  • the other end of the movable core 3 is intended to act on a front end of a control rod 15 by pushing through a central hole 16 of the fixed core 4 in which the front portion of the rod 15 is slidably mounted.
  • the control rod 15 carries a contact plate 21.
  • the contact plate 21 extends transversely with respect to the rod 15 to cooperate with two electrical terminals 26a, 26b of an electric power circuit and establish an electrical contact therebetween.
  • One of the terminals 26a is intended to be connected to a positive terminal of the battery, the other terminal 26b being intended to be connected by means of a cable to the brushes of the electric motor of positive polarity.
  • the two terminals 26a, 26b are fixed and carried by a cover 30 of electrically insulating material ensuring the closing of the rear of the tank 6.
  • the fixing of the cover 30 is made by folding the material of the free end of the tank 6 on the hood 30.

  • the contactor 1 also comprises a return spring 38 arranged between the cover 30 and a stop of the control rod 15.

  • This micro-solenoid 41 comprises a coil 42 fixed relative to the cover 30 and a core 43 movable in translation relative to the cap 30.
  • This core 43 is movable between an initial position in which one end of the core 43 protrudes from the terminal 26a so as to prevent electrical contact between the plate 21 and the terminal 26a; and a final position in which the core 43 allows electrical contact between the plate 21 and the terminal 26a.
  • a return spring 46 is supported on the one hand against the bottom of the cover 30 and on the other hand against an end head of the core 43 located vis-a-vis the cover 30. This spring 46 ensures the return of the core 43 in initial position following a power failure of the micro-solenoid 41.
  • the mobile core 3 is initially in a so-called rest position, in which the core 3 is remote from the fixed core 4.
  • the plate 21 is then in a deactivated position in which the plate 21 is remote from the contact terminals 26a, 26b.
  • the micro-solenoid 41 is then not powered and its core 43 is held in the initial position by the return spring 46.

  • the contact plate 21 then makes contact with the two terminals 26a, 26b, which provides power to the electric motor of the starter.
  • the problem lies in the fact that the crushing spring 32 has stored mechanical energy such that when the current flowing through the coil 42 of the micro-solenoid 41 is cut in order to pass the contact plate 21 from the pre-engagement position at the active position, the core 43 will tend to oscillate between its final position and its initial position, which will generate shocks with the plate 21 and therefore a risk of reopening of the electrical contact between the plate 21 and the terminals of the contactor 26a, 26b.
  • the present invention aims to effectively remedy this disadvantage by proposing a contactor for a heat engine starter, comprising:
  • micro-solenoid comprising a fixed coil with respect to said cover and a core movable in translation relative to said cover between an initial position and a final position
  • a contact plate situated inside said cover able to be moved between a deactivated position in which said contact plate is moved away from the contact terminals or away from at least one contact terminal and an active position in which said plate contact is in contact with the two contact terminals,
  • said contact plate is attached to said core of said micro-solenoid such that upon movement of said contact plate from the active position to the deactivated position, said contact plate drives said core of said micro-solenoid to its initial position.
  • the invention thus makes it possible to eliminate the use of the return spring of the micro-solenoid core, which reduces the oscillation effect observed during the release of the energy stored by the compression spring when the contact moves from the pre-engagement position to the active position.
  • the core when the coil of the microsolenoide is electrically powered, the core is kept in the initial position.
  • the core in its initial position prevents the contact plate from being in the active position.

  • the contactor is configured so that there is a clearance between a head of the core of said micro-solenoid and a face of said contact plate when said core is in the final position. This prevents the end of the core comes into contact with the plate when the core is in the final position.
  • the contactor is configured so that there is a clearance between an intermediate shoulder of the core of said micro-solenoid and a face of said contact plate facing said intermediate shoulder when said core is in the final position.

  • the contactor is configured to establish a magnetic flux loop passing through the magnetic medium when said micro-solenoid core is in the end position. This creates a magnetic force holding the solenoid core in the final position when the plate is in the active position.

  • the micro-solenoid 41 has been previously supplied, so that the core 43 maintained in the initial position can withstand the force applied by the plate 21 bearing against one end of the core 43 opposite the head 434.
  • the compression spring 32 is also compressed due to the pressurization of the plate 21 against the terminal 26b.
  • the intermediate piece 61 is in the final position, the coil 42 thus maintains only the core 43 in the initial position.
  • the axial compression spring 32 and the return spring 38 are decompressed, which has the effect of moving the contact plate 21 from the terminals 26a, 26b. Furthermore, the decompression of the return spring 46 makes the intermediate piece 61 from the end position to the initial position. During this movement, the intermediate piece 61 bears on the core 43 to also move it from the final position to the initial position, as well as to maintain it then in this initial position by the action of the spring 46. The displacement the core 43 is limited by the head 434 which abuts against the coil 42. The contact plate 21 then moves from the active position to the deactivated position.
  • a retaining means of the core 43 in the form of a magnet 51 or a magnetic support 52 in the shape of a U, in order to limit the inadvertent movements of the core 43 when the latter is in the final position.
  • Figures 6a and 6b show an alternative embodiment in which the contactor 1 comprises a pneumatic damping device 71 of the displacement of the core 43 of the micro-solenoid.
  • the contactor 1 comprises a return spring 46 positioned between the bottom of the cover 30 and the head 434 of radial extension forming a stop of the core 43.
  • the damping device 71 comprises a membrane 72 provided with through openings 73.
  • the membrane 72 extends between an outer periphery of the core 43 and an inner wall of the cover 30.
  • the membrane 72 is held wedged between two parts 301, 302 forming the cover 30.
  • the membrane 72 is thus kept stuck at the location of the detent zone between the two parts 301, 302.
  • the membrane 72 is glued or preferably overmolded on an outer periphery of the core 43.
  • the membrane 72 has openings 73 of variable dimensions as a function of a direction of the flow of air F1, F2 generated by a displacement of the core 43 of the micro-solenoid 41.
  • the openings 73 have a larger diameter when the flow of air F1 is directed through the openings 73 from the inside to the outside of a space E delimited by the membrane 72 and the bottom of the cover 30, that when the airflow F2 is directed through openings 73 from the outside to the inside of said space E.
  • the openings 73 of the membrane 72 are delimited by lips 76 curved out of the space when the device 71 is in the rest state.
  • the lips 76 are then at the position P0.
