6、ese are commonly referred to as convertibles.轿车车身为封闭式，乘员通过车门进出，轿车最多有4个车门。另外车身的设计还应考虑行李和货物的存放。传统的轿车都是硬顶车身。活顶乘用车（敞篷车）的车顶是软顶，车身设计与普通轿车类似，但只有两个车门。行李箱行李 =？发动机/发动机罩Trunk/bootLuggage/baggageEngine/hook/bonnetThe utility or pick-up carries goods.Usually it has stronger chassis components and suspension than

10、s,but a large number of wheels and axles can be used.Sometimes articulated buses are used to increase capacity.Buses and coaches can be single-deck or double-deck.Buses are commonly used in cities as commuter transports while coaches are more luxurious used for long distances.客车和长途汽车一般有4个车轮，车架为整体式，也

11、能配备更多的车轮和车桥。为了增加客车的载客量往往使用由铰链连接的客车。公共汽车和长途汽车有单层和双层两种。公共汽车一般用城市内公共交通，而长途汽车一般用于长距离的旅行。single-deck busdouble-deckerArticulated busCoach1.2 EngineThe engine acts as the power unit.The internal combustion engine is most common:this obtains its power by burning a liquid fuel inside the engine cylinder.The

12、re are two types of engine:gasoline(also called a spark-ignition engine)and diesel(also called a compression-ignition engine).Both engines are called heat engines;the burning fuel generates heat which causes the gas inside the cylinder to increase its pressure and supply power to rotate a shaft conn

13、ected to the power train.发动机/内燃机/汽油（点燃式）/柴油（压燃式）/热力发动机/动力传动系发动机作为动力设备，常见的类型是内燃机，其原理是通过发动机缸内的液体燃料燃烧而产生能量。发动机可分为两类：汽油机（点燃式）和柴油机（压燃式），都属于热力发动机。燃料燃烧产生热量使缸内气压上升，产生的能量驱动轴旋转，并传递给动力传动系。The way engine cylinders are arranged is called engine configuration.In-line engines have the cylinders in a line.The desig

14、n creates a simply cast engine block.In vehicles applications,the number of cylinders is normally from 2 up to 6.Usually,the cylinders are vertical.As the number of the cylinders increase,the length of the block and crankshaft can become a problem.One way to avoid this is with a V configuration.The

15、design makes the engines block and crankshaft shorter and more rigid.发动机的布置即发动机气缸的排列方式。发动机缸体按直线排列的即直列式，这种布置使得发动机缸体结构简单。汽车发动机一般为26缸，通常气缸是垂直放置的，但气缸数量的增加会导致缸体和曲轴的长度过大，解决问题的措施之一就是采用V型布置，这种布置方式可以使发动机缸体和曲轴长度尺寸更短，从而大大增加刚度。The basic cylinder arrangements of a diesel or gas-burning engine are:cylinder-in-lin

16、e;V-arrangement and Flat.An engine located at the front can be mounted longitudinally and can drive either the front or the rear wheels.Rear engine vehicles have the engine mounted behind the rear wheels.The engine can be transverse or longitudinal and usually drive the rear wheels only.前置发动机可以纵向布置，

17、能够驱动前轮或后轮。后置发动机布置在后轮后侧，发动机即可纵向布置又可横向布置，一般只能驱动后轮。Internal combustion engine:内燃机、外燃机Cylinder:汽缸 圆柱体Gasoline/diesel：汽油 柴油 Ignition：点燃 igniteShaft/Crankshaft:轴 曲轴TransmissionConfigurationLongitudinal：纵向Transverse：横向1.车身2.轿车3.变速器4.发动机罩5.铰接式客车6.皮卡7.行李箱盖8.造型、外形9.货物10.行李 body Sedan/saloon transmission Hood/

19、运行部分的各系统组成，包括动力传动系、转向系统、悬架和制动系统。1.3.1 Power train system:Clutch(torque converter/fluid coupling)离合器（液力变矩器）Transmission 变速箱 Driveshaft 驱动轴 final drive 主减速器 differential gear 差速器driving axle 驱动桥Top and side view of a typical manual transmission,in this case a Ford Toploader,used in cars with typical e

20、xternal gear shifter.driveshaftFinal drive/DifferentialDriving axles 传动系把发动机输出的扭矩传递给驱动轮。传动系包括离合器（对应机械变速器）或液力变矩器（对应液力自动变速器）、变速器、驱动轴、主减速器、差速器和驱动桥。有些传动系采用由变速器、主减速器和差速器组成的一体式的变速驱动桥。（有时采用一个独立的变速驱动桥，即变速器在同一个箱体内。）对于采用机械变速器的汽车，其发动机扭矩由离合器传递给变速器或变速驱动桥，并通过离合器来控制发动机和传动系的啮合或分离。变速器包含了不同传动比的齿轮副，能够增加或减小扭矩。变速器处于最低档位

21、时，传递的扭矩最大。汽车起步时需要较大的扭矩，但普通行驶工况需要较小的扭矩，此时应该换用较高的档位，以降低发动机转速。传统的汽车采用前置发动机、后轮驱动，因此需要传动轴把动力从变速器传递给主减速器。主减速器的作用就是在把动力传递给驱动轮之前，降低转速并增加扭矩。对于前置后驱的汽车，主减速器还将驱动的旋转方向改变90度。主减速器内的差速器齿轮副，把动力分给两个驱动轴，并允许两边车轮在转向时具有不同的转速。动力最终由驱动轴传递给车轮。后轮驱动汽车的驱动桥应能满足悬架的运动，可以是刚性的或包含运动副。为满足悬架和转向的要求，前轮驱动汽车驱动轴上需安装万向节。自动变速器或自动变速驱动桥的功能和机械式基

22、本类似，区别在于档位的选择是液力或电力控制的。液力自动变速器采用液力变矩（耦合）器传递动力。1.3.2 Steering system:转向系统The direction motion of vehicle is controlled by a steering system.A basic steering system has 3 main parts:a steering box connected to the steering wheel,the linkage connecting the steering box to the wheel assembly at the fron

24、ft.转向系控制汽车行驶方向，一般由三部分组成：与转向盘相连的转向器、连接车轮和转向器的传动结构、允许车轮转动的前悬架部件。当驾驶员转动方向盘时，转向柱内的轴带动转向器运动，然后通过转向传动机构来转动车轮，从而使得汽车向左或向右行驶。1.3.3 suspension system:悬架系统缓冲减震 传力导向Ford model T suspension MacPherson strut 整个悬架系统的作用是隔离来自路面的冲整个悬架系统的作用是隔离来自路面的冲击和振动对车身的影响，防止传递给乘员击和振动对车身的影响，防止传递给乘员和货物。另外不论路面如何，悬架系统都和货物。另外不论路面如何，悬架

25、系统都应该保持轮胎和路面接触。悬架系统的基应该保持轮胎和路面接触。悬架系统的基本组成包括弹性元件、本组成包括弹性元件、车桥车桥、减震器、杆、减震器、杆系（臂、杆）和球副组成的导向机构。系（臂、杆）和球副组成的导向机构。The purpose of the complete suspension system is to isolate the vehicle body from road shocks and vibrations,which will otherwise be transferred to the passengers and load.It must also keep t

26、he tires in contact with the road regardless of road surface.A basic suspension system consists of springs,axles,shock absorbers,arms,rods and ball joints.弹簧是悬架的弹性元件，常见的弹簧类型有：钢板弹簧、螺旋弹簧和扭杆弹簧。现代汽车大多采用小的螺旋弹簧，轻型商用车常采用的螺旋弹簧比一般乘用车的大得多，或者前悬架采用螺旋弹簧，后悬架采用钢板弹簧。重型商用车则通常采用钢板弹簧或空气弹簧。车轮必须能支撑整车重量，并能承受正常工况下的载荷。同时为了

27、最小化簧下质量应尽量减小车轮质量。车轮可采用双面钢化板压制而成，也可采用铸造的铝合金材料。除了外观漂亮之外，铝合金比钢更轻，因此铝合金车轮应用较广。另外铝合金导热性更好，因此制动器和车轮产生的热量更容易被铝合金车轮散发。轮胎在汽车和路面之间起缓冲作用，减小路面冲击的影响。同时轮胎也提供了车轮行驶所需的摩擦力。轮胎是由多种材料加工而成，橡胶多是人工合成的。最常见的轮胎类型是子午线轮胎和斜交轮胎。现在大部分乘用车都采用子午线轮胎，在四轮驱动和商用车上，子午线轮胎也正在取代斜交胎。有内胎的充气轮胎用内胎来密封内部气体。无内胎的轮胎则要求车轮和轮胎具有很好的密封性，这就需要专用的密封件，可以紧固在轮缘

28、上，也可用螺钉和密封圈来固定。1.3.4 Braking system:制动系统机械 液压 气压 ABS：控制制动强度，防止车轮锁死Drum brakes 鼓式制动器Disc brakes 盘式制动器Drum brakes have a drum attached to the wheel hub,and braking occurs by means of brake shoes expanding against the inside of the drum.With disc brakes,a disc attached to the wheel hub is clenched betw

29、een two brake pads.鼓式制动器的制动鼓和轮毂连接，制动蹄张开压紧制动鼓鼓式制动器的制动鼓和轮毂连接，制动蹄张开压紧制动鼓内侧从而产生制动。在盘式制动器上，连着轮毂的制动盘内侧从而产生制动。在盘式制动器上，连着轮毂的制动盘被紧紧夹在两个制动块之间。轻型汽车上都采用液压制动被紧紧夹在两个制动块之间。轻型汽车上都采用液压制动系统，制动踏板控制制动主缸，通过液压管路与车轮上的系统，制动踏板控制制动主缸，通过液压管路与车轮上的制动轮缸相连。现在轻型汽车上的制动器，前轮采用盘式制动轮缸相连。现在轻型汽车上的制动器，前轮采用盘式，后轮采用鼓式，或全部采用盘式。相比鼓式制动器，盘，后轮采用鼓

30、式，或全部采用盘式。相比鼓式制动器，盘式制动器需要更大的作用力。在制动时采用增压器以增加式制动器需要更大的作用力。在制动时采用增压器以增加作用在主缸上的制动力。作用在主缸上的制动力。重型商用车多采用气压制动系统，压缩气体作用在直径较大的膜片上时能为制动总成提供较大的制动力。气压制动系统靠空气压缩机把气体吸入储气罐。驾驶员控制阀门开启，使压缩气体进入车轮制动气室进行制动。在铰接车辆的拖车上采用继动阀和单独的储气罐，以减小拖车制动系统的时间延迟，这种布置方式还可以在拖车失去动力时制动拖车。所有汽车必须安装至少两套独立的制动系统，即行车制动系统与紧急制动系统，一般被称之为脚制动和停车制动。大部分轻型

31、汽车的脚制动通过液压系统作用在四个车轮上，而其手制动则是机械式的，且仅作用在后轮。手制动的一个普通用途就是停车时对汽车进行制动。设计两套独立的制动系统的目的就是当一套失效时，另一套仍可工作。1.4 Electrical systemThe electrical system supplies electricity for the starter,ignition,lights and heater.The electricity level is maintained by a charging circuit.电器系统为起动机、点火系、照明和加热设备提供电流，电流的大小由充电电路来维持。Charging 充电系统为汽车上所有的电器系统提供电能。充电系统主要组成部分有：蓄电池、交流发电机、稳压器（多集成在发电机中），充电指示灯和组成电路的电线。汽车起动时由蓄电池提供能量，一旦发动机开始工作，交流电机为电气设备供电，同时还对蓄电池进行充电，以补偿起动所消耗的电能。稳压器则防止过载。
