Definitions
- the present invention relates to starters for motor vehicles.
- Such a starter is shown in FIG. 1 and comprises an electric motor M mounted inside a first metal cylinder head, an electromagnetic contactor 2 extending parallel to the electric motor M and comprising a coil 2a mounted at the interior of a second metal cylinder head.
- the two cylinder heads are fixed, here by means of tie rods, on a support 4 with interposition here of a support plate 28 of a planetary gear reducer.
- the support 4 is a molded part based on aluminum, which is intended to be fixed on the casing of the internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle hereinafter called the heat engine.
- the support 4 ensures the return to ground and has a front end in the form of a warhead open locally for the passage of the starting crown C of the vehicle's heat engine.
- This warhead is connected to a fixing and centering zone respectively of the electric motor M, of the contactor 2 and of the support 4 on the casing of the heat engine.
- the warhead has at the front (left part of the figure) a support sleeve for a bearing inside which is rotatably mounted the front end of a launcher shaft 100 locally locally at its outer periphery clean splines engaging with complementary grooves formed at the internal periphery of a trainer 12 belonging to a launcher 102 also comprising a pinion 1 connected by a coupling device 14, here freewheeling, to the trainer.
- the shaft 100 is coaxial with the shaft 101 of the electric motor M belonging to the armature of this motor with the interposition here of a reduction gear with planetary gear between the two shafts.
- the aforementioned support plate 28 carries a plastic part in the form of an internally toothed crown and belonging to the aforementioned gear reducer, the input pinion of which is integral with the front end of the shaft of the electric motor.
- the planet carrier of the gear unit is integral with the rear end of the shaft 100.
- the rear end of the shaft 101 is mounted for rotation inside a bearing carried by a part, called the rear bearing, closing the first cylinder head.
- This first cylinder head internally carries an inductor, here with magnets, surrounding, with the presence of an air gap, the armature of the electric motor comprising a rotor in the form of a sheet pack fixed on the shaft of the electric motor knurled to this effect.
- This package of sheets has axial grooves for the accommodation of electrically conductive elements in the form of bars arranged in networks connected to the electrically conductive blades of a collector carried by the rear end of the shaft 101.
- Brushes, mounted at the interior of cages carried by the rear bearing, are intended to cooperate with the blades of the collector, here of the frontal type.
- a series of these brushes is connected to ground via the first cylinder head and the support 4.
- a second series of these brushes is connected to a connector for receiving a cable connecting the connector to a first contact terminal of the contactor 2 secured to 'a cover of electrically insulating material closing the open rear end of the second cylinder head having at its front end a bottom with holes for the passage of an internally hollow movable core 2b.
- the cover also carries a second contact terminal and at least one connection for the electrical supply of the winding 2a.
- a fixed core 2d is installed for attachment to the rear end of the second cylinder head and partially penetrates inside a support 2c of the winding 2a.
- the support 2c has a U-shaped cross-section and therefore constitutes a pad for guiding the core 2b.
- a first shouldered rod passes through the fixed core 2d and carries a contact plate intended to come to bear on the two aforementioned contact terminals having contact pads for this purpose.
- the second terminal is connected to the positive terminal of the battery.
- the winding 2a is connected to this positive terminal of the battery via a start switch operated by the ignition key or any other device.
- This coil 2a is connected to ground via the second cylinder head and the support 4.
- the first rod and the contact plate belong to a movable contact 3, which in its rest position, is held pressed by a cutting spring 19 against the fixed core.
- the cut-off spring acts between the contact plate and the cover provided with a cut-out spring receiving housing.
- Another spring, said contact spring 21, of greater stiffness than that of the cut-off spring is installed axially between the other face of the contact pad and a shoulder of the rod, passing through the fixed core 2d to present an end. .
- the movable core 2b penetrates inside the second cylinder head and into the winding 2a.
- This movable core 2b extends in axial projection relative to the front end, and the second cylinder head.
- the movable core 2b is subjected to the action of a return spring 18 acting between the bottom of the second cylinder head and a shoulder integral with the movable core provided centrally with a blind hole for the axial sliding mounting of a second rod shouldered at its rear end for spring action, said tooth to tooth spring 5, acting between said shoulder and the bottom of the movable core.
- the teeth against teeth spring has a greater stiffness than that of the return spring 18 and less than that of the springs associated with the movable contact 3.
- the front end of the second rod carries an axis for articulation of the upper end of an operating lever 13 of the pinion launcher 102.
- This lever 13 is mounted, at an intermediate pivot point 11 carried by a protuberance secured to the support plate 28 called the base plate.
- This intermediate point 11 has an axial clearance called the JC cutting clearance which makes it possible to electrically disconnect the electric motor from the starter in the event that the pinion 1 remains meshed in the starting crown C.
- this intermediate point 11 may be carried for example by the support 4 of the starter.
- the lower end of the operating lever comprises two arms or branches mounted in an annular groove produced in the driver 12 so that the operating lever is in the form of a fork.
- the groove of the coach is delimited by an annular bottom of axial orientation and by two annular sides of transverse orientation perpendicular to the shaft 100.
- the axial distance between the two sides depends on the thickness of the arms, usually called fingers, of the fork so that these can penetrate at least mounting clearance in the groove to be able to move the driver axially when the contactor is electrically powered.
- the switch 2 As shown in Figure 1, the switch 2, the electric motor M and the launcher are in their rest position. In this position the winding 2a and the electric motor M are not supplied electrically; the aforementioned start switch being open.
- the pinion 1 is at an axial distance from the starter ring C of the heat engine, the movable contact 3 is at a distance from the contact terminals in the form of studs, while the core 2b is at an axial distance from the rod of the movable contact.
- the coil 2a When the switch is closed using the ignition key, the coil 2a is electrically powered and a magnetic field is created so that the movable core 2b moves axially towards the fixed core 2d and the movable contact and moves, via the operating fork, the starter and the pinion 1 in the direction of the crown C.
- the pinion 1 can penetrate between the teeth of the crown C so that it is in the engagement position with the crown C.
- the movement of the pinion 1 is limited by cooperation of the pinion 1 with a working stop 6 secured to the shaft 100.
- the movement of the movable core continuing, the latter comes into abutment against the rod of the movable contact thanks to a washer that carries at the rear the movable core 2b for this purpose.
- the cut-off spring is then compressed until the movable contact closes by contact of its plate with the contact terminals.
- the electric circuit of the electric motor M is then closed so that the latter drives the shaft 100 in rotation and therefore the pinion 1 via the driver and the helical splines intervening between the driver and the shaft 100.
- the magnetic circuit closes completely after the electrical circuit, the movable core 2b coming into contact with the fixed core 2d after compression of the contact spring.
- the freewheel is blocked when the electric motor is running, the internal combustion engine not yet being started.
- the pinion abuts against the crown C without meshing with the latter.
- the 5-tooth spring against teeth is compressed until the movable contact is closed and the electric motor is supplied, which then rotates the shaft 100 with penetration of the pinion teeth 1 into the teeth of the crown C.
- the freewheel allows the pinion to rotate relative to the shaft 100 and therefore to spare the motor M.
- the movable core 2b and the tooth against tooth spring 5 increase the radial size of the contactor, which must be powerful .
- the kinematics which is an intrinsic characteristic of the starter, expresses the advance of the launcher in millimeters between the moment when the ignition key is turned until the moment when the electric motor is energized.
- This kinematics must be greater than the distance that exists at rest between the launcher and the crown C otherwise the electric motor could be energized before the pinion 1 of the launcher has penetrated into the crown C of the heat engine, thus causing the milling of this same crown by the launcher.
- This kinematics depends on the power of the solenoid, comprising the coil 2a, on the mass of the launcher 102, on the stiffness of the various springs present in the system, on the viscosity of the greases, on the friction existing between the various moving elements and on the temperature.
- the kinematics is difficult to optimize given the large number of parameters which influence it.
- the stiffness of the tooth against tooth spring 5 must be sufficient to push the starter pinion 102 into the crown C of a sufficient length when the pinion 1 is no longer in a tooth against tooth position. In return, this stiffness should not be too high because it is a component of the dimensioning of the power of the solenoid 2a.
- the more the tooth against tooth spring 5 has a greater stiffness the more the solenoid must create a strong electromagnetic field.
- the larger the solenoid 2a the larger the magnetic field it has to create.
- the power of the solenoid thus depends on the mass of the launcher 102 and the stiffness of the tooth against tooth spring 5. The more powerful the solenoid, the lower the kinematics.
- a powerful solenoid is able to overcome the force of the tooth-to-tooth spring so as to make the power contact while the launcher will not have practically moved because of its inertia.
- the dimensioning of the solenoid is therefore not easy and takes a significant development time. It is also necessary to adapt the solenoid to the launchers that it must set in motion which results in a lack of standardization.
- the power required to set in motion the smallest launcher is such that the volume of the solenoid 2a is large.
- the diameter of the solenoids is close to 50mm for a length set at most on that of the starter.
- the electric motor is switched on before the starter pinion 1 has penetrated into the crown C. If the surface conditions of the crown C for starting the heat engine or the pinion 1 are degraded, if the stiffness of the tooth against tooth spring is too low, if the electric motor has too much acceleration at the start, which is often the case for starters without a reduction gear, there is a risk of not seeing the launcher penetrate sufficiently into the crown C and thus of rotating the pinion 1 in front of the crown C at high speed, that is to say causing a milling of this crown by the pinion 1 of the launcher thus causing irreversible deterioration.
- Document FR A 2,174,421 discloses a double contact solution in order to generate a pre-rotation of the electric motor.
- the system has a solenoid and comprises a coil electrically connected, on the one hand, to the switch actuated by the ignition key and to a fixed contact positioned on the fixed core of the solenoid and, on the other hand, via the contact plate of the movable contact to a second fixed contact, arranged diametrically opposite the first contact on the fixed core and itself electrically connected directly to the electric motor.
- the contact plate rests on the two aforementioned contacts so that when the switch is closed by actuating the ignition key, the electric motor is energized by passing a current through the contacts via the plate and an electrical resistance.
- the electric motor starts a pre-rotation at low speed while the moving core is set in motion under the action of the magnetic field created by the coil.
- the movable core After engagement of the pinion in the crown C, the movable core, during its displacement, comes into contact with a spring, an independent part and distant from the movable core of a length calculated so that there is contact between the two parts only when the pinion meshes with the crown.
- the contact plate secured to the action of the spring, sets in motion and disconnects from the first two contacts, cutting off the power to the electric motor.
- the plate comes into contact with two other contacts which allow the closing of the power circuit and supply the electric motor under full load.
- the disadvantages of this principle are of two types.
- US patent A 4,418,289 shows a double-stage contactor solution similar to the solution of document FR A 2,174,421.
- This solution is two contact pads coming into contact with two contact series.
- the electrical diagram is identical except that the resistive coil is in this case a pure resistance placed outside the solenoid. The two pads are not brought back simultaneously during deactivation by the ignition key of the contactor solenoid.
- US patent A 5,814,896 presents a solution where the contactor is coaxial with the starter body and is placed at the rear of the device.
- the double contact system is provided by a single-contact plate placed on a movable axis secured to the movable core, which is actuated by a cable running the entire length of the electric motor and connected to the launcher.
- the second contact is made by a movable contact connected to a spring type "clothespin" whose other end is connected to the movable axis. This contact comes into contact with the battery terminal in the same way as the contact plate.
- the disadvantage of this solution consists in the sequential breaking of the two power circuits.
- the invention provides a starter for a motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine and an engine starting ring gear.

- Figures 39 and 40 illustrate, respectively in axial section and schematically, other embodiments of the pre-rotation according to the invention.
- the starter comprises, as in FIG. 1, a support 4 which comprises, first means for fixing and centering the electromagnetic contactor, second means for fixing and centering the electric motor M extending parallel to and below the contactor.
- the support 4 also comprises third means for fixing and centering the starter on the casing of the thermal engine of the motor vehicle so that the pinion 1 of the launcher reliably meshes with the starting ring C of the thermal engine; said crown here belonging to a flywheel integral in rigid or elastic rotation with the crankshaft of the heat engine or internal combustion engine.
- the support 4 is metallic and ensures the return to ground. It is economical because it is here obtained by deformation of material, for example by stamping.
- the electric motor M has a constitution similar to that of FIG. 1 except as regards the mounting of the brushes and the blade collector.
- the brushes are radially oriented and are carried internally by the metal cylinder head 25 of the electric motor and the collector is axially oriented.
- Four brushes are provided here. Two brushes, called negative brushes, are connected to earth via the cylinder head 25 and the support 4.
- Two brushes, called positive brushes are connected to the positive terminal of the battery via the contactor 2.
- the shaft 101 of the electric motor also constitutes the shaft 100 of the launcher and therefore carries the working stop 6.
- the rear bearing 26 is made of plastic and, according to one characteristic, also constitutes the rear bearing of the contactor.
- the cylinder heads of the contactor 2 and of the electric motor M are integral with one another.
- the two cylinder heads belong to one and the same continuous part 25 as visible in FIG. 6.
- the connection cable between the contactor and the positive brushes is eliminated as described below.
- the starter is thus less expensive because it has fewer components.
- the fork 13 is, as in FIG. 1, articulated at an intermediate point 11 on the support 4.
- the fork 13 is articulated at its upper end directly on the movable core 2b of the contactor 2 and penetrates at its lower end , as in FIG. 1, in a groove in the driver 12 belonging to the pinion launcher 102.
- a starter of the above-mentioned type is characterized in that the driver 12 is provided with means for locking it in rotation during its passage from its rest position to its engagement position with the start-up crown.
- the rotation lock is achieved by a fork 13 preferably made of rigid material.
- a rotation blocking device therefore intervenes between the launcher and the fork.
- the launcher is locked in rotation by means of cooperation between the fork 13 and the coach 12 for its passage from its rest position ( Figures 3 and 4) to its engagement position, via its pinion, with the starter ring.
- cooperation means which in FIGS. 3 and 4 are rotationally locking means with cooperation of shapes, are located at the level of the fingers situated at the base of the fork 13 and at the level of the rear face of the driver 12 More precisely, the branches or arms of the fork are received in a groove of the driver 12 delimited by the sides 121, 122, respectively front and rear, transverse with respect to the axis of the shaft 101. In the state the fingers of the fork 13 rest on the smooth rear side 122 of the receiving groove. The branches of the fork are wavy for finger formation as visible at 22.
- the front flank 121 has, for reception of the fingers 22, circumferential undulations 21 as shown in Figures 3 and 38c.
- the front flank 121 may have other means for cooperation of shapes, for example in the form of saw teeth (FIG. 38a), in wolf teeth (FIG. 38b) or wavy (FIG. 38c); the branches of the fork having means complementary to those of the sidewall 121.
- the fork cooperates with the sidewall 121 and has branches with corrugations of shape complementary to that of the sidewall 121.
- the rotation locking means may consist of plane frictions arranged, on the one hand, on the coach and, on the other hand, on the fork.
- the circumferential corrugations 21 are formed by notches 320 and bumps 321.
- the notches 320 are of shapes complementary to those of the fingers 22 of the branches 293 of the fork 13 as shown in FIG. 31
- the protruding fingers 22 penetrate into the notches 320.
- FIG. 33 illustrates a variant of the device for locking the launcher in rotation.
- the internal periphery of the fork has a ring and the fingers 22 of the fork 13 are offset on the ring 15 mounted to slide axially on the tubular portion in the shape of a barrel of the driver.
- This ring 15 is hingedly mounted on the internal end of the rod-shaped body 292 the fork by means of a pivoting means 291 comprising for example a pivot carried by the rod 292 and received in a yoke of the ring 15.
- the ring 15 is actuated by the body 292 of the fork for its axial displacement on the barrel of the coach.
- the pivoting means comprises a clearance JC (not shown) performing the above-described cut-off clearance function.
- the fork 13 therefore does not have an arm but a rod 292 comprising at its lower end the means 291 for pivoting with the ring 15.
- This embodiment of the rotation blocking device carried by a ring 15 has the advantage of having a perfect connection between the ring 15 and the trainer throughout the translation of the launcher which is not the case with the fork which pivots around its axis thus favoring the teeth of the fork to come out of the notches of the trainer.
- the rotation of the launcher is blocked by friction, using magnets, by cooperation of shapes or by any other means.
- the rotation blocking of the launcher consists of means which cooperate rigidly with each other.
- the rotation blocking device wolf teeth, friction, magnets, etc.
- the fork and the rod of the movable axis are parts made from rigid materials which cannot exhibit material deformation under the effect of the force exerted by the attraction of the mobile core.
- An advantage according to the invention is to provide a rotation lock with a reduced number of components, these components being mainly components known in the field of starters, in particular the fork, the movable axis and the groove of the driver in which comes to lodge the fingers of the fork.
- the force exerted by the fork on the launcher is very reduced. It will be appreciated that the mobile core is simplified.
- the relay constituted by the electromagnetic contactor must include a device which allows, on the one hand, to implement the pre-rotation of the electric motor under low power, then apply full power to the same motor and, on the other hand, when opening the ignition key, simultaneously deactivate full power and pre-rotation of the electric motor. It is important to be able to deactivate these two operating modes simultaneously, in particular in the case where the pinion remains blocked in the starting gear.
- the device according to the invention must make it possible, by means of the JC cutting set, to disconnect the full power simultaneously with the pre-rotation in order to completely deactivate the electric motor M.
- the means for rotating the electric motor at slow speed and then at full power comprise two contact plates mounted on a movable axis integral with the movable core and two pairs of contacts
- FIG. 2 there is shown schematically the electric circuit of the starter.
- This comprises a holding coil 37, a call winding 36, a call and pre-rotation coil 39, two electrically conductive contact pads P1 and P2 intended to come into contact with a first series of contacts respectively. comprising two contacts C1 and C2 and with a second series of contacts comprising two contacts C3 and C4, the electric motor M and the start switch 35 electrically connected to the positive terminal of the battery.
- the electric motor M and the holding coil 37 are electrically connected to ground, while the contacts C2 and C4 are electrically connected, respectively by lines 33, 34, to the positive terminal of the battery.
- the call coils 36 and holding coils 37 surround the movable core 2b.
- the pre-rotation coil 39 also surrounds the movable core
- This pre-rotation coil 39 is advantageously electrically connected to the contact C1 of the first series of contacts and to the electric motor M, while contact C3 is electrically connected to the electric motor.
- the plates P1 and P2 are carried by the movable core 2b of FIG. 3.
- the coil 2a comprises the coils 37 and 36 of FIG. 2 mounted in series with the coil 39 in the form of an electrical resistance.
- the motor rotates at slow speed as soon as the first switch consisting of the first plate P1 and the first series of contacts C1, C2 is closed.
- Clearances J1 and J2 are calculated so that the first contact of the wafer P1 with the contacts C1, C2 takes place when the breaking clearance JC is taken up by the movable core and the second contact of the wafer P2 with the contacts C3 , C4 takes place when the movable core is located with respect to the fixed pinion 2d (FIG. 3) almost at zero gap, which ensures good penetration of the pinion in the starting ring gear.
- a clip is used for the first contact pad.
- This clip is produced by producing in the movable axis 40, by means of a removal of material in this axis, a strip 23 provided with a local allowance.
- the contact plate P1 comes into contact with the contacts C1 and C2. It locks while the movable axis continues its axial stroke backwards. The excess thickness of the strip 23 arrives at the level of the plate P1.
- the strip 23 is lowered, leaving passage to the plate P1 which then crosses the extra thickness here located in the middle of the tongue, then rises again afterwards.
- the clip is then in position to operate. On the return, that is to say when the movable axis is moving forward, the excess thickness abuts against the plate P1.
- the axial effort required to bend again the strip 23 being greater than the force provided by the contact spring 20 of the plate, said plate is forced to follow the movement of the movable axis towards the front and therefore disconnects electrically from the contacts C1 and C2.
- this clip makes it possible to electrically disconnect the electric motor, in particular at a slow pre-rotation speed, in the case where the pinion remains blocked in the starting ring gear C of the internal combustion engine. This is possible thanks to the JC cutting set which allows the movable axis to move forward even if the pinion remains geared in the starting gear.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a starter comprising a contactor provided with two contact pads P1 and P2 as described above.
- the mobile core 2b is stage in diameter and has a portion of larger diameter projecting outside the coil 2a.
- This core like that of FIG. 37, is simplified compared to that of FIG. 1 and consists of a simple economic stepped rod of reduced radial size guided by the support 2c of the coil 2a forming a solenoid.
- a return spring 18 acts between the winding support and a shoulder of the front part of the core 2b. This spring replaces the return spring 18 of FIG. 1.
- the first portion of larger diameter penetrates inside the coil 2a and is extended by a second portion of smaller diameter around which is mounted a spring 20 of contact of plate P1 resting on the change in diameter between the first and second portions of the movable core and on the first electrically conductive contact plate P1 wedged axially on an attached stop 54, such as a circlip, mounted at the rear end of the second portion extended by a third portion, of smaller diameter than the second portion, around which is mounted a contact spring 21 bearing on the stop 54 and on the second plate P2 axially wedged on an end stop 38 relative to the rear end of the movable core.
- the electrically conductive plates can therefore move relatively relative to the core 2b.
- the plate P1 wedged axially against the stop 54 is pushed rearward under the action of the spring 20 which is wedged axially forward against a shoulder of the movable core. So, when the movable core moves backwards, the plate P1 moves backwards, under the effect of the contact spring 20, until it comes into abutment against the contacts C1 and C2.
- a recess 60 is provided in the fixed core 2d to allow the passage of the contact spring 20 of the first plate P1.
- the core 2b moves axially by compressing the spring 20. It is the same for the plate P2, the contact spring 21 being compressed under the action of the displacement towards the back of the floor movable core. After opening the switch 35 associated with the ignition key, the springs 21, 20 and 18 exert a permanent action.
- the screw 131 is connected to the positive terminal of the battery and is in electrical connection with an electrical track having a perpendicular return constituting the contact C2.
- contact C1 belongs to an electric track connected to the positive brushes of the electric motor M.
- the contact C3 also belongs to an electric track connected to the positive brushes, the contact C2 is electrically connected, on the one hand, to an electrical resistance to make the electric motor turn at low speed at first and, on the other hand, to contact C4 connected to the positive terminal of the battery.
- FIG. 37 illustrates with greater precision a complete relay integrating an electromagnetic contactor comprising two plates.
- two contact plates P1 and P2 are fixed on a movable plastic pin 40 on which they can move in translation.
- This movable axis 40 and for example fixed by clipping or gluing or welding on the movable core 2b.
- This movable core can have a cylindrical or square section. In the case of a square section, the movable core is produced economically from a stack of sheets.
- Springs 20 and 21 hold the plates against shoulders made in the axis.
- the plates have cylindrical central openings with a diameter equivalent to that of the shoulders to make mounting possible. Then they are fixed by deformation of the opening which reduces along an axis the diameter making the opening oblong.
- the movable axis is integral with the movable core and the assembly can move in translation along the longitudinal axis of the contactor forming a relay.
- a core return spring 18 is positioned at the front between a shoulder secured to the movable core 2b and a washer 2'd secured to the winding support 2a. It allows the movable core to be brought back to its rest position and to be kept in this position after the relay control circuit has been cut.
- the fork is positioned between two sides of the movable core. It is, at rest, resting on one of the flanks and distant from the second flank by a distance called the JC cutting set.
- the lever spring 17 makes it possible, on the one hand to bring the fork back to its rest position after cutting the control circuit, and on the other hand to keep the starter in the rest.
- the springs 17 and 18 are dissociated because the spring 17 has a greater stiffness because the launcher can exert a strong thrust on the fork during sudden decelerations of the vehicle. It is impossible to put a stiffness on the spring 18 equivalent to that of the spring 17 because the winding is not dimensioned, at the start, to counter the axial force created by the spring 17 on the fork.
- the springs 17, 18 allow, as mentioned above, an unlocking of the PL plate
- the fork 13 here in rigid plastic material in a metallic variant, below its axis of rotation 11, separates into two branches 293 like a fork.
- the two ends of this fork have fingers 22 which have a particular shape, here cylindrical, and which can be inserted in the complementary shape 21 located on the external face of the coach.
- These forms, arranged on the trainer can be compared to notches whose purpose is, when the fork is fitted into the trainer, to block the launcher in rotation. On the other hand, if the pitcher has the necessary torque, the trainer can jump the notches by rolling the fork back.
- a strip 23 provided with an additional thickness is created on the movable axis in order to fulfill a clip function with the plate P1 which will make it possible to bring back at the same time, during the opening of the circuit.
- two P1 and P2 plates The double contact is made, firstly by contact of the plate P1 with the contacts C1 and C2, and secondly by contact of the plate P2 with the contacts C3 and C4.

- the contact C1 is electrically connected to the resistive pre-rotation coil by an electrical connection means 30.
- the contact C1 is electrically connected to the contact C3 by an electrical connection means 32.
- the contact C3 is also connected to the electric motor by a connecting means 49.
- the contacts C1 and C2 are electrically connected to a resistive coil for pre-rotation of a resistance close to 150 mohms in order to limit the passage of current to a value between 50 and 80A, thereby ensuring sufficient pre-rotation of the electric motor.
- This resistive pre-rotation coil is placed on top of the other two coils that are conventionally encountered in all contactors, namely the call 36 and holding 37 coils.
- a single plate PO is used as well as a single pair of contacts C5 and C6 which are axially offset relative to each other along the axis of the relay.
- Contact C5 pre-rotates the electric motor M and contact C6 supplies the same motor at full power.
- Contact C6 and connected to the battery.
- the resistive pre-rotation coil 39 is connected to C6 via an electrical connection 48, for example of the wired type.
- the contact C5 is connected directly to the electric motor by an electrical connection means 49.
- This embodiment has the advantage of not using external connection terminals and an external connection wire. This avoids sealing problems at the external terminals and also helps to reduce the size of the starter as well as its cost and weight.
- the contact plate in a first phase is perpendicular to the movable core and moves in contact with a contact connected to the resistor until it comes to the contact of the contact connected to the positive terminal of the battery via the start switch.
- the resistive coil 39 here also serving as a call coil, is electrically connected to the contact plate PO by an electrical connection means 31 which is for example welded to the plate PO.
- This connecting means 31 can consist of a wire coming directly from the winding 39.
- this connecting means 31 can consist of a spring plated on the circumference of the plate PO.
- the movable core 2b continues its course and the movable axis 40, via the contact spring 16 of the wafer, presses on the wafer PO which pivots around the contact C5.
- the plate PO comes into contact with the contact C6, closing the power circuit and short-circuiting the pre-rotation circuit.
- the same clipping system as that used in the previous solution thanks to a strip (not shown) makes it possible to open the two power circuits simultaneously when the movable core returns to its rest position.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a starter comprising a contactor provided with a pivoting PO contact plate as described above.
- the pre-rotation resistance is here in the form of a resistive coil 39 wound next to the winding 2a of attraction of the movable core 2b.
- the resistive coil 39 surrounds the first portion of large diameter of the movable core while the second section of smaller diameter of the movable core is surrounded by the winding 2a for holding and calling.
- the reverse configuration can be carried out.
- the second portion of the movable core 2b is longer, having no spring, while the first portion of this core is shorter and is surrounded by a return spring 18.
- the third portion is surrounded by a spring 16 acting on the plate PO which is unique here, a third spring 24 (visible in Figure 34) acts between the outer periphery of the plate and the fixed core 2d of the coil 2a.
- a contact plate P3 is mounted on a movable axis 40 integral with the movable core and comprising at its external periphery helical grooves 50 cooperating with complementary helical grooves produced at the internal periphery of the P3 brochure.
- the axis 40 carries in radial projection a stop 53 for the plate P3.
- the contact plate P3 is held pressed against a shoulder 51 of the body of the solenoid 2a by an elastic washer 52 secured to the movable axis 40.
- the plate P3 has a special shape as can be seen in FIG. 36. It comprises two circular sectors of which one, of greater circumferential extent, is intended to cooperate with the contact C7 and the other with the contact C8 or C9 axially of the same height. Contacts C7 and C9 are diametrically opposite
- the plate driven by the movable axis and held by the stop 53 follows the translational movement towards the rear. It abuts on the first contact C7, which is connected to the vehicle battery, and on the contact C8, itself electrically connected to C9 by the resistive prerotation coil 39 thus closing the first power contact since the contact C9 is connected directly to the electric motor.
- the movable core continues to advance, and as the plate P3 is blocked - axially, it starts to rotate on itself thanks to the aforementioned grooves and comes into contact C7 and C9 while remaining in contact with C8 via the coil 39 pre-rotation so as not to create a current break. In this position, the resistive coil 39 is short-circuited, which makes it possible to directly supply the electric motor M of the starter at full power.
- the contact crushing force is produced by the axial thrust force of the movable core and reflected by the splines.
- FIGs 29 and 30 a preferred embodiment of the fork 13 according to the invention.
- This fork has an axis of rotation 11 carried for example by the support 4 of the starter. Under the effect of the action of the electromagnetic contactor, the fork 13 rocks in rotation around this axis 11.
- This fork comprises a rod-shaped body 292 making a rigid connection between the axis of rotation 11 and two arms or branch 293. These two arms are advantageously circular in shape. These two arms each carry a tooth 22, in the shape of a finger, oriented towards the front.
- the tooth has forwardly a shape 295 preferably circular capable of cooperating with the notches 320 shown in Figures 31 and 32.

- the movable axle assembly
- the 40-movable core has at its front end an H shape perpendicular to the axis of the mobile axis 40-mobile core assembly and delimiting a recess 300 intended to receive the two branches 298 of the fork 13 for its articulation mounting.
- This recess 300 has an axial length greater than the thickness of the arms 298 of the fork so as to leave a clearance JC, which plays the role of cutting clearance in the event of pinion blockage in the starter ring gear.
- the branches of the H of the front end of the movable axis 40- movable core assembly extend in projection to define in particular a rear shoulder 301 with rear face 301.
- the rear face 301 of the rear shoulder of the recess 300 constitutes the front stop of the return spring 18 of the movable core and the rear face 302 of the ears 297 of the fork 13 constitutes the front stop of the spring recall 17 of the fork.
- the launcher comprises, as in FIG. 1, a driver coupled by a freewheel coupling device to the pinion 1.
- the weight of the launcher can be further reduced by the use of a coupling device with a conical clutch as described for example in the document FR 01 08607 filed on June 29, 2001.
- This coupling device more economical and lighter than that of the freewheeling type will be described below in FIGS. 25 to 28.
- This device makes it possible to reduce the weight of the launcher, as well as the number of these components and the axial size of the launcher.

- the elastic means 10 are carried by the skirt 1b (figure 26) or 12b (figure 27) of the coupling piece.
- This skirt internally carries one of the first and second surfaces 8, 8 ′ and, on the other hand, is, via the bottom of the coupling piece, secured to one of the pinion elements 1 - launcher 12, which is associated with the surface 8, 8 ′ carried internally by the skirt, more precisely by the internal periphery thereof.
- the contact diameter of the first surface 8 with the second surface 8 ' is greater than the diameter of the head circle of the teeth of the pinion.
- the first or second surface 8, 8 'carried by the skirt 1b, 12b is axially longer than the other second or first surface 8', 8.
- the elastic means 10 are carried by the free end of the skirt 1b, 12b and extend in axial projection relative to said other second or first surface 8 ', 8.
- the transverse shoulder is extended at its internal periphery by an annular bearing 4 "generally of axial orientation delimiting with said shoulder a removal of material to accommodate at least partially the elastic means with axial action 10.
- the elastic means with axial action here have the form of a circlip and are received in a groove produced at the internal periphery of the free end of the skirt.
- These elastic means alternatively have claws intended to come into resilient engagement with the internal periphery of the free end of the skirt of the coupling piece as described in the aforementioned document FR 01 08607 to which reference will be made for more details.

- the elastic means with axial action 10 comprise a washer 10a surrounding the elastic tongues 10b.
- These elastic tabs are connected to the internal periphery of the washer 10a in favor of rooting zones 10d.
- the tongues 10b consist of arms in the form of an annular sector extending circumferentially in overhang on either side of a zone d 'rooting 10d.
- the washer 10a has a radial slot 10g symmetrically affecting one of the two rooting zones 10d; four arms 10b being provided at the rate of two arms per zone 10b.
- the first stop is formed by means of a circlip or a stop ring mounted in a groove produced at the internal periphery of the free end of the skirt.
- the elastic means 10 can then consist of at least one Belleville washer or at least one corrugated washer or even a frustoconical coil spring bearing on the circlip or the ring for action on the trainer ( Figure 26) or on the pinion (figure 27) for controlled tightening of surfaces 8,8 '.
- the first stop is attached to the free end of the skirt.
- the elastic means with axial action comprise an elastic washer.
- the free end of the skirt consists of a tubular extension.
- skirt of the coupling piece is of frustoconical shape.
- the pinion 1 is in one piece with the coupling part generally in the shape of a bell and this coupling part is fixed to the pinion.
- the coach is in an embodiment obtained by molding, for example being made of plastic.
- the corrugations 21 are easily obtained by molding from the front flank 121.
- FIG. 25 we see the decomposition of the forces when the pinion 1 is in contact with the working stop 6. More precisely, the initial pressure of the elastic means between the stops produces a friction torque between the driver and the pinion which is always, by construction, greater than the torque necessary for screwing and advancing the launcher on the shaft 100. This condition allows the self-priming movement of the launcher between its rest position and its advanced position against the working stop, 6 at the start of the drive phase of the vehicle engine via the starter ring.
- This force Fa is itself decomposed at the frustoconical friction surfaces to create a normal contact force Fc, which generates a tangential force Ft at the frustoconical surfaces 8,8 'as a function of the coefficient of friction between these surfaces.
- the value of this force Ft multiplied by the average contact radius of the frustoconical friction surfaces determines the torque Ce transmitted by the conical clutch 7.
- Ft is related to Fc and to the coefficient of friction fc between the two materials of the frustoconical friction surfaces of the clutch 7.
- a is the value of the half-angle at the top of the cone of contact between the frustoconical friction surfaces and fc the coefficient of adhesion. All these values are calculated according to mechanics formulas known per se and depend on the applications.
- the pinion 1 rotates faster than the output shaft 100 which allows the starter to be unscrewed on the shaft 100.
- the axial force previously transmitted disappears and only the residual torque remains low due to the elastic means 10 which is transmitted to the electric motor of the starter.
- the clutch behaves like a freewheel device with a relative movement between the surfaces 8,8 '.
- the mean contact diameter between the two surfaces 8,8 ' is therefore also a friction diameter in the event of overspeed.
- Figures 31 and 32 illustrate a conical clutch launcher having provided with rotation locking means according to the invention.
- the launcher has a trainer provided with a groove for receiving the fork.
- the trainer 12 comprises a front flange of transverse orientation, advantageously of annular shape, perforated centrally for passage of the launcher shaft 100 associated with the launcher.
- This flange is extended towards the rear by a barrel-shaped tubular portion surrounding the shaft 100 and having locally at its internal periphery the helical grooves, better visible in FIG. 25, for cooperation with the complementary helical grooves formed locally at the outer periphery of the shaft 100.
- the tubular portion carries, for example axially secured, a washer, not referenced in FIGS. 3 and 4, the front face of which constitutes the side 122 of the groove for receiving the lower end of the fork 13.
- the other side 121 of this annular groove is formed by the rear face of the front flange of the coach.
- the sidewall 122 and its associated washer came from molding with the driver (FIG. 27).
- the bottom of the groove is axially oriented and has an annular shape. This bottom belongs to the tubular portion on which the arms of the fork overlap or the ring 15 of the fork slides.
- the front flange is extended forward at its outer periphery by the skirt 12b.
- the flange is massive and is extended forward by the range 4 ".
- the flange is extended at its outer periphery towards the front by a cylindrical skirt internally constituting a track for the rollers of the freewheel.
- the starter of FIGS. 2, 3 and 37 comprising a contactor provided with two contact pads P1 and P2 operates in the following manner.
- the winding 2a composed of the call winding 36 and the holding winding 37 mounted in series with the electric motor M, is supplied creating a weak magnetic field sufficient to overcome the force exerted by the return spring 18.
- the movable core 2b moves towards the fixed core 2d while first compressing the return spring 18 of the core and the return spring 17 of fork 13.
- the movable core catches up with the cutting clearance JC by compressing the return spring 18.
- the fork 13 remains immobile because it is held in place by the fork return spring 17, the stiffness of this fork return spring 17 being greater than that of the return spring 18 of the core.
- the movable core moves the first contact pad P1 against the first series of contact C1, C2 which has the effect of energizing the coil 39 for calling and pre-rotating the relay creating additional efforts to attract the mobile core.
- This coil 39 for calling and pre-rotation has an electrical resistance which limits the current flowing in the electric motor to a value preferably between 40 and 80 amps.
- This additional pre-rotation coil 39 is wound, for example, around the other two call and maintenance coils 36 in the contactor.
- the movable core comes to pull the fork 13 which pivots around its axis to come into contact with the external face of the trainer provided with notches.
- the launcher 102 blocked in rotation by the teeth or fingers 22 of the fork inserted in the notches 320 of the trainer, starts translational movement.
- This translation is effected by means of the helical grooves carried by the armature shaft 102 which act as a worm.
- the angle of the helical grooves referenced at 9 in Figure 25, is between 18 ° and 25 °. Of course, this angle can be increased to have inclinations of the order of 45 °.
- the rotation lock of the launcher and these means the electromagnetic power and the radial size of the contactor can be reduced, thanks to an energy supply from the electric motor.
- the size and the weight of the launcher have a smaller impact on the dimensioning of the contactor, compared to a traditional contactor, so that one can choose with less constraints the launcher, which can be lighter or heavier.
- the fork always attracted by the moving core, follows the progress of the launcher and therefore remains in contact with the trainer, always blocking it in rotation.
- the fork is follower and does not contribute to moving the launcher forward.
- the fork in addition to its role of blocking the launcher in rotation, can also participate in the forward movement of the launcher by providing force at the level of its fingers resulting from the displacement of the movable core towards the rear.
- the pinion then reaches the level of the crown C of the heat engine.
- the launcher continues its progression until the movable core comes into abutment against the fixed core.
- the pinion can also be in tooth-to-tooth position against the crown.
- the pinion is locked in translation and in rotation.
- the armature provides a torque proportional to the low intensity current.
- the starter is still in the pre-rotation phase.
- the electric motor exerts a torque on the pinion and the launcher through the grooves carried by the armature shaft 100.
- the coach Being blocked in translation, the coach will rotate so as to push the fork 13 towards the rear which is no longer able to block the driver in rotation.
- the fork can be pushed back because the coil 2a of the contactor has a force less than the force exerted by the notches on the fork.
- the pinion when turning, finds an opening in the crown of the motor, it enters there pushed by the axial force of the fork generated by the attraction of the mobile core by the solenoid 2a.
- the value of the intensity to be passed through the first power circuit is dimensioned so that the pinion enters rotation in tooth / tooth phase, that is to say that the armature has the torque necessary for the pinion to make skip the notches and push the fork back.
- the value of this intensity is a function of the angle of the helical grooves, the shape of the notches and the dimensioning of the solenoid 2a.
- the means of cooperation between the launcher and the fork, which in the illustrated figures form means for locking in rotation, are therefore of the disengageable type; the launcher being mobile in translation and fixed in rotation during the aforementioned movement, while the launcher shaft 100 is mobile in rotation and fixed in translation which allows the launcher to advance axially via the above-mentioned helical grooves.
- the contactor 2 thus becomes a part of reduced size and its specification becomes independent of the dimensioning of the launcher. - Once the pinion 1 has successfully entered the ring C under the effect of the armature rotation, it continues its forward movement under the effect of the rotation of the armature.
- the movable core comes into abutment against the fixed core, which has the effect, on the one hand, of closing the power contact between C3 and C4 via the second plate and, on the other hand, to disengage the fork from the pitches of the launcher.
- the pinion can reach the end of the stroke against the shaft stop while being released from the fork. The rotation lock is thus disengageable when the pinion 1 abuts against the starter ring.
- the armature of the electric motor is then supplied at full power. It can therefore drive the crown C to start the engine.
- the two pads 290 provided at the base of the fork have the function of avoiding too great a recoil of the launcher during the freewheeling phase during which the pinion tends to be tightened as described above. In the absence of these pads 290, this decline would have the consequence of bringing the notches of the coach into contact with the fingers of the fork, which would cause wear and noise.
- These pads come ( Figure 31) to bear on a flange 310 located on the periphery of the coach.
- the shape of the arms of the fork which supports these fingers and these pads is such that the pads can only be in contact with the driver when the fork is in the pivoting or maximum rotation position.
- the winding 2a is de-energized, which has the effect of canceling the force of attraction on the mobile core 2b.
- Fork return spring 17 assisted by springs 18, 20 and 21 pressing respectively on the fork and the movable core 2b forces the movable core to disengage and return to its rest position.
- the movable axis 40 integral with the core, pulls the wafer P2 with it.
- the additional thickness of the strip 23 comes into abutment on one face of the plate PL
- the angle of the slope of this additional thickness is dimensioned (approximately 40 °) so that the force necessary for the strip to collapse is greater than the force of resistance to the contact opening produced between the plate P1 and the contacts C1 and C2.
- the plate P1 will follow the movable axis and the two power circuits will open simultaneously.
- the plate P1 arrives at the fixed core, it is stopped while the movable axis always moves back.
- the strip then collapses, the force necessary for this subsidence is provided by the springs 18 and 21.
- the additional thickness passes on the other side of the plate and the strip returns to its initial position relative to the plate P1.
- the rotation lock of the launcher and the management of the tooth against tooth position are carried out by the notching system arranged on the one hand, on the rear face of the coach and on the other hand, on the front end of the base of the fork.
- the launcher is returned to its rest position thanks to the fork and the screwing during the freewheeling phase on the splines of the armature shaft. Maintaining in the rest position is achieved by the return spring 17 located between the relay and the fork, as in a traditional device.
- the relay is no longer dimensioned to develop a pushing force. It is not very dependent on the mass of the launcher. It is dimensioned to overcome, in the initial position, the force exerted by the return spring 17 on the movable core. Thereafter, the solenoid 2a must have the power necessary to overcome the return springs 18 of the launcher, and crushing 20, 21 of the contact pads in the variants where they are present.
- the gain in mass of copper, in magnetic materials, in size, in cost and development time are the direct advantages of this undersizing.
- the relay constituted by the electromagnetic contactor comprising the call, holding and pre-rotation coils is no longer dimensioned to develop a force for pushing the driver forward for the purposes of the engagement of the pinion in the crown C of the heat engine. Its dimensioning is not very dependent on the mass of the launcher. It is dimensioned only to be able to overcome the force exerted by the return springs on the movable core when the solenoid is energized. It must also be dimensioned to allow the rotation of the starter when the pinion is in tooth-to-tooth position by a rearward movement of the fork which can disengage from the wolf teeth thanks to a slight displacement of the movable core forwards .
- the gain in mass of copper, in magnetic materials, in size, in cost and development time are the direct advantages of this undersized contactor according to the present invention.
- Another advantage of this invention consists in that the starter does not include additional parts for the implementation of a contactor and a driver according to the invention.
- the penetration of the launcher by pre-rotation of the armature may require the installation in the relay of a two-contact switching system, in the case where the intensity of pre-rotation exceeds the limit given by the control system (ignition key), one to let low power through (current limited to 80 amps), the other to let all available power through.
- a starter devoid of tooth against tooth spring and of pre-rotation device can be envisaged.
- all the power is allocated to the armature.
- a single contact relay would be sufficient.
- it is the strong acceleration of the armature at start-up which would cause the launcher to advance by inertia by coming to be screwed onto the helical splines of the armature shaft without locking in rotation by a fork.
- the tooth against tooth problem would no longer appear thanks to the permanent rotation of the pinion during its forward travel by screwing on the armature shaft.
- FIG. 40 illustrate another embodiment of the pre-rotation according to the invention.
- a current is passed through the holding coil 37 and the call coil 36.
- This current in particular that passing through the call coil 36, must be sufficient to activate the electric motor M in a pre-rotation movement, that is to say it must be sufficient to allow the electric motor M to overcome the frictional forces which appear during the starting the starter.
- friction forces appear for example at the level of the grooves cooperating with the launcher, at the level of the fork pressing against the throat of the trainer and in particular depends on the forms of the means of cooperation between the teeth of the fork and the internal face of the groove of the coach for locking in rotation as described above.
- the contact plate PO comes into contact with the power pads C1 and C2
- the electric motor is activated at full power and the holding coil remains active while the call coil 36 is short-circuited.
- FIG. 39 illustrates a contactor authorizing an effective pre-rotation and which uses only a call coil 36 and holding 37 without using an additional resistive element such as a call and pre-rotation coil 39 as described previously.
- a contactor has the advantage of using only two springs, namely a return spring 18 of the core and a contact spring 20 to guarantee good contact between the contact pad PO and the power pads C1 and C2.
- the fork can be pushed back because the winding 2a of the contactor has a force less than the force exerted by the notches on the fork 13.
- the pinion finds an opening in the crown of the motor, it penetrates there pushed by the 'axial force of the fork generated by the attraction of the mobile core by the solenoid 2a.
- the movable core 2b has a movable axis 40 which is integral with it in translation (coupled axis) so that it is the spring of reminder 18 which acts as a cut-off spring.
- the fork 13 is identical to that described in FIGS. 3, 4, 29 and 30 and allows a rotation lock of a launcher similar to that described in FIGS. 3, 4, 31, 32, 33.
- the fork in addition to the function of blocking the launcher in rotation, also helps the launcher to move forward thanks to the force exerted towards the rear by the movable core 2b under the effect of the magnetic field created by the current passing through the solenoid 2a. This promotes the movement of the launcher by reducing the risk of jamming at the grooves.
