[Problem] To start an engine quickly by replying an opening of a throttle valve. [Means for Resolution] It is determined whether an engine speed at the moment of opening a throttle valve has inertia suited to restart an engine by a normal revolution priority speed. When the engine speed is higher than the normal revolution priority speed, an engine is restarted by immediately revolving a starter motor in a normal direction. When the engine speed is lower than the normal revolution priority speed, an engine is stopped completely, positioning a crankshaft to a restarting position, thereafter again the engine is restarted. In this case, when the engine speed is lowered to a certain degree, the engine is stopped rather in an early stage by braking the engine. The normal revolution priority speed is set depending upon a crank angle.

In a system, an angle sensor outputs a pulse each time an output shaft of an internal combustion engine rotates by a preset angle, and a calculator calculates speed-change information indicative of a change in a speed of rotation of the output shaft based on the pulses outputted from the angle sensor. A determiner determines, based on the speed-change information, whether at least one of the pulses outputted from the angle sensor represents a proper timing for a preset of a pinion of a starter with a ring gear mounted on the output shaft. A pinion engaging unit shifts the pinion toward the ring gear so that the pinion is engaged with the ring gear when it is determined that the at least one of the pulses outputted from the angle sensor represents the proper timing for the preset of the pinion with the ring gear.

When a first automatic stopping condition is established while a vehicle (1A, 1B) is stationary or a second automatic stopping condition is established during travel, an internal combustion engine (2) of the vehicle is automatically stopped. The first automatic stopping condition is established when a battery voltage or a battery state of charge of a battery (21) equals or exceeds a first threshold, and the second automatic stopping condition is established when the battery voltage or the battery state of charge of the battery (21) equals or exceeds a second threshold. By setting the second threshold to be greater than the first threshold, opportunities for automatically stopping the internal combustion engine (2) are secured while satisfying a power requirement of an electrical load (26, 27) during restarting of the internal combustion engine (2).

An engine control unit includes: a restart controller (25) to perform a first restart control if the number (Ne) of engine revolutions is larger than a first number (Ne P1 ), the first restart control restarting an engine (2) by the actuation of an injector (2a) without the actuation of a starter (3), and to keep the injector (2a) inactive until the number (Ne) decreases to a second number (Ne P2 ) and then perform a second restart control, if the number (Ne) is equal to or smaller than the first number (Ne P1 ) in response to the restart requirement, the second restart control restarting the engine (2) by the actuation of both the starter (3) and the injector (2a); and a failure mode controller (27) to keep the injector (2a) inactive until the number (Ne) decreases to the second number (Ne P2 ) and then perform the second restart control, if a failure determiner (27a) determines the failure.

The present invention relates to a starter for an internal combustion engine, comprising a starter motor (1) whose output shalt (17) is rotated by current supplied; a torque transmission member (2) with a pinion (22) for transmitting torque from an output shaft (17) of the starter motor (1) to a ring gear (6) of the engine, and which is capable of transmitting and interrupting the torque by moving the pinion (22) so as to mesh with and disengage from the ring gear (6) ; an electromagnetic actuator (3) for moving the torque transmission member (2) to a place where the pinion (22) meshes with the ring gear (6) when current is supplied; a disengaging mechanism (4) for applying a driving force to the torque transmission member (2) so that the torque transmission member (2) moves to a place where the pinion (22) is disengaged from the ring gear (6) when the number of revolutions of the ring gear (6) exceeds that of the torque transmission member (2); the torque transmission member (2) is configured to slide on the output shaft of the starter motor (1); the torque transmission member (2) is comprised of: the pinion (22) mounted around an outer periphery of the output shaft (17) of the starter motor (1) ; a sleeve (21) mounted around the outer periphery of the output shaft (17) so as to be able to move in an axial direction while rotating together with the output shaft (17); and a one way clutch which is interposed between the sleeve (21) and the pinion (22) to transmit the torque only in a one-way rotational direction from the sleeve (21) to the pinion (22), and the torque transmission member (2) also transmits rotation from the pinion (22) to the sleeve (21) by sliding resistance in the one-way clutch; a first helical spline (112) is formed on the outer periphery of the output shaft (17) of the starter motor (1), a second helical spline (24) is formed on the inner periphery of the torque transmission member (2), and a helical spline engagement part is constituted by the first helical spline (112) and the second helical spline (24).
摘要:
A starter is supplied with current for a certain current feed duration during meshing of a starter pinion of the starter with a coasting internal combustion engine. The current feed is shut down after reaching the certain current feed duration and an induced voltage is measured. The measured induced voltage is compared with a reference voltage and the current feed duration for a subsequent current feed is set as a function of the comparison result.
