Automobile rubber products are indispensable components in automobile parts. According to the different types of cars, each car needs to install about 100-200 kinds of rubber products, to use more than 200-500 rubber accessories. In addition to tires, different sizes of cars vary, and the consumption of rubber materials is about 15-60 kilograms. A car's rubber products (excluding tyres) account for about 6% of the total vehicle cost. There are more than 1000 kinds of non tire rubber products in automobile industry, and there are about 8000 specifications. According to statistics, the automotive industry accounts for more than 70% of the global annual consumption of raw rubber, including 60% of tires, 40% of automotive rubber accessories. High speed, safety, comfort, energy saving and environmental protection are the goals pursued by modern cars. With the development of modern automotive technology, the requirements for automotive rubber products are becoming increasingly stringent and demanding. It is not only required that rubber materials with various special properties meet the new technical requirements of automobiles, but also that rubber materials have higher physical and mechanical properties, such as aging resistance, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, new fuel and excellent performance. The dynamic fatigue performance, durable service life and so on. In fact, every high performance of modern automobiles depends on the technical progress of rubber products to provide protection. The performance and quality of automotive rubber products play a crucial role in improving the quality of automobiles. It should be noted here that although rubber products always play a role in a variety of mechanical equipment accessories, but rubber accessories are always about the technical progress and level of the host.

The measuring rod part of the oil gauge The measuring rod part of the oil gauge generally has three structures: steel wire, steel belt (Bian Chi), and many winding wires. Among them, spring steel wire is commonly used in steel wire structure, and the material is hard, which is suitable for the relatively slow bending ruler tube. The multi strand wire is easy to insert and plugged in the bending scale tube, but the price is higher. The material of flat ruler generally chooses 0.8mm~1.2mm stainless steel strip, and the price is relatively low. As the core part of the ruler, the head of a ruler is the most important part of the ruler. In the drawing, it is easy to rub with the ruler tube that matches with it. The particles produced by the friction will fall into the lubricating oil. The unclean lubricating oil will cause great wear to the bearings of the engine. In the indicator part of the scale, the head can be designed as a roller structure, which is not only effective. The scale has reduced the tube pulling force of the ruler and reduced the scraping of the ruler head and the ruler tube. For the oil gauge with steel strip structure, in order to make the gauge clearly indicate the position of the liquid level, it is easier for users to read the oil gauge. Generally, the head of the flat ruler is treated with sand blasting or press mesh, and some rhombic pits can be set on the head of the plastic. These pits are disconnected from each other, so that the oil can climb up the trough under the siphon effect, which affects the accurate reading of the scale.
