[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, this utility model proposes a motorcycle starter motor, including a motor body 5, the motor body 5 having a connecting plate 6, the connecting plate 6 having connecting holes 7 along the thickness direction, the connecting holes 7 being circular holes, the number of connecting holes 7 being two, the two connecting holes 7 being symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the connecting plate 6.

[0024] like Figure 4and 5 As shown, a connector 8 is inserted into the connecting hole 7. The connector 8 includes a connecting seat 9, which is cylindrical. The connecting seat 9 is inserted into the connecting hole 7. A fixing flange 10 extends outward from the outer side wall of the connecting seat 9. The fixing flange 10 is glued to the connecting plate 6. The fixing flange 10 and the connecting plate 6 are glued together by applying glue to the contact surface. The center of the connecting seat 9 has a axial sliding groove 11, which is a circular groove and is opened along the axial direction of the connecting seat 9. The center of the end face of the connecting seat 9 has a connecting port 12, which is a circular hole. The connecting port 12 is coaxially connected to the axial sliding groove 11 and is used for the connector 3 to pass through.

[0025] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, two radial sliding grooves 13 are symmetrically formed on the groove wall of the axial sliding groove 11. The radial sliding grooves 13 are circular grooves. Two side grooves 14 are symmetrically formed on the groove wall of the axial sliding groove 11. The side grooves 14 are rectangular grooves. The two side grooves 14 are connected to the two radial sliding grooves 13 respectively. The thickness of the side grooves 14 is less than the diameter of the radial sliding grooves 13.

[0026] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, each radial sliding groove 13 is slidably provided with a radial sliding buckle 15, which is bullet-shaped and engages with the snap ring groove 4 of the connector 3. A pair of connecting plates 16 are provided on the side wall of the radial sliding buckle 15. One pair of connecting plates 16 extends into the side groove 14, and another pair of connecting plates 16 can slide within the side groove 14. An external hinge shaft 17 passes through one pair of connecting plates 16.

[0027] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, a sliding ring radial motion component is provided in the connector 9. The sliding ring radial motion component is used to drive the radial sliding ring 15 to slide radially along the radial sliding groove 13, thereby driving the radial sliding ring 15 to be inserted into or pulled out of the locking ring groove 4 of the connector 3.

[0028] The sliding contact assembly includes a pivot slide 18 and a hinged connecting rod 21.

[0029] The axial sliding table 18 is in the shape of a circular plate and slides axially along the axial sliding groove 11. Two pairs of mutually symmetrical inner plates 19 are fixedly connected to the end face of the axial sliding table 18 facing the connection port 12. Each pair of inner plates 19 includes two mutually symmetrical inner plates 19, and an inner hinge shaft 20 passes through each pair of inner plates 19.

[0030] One end of the hinged link 21 extends between the two outer plates 16 and is hinged to the radial sliding buckle 15 via the outer hinge shaft 17.

The hinge point between the hinged link 21 and the axial sliding table 18 is located inside the hinge point between the hinged link 21 and the radial sliding buckle 15.

[0031] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, a centering hole 22 is provided on the end face of the axial sliding table 18 facing the connection port 12. The centering hole 22 is a circular hole. The centering hole 22 is inserted into the connector 3, thereby playing a centering role for the connector 3, so that the radial sliding buckle 15 can be embedded in the buckle groove 4 of the connector 3.

[0032] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, a cylindrical protrusion 23 is coaxially fixed to the end face of the connecting seat 9 near the fixed flange 10. The end face of the protrusion 23 away from the connecting seat 9 is provided with a guide post hole 24 and a rotation limiting groove 25. The guide post hole 24 is a circular hole and is connected to the shaft moving groove 11. The rotation limiting groove 25 is a rectangular groove. There are two rotation limiting grooves 25. The two rotation limiting grooves 25 are symmetrically distributed on the outside of the guide post hole 24. The rotation limiting grooves 25 are not connected to the shaft moving groove 11.

[0033] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, a axially fixed sliding column 26 is coaxially connected to the end face of the axially movable slide table 18 opposite to the connection port 12. The axially movable slide column 26 extends into the guide post hole 24 and is slidably engaged with the guide post hole 24. Two rotation limiting slide bars 27 are symmetrically arranged on the cylindrical surface of the portion of the axially movable slide column 26 that extends into the guide post hole 24. The two rotation limiting slide bars 27 are respectively embedded in two rotation limiting slide grooves 25 and are slidably engaged with the rotation limiting slide grooves 25.

[0034] like Figure 4 and 5As shown, a locking hole 28 is radially formed on the outer wall of the protruding post 23. The locking hole 28 is a circular hole and communicates with the rotation limiting slide groove 25. A radial locking assembly is provided on the axial sliding post 26. When the radial sliding buckle 15 is embedded in the buckle ring groove 4 of the connector 3, the radial locking assembly can radially lock the axial sliding post 26. The radial locking assembly includes a locking buckle 30 and a radial spring 31. The rotation limiting slide 27 has a side slot 29 on its side wall facing the locking hole 28. The side slot 29 is circular. When the radial sliding buckle 15 is inserted into the buckling ring groove 4 of the connector 3, the side slot 29 is aligned with the locking hole 28. The locking buckle 30 is slidably disposed in the side slot 29. The locking buckle 30 is bullet-shaped. When the radial sliding buckle 15 is inserted into the buckling ring groove 4 of the connector 3, the head of the locking buckle 30 can be engaged in the locking hole 28. The radial spring 31 is disposed in the side slot 29. One end of the radial spring 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the side slot, and the other end is fixedly connected to the locking buckle 30. The radial spring 31 is used to push the locking buckle 30 to slide out of the side slot 29 and engage in the locking hole 28.

[0035] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, a return spring 32 is sleeved on the axial sliding column 26. One end of the return spring 32 abuts against the axial sliding table 18, and the other end abuts against the inner end wall of the axial sliding groove 11. The elastic force generated by the return spring 32 after being pressed will push the axial sliding table 18 to move closer to the connection port 12.

[0036] In this embodiment, the detailed process of fixing the motor body 5 to the mounting plate 1 via the connector 8 is as follows: The worker first aligns the connector 3 and the connector 8, then attaches the connector plate 6 of the motor body 5 to the mounting plate 1. The connector 3 passes through the connector port 12 and is inserted into the centering hole 22. The connector 3 pushes the axial sliding table 18 to slide axially away from the connector port 12. Since the hinge point of the hinge link 21 and the axial sliding table 18 is located inside the hinge point of the hinge link 21 and the radial sliding buckle 15, the hinge link 21 will drive the two radial sliding buckles 15 to embed into the buckle groove 4 of the connector 3. At the same time, the side slot 29 is aligned with the locking hole 28. The radial spring 31 pushes the locking buckle 30 to slide out of the side slot 29 and into the locking hole 28. At this time, the radial sliding buckle 15 of the connector 8 can maintain the state of radially clamping the connector 3, and the motor body 5 is fixed on the mounting plate 1.

[0037] The motorcycle starter motor is fixed to the engine mounting plate 1 via connector 8. No screwdriver or other tools are needed for disassembly and assembly. Even in the field where tools are not readily available, the motorcycle starter motor can still be disassembled and assembled, making disassembly and assembly quite convenient.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
