chassis so that we can travel smoothly. 


Cooling System: Assume you are driving your vehicle for a long distance continously..so, the vehicle  should have a cooling system in order to increase the life of your vehicle engine. This process is successful due to the invention of Radiator which facilitates the cooling in all types of vehicles.



Braking and Steering System: If you have to have complete control to your vehicle braking ( helps to stop the vehicle or reduce the speed in emergency situation) and Steering system to turn your vehicle and have complete control over your vehicle... 






But in recent  times Autonomous vehicles are making all the above mentioned processes on its own...


In addition to above mentioned methods.. There are some electrical components used in automobile which helps the user comfortable... They are : Battery( for vehicle light, air-condition ,  The starter( for starting the vehicle with help of battery),Ignition system ( in petrol engine) light,wiper, horn and many more.

Steering System In Automobile Engineering

Steering system-A basic understanding It is not possible to run the vehicle always along straight road as road is made as per the topography. Therefore, it is necessary for driver to turn the vehicle now and then as per the road turning. It is purpose of steering wheel and steering column which transmits the rotational motion of steering to steering gears. This steering gear increases the rotational force in order to transmit greater torque to steering linkage which transmits the steering gear movement to front wheel through front axle. The steering system configuration used depends upon the type of vehicle as car or truck. There are mainly 2 types of steering Rack and Pinion type and recirculating ball type   The Function of Steering System:  Is to convert rotary movement of steering wheel into angular turn of front wheel. It helps in swinging the wheels to left and right as per requirements. Absorb large part of the road shocks and prevent them being transmitted to the ...

Types Of vehicle Drive Mechanisms

 Drive Mechanisms: A brief explanation Before knowing about the drive mechanism,let us understand what do we mean by a DRIVE.... DRIVE  is the arrangement (or position) of engine and transmission system in various ways. There are four types of Drives:                                       1.Front Engine Rear wheel Drive.                    2 Front Engine Front Wheel Drive.                    3.Rear Engine and Rear wheel Drive                    4.Four Wheel Drive. 1. Front Engine Rear Wheel Drive:                              This is the most common type of arrangement in 4 wheeled Automobile. Here, engine is positioned in front portion and drive is in back ...

INTRODUCTION TO AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERING

             HISTORY OF AUTOMOBILE           The First Automobile with Otto Cycle (Petrol cycle) was built by Karl Benz from Germany in 1885 and was granted patent  in 1886.. "Development of this great Invension".... Very soon invension of accelerator for speed control and ignition system,clutch,gear shifting mechanism and most importantly radiator cooling system for engine. Later on devoloping the automobile in the year 1888. In 1893  introduction of the first Four Wheeled Automobile which was having a Four stroke engine. Large scale production of automobiles started in 1902. As years went on.. massive scale of automobile production started and revolutionized the industry... Making its importance around the globe. After several modifications and improvements in design of the automobile , the efficiency safety and performance has become the most noticed criteria for automobile enthusiasts.. The Automobile i...
