Chapter 44 Mechanical Drawing
Hou Guomin's initiative to get closer made Jiang Hui's work much smoother.
This expert, who is like a sweeping monk from the Shaolin Temple, has definitely deeper drawing skills than Jiang Hui.
Especially after giving out some size requirements and various boundary conditions of the drawings, Hou Guomin's drawing speed was twice that of Jiang Hui.
This is definitely good news.
As long as some structures of the main parts are determined and technicians from various supporting factories can participate in improving some details, the overall speed is worth looking forward to.
I spent the first day after becoming Jiang's contact in a wonderful mood. Jiang Hui rarely worked overtime.
Because my father-in-law said he would wait for him, but he hasn’t come yet.
I guess the meeting is not over yet.
In state-owned enterprises in this era, ordinary employees do less work, but leaders rarely get off work on time.
"You two go home first, don't wait for me."
Seeing that Hou Guomin and Chen Chenxing were still busy in the conference room and had no intention of getting off work, Jiang Hui reminded them.
He is not the kind of person who forces others to work overtime with him.
"The task of upgrading BJ212 is very heavy. Starting tomorrow, I will bring some changes of clothes and live in the office directly."
"Anyway, the weather is hot now, so there is no need to worry about it. Place to rest.”
When Hou Guomin said this, Chen Chenxing immediately followed suit and said: "Master, everyone is watching you now. We will finalize the plan as soon as possible and produce the prototype car. This is the most important thing."
"Anyway, I have nothing to do when I get home from get off work. Then I will live in the conference room with the waiter, so I can have company."
Jiang Hui:...
Do you want to roll it like this?
You want to live in the office, but I don’t!
There is still a lovely wife waiting for him at home.
"Then you can figure it out for yourself. I will leave with Professor Zhu later."
What Hou Guomin and Chen Chenxing said was correct, Jiang Hui also thought that someone could help him as soon as possible. Help me draw the drawings.
Without the help of a computer, it would really take too much time to draw pictures by hand.
Even if you draw quickly, it still takes a long time to complete.
Especially when it comes to chassis-related parts, there are dozens of drawings to draw for just one subframe.
And these pictures cannot be drawn on A3 or A4 paper, but require the use of A1 or even A0 paper.
Putting the paper on the conference table, I lay down on it to draw. After drawing a picture, I felt that my whole waist was sore.
Drawing boards, pencils of different grades, erasers, T-squares, set squares...
Many engineers in later generations are probably unfamiliar with various drawing tools.
But at present, all walks of life in China, as long as it involves cartography, are basically indispensable for them.
This is especially true in machinery-related industries.
Sometimes it takes you several days to draw a large assembly drawing.
The key is that after you draw it, if you need to modify it, you may not be able to do it directly, and you may need to draw a new picture.
The level of pain is definitely very testing.
People who have studied "Mechanical Drawing" should have a good understanding of it.
Seeing that Hou Guomin and Chen Chenxing were actively involved in the cause of cartography, Jiang Hui said nothing more.
Fortunately, Zhu Jiansheng did not let him wait too long before appearing in the office again.
"It took some time just now to talk to Director Zheng. Let's talk while walking."
Zhu Jiansheng is in a good mood now. In the Department of Vehicle Engineering of Capital University of Technology, as one of the few professors in the department, he can be regarded as a unique presence.
But there are still differences between teaching and research in universities and companies.
With the funds provided by schools or ministries, it is difficult to support Zhu Jiansheng to implement many designs.
Just like the BJ212, even if Zhu Jiansheng led a team in school to complete the design work of a new generation of products alone, he had no chance to produce it.
But working with Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant is different.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the strength and influence of the Vehicle Engineering Department of Capital Institute of Technology can be taken to a higher level.
After the department head retires next year, he has every chance to take over.
The most important thing is that once this project is successful, he will become famous in the First Machinery Department.
Many leaders will definitely visit by then. His name as the main person in charge will inevitably be remembered by many people.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
And to implement all of this, there must be many things that need to be discussed with Jiang Hui.
After the two of them got on their bicycles, they did not pedal very fast, but followed the traffic slowly, which made it easier to chat.
"Xiaojiang, as a liaison officer, you have a lot of eyes on this now."
"As for the upgrading of BJ212, I think the design department and the technical department can do a good job in vehicle design. The help is relatively limited.”
“Do you have any specific ideas?”
Zhu Jiansheng had already seen Jiang Hui's professional abilities before.
In many fields, Jiang Hui is stronger than himself as a teacher.
So when communicating on professional and technical issues, Zhu Jiansheng now has a completely equal attitude.
Anyway, Jiang Hui is his student and son-in-law, and he has no son, so even if Jiang Hui steals his limelight, Zhu Jiansheng doesn't care.
In order for Jiang Hui to become more famous and get a faster promotion and salary increase, Zhu Jiansheng was willing to make some sacrifices.
"Dad, after it was confirmed that I would be assigned to the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, I was actually thinking about upgrading the BJ212."
"Now I have a complete design plan in my mind, whether it is appearance The redesign, the upgrade of the engine and gearbox, or the comprehensive upgrade of the chassis and interior and exterior decorations. "
"By then, the appearance of the new generation BJ212 will be able to surpass the international mainstream level, and its performance in all aspects will be better. It will not be worse than the international mainstream technology.”
“Some local parts designs can even lead the world.”
“In the next ten years, the second generation BJ212 will be able to do so. Don’t lag behind.”
If other people said such nonsense, Zhu Jiansheng would definitely not want to hear it.
With the current level of China's automobile industry, how can it be so easy to produce a vehicle comparable to the internationally advanced level in a short period of time?
Even this is simply impossible.
But when Jiang Hui said this, Zhu Jiansheng did not refute.
After all, when Jiang Hui chose to develop 4MT as his graduation project, he was slapped in the face once.
"If you really have this idea, then you should draw the outline of the appearance as soon as possible."
"Then try to arrange for personnel to make a reduced version of the model as soon as possible. Let’s discuss it with the First Machinery Department.”
“This way we can start the next phase of the design work more smoothly.”
“Otherwise, your appearance will not be finalized, both inside and outside. Decoration is also difficult to determine, and the upgrading of other parts will be affected to some extent. "
As a professional automotive talent, Zhu Jiansheng also has some knowledge about vehicle design-related matters. Understood.
