- FIG. 4 represents an evolution curve of the radius of curvature as a function of the angle measured at the root of the tooth
- Figure 5 is a partial perspective view of a pinion according to the present invention illustrating the beveled shape made on the input face of the teeth.
- FIG. 1 diagrammatically shows a starter 10 for a motor vehicle engine.
- This direct current starter 10 comprises, on the one hand, a rotor 12, also called an armature, rotatable about an axis X, and on the other hand, a stator 13, also called an inductor, positioned around the rotor 12.
- This stator 13 comprises a yoke carrying a set of permanent magnets 15 intended to produce an inductive field.
- the magnets 15 are permanent cylindrical segments, being angularly distributed at regular intervals inside the cylinder head.
- the stator 13 may be a wound stator.
- the rotor 12 comprises a rotor body 17 and a winding 18 wound in notches of the rotor body 17.

- conducting wires are made of pin-shaped 21 are threaded into the notches 26 generally on two separate layers.
- the winding 18 forms, on either side of the rotor body 17, buns 19.
- the rotor 12 is provided, at the rear, with a collector 22 comprising a plurality of contact parts electrically connected to the conductive elements of the winding 18, formed in the example considered by the pins 21.
- a group of brushes 23 and 24 is provided for the electrical supply of the winding 18, at least one of the brushes 23 being connected to the ground of the starter 10 and at least one other of the brushes 24 being connected to an electrical terminal 25 of a contactor 27.
- the brushes 23 and 24 rub against the collector 22 when the rotor 12 is rotating, to allow the supply of the rotor 12 by switching the electric current in sections of the rotor 12.
- the contactor 27 comprises, in addition to the terminal 25 connected to the brush 24, a terminal 39 connected via an electrical connection element, to a power supply of the vehicle, including a battery.
- the starter 10 further comprises a launcher assembly 29 mounted to move in translation on a drive shaft 28 and can be rotated about the X axis by the rotor 12.
- a speed reducer 30 is interposed between a shaft of the rotor 12 and the drive shaft 28.
- the launcher assembly 29 comprises a drive member formed by a pinion 31 and intended to engage on a drive member. the engine, such as a starter ring of a heat engine.
- the launcher assembly 29 further comprises a free wheel 32 and a washer 33 defining between them a groove 34 for receiving the end 35 of a control lever 37.
- the free wheel 29 comprises an inner track formed on a pinion body on which is mounted the pinion.
- the pinion is slidably mounted axially on the pinion body. The pinion can therefore translate axially relative to the pinion body between an engaged position and a position compressed relative to the pinion body in the axial direction.
- the pinion body and the launcher assembly further comprises a spring mounted between the runway of the freewheel and the pinion. This spring can be compressed in the engaged position. In the compressed position, the spring is more compressed than in the engaged position. The spring thus exerts a force on the pinion relative to the pinion body to the engaged position.
- the assembly further includes a limit stop member mounted between the end of the pinion body and the pinion to form an engaged position stopper of the pinion.
- the abutment member may be for example an elastic ring mounted in an annular groove or cir-clips or a washer inserted by force or a reminder washer known as the Belleville washer.
- the control lever 37 is actuated by the switch 27 to move the launcher assembly 29 relative to the drive shaft 28, along the X axis, between a first position in which the launcher assembly 29 drives the engine through the drive gear 31, and a second position in which the drive pinion 31 is disengaged from the starting ring of the engine.
- an internal contact plate (not shown) makes it possible to establish a connection between the terminals 25 and 39 in order to energize the electric motor.
- FIG 2 shows the pinion 31 Y-axis intended to mesh with the starter ring of the engine.
- This pinion 31 comprises a body 41 of generally annular shape provided with teeth 42 on its outer periphery.
- the pinion 31 has grooves 44 at the inner periphery intended to cooperate with teeth of corresponding shape formed in the pinion body.
- Two adjacent teeth 42 define between them a gear gap 43 (see Figure 3) in which is intended to engage a tooth of the starter ring.
- Each tooth 42 each has two tooth flanks 47 opposite one another.
- a driving flank in contact with the starter ring during the driving phase of the ring gear by the pinion and a driven flank, is distinguished from the starter ring during the driving phase of the pinion by the ring gear. starting.
- Each flank 47 includes a useful flank 48 intended to come into contact with a corresponding corresponding flank of the starter ring and a tooth root 49 extending from the corresponding flank 48.
- the tooth roots 49 are delimited by a curved portion PC having a radius of curvature that varies linearly. Indeed, as can be seen in Figure 4, when moving on the tooth flank 47 between points A and B of Figure 3 at an angle, the radius of curvature of the curved portion PC tends to decrease linearly.
- the curved portion PC is an elliptical portion having a large diameter L1 and a small diameter L2.
- the large diameter L1 is inclined relative to the radius of the pinion 31 passing through the axis of symmetry Z1 of the corresponding tooth 42.
- the large diameter L1 is inclined at an angle ⁇ between 45 and 75 degrees and of the order of 60 degrees plus or minus 5 degrees.
- the large diameter L1 is between 20 and 30mm; while the small diameter L2 is between 5 and 7mm.
- the PC curved portions facing each other of two successive teeth 42 are symmetrical with respect to an axis Z2 located between the two teeth 42 (see Figure 3).
- the PC curved portions thus make it possible to optimize the shape of the teeth 42 for meshing with the starter ring, while returning to a relatively high diameter at the root of the tooth.
- the invention thus makes it possible to preserve a maximum of material at the level of the tooth root diameter 49 to improve the mechanical strength of the pinion 31.
- the hatched portion of FIG. 3 thus shows the gain in thickness obtained with respect to a conventional pinion in this zone located between the base diameter and the foot diameter defined by a profile in the form of an involute profile followed by a radius. constant connection with the tooth root diameter 49.
- the profile can be trochoid-shaped for a cut sprocket.
- L3 thickness between two successive teeth 42 measured radially relative to the axis of the pinion 31 is thus at least 2.5 mm.
- an entrance face in the crown of each tooth 42 includes bevelling 53 to facilitate the insertion of each tooth 42 into the gear gap between two corresponding teeth of the crown.
- This bevel 53 is formed on an axial end face 54 of each tooth 42 having a radial orientation relative to the axis Y of the pinion.
- Pinion 31 may be a sintered pinion 31 obtained by compacting a powder based on iron and carbon in a suitable mold. Such a manufacturing method makes it possible to easily obtain the shape in ellipse at the base of the tooth.
- pinion 31 may undergo treatment by cementation.
- This operation consists of a thermochemical treatment, that is to say it is a high temperature heat treatment which is accompanied by a modification of the chemical composition of the base alloy by enrichment and a carbon diffusion provided by a furnace atmosphere rich in carbon element. Since the pinion 31 to be treated is in contact with this carbon-rich atmosphere in the treatment furnace, the carbon will then enrich the surface and then diffuse over a certain depth, thus creating a gradient of carbon concentration decreasing from the surface and to a certain depth. to find the initial carbon content of the alloy.
- a quenching operation is carried out consisting of a phase of sudden cooling of the workpiece. This will make it possible to obtain metallurgical structure transformations and hardness modifications in order to obtain a decreasing hardness profile throughout the cemented surface layer (from the surface and to a certain depth). Finally, the parts do not remain in the rough state of quenching (otherwise they would be very fragile). The pieces undergo a relaxation income which has a slight impact on the hardness at the surface and in the vicinity, that is to say at a depth of the order of 0.2 mm for example but not on the rest of the hardness profile.
- the pinion 31 is obtained by cold stamping.
