A car is composed of thousands of accessories, and during operation, all parts of the car need to work closely together to ensure the normal operation of the car. There are many common car accessories, such as windshield wipers, wiper blades, splash plugs, brake pads, and so on.
It is necessary to have a clear understanding of the functions of car accessories for the repair and maintenance of automobiles. Today, Xiaopei will explain the knowledge of automotive parts to everyone. It is worth knowing for every car owner to ensure driving safety. Let's learn together.
1. Car air filter
The function of this accessory is to filter out suspended dust in the air during engine operation, ensuring clean intake. The air filters on cars are mostly made of paper materials, and the theoretical replacement cycle is about 20000 kilometers. The specific replacement time depends on the usage environment and situation.
2. Automotive air conditioning filter
The function of the air conditioning filter and air filter is the same, filtering out dust or pollen that enters the air conditioning system when the air conditioning is turned on, ensuring the cleanliness of the evaporator and interior air.
3. Gasoline filter
The function of this accessory is to filter out impurities in the fuel, making the post combustion mixture entering the cylinder cleaner. On the one hand, it can protect the engine, and on the other hand, it also makes emissions more environmentally friendly. Most engines are equipped with disposable, non removable paper gasoline filters, with a theoretical replacement cycle of 10000 kilometers.
4. Oil
Engine oil, also known as engine lubricating oil. If the engine is the heart of a car, then oil is the blood of the car. Its main function is to flow in various lubrication areas of the engine during operation, reducing wear between engine components and extending the service life of the engine.
5. Spark plug
In simple terms, the function of a spark plug is to ignite a combustible mixture. Spark plugs can introduce high-voltage current from the battery into the cylinder, generating sparks to ignite the mixed gas in the cylinder, thereby starting the cylinder and starting the engine. Car spark plugs are accessories that need to be replaced regularly. Every time the ignition is started, it will cause certain damage to the spark plugs. Poor driving habits can also lead to more carbon deposits, which will affect the lifespan of the spark plugs.
6. Glass water
The main function of glass water is to clean the windshield and headlights. There are two types of glass water: winter and summer. In winter, glass water with lower freezing points is used according to the local temperature. In summer, glass water is mostly used for cleaning and removing glue.
7. Wiper blade
The function of the wiper blade is to refresh the surface of the windshield during rainy days to ensure a clear view. If the wiper blade does not wipe clean, it needs to be replaced. In theory, the replacement cycle is about one year.
8. Brake pads
Brake pads, also known as brake pads, are the actuators in the braking system, and the quality of brake pads directly affects the performance of braking. When the brake pedal is pressed, the brake pads will be squeezed against the brake disc or drum, friction preventing the wheels from rotating. Different driving habits can cause significant differences in brake pad wear, and the specific replacement time needs to be determined by oneself.
9. Transmission oil
Transmission oil, also known as transmission oil, is mainly used to form a layer of oil film during gear shifting, buffering strong impacts. On the one hand, it can make the gearbox work more smoothly, and on the other hand, it can keep the gearbox clean and extend its service life.
10. Antifreeze
Antifreeze, also known as coolant, its main function is to prevent freezing and cool the engine. Of course, antifreeze is not equal to water. The substances embedded in it can play a role in corrosion prevention and waterproofing.
11. Clutch plate
The function of the clutch plate is to transmit power to the transmission. In general, the clutch plate does not need to be replaced, but if there is a burnt smell, shaking, or difficulty shifting in the car, it is necessary to diagnose and troubleshoot whether there is a problem with the clutch. If there is, it needs to be replaced.
The above is an introduction to commonly used automotive accessories. I hope this article can provide useful references for car owners when choosing and understanding car accessories.
Although cars are complex, as long as we have an understanding of their various parts, we can maintain and purchase them more wisely. In the future, with the advancement of technology, there may be more innovation and changes in automotive parts, but basic knowledge and understanding will always be the key to harmonious coexistence with our beloved cars.
