Today I want to share with you a little knowledge about cars that many drivers and friends don't know, that is, the role of the "triangular window" of the car. Some friends may say, "Isn't the triangular window just a small piece of glass?"What is there to talk about. "But in fact, this seemingly inconspicuous little glass can hide university questions inside!
1. The triangular window can increase the driver's vision. As we all know, when driving, line of sight is very important, especially in the case of lane changes, overtaking, etc., a good vision can allow us to judge the surrounding situation more accurately and avoid accidents. The car's triangular window is located right next to the A-pillar, which allows the driver to have a better view and reduce blind spots, thereby improving driving safety. In order to further reduce blind spots, the connection between the left and right side mirrors has been moved to a rear position below the triangular window.
2. The triangular window can also stabilize the frame structure. The frame of a car is made up of several parts, and the triangular window is an important connection point. It enhances the integrity and stability of the frame, which improves the safety and handling of the car. However, with the strengthening of the body structure, the safety role of the triangular window has been gradually weakened.
3. The "triangular window" also has an aesthetic function. Its presence gives the car a more stylish and dynamic look. The rear triangular window on the C-pillar also increases light transmission and gives rear passengers a better view. Car triangular windows in the 40s of the last century can also be opened to play a role in ventilation, and high-end models even have electric triangular windows.
Seeing this, some friends may say: "Since the triangular window is so important, why do many cars cancel it?".In fact, this is because with the continuous development of automotive technology, the safety and comfort of cars have been greatly improved, and the role of triangular windows has gradually been weakened. At the same time, in order to reduce costs, many car manufacturers have also chosen to eliminate the design of triangular windows. However, this does not mean that the triangular window is useless. On the contrary, for some high-end elongated models, the triangular window is still a very important design element, which can not only increase the aesthetics of the car, but also improve the quality and grade of the car.
So, if you have a triangular window in your car, you should cherish it!Finally, I would like to remind you that although the triangular window of a car is inconspicuous, it is a small piece of glass, but it is much more expensive than the glass on your door. If you need to smash the glass, don't smash it. But you also don't run to smash the front and rear windshields. Don't preach you. Which piece should I smash?You all know it!
