ELECTRIC STARTER FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; internal combustion engines. SUBSTANCE: electric starter has capacitor 11, external power supply connection terminals 1, starter connection output terminals 17. Low-voltage pulse capacitor of superhigh power capacity is used as energy accumulator. Capacitor is connected in parallel with output terminals 17 through normally closed contacts 12 of change-over contactor 6. Voltage booster-converter 3 is placed in charging circuit of capacitor 11. Low-voltage rectifier 2 is connected to input of converter 3. Device has also light emitting diode 13 with resistor 14 and voltage relay 8. First normally closed contacts 7 of voltage relay are connected in series with starting pushbutton 9 in working circuit of starting relay 5, and second contacts 16 of voltage relay are placed in circuit of incandescent lamp 15 connected to output terminals of device. EFFECT: improved reliability of starting of starting of internal combustion engine within wide temperature range with supply from low voltage supply source of low power capacity. 1 dwg
