Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive starter technology, and in particular to an integrated automotive starter switch cover. Background Technology
[0002] An integrated car starter is a car starting device with an integrated design designed to simplify installation, improve reliability, and optimize overall performance. It typically integrates traditional discrete components (such as motors, reducers, electromagnetic switches, etc.) into a compact unit, reducing connection points and interfaces between components, thereby improving the reliability and durability of the system.
[0003] While existing integrated automotive starters have significant advantages in terms of structural integration, protection performance, and ease of installation, their integrated design also presents certain limitations in practical use. In particular, when equipment malfunctions or requires regular maintenance, traditional integrated starters typically employ a fixed or bolted housing structure, which makes it inconvenient to open the switch cover and restricts operating space, posing considerable difficulties for maintenance personnel.
[0004] To address the existing problems, there is a need for an integrated automotive starter switch cover that is easy to inspect and maintain. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the disadvantage of traditional integrated car starter motors being more troublesome to repair, this utility model provides an integrated car starter motor switch cover.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is: an integrated automotive starter switch cover, comprising an automotive starter housing, a mounting plate, a rotating shaft, a switch cover, a connecting block, a connecting plate, a sliding rod, a wedge block, a spring, a temperature sensor, and a humidity sensor. The mounting plates are symmetrically mounted on the automotive starter housing, and a rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the two mounting plates. The switch cover is connected to the rotating shaft and is in contact with the automotive starter housing. Connecting blocks are symmetrically connected on the switch cover, and connecting plates are symmetrically connected on the automotive starter housing. Sliding rods are symmetrically slidably connected to both connecting plates, and a wedge block is connected between the outer ends of every two adjacent sliding rods. Two wedge blocks are in contact with corresponding connecting blocks, and springs are symmetrically connected between the two wedge blocks and corresponding connecting plates. A temperature sensor is mounted on the rear left side of the switch cover, and a humidity sensor is mounted on the front left side of the switch cover.
[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a heat-conducting plate, mounting blocks, heat-conducting blocks and heat sinks. The heat-conducting plate is embedded in the middle of the switch cover. Multiple mounting blocks are evenly spaced on the right side of the heat-conducting plate. A heat-conducting block is installed on the mounting block in the middle. A heat sink is connected to the left side of the heat-conducting plate.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a pull rod, with a pull rod connected between the inner ends of each pair of adjacent sliding rods.
[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a sealing strip, which is attached to the switch cover.
[0010] Furthermore, each mounting block has mounting holes symmetrically arranged on its top and bottom.
[0011] Furthermore, the inclined plane angles of the connecting block and the wedge block are consistent.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. By setting a rotatable switch cover and a linkage locking mechanism (including a sliding rod, a wedge block, a connecting block and a spring assembly), the switch cover can be opened and closed quickly. The internal components can be maintained without disassembling the overall shell, which greatly improves the maintainability and ease of use of the equipment. At the same time, the introduction of temperature and humidity sensors further enhances the ability to perceive changes in the external environment, making it easier to remotely monitor the operating status of the equipment and prevent potential failures.
[0013] 2. By integrating a heat-conducting plate, heat-conducting block, and heat sink inside the switch cover, the heat generated during starter operation can be efficiently conducted to the outside, significantly improving its heat dissipation efficiency and avoiding aging or performance degradation of electrical components due to local overheating.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] Example: An integrated automotive starter switch cover, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the device includes a car starter housing 1, mounting plate 2, rotating shaft 3, switch cover 4, connecting block 5, connecting plate 6, sliding rod 7, wedge block 8, spring 9, temperature sensor 10, humidity sensor 11, heat-conducting plate 12, mounting block 13, heat-conducting block 14, heat sink 15, pull rod 16, and sealing strip 17. This serves as the external protective housing for the starter, housing and protecting the internal electrical and mechanical components, preventing dust, moisture, and other external factors from affecting the device's operation. Mounting plates 2 are symmetrically mounted on the front and rear of the car starter housing 1. A rotating shaft 3 rotatably connects the two mounting plates 2, and a switch cover 4 is connected to the rotating shaft 3. The switch cover 4 is connected to the car starter... The starter motor housing 1 is fitted with a contact cover, covering and sealing the opening of the starter motor housing 1 to prevent dust and moisture from entering. Connecting blocks 5 are symmetrically connected to the front and rear of the switch cover 4. Connecting plates 6 are symmetrically connected to the front and rear of the starter motor housing 1. Sliding rods 7 are symmetrically slidably connected to both connecting plates 6. A wedge block 8 is connected between the outer ends of every two adjacent sliding rods 7. The two wedge blocks 8 engage with the corresponding connecting blocks 5. The inclined angles of the connecting blocks 5 and the wedge blocks 8 are consistent. Sliding allows for the limiting and releasing of the switch cover 4, serving as a key locking element when the switch cover is closed. The two wedge blocks 8 are symmetrically connected to the corresponding connecting plates 6. A spring 9 is symmetrically connected to the switch cover 4. A temperature sensor 10 is installed on the switch cover 4 to monitor the internal ambient temperature of the starter in real time. When the temperature rises abnormally, an alarm or heat dissipation mechanism can be triggered to ensure the safe operation of the equipment. A humidity sensor 11 is installed on the switch cover 4 to measure the humidity change inside the starter housing, preventing electrical short circuits or corrosion of metal parts due to excessive humidity, and improving the reliability of the equipment. A heat-conducting plate 12 is embedded in the middle of the switch cover 4 as a heat conduction medium, guiding the heat inside the starter to the external heat sink 15, improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency. Multiple mounting blocks 13 are evenly spaced on the right side of the heat-conducting plate 12, and each mounting block 13 is symmetrically arranged vertically. The device has mounting holes for easy installation of the heat-conducting block 14. The heat-conducting block 14 is installed on the mounting block 13 in the middle, which fits the heat-generating area of the starter motor, absorbs and conducts heat to the heat-conducting plate, further improving heat dissipation efficiency and preventing local overheating. The heat sink 15 is connected to the left side of the heat-conducting plate 12, which accelerates heat dissipation by increasing the surface area and effectively improves the overall heat dissipation performance of the starter motor. A pull rod 16 is connected between the inner ends of each pair of adjacent sliding rods 7, which facilitates the simultaneous pulling of the sliding rods 7 and the wedge block 8 during manual operation. A sealing strip 17 is connected to the switch cover 4 to enhance the sealing performance between the switch cover 4 and the outer shell, prevent dust and moisture from entering, and improve the protection level.
[0022] When it is necessary to enhance the heat dissipation effect of the car starter, the operator first pulls the two pull rods 16 inward, causing the sliding rod 7 and wedge block 8 connected to them to move synchronously, compressing the springs 9 on both sides. At this time, the wedge block 8 no longer limits the connecting block 5 on the switch cover 4, and the switch cover 4 can be rotated open. After the switch cover 4 is fully opened, the operator can release the pull rods 16, and the spring 9 will return the sliding rod 7, wedge block 8 and pull rod 16 to their initial positions. Then, install the heat-conducting block 14 of a suitable shape between the multiple mounting blocks 13. After the installation is completed, rotate the switch cover 4 to close it again. During the reset process of the switch cover 4, the connecting block 5 on it will squeeze the wedge block 8, pushing the sliding rod 7 and pull rod 16 inward, and the spring 9 will be compressed again. When the switch cover 4 is fully closed, the connecting block 5 is no longer in contact with the wedge block 8, and the spring 9 pushes the sliding rod 7 and wedge block 8 to reset, so that they re-fit the connecting block 5, achieving stable limiting and fixing of the switch cover 4. At this time, the heat-conducting block 14 installed on the mounting block 13 will be closed. The heat-conducting block 14 between the three is tightly fitted to the heat-generating parts inside the car starter, effectively absorbing the heat generated during operation and transferring it to the heat-conducting plate 12 through the mounting block 13, and finally to the heat sink 15 on the left side, thereby significantly improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the entire starter. In addition, the switch cover 4 integrates a temperature sensor 10 and a humidity sensor 11, which can monitor the temperature and humidity changes inside the housing in real time during equipment operation, making it convenient for staff to remotely monitor the equipment's operating status, detect abnormalities in a timely manner, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the equipment. When the starter needs to be repaired, the operation procedure is the same as above: manually pull the pull rod 16 to release the limit, rotate to open the switch cover 4, and maintenance work can be carried out. The whole process is simple to operate and the structure is reliable, greatly improving the maintainability and ease of use of the equipment.

These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can conceive of other specific embodiments of the present invention without creative effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
