xiahai Posted August 22, 2005 at 07:14 PM Report Posted August 22, 2005 at 07:14 PM Hi, I'm trying to translate some notes from a engineering plan. What they're basically trying to do is trasfer some stuff from one side of a river to the other side with some cable-car. I got stuck here with quite a few things I couldn't figure out completely. Any help would be great. The text below is part of notes of the drawing, so there's not much context to add. Here goes: 1) 过江车辆技术参数未知 硬质过架无法设计 I think I got the first part: - the technique of the car crossing is unknown but what does 硬质过架 mean? Is it the unloading of the stuff off the car? how would I translate 架? would 设计 here mean plan or design? 2) 三千千克无极绳 卷扬机减速器 ??? 3) 固定载重车加沙袋后下压重40千千克 Is it: the downward pressure of the fix load of the car together with the sandbags is 40 tons? 4) 车架前后加帮桩到达摩擦推动60千千克: adding a supporting peg(?) at the car's 架 front and back , reaching friction force of.. Is this right? Thanks a lot. Quote
studentyoung Posted August 23, 2005 at 07:18 AM Report Posted August 23, 2005 at 07:18 AM To be frank with you, I don’t major in engineering, but I still want to try it. 1) 过江车辆技术参数未知 硬质过架无法设计 I think I got the first part: - the technique of the car crossing is unknown but what does 硬质过架 mean? Is it the unloading of the stuff off the car? how would I translate 架? would 设计 here mean plan or design? I think the first part is the technological parameters of the vehicles that might cross the river are unknown. According to my understanding, 硬质过架 looks like a typo. I think it might be 硬质钢架 (hard / converted steel structure) or 硬质支架 (hard pedestal) . So the whole sentence might be : Because the technological parameter of the vehicles that might cross the river are unknown, the converted steel structure / hard pedestal can’t be designed. 2) 三千千克无极绳 卷扬机减速器 无极绳:endless rope 卷扬机:winch 减速器: decelerator 3 tons of endless rope the winch with decelerator 3) 固定载重车加沙袋后下压重40千千克Is it: the downward pressure of the fix load of the car together with the sandbags is 40 tons? It might be: the downward weight of the vehicle with the fix load and added sandbags is 40 tons. (I think the unity of pressure is G. (Newton).) 4) 车架前后加帮桩到达摩擦推动60千千克:adding a supporting peg(?) at the car's 架 front and back , reaching friction force of.. Is this right? 车架: (might be) the frame of the cable car (Without seeing the drawings, I don’t know the exact meaning. ) 帮桩: underbracing So the sentence might be: Adding the underbracing before and after the frame of the cable car to reach the friction to push the weight of 60 tons. I hope the words above can help you a bit! Cheers! Quote

I think it might be 硬质钢架 (hard / converted steel structure) or 硬质支架 (hard pedestal) I think you're very much right about it. It makes much more sence than I thought. With your help and after a session with an engineer friend, I think things are pretty much clear now. Thanks again. Quote
