Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a starter for a small engine using a flywheel,

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.

Korean Patent No. 10-1217391 Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2014-0009187

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.

The starting device for a small engine according to the present invention includes a housing 100, a rope reel 200, a rope 300, a ratchet 400, a retractor 500, and a flywheel module 600 ). ≪ / RTI >

The housing 100 is a member for accommodating a component to be described later, which is formed in a body, and is formed in a state of being adjacent to a crankshaft of a small engine, not shown,

2, the housing 100 accommodates a rope reel 200, a ratchet 400 and a retractor 500, which will be described later, and a flywheel module 600, which will be described later, is accommodated in the housing 100 .

The housing 100 faces the crankshaft of the small engine through the opening while being fixed to a small agricultural machine, a leisure mechanism or the like.

In addition, the housing 100 is formed with a draw-out hole 110 through which a rope 300 to be described later is drawn out.

2, the housing 100 includes a shaft hole 150 to which a rotary shaft of a rope reel 200 is coupled, an internal gear rotation shaft 531 to which an internal gear 532 to be described later is rotatably engaged, A housing protrusion 533a to which the other end 523 of the elastic member 520 is fixed and a wheel rotation shaft 611a to which a flywheel 610 described later is coupled.

1 and 2, the housing 100 may be formed as a long elongated shape to accommodate a flywheel 610 described later. The housing 100 may be formed in a circular shape as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 and may include a flywheel 610 It may be rotatably received.

2, the rope reel 200 is rotatably installed in the shaft hole 150 of the housing 100 to form a rope 300, The crank shaft is rotated through the ratchet 400 described later to start the engine.

The rope reel 200 receives a rotational inertia force of the flywheel 610 while storing part of the rotational force in the flywheel 610, which will be described later, while accumulating a part of the rotational force through the retractor 500 described later.

As shown in FIG. 3, the rope reel 200 includes a rope track 210 having a spiral groove shape along the outer circumferential surface thereof to provide a winding portion of the rope 300.

The rope 300 is a component for applying a rotational force to the rope reel 200. The rope reel 200 is wound around the rope track 210 of the rope reel 200 with one end thereof fixed to the rope reel 200, The other end is drawn out by the hole 110 and the rope reel 200 is rotated as the handle 310 provided at the other end is pulled.

Here, the rope track 210 of the rope reel 200 may be formed so that the outer diameter gradually decreases from the side of the handle 310 of the rope 300 toward the end side, unlike the illustrated example. That is, since the outer diameter of the rope track 210 on the side of the handle 310 is the largest, a large rotational force can be obtained even with a small force, and since the outer diameter of the end side of the rope 300 is the smallest, A large number of revolutions can be obtained.

Therefore, when the outer diameter of the rope reel 200 becomes narrower, the rope reel 200 smoothly rotates by the pulling of the rope 300, even with a small force at the beginning of the starting operation, The small engine can be easily started.

The ratchet 400 is a component that is coupled to the rope reel 200 and transfers the rotational force of the rope reel 200 to the unshown crankshaft or is separated from the crankshaft after starting.

Alternatively, the ratchet 400 may be configured to have a slider structure that protrudes forward of the rope reel 200 by rotation of the rope reel 200, and is locked while being caught by the crank shaft through the protrusion of the slider.

Here, the detailed configuration of the ratchet 400 is well known in the art to which the present invention belongs, and therefore, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[

6 and 7, the internal gear 532 is formed with an arc-shaped slot 532a passing through the internal gear rotating shaft 531 and rotatably receiving the spur gear 510 And the spur gear 510 is engaged with the spur gear 510 in an inscribed state through the teeth formed along the slot 532a and is rotated about the internal gear rotating shaft 531 by the rotation of the spur gear 510.

7, the internal gear 532 is guided by the rotation shaft of the rope reel 200, and the guide rail 532b is formed through the slot 532a to guide the rotation of the guide rail 532b.

6, the spring holder 533 is formed as an identical groove in a part of the internal gear 532 to receive the internal gear rotating shaft 531 and a part of the elastic member 520, as shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 Is an element for rotating and compressing the one end portion 522 of the elastic member 520 by the rotation of the internal gear 532 as shown in Fig.

The flywheel module 600 provides a rotational inertia to the rope reel 200 by a stored rotational force while storing part of the rotational force of the rope reel 200 to uniformly rotate the rope reel 200, Is a component that makes it more sustainable.

This flywheel module 600 may be configured to include a flywheel 610 and a power transmitting member 620 as shown in FIG.

2, the flywheel 610 is rotatably installed on the wheel rotating shaft 611a of the housing 100 and is connected to the rope reel 620 via a power transmission member 620, The centrifugal force is generated while rotating by the rotational force of the rotor 200, and the rotational inertia due to the centrifugal force is transmitted to the rope reel 200 again.

That is, the flywheel 610 is a component that temporarily keeps the rotational energy as it is applied to an ordinary automobile and then discharges it again, while continuing the rotation while maintaining a uniform rotation of the crankshaft.

Unlike the flywheel 610, the outer periphery of the flywheel 610 may be thickened to more smoothly generate centrifugal force.

The power transmitting member 620 transmits the rotating force of the rope reel 200 to the flywheel 610 while the flywheel 610 and the rope reel 200 are connected to each other, To the reel (200).

The power transmitting member 620 may be configured as a gear train having a gear ratio set as shown in Figs.

Specifically, the gear train is engaged with the rotation shaft of the rope reel 200, that is, the spur gear 510 described above, and is engaged with the rotation shaft 611 of the flywheel 610 while being rotatably coupled to the housing 100 And transmits rotational force to each other while interlocking.

The gear train may be configured to have a set gear ratio. For example, the gear train may be configured to transmit the rotational force of the flywheel 610 to the rope reel 200 while increasing the gear ratio of the rope reel 200 to the rotational speed of the flywheel 610 .

Meanwhile, the flywheel module 600 of the present invention may further include a centrifugal force increasing member 630 as shown in FIG.

The centrifugal force increasing member 630 is a component that increases the centrifugal force of the flywheel 610 by biasing the weight of the flywheel 610 outward.

The centrifugal force increasing member 630 may include a guide rail 631, a weight slider 632, and a slider spring 633 as shown in FIG.

5, the guide rail 631 extends from the center of the flywheel 610 to the outer periphery of the flywheel 610 and forms a groove, as shown in FIG. 5. The guide rail 631 guides the weight slider 632, And forms a plurality of weight sliders 632 in a radial direction.

The weight slider 632 is composed of a weight and is movably coupled to each of the guide rails 631 and moves toward the outer side of the guide rail 631 by the rotation of the flywheel 610.

That is, since the weight slider 632 moves to the outer periphery of the guide rail 631 by rotation of the flywheel 610, the weight of the weight slider 632 is concentrated to the outer periphery, and the centrifugal force increases.

5, each of the slider springs 633 is fixed to the center of the flywheel 610, and the other end is fixed to the weight slider 632, The weight slider 632 is returned to its original position after rotation of the flywheel 610 while providing an elastic force by the movement of the slider 632. [

The operation and operation of the present invention including the above-described components will be described.

At start-up of the small engine, the user pulls the handle 310 of the rope 300 to rotate the rope reel 200.

At this time, the flywheel 610 rotates by the rotational force of the rope reel 200 transmitted through the gear train constituting the power transmitting member 620 to generate centrifugal force, and the rotational inertial force by centrifugal force is transmitted to the rope reel 200 .

Here, the flywheel 610 transmits the increased centrifugal force to the rope reel 200 as the weight slider 632 moves to the outer periphery of the guide rail 631 in the process of rotating, and the gear ratio of the gear train is transmitted to the rope reel 200 So that the rotation of the rope reel 200 is smoothly accelerated.

As the rope reel 200 rotates, the ratchet 400 rotates the crank shaft through the rotational force of the rope reel 200 to start the engine while being locked to the crankshaft of the engine, and is separated from the crankshaft after the start of the engine.

At this time, the crankshaft starts the engine while uniformly rotating as the rotational force of the flywheel 610 is continuously transmitted to the rope reel 200 while performing a starting stroke of the engine.

The spur gear 510 constituting the retractor 500 rotates the internal gear 532 and the spring holder 533 while rotating together with the rope reel 200 on the other side of the ratchet 400, The one end portion 522 is compressed while rotating by the spring holder 533 to accumulate the elastic force.

Then, after starting the engine, the elastic member 520 reversely rotates the spring holder 533 and the internal gear 532 through the elastic force.

Thus, the rope reel 200 is returned together with the rope 300 while being reversely rotated by the internal gear 532 and the spur gear 510.

As described above, in the starter for a small engine using the flywheel according to the present invention, when the flywheel 610 constituting the flywheel module 600 stores the rotational force of the rope reel 200 by the centrifugal force, As the inertia is transmitted to the rope reel 200, the rope reel 200 can be rotated uniformly, and the rotation of the rope reel 200 can be continued for a longer time, thereby improving the starting performance of the engine.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes, substitutions, and alterations can be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention.
