engine starter

Abstract

An engine starting device comprising: a generator motor connected to a crankshaft of an engine; a starter configured to engage a pinion gear with a ring gear provided on the crankshaft when the engine is started; The judging section judges whether the engine has been started, and when the engine starts to start, the engine is cranked by any one of the generator motor and the starter, and when a set time has elapsed from the start of the engine, it is judged by the judging section that it is When the engine is not started, the engine is combined cranked by both the generator motor and the starter.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an engine starting device. The engine starting device includes: a generator motor connected to the crankshaft of the engine; The starting device starts at least one of the generator motor and the starter to crank the engine. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is known a vehicle that performs automatic engine stop and restart control. The vehicle is equipped with a generator motor and a starter that crank the engine when the engine is started. In the above-mentioned engine automatic stop and restart control, When the engine stop condition is met, the engine is automatically stopped, and then, when the restart condition is met, the engine is restarted. [0003] In the above-mentioned vehicle, the generator motor and the starter are separately used, or the generator motor and the starter are used in combination, depending on the situation, to start the engine during cranking when the engine is started. ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0017] Therefore, it is necessary to determine the method of starting the control before the engine is restarted, and a sensor for detecting water temperature, etc. as a determination means is required, and there is a problem that the engine starting device is complicated and expensive.
