What's in the carriage? What's in the carriage?

1, the composition of the carriage: according to the size of the car, the carriage is divided into a big carriage and two carriages. Regardless of the size of the car, the wheelbase of the car is fixed, because "books are the same, and cars are the same track". If you are on different tracks, you will not match when driving, and you will press the ridge platform when sowing and harvesting. The carriage is mainly composed of axle, bracket, shed, left and right ear plates, carriage, axle and wheels.

2, axle: the size of the car is different, so the length of the axle is also different. Cheyuanzi is two wooden square bars with equal length and parallel longitudinal direction, which constitute the longitudinal skeleton of the carriage and play a major supporting role, so it is also called the main beam.

3. Puller: In some places, the name of the axle is divided into two parts, and the part below the carport position is called the axle; The exposed part outside the carport is used to cover the iron horse, which is called the slider. The length of the slider is about 130- 150 cm.

4. Large diagonal braces (popular reading cèng): There are large diagonal braces on the main beam, and the number of large diagonal braces varies from 5 to more than a dozen due to different bearing capacity.

5. The large brace and the main beam form a warp and weft net, which, like a ladder, constitutes the basic skeleton of the whole carriage. The main beam and diagonal braces generally use hardwood such as elm, willow and oak, and the wood used in other parts can be used at will.

6, carport: carport, also known as the trunk, covers the big bracket and main beam. The carriage is about 2.65m long and1.35-1.5m wide.

7. Left and right ear plates: On the carport, there are two rectangular wooden plates protruding to the left and right at the front and back of the two wheel positions, which are called left and right ear plates. The length of two front ear plates is about 70 cm, the length of two rear ear plates is about 90 cm, and the width of both front and rear ear plates is about 30 cm, which is convenient for riding.

8. Automobile pressure box: There are two rectangular boxes with a length of about 100 cm, a width of about 30 cm and a height of about 20 cm above the two wheels, which are used to cover the wheels and are called automobile pressure boxes.

9. Axle and wheel: There is an axle connecting two wheels in the middle under the carport. In the early days, there were iron wheels and wooden wheels, and later they developed into rubber wheels.

10, Ma Yuan: When hitching a car, the horse hitched in the middle of the shaft is called Ma Yuan. Ma Yuan is a fat, strong, strong and particularly obedient animal. Especially when going downhill, the iron horse should be able to sit on the slope. If it can't sit on the slope, there will be a car accident or a car crash. There are many proverbs about Ma Yuan: "If rabbits can drive Ma Yuan, why buy Ma Yuan?" "Driving left and right, never leaving the iron horse's eye", "turning left and right depends on the iron horse, pulling the switch and holding the tip downhill", the iron horse is the core of the carriage.
