Analysis of Double Clutch: From Wet to Dry

  Introduction: With the mass production of the 7-speed DSG gearbox equipped with LuK dry dual clutch, the DSG gearbox has entered a new stage, and the dual clutch of the dual clutch transmission DSG took five years from wet to dry.

  With the mass production of the 7-speed DSG gearbox equipped with LuK dry dual clutch, the DSG gearbox has entered a new stage, and the dual clutch of the dual clutch transmission DSG took five years from wet to dry.

  The latest 7-speed DSG gearbox is instructive for the future development of automobile dual clutch system, which brings convenience, movement and comfortable driving experience. Since Volkswagen put into the market in 2003, the six-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission has opened a new era of transmission, which is inseparable from the vigorous investment of Volkswagen in new technology and the vigorous expansion of parts manufacturers in the field of new technology. Standing behind Volkswagen’s first-generation DSG is Borg Warner, who is providing wet dual clutches for Volkswagen DSG, and who will stand behind the second-generation DSG?

  In the spring of this year, Volkswagen released a 7-speed DSG gearbox. Except for adding a gear, the biggest difference with the 6-speed DSG is that it adopts a dry dual clutch. This time, which component manufacturer provided the core component-dry dual clutch for the public? That is LuK Company, headquartered in Buehl, Baden, Germany. As an expert in clutch and gearbox system in the industry, it has developed this latest dry dual clutch through close cooperation with Volkswagen. In terms of fuel economy, it is better than the gearbox equipped with wet double clutch, and compared with the traditional manual gearbox, it can save fuel consumption by about 6%.

Wet dual clutch produced by Borgwarner

  The birth of double clutch makes the phenomenon of power interruption and passengers "nodding" when shifting gears become history. As the heart of DSG gearbox, the working principle of LuK dry dual clutch is simple: LuK’s dual clutch consists of two clutches. One of the clutches is connected with the odd gear input shaft of the gearbox: 1st gear, 3rd gear, 5th gear and 7th gear; The other clutch controls the input shaft of even gears: 2nd gear, 4th gear, 6th gear and reverse gear. For example, when the vehicle is driving in 2nd gear, 3rd gear is already in gear (only the 3rd gear clutch is not engaged). Therefore, the whole shift process can be carried out quickly, smoothly and without torque interruption. The shift is completed by electro-hydraulic control mechanism, and the driver can hardly feel the instantaneous shift and the opening and closing of a single clutch.

  The 6-speed DSG’s multi-plate dual clutch runs in the cooling oil tank in a "wet" way, while the LuK’s dual clutch has a dry structure. The torque transmission of wet dual clutch is realized by wet clutch friction plate immersed in oil, while the torque transmission of dry clutch is realized by friction plate on clutch driven plate. Because of saving the high efficiency of torque transmission of related hydraulic system and dry clutch itself, dry system greatly improves fuel economy. The same 1.9 TDI(105 PS/ 77 kW) engine with 7-speed DSG gearbox can save more than 10% fuel compared with 6-speed wet dual clutch transmission.

  The design of "dry" double clutch has brought many benefits, the most important of which is to significantly improve the efficiency of the gearbox system. In addition, the new generation DSG gearbox eliminates the suction filter, oil cooler and high-pressure oil pipe in the gearbox housing. Like the ordinary manual gearbox, gearbox oil is only used for lubrication and cooling of gearbox gears and bearings. Therefore, the 7-speed DSG transmission oil only needs 1.7 liters of transmission oil, while the 6-speed DSG transmission oil needs 6.5 liters. Although "dry" dual clutch has many benefits, it is limited in torque transmission. The new generation DSG gearbox is suitable for all "small" engines with maximum torque less than 250 Nm.

  Generally speaking, the dimension of dry double clutch is slightly larger than that of wet double clutch. This is determined by the layout of the double clutch and the friction material selected. Because the external dimensions of the dry dual clutch of the 7-speed DSG gearbox are slightly larger, the rest parts should be designed to be more compact, so that it can be equipped on Polo-class small cars.

  Since 2004, LuK has started close cooperation with Volkswagen in the development of DSG damping parts. The torsional vibration absorber in this DSG technology gearbox-dual-mass flywheel is also LuK’s product. LuK’s double clutch has been shipped to Volkswagen’s transmission factory in Kassel, Germany since the beginning of 2008. LuK’s factory in Buehl has been fully prepared for mass production (about Schaeffler Group: the German-headquartered Schaeffler Group has three famous brands: INA, LuK and FAG, and is a leading manufacturer in the global automobile industry and rolling bearing industry).

  A set of numbers about DSG gearbox

  * 0.4 liter: Golf sedan with 122 horsepower TSI engine and 7-speed DSG.

  The fuel consumption of the model is 0.4 liters less than that of the model equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission.

  * 1.7 liters: 1.7 liters of transmission oil is required for the 7-speed DSG transmission.

  * 6.5 liters: 6.5 liters of transmission oil is required for the 6-speed DSG transmission.

  * 6 models: At present, Volkswagen has 6 models that can be equipped with a 7-speed DSG gearbox.

  * 70kg: The 7-speed DSG gearbox weighs 70kg.

  * 93kg: The 6-speed DSG gearbox weighs 93kg.

  * 105 HP: At present, the "minimum" engine power matching DSG gearbox is 105 HP.

  * 300 HP: At present, the "maximum" engine power matching DSG gearbox is 300 HP.

  * 140℃: The maximum working environment (transmission oil) of electromechanical control module of 6-speed DSG gearbox is 140℃.

  * 250Nm: The maximum torque of the engine matched with the 7-speed DSG gearbox is 250 nm.

  * 350Nm: The maximum torque of the engine matched with the 6-speed DSG gearbox is 350 nm.

  The main reason for the difference in the above data is the adoption of dry/wet dual clutch.

The venue is scheduled for next year! Is the concert explosion a real recovery or a "retaliatory rebound"?

  In 2023, after three years of silence, offline concerts ushered in a strong recovery. 140,000 tickets for Jay Chou’s 7 concerts were sold out in one second, and nearly 300,000 tickets for 6 concerts in Mayday were sold out in 5 seconds. As of early July, Liang Jingru, Liu Ruoying and Zheng Jun started singing in Beijing. The Damai App shows that concert tickets for artists such as Lu Han, Ren Xianqi and Xu Wei, which will be held from mid-July to mid-August, have all been sold out. It has become the norm to have a ticket.

  The number of large-scale music festivals and concerts has increased by more than 35 percent compared with the same period in 2019, according to data from the China Performance Industry Association, as large-scale performances have recovered rapidly since the first quarter of this year. To some extent, the performance economy can drive economic development along the way, including transportation, accommodation, catering, tourism and other fields. Take the Wang Yuan concert in Chongqing as an example. According to statistics, 85% of the audience came from outside Sichuan and Chongqing.

  The venue schedule for the "restart" of the 10,000-level performance in March has been scheduled for August next year

  When did the performance market become "branched" after the COVID-19 pandemic implemented Type B and B tubes? On March 26 this year, Old Wolf Beijing started singing. This is the first large-scale concert held in Beijing in the past three years, and it is also the opening debut of the Beijing Cadillac Center. Beijing Cadillac Center is an important part of Huaxi LIVE · Wukesong, and Huaxi LIVE currently covers three cities, namely Beijing, Chongqing, and Chengdu. The first two cities are "10,000 People Hall". On March 25, the Old Wolf concert landed in Beijing, and from March 25 to 26, the "Chongqing Banan Zhuguang Shanhai (Appointment of Land and Sea) Music Festival" was held in Chongqing, which led to the "restart" of 10,000-level performances in the two cities.

  "At the beginning of the year, we didn’t have a particularly strong confidence, because watching performances is not a necessity of life, it is a spiritual consumption, and how to let everyone pay attention to this field was the focus of exploration at that time. The Old Wolf concert went through months of preparation, and from worrying about attendance to empty tickets and hard to find a ticket, this performance became an industry model." Wen Wen, general manager of culture and sports of Huaxi Group, said that at the beginning of this year, due to concerns about the uncertain market situation, the agreed venue for the performance was usually booked first, and the ticket sales were good before adding a performance. After March, it became two or even more performances. "Everyone’s confidence was stimulated."

  Beijing Cadillac Center, also known as Wukesong Gymnasium, is the venue for the basketball competition of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Since 2011, Huaxi Group has built Huaxi LIVE · Wukesong around the facilities of Wukesong Gymnasium, and gradually developed into a sports service complex integrating large-scale sports events, large-scale cultural performances, sports training, national fitness and other formats.

  In 2023, the performance schedule of Wukesong Stadium reached a historical high, with the highest number of performances reaching more than 10 in a single month. In the second half of 2023, the highest number of single-month reservations reached 12. The schedule for 2024 has also been arranged until August.

  The venue dominates the "schedule" performance market, which brings double challenges

  The "full" performance posed a new challenge to the venue.

  Similar to Taipei’s Little Arena and Hong Kong’s Hung Hom Stadium, Beijing’s Huaxi LIVE has become an industry benchmark in the mainland performance market. The first challenge is how to balance the needs of all parties when influential artists want to come here to hold concerts. Wen Wen said that there are mainly two dimensions to consider. The first is to return to its own positioning. Huaxi LIVE mainly targets young consumer groups under the age of 35. Considering that they want to watch the performance, they will continue to release enthusiasm after the performance and drive other business matching formats, so they will choose artists according to the preferences of such groups. The second dimension is to consider the market appeal of artists, such as Li Zongsheng, Zhou Huajian and other leading figures in the Chinese music industry will sing in Beijing this year. They not only have strong market influence, but are also irreplaceable.

  In addition, the popularity of the song, the recent popularity of the artist, and the artist’s own tour schedule should also be taken into account. These criteria are interspersed with each other, and decisions are made through comprehensive evaluation.

  At present, 85% of domestic artists will choose to hold concerts in the stadium. And a performance requires a certain cycle from stage construction, rehearsal, to official performance and withdrawal. Therefore, the second challenge facing the venue is how to quickly complete the transition when the schedule is saturated? It is understood that at present, the Beijing Cadillac Center will match the needs of the performers to tour multiple cities according to the principle of "schedule advance, one-stop booking". As long as this schedule is determined, all the needs of the performers can be met. And, from an operational point of view, the venue has achieved uninterrupted staff and continuous rotation 365 days a year, enabling fast switching between venues.

  After the market surge, it will calm down, and there is still room for improvement as a whole

  Will the recovery of the performance economy be sustainable or "retaliatory rebound"? Wen Wen believes that, on the whole, people’s spiritual and cultural needs match the speed of economic development. China’s performance market still has a large market potential waiting to be tapped, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

  From a single year perspective, the explosive growth in 2023 is not a completely normal state, but a big surge after the market has been backlogged for a long time. This surge will gradually calm down, but calm does not mean the decline of the overall market, but a return to the normal state. "The box office of many artists this year has exceeded our expectations. It will take time to test whether it becomes normal."

  In addition, with regard to the negative phenomena such as scalpers caused by the explosion of the performance market, Wen Wen said that currently, from the government to ticketing companies to venues, they are all working together to promote this link on the right track, including the implementation of strong real-name electronic tickets, on-site verification of the integration of people and witnesses, and on-site reservation of blank areas to deal with personnel changes and other measures to further standardize the market.

  Break the "self-investment and self-construction" joint performance upstream and downstream to solve the problem of the venue

  In recent years, Wukesong Stadium has hardly undertaken any large-scale events and performances except for the protection of important sports events and the Honor of Kings Winter Champions Cup Finals in 2020. This "cold winter" is regarded by Wenwen as a process of survival of the fittest in the entire industry. Now that the performance economy has recovered, Huaxi LIVE hopes to further exert its blood-making ability and travel lightly to drive the development of the industry. For example, the small and medium-sized venues built in Chengdu that can accommodate about 3,000 people can realize standing performances, which is equivalent to a large livehouse, which is more in line with the needs of young people and more flexible for holding piano concerts, e-sports competitions, concerts and other activities.

  At the same time, Huaxi will break through the "self-investment and self-construction" model, turn the team’s operation and maintenance capabilities, management standards and other resources into "light assets", and cooperate with other existing cities (first-tier and quasi-first-tier) sports venues to operate, such as the current attempt in Xi’an. In addition, it will also contact the upstream and downstream industries to match some cities and venues for performers in a targeted manner, so as to provide better venue services quickly.

Ingenious and unremarkable graduation gifts can also become "online celebrity"

Peking University graduation ceremony ticket information picture.

Beijing Forestry University graduation gift square foot information picture

The graduation gift of Shaanxi Normal University is printed with information and pictures.

  This graduation season is very special. Due to the epidemic, it has become very valuable for graduates to participate in graduation ceremonies on the spot, and more people can only sit at home and watch on the cloud.

  Principal’s speech, teacher’s speech, degree certificate, and group photo … … The process of graduation ceremony, like the standard one, is similar. Graduation gifts, which were seldom noticed in the past, brought surprises to people this year. Tickets, rulers, square seals, graduation gifts that seem to have no "explosion" face, have become popular on the Internet.

  The paper is too short to describe one’s feelings.

  "This is my forever campus. From youth to old age, people walk steadily and behave calmly, and the passers-by around them are probably the eternal scientific giant … …”

  On July 2nd, Peking University’s graduation ceremony kicked off with recitation. Affected by the epidemic, the graduation ceremony was held in 9 venues in Beijing and Shenzhen, and the graduates who were not in school attended the ceremony through live webcast. Every grass and tree in the campus is matched with the situation of the program, which makes the participating teachers and students move.

  Even after the graduation ceremony, Tan Yue, a graduate student of Peking University, was still reluctant to throw away the tickets for the graduation ceremony. Tan Yue found that "this is an exquisite graduation ceremony ticket, which includes all the landmark locations of Peking University".

  The design of graduation tickets is original. When paving, the four kinds of plants and flowers on the tickets, peach blossom, wisteria, ginkgo and plum blossom, lead everyone to regain the four seasons scenery of Yanyuan; After folding along the dotted line, a miniature Yanyuan landscape emerges from the paper, corresponding to four plants and flowers respectively, which are the school’s landmark landscapes: Peking University West Gate, Boya Tower, Library and Centennial Lecture Hall.

  "When I open it again in the future, I will definitely think of the good times when I sat on the stone bench by the unnamed lake, accompanied by the sunset and blowing the breeze." Tan Yue said, "I am lucky to be able to attend the graduation ceremony on the spot. The sense of belonging and ritual when singing "Yanyuan Love" on the spot is very strong. "

  For students who can’t go back to school to attend the graduation ceremony, Peking University promises that all graduates in 2020 will receive this graduation ticket, and those who have not returned to school will be issued tickets through the departments.

  Scale life

  Wu Hao, a recent graduate of Beijing Forestry University, is looking forward to returning to school because of the easing of the epidemic. However, the epidemic in Beijing rebounded in June, and he was informed that he could not return to school. In 2020, graduates of Beijing Forestry University can only attend the online graduation ceremony.

  Goodbye without saying goodbye.

  At the end of June, Wu Hao, who was in Zhejiang, unexpectedly received a graduation gift package from the school. There are three gift certificates in the gift package: a meal voucher to welcome graduates back to their alma mater for a canteen; A lecture ticket, inviting graduates to come back to the familiar classroom and listen to the class again; There is also a degree awarding ceremony voucher, and this year’s graduates can participate in any graduation ceremony after this year.

  There is also a graduation gift with profound meaning in the gift package — — A wooden ruler.

  The structure of the wooden ruler is square: it is four inches long and ten minutes wide, and one millicent. Deep and quiet purple sandalwood is a ruler, and a leaf of ginkgo made of pure copper is inlaid in it. Next to ginkgo, the student number of each graduate is engraved. The back of the wooden ruler is also engraved with the school emblem and motto.

  "There is a ginkgo avenue on campus that attracts many people to stop every year. Ginkgo tree, which is accompanied by classmates day and night, is a special symbol in the eyes of Beilin students. " Wu Hao introduced, are those scenes in memory. There is even an interesting saying in Beilin University that undergraduates can only graduate if they have collected four photos of Ginkgo Avenue.

  Nowadays, Ginkgo biloba leaves are carved on a wooden ruler. Although the wooden ruler is short, it is full of energy. It is also this wooden ruler that will witness and measure the unique life of each graduate. The intention of his alma mater was interpreted by Wu Hao as "No rules, no Fiona Fang". Be a man with a ruler and a degree of restraint. "

  After graduating from undergraduate course, Wu Hao was excluded from a prestigious school to study biomedicine. "The outbreak of the epidemic has had a great impact on my choice. I am willing to do some research in the future. Let the future brushstrokes and paintings be more precise and definite. "

  In recent years, the graduation gift of Beijing Forestry University is unique. The gift of the 2019 graduates is a pair of exquisite wooden chopsticks, "Two chopsticks are one, and two trees make a forest". The two chopsticks piece together the school emblem and motto of Beilin, which also embodies the sincere blessing of the alma mater.

  Printers, letter also.

  Before leaving, Li Qingyu, a graduate of Shaanxi Normal University, received a graduation gift, which was the exclusive seal customized by the school. "On paper, print your own name, solemn and deep."

  The first time we met, it was a letter of admission with an inky brush. When we left, it was a purple sandalwood seal engraved with the seal of Normal University. In Li Qingyu’s view, "this is a kind of echo from beginning to end, and it is also a kind of inheritance and persistence."

  This seal is made of purple sandalwood, and the side of the seal is engraved with the school emblem and the words inscribed by calligrapher Wei Junxiu, which are intended to inherit the fine style of study of Shaanxi Normal University. The message of "Pass on the fire from generation to generation, educate and serve the country" is printed in the box with gold on the red background, which is full of earnest entrustment to carry forward the "Red Candle Spirit in the West".

  "Printers, letter also. Throughout the ages, a seal is like a fingerprint, and it is the keepsake that best represents a person. If you see a seal, you will see the person. " Xin Feng, the designer of this seal and director of the school office of Shaanxi Normal University, revealed that since 2018, the school has considered giving graduates a "permanent souvenir".

  Why did you choose the seal as a graduation gift? It is not surprising that the graduates of Shaanxi Normal University are so accurately targeted.

  "In ancient times, calligraphy and seals were an organic whole. The admission notice received at the beginning of school was written in calligraphy. So, we decided to send a seal to every graduate. In stone, metal, wood and other materials, after repeated selection and comparison, purple sandalwood is selected. This material is calm and weighty. " Xin Feng said, "In the future, every Shaanxi Normal University student will receive a calligraphy admission notice and a graduation seal, which will be their unique memory."

Turkey officially changed its English name and stopped being a "turkey"

On May 31st, local time, Turkish Foreign Minister cavusoglu posted on his social media platform that he submitted a letter to the UN Secretary-General that day, requesting to change the name of Turkey’s foreign language country to "Türkiye". Cavusoglu said on the social platform: "Under the leadership of President Erdogan, the process initiated by Turkey to improve the national brand value has already yielded results. I submitted a letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations today to register the foreign name of our country as’ Tü rkiye’ at the United Nations. "

According to a report by Anadolu News Agency of Turkey on June 1st, at the request of Turkey, the United Nations changed the name of Turkey’s foreign language from "Turkey" to "Türkiye". Earlier, some media believed that the demand for name change in Turkey might not be smooth sailing, because it was not in the Latin alphabet, which would make it difficult for relevant international institutions to change their registered names.
The name change in Turkey has been going on for half a year. As early as December 4 last year, Turkish President Erdogan issued a presidential decree to change his name. Erdogan believes that the new name "Türkiye" can "best represent the culture, civilization and values of the Turkish nation".
In December 2021, Turkey began to use "Türkiye" as its foreign language country name in domestic and international occasions.
In Turkish, Turkey’s name is "Türkiye". In English, the name of Turkey is "Turkey". The word "turkey" has the meaning of "turkey" in English, and is even defined as "a serious failure" or "a stupid person" in Cambridge dictionary. This is also the reason why Turkey launched the name-correcting action.
"British Weekly" believes that this is a rebranding of Turkey, and the Turkish government will give up the English name that has been used for 100 years. This move is also intended to "ease the diplomatic pattern dominated by English." In January this year, Turkey began to ask for a name change. The Turkish government began to negotiate with the United Nations, hoping to replace "Turkey" with "Türkiye" in all international formal occasions.
The Turkish government also requires the use of "Türkiye" in various activities and communications, including formal relations with other countries, international institutions and organizations.
