Description

本発明は、エンジン始動装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an engine starting device.

環境対策及びエネルギー資源の節約のために、自動車を運転中にエンジンの一時停止が許容される所定条件が成立したときに、エンジンに供給する燃料を遮断することによりアイドリングを自動的にストップさせる事が考えられており、既に一部の自動車において実施されている。   In order to save environmental resources and save energy resources, idling can be automatically stopped by shutting off the fuel supplied to the engine when a predetermined condition is established that allows the engine to pause while the vehicle is in operation. Is already being implemented in some automobiles.

このアイドルストップにおいて、エンジンが完全に停止した後に再始動を行う場合は、エンジンのリングギヤも完全に停止しており、従来のエンジン始動装置でも容易にエンジンの再始動を行える。   In this idle stop, when restarting after the engine is completely stopped, the ring gear of the engine is also completely stopped, and the engine can be easily restarted even with a conventional engine starter.

ところが、アイドルストップが実施された後のエンジンが惰性回転中に、例えば交差点の信号が青色となり、運転者による発進操作(一例としてブレーキペダルの解除)が行われた場合、従来のエンジン始動装置ではエンジンのリングギヤが完全に停止しないとエンジンの再始動が行えず、運転者の再始動要求に俊敏に対応できないばかりか、後続車等の周りの交通機関に迷惑を掛けてしまうおそれがある。   However, when the engine after idle stop is coasting, for example, the signal at the intersection turns blue and the driver performs a starting operation (for example, release of the brake pedal). If the ring gear of the engine does not stop completely, the engine cannot be restarted, and not only the driver's restart request can be responded promptly, but there is a possibility that the transportation around the following vehicle or the like may be disturbed.

これに対し、アイドルストップ後のエンジン惰性回転中に、まずピニオンを押し出してリングギヤに噛み込ませてから、モータに通電してエンジンを再始動させる技術が示されている(特許文献1)。   On the other hand, a technique is disclosed in which, during engine inertia rotation after idle stop, a pinion is first pushed out and engaged with a ring gear, and then the motor is energized to restart the engine (Patent Document 1).

特許第4645771号公報Japanese Patent No. 4645771

特許文献1に示される従来の技術では、まずピニオン押し出し手段を作動させてリングギヤに噛み込ませる第一のタイミングと、ピニオンがリングギヤに噛み込んだ後にモータへ通電する第二のタイミングとを、所定の遅延時間として設定している。このため、所定の時間未満でピニオンがリングギヤに噛み込んだ場合でも、所定の時間が経過するまでモータに通電されないため、エンジンの再始動要求に俊敏に対応できないという課題がある。   In the prior art disclosed in Patent Document 1, firstly, a first timing at which the pinion pushing means is actuated to be engaged with the ring gear and a second timing at which the motor is energized after the pinion is engaged with the ring gear are predetermined. The delay time is set. For this reason, even when the pinion is engaged in the ring gear in less than a predetermined time, the motor is not energized until the predetermined time elapses, so that there is a problem that it is not possible to quickly respond to the engine restart request.

そこで、本発明は、エンジンの再始動要求に俊敏に対応できるエンジン始動装置を提供する。   Therefore, the present invention provides an engine starter that can quickly respond to an engine restart request.

以下、図面を用いて実施例を説明する。   Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings.

図1は、本発明の装置の一例を示すエンジン始動装置の全体図である。エンジン始動装置1はハーネス2によりバッテリ3に接続されており、通電によりモータ4の回転力は出力軸5を介してヘリカルスプイライン(図示せず)により係合されたピニオン移動体6に伝達される。ピニオン移動体6は、一方向クラッチ7と、一方向クラッチ7のクラッチインナ7aにストレートスプライン(図示せず)で係合されたピニオン8と、クラッチインナ7aとピニオン8の間に、セット荷重を持って設置された弾性体9と、ピニオン8は弾性体9のセット荷重によりピニオンストッパ7cに押し付けられており、クラッチインナ7aにはピニオン8の軸方向ストローク量を規制するストッパ7bを設けて構成され、ピニオン8はクラッチインナ7a上に設けられたストレートスプライン(図示せず)上を、弾性体9を撓ませながら、ストッパ7bに当接するまで軸方向に移動可能な様に設置されている。   FIG. 1 is an overall view of an engine starting device showing an example of the device of the present invention. The engine starter 1 is connected to a battery 3 by a harness 2, and the rotational force of the motor 4 is transmitted via an output shaft 5 to a pinion moving body 6 engaged by a helical spiline (not shown) through energization. Is done. The pinion moving body 6 applies a set load between the one-way clutch 7, the pinion 8 engaged with the clutch inner 7a of the one-way clutch 7 by a straight spline (not shown), and the clutch inner 7a and the pinion 8. The holding elastic body 9 and the pinion 8 are pressed against the pinion stopper 7c by the set load of the elastic body 9, and the clutch inner 7a is provided with a stopper 7b for regulating the axial stroke amount of the pinion 8. The pinion 8 is installed on a straight spline (not shown) provided on the clutch inner 7a so as to be movable in the axial direction until it abuts against the stopper 7b while bending the elastic body 9.

マグスイッチ10に通電することにより吸引力を発生し、この吸引力によりレバー11を介して、ピニオン移動体6をエンジンクランク軸(図示せず)のリングギヤ12に噛み合うように押し出し、かつモータ4への通電を行う接点(図示せず)を介し、バッテリ3の電気エネルギーをモータ4へ供給するように構成され、モータ4の回転力を出力軸5及びピニオン移動体6を介して、エンジンクランク軸のリングギヤ12に伝達することにより、エンジンがクランキングされてエンジンが始動する。なおモータ4と出力軸5の間に、モータ4のトルクを増幅するための減速機を設けても良い。   By energizing the mag switch 10, a suction force is generated, and the pinion moving body 6 is pushed by the suction force so as to mesh with the ring gear 12 of the engine crankshaft (not shown) via the lever 11 and to the motor 4. The electric energy of the battery 3 is supplied to the motor 4 via a contact (not shown) for energizing the engine 4, and the rotational force of the motor 4 is supplied to the engine crankshaft via the output shaft 5 and the pinion moving body 6. By transmitting to the ring gear 12, the engine is cranked and the engine is started. A reduction gear for amplifying the torque of the motor 4 may be provided between the motor 4 and the output shaft 5.

図2はピニオン移動体周りの拡大図である。ピニオン8が弾性体9を撓ませならストッパ7bに当接するまでのピニオン8の軸方向移動量をL1とする。このL1は、後述するリングギヤ面取り13の軸方向長さL2やピニオン面取り14の軸方向長さL3に対し、L1>L2および/またはL1>L3となるように設定する。   FIG. 2 is an enlarged view around the pinion moving body. If the pinion 8 bends the elastic body 9, the axial movement amount of the pinion 8 until it abuts against the stopper 7b is L1. This L1 is set such that L1> L2 and / or L1> L3 with respect to the axial length L2 of the ring gear chamfer 13 and the axial length L3 of the pinion chamfer 14 described later.

図3は従来のピニオン移動体で構成された始動電動の全体図である。ピニオン移動体17は、一方向クラッチ15と、クラッチインナと一体的に構成されたピニオン16とで構成される。なお、ピニオン移動体17以外の構成部品は、図1の本発明の装置と同じ構成であるため説明を省略する。   FIG. 3 is an overall view of the starting electric motor constituted by a conventional pinion moving body. The pinion moving body 17 includes a one-way clutch 15 and a pinion 16 that is configured integrally with a clutch inner. The components other than the pinion moving body 17 have the same configuration as the apparatus of the present invention shown in FIG.

図4は、エンジンが停止中、すなわち停止中のリングギヤ12にピニオン8が噛み合う過程の状態を示す正面図と断面図である。リングギヤ12の軸方向ピニオン側端面には、ピニオン8のリングギヤ12への噛み込み性を向上させる目的でリングギヤ面取り13が設置されており、このリングギヤ面取り13の軸方向長さをL2とする。またピニオン8の軸方向リングギヤ端面には、ピニオン面取り14が設置されており、このピニオン面取り14の軸方向長さをL3とする。 FIG. 4 is a front view and a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the pinion 8 is engaged with the ring gear 12 when the engine is stopped, that is, when the engine is stopped. A ring gear chamfer 13 is installed on the end surface on the axial pinion side of the ring gear 12 for the purpose of improving the biting property of the pinion 8 into the ring gear 12, and the axial length of the ring gear chamfer 13 is L2. A pinion chamfer 14 is provided on the end surface of the pinion 8 on the axial ring gear side , and the axial length of the pinion chamfer 14 is L3.

回転停止中のリングギヤ12に対し、モータ4の回転力によりピニオン8が図中の左方向の矢印方向に回転しながらマグスッチ10の吸引力によりレバー11を介して押し出されることにより、ピニオン面取り14がリングギヤ面取り13上を滑って、ピニオン8がリングギヤ12へと噛み込む。   When the pinion 8 is pushed through the lever 11 by the suction force of the mag switch 10 while the pinion 8 is rotated in the left arrow direction in the drawing by the rotational force of the motor 4 with respect to the ring gear 12 that is stopped rotating, the pinion chamfer 14 is formed. The pinion 8 bites into the ring gear 12 by sliding on the ring gear chamfer 13.

図5は、エンジンのアイドルストップ後のエンジンの惰性回転中、すなわち惰性回転中のリングギヤ12に、従来のピニオン移動体17のピニオン16が噛み込む過程の状態を示す正面図(上段)と断面図(中段、下段)である。図5の中段は、従来構造のクラッチインナと一体的に構成されたピニオン16のリングギヤ12側端面とリングギヤ12のピニオン16側端面とが接触した状態を示している。図5の下段は、図5の中段に示した状態から、惰性回転中のリングギヤ12の回転により、ピニオン16がリンギギヤ12への噛み込みを試みた結果、ピニオン16の軸方向移動量L4がリングギヤ面取り13の軸方向長さL2やピニオン面取り14の軸方向長さL3よりも小さいため、リングギヤ面取り13とピニオン面取り14とが接触してしまい、ピニオン16のリングギヤ12への噛み込みが失敗した状態を示している。   FIG. 5 is a front view (upper stage) and a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the pinion 16 of the conventional pinion moving body 17 is engaged with the ring gear 12 during inertial rotation of the engine after idle stop of the engine, that is, inertial rotation. (Middle, lower). The middle part of FIG. 5 shows a state where the end surface on the ring gear 12 side of the pinion 16 and the end surface on the pinion 16 side of the ring gear 12 that are integrally formed with the clutch inner of the conventional structure are in contact with each other. The lower part of FIG. 5 shows the result of the pinion 16 engaging with the ring gear 12 by the rotation of the ring gear 12 during inertia rotation from the state shown in the middle part of FIG. Since the axial length L2 of the chamfer 13 and the axial length L3 of the pinion chamfer 14 are smaller, the ring gear chamfer 13 and the pinion chamfer 14 come into contact with each other, and the pinion 16 has failed to be engaged with the ring gear 12 Is shown.

図6は、エンジンのアイドルストップ後のエンジンの惰性回転中、すなわち惰性回転中のリングギヤ12に、本発明のピニオン移動体6のピニオン8が噛み込む過程の状態を示す正面図(上段)と断面図(中段、下段)である。図6の中段は、ピニオン8のリングギヤ12側端面と、リングギヤ12のピニオン8側端面同士が接触した状態を示している。図6の下段は、図6の中段に示した状態から、惰性回転中のリングギヤ12の回転により、ピニオン8がリンギギヤ12への噛み込みを試みた結果、ピニオン8の軸方向移動量L5がリングギヤ面取り13の軸方向長さL2やピニオン面取り14の軸方向長さL3よりも大きいため、お互いの面取り同士が接触することなく、ピニオン8のリングギヤ12への噛み込みが成功した状態を示している。   FIG. 6 is a front view (upper stage) and a sectional view showing a state in which the pinion 8 of the pinion moving body 6 of the present invention is engaged with the ring gear 12 during inertial rotation of the engine after idle stop of the engine, that is, inertial rotation. It is a figure (middle stage, lower stage). The middle part of FIG. 6 shows a state in which the end surface on the ring gear 12 side of the pinion 8 and the end surface on the pinion 8 side of the ring gear 12 are in contact with each other. The lower part of FIG. 6 shows the result of the pinion 8 trying to engage the ring gear 12 by the rotation of the ring gear 12 during inertial rotation from the state shown in the middle part of FIG. Since the axial length L2 of the chamfer 13 and the axial length L3 of the pinion chamfer 14 are larger, the chamfering of the pinion 8 into the ring gear 12 is successfully performed without mutual contact between the chamfers. .

図7は、従来構造のピニオン移動体17と、本発明におけるクラッチインナ7aとピニオン8とが分離した構造のピニオン移動体6において、ピニオン8の端面やピニオン16の端面と、リングギヤ12の端面とが衝突してから、エンジンの惰性回転によるリングギヤ12の回転により、お互いの端面同士の衝突からピニオン8やピニオン部8aがリングギヤ12に噛み込める状態の時のピニオン8やピニオン16の軸方向リングギヤ12側への移動量と時間を示している。従来構造のクラッチインナと一体的に構成されたピニオン16と一方向クラッチ7とで構成されたピニオン移動体17は、出力軸5とヘリカルスプライン係合されており、ピニオン移動体17が軸方向リングギヤ側へ移動する際に、ヘリカルスプライン上を滑って回転しながら移動するため、ピニオン移動体17の軸方向の移動距離L4は、ヘリカルスプラインの角度をαとすると、ヘリカルスプライン上の移動量にcosαを乗じた値となる。   FIG. 7 shows a pinion moving body 17 having a conventional structure, and a pinion moving body 6 having a structure in which the clutch inner 7a and the pinion 8 according to the present invention are separated, and the end face of the pinion 8, the end face of the pinion 16, and the end face of the ring gear 12. , The ring gear 12 is rotated by inertial rotation of the engine, and the pinion 8 and the pinion 16 are in the axial direction ring gear 12 when the pinion 8 and the pinion portion 8a are engaged with the ring gear 12 from the collision between the end faces of each other. The amount of movement to the side and the time are shown. A pinion moving body 17 constituted by a pinion 16 and a one-way clutch 7 integrally formed with a clutch inner having a conventional structure is engaged with the output shaft 5 by a helical spline, and the pinion moving body 17 is axially ring geared. When moving to the side, the movement distance L4 in the axial direction of the pinion moving body 17 is determined by the amount of movement on the helical spline when the angle of the helical spline is α. The value multiplied by.

これに対し、本発明のピニオン移動体6は、従来構造のピニオン移動体17と同じくヘリカルスプライン上を滑って回転しながら移動するため、ピニオン移動体6の軸方向の移動距離は少なくとも前述のL4である。更に、本発明のピニオン移動体6は、ピニオン8がクラッチインナ7aと分離した構造であるため、ピニオン8の端面とリングギヤ12の端面とが衝突した後は、マグスイッチ10の吸引力によりレバー11を介して、リングギヤ12の端面に衝突して軸方向リングギヤ側への動きが規制されているピニオン8を除くピニオン移動体6が、弾性体9を撓ませながら、ストッパ7bまで移動できる。したがって、ピニオン8とリングギヤ12の端面同士が衝突してから、ピニオン8の回転もしくはエンジンの惰性回転によるリングギヤ12の回転のどちらかにより、お互いの端面同士の衝突からピニオン8がリングギヤ12に噛み込める状態の時のピニオン8の軸方向リングギヤ12側への移動量L5は、従来構造のピニオン移動体17の軸方向移動量L4に、弾性体9を撓ませてストッパ7bまで軸方向に移動したピニオン8の軸方向移動量L1を加えたL4+L1となる。また、撓んでいる弾性体9の弾性反力により、ピニオン移動体6よりも大幅に軽量なピニオン8が軸方向リングギヤ12側へ移動できるため、従来構造のピニオン移動体6aの移動速度を大幅に上回る速度で、本発明のピニオン8は移動可能である。   On the other hand, since the pinion moving body 6 of the present invention moves while sliding on the helical spline like the conventional pinion moving body 17, the movement distance in the axial direction of the pinion moving body 6 is at least the aforementioned L4. It is. Furthermore, since the pinion moving body 6 of the present invention has a structure in which the pinion 8 is separated from the clutch inner 7a, after the end surface of the pinion 8 and the end surface of the ring gear 12 collide, the lever 11 is attracted by the suction force of the mag switch 10. The pinion moving body 6 excluding the pinion 8 that collides with the end face of the ring gear 12 and is restricted from moving toward the axial ring gear can move to the stopper 7b while bending the elastic body 9. Therefore, after the end surfaces of the pinion 8 and the ring gear 12 collide with each other, either the rotation of the pinion 8 or the rotation of the ring gear 12 due to the inertial rotation of the engine causes the pinion 8 to bite into the ring gear 12 from the collision between the end surfaces. The amount of movement L5 of the pinion 8 toward the axial ring gear 12 in the state is the pinion moved in the axial direction up to the stopper 7b by bending the elastic body 9 to the amount of movement L4 of the pinion moving body 17 of the conventional structure. L4 + L1 obtained by adding 8 axial movement amount L1. Further, the elastic reaction force of the elastic body 9 that is bent allows the pinion 8 that is significantly lighter than the pinion moving body 6 to move to the axial ring gear 12 side, so that the moving speed of the pinion moving body 6a having the conventional structure is greatly increased. At higher speeds, the pinion 8 of the present invention is movable.

本発明において、アイドルストップ後のエンジン惰性回転中に、エンジンを再始動させる際のエンジン始動装置の動作を説明する。   In the present invention, the operation of the engine starter when restarting the engine during engine inertia rotation after idle stop will be described.

エンジンのアイドルストップ後のエンジン惰性回転中に、例えば信号が青色に変わった場合、運転者は車両の減速中または車両が停止した状態から、ブレーキを解除しアクセルペダルを踏む動作に移行する。この動作を運転者の再始動要求と捕らえたECU(図示せず)は、エンジン始動装置1を動作させるように指示を出す。   For example, when the signal changes to blue during engine inertia rotation after the engine is idle stopped, the driver shifts to the operation of releasing the brake and stepping on the accelerator pedal from the state where the vehicle is decelerating or the vehicle is stopped. An ECU (not shown) that captures this operation as a driver's restart request issues an instruction to operate the engine starter 1.

指示を受けた制御装置(図示せず)は、マグスイッチ10に通電すべく、リレー(図示せず)を動作させる。バッテリ3からマグスイッチ10に通電されることにより発生する吸引力にて、レバー11を介してピニオン移動体6は軸方向リングギヤ12側へ移動し、リンギギヤ12のピニオン8側端面に衝突する。ピニオン8がクラッチインナ7aと分離した構造であるため、ピニオン8の端面とリングギヤ12の端面同士が衝突した後に、マグスイッチ10の吸引力によりレバーを介して、リングギヤ12の端面に衝突して軸方向リングギヤ側への動きが規制されたピニオン8を除くピニオン移動体6が、弾性体9を撓ませながら、ストッパ7bまで移動する。つぎに、ピニオン8とリングギヤ12の端面同士が衝突してから、ピニオン8の回転もしくはエンジンの惰性回転によるリングギヤ12の回転のどちらかにより、お互いの端面同士の衝突からピニオン8がリングギヤ12に噛み込める状態となった時に、ピニオン8は軸方向リングギヤ側へ更に移動してリングギヤ12への噛み込みを試みる。   Upon receiving the instruction, the control device (not shown) operates a relay (not shown) to energize the mug switch 10. The pinion moving body 6 moves to the axial ring gear 12 side via the lever 11 by the attractive force generated by energizing the mag switch 10 from the battery 3, and collides with the pinion 8 side end surface of the ring gear 12. Since the pinion 8 has a structure separated from the clutch inner 7a, after the end surface of the pinion 8 and the end surface of the ring gear 12 collide with each other, the pinion 8 collides with the end surface of the ring gear 12 via the lever by the suction force of the mag switch 10 The pinion moving body 6 excluding the pinion 8 whose movement to the direction ring gear side is restricted moves to the stopper 7b while bending the elastic body 9. Next, after the end surfaces of the pinion 8 and the ring gear 12 collide with each other, either the rotation of the pinion 8 or the rotation of the ring gear 12 due to the inertial rotation of the engine causes the pinion 8 to engage the ring gear 12 from the collision between the end surfaces. When the pinion 8 is in the retractable state, the pinion 8 further moves toward the axial ring gear side and tries to engage with the ring gear 12.

この時、ピニオン8もしくは従来構造のピニオン16がリングギヤ12への噛み込みを行うべく軸方向リングギヤ側へ移動するが、この移動量が噛み込みを成功させるか、もしくは失敗するかの重要な因子となる。   At this time, the pinion 8 or the pinion 16 having a conventional structure moves toward the axial ring gear to engage the ring gear 12, and this amount of movement is an important factor as to whether the engagement is successful or unsuccessful. Become.

すなわち、ピニオン8及びピニオン16とリングギヤ12の端面衝突状態からの回転により、端面同士が外れて噛み込むことが可能な時間内に、リングギヤ面取りの軸方向長さL2よりも、及び/またはピニオン面取り14の軸方向長さL3よりも、ピニオン8の軸方向移動距離L5が大きい場合は、ピニオン8のリングギヤ12への噛み込みは成功するが、前記と逆の場合は、リングギヤ面取り13とピニオン面取り14同士が衝突してしまい、ピニオン8のリングギヤ12へのスムーズな噛み込みが行えず、噛み込みが失敗する。   That is, the rotation of the pinion 8 and the pinion 16 and the ring gear 12 from the end surface collision state is less than the axial length L2 of the ring gear chamfering and / or the pinion chamfering within a time period during which the end surfaces can be engaged with each other. When the axial movement distance L5 of the pinion 8 is greater than the axial length L3 of the pin 14, the pinion 8 is successfully engaged with the ring gear 12, but in the opposite case, the ring gear chamfer 13 and the pinion chamfer 14 collide with each other, the smooth engagement of the pinion 8 into the ring gear 12 cannot be performed, and the engagement fails.

以上より、本発明のピニオン8の軸方向移動量L5は、従来構造のピニオン16の軸方向移動量L4に対し、ピニオン8を分離構造として弾性体9を撓ませた状態から噛み込みを開始するため、ピニオンストロークL1を加算したピニオン移動量L5(=L4+L1)となるため、従来構造のピニオン16に対して本発明の構造は、惰性回転中のリングギヤ12へのピニオン8の噛み込み性を大幅に向上することができ、エンジンの再始動要求に俊敏に対応できるエンジン始動装置を提供することができる。   As described above, the axial movement amount L5 of the pinion 8 according to the present invention starts to bite from the state in which the elastic body 9 is bent with the pinion 8 as a separation structure relative to the axial movement amount L4 of the pinion 16 having the conventional structure. Therefore, since the pinion movement amount L5 (= L4 + L1) is obtained by adding the pinion stroke L1, the structure of the present invention significantly increases the biting property of the pinion 8 into the ring gear 12 during inertial rotation compared to the conventional pinion 16. Thus, it is possible to provide an engine starter that can respond rapidly to an engine restart request.

また、撓んでいる弾性体9の弾性反力により、ピニオン移動体6よりも大幅に軽量なピニオン8が軸方向リングギヤ12側へ移動できるため、従来構造のピニオン移動体6aの移動速度を大幅に上回る速度で、本発明のピニオン8は移動可能である。   Further, the elastic reaction force of the elastic body 9 that is bent allows the pinion 8 that is significantly lighter than the pinion moving body 6 to move to the axial ring gear 12 side, so that the moving speed of the pinion moving body 6a having the conventional structure is greatly increased. At higher speeds, the pinion 8 of the present invention is movable.

この他、例えば特許文献1の技術では、ピニオン押し出しと接点開閉とを各々の電磁ソレノイドで行う必要があるため、従来のエンジン始動装置用マグネットスイッチの構造に対し複雑となり、小型軽量化や低価格化が困難となる場合がある。更に、ECUなどからエンジン始動装置を制御する際に、従来のエンジン始動装置のマグスイッチの1系統の配線とリレーに対し、ピニオン押し出し手段と接点開閉手段とを各々の電磁ソレノイドで行うために2系統の配線とリレーが必要となり、車両側でのコストアップの要因となる場合がある。   In addition, for example, in the technique of Patent Document 1, since it is necessary to perform pinion extrusion and contact opening / closing by each electromagnetic solenoid, the structure of the conventional magnet switch for an engine starter is complicated, and the size and weight are reduced and the price is low. May become difficult. Further, when controlling the engine starting device from an ECU or the like, in order to perform pinion pushing means and contact opening / closing means by each electromagnetic solenoid with respect to one wiring and relay of the mag switch of the conventional engine starting device, 2 System wiring and relays are required, which may increase costs on the vehicle side.

本発明によれば、例えば、一対の可動鉄心と固定鉄心でピニオン押し出し手段とモータへの接点開閉手段を行う従来のエンジン始動装置用マグスイッチ構造を用いて、エンジンのアイドルストップ後のエンジン惰性回転中に、ピニオンをエンジンのリングギヤに噛み込ませてモータに通電することより、廉価に、アイドルストップ後の惰性回転中のエンジンを再始動することができるエンジン始動装置を供給することもできる。   According to the present invention, for example, by using a conventional engine starter mag switch structure in which a pinion pushing means and a contact opening / closing means to a motor are paired with a pair of movable iron cores and fixed iron cores, engine inertia rotation after engine idle stop is performed. In addition, an engine starter that can restart the engine during inertial rotation after idling stop can be supplied at low cost by causing the pinion to engage with the ring gear of the engine and energizing the motor.

なお、ピニオン押し出し手段と接点開閉手段とを、各々の電磁ソレノイドで行うマグネットスイッチを採用した始動装置に、本発明のピニオン構造を用いることによっても、惰性回転中のリングギヤへのピニオンの噛み込み性を大幅に向上させることができる。   In addition, by using the pinion structure of the present invention in a starting device that employs a magnet switch in which the pinion pushing means and the contact opening / closing means are each operated by an electromagnetic solenoid, the pinion biting property to the ring gear during inertial rotation is also possible. Can be greatly improved.

なお、本発明は上記した実施例に限定されるものではなく、様々な変形例が含まれる。例えば、上記した実施例は本発明を分かりやすく説明するために詳細に説明したものであり、必ずしも説明した全ての構成を備えるものに限定されるものではない。また、実施例の構成の一部について、他の構成の追加・削除・置換をすることが可能である。   In addition, this invention is not limited to an above-described Example, Various modifications are included. For example, the above-described embodiments have been described in detail for easy understanding of the present invention, and are not necessarily limited to those having all the configurations described.
