Chapter 240 Local Forklift Factory

After the meeting, no one stopped Luo Cheng from his idea of ​​building a heavy-duty truck. But Luo Cheng himself was unsure. After all, Luo Cheng had experience in modifying this small car. He knew the general structure of a large car, but he didn't know it as well as a small car.

At present, no heavy-duty trucks have been imitated in China, and we are not competing with Jicheng for trucks that are less than eight meters tall. Just build a nine-meter-long truck with a carriage, but Luo Cheng also thought of some questions, why did Jicheng's first trial production fail. Logically speaking, there are many automotive engineers in China, and the designed trucks can only reach a speed of 70 yards per hour, which makes Luo Cheng feel that something is wrong.

But Luo Cheng just said boldly at the meeting that he would build a larger, faster, and higher-loading truck. This bullshit has been blown away. Except for Director Zhao who has doubts and Director Zhang who also knows cars and has doubts, everyone else has a fanatical expression.

No, Luo Cheng suddenly thought about the bus at the bus station. When he first joined the factory and met the bus driver Zhao Dajingang, he found that the steering wheel of the bus was particularly difficult to turn. Although the steering wheel of the new car is difficult to turn, there is no power steering pump. But when an accident occurred later, Director Zhang took people to deal with it. The bearing was slightly bent, causing the gear spacing to shrink and become stuck.

As for the trucks designed by Jicheng, it may not be that they can't drive fast, but that they can't drive fast. This is probably related to the variable speed.

Logically speaking, Amado Diesel Engine Factory provides high-horsepower marine engines. There is no problem of insufficient power. Even if there is no pneumatic power device, it should not be able to drive only 70 yards when pulling a cargo of 78 tons.

This may be related to many aspects. Just like when Luo Cheng was still in school, he often failed to use data alone to make combination modifications. Many times it was caused by various details. For example, if you just replace the engine with a high-power one, if the exhaust pipe cannot keep up with the displacement, it will be of no use to temporarily increase the power. After a few seconds, it was completely turned off and scrapped.

Your transmission rotates too fast, the gears are too thin, and the material density is not strong enough, even if the clearance is accurate, so what. The cargo you are pulling is too heavy, and the gears will break.

So after the meeting, Luo Cheng felt that he had boasted a lot. It is easy to produce a large truck with a carriage of 9 meters and 6 meters, but the current steel bearing model is not a question of whether the engine horsepower can move it, but whether the bearing will break after overloading.

Fortunately, Gao Ru came back today and brought a bunch of data drawings of forklifts. There are both usable and unusable design drawings. There are ones weighing more than ten or twenty tons, and it doesn’t matter whether you have enough power or lift. Anyway, it is just a convenient move, just in case there are special needs in the future.

Don't disband the research institute. Luo Cheng wants to build a heavy truck. The weight of the body and the weight of the cargo must be calculated. This is much more difficult than simply calculating the balance weight of a forklift and the strength of the fork.

Because the gravity of the truck is dispersed, the dispersed pressure is different from the concentrated pressure. But even so, both bearings and truck frames have a limit. There are also the transmission forces of various parts, the density and size of various gears, and whether the wheels can be used on a small car. Will there be any problems when the load plus the body weight is as high as dozens of tons? These are all Things to consider.

This research and development requires the cooperation of automobile engineers. Only automobile engineers understand the structure of automobiles, and dynamic experts must be found for joint research and development. If not, Luo Cheng would have to use the sign-in system to obtain data for every component, but even so, it may not be omnipotent. Just like bearings, what's the use of the system giving you the big and small data? The steel model requirements in this era are not up to standard. If you use steel made of other materials, the bearing capacity will definitely not meet the requirements.

It is impossible for Luo Cheng to use the system to develop steel production processes. In order to produce a heavy-duty truck, Luo Cheng will not be able to do anything for a long time.

Gao Ru was asked to return to the scientific research institute, and Professor Cao there also stayed. Team Leader Jiang called the day before yesterday and will be here in the next two days. After deciding to work at the Ngee Ann Automobile Factory, the main issue was family placement. Over in Tianhu these days, Team Leader Jiang and others are also busy.

We are summarizing and publishing reports on the new engine and new capabilities, so we have been delayed for some time. And some of his colleagues learned that Jiang Yuanhua had achieved such success in less than two months in Ngee Ann. There are a few who want to follow.

Although it is good to be in a big city and there are senior engineers to provide guidance, the promotion of most engineers no longer depends on learning. Rather, they must have their own R&D projects and results.

Jiang Changyuan is an automotive engineer, but with the engine he has developed now, if he switches to the engine industry, even if he is not leading the research and development of this engine. But he is also the second R&D person, which is enough for him to be promoted to the engineer level.

After Luo Cheng arranged what Gao Ru needed to do, he called Tianhu to contact Team Leader Jiang. Jiang Changyuan lives in a small building in Tianhu. Because his rank is not high, there is no phone at home. I had to call and wait for someone to notify me, and then call back from there.

Just half an hour later, the phone in Luo Cheng's office rang. He thought it was Team Leader Jiang. I didn't expect that it was the second-in-command of the local department who called me.

Ask Luo Cheng if he wants to take over a heavy machinery factory. The machinery factory used to be a merger of several factories and also produced tractors. After the merger, it currently produces forklift trucks. The main reason is that there are many skilled workers. Senior workers can be transferred to Ngee Ann to assist in the production of forklifts, and they can also knock out the car bodies by hand.

The remaining workers cannot watch the forklift factory collapse and stay in the original factory. Then the Ngee Ann Automobile Manufacturing Factory sent people over to carry out industrial upgrades to improve the performance of the forklifts. Forget about the body shape, it would be okay to make it boxy. Sold domestically and used in various domestic industries.

You can't just produce high-performance forklifts in your own country, export them at high prices, and then continue to import low-performance forklifts at low prices. On the one hand, it is foreign debt, and on the other hand, the country's own development, both are important. If Luo Cheng had not developed a high-performance forklift, the country would have made do with what it could.

And while asking Luo Cheng if he wanted a forklift factory here, he also talked about the forklift export in Tianhu. Don't worry about export prices, Luo Cheng said. They are negotiated between the foreign affairs department and overseas trade personnel. Anyway, the food Luo Cheng asked for and the remaining 96% of the payment will be given to the automobile factory, or even just deliver the goods. Luo Cheng doesn’t have to worry about when to export or how to collect payment after export.

As long as the car reaches Tianhu, Luo Cheng will be credited. The money is remitted on time every month, and the car factory doesn't even need to collect postal remittances. Every month, the finance from Ngee Ann will be given directly.

Yes, why don't you want the factory you picked up for free? And this time it's not like a military factory. A director brings a group of people and equipment. But the forklift factory over there has various managers and even profits. It's all about receiving it, and it doesn't cost a dime. This is the benefit of state-owned enterprises. There is no acquisition, only acquisition and merger.

It is also very simple to upgrade the product. The forklift factory there already has technicians who can be transferred to learn hydraulic technology and then get the drawings.

The only thing Luo Cheng has to consider is whether the benefits should be synchronized, because if it becomes a branch factory, it seems that many things will be out of control. For example, profits are collected wherever the factory is built. Even if the profits are spent, they will be used for local development.

Therefore, it is good to assist the development of branch factories, but the operating space is geographically limited. But after the factory there was taken over, it became a branch factory, and all workers actually had to be dispatched by the main factory. Unless the assignment is unreasonable, you must follow the arrangement.

Of course, if you want to export profits to a branch factory, there are actually many ways, but the operation is a bit cumbersome and requires prerequisites, and automobile factories have such prerequisites.
