Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a starter for a small engine, in which a part of rotational force by a rope reel is stored in a flywheel and is then provided to a rope reel to thereby enable uniform rotation of the rope reel, To a starting device.
Generally, small-sized engine-equipped devices such as docking type farm machinery of 50cc or less class, leisure sport equipment such as RC car and RC helicopter, and motor boat driving motor are usually equipped with a Recoil Starter There is a starter that is called.
Such a recoil starter starts the small engine through the rotational force generated on the rope reel, which is wound on the rope reel as is well known.
More specifically, the recoil starter is provided with a ratchet device for transmitting the rotational force of the rope reel to the crankshaft of the small engine, and is locked to the crankshaft through the ratchet device of the rope reel to rotate the crankshaft, After starting, it is unlocked in the crankshaft and then restored to its original state by reverse rotation of the rope reel.
Here, the recoil starter is provided with a restoring member for restoring the rope reel to its original state.
The restoring member restores the rope and the rope reel by rotating the rope reel reversely through the accumulated rotational force after starting the small engine after the rope reel accumulates the rotational force in accordance with the forward rotation of the small engine.
However, the conventional recoil starter has a problem that the rotation of the crankshaft is varied in accordance with the stroke cycle of the small engine while rotating the crankshaft, so that the rotation of the rope reel is uneven, and furthermore, the rotation of the rope reel can not be continued .
For example, a recoil starter proposed in Korean Patent No. 10-1217391 or Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2014-0009187 discloses a configuration in which the rotational force of a rope reel is transmitted to a drive pulley of an engine through a ratchet member, There is only a constitution in which the rope reel is uniformly rotated or the configuration for continuing the rotation of the rope reel is lacking.
In addition, in the conventional recoil starter, since the elastic member constituting the restoring member is directly connected to the rope reel, stress is directly applied to the fixing portion of the elastic member during rotation of the rope reel, If the fixed part is broken, the entire rope reel must be replaced.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems of the conventional art as described above, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a rope reel in which a part of rotational force of a rope reel for rotating a crankshaft is stored, And it is an object of the present invention to provide a starter for a small engine that uses a flywheel capable of continuing rotation of a rope reel as well as rotation thereof.
More specifically, the present invention relates to a small-sized engine using a flywheel capable of continuously rotating and uniformly rotating the rope reel through rotational inertia by the centrifugal force of the flywheel, while retaining the rotational force of the rope reel via centrifugal force, It is an object to provide a starter.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a starter for a small engine using a flywheel capable of increasing the centrifugal force generated in the flywheel by biasing the weight of the flywheel to the outside as the flywheel rotates.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a starter for a small engine which can prevent breakage of a rope reel by connecting an elastic member for providing a restoring force to the rope reel through a connecting member without directly connecting the rope reel to the rope reel .
In order to accomplish the above object, according to the present invention, there is provided a starter for a small engine using a flywheel, the starter comprising: a housing fixed to the crankshaft in an adjacent state; A rope reel rotatably installed in the housing to provide a rotating force; A rope which is coupled to the rope reel in a state of being rolled and has a knob to rotate the rope reel by pulling the knob; A ratchet coupled to the rope reel to rotate together with the rope reel and to be locked to the crank shaft to transmit rotational force of the rope reel to the crankshaft; A retractor which is compressed by the rotational force of the rope reel to accumulate an elastic force and restores the rope reel and the rope to their original state through an accumulated elastic force; And a flywheel module that stores the rotational force of the rope reel in a state of being connected to the rope reel and provides the rotational inertia by the stored rotational force to the rope reel.
For example, the flywheel module may include a flywheel module rotatably installed in the housing, rotated by the rope reel, formed in a disk shape having a weight, to generate a centrifugal force through a rotational force of the rope reel, A flywheel provided on the rope reel; And a power transmitting member for transmitting rotational force of the rope reel to the flywheel while connecting the flywheel and the rope reel or transmitting rotational inertia of the flywheel to the rope reel.
Here, the power transmitting member is rotatably coupled to the housing, one side of the power transmitting member is engaged with a rotary shaft of the rope reel, the other side of the power transmitting member is engaged with a rotary shaft of the flywheel, And a gear train.
It is preferable that the gear train has a gear ratio that increases the number of revolutions of the rope reel relative to the number of revolutions of the flywheel while transmitting the rotational force of the flywheel to the rope reel.
Further, the flywheel module may further include a centrifugal force increasing unit provided in the flywheel, which increases the centrifugal force of the flywheel by biasing the weight of the flywheel to the outside according to the rotation of the flywheel.
For example, the centrifugal force increasing member may include a guide rail extending from the center of the flywheel toward the outer periphery of the flywheel to provide a moving space, the guide rail having a plurality of radial shapes; A weight slider movably coupled to the guide rail, the weight slider being made of a heavy body and moving to the outer periphery of the flywheel by rotation of the flywheel; And a slider spring provided on the guide rail and providing an elastic force by movement of the weight slider.
The above-mentioned retractor includes a spur gear provided on a rotary shaft of the rope reel, rotated together with the rope reel, and formed with a plurality of teeth along the periphery thereof; An elastic member which is fixed at the other end to the housing and is compressed by rotation of the spur gear to provide an elastic force while one end is connected to the spur gear; And a connecting member for fixing one end of the elastic member while forming an engagement portion of the elastic member in a state engaged with the spur gear and rotating the one end of the elastic member while rotating by the spur gear, A starter for a small engine using a flywheel.
For example, the connecting member may include an internal gear rotating shaft which is fixed to the housing while being adjacent to the spur gear, and which forms an engaging portion of the elastic member; A spur gear rotatably coupled to the internal gear rotating shaft and formed in a circular arc shape about the internal gear rotating shaft and rotatably receiving the spur gear, An internal gear rotated about the rotation axis of the internal gear by rotation of the spur gear; And a spring holder which is formed in a groove shape in the internal gear to accommodate one end portion of the elastic member while providing an engagement portion of the internal gear rotation shaft and rotates the one end portion of the elastic member by rotation of the internal gear Lt; / RTI >
According to the starter for a small engine using the flywheel according to the present invention, since the flywheel constituting the flywheel module transmits rotational inertia by the centrifugal force to the rope reel while the rotational force by the rope reel is stored by the centrifugal force, The rotation of the rope reel can be continued and the starting performance of the engine can be improved.
Further, since the power transmitting member for connecting the flywheel and the rope reel is constituted by a gear train and is constituted by a gear ratio for increasing the number of revolutions of the rope reel relative to the number of revolutions of the flywheel, the rotational inertia of the flywheel is more smoothly transmitted to the rope reel As shown in FIG.
Further, since the weight slider is coupled to the guide rail constituting the centrifugal force increasing member and moved to the outer periphery by rotation of the flywheel, the centrifugal force of the flywheel increases as the weight is concentrated on the outer periphery of the flywheel, .
Further, according to the present invention, as the one end of the elastic member constituting the retainer is not directly compressed by the rope reel but is compressed by the connecting member, the stress caused by the elastic member is not directly applied to the rope reel, In particular, since the spring holder is formed on the internal gear of the connecting member to fix the one end of the elastic member, it is possible to replace the internal gear so that the replacement of the entire rope reel is not necessary, The cost can be reduced.
