Pulley for alternator

a technology for pulling a pulley and an alternator, which is applied in the direction of gearing, gearing elements, hoisting equipment, etc., can solve the problems of affecting the slackness of the other side of the belt wound on the pulley, and the inability to stabilize, so as to improve the axial positioning of the torque spring and control the free length of the torque spring more precisely.

Benefits of technology

This design stabilizes belt tension, reduces slip, and maintains synchronous rotation, effectively addressing the issues of waveform fluctuations and centrifugal forces, enhancing alternator performance and reliability.

Problems solved by technology

However, in conventional alternator design, when an engine starts, or accelerates or decelerates quickly in an instant, a waveform changes significantly at the moment the generator charges a battery, and it cannot be stabilized.
In addition, one side of the belt wound on the pulley is tight, and the other side thereof is slack.
However, when a rotation speed at which the engine transmits power changes suddenly, because the pulley of the generator is locked by a nut and the belt is made of a flexible material and cannot reflect the rotation speed immediately, a slip is easily caused between the belt and the pulley.
The value of the centrifugal force changes with the rotation speed, and therefore the belt is often affected by adverse factors of an internal micro tension, which pulls the belt, and external large-amplitude shaking.

Embodiment Construction

[0091]The following embodiments describe the present invention in further detail. The embodiments are merely used to describe the present invention and illustrate the advantages of specific embodiments of the present invention, but it does not mean that the present invention is limited to such implementations.

[0092]FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are respectively a three-dimensional exploded view and a sectional assembled view of a pulley for an alternator according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a pulley 10 for an alternator according to the present invention mainly includes an outer wheel 110, a clutch wheel 120, a hollow connecting shaft 130, a hollow core shaft 140, an elastic element 150, and a tight-fit component 160. The outer wheel 110 is a wheel-shaped member provided with an axle hole 111 at the center, and is provided with a belt groove 112 on an outer circumferential wall surface thereof and a step portion 113 on an inner circumferential wall surface thereof....

Abstract

The present invention relates to a pulley for an alternator, and in particular, to a pulley applicable to an automotive alternator. The pulley effectively mitigates the problem that a belt and a tension pulley of an alternator vibrate because a rotation speed of a vehicle engine changes, thereby improving the overall operating efficiency of the alternator and the service life of the working belt and the tension pulley.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority from Taiwan patent application TW 103 124 194, filed Jul. 14, 2014, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a pulley for an alternator, and in particular, to a pulley for an automotive alternator.[0003]An alternator is a type of generator that can produce an alternating current by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. An automotive alternator converts mechanical energy of an engine into electrical energy to charge a battery, so as to supply electrical power to other electrical appliances on the automobile, and start a motor to rotate the engine.[0004]An alternator generally has an annular stator and a rotor received in the annular stator. A wire is wound on the stator, and the rotor rotates rapidly in the stator so that the wire moves relative to a magnetic field generated by the rotor, and an...
