Chikwata cheBWT Alpine F1 chashandisa Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) kuti chiwedzere mashandiro emota dzavo nekugadzira titanium hydraulic accumulators inoshanda zvizere ine hunyanzvi hushoma.
Chikwata cheBWT Alpine F1 chave chichishanda ne3D Systems kwemakore akati wandei mukubatsirana mukupa nekuvandudza michina. Chichitanga kutanga muna 2021, chikwata ichi, chine vatyairi Fernando Alonso naEsteban Ocon vakapedza vari panhamba 10 ne11 zvichiteerana mwaka wadarika, chakasarudza tekinoroji ye3D Systems yekudhinda simbi zvakananga (DMP) kugadzira zvikamu zvakaoma.
Alpine inoramba ichivandudza mota dzayo, ichivandudza uye ichivandudza mashandiro ayo munguva pfupi pfupi. Matambudziko aripo anosanganisira kushanda munzvimbo shoma iripo, kuchengetedza huremu hwechikamu hwakaderera sezvinobvira, uye kutevedzera mitemo inochinja.
Nyanzvi dze3D Systems' Applied Innovation Group (AIG) dzakapa timu yeF1 hunyanzvi hwekugadzira zvinhu zvakaoma zvakakomberedzwa zvine ma geometries emukati ane titanium anonetsa uye anoshanda.
Kugadzira zvinhu zvinowedzerwa zvinopa mukana wakasiyana wekukunda matambudziko ekuvandudzwa kwechinhu nekukurumidza nekupa zvikamu zvakaoma kwazvo zvine nguva pfupi yekutungamira. Kune zvikamu zvakaita seAlpine's hydraulic accumulators, chikamu chinobudirira chinoda hunyanzvi hwekuwedzera hwekugadzira nekuda kwekuoma kwekugadzira uye zvinodiwa zvekuchena zvakanyanya.
Kune ma accumulators, kunyanya rear suspension fluid inertia coil, timu yemujaho yakagadzira damper ine waya yakaoma iyo iri chikamu che rear suspension damper mu rear suspension system mu gearbox main box.
Accumulator ichubhu refu, yakasimba inochengeta uye inoburitsa simba kusvika pakuchinja-chinja kwesimba. AM inogonesa Alpine kuwedzera kureba kwe damping coil uku ichirongedza mashandiro akazara munzvimbo diki.
"Takagadzira chikamu ichi kuti chishande zvakanaka sezvinobvira uye kuti chigovane ukobvu hwemadziro pakati pemachubhu ari pedyo," akatsanangura Pat Warner, maneja mukuru wekugadzira madhijitari wechikwata cheBWT Alpine F1. "AM chete ndiyo inogona kuita izvi."
Koira yekupedzisira ye titanium damping yakagadzirwa uchishandisa 3D Systems' DMP Flex 350, sisitimu yesimbi inoshanda zvakanyanya ine mhepo yekudhindisa isina simba. Magadzirirwo akasiyana esystem e3D Systems' DMP machines anoita kuti zvikamu zvive zvakasimba, zvakarurama, zvakachena nemakemikari, uye zvinodzokororwa zvinodiwa kugadzira zvikamu.
Panguva yekushanda, damping coil inozadzwa nemvura uye inoderedza kumanikidzwa kwesimba mukati mehurongwa nekupinza nekuburitsa simba. Kuti ishande zvakanaka, mvura ine zvinodiwa pakuchena kudzivirira kusvibiswa.
Kugadzira nekugadzira chikamu ichi uchishandisa metal AM kune zvakanakira zvakawanda maererano nekushanda, kubatanidzwa muhurongwa hukuru, uye kuchengetedza huremu. 3D Systems inopa software inonzi 3DXpert, software inogadzirwa nesimbi imwe chete yekugadzira, kugadzirisa uye kutarisira mashandiro ekudhinda simbi.
Chikwata cheBWT Alpine F1 chakasarudza LaserForm Ti Gr23 (A) yemabhatiri ayo, chichitaura nezvesimba rayo guru uye kugona kwayo kugadzira zvikamu zvakatetepa sezvikonzero zvekusarudza kwayo.
3D Systems ishamwari yemazana emabasa akakosha mumaindasitiri uko mhando nekushanda zvakanaka zvinonyanya kukosha. Kambani iyi inopawo tekinoroji yekubatsira vatengi kuti vabudirire kushandisa zvigadzirwa zvekuwedzera muzvivakwa zvavo.
Zvichitevera kubudirira kwezviunganidzi zvetitanium zvechikwata cheBWT Alpine F1, Warner akati chikwata chinokurudzirwa kutsvaga zvimwe zvinhu zvakaoma zvesuspension mugore rinouya.
