With the vigorous development of the new energy vehicle industry, the technical requirements for car water pumps are also increasing. Among them, lightweighting, as one of the important means to improve the performance of new energy vehicles and extend the driving range, is becoming a key direction for the technical upgrade of automobile water pumps. The following is a detailed discussion on the lightweight technology upgrade of water pumps under the influence of new energy vehicles
Structural design optimization
Compact design: In order to meet the good pursuit of space utilization of new energy vehicles, the structural design of car water pumps also tends to be compact. By adopting advanced CAD/CAE technology, the flow channel, impeller and other key components of the water pump are accurately calculated and optimized, which can further reduce its volume and weight while ensuring the performance of the water pump.
Modular design: The introduction of modular design ideas makes the assembly and maintenance of water pumps more convenient. By reasonably dividing the modules, they can be flexibly configured according to different models and cooling requirements, so as to achieve a lighter design goal while ensuring the functional integrity of the water pump.
Innovation of manufacturing technology
Precision machining technology: With the continuous development of precision machining technology, such as the application of CNC machining, laser cutting, 3D printing and other technologies, the manufacturing accuracy of water pumps has been greatly improved. The application of these high-precision processing technologies not only improves the performance and reliability of the water pump, but also provides a strong guarantee for the realization of lightweight design.
Surface treatment technology: By performing special treatment on the surface of the water pump, such as spraying wear-resistant coatings and adopting anodizing processes, the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the water pump can be further improved, thereby extending its service life and reducing the overall weight.
