A starter for an internal combustion engine includes a motor, a pinion gear connected to the motor to be engaged with a ring gear of the engine. The pinion gear has teeth of a negative addendum modification whose number is larger than a standard gear that has the same outside diameter. Therefore the gear ratio of the pinion gear to the ring gear can be increased without change of the outside diameter thereof.

A starter for an internal combustion engine includes a planetary gear speed reduction mechanism, a pinion and a pinion drive shaft, a motor, a front housing having a plurality of fastening holes disposed at a circumference and a center casing having approximately the same outside diameter as the motor housing. The center housing is disposed between the motor housing and the front housing to align a motor shaft, the planetary gear speed reduction mechanism and the pinion drive shaft. The diameter of the motor housing is a maximum outside diameter of the fastening bolt less than the diameter of a circumference on which the fastening bolts are formed. Therefore, fastening bolts can be easily inserted into the fastening holes.

In a starter, a motor rotation shaft and an output shaft are connected through a reduction device. The output shaft is held rotatably by a rear bearing. The bearing has a plurality of through holes between the inner surface and the outer surface. A housing of the starter has a holding part for holding the bearing. A groove is formed annularly in the inner peripheral surface of the holding part. The groove is communicated with the through holes of the bearing. A seal member is press-fit in the holding part in proximity to a pinion gear side of the bearing. The seal member prevents foreign substances from entering the bearing surface of the bearing and inhibits the flowing out of lubricant from the bearing.

A starter for an engine is equipped with a planetary gear speed reducer, a restraining mechanism, and a shock absorber which is made up of a rotary disc, a stationary disc, a case, and a load applying mechanism. The load applying mechanism applies a load to the stationary and rotary discs to develop a given degree of friction therebetween. When an excessive torque acts on the rotary disc through the internal gear, the shock absorber induces the rotary disc to rotate against the given degree of friction to absorb the torque to eliminate a physical impact to be exerted on the planetary gear speed reducer. The restraining mechanism restrains the load applying mechanism from moving in a radius direction of the internal thread to avoid undesirable engagement of the load applying mechanism with the internal thread, thereby ensuring the stability in applying the load to the stationary and rotary discs.

A starter and a method of manufacturing the starter are disclosed wherein the starter comprises a case, a housing disposed in front of the case, a pinion moving body slidably received by the case and the housing, and a lever unit having a lever, swingably supported on a lever support member, for actuating the pinion moving body to an operative position to allow a pinion to be brought into meshing engagement with a ring gear of an engine to start up the same. The lever support member is mounted on the case via a positioning mechanism composed of positioning components, formed on the lever support member, and the positioning components, formed on the case, with which the positioning components engage, respectively.

An electromagnetic switch of an engine starter includes a pair of stationary contacts connectable to a starter motor, a movable contact disposed at a first distance from the pair of stationary contacts; a rod having one end that slidably supports the movable contact via an insulating member and a stopper that restricts axial movement of said movable contact, an electromagnetic coil unit that includes a plunger, a stator core, a spring that urges the movable contact against the stopper and an exciting coil which moves the rod by the plunger a second distance when excited, and an inclination rectifying member, disposed near the stationary contacts, for providing a rectifying surface disposed at a third distance from the movable contact to abut the movable contact when one of the stationary contacts wears to a preset degree. There is the following relationship between the first, second and third distances: the second distance>the third distance>the first distance.

A starter includes a motor, an output shaft, a first spline connection member disposed between the motor and the output shaft, a pinion to be engaged with a ring gear of an engine, a second spline connection member disposed between the output shaft and the pinion, a pinion spring to apply its spring force to the pinion toward the ring gear, a lever, an electromagnetic switch to drive the output shaft toward the ring gear when the electromagnetic switch is excited and to operate the motor when the lever moves to a prescribed position, a drive spring to apply its spring force to the pinion when the electromagnetic switch drives the output shaft toward the ring gear. The first and second spline connection members rotate the pinion relative to the output shaft an angle more than a half of a pitch of the pinion when the helical connection member is driven by the electromagnetic switch toward the ring gear.

A starter for automotive engines is provided which is equipped with a planetary gear train working as a speed reducer. The starter also includes a partition plate and a thrust washer. The partition plate extends radially of the starter between an electric motor and a planetary gear train to isolate the planetary gear train from a motor chamber. The thrust washer extends radially of the starter in abutment with the partition plate so as to bear a thrust load, as transmitted from the planetary gear train. The thrust washer also includes an outer peripheral portion which is placed between a rear end surface of an internal gear of the planetary gear train and the front end surface of the partition plate and has an elastic mechanism working to elastically urge the internal gear of the planetary gear train frontward in the axial direction of the starter.
摘要:
In a starter, a one-way clutch that transmits rotation of a motor to an output shaft has a clutch inner portion. The clutch inner portion has female helical splines in an inner periphery. Also, the clutch inner portion has a stopper at a front end of the female helical splines on the side opposite to the motor. The female helical splines engage with male helical splines formed on a rear end of the output shaft so that the output shaft is slidable in an axial direction. When the male helical splines of the output shaft are brought into contact with the stopper, relative rotation of the helical splines is restricted, thereby to stop the axial movement of the output shaft.
