Since the introduction of the "T-Ford" by Henry Ford in the United States in 1908, time has passed for 100 years. In the meantime, although the car has made great progress in terms of safety, exhaust gas purification, comfort, etc., from the point of view of using a gasoline engine (or diesel engine), the car has not undergone substantial changes.
But today, including the transition of the driving mode from the internal combustion engine to the electric mode, and the change of control means from mechanical to software, the car began to be submerged in the vortex of essential changes. After the car has been completed for a hundred years, it is now welcoming a new stage of development for the next century. The promotion of automotive development and evolution is based on global warming and environmental issues, as well as the social needs to achieve zero mortality in traffic accidents.
The beginning of "Electric Car Century"
So far, the electrification of automobiles is developing in the form of hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles, but since the price of electrically driven vehicles is higher than that of ordinary cars, it is impossible to get rid of the minority status. However, as the price of gasoline has soared in an unprecedented way (Japan has risen to 1L over 180 yen in early July 2008), the social status of electric vehicles is gradually changing. For example, although Toyota's second-generation Prius has been on the market for nearly five years, its sales in 2008 have increased significantly from the previous year.
In addition to the skyrocketing oil prices, the severity of the impact of global warming on humans has been widely recognized, which has also played a key role in the transformation of the car. Before the opening of the "Hokkaido Toyako Summit" in July 2008, Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda announced the "Futian Vision" on behalf of the Japanese government, saying that compared with 2005, Japan's CO2 emissions will be reduced by 14% by 2020. , by 60 to 80% before 2050.
In view of the increased attention paid to environmental issues, Nissan has changed its attitude in one fell swoop. Previously, the company believed that the cost of hybrid vehicles was high, the possibility of popularization was limited, and the production plan was abandoned. Negative attitude towards car electrification. However, in May 2008, Nissan’s “Nissan GT2012†– the new business plan for the fiscal year 2008-2012, made a commitment to “become a leader in zero-emission vehiclesâ€, indicating that it will start production in fiscal year 2010. electric car.
In response to Nissan's electric vehicle production plan, Nissan and NEC Group's semi-financed Automotive Energy Supply (AESC) also announced that it is scheduled to start producing lithium-ion rechargeable batteries in 2009, and will first be equipped in a small commercial forklift that will be launched in 2009. . Nissan's electric vehicles will also use AESC's lithium-ion rechargeable batteries.
Lithium Energy Japan, a joint venture between GS Yuasa, Mitsubishi Corporation and Mitsubishi Motors in December 2007, will also produce lithium-ion rechargeable batteries from 2009. The company plans to produce lithium-ion rechargeable batteries equivalent to 200,000 battery cells in the first year, and supply half of them to Mitsubishi Motors' "iMiEV", which is expected to be launched in 2009, and the rest for industrial use.
Sanyo Electric, the world's largest manufacturer of small-sized lithium-ion rechargeable batteries for digital products, will introduce a total of 80 billion yen before 2015 by introducing a lithium-ion rechargeable battery production line for hybrid vehicles by March 2009. Production capacity increased to 10 million monthly production.
In addition, Toshiba has started mass production of the lithium-ion rechargeable battery "SCiB" that can be rapidly charged and discharged in March 2008, and intends to expand industrial use and vehicle use, and the business scale will reach 100 billion yen in 2015.
In the case that companies have expressed their willingness to develop lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, Toyota, which pioneered the production of hybrid vehicles, has also taken action. The company announced three plans at the Toyota Environment Forum in June 2008: (1) Starting in 2010, it will sell plug-in hybrid vehicles equipped with lithium-ion rechargeable batteries for fleet users (Figure 3); (2) In June 2008, the new "Battery Research Department" was established to research and develop a new generation of batteries that outperform lithium-ion rechargeable batteries; (3) From 2009, the joint venture of Toyota and Matsushita Electric Industrial Group, Matsushita Electric Vehicle Energy ( Panasonic EV Energy started to produce a small amount of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries and began to transfer to official mass production in 2010.
Although Honda has a negative attitude towards the company's participation in the production of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, it has strengthened its investment in hybrid vehicles and fuel cell vehicles. In addition to the “new hybrid special vehicle†listed in Japan, the United States and Europe in early 2009, it is expected to receive an annual sales volume of 200,000 units worldwide. The company also plans to increase the types of small hybrid vehicles, which will enable annual sales in the early 1010s. Increased to about 500,000 units.
In addition, in the fuel cell vehicle, the company launched the production of the new fuel cell vehicle "FCX Clarity" in June 2008. Although the output is only 200 vehicles in 3 years, the car's special chassis and body are newly developed, featuring a low-short engine hood that can only be realized with a fuel cell vehicle, and a low-speed, high-torque drive during driving. The engine's characteristics are a car that pursues the unique charm of a fuel cell vehicle.
Spherical Roller Bearings have two rows of rollers, a common sphered outer ring raceway and two inner ring raceways inclined at an angle to the bearing axis . The centre point of the sphere in the outer ring raceway is at the bearing axis. Therefore, these bearings are self-aligning and insensitive to misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing, which can be caused, for example, by shaft deflection. Spherical Roller Bearings are designed to accommodate heavy radial loads, as well as heavy axial loads in both directions.
Bearing performance is not only determined by load or speed ratings. There are a number of other factors that contribute to bearing performance. To a large extent, performance is influenced by the geometry of the rollers, raceways and cages, the heat treatment during manufacture, as well as the surface finish of all contact surfaces.
