Carburetor, precision mechanical device

The carburetor is a mechanical device that mixes a certain proportion of gasoline and air under the vacuum generated by the engine’s operation. As a precision mechanical device, the carburetor uses the kinetic energy of the inhaled air flow to atomize gasoline. Its important role in the engine can be called the “heart” of the engine. The complete device should include starting device, idle device, medium load device, full load device and acceleration device. The carburetor will automatically proportion the corresponding concentration and output the corresponding amount of mixed gas according to the different working conditions of the engine. In order to make the mixed gas mixture evenly mixed, the carburetor also has the function of atomizing the fuel. effect for the machine to operate normally.     Classification Carburetors are divided into simple carburetors and complex carburetors. Carburetors can also be divided into downdraft and flat-draft types. Carburetors can be divided into rotary type and lift type based on the type of throttle valve. The rotary throttle is a disc-shaped throttle that rotates around an axis between the carburetor throat and the intake pipe to change the flow area of the intake duct. The lift-type throttle is constructed as a barrel-shaped plate-shaped throttle, which moves up and down at the throat to change the channel area at the throat. This form is often used in motorcycle carburetors. There is also a type of carburetor that is a hybrid form of the two. The rotary throttle is controlled by a human and the lift throttle is controlled by a diaphragm. This is also often used on motorcycles and is called the CV type. Structure A simple carburetor consists of upper, middle and lower parts. The upper part has the air inlet and float chamber, the middle part has the throat, measuring hole and nozzle, and the lower part has the throttle valve, etc. The float chamber is a rectangular container that stores gasoline from the gasoline pump. There is a float in the container that uses the height of the floating surface (oil surface) to control the amount of fuel. The oil inlet at one end of the middle nozzle is connected to the measuring hole of the float chamber, and the oil outlet at the other end is at the throat of the throat. Principle A carburetor is essentially a tube with an adjustable plate in the middle called a throttle plate that controls the flow of air through the tube. There is a constriction in the tube called a venturi where a vacuum is created. This constriction has a measuring hole through which fuel can be sucked in using a vacuum. Atmospheric pressure spreads from high pressure to low pressure. When the piston of a two-stroke engine is at top dead center (or the piston of a four-stroke engine is at bottom dead center), a low pressure develops under the piston in the crankcase (above the piston on a four-stroke engine). At the same time, this low pressure will also cause low pressure in the carburetor. Because the pressure outside the engine and carburetor is higher, air will rush into the carburetor and into the engine until the pressures equalize. The air flowing through the carburetor will carry the fuel, which will then mix with the air. Inside the carburetor is a section of pipe. The throat is the constriction inside the carburetor that forces air to accelerate through it. A river that suddenly narrows can be used to illustrate what happens inside a carburetor. The water in the river will speed up as it approaches a narrowing bank, and even faster if the bank narrows continuously. If the same thing happens inside the carburetor, the accelerated flow of air will cause the air pressure inside the carburetor to decrease. The gasoline enters the carburetor from the fuel tank through the gasoline filter. The gasoline filter can filter out the impurities mixed in the gasoline and the oxide scale in the fuel tank. If the filter quality is defective, some impurities may still enter the carburetor through the filter. In addition, gasoline contains ingredients that can form colloid. After long-term deposition, colloid will condense and adhere to the parts of the carburetor (such as measuring holes), oil passages and the surface of the float chamber. The air enters the carburetor through the air filter. Considering that the air intake resistance cannot be too large and other factors, the filter device cannot be too dense, so some tiny impurities in the air will still enter the carburetor through the air filter. If the filter quality is defective, it will cause more serious effects. Many parts that make up the carburetor oil passage and air passage, such as the main metering hole, idle speed metering hole, main air metering hole, idle air metering hole, main foam tube, etc., all have holes with very small inner diameters (the inner diameter is 0.3 ~1.5mm), the gasoline impurities, colloids and impurities in the air that enter the carburetor will often change or block these pore diameters, causing the carburetor air passage and oil passage to be blocked and the carburetor supply Changes in oil properties may even cause carburetor performance failure. Maintain The normal maintenance of the carburetor is actually to maintain the cleanliness of the carburetor when it leaves the factory. This is controlled as a key indicator of carburetor quality assessment by professional carburetor manufacturers, who use various advanced equipment and processes to Every aspect of production is strictly controlled. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal use of the carburetor, attention must be paid to normal maintenance of the carburetor: clean the carburetor regularly, keep the oil passage and air passage of the carburetor clean, and keep the small holes unobstructed. This is also very important to extend the service life of the carburetor. Many carburetor performance problems can be solved by cleaning the carburetor regularly.

Car seat belt,Prevent airbag deployment injuries

Car seat belts are safety devices designed to restrain the occupants during a collision and to prevent secondary collisions between the occupants and the steering wheel and instrument panel, or to prevent the occupants from rushing out of the car during a collision, resulting in death or injury. Car seat belts, also known as seat belts, are a type of passenger restraint device. Car seat belts are recognized as the cheapest and most effective safety devices. Among vehicle equipment, seat belts are mandatory in many countries.     Origin Seat belts existed before the invention of automobiles. In 1885, when horse-drawn carriages were commonly used in Europe, seat belts were simply used to prevent passengers from falling off the carriage. By 1910, seat belts began to appear on airplanes. In 1922, sports cars on the racing circuit began to use seat belts. By 1955, Ford cars in the United States began to use seat belts. Generally speaking, the seat belts during this period were mainly two-point seat belts. In 1955, aircraft designer Niels invented the three-point safety belt after working for Volvo Car Company. In 1963, Volvo Car Company began to register Niels’ three-point car seat belt and assemble it on its own cars. In 1968, the United States stipulated that all forward-facing seats in cars must be equipped with seat belts. Developed countries such as Europe and Japan have also successively formulated regulations requiring car occupants to wear seat belts. Structure 1. Webbing Webbing is a belt about 50mm wide and 1.2mm thick made of synthetic fibers such as nylon or polyester. Depending on the purpose, the strength, elongation, etc. required by the safety belt can be achieved through weaving methods and heat treatment. characteristic. It is also the part that absorbs conflicting energies. National regulations have different requirements for the performance of seat belts. 2. The retractor is a device that adjusts the length of the seat belt according to the occupant’s sitting posture, body shape, etc., and retracts the webbing when not in use. Divided into ELR and ALR. 3. Fixing mechanism The fixing mechanism includes buckles, lock tongues, fixing pins and fixing seats, etc. The buckle and tongue are the devices for fastening and unfastening the seat belt. The end of the webbing that is fixed to the body is called a fixing plate, the fixed end of the body is called a fixing seat, and the bolts used for fixing are called fixing bolts. The position of the shoulder safety belt fixing pin has a great impact on the convenience of fastening the safety belt. Therefore, in order to suit passengers of various sizes, an adjustable fixing mechanism is generally used to adjust the position of the shoulder safety belt up and down. Principle The function of the retractor is to store the webbing and lock the webbing from being pulled out. It is the most complex mechanical part in the safety belt. Inside the retractor is a ratchet mechanism. Under normal circumstances, the occupants can freely pull the webbing on the seat at a constant speed. However, once the continuous pulling process of the webbing from the retractor stops or when the vehicle encounters an emergency, the ratchet mechanism will act. The locking action automatically locks the webbing and prevents the webbing from being pulled out. Installation fixings are lugs, plug-ins, bolts, etc. that are connected to the car body or seat components. Their installation position and firmness directly affect the protective effect of the seat belt and the comfort of the occupants. Performance 1. Seat belt design elements Seat belts should be designed to meet the requirements of occupant protection performance, reminder to use seat belts, as well as comfort and convenience. The design means to achieve the above points are the selection of the position of the seat belt adjuster, the specifications of the seat belt and the auxiliary devices used. 2. Occupant protection performance The requirements for the occupant protection performance of car seat belts are as follows: restrain the occupant as early as possible; minimize the pressure on the occupant when restraining; keep the restraint position unchanged so that the restraint force avoids the more vulnerable parts of the human body. As a means to achieve the above goals, the use of the pretensioner and force limiter described above significantly improves the performance in these aspects.

Clutch, Transmits engine output power

The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the gearbox. The clutch assembly is fixed on the rear plane of the flywheel with screws. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the gearbox. While the car is driving, the driver can depress or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate and gradually connect the engine and the transmission to cut off or transmit the power input from the engine to the transmission.     The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmission, which can separate or engage the transmission system at any time. Its basic requirements are: smooth joining, rapid and complete separation; easy adjustment and repair; small outer size; small mass; good wear resistance and sufficient heat dissipation capacity; easy and labor-saving operation. Commonly used ones are divided into tooth-embedded and There are two types of friction type. Definition The clutch, commonly known as Jilizi in Hong Kong, comes from the English Clutch. In Taiwanese, it is often called Lizi or Japanese クラッチ. It is a device that transmits the engine power of a car or other power machinery to the axle in the form of a switch. The clutch is installed between the engine and the transmission. It is an assembly in the automobile transmission system that is directly connected to the engine. Usually the clutch is installed together with the flywheel set of the engine crankshaft, and is the component that cuts off and transmits power between the engine and the vehicle’s transmission system. During the entire process from starting to normal driving of the car, the driver can operate the clutch as needed to temporarily separate or gradually connect the engine and the transmission system to cut off or transmit the power output from the engine to the transmission system. Its function is to gradually connect the engine and the transmission to ensure a smooth start of the car; to temporarily cut off the connection between the engine and the transmission to facilitate shifting and reduce the impact of shifting; and to activate the car when the car is under emergency braking. The separation function prevents transmission systems such as transmissions from being overloaded, thus playing a certain protective role. A clutch is similar to a switch, engaging or disengaging power transmission. The active part and the driven part of the clutch mechanism can be temporarily separated, and can be gradually connected, and may also rotate relative to each other during the transmission process. There cannot be a rigid connection between the driving part and the driven part of the clutch. All types of cars have clutches, just in different forms. Principle For manual transmission models, the clutch is an important component of the vehicle’s power system. It is responsible for cutting off and connecting the power to the engine. When driving on urban roads or complex road sections, the clutch has become one of our most frequently used components, and the quality of clutch use directly reflects the level of driving and also plays a role in protecting the vehicle. How to use the clutch correctly and master the principle of the clutch so that it can be used to solve problems under special circumstances is something that every driver who drives a manual transmission vehicle should master. The clutch is divided into three working states, namely non-linkage when the clutch is depressed, full linkage when the clutch is not depressed, and semi-linkage when the clutch is partially depressed. When the vehicle starts, the driver depresses the clutch, and the movement of the clutch pedal pulls the pressure plate backward, that is, the pressure plate and the friction plate are separated. At this time, the pressure plate and the flywheel are not in contact at all, and there is no relative friction. When the vehicle is running normally, the pressure plate is tightly pressed against the friction plate of the flywheel. At this time, the friction between the pressure plate and the friction plate is the largest. There is relative static friction between the input shaft and the output shaft, and the two rotate at the same speed. . The last one is the semi-linked state of the clutch, where the friction between the pressure plate and the friction plate is less than the fully linked state. At this time, there is a sliding friction state between the clutch pressure plate and the friction plate on the flywheel. The speed of the flywheel is greater than the speed of the output shaft, and part of the power transmitted from the flywheel is transmitted to the gearbox. In this state, the relationship between the engine and the driving wheels is equivalent to a soft connection state. Effect 1. Ensure the car starts smoothly This is the primary function of a clutch. Before the car starts, it is natural to start the engine. When the car starts, the car gradually accelerates from a completely stationary state. If the drive train (which connects the entire car) is rigidly connected to the engine, the car will suddenly rush forward as soon as the transmission is put into gear, but it will not start. This is because when the car goes from standstill to forward, it has a large inertia, which causes a large resistance torque to the engine. Under the action of this inertial resistance moment, the engine speed drops sharply below the minimum stable speed (generally 300-500RPM) in an instant. The engine stalls and cannot work. Of course, the car cannot start. Therefore, we need the help of the clutch. After the engine starts and before the car starts, the driver first depresses the clutch pedal to disengage the clutch to disengage the engine and transmission system, then puts the transmission into gear, and then gradually releases the clutch pedal to gradually engage the clutch. During the engagement process, the resistance torque experienced by the engine gradually increases, so the accelerator pedal should be gradually depressed at the same time, that is, the fuel supply to the engine should be gradually increased to keep the engine speed at the lowest stable speed without stalling. At the same time, as the clutch engagement gradually increases, the torque transmitted from the engine to the drive wheels through the transmission system gradually increases. When the traction force is enough to overcome the starting resistance, the car starts to move from a standstill and gradually accelerates. 2. Achieve smooth shifting During the driving process of the car, in order to adapt to the changing driving conditions, the transmission system often needs to change different gears to work. To shift gears in a gear transmission, the gears or other shifting mechanisms are generally used to push a certain gear pair of the original gear out of the transmission, and then put the gear pair of another gear into operation. Before shifting gears, the clutch pedal must be depressed to interrupt the power transmission so that the meshing pair of the original gear can be disengaged. At the same time, the speed of the meshing parts of the meshing pair of the new gear can gradually be synchronized, so that the impact when entering the mesh can be greatly reduced. reduced, resulting in smooth shifting. 3. Prevent drive system overload When the car performs emergency braking, if there is no clutch, the engine will be rigidly connected to the transmission system and its speed will decrease sharply. Therefore, all moving parts will produce a large inertia moment (the value of which may be much greater than that generated by the engine during normal operation). maximum torque), causing a load that exceeds its carrying capacity on the drive train, causing damage to the machine parts. With a clutch, this danger can be eliminated by relying on the possible relative motion between the active and driven parts of the clutch. Therefore, we need a clutch to limit the maximum torque experienced by the drive train to ensure safety.

Next Autopilot trial to test Tesla’s blame-the-driver defense

Epoxy resin is a high molecular polymer with the molecular formula (C 11 H 12 O 3 ) n . It refers to a class of polymers containing more than two epoxy groups in the molecule. It is the condensation product of epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A or polyol . Due to the chemical activity of the epoxy group , a variety of compounds containing active hydrogen can be used to open the ring and solidify and cross-link to form a network structure , so it is a thermosetting resin . Bisphenol A-type epoxy resin not only has the largest output and the most complete varieties, but also new modified varieties are still increasing, and the quality is constantly improving. Epoxy resin has secondary hydroxyl groups and epoxy groups , and the secondary hydroxyl groups can react with isocyanates . Epoxy resin is directly added as a polyol to the hydroxyl-containing component of the polyurethane adhesive . Using this method, only the hydroxyl group participates in the reaction, and the epoxy group fails to react. Use the carboxyl group of the acidic resin to open the epoxy ring, and then react with the isocyanate in the polyurethane adhesive . Epoxy resin can also be dissolved in ethyl acetate , phosphoric acid is added for heating reaction, and its adduct is added to the polyurethane adhesive, which can improve the initial tack, heat resistance , and hydrolysis stability of the adhesive. Alcoholamines or amines can also be used to react to generate polyols. The presence of tertiary nitrogen atoms in the adduct can accelerate the NCO reaction.

Automakers score victory as Energy Department weakens EV mileage rule

Automakers and the United Auto Workers union had lobbied DOE to soften its original petroleum equivalency factor rule. They argued that more aggressive targets would have required them to sell more EVs to meet stricter federal fuel economy standards amid uncertain demand, making it impossible to comply. Environmental groups, including the Natural Resources Defense Council and Sierra Club, asked the Biden administration for stricter MPGe standards in 2021, which had not been updated since 2000. “The automakers’ free ride is over,” said Pete Huffman, senior attorney at NRDC, in a statement. “This important update from the Department of Energy will curtail automakers’ use of phantom credits they used to keep selling gas guzzlers. They now need to hit the accelerator on more fuel-efficient vehicles, saving consumers money at the pump.”     The Department of Transportation uses DOE’s petroleum equivalency factor to calculate MPGe and CAFE, which averages the fuel economy of all vehicles sold by a manufacturer. The old formula equated a battery-electric vehicle with a gas-powered car that gets 300 mpg. Under the new rule, however, an EV’s petroleum equivalency factor equals a gas vehicle that gets 106 mpg. The original proposal would have reduced it further to 84 mpg. “It looks like the administration changed course and adjustments to [the petroleum equivalency factor] will instead phase in over a number of years. That’s positive,’ said the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which represents over 40 automakers, in a blog post Tuesday. The Detroit Three automakers and the UAW had been especially concerned about the rule because General Motors, Ford Motor Co. and Stellantis sell more light-duty trucks than other vehicle manufacturers, potentially exposing them to higher noncompliance penalties for CAFE violations. GM, Ford and Stellantis could have paid up to $10.5 billion in penalties for violating federal fuel economy standards, which would have comprised 76% of all such fines, according to the American Automotive Policy Council, an industry group representing the Detroit Three. The Environmental Protection Agency is set to finalize stricter emissions standards on Wednesday.

GKN Automotive to shutter North Carolina facility

GKN Automotive’s former parent company, Melrose Industries, formed a new public company dubbed Dowlais. Melrose completed its demerger in April 2023, spinning off GKN Automotive, GKN Powder Metallurgy and GKN Hydrogen under Dowlais, while GKN Aerospace remains under Melrose Industries. Dowlais is independent from Melrose.     “We have a clear strategy to create value for our stakeholders by: delivering industry leading financial performance; facilitating the world’s transition to electric vehicles through a portfolio of cutting-edge products; and accelerating growth through a disciplined M&A strategy,” Dowlais CEO Liam Butterworth said in an April 2023 press release. The Timberlake facility is the second North Carolina site GKN Automotive closed in the past year. The auto parts maker closed its facility in Sanford in March of last year, according to a WARN Act post.

Volkswagen, Mobileye expand autonomous driving collaboration

For legacy automakers, collaborating with tech companies like Mobileye can speed up the development and rollout of software-powered technology, including more advanced automated driving systems. Just one in four automakers are fully prepared for software-defined vehicles, according to an AlixPartners survey in January. The same report found that Tier 1 suppliers must adapt to automakers’ needs as the industry pivots to building more software-defined vehicles. The Volkswagen Group has collaborated with Mobileye, owned by chipmaker Intel Corp., on autonomous driving technology since 2018. The technology supplier specializes in computer vision processing for highly automated driving functions and vehicle advanced driver assist systems, such as automatic emergency braking and lane centering control.     As the companies develop more advanced driving systems, Mobileye will provide the automaker with production-ready technologies, including Level-2 automated driving capabilities. In 2026, the Volkswagen Group plans to add a Level-4 automated driving system to a version of the Volkswagen ID. Buzz electric van intended for commercial mobility and transportation services. “Our goal is to offer our customers throughout the world outstanding products with cutting-edge technology,” said Oliver Blume, CEO of the Volkswagen Group and Porsche AG, in a press release. “New automated driving functions will significantly boost convenience and safety.” In addition to working with Mobileye, the Volkswagen Group plans to collaborate with its other partners, including Bosch and Qualcomm, to further develop and refine software-based vehicles.

Alkyd resin

The preparation method of alkyd resin is to condense polyfunctional alcohols, polybasic acids and vegetable oils or vegetable oleic acids. Different types of vegetable oils or fatty acid molecules have different numbers of double bonds, which can be divided into drying, non-drying and Semi-dry alkyd resin. Dry alkyd resin can dry by itself in the air, and its drying is a process in which macromolecules are cross-linked and solidified by oxygen in the air. According to the content of vegetable oil or vegetable oleic acid used, there are short oil, medium oil, long oil, extra long oil and ultra short oil alkyd resin. The manufacturing methods of alkyd resin include melt method and solvent method. The melting method uses polyols, polybasic acids, vegetable oils or vegetable oleic acids to be heated under the protection of inert gas and lipidized at high temperature. When the acid value reaches the required level, solvent is added to dilute it. In the solvent method, the reaction raw materials are reacted in the solvent xylene. As a solvent, xylene can form an azeotrope with water to speed up the reaction. Compared with the melting method, the solvent method requires a lower reaction temperature, the reaction conditions are easy to control, and the synthesized alkyd resin is lighter in color. The performance of alkyd resin is related to the type of oil. The performance also varies with the molecular weight and structure. It is widely used in paints, coatings, ships, etc. Application areas    alkyd resins.glycerol-phthalic resin., oil-modified polyester resin formed by the condensation polymerization of polyol , phthalic anhydride and fatty acid or oil (glyceryl fatty acid ester) . According to the number and structure of double bonds in fatty acid (or oil) molecules, it can be divided into three categories : dry , semi-dry and non-dry. Drying alkyd resins can be cured in the air; non-drying alkyd resins must be mixed with amino resins and cured by heating. In addition, alkyd resins can also be divided into four oil degrees : short, medium, long and very long according to the content of fatty acids (or oils) or phthalic anhydride used . After the alkyd resin is cured into a film, it is shiny and tough, has strong adhesion, and has good wear resistance, weather resistance and insulation.    Classification   1. According to the types of vegetable oils or fatty acids, alkyd resins can be divided into three types: dry, non-drying and semi-drying. Alkyd resin synthesized from unsaturated fatty acids or oils is a dry oil alkyd resin, which can be dried by itself or at low temperature. No. 200 solvent oil is used as its solvent. Through the method of oxidative cross-linking, dry alkyd resin can self-dry in the air. In a certain principle, dry alkyd resin is a modified product of dry oil. The drying principle of this kind of paint film is that alkyd resin molecules cross-link into macromolecules through a series of reactions. The molecular weight of drying oil is low, and the formation of macromolecules requires multi-step cross-linking, so it takes a longer time for the paint film to dry. After the alkyd resin is synthesized from the dry oil, it is equivalent to increasing the molecular weight of the dry oil. It only requires fewer cross-linking points to solidify into a film. At the same time, the paint film performance of the alkyd resin is significantly better than that of the dry paint film. . Non-drying oil alkyd resin, which cannot dry by itself in the air, is often used as a plasticizer and multi-warp-based polymer. Non-drying oil alkyd resin contains warp groups, so amino resin can be combined with it to make paint. If a two-component self-drying paint is prepared, it can be formulated with polyisocyanate. The paint film properties of semi-drying alkyd resins are between those of drying and non-drying alkyd resins.   2. Classified according to the content of fatty acids or oils in alkyd resins. Alkyd resin can be divided into long oil, medium oil and short oil alkyd resin according to the content of fatty acids in the resin. Oiliness refers to the amount of oil or fatty acids in the alkyd resin. The oil or fatty acid content of long oil alkyd resin is 60%~70%, the oil or fatty acid content of medium oil alkyd resin is 40%~60%, and the oil or fatty acid content of short oil alkyd resin is 30%~40%. In addition, there are ultra-long oil (greater than 70%) and ultra-short oil (less than 30%). The comprehensive performance of alkyd resin is closely related to the type and oiliness of the oil or fatty acid used.   Dry short oil alkyd resin   The oil or fatty acid content of dry short-oil alkyd resin is 30% to 40%. It is mainly made from linseed oil, some tung oil, soybean oil, castor oil, catalpa oil and other dry oils and their fatty acids. Alkyd resin has high viscosity and requires aromatic hydrocarbon solvents to dissolve it. The alkyd resin paint is sprayed or dipped, preferably without brushing. It can oxidize and dry automatically at room temperature. It has good self-drying performance, average softness, good gloss, gloss and color retention, weather resistance, and fast drying speed. Short-oil alkyd resin has high hardness, good gloss and wear resistance, and is suitable for metal products such as automobiles and machine parts. It can be used as topcoat and primer. Short-oil alkyd resin can be used alone as drying paint, or mixed with urea-based resin, urea-formaldehyde resin, etc.   Dry medium oil alkyd resin   Medium-oil alkyd resin contains 40% to 60% oil or fatty acid. It is the most commonly used among alkyd resins. The paint made from it can be sprayed, brushed, and edited. The paint film dries quickly and has good gloss and weather resistance. , can be dried by itself or mixed with oxygen-based resin for drying. The drying time is shorter than oil-based alkyd resin paints, and the gloss and color retention is slightly worse. Dry medium oil alkyd resin is used as self-drying varnish, primer, etc. It can also be used as decorative paint, construction paint, furniture paint, metal primer, etc. It can be applied to metal, wood and other materials.   Non-drying oil alkyd resin   Vegetable oils for non-drying oil alkyd resins can be coconut oil, sesame oil, etc., and can also be made from lauric acid and some saturated fatty acids and medium-low carbon synthetic fatty acids. Short-oil alkyd resin has an oil content of 30% to 40%. It is made from the above-mentioned oils or fatty acids, and uses aromatic solvents as solvents. Non-drying medium-oil alkyd resin is mainly synthesized from castor oil, which is highly polar and uses aromatic hydrocarbons as solvents. Non-drying oil alkyd resin is often used in nitrocellulose paint, amino resin paint, etc.   Long oil alkyd resin   The oil or fatty acid content of long-oil alkyd resin is 60% to 70%. Dry long-oil alkyd resin has good drying performance, good paint film elasticity, good gloss and color retention and weather resistance, but the paint film hardness and wear resistance are worse than medium-oil alkyd resin. Long-oil alkyd resin is soluble in aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents, has low viscosity, is easy to apply and has good leveling performance. It can be used for indoor and outdoor architectural coatings and ship coatings. It is compatible with oil-based resin paints and can be used to enhance Oil-based resin paint and latex paint.

Epoxy resin

Epoxy resin is a high molecular polymer with the molecular formula (C 11 H 12 O 3 ) n . It refers to a class of polymers containing more than two epoxy groups in the molecule. It is the condensation product of epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A or polyol . Due to the chemical activity of the epoxy group , a variety of compounds containing active hydrogen can be used to open the ring and solidify and cross-link to form a network structure , so it is a thermosetting resin . Bisphenol A-type epoxy resin not only has the largest output and the most complete varieties, but also new modified varieties are still increasing, and the quality is constantly improving.   Physical and chemical properties   material properties   Epoxy resin has secondary hydroxyl groups and epoxy groups , and the secondary hydroxyl groups can react with isocyanates . Epoxy resin is directly added as a polyol to the hydroxyl-containing component of the polyurethane adhesive . Using this method, only the hydroxyl group participates in the reaction, and the epoxy group fails to react.   Use the carboxyl group of the acidic resin to open the epoxy ring, and then react with the isocyanate in the polyurethane adhesive . Epoxy resin can also be dissolved in ethyl acetate , phosphoric acid is added for heating reaction, and its adduct is added to the polyurethane adhesive, which can improve the initial tack, heat resistance , and hydrolysis stability of the adhesive. Alcoholamines or amines can also be used to react to generate polyols. The presence of tertiary nitrogen atoms in the adduct can accelerate the NCO reaction.   Using epoxy resin as the polyhydroxy component combines the advantages of polyurethane and epoxy resin, and has better bonding strength and chemical resistance. Epoxy resins used in manufacturing polyurethane adhesives generally use EP-12 and EP-13. , EP-16 and EP-20 and other varieties.   Modification method   1. Choose a hardener ; 2. Add reactive diluent ; 3. Add fillers ; 4. Add specialty thermosetting or thermoplastic resins ; 5. Modify the epoxy resin itself.   Application areas   Introduction to the preface   Epoxy resin’s excellent physical, mechanical and electrical insulation properties , bonding properties with various materials, and flexibility in its use process are not available in other thermosetting plastics . Therefore, it can be made into coatings, composite materials, casting materials , adhesives, molding materials and injection molding materials, and is widely used in various fields of the national economy .   Coating use   Epoxy resin accounts for a large proportion of applications in coatings, and it can be made into varieties with different characteristics and uses. Their common features: 1. Excellent chemical resistance , especially alkali resistance. 2. The paint film has strong adhesion , especially to metal. 3. Has good heat resistance and electrical insulation. 4. The paint film has good color retention . However, bisphenol A-type epoxy resin coatings have poor weather resistance . The paint film is easily powdered and loses its luster and lacks fullness when outdoors. It is not suitable for outdoor coatings and highly decorative coatings. Therefore, epoxy resin coatings are mainly used as anti-corrosion paint, metal primer , and insulating paint , but coatings made of heterocyclic and alicyclic epoxy resins can be used outdoors.   Adhesive use   In addition to poor adhesion to non-polar plastics such as polyolefins , epoxy resin also has good adhesion to various metal materials such as aluminum, iron, and copper; non-metallic materials such as glass, wood, concrete, etc.; and thermosetting plastics such as phenolics and amino acids. , unsaturated polyester, etc. all have excellent bonding properties, so they are called universal glue . Epoxy adhesives are an important variety of structural adhesives .   Basic classification   Classification criteria   The classification of epoxy resin has not yet been unified. It is generally classified according to strength, heat resistance level and characteristics. There are 16 main varieties of epoxy resin, including general glue, structural glue , high temperature resistant glue , low temperature resistant glue , and water and wet surface use. 16 types of adhesives , conductive adhesives , optical adhesives , spot welding adhesives, epoxy resin films, foam adhesives , strain adhesives, soft material adhesives, sealants , special adhesives , latent curing adhesives, and civil construction adhesives.   several classifications   There are several ways to classify epoxy resin adhesives in the industry: 1. According to its main components, it is divided into pure epoxy resin adhesive and modified epoxy resin adhesive; 2. According to their professional uses, they are divided into mechanical epoxy resin adhesives, construction epoxy resin adhesives, electronic epoxy resin adhesives, repair epoxy resin adhesives, traffic glues, and shipbuilding glues. wait; 3. According to its construction conditions, it is divided into normal temperature curing glue, low temperature curing glue and other curing glue; 4. According to its packaging form, it can be divided into single-component glue, two-component glue and multi-component glue; There are other classification methods, such as solvent-free glue, solvent-based glue and water-based glue. However, component classification is widely used.

polymer compounds

Polymer compounds, referred to as macromolecules, also known as high molecular polymers, generally refer to compounds with a relative molecular mass of several thousand to millions. The vast majority of polymer compounds are mixtures of many homologues with different relative molecular masses , so they are highly The relative molecular mass of a molecular compound is the average relative molecular weight. Polymer compounds are composed of thousands of atoms connected to each other by covalent bonds . Although their relative molecular masses are large, they are all connected in a simple structural unit and in a repetitive manner.   Introduction   The molecules of high molecular compounds are much larger than the molecules of low molecular organic compounds. Generally, the relative molecular mass of organic compounds does not exceed 1000, while the relative molecular mass of polymer compounds can be as high as 10 4 to 10 6 . Due to the large relative molecular mass of polymer compounds, their physical, chemical and mechanical properties are very different from those of low molecular compounds .   Although the relative molecular mass of polymer compounds is large, their composition is not complicated. Their molecules are often composed of specific structural units connected repeatedly through covalent bonds.   The molecular chains of the same polymer compound contain different numbers of links, so polymer compounds are essentially mixtures composed of many compounds with the same link structure but different degrees of polymerization. Their relative molecular mass and degree of polymerization are both different. is the average.   Polymer compounds are almost non-volatile and often exist in solid or liquid state at room temperature. Solid polymers can be divided into crystalline and amorphous states according to their structural forms . The molecules of the former are arranged in an orderly manner; while the molecules of the latter are arranged irregularly. The same polymer compound can have both crystalline and amorphous structures. Most synthetic resins have an amorphous structure.   The atoms that make up a polymer chain are combined by covalent bonds. Polymer chains generally have two different shapes: chain type and body shape.   A large number of polymer compounds used as materials in the world today are made from low-molecular organic compounds using coal, petroleum, natural gas, etc. as starting materials, and then through polymerization reactions. These low molecular compounds are called “monomers”, and the high molecular compounds generated by their polymerization reactions are also called polymers . Polymerization reactions are usually divided into two categories: addition polymerization and condensation polymerization , referred to as addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. Classification   Sort by source   According to the source, polymers can be divided into two categories : natural polymers and synthetic polymers .   Classified by performance   Polymers can be divided into three major categories : plastics , rubber and fibers .   Plastics can be divided into two categories according to their hot melt properties: thermoplastic plastics (such as polyethylene , polyvinyl chloride, etc.) and thermosetting plastics (such as phenolic resin , epoxy resin , unsaturated polyester resin, etc.). The former is a polymer with a linear structure that can soften and flow when heated, and can be plasticized and molded repeatedly. Defective and waste products can be recycled and reprocessed into products. The latter is a polymer with a body structure that solidifies once it is formed. It cannot be heated and softened, and cannot be processed and formed repeatedly. Therefore, defective products and waste products have no recycling value. The common feature of plastics is that they have good mechanical strength (especially polymers with body-shaped structures) and are used as structural materials .   Fibers can be divided into natural fibers and chemical fibers . The latter can be divided into man-made fibers (such as viscose fiber , acetate fiber, etc.) and synthetic fibers (such as nylon , polyester, etc.). Man-made fibers are made of natural polymers (such as short cotton linters, bamboo, wood, hair, etc.) that are chemically processed and spun. Synthetic fibers are synthesized from low molecular raw materials. The characteristic of the fiber is that it can be spun into shapes, has good strength and flexibility, and is used as textile materials .   Rubber includes natural rubber and synthetic rubber . Rubber is characterized by its good high elasticity and is used as an elastic material.   Classified by use   It can be divided into general polymers, engineering material polymers, functional polymers, biomimetic polymers, medical polymers , polymer drugs , polymer reagents , polymer catalysts and biopolymers. The “tetraenes” in plastics ( polyethylene , polypropylene , polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene ), the “four fibers” in fibers ( nylon , polyester , acrylic and vinylon ), the “four rubbers” in rubber ( styrene-butadiene ) Rubber , butadiene rubber , isoprene rubber and ethylene-propylene rubber ) are all polymer materials with a wide range of uses and are general-purpose polymers.   Engineering plastics refer to polymer materials with special properties (such as high temperature resistance, radiation resistance, etc.). For example, polyformaldehyde , polycarbonate , polysulfone , polyimide , polyarylene ether, polyaramid, fluorine-containing polymers , boron- containing polymers, etc. are relatively mature varieties and have been widely used as engineering materials.   Ion exchange resins , photosensitive polymers , polymer reagents and polymer catalysts are all functional polymers.   Medical polymers and pharmaceutical polymers have special requirements in medicine and physiological hygiene, and can also be regarded as functional polymers.   Classified by main chain structure   It can be divided into four categories: carbon chain polymers , heterochain polymers , elemental organic polymers and inorganic polymers .   The main chain of carbon chain polymers is composed of carbon atoms linked together.   In addition to carbon atoms, the main chain of heterochain polymers also contains oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and other elements, such as polyester , polyamide , cellulose, etc. Easy to hydrolyze. The main chain of elemental organic polymers is composed of atoms of carbon and other elements other than oxygen , nitrogen , sulfur , etc., such as silicon , aluminum , titanium , boron and other elements, but the side groups are organic groups, such as polysiloxane .   Inorganic polymers are composed of main chain and side chain groups composed of inorganic elements or groups. Natural inorganic polymers such as mica, crystal, etc., and synthetic inorganic polymers such as glass.   The systematic naming of polymer compounds is relatively complex and is rarely used in practice. It is customary to use common names for natural polymers. Synthetic polymers are usually named according to the preparation method and the name of the raw materials. For example, polymers prepared by addition polymerization are often named with the word “poly” in front of the name of the raw materials. For example, the polymer of vinyl chloride is called polyvinyl chloride , the polymer of styrene is called polystyrene , etc. For example, polymers produced by polycondensation reaction are mostly named by adding the word “resin” after the simplified raw material name. For example, phenolic resin , epoxy resin, etc. Addition polymers are often called “resins” before they are made into products. For example, polyvinyl chloride resin , polyethylene resin , etc. In addition, polymer substances are often given trade names in business. For example, polycaprolactam fiber is called nylon-6, polyethylene terephthalate fiber is called polyester, polyacrylonitrile fiber is called acrylic, etc.   Features   Compared with low molecules, polymers have the following characteristics: 1. From the perspective of relative molecular mass and composition, the relative molecular mass of polymers is very large and has “polydispersity”. Most polymers are polymerized from one or several monomers. 2. From the perspective of molecular structure, there are basically only two types of molecular structures of polymers, one is linear structure and the other is body structure. The characteristic of the linear structure is that the atoms in the molecule are connected to each other by covalent bonds to form a long, curled “chain” (called a molecular chain). The characteristic of the body structure is that there are many covalent bonds cross-linking the molecular chains to form a three-dimensional network structure. These two different structures have great differences in performance. 3. From the perspective of performance, polymers are usually in a solid or gel state due to their large relative molecular mass and have good mechanical strength; and because their molecules are combined by covalent bonds, they have relatively high mechanical strength. Good insulation and corrosion resistance; because its molecular chain is very long and the ratio of the length to diameter of the molecule is greater than one thousand, it has good plasticity and high elasticity. High elasticity is a unique property of polymers. In addition, the solubility, meltability, solution behavior and crystallinity are also very different from low molecules.   structure   The molecular structure of polymers can be divided into two basic types: the first is a linear structure, and polymer compounds with this structure are called linear polymer compounds . The second type is body structure . Polymer compounds with this structure are called body type polymer compounds . In addition, some polymers have branched chains , called branched polymers, which also fall into the category of linear structures. Although some polymers have cross-links between molecular chains, there are fewer cross-links. This structure is called a network structure and belongs to the category of body structure.   There are independent macromolecules in polymer materials with linear structures (including those with branched chains). The macromolecules can be separated from each other in the solvent of such polymers or in the heated and molten state . In polymer materials with a body structure (a large number of cross-links between molecular chains), there are no independent macromolecules, so there is no meaning of relative molecular mass, only the degree of cross-linking . Network-structured polymer materials with few cross-links may also exist as separated macromolecules.   Two different structures showing opposite properties. Polymers with linear structures (including branched structures) have the characteristics of elasticity and plasticity due to the existence of independent molecules, can be dissolved in solvents, can be melted when heated, and have low hardness and brittleness. Because there are no independent macromolecules in the body structure polymer, it has no elasticity and plasticity, cannot dissolve and melt, can only swell, and is relatively hard and brittle. Therefore, from a structural point of view, rubber can only be polymers with a linear structure or a network structure with little cross-linking, and fibers can only be linear polymers, while plastics can have polymers with both structures.   Synthesis of polymers   There are two basic types of reactions for synthesizing polymer compounds: one is called condensation polymerization (referred to as condensation polymerization ), and the other is called addition polymerization (referred to as addition polymerization ). The monomer structures, polymerization mechanisms and specific implementation methods of these two types of synthetic reactions are different.   polycondensation reaction   Condensation polymerization refers to a polymerization reaction in which monomers with two or more functional groups condense with each other and produce small molecule by-products (water, alcohol, ammonia, hydrogen halide, etc.) to form polymer compounds. like:   In the monomer , terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol each have two functional groups. When forming macromolecules, they extend in two directions, resulting in linear polymers .   Although phenol and formaldehyde are monofunctional compounds, the initial products of their reaction are multifunctional. These multifunctional molecules are condensed into linear or three-dimensional polymers, namely phenolic resins.   addition polymerization reaction   Addition polymerization refers to a reaction in which one or more monomers are synthesized into a polymer. During the reaction, no low molecular substances are generated. The generated polymer has the same chemical composition as the raw material, and its relative molecular mass It is an integer multiple of the relative molecular weight of the raw material, and the addition polymerization reaction that occurs only from one monomer is called a homopolymerization reaction. For example, polyvinyl chloride is synthesized from vinyl chloride: The polymerization of two or more monomers is called copolymerization. For example, styrene is copolymerized with methyl methacrylate. Copolymer products are called copolymers, and their properties are often better than homopolymers. Therefore, product properties can be improved through copolymerization methods.The addition polymerization reaction has the following two characteristics: (1) The monomer used in the addition polymerization reaction is a compound with an unsaturated bond of double or triple bonds. For example, ethylene , propylene , vinyl chloride , styrene , acrylonitrile , methyl methacrylate , etc. are commonly used important monomers, and the addition polymerization reaction occurs on unsaturated bonds. (2) The addition polymerization reaction is completed through a series of mutual addition reactions between monomer molecules: And once the reaction occurs, it will proceed quickly in the form of a chain reaction to obtain a polymer compound (often called an addition polymer). The relative molecular mass growth is almost independent of time, but the monomer conversion rate increases with time.   The above two characteristics are the most basic differences between addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. The addition polymerization reaction can be divided into two categories: free radical addition polymerization reaction and ionic addition polymerization reaction according to the different reaction active centers.   application   Polymers are widel […]

titanium ore

Titanium ore refers to minerals containing a large amount of titanium ore. The main ones utilized in China are ilmenite , rutile and titanium magnetite .   Raw material characteristics   Titanium is a typical lithophile element and often appears as an oxide mineral. There are more than 80 kinds of minerals containing more than 1% TiO2 in the earth’s crust, and 15 kinds have industrial value. The main ones used in China are ilmenite , rutile and titanium magnetite (Table 3.5.1). They are both primary (rock minerals) and secondary (weathered residual slope accumulation and sedimentary sand minerals ).   Properties of titanium   Because titanium metal is silvery white, it has a high melting point (1727°C), light specific gravity (4.5), high mechanical strength (5), low temperature resistance (resistivity is almost 0 at ultra-low temperatures), abrasion resistance, and good plasticity of titanium wire (can Thin-walled use), not easily oxidized, and highly reducible; the oxide of titanium, titanium dioxide (titanium dioxide), is non-toxic and has good physical and chemical stability (it does not melt in any acid and alkali after calcining at 1000°C) , high refractive index (2.55~2.70), as well as strong whiteness, tinting power (1150~1650), hiding power (40~50g/m2), temperature resistance, anti-powdering and other characteristics, it is called “pigment” King of”. Therefore, titanium and its oxides and alloy products are important coatings, new structural materials, and anti-corrosion materials . They are known as “the third metal in development after iron and aluminum” and “strategic metals”, and are also “promising” Metal materials” are widely used in aviation, aerospace, ships, military industry, metallurgy, chemical industry, machinery, electricity, desalination, transportation, light industry, environmental protection, medical equipment and other fields, and have created a huge economy Benefits and social benefits play an important role in the development of the national economy.   A brief history of mining   In 1789, the British amateur mineralogist Father William Gregor discovered a new element (titanium) in the black magnetic sandstone ( ilmenite ) in the Manakin Valley in his parish, Gonaval State. It was named “Menaccanite” at the time.   In 1795, the German chemist MHKlaproth discovered a new metal oxide , which is now rutile (TiO2), while conducting systematic analysis and examination of rock minerals. He named this new element as In Greek mythology, the Titans, the sons of heaven and earth, were named Titanium. “Titanium” is what Gregor calls “Mernaginite”.

C-Reactive Protein

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein (acute protein) that rises sharply in the plasma when the body is infected or tissue damaged. It activates complement and strengthens the phagocytosis of phagocytes to play a regulatory role in clearing the invading body. Pathogenic microorganisms and damaged, necrotic, and apoptotic tissue cells.     definition   C-reactive protein (CRP) refers to some proteins (acute proteins) that rise sharply in the plasma when the body is infected or tissue damaged. CRP can activate complement and strengthen phagocytosis by phagocytes to play a regulatory role, thereby eliminating pathogenic microorganisms that invade the body and damaged, necrotic, and apoptotic tissue cells , and plays an important protective role in the body’s natural immune process.   characteristic   CRP is not only a non-specific inflammatory marker, but also directly involved incardiovascular diseases such as inflammation and atherosclerosis , and is the most powerful predictor and risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The interaction between CRP and complement C1q and FcTR enables it to exhibit many biological activities, including host defense response to infection, phagocytosis and regulation of inflammatory response, etc. The combination with damaged cells, apoptotic cells and nuclear antigens also plays an important role in autoimmune diseases.   normal value   Which detection method is used depends on the conditions of each laboratory and the requirements for sensitivity and specificity. Immunodiffusion, radioimmunoassay, turbidimetry, and enzyme-labeled immunoassay methods all have practical value.   Normal value: 800-8000μg/L (immunodiffusion or turbidity method) .   Nursing precautions   1. Do not eat greasy or high-protein foods the day before blood drawing , and avoid drinking a lot of alcohol. The ethanol content in the blood will directly affect the test results.   2. After 20:00 on the day before blood collection, you should fast for 12 hours to avoid affecting the test results.   3. When collecting urine specimens for examination, clean the vulva before collecting urine. The container used should be clean and free of contamination. Chemical substances such as detergents, disinfectants, and preservatives should not be mixed to avoid affecting the examination results.   4. Women should prevent leucorrhea from being mixed into urine. Pay attention to expelling part of the urine first, and then collect the specimen, that is, collect the mid-section urine.   5. Urine should be sent for testing immediately after retention to avoid erroneous test results caused by urine retention.   Related diseases   Malignant myxoma of the left atrium , mucocutaneous lymphaden syndrome, Takayasu arteritis, microscopic polyangiitis , nonspecific systemic necrotizing small vessel vasculitis , pediatric Historian-Johanne syndrome , pediatric Takayasu arteritis  , adult still’s disease, rheumatic fever, pediatric pneumonia   clinical significance   Clinical significance of CRP measurement:   (1) The levels of acute inflammation, tissue damage, myocardial infarction , surgical trauma, radiation damage and other diseases increase rapidly within hours after the onset, and tend to increase exponentially. When the disease improves, it quickly drops to normal, and its increase is positively correlated with the degree of infection. The patient’s CRP increases after surgery, and the CRP level should decrease 7 to 10 days after surgery. If CRP does not decrease or increases again, it indicates possible complications such as infection or thromboembolism.   (2) CRP is closely related to other inflammatory factors, such as the total number of white blood cells, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and polymorphonuclear leukocytes. There is a positive correlation with WBC. Plays an active role in the inflammatory response and gives the body non-specific resistance. When a patient’s disease attacks, it can rise earlier than WBC and return to normal quickly, so it has extremely high sensitivity.   (3) Help identify types of respiratory infections. CRP can be used for the differential diagnosis of bacterial and viral infections: During bacterial infection, CRP levels increase; while during viral infections, CRP does not increase or is slightly increased. Therefore, the CRP value can help doctors identify the type of respiratory tract infection and be targeted. of medication and treatment.   (4) CRP is elevated in patients with malignant tumors . For example, the joint detection of CRP and AFP can be used for the differential diagnosis of liver cancer and benign liver diseases, and can be used to judge the efficacy and prognosis of liver cancer. CRP increases before surgery and decreases after surgery, and its response is not affected by radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and corticosteroid treatment, which is helpful to evaluate the progression of the tumor.   (5) Assess the severity of acute pancreatitis . When CRP is higher than 250 mg/L, it indicates extensive necrotizing pancreatitis.   (6) Using the ultra-sensitive latex enhanced method to measure CRP can improve the sensitivity of the measurement and can be used to predict the risk of coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction .

calcium carbonate

Calcium carbonate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula CaCO₃. It is the main component of limestone, marble, etc. Calcium carbonate is usually white crystal, odorless, basically insoluble in water, and easily reacts with acid to release carbon dioxide [1]. It is one of the common substances on the earth. It is found in rocks such as aragonite, calcite, chalk, limestone, marble, and travertine. It is also the main component of some animal bones or shells. Calcium carbonate is also an important building material and is widely used in industry.   nature   physical properties   Calcium carbonate is white fine crystalline powder, tasteless and odorless. There are two forms: amorphous and crystalline. The crystal form can be divided into orthorhombic crystal system and hexagonal crystal system (calcium carbonate anhydrous is colorless orthorhombic crystal, calcium carbonate hexahydrate is colorless monoclinic crystal [4]), columnar or diamond-shaped, with a density of 2.93g/cm 3 . The melting point is 1339°C (decomposed at 825-896.6°C), and the melting point is 1289°C under 10.7MPa. Almost insoluble in water, soluble in water containing ammonium salt or ferric oxide, insoluble in alcohol .   material structure   Its crystal structure is orthorhombic . Each calcium carbonate molecule consists of one carbon atom and three oxygen atoms, with each oxygen atom linked to a calcium ion. Calcium carbonate is composed of ionic bonds between calcium ions and carbonate ions, and the carbonate ions are internally composed of carbon-oxygen covalent bonds. Among them, carbonate belongs to sp2 hybridization, and the central carbon atom has 3 orbitals and one p orbital. According to the VSEPR model, it is an AY3 type molecule. Its VSEPR ideal model is a planar triangle, and there are 3 CO bonds in the molecule that form a planar triangle; in addition, It also has a 4-orbital 6-electron pp large bond [6]. In a crystal, calcium carbonate molecules are arranged in a layered structure parallel to the a- and c-axes. These layers are interconnected by coplanar oxygen atoms and form a three-dimensional network structure. This structure gives calcium carbonate high stability and hardness.   Classification   According to the different production methods of calcium carbonate, calcium carbonate can be divided into heavy calcium carbonate, light calcium carbonate, colloidal calcium carbonate and crystalline calcium carbonate. According to the average particle size (d) of calcium carbonate powder, calcium carbonate can be divided into particulate calcium carbonate (d>5μm), micronized calcium carbonate (1-5μm), fine calcium carbonate (0.1-1μm), ultrafine calcium carbonate Calcium (0.02-0.1μm) ultrafine calcium carbonate (d≤0.02μm). Calcium carbonate can be divided into crystalline calcium carbonate and amorphous calcium carbonate based on the regular arrangement of the atoms and ions that make up calcium carbonate. In addition, there are nano calcium carbonate and so on.   heavy calcium carbonate   Heavy calcium carbonate (commonly known as heavy calcium) is produced by directly crushing natural calcite, limestone, chalk, shells, etc. using mechanical methods (Raymond mill or other high-pressure mill).   Light calcium carbonate   Light calcium carbonate (commonly known as light calcium), also known as precipitated calcium carbonate, is made by calcining raw materials such as limestone to produce lime (the main component is calcium oxide) and carbon dioxide, and then adding water to digest the lime to produce lime milk (the main component is calcium hydroxide). Then carbon dioxide is introduced to carbonize the lime milk to form calcium carbonate precipitate, which is finally obtained by dehydration, drying and crushing. Or first use sodium carbonate and calcium chloride to perform a metathesis reaction to generate calcium carbonate precipitate, and then make it through dehydration, drying and pulverization.   colloidal calcium carbonate   Colloidal calcium carbonate, also known as activated calcium carbonate, modified calcium carbonate, surface-treated calcium carbonate, colloidal calcium carbonate or Baiyanhua, referred to as live calcium, is a surface modification of light calcium carbonate or heavy calcium carbonate using a surface modifier. Made by sex. Since calcium carbonate modified by surface modifiers generally has a reinforcing effect, which is the so-called “activity”, it is customary to call modified calcium carbonate active calcium carbonate.   Properties: Colloidal calcium carbonate is an extremely fine white powder, odorless and tasteless. The particles are approximately spherical and the particle size is less than 0.1um. Because a layer of fatty soap is adsorbed on the surface of the particles, it has colloidal activation properties and is an excellent white reinforcing filler. . Dissolved in water, it decomposes when exposed to acid and turns into burnt black when burned, releasing carbon dioxide and generating calcium oxide. The proportion is 1.99~2.01.   crystalline calcium carbonate   Calcium hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid to generate calcium chloride, which is decolorized by activated carbon and impurities are removed. The calcium chloride is carbonated with carbon dioxide in the presence of ammonia water to obtain calcium carbonate, which is then crystallized, separated, washed, dehydrated, dried, and screened. be made of.   Properties: Pure white, hexagonal crystalline powder. Specific volume 1.2 ~ 1.4 ml/g. Soluble in acid, almost insoluble in water. [7]   Usage: Used in toothpaste, medicine, etc., and can also be used as insulation material and preparation of other chemical raw materials.   Nano calcium carbonate   Nano calcium carbonate (ultrafine calcium carbonate) has a particle size between 1-100nm and is a newly developed powder material in the 1980s. It is an excellent inorganic filler. When used in plastics, it has good affinity with resin and can effectively increase or adjust the rigidity, toughness and bending strength of the material. It can also improve the rheological properties of the plastic processing system, reduce the plasticizing temperature, and improve the product’s dimensional stability, heat resistance and Surface smoothness; in rubber systems such as NR, BR, SBR, it is easy to mix and disperse evenly, and can make the gum soft, and can also improve the extrusion processing performance and mold fluidity. It makes rubber products have a smooth surface and elongation It has the characteristics of large rate, high tensile strength, small permanent deformation, good bending resistance and high tear resistance. [10]Compared with ordinary calcium carbonate, nano-calcium carbonate has a special crystal structure, surface electronic structure, and excellent quantum size effect and surface effect. It is widely used in chemical industry, catalysis, optics, magnetism, electricity and other fields [11]. However, nanometer calcium carbonate is easy to aggregate and its surface is hydrophilic and oleophobic, which limits its application in organisms.   Industrial applications   Calcium carbonate is the trade name of limestone, a valuable resource with a wide range of uses as a mineral raw material. Limestone has been widely used in the history of human civilization because of its wide distribution in nature and easy access. As an important building material, it has a long history of mining. In modern industry, limestone is the main raw material for manufacturing cement, lime, and calcium carbide. It is an indispensable flux limestone in the metallurgical industry. After ultra-fine grinding, high-quality limestone is widely used It is used in the manufacturing of paper, rubber, paint, coating, medicine, cosmetics, feed, sealing, bonding, polishing and other products. According to incomplete statistics, the ratio of limestone consumed in cement production to the sum of building stones, lime production, metallurgical fluxes, and ultrafine calcium carbonate is 1:3. Limestone is a non-renewable resource. With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the development of nanotechnology, the application fields of limestone will be further expanded.

Adhesive

Bonding agent is one of the most important auxiliary materials and is widely used in packaging operations. Adhesives are sticky substances that join two separate materials together by their viscosity . There are many types of adhesives.     Introduction   Adhesive is actually a general term for various stress materials that connect or fit the same or different materials. There are three main types: liquid, paste and solid.   Classification   There are many types of adhesives, which can usually be classified as follows:   Material source points   ①Natural adhesive It is derived from substances found in nature. Including starch , protein, dextrin , animal glue , shellac, hide glue, rosin and other biological adhesives; also includes mineral adhesives such as asphalt .   ②Synthetic adhesive Mainly refers to artificially synthesized substances, including inorganic adhesives such as water glass, and organic adhesives such as synthetic resin and synthetic rubber .   Use characteristics   ①Water-soluble adhesive Adhesives that use water as solvent mainly include starch, dextrin, polyvinyl alcohol , carboxymethyl cellulose , etc. ②Hot melt adhesive It is a solid adhesive that is melted by heating. General thermoplastic resins can be used, such as polyurethane, polystyrene, polyacrylate , ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, etc. ③Solvent -based adhesive An adhesive that is insoluble in water but soluble in a certain solvent. Such as shellac, butyl rubber , etc. ④Emulsion type adhesive Most of them are suspended in water, such as vinyl acetate resin , acrylic resin, chlorinated rubber , etc. ⑤Solvent-free liquid adhesive It is in the form of viscous liquid at room temperature, such as epoxy resin, etc.   The adhesive is the medium between the label material and the bonding substrate and plays a connecting role. According to its characteristics, it can be divided into two types: permanent and removable. It comes in a variety of formulas, suitable for different surface materials and different occasions. Adhesive is the most important component in self-adhesive material technology and the key to label application technology.   According to raw materials   1 MS modified silane Modified silane polymer ends with methoxysilane. It was invented by Zhongyuan Group in 1978. The company is the only supplier of modified silane raw materials in the world. On this basis, Belgium Novan Technology has continued R&D and innovation. Produces a series of high-quality sealants and adhesives used in construction, industry, automobile transportation, civil use, etc.   2 polyurethane The full name of polyurethane is polyurethane, which is a general term for macromolecular compounds containing repeating urethane groups on the main chain. It is formed by the addition polymerization of organic diisocyanate or polyisocyanate and dihydroxy or polyhydroxy compounds .   3 silicone Silicones, commonly known as silicone oil or dimethyl silicone oil, have the molecular formula : (CH3)3SiO(CH3)2SiOnSi(CH3)3. They are polymers of organic silicon oxides and are a series of polydimethylsiloxanes with different molecular weights. , the viscosity increases as the molecular weight increases.   According to packaging materials   ①Paper-based material adhesive Mainly including original (natural) starch, dextrin, casein and current chemically synthesized and environmentally friendly various water-based latex, etc. Widely used in color boxes, cigarette packs, paper bags, gift boxes, hardcover boxes and various handmade boxes, as well as wooden furniture.   ②Plastic adhesive Mainly include solvent-based adhesives such as styrene-butadiene rubber, polyurethane, nitrocellulose, and polyvinyl acetate; water-soluble adhesives such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer; and emulsion-based adhesives such as vinyl acetate resin and acrylic resin. Adhesives; hot melt adhesives composed of thermoplastic resins such as polystyrene, polyurethane, polyacrylate, etc.   ③Wood adhesive It mainly includes animal glues such as bone glue, leather glue, kelp glue, casein, and blood glue; it also includes synthetic resin glues such as phenolic resin glue, polyvinyl acetate resin glue, and urea -formaldehyde resin glue; and it also includes plant glues such as soybean gum. Adhesives and adhesives are a general term for non-metallic materials that can bond one solid surface to another solid surface due to surface bonding and internal forces (adhesion and cohesion, etc.).   According to use   ①Industrial adhesives It is mainly used in color printing packaging , architectural decoration and wooden furniture to achieve the connection and compounding of things.   ②Adhesives for agriculture and forestry It is mainly used for slope greening or other soil structure improvement, which can make the soil form a granular structure and achieve the effect of moisture conservation. At the same time, it can enhance the water permeability of the soil, prevent soil loss caused by surface runoff, improve soil permeability, conserve soil and fertilizer, alleviate and regulate soil water evaporation, and allow crops to grow better.   formula   Starch binder is a mixture of water, raw starch, cooked paste, caustic soda, borax and formaldehyde . The approximate proportion is: water 80%; starch 20% (raw starch accounts for 85%, cooked starch accounts for 15%); caustic Sodium (total amount of starch) 2.4-2.8%; Borax (total amount of starch) 2.7-3.2%, about 10 moles; trace amounts of formaldehyde.   Most of the starch used by some carton factories in the United States is corn starch . Some are untreated pure corn flour, while others have been chemically treated , especially the treated special starch, which has good stable viscosity and excellent water-containing properties. Some starches are powdery and some are granular. The granules are just loose lumps surrounded by powder, which are used in the batter to prepare the entire batch of paste.   Some factories use specially treated corn starch to manufacture a single-viscosity adhesive whose gelling point starts at 61°C and ends at 63°C. Although the gelation point is low, the adhesive gels quickly like a general double-sided machine paste during bonding. The viscosity is usually between 27 and 32 seconds. 500 kg of starch is used for 680 gallons of paste.   After the starch is stirred in normal temperature water, its particles are dispersed into a milky state, but it will not dissolve or absorb water. If you stop stirring, the starch will settle at the bottom and gradually form hard lumps. Once the hard lumps are formed, it will not be easy to disperse. Starch dispersed in water begins to absorb water and expand when heated. Raw starch is used in the adhesive formulation and begins to swell at approximately 70°C. When the temperature rises to 90°C, the expansion is completed. Gelatinized starch is very viscous, depending on the amount of starch in the water.   Raw material process   Borax   Borax is also available in powder and granular forms, with fine-grained borax being the best. Borax comes in two grades based on strength. There are 10 water molecules in 10 moles of borax, which is called grade 10 water borax. There are 5 water molecules in 5 moles of borax, which is called grade 5 water borax. 5 moles of borax is a higher concentration. 0.35 kg of 5 moles of borax is equivalent to 0.454 kg of 10 moles of borax. If the same amount of two types of borax is used incorrectly, the consequences will be serious. If borax is added to an emulsion of raw starch and water and the mixture is heated, the starch will expand rapidly after absorbing water and become more viscous than without borax.   There is a certain limit to the amount of borax added, otherwise it will affect the expansion of starch, and the gelatinized paste will become brittle and appear in a powdery state when dry.   Caustic soda only needs to contain 76% sodium oxide and is commercial grade without additives. It can be used in the form of crumbs, granules or flakes. The composition is equivalent to 98% sodium hydroxide. Caustic soda absorbs moisture from the air which reduces its strength. Therefore, if the packaging barrel is damaged, it should not be used. After opening the lid to collect materials, the lid should be closed tightly immediately.   caustic soda   Caustic soda is a strong alkali that can cause severe burns to the skin in its dry state or when dissolved in water. Wear a face mask and rubber gloves when handling caustic soda, and keep a bottle of vinegar handy for immediate treatment of caustic soda-contaminated skin. Caustic soda will smoke when dissolved in water. Do not inhale the smoke as it is poisonous.   Caustic soda is added to the emulsion of raw starch and water, and the mixture is heated to reduce the temperature at which starch swells and gelatinizes. According to this characteristic, the amount of caustic soda added can be used to precisely control the temperature of starch expansion and gelatinization. However, adding too much will cause the gelatinized particles to split, reduce the viscosity, and cause the raw starch in the paste to gelatinize in advance.   formaldehyde   Formaldehyde is in the state of 37% aqueous solution and is measured according to the volume or wet weight specified in the formula. Formaldehyde is commonly used in adhesives for corrosion protection. It is used as a chemical cross-linking agent in some waterproof adhesive formulations. You must wear protective equipment when handling formaldehyde, because formaldehyde is a strong irritant to the eyes and skin, so inhalation should be avoided.   water resistant adhesive   The difference between water-resistant adhesives and ordinary adhesives is that they usually contain more raw starch, less caustic soda, and no or very little borax. Of course, water-resistant adhesives add a certain amount of waterproofing agent . There are many waterproofing agents that can be used, all of which are water-soluble resins. After this type of resin is chemically cross-linked with formaldehyde , it will become an adhesive that is insoluble in water and has certain water resistance when heated on the paste line .   Most water-resistant adhesives have a limited lifespan. Some gradually thicken over time, even under stirring conditions. Some machines have good operating performance, but their water resistance is greatly reduced. Therefore, the adhesive must be used as soon as possible after it is prepared.   water based   Mainly through the surface absorption of moisture to complete drying or bonding. The raw solid starch in the adhesive gelatinizes on the paste line and absorbs moisture. Bonding time ranges from a few seconds to about a minute. Moisture is gradually absorbed by the surrounding air and paper fibers. This traditional form of adhesive is typically used on corrugated cardboard production lines and provides an immediate, strong bond.   In order to achieve a satisfactory bonding effect, a slightly viscous suspoemulsion containing pregelatinized starch must be added to the starch and water emulsion. This kind of suspoemulsion can suspend raw starch in water and prevent it from settling; increase the concentration so that it can be carried by the rubber roller and form a paste film of appropriate thickness on the roller; adjust the viscosity so that the paper fibers are properly moistened and initially adhered; ensure that the raw starch is properly wetted and initially adhered; There is a large amount of water around the starch molecules so that the starch can expand to the maximum extent and completely gelatinize when heated; caustic soda must be added to adjust and control the gelatinization temperature of the starch until it is as low as possible.   In order to achieve a satisfactory bonding effect, borax must be added to make the raw starch absorb all available water when heated; to produce appropriate viscosity and toughness when the starch is gelatinized; to act as a buffer to prevent caustic soda from Part of the raw starch is expanded below the minimum gelatinization temperature.

Acid Dyestuff

Acid dyes refer to dye molecules containing acidic groups, also known as anionic dyes, which can be combined with amino groups in protein fiber molecules through ionic bonds and are suitable under acidic, weakly acidic or neutral conditions. Mainly azo and anthraquinone structures, a few are aromatic methane structures. Dyes and colors are generally compounds that have their own color and can make other substances obtain bright and firm colors in a molecular or dispersed state.     Introduction   Acid dyes have a complete chromatogram and bright colors. The light fastness and wet processing fastness vary greatly with different dye varieties. Compared with direct dyes, acid dyes have a simple structure and lack long conjugated double bonds and a co-planar structure. Therefore, they lack directness to cellulose fibers and cannot be used for dyeing cellulose fibers. Different types of acid dyes have different dyeing properties due to different molecular structures, and the dyeing methods used are also different.   Classification   Acid dyes are divided into strong acid, weak acid, acid medium, acid complex dye, etc. according to their chemical structure and dyeing conditions.   Strong acid dye   The earliest developed acid dye requires dyeing in a strong acid dye bath. Its molecular structure is simple, its molecular weight is low, it contains sulfonic acid groups or carboxyl groups, and it has little affinity for wool. It can move evenly on wool and dye it. It is evenly dyed, so it is also called acid leveling dye, but the shade is not deep, the washing fastness is poor, and the wool is damaged during dyeing, and the wool after dyeing has a poor feel. Such as acid red G (ie CI acid red 1).   Weak acid dye   In strong acid dyes, weak acid dyes can be generated by increasing the molecular weight, introducing groups such as aryl sulfone groups, or introducing long carbon chains. The molecular structure is more complex and has a greater affinity for wool. It can dye wool in a weakly acidic medium without damaging the wool. The color is darker and the fastness is improved, but it is not evenly dyed. Such as weakly acidic brilliant blue RAW (ie CI acid blue 80).   acid mordant dye   Acid dyes that form metal complexes on fabrics after treatment with certain metal salts (such as chromium salts, copper salts, etc.) as mordants. The procedures for mordant dyeing are complicated, but dyes with better properties such as light fastness, washing fastness, and rubbing fastness can be obtained, such as acid mordant black T (ie, CI mordant black 11).   acid complex dyes   It is formed by complexing certain acid dyes with metals such as chromium and cobalt. It is soluble in water, and its dyeing products have excellent lightfastness and lightfastness. Its dye parent is similar to acid mordant dye, but when preparing the dye, metal atoms have been introduced into the azo dye molecules. The ratio of metal atoms to dye molecules is 1:1, so it is also called 1:1 metal complex dye . No need to use mordant when dyeing. Such as acid complex yellow GR (ie CI acid yellow 99).   Another type of acidic complex dye molecules does not contain sulfonic acid groups, but contains hydrophilic groups such as sulfonylamino groups. The ratio of metal atoms to dye molecules in the molecule is 1:2, so it is also called 1:2 metal complex dye . It dyes in neutral or slightly acidic medium, so it is called neutral dye . Such as neutral gray 2BL (ie CI acid black 60).   Acid dyes include azo type, anthraquinone type, triarylmethane type, etc., but most of them are azo dyes . The production of acid complex dyes is similar to that of general dyes, but a metal complexing process must be added. For example, neutral gray 2BL is first diazotized with 2-aminophenol-4-sulfonamide , and then combined with 1-acetamido-7 -Naphthol coupling, and then complexing with sodium chromium salicylate.

Carburetor, precision mechanical device

The carburetor is a mechanical device that mixes a certain proportion of gasoline and air under the vacuum generated by the engine’s operation. As a precision mechanical device, the carburetor uses the kinetic energy of the inhaled air flow to atomize gasoline. Its important role in the engine can be called the “heart” of the engine. The complete device should include starting device, idle device, medium load device, full load device and acceleration device. The carburetor will automatically proportion the corresponding concentration and output the corresponding amount of mixed gas according to the different working conditions of the engine. In order to make the mixed gas mixture evenly mixed, the carburetor also has the function of atomizing the fuel. effect for the machine to operate normally.     Classification Carburetors are divided into simple carburetors and complex carburetors. Carburetors can also be divided into downdraft and flat-draft types. Carburetors can be divided into rotary type and lift type based on the type of throttle valve. The rotary throttle is a disc-shaped throttle that rotates around an axis between the carburetor throat and the intake pipe to change the flow area of the intake duct. The lift-type throttle is constructed as a barrel-shaped plate-shaped throttle, which moves up and down at the throat to change the channel area at the throat. This form is often used in motorcycle carburetors. There is also a type of carburetor that is a hybrid form of the two. The rotary throttle is controlled by a human and the lift throttle is controlled by a diaphragm. This is also often used on motorcycles and is called the CV type. Structure A simple carburetor consists of upper, middle and lower parts. The upper part has the air inlet and float chamber, the middle part has the throat, measuring hole and nozzle, and the lower part has the throttle valve, etc. The float chamber is a rectangular container that stores gasoline from the gasoline pump. There is a float in the container that uses the height of the floating surface (oil surface) to control the amount of fuel. The oil inlet at one end of the middle nozzle is connected to the measuring hole of the float chamber, and the oil outlet at the other end is at the throat of the throat. Principle A carburetor is essentially a tube with an adjustable plate in the middle called a throttle plate that controls the flow of air through the tube. There is a constriction in the tube called a venturi where a vacuum is created. This constriction has a measuring hole through which fuel can be sucked in using a vacuum. Atmospheric pressure spreads from high pressure to low pressure. When the piston of a two-stroke engine is at top dead center (or the piston of a four-stroke engine is at bottom dead center), a low pressure develops under the piston in the crankcase (above the piston on a four-stroke engine). At the same time, this low pressure will also cause low pressure in the carburetor. Because the pressure outside the engine and carburetor is higher, air will rush into the carburetor and into the engine until the pressures equalize. The air flowing through the carburetor will carry the fuel, which will then mix with the air. Inside the carburetor is a section of pipe. The throat is the constriction inside the carburetor that forces air to accelerate through it. A river that suddenly narrows can be used to illustrate what happens inside a carburetor. The water in the river will speed up as it approaches a narrowing bank, and even faster if the bank narrows continuously. If the same thing happens inside the carburetor, the accelerated flow of air will cause the air pressure inside the carburetor to decrease. The gasoline enters the carburetor from the fuel tank through the gasoline filter. The gasoline filter can filter out the impurities mixed in the gasoline and the oxide scale in the fuel tank. If the filter quality is defective, some impurities may still enter the carburetor through the filter. In addition, gasoline contains ingredients that can form colloid. After long-term deposition, colloid will condense and adhere to the parts of the carburetor (such as measuring holes), oil passages and the surface of the float chamber. The air enters the carburetor through the air filter. Considering that the air intake resistance cannot be too large and other factors, the filter device cannot be too dense, so some tiny impurities in the air will still enter the carburetor through the air filter. If the filter quality is defective, it will cause more serious effects. Many parts that make up the carburetor oil passage and air passage, such as the main metering hole, idle speed metering hole, main air metering hole, idle air metering hole, main foam tube, etc., all have holes with very small inner diameters (the inner diameter is 0.3 ~1.5mm), the gasoline impurities, colloids and impurities in the air that enter the carburetor will often change or block these pore diameters, causing the carburetor air passage and oil passage to be blocked and the carburetor supply Changes in oil properties may even cause carburetor performance failure. Maintain The normal maintenance of the carburetor is actually to maintain the cleanliness of the carburetor when it leaves the factory. This is controlled as a key indicator of carburetor quality assessment by professional carburetor manufacturers, who use various advanced equipment and processes to Every aspect of production is strictly controlled. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal use of the carburetor, attention must be paid to normal maintenance of the carburetor: clean the carburetor regularly, keep the oil passage and air passage of the carburetor clean, and keep the small holes unobstructed. This is also very important to extend the service life of the carburetor. Many carburetor performance problems can be solved by cleaning the carburetor regularly.

Car seat belt,Prevent airbag deployment injuries

Car seat belts are safety devices designed to restrain the occupants during a collision and to prevent secondary collisions between the occupants and the steering wheel and instrument panel, or to prevent the occupants from rushing out of the car during a collision, resulting in death or injury. Car seat belts, also known as seat belts, are a type of passenger restraint device. Car seat belts are recognized as the cheapest and most effective safety devices. Among vehicle equipment, seat belts are mandatory in many countries.     Origin Seat belts existed before the invention of automobiles. In 1885, when horse-drawn carriages were commonly used in Europe, seat belts were simply used to prevent passengers from falling off the carriage. By 1910, seat belts began to appear on airplanes. In 1922, sports cars on the racing circuit began to use seat belts. By 1955, Ford cars in the United States began to use seat belts. Generally speaking, the seat belts during this period were mainly two-point seat belts. In 1955, aircraft designer Niels invented the three-point safety belt after working for Volvo Car Company. In 1963, Volvo Car Company began to register Niels’ three-point car seat belt and assemble it on its own cars. In 1968, the United States stipulated that all forward-facing seats in cars must be equipped with seat belts. Developed countries such as Europe and Japan have also successively formulated regulations requiring car occupants to wear seat belts. Structure 1. Webbing Webbing is a belt about 50mm wide and 1.2mm thick made of synthetic fibers such as nylon or polyester. Depending on the purpose, the strength, elongation, etc. required by the safety belt can be achieved through weaving methods and heat treatment. characteristic. It is also the part that absorbs conflicting energies. National regulations have different requirements for the performance of seat belts. 2. The retractor is a device that adjusts the length of the seat belt according to the occupant’s sitting posture, body shape, etc., and retracts the webbing when not in use. Divided into ELR and ALR. 3. Fixing mechanism The fixing mechanism includes buckles, lock tongues, fixing pins and fixing seats, etc. The buckle and tongue are the devices for fastening and unfastening the seat belt. The end of the webbing that is fixed to the body is called a fixing plate, the fixed end of the body is called a fixing seat, and the bolts used for fixing are called fixing bolts. The position of the shoulder safety belt fixing pin has a great impact on the convenience of fastening the safety belt. Therefore, in order to suit passengers of various sizes, an adjustable fixing mechanism is generally used to adjust the position of the shoulder safety belt up and down. Principle The function of the retractor is to store the webbing and lock the webbing from being pulled out. It is the most complex mechanical part in the safety belt. Inside the retractor is a ratchet mechanism. Under normal circumstances, the occupants can freely pull the webbing on the seat at a constant speed. However, once the continuous pulling process of the webbing from the retractor stops or when the vehicle encounters an emergency, the ratchet mechanism will act. The locking action automatically locks the webbing and prevents the webbing from being pulled out. Installation fixings are lugs, plug-ins, bolts, etc. that are connected to the car body or seat components. Their installation position and firmness directly affect the protective effect of the seat belt and the comfort of the occupants. Performance 1. Seat belt design elements Seat belts should be designed to meet the requirements of occupant protection performance, reminder to use seat belts, as well as comfort and convenience. The design means to achieve the above points are the selection of the position of the seat belt adjuster, the specifications of the seat belt and the auxiliary devices used. 2. Occupant protection performance The requirements for the occupant protection performance of car seat belts are as follows: restrain the occupant as early as possible; minimize the pressure on the occupant when restraining; keep the restraint position unchanged so that the restraint force avoids the more vulnerable parts of the human body. As a means to achieve the above goals, the use of the pretensioner and force limiter described above significantly improves the performance in these aspects.
