Definitions

  • the figure 1 represents the classic diagram of a motor vehicle starter.
  • the starter 10 comprises a contactor CT intended to actuate the launcher 11 via a lever 12 pivoting, and to supply the electric motor M with the aid of a movable core 13 driving the movable contact 14 cooperating with contacts fixed 15, 16 of the main circuit of the CT contactor.
  • the contacts 15, 16 and 14 are housed in an insulating cover 40.
  • the magnetic attraction forces of the CT contactor are generated by a or more annular coils 17 surrounding the movable core 13, and the fixed core 43. Due to the importance of these forces, the excitation coils 17 must be supplied with a high current from the battery B.
  • the intensity of the Inrush current is in the range of 30A to 50A at the start of operation, and that of the holding current is 8A to 10A after closing the CT contactor.
  • the ignition key 18 which drives the starter 10 is provided with a mechanical switch sufficiently sized to support such currents.
  • auxiliary electromagnetic relay in the contactor housing with lugs adapted to the connection terminals.
  • the auxiliary relay is housed at the bottom of the contactor cover, and is fixed by the terminals of the cover of the contactor.
  • the cover protects the relay against some of the physicochemical attacks, but the large size of the cover is a disadvantage to house such a relay manufactured specifically for this purpose.
  • Another solution described in the document FR 2736099 of the applicant consists in integrating an electronic circuit in the contactor between the magnetic circuit of the electromagnet, and the cover of the contactor.
  • the electronic circuit requires a printed circuit receiving the electronic components, and to be soldered to the outputs of the contactor coil. Connections through the hood are welded after crimping and allow power and control of the electronic circuit.
  • This circuit can provide various functions, including those of protection of the starter against overloads, automatic shutdown, delay.
  • This circuit also offers the advantage of being able to be controlled by very small currents, for example of the order of 5 to 20 milliamperes, which are much lower than the currents required for the control of the electromagnetic auxiliary relays as previously described.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a motor vehicle electric starter having a hybrid contactor to reduce the size and facilitate the electrical connection.
  • the starter according to the invention is characterized in that the auxiliary relay is a static relay without printed circuit, housed in a cell of the cover, and being in electrical connection with the first battery connection terminal, the second motor power supply terminal, and the third coil control terminal, and that the cover is provided with at least one metal passage opening, allowing the connection of the static relay with the coil when crimping the cover on the electromagnet tank.
  • the auxiliary relay is a static relay without printed circuit, housed in a cell of the cover, and being in electrical connection with the first battery connection terminal, the second motor power supply terminal, and the third coil control terminal, and that the cover is provided with at least one metal passage opening, allowing the connection of the static relay with the coil when crimping the cover on the electromagnet tank.
  • the solid state relay comprises at least one semiconductor power component, in particular of the MOSFET or IGBT type.
  • the first terminal in connection with the battery is connected to the anode of a protection diode connected in series with the semiconductor component.
  • the solid state relay cooperates with means for monitoring overheating, overcurrent and / or overvoltage to protect the semiconductor component and the coil.
  • the starter 10 is controlled by a hybrid CT contactor, further comprising mechanical contacts 14, 15, 16, a static relay 21 for supplying the coil or coils 17.
  • the static relay 21 comprises a semiconductor, for example example of the MOSFET or IGBT type, preferably with an electronic control and protection circuit integrated in the same housing.
  • a protective diode D protects the solid state relay 21 against battery polarity inversions B.
  • a resistor R may advantageously be arranged between the control lug of the link L2 and the ground, so as to avoid inadvertent control following magnetically or electrostatically induced voltages.
  • the electronic control unit 19 which delivers the start signal SC, is connected by a connecting wire 29 to the terminal B3.
  • an example of mounting of the static relay 21 comprises a diode D whose cathode is connected to a base 21a.
  • the anode of the diode D is connected to a connecting lug 21b.
  • a metal plate 28 can be interposed between the diode D and the static relay 21 to increase the thermal inertia and the cooling capacity of the electronic components. Lateral extensions of this plate, not shown, can reinforce the aforementioned thermal effects and can also be used to position the electronic block in the cover of the contactor CT.
  • the tabs after being cut to the desired length and arched, are used to receive the resistor R and the connecting wires 29, 30 respectively for the control signal and output to the coils 17.
  • the wire 30 corresponds to the L4 link.
  • the ground lug 20b of the link L3 also receives by welding, a spring 27 of steel having a surface treatment compatible with the weld. This gives a complete electronic subassembly, without printed circuit, having all its input and output terminals.
  • a boss 40a of the cover 40 defines an internal housing for receiving the static relay 21.
  • Each of the two connecting son 29 and 30 passes through the cover 40 by holes 40b whose diameter is slightly greater than that of the son.
  • the spring 27 connected to the ground lug is guided in a cell 40c of the cover 40, and protrudes a few millimeters from the bearing face of the cover.
  • the cell 40c is filled with a coating paste 39 which, after gelation, provides electrical isolation, sealing and mechanical protection of the electronic block.
  • the spring 27 is a compression spring, or any other elastic means.
  • the CT contactor according to the invention retains a size similar to conventional contactors.
  • the preparation of the cover 40 is simple and does not require specific processes or investments other than small tooling for soldering iron. This results in a low cost of this hybrid contactor.
