At the same time, the protective mounting shell effectively protects the electric start component and reduces the impact of working dust.
[0017] 2. This electric start chainsaw utilizes a clutch structure in its electric start assembly, consisting of a limit spring, connecting bearing, and mounting inner cylinder. During startup, the drive motor engages the connecting bevel gear with the drive bevel gear ring, transmitting torque through the compression of the limit spring. After the engine starts, the limit spring returns to its original elasticity, automatically disengaging the connecting bevel gear from the drive bevel gear ring. This design effectively prevents the motor from being dragged back after the engine starts, preventing the motor from burning out due to overload and significantly extending its service life.
[0018] 3. This electric start chainsaw retains the traditional chain saw's pull-cord manual start structure while adding an electric start component. The two start methods work independently and do not interfere with each other. The electric start uses a drive motor to drive a bevel gear transmission to rotate the flywheel, reducing the difficulty of starting. The manual start serves as a backup, and can still be used normally in case of electric start failure or battery depletion, ensuring the equipment's emergency capability in various scenarios.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0022] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0023] An electric start chainsaw, such as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the chain saw includes a chainsaw engine 1 and a flywheel 2. The chainsaw engine 1 is fixedly installed inside the chainsaw housing. The flywheel 2 is fixedly installed at one end of the crankshaft of the chainsaw engine 1. The flywheel 2 has an integrally formed mounting truncated cone on the side near the chainsaw engine 1. A drive bevel gear ring 5 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting truncated cone gear ring 5. An electric starter assembly is provided on one side of the drive bevel gear ring 5. The electric starter assembly is installed on one side of the chainsaw housing and drives the chainsaw engine 1 through the flywheel 2. A bearing pad ring 4 is also provided between the flywheel 2 and the housing of the chainsaw engine 1. The bearing pad ring 4 is fixedly sleeved on the crankshaft of the chainsaw engine 1 to prevent interference with the housing of the chainsaw engine 1 when the electric starter assembly starts the chainsaw engine 1.
[0024] The flywheel 2 and the electric start assembly are provided with a protective mounting shell 3. The protective mounting shell 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the chainsaw housing and connected to the start cover of the chainsaw. The protective mounting shell 3 has an integrally formed mounting cylinder for accommodating the flywheel 2. The inner cavity of the mounting cylinder passes through the protective mounting shell 3. The drawstring start structure inside the start cover is connected to the flywheel 2, which facilitates manual start of the chainsaw.
[0025] The chainsaw described in this application is a conventional chainsaw. An electric start component is added to the existing chainsaw to facilitate electric starting and reduce the difficulty of starting the chainsaw. The original drawstring start structure is retained simultaneously. The two starting methods do not interfere with each other, ensuring safety during use. This application does not fully disclose the chainsaw structure because the chainsaw is existing technology, and this application does not optimize the original structure of the chainsaw. Meanwhile, the protective mounting shell 3 added in this application mainly protects the electric start component, preventing dust generated during chainsaw operation from entering and affecting the normal use of the electric start structure. The structure of the protective mounting shell 3 shown in the attached drawings is only a schematic structure and does not represent the actual structure. It can be adjusted according to actual conditions (e.g., different models of chainsaws).
[0026] The main body of the electric starter assembly is a drive motor 8. A coupling 22 is fixedly installed at the output shaft end of the drive motor 8. A drive spindle 7 is fixedly installed at the end of the coupling 22. A connecting bevel gear 6 is fixedly installed at the end of the drive spindle 7. The connecting bevel gear 6 meshes with the drive bevel gear ring 5. The test drive bevel gear ring 5 drives the flywheel 2 to rotate.
[0027] A positioning sleeve 13 is sleeved on the outer wall of the drive spindle 7. A mounting bracket 15 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the positioning sleeve 13. The mounting bracket 15 is fixedly installed inside the chainsaw housing. A connecting cylinder is integrally formed at one end of the positioning sleeve 13 near the drive bevel ring 5. A limit ring 14 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder.
[0028] The main body of the mounting bracket 15 is a connecting arm plate, which is fixed to the chainsaw housing by bolts. Both ends of the connecting arm plate are integrally formed mounting arms. One mounting arm is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the positioning sleeve 13, and the other mounting arm is fixedly snapped into the limiting ring 14, which fully ensures the installation stability of the positioning sleeve 13. The limiting ring 14 and the connecting sleeve are set to interference fit. Under the action of a large external force, the connecting sleeve and the limiting ring 14 can rotate relative to each other, which improves the safety of the structure.
[0029] A limiting spring 16 is fixedly installed inside the positioning sleeve 13. A connecting pressure ring 17 is fixedly installed at one end of the limiting spring 16. A connecting bearing 18 is fixedly installed inside the connecting pressure ring 17. Both the limiting spring 16 and the connecting pressure ring 17 are sleeved on the outer wall of the drive spindle 7.
[0030] An inner mounting cylinder 19 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the inner ring of the connecting bearing 18. A fixing sleeve 20 is fixedly connected to the end of the inner mounting cylinder 19. A fixing connecting pin 21 is inserted into one side of the fixing sleeve 20. The fixing sleeve 20 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the drive spindle 7. The fixing connecting pin 21 passes through the drive spindle 7.
[0031] The inner cylinder 19 rotates with the drive spindle 7, and at the same time, it can drive the connecting pressure ring 17 to compress the limit spring 16, and the two movements will not interfere with each other; the compressed limit spring 16 can separate the connecting bevel gear 6 from the drive bevel gear ring 5, disengage it, and avoid the start-up chainsaw engine 1 from having an adverse effect on the drive motor 8.
[0032] A motor mounting base 9 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drive motor 8. Multiple guide slots 23 are equidistantly opened on one side of the motor mounting base 9. A linear bearing 24 is fixedly installed inside the guide slot 23. A guide slide rod 25 is slidably installed inside the linear bearing 24. One end of the multiple guide slide rods 25 is fixedly connected to a slide rod mounting bracket 26. The slide rod mounting bracket 26 is fixedly installed inside the chainsaw housing.
[0033] The linear bearing 24 enables the motor mounting base 9 to drive the drive motor 8 to slide stably back and forth along the guide slide bar 25, ensuring smooth movement and preventing obstruction. This facilitates quick adjustment of the state between the connecting bevel gear 6 and the drive bevel gear ring 5 in conjunction with the limit spring 16.
[0034] Multiple mounting pins 27 are welded at equal intervals to the tail end of the motor mounting base 9, and a mounting connecting plate 28 is fixedly mounted thereon via the mounting pins 27. A sliding push rod 10 is welded to the back of the mounting connecting plate 28. A sliding guide body 11 is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding push rod 10. The main body of the sliding guide body 11 is set as a square tube. Multiple connecting rollers are rotatably mounted at equal intervals on the top and bottom of the inner cavity of the square tube. The connecting rollers cooperate with the sliding push rod 10 to ensure the smooth sliding of the sliding push rod 10.
[0035] The sliding push rod 10 has a push mounting groove 29 at its tail end, and a mounting pin 30 is fixedly installed inside the push mounting groove 29; a sliding lever 12 is provided inside the push mounting groove 29, and a sliding pin groove 31 is provided at the bottom end of the sliding lever 12. The mounting pin 30 is slidably installed inside the sliding pin groove 31, and a rotating pin hole 32 is provided in the middle of the sliding lever 12. A control switch 33 is also installed at the top end of the sliding lever 12.
[0036] The control switch 33 is used to control the start and stop of the drive motor 8, and the sliding lever 12 is used to push the sliding push rod 10, which in turn causes the connecting bevel gear 6 and the drive bevel gear ring 5 to mesh.
[0037] The protective mounting shell 3 has a guide body bracket 34 fixedly connected inside its tail end. The sliding guide body 11 is fixedly installed inside the guide body bracket 34. The top of the protective mounting shell 3 has a lever mounting groove 35. The top of the two side walls of the lever mounting groove 35 are fixedly connected to a positioning arm 36. The positioning arm 36 has a rotating pin 37 fixedly installed inside its interior. The rotating pin 37 is installed inside the rotating pin hole 32. The sliding lever 12 deflects about the axis of the rotating pin 37. The top of the sliding lever 12 is covered with a protective mounting cover 38. The protective mounting cover 38 is rotatably connected to the protective mounting shell 3 to protect the sliding lever 12 and prevent accidental contact.
[0038] An electrical connector 39 is fixedly installed inside the tail end of the protective mounting shell 3. A battery mounting slot is provided on one side of the electrical connector 39. A battery module 40 is fixedly installed inside the battery mounting slot. The opening of the battery mounting slot passes through the shell of the protective mounting shell 3 and is covered with a rubber cover 41. The rubber cover 41 is used to seal the opening of the battery mounting slot and protect the battery module 40.
[0039] The battery module 40 is a lithium battery. Positive and negative terminals are installed on the electrical connector 39. One end of the positive and negative terminals is connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery module 40, and the other end is connected through a wire. The drive motor 8 and the control switch 33 are connected in series on the wire. The control switch 33 is a push-button type. When pressed, the drive motor 8 is powered on. When released, the drive motor 8 is de-powered.
[0040] When using this device, first assemble the electric start assembly as described above and install it on the chainsaw; open the choke (cold start), then open the protective mounting cover 38, grasp the upper part of the sliding lever 12 and deflect it backward. The lower part of the sliding lever 12 pushes the sliding push rod 10 through the mounting pin 30. Under the action of the sliding guide 11, the sliding push rod 10 moves linearly and pushes the motor mounting seat 9. With the cooperation of the linear bearing 24 and the guide slide rod 25, the motor mounting seat 9 pushes the drive motor 8 and the drive spindle 7. The drive spindle 7 causes the connecting pressure ring 17 to compress the limit spring 16 and drive the connecting bevel gear 6 to move closer to the drive bevel gear ring 5 until the connecting bevel gear 6 and the drive bevel gear ring 5 are tightly engaged (the sliding lever 12 can no longer deflect). Then press the control switch 33. When the drive motor 8 is powered on, it drives the connecting bevel gear 6 to rotate at high speed via the drive spindle 7. The connecting bevel gear 6 meshes with the drive spindle 7, which in turn drives the flywheel 2 to rotate. The flywheel 2 drives the crankshaft of the chainsaw engine 1 to rotate, which in turn causes the piston to move. Other parts of the chainsaw work in coordination. When the chainsaw engine 1 starts, the control switch 33 and the sliding lever 12 are released. Under the elastic force of the limit spring 16, the drive bevel ring 5 and the connecting bevel gear 6 separate, and the electric start assembly returns to its initial state (in the initial state, the drive bevel ring 5 and the connecting bevel gear 6 are in a slightly compressed state. When the limit spring 16 returns to its initial state, it is still in a compressed state and will not produce elastic vibration, thus improving the safety of the electric start assembly). The electric start of the chainsaw engine 1 is completed.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
