Do you know these functions of engine oil?

Many friends know that the engine oil needs to be changed when the vehicle is maintained, but many people don’t know what the function of engine oil is and how to choose engine oil. Today, Xiao Jia will introduce you to the knowledge about engine oil!

Automobile lubricating oil can be generally divided into three types because of its different functions: engine oil, gearbox and differential oil, and grease (butter). The most common thing in vehicle maintenance is to change the engine oil.

Engine oil has five functions.

Lubrication function: the function of engine oil is to fill and lubricate the surfaces of moving parts and reduce the friction between moving parts. Its working principle is: the engine oil is pressurized by the oil pump and transported between the rotating parts, and an oil film is formed on the two friction surfaces to separate them, thus reducing the contact surface between moving parts, thus reducing wear and prolonging the service life of parts. There is surface friction between piston and cylinder, crank-connecting rod mechanism, cam valve train, gear rotating mechanism, etc., which must be lubricated by engine oil to ensure normal working conditions.

Cooling function: engine oil can bring back part of the heat generated between the rotating parts of the engine to the oil pan, and achieve the cooling effect through the oil pan wall. Some engines are also equipped with special engine oil radiators to achieve better cooling effect, so as to ensure the normal temperature between the rotating parts of the engine and keep the engine in normal working condition for a long time.

Sealing function: The engine oil also has a sealing function. For example, the engine piston ring and the cylinder wall are filled with engine oil, so that the contact surface and the gap have both a lubricating function and a sealing function, so that the piston can reduce air leakage when inhaling and compressing, and ensure the normal working compression ratio. If the piston ring and cylinder wall are worn, the sealing effect of engine oil can be improved by adjusting the viscosity of engine oil or adding engine oil additives, thus improving the working condition of the engine.

Cleaning function: The engine oil is pressurized by the oil pump and transported between the rotating parts of various parts for lubrication and heat dissipation. At the same time, it can also wash and clean the rotating working surface of the parts, bring the dust particles entering the engine and the garbage generated by the work to the oil pan, and keep the engine parts, rotating working surface and oil passage clean and smooth through the oil collection net and oil filter, thus ensuring the normal operation of the engine.

Rust-proof function: The working environment of the engine is complicated, and the climate change in spring, summer, autumn and winter will easily cause the metal parts to rust and deform, which will affect the normal operation of the engine and shorten its service life. The oil is pressurized by the oil pump and supplied to all parts and metal surfaces through the oil passage to form an oil film to isolate the air, which can prevent the metal surface from oxidation and rust and improve the service life of the engine.

If the engine is likened to the heart of a car, then the engine oil is the blood of the engine, which is a necessary condition to ensure the normal operation of the engine. Understanding the knowledge of engine oil, correctly selecting and using engine oil, and regularly replacing and maintaining it are very important to ensure the normal operation of the engine and prolong its service life.

Closed-door talks and no press conference, Biden’s Scholz talks were approved as "too mysterious"

  [Global Times Comprehensive Report] German Chancellor Angela Scholz visited the White House on the 3rd local time to hold talks with US President Biden. The visit was not accompanied by any media, business delegations and cabinet ministers, and no joint press conference was held after the talks between the two sides. The media have questioned what is hidden behind this "mysterious visit". Some analysts believe that Germany and Germany are full of contradictions on issues such as aid to Ukrainian tanks, the explosion of the "Beixi" natural gas pipeline and the US Inflation Reduction Act, which is full of protectionism. However, as the "younger brother" of the United States, German leaders can do nothing about it. Germany’s "Star" magazine recently published a cover article saying that "Big Brother is back". The cover cartoon shows Biden holding Scholz, who is only half as tall, while the latter looks up at Big Brother.

  Leave it to the public for only four minutes

  "Mysterious visit", DPA said on the 4th that Scholz held talks with Biden at the White House on Friday, but this meeting only gave the public four minutes to observe. In his public appearance before the talks, Scholz said in English, "I really appreciate the good cooperation between us" and the transatlantic partnership is "in a very good state". Biden praised Scholz’s "strong leadership" and support for Ukraine, and said that the two countries would "help Ukraine with Qi Xin" and "keep pace in all aspects".

  Then the two began to talk behind closed doors. The report questioned that the talks were "too mysterious". There were no consultants and recordings for the talks between the two sides, and there was no joint press conference after the talks. The report also complained that Biden ignored Berlin in his previous "trip to Europe". Biden visited Ukraine and Poland a few days ago and only made a short stop at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany. On the contrary, this is Scholz’s second visit to Washington since he took office.

  The Associated Press quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that the meeting between Biden and Scholz lasted for more than an hour, and the focus of the discussion was to continue to promote "global assistance to Ukraine". However, even Scholz’s senior advisers were not allowed to attend the talks. When their talks ended, Biden said half jokingly that they "solved all the problems in the world". However, the official statement issued by the two countries after the meeting hardly provided more details of the talks, and did not disclose any possible agreements or plans.

  The secret visit and talks angered the German opposition. German CDU leader Mertz questioned in an interview with "German Editorial Network" on the 4th: "No one in our parliament and the German public knows the contents of this visit." He accused Scholz of keeping his Washington trip secret, which was "unconventional".

  The New York Times said that there is growing opposition in the United States and Germany to aid Ukraine, and Scholz and Biden are also facing the upcoming general election (German parliamentary elections will be held in 2025). Jens, a senior researcher at the German Marshall Foundation, said that in terms of the long-term sustainability of political support, both of them face great resistance. For domestic political purposes, they need each other.

  German-American relations are frequently questioned.

  Although Biden called virtue "in step with all aspects", many analysts believe that there are many practical contradictions between virtues on many issues. CNN said that in the two countries, the voice against providing military assistance to Kiev is becoming louder and louder. Therefore, although the two sides announced that they would provide main battle tanks to Ukraine, they still shirked the relevant details. Not long ago, Sullivan, Assistant to the President of the United States for National Security Affairs, claimed that the United States agreed to deliver M1 main battle tanks to Ukraine under the "hard pressure" of Germany. The American statement angered Germany. The german government immediately refuted the us statement. At the Munich security conference not long ago, German Defense Minister pistorius complained without name that "some countries prefer to hide behind Germany" when it comes to tank aid.

  The explosion of the Russian-European "Beixi" natural gas pipeline in September last year is another point of disagreement between the United States and Germany. Before Scholz’s visit to the United States, a number of German lawmakers demanded that Scholz should take tough words against the United States when meeting Biden. However, judging from the public information, the talks did not mention the "Beixi" incident. "Russia Today" TV station said that the German government remained silent half a year after the incident. "The vassal position of the United States does not allow Berlin to talk about who is behind the scenes, and Germany’s foreign policy is completely locked in the track of Washington", which will make "Germany’s future into a dead end".

  In addition, Biden signed the "Inflation Reduction Act" last year, and its protectionist provisions dealt a serious blow to the automobile industry in Germany and other European countries. Agence France-Presse said that Germany-US relations are relatively close (closer than France-US relations) because of its heavy dependence on NATO and US military protection. But in fact, relations between the two countries have fluctuated recently. For example, the US Inflation Reduction Act heavily subsidized the green industry, which triggered a strong rebound in Germany, but was ignored by Washington.

  Before the talks, White House officials said that the China issue was also one of the topics of the talks. However, during this visit, Scholz avoided the topic of China. "Deutsche Welle" said that Germany is still waiting to see that China is Germany’s most important trading partner, and the idea of losing business in China will "cause German manufacturers to worry about their survival".

  "Big Brother is back."

  Tsargrad TV station in Russia said that at present, the political and military prestige of the West is in jeopardy, and the Western people are increasingly dissatisfied with the government’s practice of arching fire. Due to lack of confidence in France, Britain’s economic situation is difficult and it is no longer a member of the European Union. The United States hopes that Germany will play a key role in mobilizing the European Union against Russia and China. According to the report, judging from the brief press release issued by the two sides after the talks, Scholz showed its "loyalty to Washington as a vassal country. Americans know how to treat weak politicians and obedient countries. "

  "Big Brother is back", the cover article of the latest issue of German "Star" magazine reported on this topic. For Scholz, "Fortunately, there is Biden — — We can count on the United States again in the conflicts with Russia and China. ".

  Volodin, chairman of the Russian State Duma (lower house of parliament), wrote on social media on the same day, according to a report by RIA Novosti on the 5th: "The United States once again shows that its basic policy principle is to use other countries to realize its own interests. The United States forced European countries to support the Kiev regime at the expense of their citizens’ welfare, but their own expenses were much less than those of other countries. " He said that the United States spent only 0.37% of its GDP on supporting Ukraine, while Poland spent 2.1% of its GDP. In addition, EU countries have paid an extra price for anti-Russian sanctions, which has affected the national economy. The loss of energy in European countries is about 570 billion euros, and the loss in Germany accounts for 7.2% of GDP.

Can "Cooperation Agreement" Avoid "Labor Relations"?

  Who is responsible for the traffic accident on the way to work? Similar problems still plague many "riders". Recently, Beijing Tongcheng Bing Technology Co., Ltd. lost a lawsuit in a motor vehicle traffic accident liability dispute trial, which caused more than 20,000 yuan to the plaintiff in traffic accident compensation, and was also recognized as "having a labor relationship with the courier". However, in the cooperation agreement signed between the courier and the company, Tongcheng Bing Company still defines the business model of "platform+individual" as "business cooperation relationship", which is not adjusted by labor laws and regulations. To this end, many couriers have questioned whether such a cooperation agreement is reasonable and legal.

A courier on the streets of Jinan

 

  After the flash was awarded more than 20 thousand yuan, the plaintiff dropped the lawsuit

 

  A few days ago, a civil judgment issued by the Dongcheng District People’s Court in Beijing showed that on March 25, 2021, a traffic accident occurred between the citizen He Mou and the flash driver Li Mou, causing the plaintiff He Mou to be injured and the contact part of the vehicle damaged. The traffic management department determined that Li, the flasher, was fully responsible for the accident, and He sued Beijing Tongcheng Bing Technology Co., Ltd., the company to which the flasher belongs, for compensation.


  In this regard, the same city Bing Company argued that there was no employment relationship with the flasher Li. However, after the court heard the case, it was determined that the company had an employment relationship with the courier Li, and the same city Bing was sentenced to pay He 20,770 yuan.


  However, Bing Company in the same city appealed the verdict again last month. According to the judgment document of the second instance published on March 8, after the appeal of the same city Bing Company, the plaintiff He Mou applied to the court to withdraw the prosecution. As for the reasons for withdrawing the lawsuit, the reporter sent a letter to consult the Flash Brand Department, but as of press time, he did not receive a reply.

 

  Flash delivery has been listed as the person subjected to execution for many times due to accident disputes.

 

  The reporter found out that this kind of traffic accident liability dispute has become the main legal risk of Bing Company in the same city. Sky Eye Survey shows that the top three cases in the company are motor vehicle traffic accident liability disputes (95 cases), labor disputes (37 cases), and disputes over life, health and body rights (31 cases). In the first three months of this year alone, there were 19 court announcements or civil judgments issued by Tongcheng Bing Company.


  It is noteworthy that Tongcheng Bing was listed as the executor by the local court several times. Eye-catching investigation shows that Beijing Tongcheng Bing Technology Co., Ltd. was enforced by the court seven times for failing to fulfill its legal obligations on time, at least four of which involved traffic accident liability disputes of flashers.


  In August last year, the flasher Jiao Mou collided with the plaintiff, and the same city Bing Company proposed to recognize Jiao Mou’s accident in the process of sending "flashover" and agreed to bear the losses within a reasonable range of the plaintiff. The Chaoyang District People’s Court of Beijing ruled that Jiao and Bing Company in the same city jointly bear more than 5,000 yuan in compensation. However, on December 13, 2021, Tongcheng Bing Company and Jiao Mou failed to fulfill their legal obligations and were listed as executors with an execution target of 5,304 yuan.

 

  Regarding the determination of the labor relationship of the "flash worker", Flash once replied to our reporter in September 2020 that the legal relationship between the flash worker and the platform is still inconclusive at the legal level, and the current effective judgments all determine that there is no labor relationship. However, after a year and a half, now looking at the trend of court decisions, it seems that the company can no longer easily "throw the pot".

 

  Cooperation agreement can not avoid the identification of labor relations.

 

  The reporter learned from the mouth of the courier that the basis for the "throwing pot" of the courier comes from the "Cooperation Agreement" signed between the courier and the platform. The agreement stipulates that the platform and the courier establish a business cooperation relationship, and there is no labor relationship between the employer and the laborer, which is not adjusted by labor laws and regulations.   


  In this regard, many flashers openly questioned on the platforms such as Post Bar and Zhihu, emphasizing that the company needs to purchase specified equipment for single quantity assessment, which obviously goes beyond the so-called "cooperative relationship".


  Is such a "cooperation agreement" reasonable and legal? Ma Sicheng, a lawyer of Shanghai Duanhe Duan (Jinan) Law Firm, said: The cooperation agreement does not conform to the provisions of the labor law. Now the legal judgment on such issues is in a transitional period and cannot be treated with a fixed eye. However, common problems such as injuries caused by riders, whether it is labor relations or labour relation, should be borne by the platform. At present, the people’s courts judge similar cases by using the legal provisions that laborers cause damage to people and providers cause damage to third parties.


  At the National People’s Congress in 2022, Pi Jianlong, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and director of Beijing Jintai Law Firm, pointed out in the proposal that the development of flexible employment and platform employment deformed the original "standard labor relations" and led to the establishment of multiple labor relations. In July, 2021, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and other eight departments jointly issued the Guiding Opinions on Safeguarding the Labor Security Rights and Interests of Workers in New Employment Forms, but Pi Jianlong pointed out that the Guiding Opinions are policy norms and are not legally mandatory. It is necessary to further determine the protection of the rights and interests of workers in new formats in law and give them "strong protection" in the labor law.

Brief history of glass

  Man made glass more than 5000 years ago. Archaeological evidence shows that in Egypt and Mesopotamia in 3000 BC, people have made some small handicrafts such as amulets and beads with glass.

  By around 1500 BC, people’s skills in making glass were becoming more and more mature, and the first glass container appeared in human history. The ancient Egyptians also mastered the technology of coloring glass. They know that adding copper powder to glass can make red glass, adding cobalt powder can make blue glass, and adding tin powder can make white glass … These colored glasses are used by some unscrupulous businessmen to pretend to be jewelry, deceiving many people.

  In the 1st century BC, Syrians invented the technology of blowing glass. With this technology, making glass becomes simple, fast and cheap. Since then, the glass industry has flourished in the Roman Empire and quickly spread to other countries under the rule of the Roman Empire.

  Around the 1st century A.D., the Romans discovered that adding a proper amount of manganese dioxide to glass could make colorless glass, so they began to make windows out of glass and install them on buildings. Although the optical performance of glass at that time was very poor, glass windows were still "standard" for buildings in Rome, Pompeii and other places.

  In the 8th century, Venice concentrated a large number of glass workers and became the glass manufacturing center at that time. Later, with the progress of science and art, people "played" more tricks, such as dyeing paint on glass and drawing colorful patterns. Many churches we see now have stained glass windows, which is the architectural style left over at that time.

  In the mid-15th century, a glass worker in Venice invented a new type of super transparent glass. Soon, this new type of glass was used to make telescopes, thermometers, flasks, microscopes and other scientific instruments, which led to many important scientific discoveries.

  Around the 18th century, the glass manufacturing center in Europe moved from Venice to Britain. At that time, the output of British glass factories was very high. At one time, the British government would levy taxes based on the number of windows in each house, on the grounds that wealthy families would install more windows, and of course they should pay more taxes. However, "there are policies above and countermeasures below", and many families simply blocked the windows in order to avoid paying taxes-this story shows that the use of glass was quite common in Britain at that time.

  Since the industrial revolution, steel and glass have become important building materials for modern architecture. In 1851, Britain built a "Crystal Palace", which only used steel and glass. This miraculous building was also the exhibition hall of the first World Expo in London. In 1950s, a German architect innovatively covered the facade of the building with a layer of glass, which made the appearance of the building look unprecedented. This innovative design can be successful, on the one hand, because there is a reinforced frame inside the modern building, and the facade does not need to bear the weight of the whole building; On the other hand, because the strength of glass has become higher. So many skyscrapers we see now have glass facades.

  Nowadays, scientists and engineers have developed a variety of glasses, which have important uses in many fields. For example, there is a kind of glass that can quickly transmit network information, that is, optical cable, which is filled with thousands of glasses as thin as hair, in which communication signals shuttle in the form of light and quickly transmit information to all parts of the world.

  Sand and glass

  The main component of glass is silica, that is, Shi Ying, which is one of the most common minerals on the earth. The sand that can be seen everywhere is actually a small particle in Shi Ying. When Shi Ying is heated to 1400℃, it will melt, then become soft and become a transparent, viscous liquid-then it will be cooled and shaped, and then the glass will be finished.

  How did sand become glass?

  On the atomic scale, silicon dioxide is composed of silicon atoms and oxygen atoms, and they are arranged in order in Shi Ying. For example, a group of silicon atoms and oxygen atoms are neatly arranged to form a "queue" with specific arrangement rules, and the whole "queue" is Shi Ying particles. A structure like this, which consists of a large number of microscopic substance units (such as atoms and ions) arranged in an orderly manner according to certain rules, is called a crystal.

  After Shi Ying melted, its internal crystal structure was destroyed, or the original "queue" was disrupted, and silicon atoms and oxygen atoms began to "run" freely, making Shi Ying change from solid to liquid. Of course, if the liquid Shi Ying can be cooled quickly, the crystal structure will be re-formed, just like the silicon atoms and oxygen atoms that "run" at will "stand" in the original position in the queue again.

  However, if the cooling speed is too fast, so that silicon atoms and oxygen atoms can’t return to their original positions, then they can only be condensed in their current positions. Therefore, the final glass is like a snapshot of liquid Shi Ying. Scientists have a special name for this state of solid, called "amorphous solid", which means that this kind of solid is different from crystal, and there is no orderly arrangement rule in its internal structure.

  Why is glass transparent?

  We can’t go straight through the glass, but our eyes can see the objects on the other side through the glass. Why?

  We can see an object because the light is reflected or scattered after it reaches this object, which makes some light enter our eyes and let us see the shape and color of the object. Only a part of light energy is received by our eyes, and the rest is absorbed or intercepted by objects.

  How much light an object can intercept depends on the kind of molecules or atoms that make it up.

  Most of the atoms in the glass don’t intercept light, and almost all the light that reaches the glass can be received by the eyes (glass can intercept ultraviolet light, but our eyes can’t see ultraviolet light). In addition, glass is not crystal, and there is no edge edge edge of crystal structure inside, so it will not scatter light. So, when the light reaches the glass, it will go straight through without changing its direction.

  However, if a piece of glass is slightly thicker in some places, the propagation path of light will be bent, which is the working principle of a prism.
