PREFERABLE EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

[0060] Hereinafter, the structural principle and working principle of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] The present invention provides a hybrid excitation starter for an internal combustion engine, which adopts two magnetic sources consisting of an electrical excitation structure and a permanent magnet structure. In no-load condition that a driving gear of the starter is not engaged into a flywheel ring gear, since current supplied to a stator winding of the electrical excitation structure is small, an air-gap magnetic flux density generated by the electrical excitation structure is low, which has a relatively slight impact on the no-load speed. The magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet structure plays a major role. That is, a relatively high air-gap magnetic flux density is generated by the magnetic field of the permanent magnet to effectively decrease the no-load speed. In load condition that the driving gear of the starter is engaged into the flywheel ring gear and drives the engine, with increase of the load, the current supplied to the stator winding of the electrical excitation structure increases. In this case, the magnetic field generated by the stator winding of the electrical excitation structure plays a major role in the starter. To realize the ideal no-load speed, the permanent magnets with a corresponding magnetic flux are provided to effectively control and adjust the no-load speed. As the no-load speed is able to be controlled without adjustment of number of turns, resistance and the like of the electrically excited stator winding, and the method of controlling the no-load speed by means of the magnetic field of the permanent magnet almost has no interaction on the load condition. The load characteristics are mainly controlled by electrical excitation. The parameters of the excitation coil winding 3 are adjusted independently and separately to adjust and optimize the speed characteristic and the torque characteristic of the starter in load condition, without interaction and constraint by the no-load speed. For instance, the number of turns and cross-sectional area of the excitation coil winding 3 are adjusted to change an internal resistance of the hybrid excitation starter, thus adjusting the exciting current, the magnetic potential and the air-gap magnetic flux; the exciting current is used to adjust the torque characteristic of the hybrid excitation starter in load operation; the magnetic potential and the air-gap magnetic flux are used to adjust the speed characteristic and the like of the hybrid excitation starter in load operation, so it is possible to independently and separately control the no-load characteristics as well as the speed characteristic and the torque characteristic of the load characteristics of the starter.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 2, which is a structural diagram of embodiment one of the present invention. The hybrid excitation starter for the internal combustion engine provided by the present invention, which is suitable for both a brushed starter and a brushless starter, comprises a machine housing 1, an armature 5, and an electrical excitation structure and a permanent magnet structure provided in the machine housing 1. The armature 5 and the machine housing 1 are coaxially arranged. The electrical excitation structure comprises a plurality of electrical excitation magnetic poles 2 and excitation coil windings 3, the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2 are uniformly mounted on the machine housing 1 corresponding to the armature 5, and air gaps δ are formed between the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2 and the armature 5. Each of the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2 is provided with the excitation coil windings 3. The permanent magnet structure includes a plurality of permanent magnet magnetic poles 6, and the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 are provided corresponding to the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2 respectively, and are mounted on the machine housing 1 or the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2 respectively, and one or more permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 may be mounted on each electrical excitation magnetic pole 2 respectively; the magnetic potential formed by coupling of the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2 and the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 together forms a closed magnetic flux linkage by means of the machine housing 1, the armature 5 and the air gaps δ, and the parameters of the excitation coil windings 3 are independently adjusted to control the speed characteristic and the torque characteristic of the starter in no-load and/or load condition.

[0063] The magnetic fields of the electrical excitation structure and the permanent magnet structure are directly coupled or coupled through a magnetic conductive bridge. The direct coupling is shown in FIGS. 2-7. According to different coupling methods of the permanent magnet magnetic circuits and the electrical excitation magnetic circuits, magnetic circuits may be connected in series or in parallel. The cross-section of the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 may be cylindrical, bar-shaped, rectangular, polygonal or special-shaped; each individual stator coil is connected in series or parallel to form the excitation coil windings 3, the excitation coil windings 3 are mounted on the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2, and the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2 are screwed or riveted on the machine housing 1 by means of magnetic pole screws 4. The electrical excitation magnetic poles 2 may be cold drawn or hot forged from mild steel and is screwed or riveted on the machine housing 1 by means of the magnetic pole screws 4. The permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 may be directly mounted on the machine housing 1 (as shown in FIG. 3) or directly mounted on the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2 (as shown in FIGS. 2, 4-7) or mounted on the machine housing 1 by means of the magnetic conductive bridge (not shown), and the air gaps δ are formed between the armature 5 and the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2. For normal startup, the electrical excitation is used to drive the internal combustion engine to work. The no-load speed controlled by the permanent magnet excitation is only the preparation before the driving gear of the starter engages into the flywheel ring gear of the engine.

[0064] In the hybrid excitation starter for the internal combustion engine, the permanent magnet magnetic circuits may be in tangential (circumferential) coupling or normal (radial) coupling according to different coupling directions of the permanent magnet magnetic circuits and electrical excitation magnetic circuits. In the embodiment one, the magnetic circuits of the electrical excitation structure and the permanent magnet structure are coupled in the direction of tangential coupling of the permanent magnet magnetic circuits, the plurality of permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 are uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction of the armature 5, each of the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 is mounted between the adjacent electrical excitation magnetic poles 2 respectively and connected thereto, and the magnetic circuits of the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 are connected in parallel with the magnetic circuits of the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2.

[0065] Referring to FIG. 3, which is a structural diagram of embodiment two of the present invention. In the embodiment, the magnetic circuits of the electrical excitation structure and the permanent magnet structure are coupled in the direction of tangential coupling of the permanent magnet magnetic circuits, the plurality of permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 are uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction of the armature 5 and mounted on the machine housing 1 between the adjacent electrical excitation magnetic poles 2, and the magnetic circuits of the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 are connected in parallel with the magnetic circuits of the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2.

[0066] Referring to FIG. 4, which is a structural diagram of embodiment three of the present invention. In the embodiment, the magnetic circuits of the electrical excitation structure and the permanent magnet structure are coupled in the direction of normal coupling of the permanent magnet magnetic circuits, and the plurality of permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 are arranged in the radial direction of the armature 5 respectively. One permanent magnet magnetic pole 6 is mounted on each of the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2 correspondingly, and the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 are located on the center lines of the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2 and connected in series with the magnetic circuits of the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2. As shown in FIG. 4, the bar-shaped permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 are mounted on the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2, and the magnetic fields respectively generated by the excitation coil windings 3 and the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 are coupled in series on the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2 of the stator, forming the closed magnetic flux linkage from the N pole, the air gap δ, the armature 5, the air gap δ through to the S pole, and then returning to the N pole through the machine housing 1. In no-load condition, as the exciting current in the excitation coil windings 3 is small, the magnetic potential generated by the excitation coil windings 3 on the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2 is low and the magnetic flux is low. In this case, the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 play a major role. The magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 has a relatively high air-gap magnetic flux in the air gaps δ, and the armature 5 may remarkably decrease the no-load speed under the action of the magnetic flux.

[0067] In embodiment three, after implementation of the technical solution as shown in FIG. 4, the experimental test results are shown in FIG. 8. In FIG. 8, the no-load speed of the electrical excitation starter in the prior art, which is 5645 RPM, is shown on the left, and the no-load speed of the hybrid excitation starter for the internal combustion engine of the present invention, which is 4793 RPM, is shown on the right, indicating that the no-load speed of the present invention is decreased by about 15%. In load condition, with increase of the load, the exciting current in the excitation coil windings 3 increases, and the electrical excitation structure plays a major role. The excitation coil windings 3 generate the magnetic field on the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2. Compared with the magnetic field generated by the electrical excitation, the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 only play a supporting role. Therefore, without changing the electromagnetic parameters of the excitation coil windings 3, load characteristics of the hybrid excitation starter such as the load speed and the load torque have no significant difference from that of the electrical excitation starter in the prior art.

[0068] In embodiment three, after implementation of the technical solution as shown in FIG. 4, the experimental test results are shown in FIG. 9. Compared with the electrical excitation starter in the prior art, load characteristics of the hybrid excitation starter for the internal combustion engine such as the load speed, the load torque, and the power have no significant change, and corresponding curves almost coincide with each other. To adjust and optimize the load characteristics of the hybrid excitation starter for the internal combustion engine such as load speed, the load torque, etc., it can be achieved by adjustment of the electromagnetic parameters of the excitation coil windings 3, without any interaction on the no-load speed.

[0069] In embodiment three, after implementation of the technical solution as shown in FIG. 4, the experimental test results are shown in FIG. 10. An oscilloscope shows that after the hybrid excitation starter is powered off, the armature 5 continuously rotating for 1-2 seconds due to inertial force till complete stop, during which a tail voltage of up to 5 V is induced in the armature 5 due to the permanent magnetic field of the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6, and the tail voltage will decrease to 0 V with the stop of the armature 5. As shown in FIG. 11, the tail voltage is applied to a terminal 30b of the hybrid excitation starter, and the induced current Iaf flows through two coils connected in series by means of the electromagnetic switch 100, as indicated by the arrow. The two coils connected in series are opposite in winding direction while the currents flow through them are in the same direction, so that an unbalanced electromagnetic force in the two coils will not cause the electromagnetic switch to close again after power off. In addition, the duration of 1-2 seconds is short and the induced current Iaf flows through the two coils at the voltage of up to 5 V is small, which will not result in burnout of the two coils.

[0070] Referring to FIG. 5, which is a structural diagram of embodiment four of the present invention. In the embodiment, the magnetic circuits of the electrical excitation structure and the permanent magnet structure are coupled in the direction of normal coupling of the permanent magnet magnetic circuits, the plurality of permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 are arranged in the radial direction of the armature 5 respectively. Each of the permanent magnet magnetic pole 6 is connected to the corresponding electrical excitation magnetic pole 2 and the machine housing 1, and the magnetic circuits of the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 are connected in parallel with the magnetic circuits of the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2.

[0071] Referring to FIG. 6, which is a structural diagram of embodiment five of the present invention. In the embodiment, the magnetic circuits of the electrical excitation structure and the permanent magnet structure are coupled in the direction of normal coupling of the permanent magnet magnetic circuits, the plurality of groups of permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 are arranged in the radial direction of the armature 5 respectively. One group of the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 is mounted on each of the electrical excitation magnetic pole 2 correspondingly, and each group of the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 comprises a plurality of permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 mounted on the electrical excitation magnetic pole 2 respectively. Each group of the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 is symmetrically arranged in a V shape or parallel to each other with respect to the center lines of the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2, and the magnetic circuits of the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 are connected in series with the magnetic circuits of the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2.

In the embodiment, the magnetic circuits of the electrical excitation structure and the permanent magnet structure are coupled in the direction of normal coupling of the permanent magnet magnetic circuits, the plurality of groups of permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 are arranged in the radial direction of the armature 5 respectively. Each group of the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 is connected to the corresponding electrical excitation magnetic pole 2 and the machine housing 1, a plurality of permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 are mounted on the electrical excitation magnetic pole 2 respectively and each group of the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 is symmetrically arranged in the V shape or parallel to each other with respect to the center lines of the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2. The magnetic circuits of the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 are connected in parallel or series with the magnetic circuits of the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2.

[0073] Among the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention, the hybrid excitation starter for the internal combustion engine forms a variety of technical solutions depending on the different mounting position of the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 corresponding to the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2, the different mechanical connection methods between the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6 and the electrical excitation magnetic poles 2 or machine housing 1, and the different shape of the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6.

[0074] According to the present invention, the no-load speed is effectively adjusted to an ideal result by the magnetic field generated by presetting the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6. As the load characteristics are mainly controlled by the electrical excitation, the parameters of the excitation coil windings 3 can be adjusted independently and separately to adjust and optimize the speed characteristic and the torque characteristic of the starter in load condition, without interaction and constraint by the no-load speed.

[0078] c) the no-load speed mainly depends on the strength of the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet magnetic poles 6, and the load characteristics mainly depend on the strength of the magnetic field generated by the electrical excitation; the present invention may independently and separately adjust the speed characteristic and the torque characteristic of the hybrid excitation starter in load condition; for instance, the number of turns and cross-sectional area of the excitation coil windings 3 are adjusted to change the internal resistance of the hybrid excitation starter, thus adjusting the exciting current, the magnetic potential and the air-gap magnetic flux; the exciting current is used to adjust the torque characteristic of the hybrid excitation starter in load operation; the magnetic potential and the air-gap magnetic flux are used to adjust the speed characteristic and the like of the hybrid excitation starter in load operation; [0079] d) the adjustment and optimization of the parameters of the excitation coil windings 3 result in copper saving, weight reduction, energy consumption reduction and efficiency improving; [0080] e) the requirement for safe and steady electric current density is satisfied by adjusting the cross-sectional area of the copper wires forming the excitation coil windings 3. [0081] In general, the present invention may have other embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications according to the present invention without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, but these changes and modifications shall be incorporated in the protection scope of the claims appended to the present invention.
