Chapter 39
Chapter 038: Water Drop Ripples
Lu Zheng and his wife really don't understand cars, but they still want to see what the Geely Boyue and Dongfeng Shuike that Fang Yuan introduced to them look like before making a decision on whether to buy them.

The three returned to the left side of the garage, and Fang Yuan led them to a white SUV first.

In fact, when Lu Zheng found out that the white SUV in front of him was Geely Boyue, he was a little surprised by the unusual front face shape.

The back-shaped air intake grille, shiny chrome, expands from the inside out from small to large, like ripples on a calm lake, and the shield-shaped car logo in the middle is like a stone thrown into the lake. Standing firmly in the middle.

The height of the special-shaped headlights on both sides is equal to the top of the air intake grille, and they are closely connected, and the angles are smooth and smooth, giving people a sense of unity.

The overall shape of the fog lights and the chrome-plated decorations run across the bottom, giving the road an illusion of deja vu. He thought for a long time before recalling, isn't it the Yu Ruyi in ancient China?
"It's so pretty." Lu Zheng held Fang Yuan's arm with one hand, and pointed at Geely Boyue in the distance with the other, looking happy like an old farmer who has never seen the world.

"Well, that's the 'water drop ripple' style air intake grille, and the chrome-plated front fog lamp trim in the shape of Huaxia Yuruyi.

The family-style styling composed of the two combines Chinese classical elements and international aesthetic trends. The overall appearance looks more concise, with sharper edges and corners, but dynamic and delicate. "To be honest, Fang Yuan also likes Geely Boyue's family-style front face very much, the original 'water drop ripple'-style air intake grille, and the chrome-plated front fog lamp trim in the shape of Yuruyi, which is unique and unique. In terms of recognition, it is no less than BMW's kidney grille.

Looking ahead from a distance, Lu Zheng walked directly to the side of this Geely Boyue and stood still.

From the white A-pillar to the rear, it is completely black. The black windows are integrated with the black B-pillar, C-pillar, and D-pillar, completely separating the roof with the bright silver fitted luggage rack from the body. , giving a visual illusion that the roof is suspended in the air.

"This is called a suspended roof, which can enhance the visual effect in space." Fang Yuan told Lu Zheng and his wife that many models are designed like this, very trendy and fashionable, and very high-end.

Realizing that Lu Zheng really likes the appearance of Geely Boyue, Fang Yuan pointed to the lower waistline and enthusiastically introduced it to him: "This is called the cheetah waistline. With the floating roof above, the dynamic and streamlined design highlights the uniqueness of SUV models. sporty spirit."

"Look at the rear." Fang Yuan told Lu Zheng that the shape of the rear of the car is not as stunning as the front, but Boyue's rear bumper is widened and raised, giving people a solid and more solid sense of security.

Bilateral double-exhaust exhaust, special-shaped red taillights, 18-inch double five-spoke lightning wheels, dazzling, dynamic and smooth, full of trendy style, the visual effect created highlights the sense of power of the SUV.

In short, the exterior design of this Geely Boyue is a perfect fusion of traditional culture and fashion trends, but it is not a little bit abrupt, giving people a harmonious and comfortable feeling.

"Okay, okay, not bad." Lu Zheng and his wife were completely conquered by the appearance of this Geely Boyue, and they said a few words of 'good' with a smile on their faces.

After introducing the appearance, Fang Yuan was about to open the driver's door to let them see the situation inside the car, when suddenly, Lu Zheng opened the passenger's door first.

Fang Yuan thought that Lu was about to get in the car, so he stopped and waited for him to check it out before introducing him.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zheng didn't have the slightest intention of getting into the car, and closed the door heavily.

There was a dull sound of "bang", Lu Zheng stood beside him and nodded, showing a satisfied smile, turned his head and said to Fang Yuan, "The quality is good."

Lu Zheng seemed to be unsatisfied, and opened and closed the remaining three doors one by one. He tried opening and closing all the front and rear doors, and then stopped in satisfaction.

"What? The quality is good?" Fang Yuan was stunned. You don't look at the interior, the chassis, or the suspension. You just open the door and close it again. How do you know the quality is good?
Fang Yuan smiled wryly, it was the first time he had seen such a car inspection.

"The closing sound of each car is different. We check the quality of the car in this way." Seeing that even Fang Yuan didn't know what he was doing, Lu Zheng proudly raised his head and began to educate Fang Yuan about the car door. The duller the sound when it is closed, the better the quality and materials of the car.

"Oh?" Fang Yuan's eyes widened suddenly, he was so annoyed by Lu Zheng's thoughts and words that he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

After taking a few deep breaths, Fang Yuan gradually calmed down his frightened heart, and then lowered his head and thought for a while before saying to Lu Zheng: "The sound of the car door closing can indeed be used as a tool to judge the quality to a certain extent. standard, but it is very incomplete, and the limitations are very large."

"No way? The one who told me this trick was an old driver who had been driving for decades. What did he lie to me for?" Lu Zheng was very unconvinced. Yes, he was indeed unconvinced. How can you compare with those old drivers?
"Shut up, listen to Fang Yuan first." Before Fang Yuan could explain, Zhao Fang slapped her husband on the back of the head, asking him to hear what Fang Yuan had to say.

"Okay, let Fang Yuan talk first." Lu Zheng rubbed the back of his head and backed away repeatedly to avoid his wife's clutches.

"To measure the quality of a car, the most important thing is to look at the three major parts of the car." Fang Yuan saw Lu Zheng's eyes widen in confusion, knowing that he obviously didn't understand what the three major parts of the car meant.

The three major parts of a car refer to the car's engine, gearbox and chassis.

For general models, the manufacturing cost of the three major parts of a car can account for about half of the total price of the entire car.

In order to make Lu Zheng understand, Fang Yuan gave an example, that is, people often say that buying a Honda means buying an engine and giving the car away.

Although this metaphor is very inappropriate, it also proves to a certain extent the importance of the three major parts of a car.

The three major parts of a car account for half of the manufacturing cost, and the rest is the interior, other electronic equipment, mechanical equipment, and so on.

As for what Lu Zheng said, judging the quality of a car model by the sound of the door closing, Fang Yuan felt it was a bit exaggerated.

Even if the quality can be judged, it is only the quality of the door, the sealing effect of the door, etc., and the quality of the three major parts of the car, the interior, electronic equipment, and mechanical equipment, has nothing to do with half a dime.

"Wait, you said that the sound of closing the door has nothing to do with the quality of the car, can you tell me in detail?" Fang Yuan's words broke Lu Zheng's common sense of more than ten years, and he couldn't accept it for a while. Almost confused.

"Let me tell you about the structure of the door, and you will understand why the sound of closing the door is different for each model."

Fang Yuan opened the main driver's door of this Geely Boyue, pointed to the door hinge and said, "There are two types of door hinges: stamping type and casting type."

Stamping parts are thin in structure, easy to manufacture, low in cost, use less materials, and are connected by fixed shafts, which are mostly used in Japanese and Korean models.

The door hinges of European and American cars are cast-type, and the parts are thick and thick, and they are integrally formed, which is expensive and has a large safety factor.

Geely Boyue's door hinges are cast in European and American styles.

Lu Zheng and his wife hooked their heads to examine it carefully, and sure enough, as Fang Yuan introduced, the door hinge part of this Geely Boyue was formed by one-time casting, which looks very thick and large, and of course it is safer when it is hit.

"I know that door hinges are divided into casting type and stamping type, but what does this have to do with sound?" Lu Zheng's thinking still has not changed, and he questioned very stubbornly.

"Shut up, just listen honestly." Zhao Fang slapped Lu Zheng on the back of the head again, not to let him interrupt.

"I will continue to introduce, and I will summarize later." Fang Yuan patted the car door and told Lu Zheng and his wife that there are also two methods of making the car door.

One is the integral stamping type commonly used in European and American models, and the other is the welding type commonly used in Japanese and Korean models.

The welded type is also a non-full frame type, which combines the cut parts by welding. The manufacturing process is complicated, but the material is saved and the cost is low.

However, the one-piece stamping type commonly used in European and American models, that is, the full frame type, uses a whole piece of material and is formed by stamping at one time.

The manufacturing process of the full-frame type is simple. Compared with the waste of raw materials of the welding type, the manufacturing cost is high, but it is more secure in terms of safety. After all, the full-frame type door is stronger when it is hit.

The door of this Geely Boyue is the welded type commonly used in Japanese and Korean models, but black rubber blocks are pasted to cover the door welds.

In addition to the different manufacturing methods of the door hinge and the door, there are side impact beams inside the door that cannot be normally seen from the outside.

The function of the side anti-collision beam is the same as that of the front and rear anti-collision beams of the car body, and it protects the car body during a low-speed collision.

There are three types of side impact beams.

Japanese and Korean models often use round tube-shaped side anti-collision beams, while European and American models use U-shaped or W-shaped side anti-collision beams, and there is another type without side anti-collision beams.

The side anti-collision beam in the door of this Geely Boyue is a round tube-shaped side anti-collision beam commonly used in Japanese and Korean models.

Secondly, there are reinforcing ribs, sound insulation cotton, moisture-proof sealing board\membrane.

Some models have ribs, some don't.

Some of the sound insulation cotton is non-polluting virgin cotton, some are recycled cotton, and some are not at all.

As for the moisture-proof sealing plate/membrane that plays the role of moisture-proof sealing, there are many kinds of manufacturing techniques, and the materials used are all kinds of strange things. It will be unclear to Lu Zheng and his wife in a while, so I will skip it and not go into details.
