Definitions

  • This invention relates to a coaxial engine starter for use with automotive engines.
  • Fig. 1 is a sectional view illustrating a conventional coaxial starter disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-­Open No. 63-192962, for example.
  • the reference numeral 1 designates an armature of a d.c. electric motor
  • 2 an armature core
  • 3 designates a hollow armature rotary shaft having formed inside thereof a wedge-shaped cam surface 3a for providing an over-running clutch function, and the armature core is press-fit onto the outer circumference of the armature rotary shaft 3.
  • the pinion shaft 20 is moved forward along the axis while compressing the spring 23 by the stopper 21 until the stopper 21 abut against the rear end face 17b of the clutch inner member 17 at which the forward movement is completed.
  • the excitation coil 33 When key switch is turned on, the excitation coil 33 is energized to actuate the plunger 26a, causing the movable assembly 26 to move forward and the movable contact 28 to be brought into contact with the stationary contact 13.
  • the armature coil 6 is energized through the brush 5 and the commutator 4 thereby to start the electric motor.
  • the pinion shaft 20 is pushed forward by the springs 29, 31 of the movable assembly 26, whereby the pinion 20a is brought into engagement with the ring gear formed around a fly wheel of an engine at the same time the d.c. motor is started.
  • the covnentional coaxial starter is constructed as above described, the number of teeth of the pinion is eight at the smallest, and with such the starter, the armature winding 6 has generally two turns in order to obtain requisite torque as the d.c. motor, making unable to make the outer diameter of the rotary shaft 3 large, so that the assembly of the over-running clutch within the rotary shaft 3 is difficult and disadvantageous in performance because it is necessary to use small-diameter long rollers or a plurality of small-diameter rollers axially arranged in series.
  • one object of the present invention is to provide a coaxial engine starter free from the above-­discussed problems.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a coaxial engine starter in which the requisite d.c. motor torque is ensured.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a coaxial engine starter in which the over-running clutch can be easily assembled and which has a superior performance.
  • the number of the teeth of the pinion is made equal to or less than seven, thereby making the gear ratio between the engine ring gear and the pinion greater than that of pinion having the teeth number of eight which is the smallest number in the conventional design, a sufficient torque can be obtained even with a single turn armature winding, and by making the armature winding single-turn, the outer diameter of the rotary shaft can be made large, improving the easiness of assembly of the over-running clutch within the rotary shaft.
  • Fig. 2 the same reference numerals used in Fig. 1 designate the same components.
  • 1 designates an armature of a d.c. electric motor
  • 2 an armature core
  • 3 designates a hollow armature rotary shaft having formed inside thereof a wedge-shaped cam surface 3a for providing a function of an over-running clutch 7, and the armature core 2 is press-fit onto the outer circumference of the armature rotary shaft 3.
  • the armature coil 6a is a single turn coil.
  • the brush 5 is urged forward by a spring 5a disposed at its rear side so that the tip of the brush 5 is brought into contact under pressure onto the sliding surface of the commutator 4.
  • the number of gear teeth of the pinion 20d is equal to or less than seven.
  • the rod 26b is secured to the plunger 26a by caulking its rear end on the rear surface of the plunger 26a.
  • 29 indicates a spring for urging the pinioin shaft 20, the spring 29 being disposed at the outer circumference of the rod 26b between the first holder 26d and the second holder 26c.
  • the excitation coil 33 When the key switch is turned on, the excitation coil 33 is energized to actuate the plunger 26a, causing the movable assembly 26 to move forward until the movable contact 28 engages the stationary contact 13.
  • the armature coil 6 is energized through the brush 5 and the commutator 4 thereby to start the electric motor.
  • the pinion shaft 20 is pushed forward by the springs 29, 31 of the movable assembly 26, whereby the pinion 20d is brought into engagement with the ring gear formed around a fly wheel of an engine at the same time the d.c. motor is started.
  • commutator 4 While the face-type commutator is employed as the commutator 4 in the above embodiment, a commutator of another type may equally be used.
  • the permanent magnet 7 is used for generating a motor magnetic field, this may be replaced with a magnetic pole with a coil wound on it.
  • the pinion shaft 20 and the pinion 20d are made integral, the pinion 20d may be spline-engaged with the pinion shaft 20 and mounted by a stopper.
  • the over-running clutch may be fitted over or press-fit onto the rotary shaft 3.
  • the pinion shaft including pinion gear teeth in the inside of the clutch inner member of the over­running clutch may be separate members, and any arrangement for transmiting power between the pinion and the clutch inner member of the over­running clutch can be employed.
  • the size of the teeth of the pinion or the module is not discussed, the smaller module is preferred from the view point of overall engine arrangement because the engine ring gear needs not be made large-sized, and the present invention is effective when applied to the pinion having a module of equal to or less than 2.75.
  • the greater pressure angle of the gear is preferred because the number of teeth can be made as small as possible, the preferable pressure angle being equal to or larger than 14.5°and the more preferred pressure angle being equal to or larger than 20°.
  • the number of the pinion gear teeth is equal to or less than seven and the armature winding has a single turn, so that the diameter of the rotary shaft can be made large and the assembly is easy, providing advantages that a high-­quality, high-performance coaxial starter.
