Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a drag reducing device which automatically changes the area of holes between wheel spokes according to the vehicle speed. Background technique
[0002] As we all know, the air resistance when the car is running is proportional to the square of the speed. When the car is running at high speed, the greatest resistance comes from the air resistance. Tests have shown that when a car is running at 80 km / h, 60% of the Fuel consumption is used to overcome wind resistance, and for every 10% reduction in drag coefficient, fuel consumption can be saved by 7%. From the perspective of car aerodynamics and fuel economy, the wheels should be as closed as possible to prevent the side airflow from entering the wheel cavity to generate eddy currents, thereby reducing the car's drag coefficient.
[0003] In contrast, when the car is running at a low speed, the impact of the drag coefficient on the driving resistance of the car is not very obv...
