Problems solved by technology

Due to this inrush current, the output voltage of the battery will drop, and electrical equipment such as audio and navigation systems mounted in the vehicle will be interrupted momentarily.
[0004] In particular, in vehicles equipped with automatic engine stop / start systems (so-called idle stop systems) that have been widely used in recent years due to increased awareness of environmental issues and restrictions on automobile exhaust, each time the engine stops When restarting, there may be a momentary interruption of electrical equipment

Abstract

The objective of the present invention is to implement an engine startup device with which a temporary interruption of electrical devices upon engine startup can be suppressed without requiring a battery status detection circuit to be provided in the vehicle. When the engine startup operation begins, a start switch (108) is closed, and current flows from a battery (110) to the engine startup device. At this time, a short-circuit switch (104) is open, so current flows to a starter motor (100) through a starting resistor (102). When the voltage between the starting resistor (102) and the starter motor (100) meets a predetermined criterion, a voltage determination device (106) places the short-circuit switch (104) in the short-circuited state. At this time the starter motor (100) is rotating and is generating back electromotive force, so the current flowing to the starter motor (100) is suppressed and the voltage drop in the battery (110) is sufficiently small, so a temporary interruption of the operation of the electrical devices installed in the vehicle does not occur. When a vehicle control device determines that the engine has started, the start switch (108) is opened and the supply of electricity to the engine startup device is stopped.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to engine starting devices. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in a vehicle engine such as a vehicle equipped with a gasoline engine, a starter motor is provided as an engine starter for rotating the crankshaft of the engine at a predetermined speed or higher when starting the engine. [0003] Immediately after starting the engine by the starter motor, the starter motor does not rotate, and therefore no counter electromotive force is generated, so a large current called an inrush current flows through the starter motor. The output voltage of the battery drops due to the inrush current, and electrical equipment such as audio and navigation systems installed in the vehicle is momentarily interrupted. [0004] In particular, in vehicles equipped with automatic engine stop / start systems (so-called idle stop systems) that have been widely used in recent years due to increased awareness of environmental issues and re...
