Improve Operational Efficiency and Look at the Development of Trailers from Wuhan Auto Show


At the just-concluded Wuhan Auto Show, besides the trucks of the National IV, the trailer grabbed a lot of limelight to a certain extent. It can be said to be very conspicuous. The following Xiaobian will take everyone to look at the Wuhan Commercial Vehicle Show. What are the characteristics of the trailers on display?


Lightweight: Aluminum alloy / large single tire / air suspension can not be less

Under the premise of today’s weight-based toll, light weight is a topic that can't be ignored whether it is the main vehicle or the trailer. At Wuhan Commercial Vehicle Show, light weight is also everywhere. The main vehicle is mainly aluminum alloy fuel tank, aluminum alloy. Gas tanks, aluminum alloy wheels, and airbag suspension applications.


As regards the trailers, lighter weight is more obvious, and the light-weight design of high-strength steel trailers need not be mentioned. Look at the three main trailer exhibitors in Hall B, CIMC Booth, Changshu Shenyi, and Junlin Fulu Haofu. Basically, there are three common steel light weight trailers in CIMC. Other models have adopted lightweight materials such as aluminum alloys and composite panels more or less.


An efficient logistics vehicle was also exhibited at the CIMC booth. The car adopts a carbon fiber box. The 9.6-meter carriage weighs only 1.6 tons. The chassis uses a through-beam design. With a thin carbon fiber cabin, the box volume reaches 64.6 cubic meters. It is more efficient to load and unload vehicles with hydraulic hoardings.

Chassis lightweight design is also everywhere, airbag suspension, aluminum alloy wheels, large single tires and other models on the overall image of the small car shopping tour show, there are nearly half of the models using these lightweight configurations, are participating models, Not worthy of these is not very cheap? How can there be "face"? Of course, when a user purchases a car model, it is still a large sum of money to weigh the lightweight of the "silver" in the pocket.

Specialization: Increased handling efficiency with side curtain/flying semitrailers

In developed countries such as Europe and the United States, the proportion of special-purpose vehicles accounts for more than 80% of commercial vehicles, while China’s current proportion is about 40%. The development prospect of China’s special-purpose vehicles is huge. Of course, the trailer is no exception. At present, China’s trailers are still in warehouses. Bars and other common trailers are the mainstays. Homogeneity is very serious and competition is becoming more and more intense.


The powder material transportation vehicle and the tanker do not have much to say, their specialization is very high, the transportation medium is quite single, and the efficiency of loading and unloading is very high. However, users with very high one-time investment and ordinary users who do not have fixed sources of supply are generally hard to start and continue to make profits. At the Wuhan Auto Show on the CIMC booth, the four-axis aluminum alloy tanker used for export, as well as the refrigerated semi-trailer on the stand, all cost more than 500,000 yuan.


In addition, the side curtain type, flying wing semi-trailer is a very good choice for some express logistics companies. At the Wuhan Auto Show, the three major trailer manufacturers exhibited by CIMC, Changshu Shenyi and Junlin Fulu were all flying-wing models. Flying-wing models did not say much about improving the efficiency of cargo handling.


At the Scania booth, Scania teamed up with Changshu Shenyi's side curtain trailers to demonstrate the logistics concept of “Efficient Logistics Operations” and the fast operational flow in the dynamic demonstration area of ​​the auto show. The driver can easily open the side curtains of the trailer and handle it with a forklift. The cargo loaded on the 13-meter-side curtain-trailer took only 20 minutes to complete the unloading. It takes 2 hours of loading and unloading time compared to the traditional trailer, and it can be called a speed.

Reduced wind resistance: Trailer skirting products for trailers

In foreign countries, in addition to the main vehicle with diversion hood and side skirts, on the trailer, we can also see the chassis side skirts and tail covers of the trailers that reduce the drag coefficient. However, at home, the front top diversion hoods are still available. Just got attention, trailers with deflectors, shrouds are rare.


At the Wuhan Commercial Vehicle Show in the exhibition booth, we also saw side skirt shroud products on a van semi-trailer. Modern fast-moving semi-trailers, such as driving at speeds of over 85 kilometers per hour, have nearly half of their driving resistance coming from air resistance. The use of deflectors and shrouds can effectively reduce the air resistance during high-speed driving and, to some extent, the economy of the entire vehicle.

Editor's Note: Increasing operational efficiency is the ultimate goal

From this Wuhan Commercial Vehicle Show, we can easily see that the use of aluminum alloy material has become quite common, CIMC has even tested the carbon fiber material, aluminum alloy wheels, large single tires, airbag suspension, etc. almost become the standard, lightweight trend Has become increasingly fierce; side curtain type, flying wing semi-trailer is conducive to greatly improve the handling efficiency; side skirt shroud products can also reduce fuel consumption to a certain extent.

However, in retrospect, the ultimate goal of lightweighting, specialization, and reduction of wind resistance is to increase operational efficiency and bring more economic benefits to users, no matter how the trailer is later developed, but it must be around bringing more users. The ultimate goal of this economic development is to develop.

Stamping die frame: the perfect combination of manufacturing process and market development

With the rapid development of manufacturing industry, stamping die frame as an important processing tool has been widely used in automotive, aviation, electronics and other fields. This article will introduce the basic concept, design principles, production process, market status and development prospects of stamping die frame in detail to help readers better understand this field.

First, the basic concept of stamping die frame

Stamping die frame is a kind of die frame for stamping processing, which is mainly composed of upper die, lower die, die handle, guide post, guide sleeve and other parts. The role of the stamping die is to ensure the accuracy and stability of the mold installation, and to facilitate the stamping operation. According to the processing needs, the stamping die frame can be divided into simplex die frame and multi-station die frame.

Second, the design principle of stamping die frame

The design principle of stamping die frame mainly includes reasonable structure, accurate size and high precision. The structural design needs to be optimized according to product requirements and processing equipment to achieve a smooth and efficient stamping process. Dimensional accuracy is strictly required to ensure the stability and service life of the mold. High precision can improve product quality and production efficiency.

Third, the production process of stamping die frame

The production process of stamping die frame includes three links: processing, assembly and inspection. The processing link includes material selection, cutting, grinding and other steps, requiring strict control of errors. The assembly process needs to ensure the precision and stability of each part. The inspection link tests the overall performance of the mold frame to ensure that it meets the requirements of use.

Fourth, the market status of stamping die frame

At present, the market competition is fierce, and price and quality have become the key factors for enterprise competition. Some large mold enterprises have strong R & D capabilities and technical advantages, can provide high-end stamping die products, the price is relatively high. Some small and medium-sized enterprises rely on the low price strategy to provide middle and low-end products. In general, the quality of stamping products on the market is uneven.
