What is the starter?

1 alias

known as the starter motor,

2, description

by a DC motor which generates power, transmits power to the flywheel ring gear through the starter, driven flywheel, cranking the engine is started.

3, the working principle

As we all know, start the engine needs the support of external forces, automotive starter is in play this role. Broadly speaking, three components to achieve a starter starting the whole process. DC motor current is introduced from the battery and the starter drive gear generates mechanical motion; the driving gear transmission mechanism into the flywheel ring, and can be disengaged automatically after starting the engine; starter circuit off by a solenoid switch to control. Wherein the main components inside the motor starter, it works is that we are in the junior high school physical contact to Ampere’s law based energy conversion process, i.e., current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field force action. Including the necessary motor armature, commutator, poles, brushes, bearings and housings and other components.
Before the engine to operate under its own power, by means of an external force to be rotated. Engine transition from a stationary state by means of an external force to the operation of the process on their own, referred to as engine starting. Commonly used starting mode engine has started human, auxiliary starting gasoline and electric starter three forms. Starting human hand or using hove manner, simple but inconvenient and labor intensive, only be applied to small power engines, in some automobile retains only as a fallback mode; an auxiliary starting gasoline mainly used in high power diesel engine; electric starter mode is simple, rapid starting, having the ability to repeated start, and may be remotely controlled, and therefore is widely used modern automobile.
