摘要:
A CPU confirms conditions of starter driving ports (output terminals of driver circuits) when the CPU returns from its reset condition, so as to determine an operational condition of a starter motor. When the CPU determines that the starter motor is maintained in a starter-ON condition by hardware latch circuits, the CPU changes an initialization process to an engine-start-up initialization process, according to which the starter-ON condition is continued. In the engine-start-up initialization process, the command signal from the CPU to the hardware latch circuits is initialized to the starter-ON command signal, and a software latch flag is set to an ON condition so that the operational condition of the starter motor before the reset of the CPU is determined.

A power supply device is provided for a vehicle having an idling-stop function, the power supply device including a boosting converter circuit with small loss that compensates for a voltage drop of a battery during starting of the engine and performing a protection function against a case in which the polarities of the battery are mistakenly connected in reverse. A series circuit including two MOSFETs serially connected to one another and an inductor is connected to the ends of a DC power source. A diode is connected to the connection point between the two MOSFETS serially connected to one another and the inductor, and a capacitor is connected in parallel to the two MOSFETS serially connected to one another. The two MOSFETs are serially connected such that the polarities of respective body diodes thereof are opposite to each other.

A method for controlling injection timing for a gaseous fuel injector is described. In one example, the fuel injector is opened with a saturating fuel injector at a predetermined crankshaft angular position. In one embodiment, the predetermined crankshaft angular position corresponds to at least one crankshaft angular position where battery voltage increases during engine cranking.

In a solenoid switch according to the invention, a magnetic plate is disposed on one side of a solenoid coil in an axial direction of the solenoid coil. A contact cover is arranged with the magnetic plate interposed between the contact cover and the solenoid coil in the axial direction. First and second fixed contacts are received in the contact cover and respectively electrically connected to first and second terminals that are to be electrically connected to an electric circuit. A resistor is electrically connected between the first and second terminals to limit current flowing through the electric circuit when the first and second fixed contacts are electrically disconnected by a movable contact. The resistor is received in the contact cover and interposed between the magnetic plate and the first and second fixed contacts in the axial direction.

A control circuit for a switching device with a relay and a switch. The control circuit is configured in such a way as to produce a hold signal for a predetermined period of time when a start signal is supplied thereto. The control circuit is also configured in such a way as to produce the hold signal for the predefined period of time independently of the course of the start signal during the predefined period of time. The control circuit is also configured in order to activate a switch output when at least one of two conditions is met. The switch enables the relay to be supplied with current when the switch output is activated, otherwise it prevents the relay from being supplied with current.

A voltage raising device that provisionally maintains an operation and function when there is an abnormality provided. If a battery voltage drops when an engine is restarted after an idle stop, the voltage raising device raises the output voltage to a target voltage by using a voltage detecting circuit and a current detecting circuit. If an overcurrent determining circuit detects overcurrent, a switching control circuit reduces the target voltage to perform a control. If overvoltage is output, for example, due to an increased target voltage caused by an internal setting deviation resulting from a failure, an overvoltage detecting circuit outputs a prohibition signal ENV to stop the switching operation. However, as long as the output voltage is not overvoltage, the voltage raising operation is allowed. Therefore, the possibility that the engine can be started at least once without a problem is increased.

An engine starter includes a starter motor which has an armature, a series-wound field coil and a parallel-wound field coil and a short-circuiting unit for short-circuiting the series-wound field coil under a predetermined engine starting condition. The series-wound field coil has a suitable current limiting resistance. The short-circuiting unit short-circuits the series-wound field coil after a crankshaft of an engine passes a first top dead center of an engine.

First and second switches are disposed in a housing which accommodates a magnetic switch of a starter motor. The magnetic switch is composed of a plunger and a exciting coil to drive the plunger. A movable contact of the first switch is mechanically connected to the plunger at such a space from a stationary contact of the first switch that it supplies driving current through a current limiting resistor when a pinion of the starter motor is brought in contact with a ring gear of an engine. A movable contact of the second switch is mechanically connected to to the plunger at such a space that it bypasses the current limiting resistor when the pinion is brought in mesh with the ring gear. A timer composed of a bimetal switch is provided to interrupt the driving current through the current limiting resistor if the resistor is heated at a designated temperature.

An ignition system for outdoor power equipment driven by a petrol or gasoline engine may include a safety interlock system, a starter motor, a starter solenoid having an activation coil, and a solenoid monitor. The ignition system may be configured to selectively apply power to start the engine based on application of a start attempt. The safety interlock system may be operable to actuate the starter solenoid via the activation coil to apply current to the starter motor for starting the engine during the start attempt. The solenoid monitor may be configured to determine a status of the activation coil and starter solenoid contacts and provide a fault indication based on the status determined.
