Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to an engine stop device for a portable small engine such as a small engine generator.

[Conventional technology]

A small engine generator or the like has a carrying handle attached to it so that it can be carried to a desired place and used. After placing it in the desired location, connect the ignition switch and start the engine with the starter to use. The engine can continue to run until the ignition switch is turned off. There is also a gas cylinder in which the engine is operated so that the carrying handle cannot be gripped unless the gas cylinder is removed. For example,
See Japanese Patent Publication 64-53426.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

If the engine is carried while it is running, the posture of the engine may be tilted, the oil surface of the lubricating oil may be tilted, resulting in insufficient lubrication, or the fuel may be spilled. In addition, the exhaust gas may be discharged in the direction of hitting other objects, or the connected electric equipment may be dragged. If the handle cannot be gripped without removing the gas cylinder, the engine will stop when the gas cylinder is removed, but there is the inconvenience of having to carry the gas cylinder separately.

In consideration of this point, this invention is a portable small engine,
When the carrying handle is grasped, the kill switch is connected to stop the engine, and during transportation, the engine cannot be stopped and cannot be operated, and an engine stop device for a portable small engine that does not cause the above inconvenience is obtained. The purpose is to

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, an engine stop device for a portable small engine of the present invention is a small engine that can be carried by attaching a carrying handle, and in addition to an engine ignition switch, a kill engine that can stop the engine. The switch was installed in the carrying handle, and when the carrying handle was held, the kill switch was connected to short the ignition switch and stop the engine.

[Action]

When the engine is running at the desired location, when moving the engine to another location, if you hold the carrying handle, the kill switch will work and the engine will stop without operating the ignition switch. To do. In this way, when the engine is transported, the engine can be reliably brought into a stopped state, and it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience that exhaust gas hits another object or insufficient lubrication occurs.

〔Example〕

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The figure shows the case of a portable small engine generator. The engine connected to the generator is housed in the box 1, and the fuel tank is also housed in the box 1. A carrying handle 2 is attached to the upper surface of the box 1 so that the carrying handle 2 can be carried to a desired place. An ignition switch 3 is provided in the box 1, and when the ignition switch 3 is turned on,
When the hand starter 4 is pulled and cranking is performed, the engine starts and the operation starts. In addition to this, a kill switch 5 that can stop the engine is installed in the carrying handle 2. The carrying handle 2 is provided with a groove in the lower center thereof so that the lever 6 can be seen through. The lever 6 has one end pivotally attached by a support shaft 7 and is urged downward by a spring 8. When attempting to move the box 1 containing the engine with the carrying handle 2, the lever 6 is lifted against the spring 8 by the hand holding the carrying handle 2, and the contact 9 of the kill switch 5 is pushed to kill the box. The switch 5 is connected and the engine is stopped. In this way, even if the engine is not stopped by the ignition switch 3, the engine can be stopped by the kill switch 5 when the engine is transported. Although the kill switch 5 is operated by the lever 6, a pressure sensor may be attached to the carrying handle and the kill switch may be opened and closed by the gripping force of the carrying handle.

[Effect of device]

As described above, the present invention is configured as described above. Therefore, when the engine is moved while holding the carrying handle, the kill switch provided on the carrying handle stops even when the engine is in operation. To do. Thus, even if the ignition switch is operated each time and the engine is not stopped, the engine can be surely stopped by grasping the carrying handle. For this reason, it is possible to prevent hot exhaust gas from hitting a nearby object, tilting the engine to cause insufficient lubrication, and preventing fuel from running out.
