Description

本発明は、スタータ用マグネットスイッチに関し、特にその接点構造に関する。   The present invention relates to a starter magnet switch, and more particularly to a contact structure thereof.

たとえば下記の特許文献1などに記載される従来のスタータ用マグネットスイッチは、ソレノイドコイル(以下、励磁コイルとも呼ぶ)とこの励磁コイルと鎖交する磁路部材などの主要部材が一体に組み付けられてなるスイッチ本体部の一端面に樹脂製の接点カバーをかしめ固定し、スイッチ本体部により開口を閉塞された接点カバーの凹部(以下、接点室とも言う)の内部に可動接点部材及び一対の固定接点部材を収容して製造されるのが通常である。   For example, a conventional starter magnet switch described in Patent Document 1 below includes a solenoid coil (hereinafter also referred to as an excitation coil) and a main member such as a magnetic path member that is linked to the excitation coil. A resin contact cover is caulked and fixed to one end surface of the switch body portion, and a movable contact member and a pair of fixed contacts are placed in a recess (hereinafter also referred to as a contact chamber) of the contact cover whose opening is closed by the switch body portion. Usually, it is produced by housing a member.

可動接点部材は、スイッチ本体部の一端壁から外側へ突出して軸方向に直動するプランジャ軸の先端部に設置されてこのプランジャ軸の略径方向へ延在する平板状の導電部材である。一対の固定接点部材は、互いにプランジャ軸の径方向へ所定距離隔てつつこの凹部に収容される頭部をそれぞれ有するボルト状の導電部材であり、接点カバーの底部を軸方向に貫通している。一対の固定接点部材の頭部は、可動接点部材の可動接点面に接離可能に対面する固定接点面をそれぞれ有している。従来の固定接点部材の一例形状を図5に示し、その接点重なり形状を図6に示す。図5、図6において、100は固定接点部材、101はその頭部、102は固定接点面、103は可動接点部材、104は可動接点面である。可動接点面104は略長方形形状を有するが、固定接点面102は円形に形成されている。ただし、この円形の固定接点面102の径方向内側の半円部分のみが可動接点面に接触可能な接触可能面(ハッチング領域)となっている。

The movable contact member is a flat conductive member that is installed at the distal end portion of the plunger shaft that protrudes outward from one end wall of the switch main body portion and linearly moves in the axial direction and extends in a substantially radial direction of the plunger shaft. The pair of fixed contact members are bolt-shaped conductive members each having a head portion accommodated in the recess while being spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance in the radial direction of the plunger shaft, and penetrate the bottom portion of the contact cover in the axial direction. The heads of the pair of fixed contact members each have a fixed contact surface facing the movable contact surface of the movable contact member so as to be able to contact and separate. An example of the shape of a conventional fixed contact member is shown in FIG. 5, and the contact overlap shape is shown in FIG. 5 and 6, reference numeral 100 denotes a fixed contact member, 101 denotes a head thereof, 102 denotes a fixed contact surface, 103 denotes a movable contact member, and 104 denotes a movable contact surface. The movable contact surface 104 has a substantially rectangular shape, but the fixed contact surface 102 is formed in a circular shape. However, only the semicircular portion on the radially inner side of the circular fixed contact surface 102 is a contactable surface (hatched region) that can contact the movable contact surface.
JP 2003-184710 A

上記したように、従来のスタータ用マグネットスイッチでは、可動接点部材の接点面(可動接点面とも言う)が一対の固定接点部材の接点面(固定接点面とも言う)に当接した状態にて、固定接点面が可動接点面よりも径方向外側へはみ出した接点接触形態を採用していた。   As described above, in the conventional starter magnet switch, the contact surface of the movable contact member (also referred to as the movable contact surface) is in contact with the contact surface of the pair of fixed contact members (also referred to as the fixed contact surface). A contact contact form in which the fixed contact surface protrudes radially outward from the movable contact surface has been adopted.

この理由としては、可動接点部材を支持するプランジャ軸の先端部が可動接点部材を固定接点部材側に当接する際に、一対の固定接点部材の頭部の間に入り込むスペースの確保などのために、一対の固定接点部材の間の径方向間隔を確保する必要が有る点、並びに、可動接点部材の径方向長さをその剛性確保や小型軽量化のために短縮したい点などが挙げられる。   The reason for this is to ensure a space for the tip of the plunger shaft supporting the movable contact member to enter between the heads of the pair of fixed contact members when the movable contact member contacts the fixed contact member. There are a point that it is necessary to secure a radial interval between the pair of fixed contact members, and a point that the radial length of the movable contact member is desired to be shortened in order to ensure the rigidity and reduce the size and weight.

その結果として、固定接点部材の固定接点面の一部にしか可動接点部材の可動接点面が当接しないという使用形態が生じていた。   As a result, there has been a usage pattern in which the movable contact surface of the movable contact member contacts only a part of the fixed contact surface of the fixed contact member.

しかしながら、上記した使用形態では、マグネットスイッチの繰り返しの使用により固定接点面の摩耗が進行すると、固定接点面上の磨耗部と非磨耗部との間に段差が発生し、可動接点部材とプランジャシャフトとの間のガタにより、可動接点部材が径方向に変位すると、可動接点面が固定接点面の上記非磨耗部に乗り上がる状態が発生し、その結果、接触が不安定となって火花が発生し、接点磨耗が加速されて接点寿命が短縮される傾向があった。   However, in the above usage pattern, when the wear of the fixed contact surface proceeds due to repeated use of the magnet switch, a step is generated between the worn portion and the non-wear portion on the fixed contact surface, and the movable contact member and the plunger shaft If the movable contact member is displaced in the radial direction due to the backlash between the two and the movable contact member, the movable contact surface may climb onto the non-wearing portion of the fixed contact surface, resulting in unstable contact and sparks. However, the contact wear tends to be accelerated and the contact life is shortened.

この問題を解決するために、可動接点面を径方向に延長するか、もしくは固定接点部材を径方向内側に移設することが考えられるが、このような解決策は上記した理由などにより採用し難い欠点があった。   In order to solve this problem, the movable contact surface may be extended in the radial direction or the fixed contact member may be moved inward in the radial direction. However, such a solution is difficult to adopt due to the reasons described above. There were drawbacks.

本発明は上記問題点に鑑みなされたものであり、一対の固定接点部材の間の間隔を確保し、可動接点部材をいたずらに径方向に延長することなく、接点寿命の向上を実現可能なスタータ用マグネットスイッチを提供することをその目的としている。   The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a starter that can secure an interval between a pair of fixed contact members and can improve contact life without unnecessarily extending the movable contact member in the radial direction. The purpose of this is to provide a magnet switch.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明は、接点部材以外の主要部材が収容されるスイッチ本体部と、前記スイッチ本体部の一端壁から外側へ突出して軸方向に直動するプランジャ軸の先端部に設置されて前記プランジャ軸の略径方向へ延在する可動接点部材と、前記可動接点部材を軸方向変位自在に収容する凹部を有して前記スイッチ本体部に固定される接点カバーと、互いに前記プランジャ軸の径方向へ所定距離隔てつつ前記凹部に収容される頭部をそれぞれ有して前記接点カバーを軸方向に貫通する一対の棒状の固定接点部材とを備え、前記一対の固定接点部材の頭部は、前記可動接点部材の上端部及び下端部の後端面に形成される可動接点面に接離可能に対面する固定接点面と、前記可動接点面に接触不能な非接触表面とをそれぞれ有するスタータ用マグネットスイッチにおいて、
前記固定接点面は、前記固定接点部材の頭部の一部を前記非接触表面より軸方向へ突設してなる凸部の前端面に、前記可動接点面に全面が当接可能に形成されていると共に、前記非接触表面には、少なくとも前記非接触表面から軸方向へ凹設してなる凹部が前記凸部に隣接して形成されている、ことを特徴としている。
In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a switch body portion in which a main member other than a contact member is accommodated, and a distal end portion of a plunger shaft that protrudes outward from one end wall of the switch body portion and linearly moves in an axial direction. A movable contact member installed on the plunger shaft and extending in a substantially radial direction of the plunger shaft, a contact cover having a recess for accommodating the movable contact member so as to be axially displaceable and fixed to the switch body, and A pair of rod-shaped fixed contact members each having a head accommodated in the recess while being spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance in the radial direction of the plunger shaft and penetrating the contact cover in the axial direction, and the pair of fixed contact members The head portion of the movable contact member has a fixed contact surface facing the movable contact surface formed on the rear end surfaces of the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the movable contact member so as to be able to contact and separate, and a non-contact surface that can not contact the movable contact surface. Have each In the magnet switch for a starter,
The fixed contact surfaces, prior Symbol the front end surface of the convex portion to part of the head formed by projecting in the axial direction from the non-contact surface of the fixed contact member, the entire surface is formed to be contact with the movable contact surface In addition, the non-contact surface is characterized in that a recess formed at least in the axial direction from the non-contact surface is formed adjacent to the protrusion.

言い換えれば、この発明では、固定接点部材の頭部のうち可動接点部材に当接することがない部分を、可動接点部材に当接する部分(凸部と称する)よりも軸方向へあらかじめ窪ませておく構造を採用する。このようにすれば、一対の固定接点部材の間の間隔を必要なレベルだけ確保し、かつ、可動接点部材の径方向距離の増大を回避しつつ、固定接点面をほぼ全面的に可動接点へ当接させることができるので、固定接点面が部分的に摩耗して局部的に窪み、これにより、接点接触が不安定となったり、接点寿命が予定より短縮したりするのを防止することができる。   In other words, in this invention, the portion of the head of the fixed contact member that does not contact the movable contact member is recessed in advance in the axial direction from the portion that contacts the movable contact member (referred to as a convex portion). Adopt structure. In this way, the fixed contact surface is almost entirely moved to the movable contact while ensuring the necessary distance between the pair of fixed contact members and avoiding an increase in the radial distance of the movable contact member. Because it can be contacted, the fixed contact surface is partially abraded and locally recessed, thereby preventing contact contact from becoming unstable and contact life from being shortened than expected. it can.

また、本発明によれば、固定接点部材の頭部は、凸部に隣接して固定接点面をもたない表面(非接触表面とも言う)を広く有することができる。この非接触表面は、固定接点部材の外端部すなわち接点カバーの外側の端部に対して凸部の固定接点面よりも相対的に近接位置に存在する。したがって、外部空気が低温となり、凹部すなわち接点室内の空気に含まれる水分が過冷却されて凝結乃至氷結する際、この凝結乃至氷結は固定接点面よりも固定接点部材の頭部のこの非接触表面において先に始まり、その結果として固定接点面における水分の凝結あるいは氷結の量を減らすことができ、低温環境での可動接点面と固定接点面との間の電気導通性を向上することができる。そして、凸部に隣接する固定接点面をもたない表面(非接触表面)に、少なくとも非接触表面から軸方向へ凹設してなる凹部を持たせることにより、固定接点面への凝結乃至氷結水分の付着を良好に低減することができる。 Further, according to the present invention, the head portion of the fixed contact member can have a wide surface (also referred to as a non-contact surface) adjacent to the convex portion and having no fixed contact surface. The non-contact surface is present at a position relatively closer to the outer end portion of the fixed contact member, that is, the outer end portion of the contact cover than the fixed contact surface of the convex portion. Therefore, when the outside air becomes low temperature and the moisture contained in the air in the recess, that is, the air in the contact chamber is supercooled and freezes or freezes, this freeze or freeze is caused by this non-contact surface of the head of the fixed contact member rather than the fixed contact surface. As a result, it is possible to reduce the amount of moisture condensation or icing on the fixed contact surface, and to improve the electrical conductivity between the movable contact surface and the fixed contact surface in a low temperature environment. Then, a surface that does not have a fixed contact surface adjacent to the convex portion (non-contact surface) is provided with a concave portion that is recessed at least from the non-contact surface in the axial direction, thereby condensing or freezing the fixed contact surface. It is possible to favorably reduce moisture adhesion.

好適な態様において、前記一対の固定接点部材の頭部は、前記可動接点部材よりも前記固定接点部材側に突出する前記プランジャ軸の先端部が前記一対の固定接点部材の頭部の間に前記一対の固定接点部材の頭部に接触することなく突入可能な距離だけ離れて配置されている。   In a preferred aspect, the heads of the pair of fixed contact members are located between the heads of the pair of fixed contact members so that the distal end portion of the plunger shaft that protrudes toward the fixed contact member relative to the movable contact member is between the heads of the pair of fixed contact members. The pair of fixed contact members are arranged apart from each other by a distance that allows entry without contacting the heads.

このようにすれば、可動接点部材をプランジャ軸に係止する機構などを、可動接点部材の可動接点面よりも固定接点部材側に突出したプランジャ軸の先端部に設けた場合でも、この可動接点部材係止機構を両接点面が当接した状態にて一対の固定接点部材の間の隙間に収容することができるため、可動接点部材係止を複雑化することなく可動接点面と固定接点面とを良好に当接させた状態にて、上記した固定接点面の偏摩耗を防止することができる。   In this way, even when a mechanism for locking the movable contact member to the plunger shaft is provided at the distal end portion of the plunger shaft protruding from the movable contact surface of the movable contact member to the fixed contact member side, Since the member locking mechanism can be accommodated in the gap between the pair of fixed contact members in a state in which both contact surfaces are in contact, the movable contact surface and the fixed contact surface without complicating the movable contact member locking. Can be prevented from being abraded on the fixed contact surface.

好適な態様において、前記一対の固定接点部材の頭部は、前記プランジャ軸の軸心延長線を挟んで配置され、前記固定接点面の中心は、前記固定接点部材の頭部頂面の中心よりも前記プランジャ軸の軸心延長線側に偏って配置されている。これにより、固定接点面及び可動接点面をプランジャ軸の軸心延長線に近接配置できるため、可動接点部材を小型化でき、可動接点部材が固定接点部材に当接する際に可動接点部材が軸方向反固定接点部材側に曲がるのも低減することができる。また、可動接点部材の小型軽量化により、マグネットスイッチの吸引力が小さくてすむため、スイッチ本体部も小型軽量化できる。また可動接点部材の小型軽量化により可動接点を保持するプランジャの耐震性も向上する。更に、可動接点の長手方向長さが短くなることで、可動接点部材とプランジャシャフトとの間のガタによりプランジャ軸の軸心延長線と直角方向に対して、可動接点の傾きが発生した場合でも一対の固定接点面の各々に対して与えられる接点圧荷重の偏りを低減することができ、不安定な接点接触状態を低減できるため、固定接点面の偏磨耗を抑制できる。   In a preferred aspect, the heads of the pair of fixed contact members are disposed across an extension line of the axis of the plunger shaft, and the center of the fixed contact surface is more than the center of the top surface of the head of the fixed contact member. Is also arranged so as to be biased toward the axial extension line side of the plunger shaft. As a result, the fixed contact surface and the movable contact surface can be disposed close to the axial center extension line of the plunger shaft, so that the movable contact member can be reduced in size, and when the movable contact member abuts the fixed contact member, the movable contact member is axially moved. Bending toward the anti-fixed contact member can also be reduced. In addition, since the movable contact member can be reduced in size and weight, the magnet switch can be reduced in attracting force, so that the switch body can be reduced in size and weight. Further, the seismic resistance of the plunger that holds the movable contact is improved by reducing the size and weight of the movable contact member. Furthermore, even when the movable contact is inclined with respect to the direction perpendicular to the axial extension line of the plunger shaft due to the backlash between the movable contact member and the plunger shaft due to the length of the movable contact being reduced in the longitudinal direction, Since the bias of the contact pressure load applied to each of the pair of fixed contact surfaces can be reduced and the unstable contact state can be reduced, uneven wear of the fixed contact surfaces can be suppressed.

好適な態様において、前記固定接点面は、前記固定接点部材の頭部以外の部分の径方向中心線である固定接点軸心よりも前記プランジャ軸の軸心延長線と直角の方向において前記プランジャ軸側に配置されている。これにより、一対の固定接点部材の間の径方向距離を必要十分に確保しつつ一対の固定接点面を近接配置することができるため、上述の諸効果を一層向上することができる。   In a preferred aspect, the fixed contact surface has the plunger shaft in a direction perpendicular to the axial extension line of the plunger shaft with respect to the fixed contact shaft center which is a radial center line of a portion other than the head portion of the fixed contact member. Arranged on the side. As a result, the pair of fixed contact surfaces can be disposed close to each other while ensuring a sufficient radial distance between the pair of fixed contact members, so that the above-described various effects can be further improved.

好適な態様において、前記プランジャ軸の軸心から前記可動接点面外径側までの最大距離は、前記プランジャ軸の軸心延長線から固定接点面外径側までの最大距離に略等しいか、少しだけ大きく設定される。これにより、可動接点面の無駄な径方向への延長を防止することができるので、上述した諸効果を一層向上することができる。   In a preferred aspect, the maximum distance from the axis of the plunger shaft to the movable contact surface outer diameter side is substantially equal to or slightly larger than the maximum distance from the plunger shaft axis extension line to the fixed contact surface outer diameter side. Only set larger. Thereby, since the extension of the movable contact surface in the useless radial direction can be prevented, the various effects described above can be further improved.

好適な態様において、前記固定接点面及び前記可動接点面は、前記一対の固定接点部材を結ぶ方向と略平行な2辺と、前記2辺に対して略直角な2辺とを有する略方形形状を有する。すなわち、この態様にすれば、プランジャ軸心の放射方向と略平行な2辺をもつ略方形の可動接点面をもつ可動接点部材を装備するスタータにおいて、略同一形状の固定接点面を採用するため、当接面積を減らすことなく、可動接点面外径側までの最大距離を最小とすることができ、上述した諸効果を一層向上することができる。また、可動接点の長手方向長さが短くなることで、可動接点部材とプランジャシャフトとの間のガタによりプランジャ軸の軸心延長線と直角方向に対して、可動接点の傾きが発生した場合でも一対の固定接点面の各々に対して与えられる接点圧荷重の偏りを低減することができ、不安定な接点接触状態を低減できるため、固定接点面の偏磨耗を抑制できる。   In a preferred aspect, the fixed contact surface and the movable contact surface have a substantially rectangular shape having two sides substantially parallel to a direction connecting the pair of fixed contact members and two sides substantially perpendicular to the two sides. Have That is, according to this aspect, in the starter equipped with a movable contact member having a substantially rectangular movable contact surface having two sides substantially parallel to the radial direction of the plunger shaft center, a fixed contact surface having substantially the same shape is employed. The maximum distance to the outer side of the movable contact surface can be minimized without reducing the contact area, and the above-described effects can be further improved. Moreover, even when the movable contact is inclined with respect to the direction perpendicular to the axial extension line of the plunger shaft due to the backlash between the movable contact member and the plunger shaft due to the shortened length of the movable contact in the longitudinal direction, Since the bias of the contact pressure load applied to each of the pair of fixed contact surfaces can be reduced and the unstable contact state can be reduced, uneven wear of the fixed contact surfaces can be suppressed.

好適な態様において、前記凸部の高さは、接点スプリングたわみ可能量よりも、少なくとも最大想定摩耗量だけ大きく設定されている。すなわち、可動接点面は、接点面の予め想定する摩耗範囲において固定接点面を当接可能なようにたとえば接点スプリングによりプランジャ軸の最突出位置にて弾性的に予め所定後退量だけ後退可能に構成されている。したがって、この所定後退量は、可動接点が凸部に当接した状態でのワッシャの前端面とブッシュの後端面との間の軸方向距離(接点スプリングたわみ可能量)からの許容前進量に等しい。この態様では、凸部の高さは、この許容前進量よりも少なくとも最大想定摩耗量だけ高く突出しているため、可動接点面及び固定接点面の摩耗が上記予め想定する摩耗範囲の間では、常に可動接点面が凸部の固定接点面周囲の固定接点部材の表面部に当接することはなく、固定接点部材の表面において上記した偏摩耗が生じるのを防止することができる。 In a preferred aspect, the height of the convex portion is set to be larger by at least the maximum assumed wear amount than the contact spring deflection amount . That is, the movable contact surface is configured to be elastically retractable by a predetermined retraction amount in advance at the most projecting position of the plunger shaft by, for example, a contact spring so that the fixed contact surface can be contacted in a predetermined wear range of the contact surface. Has been. Therefore, the predetermined retraction amount is equal to the allowable advance amount from the axial distance (contact spring deflection possible amount) between the front end surface of the washer and the rear end surface of the bush when the movable contact is in contact with the convex portion. . In this aspect, since the height of the protrusion protrudes at least the maximum assumed wear amount from the allowable advance amount, the wear of the movable contact surface and the fixed contact surface is always within the wear range assumed in advance. The movable contact surface does not come into contact with the surface portion of the fixed contact member around the fixed contact surface of the convex portion, and the above-mentioned uneven wear can be prevented from occurring on the surface of the fixed contact member.

好適な態様において、前記固定接点部材の頭部のうち前記凸部が形成されていない部分は、凹凸形状を有する。このようにすれば、上記外気低温時の接点室内の空気の凝結乃至凍結に際して、接点室内の空気中の水分は固定接点面外のこの広い表面積をもつ凹凸形状の表面に良好に接触するため、固定接点面への凝結乃至氷結水分の付着を一層良好に低減することができる。特に凹部は、固定接点部材の外端部すなわち接点カバーの外側の端部に対して、他の非接触部よりもさらに相対的に近接位置に存在するため、固定接点面への凝結乃至氷結水分の付着をより一層良好に低減することができる。   In a preferred aspect, a portion of the head portion of the fixed contact member where the convex portion is not formed has an uneven shape. In this way, when the air in the contact chamber condenses or freezes at the low temperature of the outside air, the moisture in the air in the contact chamber makes good contact with the uneven surface having a large surface area outside the fixed contact surface. It is possible to more favorably reduce condensation or freezing moisture adhering to the fixed contact surface. In particular, since the concave portion is located at a position relatively closer to the outer end portion of the fixed contact member, that is, the outer end portion of the contact cover, than the other non-contact portion, condensation or icing moisture on the fixed contact surface. Can be more effectively reduced.

好適な態様において、前記凸部以外の前記固定接点部材の部分は、前記凸部と異なり、かつ、前記凸部よりも小さい熱伝導率を有する。たとえばこのように熱伝導率の変更は材料の変更により実現することができる。このようにすれば、接点接触部の電圧降下を大きくすること無く、外気低温時に、エンジン停止後、固定接点部材に締結されたケーブルが急冷されることによる、固定接点面の急激な温度低下を緩和することができるので、接点室内の水分を固定接点部材の接点室露出表面以外の部分、すなわちプランジャ軸やステーショナリコア等に、接点室内の水分の凝結乃至氷結を進行させることができる。すなわち固定接点部材の接点室露出表面へ集中的に凝結乃至氷結することを緩和でき、低温環境での接点閉時の電気導通性を向上することができる。   In a preferred aspect, the portion of the fixed contact member other than the convex portion is different from the convex portion and has a thermal conductivity smaller than that of the convex portion. For example, the change of the thermal conductivity can be realized by changing the material. In this way, the temperature of the fixed contact surface can be rapidly reduced by rapidly cooling the cable fastened to the fixed contact member after the engine is stopped at a low outside temperature without increasing the voltage drop at the contact point. Since the moisture in the contact chamber can be relaxed, the moisture in the contact chamber can be condensed or frozen in the portion other than the exposed surface of the contact chamber of the fixed contact member, that is, the plunger shaft and the stationary core. That is, it is possible to alleviate concentrated condensation or icing on the contact chamber exposed surface of the fixed contact member, and it is possible to improve electrical conductivity when the contact is closed in a low temperature environment.

スイッチ本体部1を説明する。スイッチ本体部1は、励磁コイル8を有している。励磁コイル8は、ボビン9に二層巻きされた吸引コイル8Aと保持コイル8Bとからなる。励磁コイル8と鎖交して励磁コイル8への通電によって発生する磁束を通すための磁気回路が形成されている。
(Description of switch body 1)
The switch body 1 will be described. The switch body 1 has an exciting coil 8. The exciting coil 8 includes an attracting coil 8A and a holding coil 8B wound around the bobbin 9 in two layers. A magnetic circuit is formed for passing the magnetic flux generated by energizing the exciting coil 8 in linkage with the exciting coil 8.

磁気回路は、励磁コイル8の外周を覆う有底円筒形のヨーク11、スイッチ本体部1の後端部にてヨーク11の開口を閉鎖する向きに配置されるステーショナリコア12、いわゆる可動鉄片部材であるプランジャ13により構成されている。プランジャ13は、ボビン9の内周に円筒スリーブを介して軸方向摺動自在に挿入されている。14は、ステーショナリコア12とプランジャ13との間に配置されてプランジャ13を前方に付勢するリターンスプリングである。   The magnetic circuit is a bottomed cylindrical yoke 11 that covers the outer periphery of the exciting coil 8, a stationary core 12 that is disposed in a direction that closes the opening of the yoke 11 at the rear end of the switch body 1, a so-called movable iron piece member. It is constituted by a certain plunger 13. The plunger 13 is inserted into the inner periphery of the bobbin 9 via a cylindrical sleeve so as to be slidable in the axial direction. Reference numeral 14 denotes a return spring that is disposed between the stationary core 12 and the plunger 13 and biases the plunger 13 forward.

プランジャ13は、前方に開口する凹部を有し、この凹部にはレバー駆動用ロッド15と、このレバー駆動用ロッド15を後方へ付勢するレバースプリング16とが収容されている。レバースプリング16の基端は、プランジャ13の前端に上記凹部を囲んで係止されるカラー17に係止され、レバースプリング16の付勢端はレバー駆動用ロッド15の後端部を後方へ付勢している。   The plunger 13 has a recess opening forward, and a lever driving rod 15 and a lever spring 16 for urging the lever driving rod 15 rearward are accommodated in the recess. The base end of the lever spring 16 is locked to a collar 17 that is locked to the front end of the plunger 13 so as to surround the recess, and the biasing end of the lever spring 16 attaches the rear end of the lever driving rod 15 to the rear. It is fast.

プランジャ軸2は、プランジャ13からプランジャ軸心に沿ってステーショナリコア12を貫通して後方へ突設され、接点室4に突入している。プランジャ軸2の先端部にはブッシュ18が軸方向移動可能に嵌着され、ブッシュ18に可動接点部材3が嵌合されて径方向へ延在している。可動接点部材3は、接点スプリング19により後方へ付勢されている。プランジャ軸2の先端には可動接点部材3の後退(プランジャ軸2の先端側への移動)を規制するストッパ部材としてのワッシャ20がサークリップによりプランジャ軸2の先端に固定されている。   The plunger shaft 2 projects rearward from the plunger 13 along the plunger axis through the stationary core 12 and enters the contact chamber 4. A bush 18 is fitted to the tip of the plunger shaft 2 so as to be movable in the axial direction, and the movable contact member 3 is fitted to the bush 18 and extends in the radial direction. The movable contact member 3 is urged rearward by a contact spring 19. A washer 20 as a stopper member for restricting the backward movement of the movable contact member 3 (movement toward the distal end side of the plunger shaft 2) is fixed to the distal end of the plunger shaft 2 by a circlip.

(動作説明)
上記説明したスタータ用マグネットスイッチの作動を説明する。図示しないIGキーの投入により励磁コイル8に通電されると、図1に示す初期位置からプランジャ13がリターンスプリング14を押し縮めながら吸引されて後退し、プランジャ軸2及び可動接点部材3も後退し、可動接点部材3は一対の固定接点部材6、7に当接する。可動接点部材3が固定接点部材6、7に当接した後、プランジャ13は接点スプリング19を押し縮めながら更に後退し、ステーショナリコア12の前端面に当接してプランジャ13の後退は停止する。接点スプリング19は可動接点部材3に固定接点部材6、7へ向けての押接圧力を付与する。これにより、マグネットスイッチは閉成されてバッテリからスタータモータに給電される。
(Description of operation)
The operation of the starter magnet switch described above will be described. When the exciting coil 8 is energized by inserting an IG key (not shown), the plunger 13 is retracted from the initial position shown in FIG. 1 while compressing the return spring 14, and the plunger shaft 2 and the movable contact member 3 are also retracted. The movable contact member 3 contacts the pair of fixed contact members 6 and 7. After the movable contact member 3 comes into contact with the fixed contact members 6 and 7, the plunger 13 further moves backward while pressing and contracting the contact spring 19, and comes into contact with the front end surface of the stationary core 12 to stop the backward movement of the plunger 13. The contact spring 19 applies a pressing force toward the fixed contact members 6 and 7 to the movable contact member 3. As a result, the magnet switch is closed and power is supplied from the battery to the starter motor.

エンジン始動後、励磁コイル8への通電がOFF されて磁力が消滅すると、リターンスプリング14はプランジャ13を元の位置に押し戻す。この時、可動接点部材3は固定接点部材6、7から離れてマグネットスイッチが遮断される。   When the energization of the exciting coil 8 is turned off after the engine starts and the magnetic force disappears, the return spring 14 pushes the plunger 13 back to the original position. At this time, the movable contact member 3 is separated from the fixed contact members 6 and 7 and the magnet switch is cut off.

(可動接点部材3の説明)
この実施例の可動接点部材3を図2を参照して説明する。
(Description of movable contact member 3)
The movable contact member 3 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

可動接点部材3は、プランジャ軸2が貫通する丸孔を中央部に有する略長方形の導電平板板部材からなり、その長辺は図1に示す上下方向に配置されている。この可動接点部材3の上端部及び下端部の後端面が可動接点面30を構成している。したがって、両可動接点面30は、それぞれ高さ略H、幅略Wの方形となっている。   The movable contact member 3 is composed of a substantially rectangular conductive flat plate member having a round hole through which the plunger shaft 2 passes in the center, and the long side thereof is arranged in the vertical direction shown in FIG. The rear end surfaces of the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the movable contact member 3 constitute a movable contact surface 30. Therefore, both movable contact surfaces 30 are squares having a height of approximately H and a width of approximately W, respectively.

(固定接点部材の説明)
この実施例のスタータ用マグネットスイッチの重要な構成要素をなす固定接点部材6、7について図1、図3を参照して説明する。
(Description of fixed contact member)
The fixed contact members 6 and 7 constituting important components of the starter magnet switch of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

固定接点部材6、7は、図1に示すように、樹脂製の接点カバー5の底部に貫設された一対の固定接点孔に個別に嵌挿されており、ナット60、70により接点カバー5の底部に締結されている。ボルト形状の固定接点部材6、7の頭部61、71は、上下方向にプランジャ軸心を挟んでプランジャ軸心からそれぞれ等しい距離だけ離れた位置にて接点室4に収容されて接点カバー5の底部に露出している。   As shown in FIG. 1, the fixed contact members 6 and 7 are individually fitted and inserted into a pair of fixed contact holes penetrating through the bottom of the resin contact cover 5, and the nuts 60 and 70 are used to contact the contact cover 5. It is fastened to the bottom. The head portions 61 and 71 of the bolt-shaped fixed contact members 6 and 7 are accommodated in the contact chamber 4 at positions spaced apart from the plunger axis by an equal distance with the plunger axis in the vertical direction. It is exposed at the bottom.

固定接点部材6、7の頭部61、71には、実質的に固定接点をなす凸部62、72が頭部61、71の先端面に突設されている。凸部62は頭部61のうちプランジャ軸心側に偏って配置され、凸部72は頭部71のうちプランジャ軸心側に偏って配置されている。固定接点部材7の頭部71の形状を図3に拡大図示する。凸部72は固定接点部材7の軸心よりもプランジャ軸心側(図1における上側)に偏設されており、同様に、凸部62も固定接点部材6の軸心よりもプランジャ軸心側(図1における下側)に偏設されている。   On the heads 61 and 71 of the fixed contact members 6 and 7, convex portions 62 and 72 that substantially form fixed contacts project from the front end surfaces of the heads 61 and 71. The convex part 62 is arranged to be biased toward the plunger axis side of the head 61, and the convex part 72 is arranged to be biased toward the plunger axis side of the head 71. The shape of the head 71 of the fixed contact member 7 is shown enlarged in FIG. The protrusion 72 is offset from the axis of the fixed contact member 7 on the plunger axis side (upper side in FIG. 1). Similarly, the protrusion 62 is also on the plunger axis side of the axis of the fixed contact member 6. (Lower side in FIG. 1)

頭部71のプランジャ軸心と直角方向の面内における形状を図3(a)に示し、固定接点部材7の側面形状を図3(b)に示す。頭部71にはプランジャ軸心側に位置して凸部72が突設され、プランジャ軸心から遠ざかる側に位置して凹部73が凹設されている。頭部61の形状も凸部62と凹部63との配置が逆となるだけで本質的に同様である。凸部62、72は、図3に示すように、それぞれ高さ略h、幅略wの方形となっており、hはHより少しだけ小さく、wはWより少しだけ小さい寸法となっている。これにより、凸部62、72の前端面である固定接点面(図3に固定接点面74を示す)は、可動接点部材3の可動接点面30に全面が当接することができる。凸部62、72の初期高さは、図1に示すように、可動接点3が凸部62、72に当接した状態でのワッシャ20の前端面とブッシュ18の後端面との間の軸方向距離(接点スプリングたわみ可能量)よりも少なくとも所定量だけ大きく設定されている。これにより、所定の最大想定摩耗量(すなわち、凸部62、72の初期高さから使用終了時点の凸部62、72の高さを差し引いた量)の範囲内において、常に可動接点部材3の可動接点面30が固定接点としての凸部62、72の固定接点面のみに当接し、固定接点部材6、7の頭部61、71の凸部62、72周囲の非摩耗部(図3参照)に当接することがない。   FIG. 3A shows the shape of the head 71 in the plane perpendicular to the plunger axis, and FIG. 3B shows the side shape of the fixed contact member 7. A convex portion 72 is provided on the head 71 so as to protrude from the plunger axis, and a concave 73 is provided on the side away from the plunger axis. The shape of the head 61 is essentially the same except that the arrangement of the convex portion 62 and the concave portion 63 is reversed. As shown in FIG. 3, the convex portions 62 and 72 are squares each having a height of approximately h and a width of approximately w, where h is slightly smaller than H and w is slightly smaller than W. . As a result, the entire fixed contact surface (the fixed contact surface 74 is shown in FIG. 3) that is the front end surface of the convex portions 62 and 72 can abut on the movable contact surface 30 of the movable contact member 3. As shown in FIG. 1, the initial height of the convex portions 62 and 72 is an axis between the front end surface of the washer 20 and the rear end surface of the bush 18 when the movable contact 3 is in contact with the convex portions 62 and 72. It is set to be at least a predetermined amount larger than the directional distance (contact spring deflection amount). As a result, the movable contact member 3 always has a predetermined maximum wear amount (that is, an amount obtained by subtracting the height of the convex portions 62 and 72 at the end of use from the initial height of the convex portions 62 and 72). The movable contact surface 30 abuts only on the fixed contact surfaces of the convex portions 62 and 72 as fixed contacts, and the non-wearing portions around the convex portions 62 and 72 of the head portions 61 and 71 of the fixed contact members 6 and 7 (see FIG. 3). ).

(実施例効果)
この実施例のスタータ用マグネットスイッチの効果については既述した通りである。重要な点は、この実施例では固定接点部材6、7の凸部62、72をプランジャ軸心側に偏設したので、可動接点部材3の上下方向寸法を短縮でき、かつ、一対の固定接点部材6、7の軸心間距離を所定寸法以上確保しつつ、固定接点部材6、7の固定接点面と可動接点部材3の可動接点面とをほぼ全面的に当接させることができる(図4参照)。これにより、可動接点部材3よりも後方すなわちプランジャ軸2の先端に設けた上記ワッシャ20等が固定接点部材6、7に当接するのを防止することができる。
(Example effect)
The effect of the starter magnet switch of this embodiment is as described above. The important point is that in this embodiment, the convex portions 62 and 72 of the fixed contact members 6 and 7 are offset from the plunger axis, so that the vertical dimension of the movable contact member 3 can be shortened, and a pair of fixed contacts The fixed contact surfaces of the fixed contact members 6 and 7 and the movable contact surface of the movable contact member 3 can be brought into almost full contact while securing the distance between the axial centers of the members 6 and 7 to a predetermined dimension or more (see FIG. 4). Thereby, it is possible to prevent the washer 20 and the like provided behind the movable contact member 3, that is, at the tip of the plunger shaft 2 from coming into contact with the fixed contact members 6 and 7.

また、この実施例では、固定接点部材6、7の凸部62、72の固定接点面及び可動接点部材3の可動接点面を両方とも長方形に形成したので、必要最小限の接点当接面積を得たうえで、可動接点の長手方向長さを効率的に短縮できる。また可動接点の長手方向長さが短くなることで、可動接点部材とプランジャシャフトとの間のガタによりプランジャ軸の軸心延長線の直角方向に対して、可動接点の傾きが発生した場合でも一対の固定接点面の各々に対して与えられる接点圧荷重の偏りを低減することができ、不安定な接点接触状態を低減できるため、固定接点面の偏磨耗を抑制できる。 更に、この実施例では、固定接点部材6、7の頭部61、71に凸部62、72に隣接して凹部63、73を設けているため、固定接点面への凝結乃至氷結水分の付着を良好に低減することができる。なお、凹部63、73は表面積が更に大きくなる複雑な凹凸形状であってもよい。   In this embodiment, since the fixed contact surfaces of the convex portions 62 and 72 of the fixed contact members 6 and 7 and the movable contact surface of the movable contact member 3 are both formed in a rectangular shape, the minimum contact contact area is required. In addition, the length of the movable contact in the longitudinal direction can be efficiently shortened. In addition, since the length of the movable contact in the longitudinal direction is shortened, even when the movable contact is tilted with respect to the direction perpendicular to the axial extension line of the plunger shaft due to the backlash between the movable contact member and the plunger shaft, Since the unevenness of the contact pressure load applied to each of the fixed contact surfaces can be reduced and the unstable contact state can be reduced, uneven wear of the fixed contact surfaces can be suppressed. Further, in this embodiment, since the concave portions 63 and 73 are provided adjacent to the convex portions 62 and 72 on the head portions 61 and 71 of the fixed contact members 6 and 7, condensation or freezing moisture adheres to the fixed contact surface. Can be reduced satisfactorily. Note that the concave portions 63 and 73 may have complicated concave and convex shapes that further increase the surface area.

(変形態様)
上記実施例では、凸部62、72と頭部61、71を含む固定接点部材6、7とは同一導電材料にて作成されたが、凸部62、72以外の固定接点部材6、7の熱伝導率を凸部62、72の熱伝導率よりも小さくする材料変更を行うことも可能である。これにより、外気急冷時に頭部61、71の非摩耗部と凸部62、72の温度低下を相対的に遅くすることができ、固定接点面への水分の凝結乃至氷結を相対的に低減することができる。
(Modification)
In the above embodiment, the fixed contact members 6 and 7 including the convex portions 62 and 72 and the head portions 61 and 71 are made of the same conductive material, but the fixed contact members 6 and 7 other than the convex portions 62 and 72 It is also possible to change the material to make the thermal conductivity smaller than the thermal conductivity of the convex portions 62 and 72. Thereby, the temperature decrease of the non-wearing part of the head parts 61 and 71 and the convex parts 62 and 72 can be relatively slowed when the outside air is rapidly cooled, and the condensation or freezing of moisture on the fixed contact surface is relatively reduced. be able to.
