Analysis of Innovation Practice of Auto Parts in Auto Parts

With the rapid development of science and technology, the automobile industry, as an important part of manufacturing industry, is constantly breaking through itself in technological innovation. From internal combustion engine to electrification and intelligence, from mechanical transmission to electronic control, every progress of automobile industry is inseparable from technological innovation of parts and components. This paper will discuss how to promote the development of auto parts and components through innovation under the current background.

First, the progress of materials science

1. Lightweight design: With the enhancement of environmental awareness and the improvement of fuel efficiency requirements, it is a trend to use new alloys or composite materials with lighter weight but higher strength. For example, carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is not only light in weight but also good in corrosion resistance, and is widely used in automobile body panels and other parts. Compared with traditional steel products, aluminum wheels have reduced the weight by more than 20%.

2. Environmental protection paint: Using water-based paint instead of oily paint can reduce the emission of volatile organic compounds, and at the same time, it has good adhesion and corrosion resistance.

Second, the optimization of manufacturing process

1. Application of 3D printing technology: Using additive manufacturing principle to produce small-batch customized parts with complex shapes greatly shortens the research and development cycle and reduces the cost. Such as intake manifold, radiator bracket and other components with complex structures can be rapidly formed.

2. Intelligent assembly line: The robot vision system is introduced for precise positioning and grasping, which improves the automation level of the production line and ensures the consistency and stability of product quality.

Third, the expansion of functionality

1. ADAS system integration: Autopilot technology has gradually matured, and the demand for key components such as radar sensors and camera modules has surged. These smart devices can help drivers identify changes in road environment and provide driving assistance.

2. Development of V2X communication module: The vehicle networking platform connects information exchange channels between vehicles and other traffic participants, which promotes traffic safety and service experience upgrade. Therefore, it is necessary to equip corresponding wireless communication unit to realize data transmission function.

Fourth, summary

To sum up, in the future, the field of automobile parts and components will continue to pay attention to the research and application of new materials and new processes, and carry out technological innovation activities around the direction of intelligence and networking. This is not only an effective means to meet market challenges, but also the only way to promote the high-quality development of the automobile industry. At the same time, enterprises need to pay attention to the protection of intellectual property rights, establish and improve the patent application process, and escort their core competitiveness.
