   Starter armature The control device includes an electromagnetic switch, a starter relay, and an ignition start switch, etc. The electromagnetic switch is made together with the starter armature.

  I. Electromagnetic switch

  1. Structural characteristics of the electromagnetic switch

  The electromagnetic switch is mainly composed of an electromagnet mechanism and a motor switch. The electromagnet mechanism consists of a fixed core, a movable core, an attracting coil, and a holding coil. The fixed core is fixed, and the movable core can move axially in the copper bushing. The front end of the movable core is fixed with a push rod, and the front end of the push rod is provided with a switch contact plate. The rear end of the movable core is connected to the fork through an adjusting screw and a connecting pin. A reset spring is arranged outside the copper bushing to reset the movable parts, such as the movable core.

  2. Working principle of the electromagnetic switch

  When the directions of the magnetic fluxes generated by energizing the attracting coil and the coil are the same, their electromagnetic attractions overlap each other, and the movable core can be attracted to move forward. The pad at the front end of the push rod until the electrical switch contacts are connected to the main motor circuit. When the magnetic pain caused by the energization of the attracting coil and the coil is in the opposite direction, their electromagnetic attractions cancel each other out. Under the action of the reset spring, the movable core and other movable parts automatically reset, the pads and contacts are disconnected, and the main motor circuit is disconnected.

  II. Starter relay

  The coils are connected to the ignition switch terminals and the connection terminals "E" on the housing respectively, the fixed contacts are connected to the start terminal "S", and the movable contacts are connected to the battery terminal "BAT" through the contact arm and bracket. The starter relay is a normally open contact. When the coil is energized, the relay core generates an electromagnetic force to close its contacts, thereby connecting the pump coil and the coil circuit controlled by the relay.

  1. Control circuit

  The control circuit includes the starter relay control circuit and the starter electromagnetic switch control circuit.

  The starter relay control circuit is controlled by the ignition switch, and the control object is the relay coil circuit. When the ignition switch is turned on, the current flows from the battery to the ammeter through the starter power terminal, then from the ammeter to the ignition switch, and the relay coil returns to the negative pole of the battery. Then the relay core generates a strong electromagnetic attraction, so that the relay contacts are closed, and the control circuit of the starter armature electromagnetic switch is connected.

  2. Main circuit

  After the electromagnetic switch is turned on, the attracting coil 3 and the holding coil 4 will generate strong electromagnetic attraction and turn on the main circuit of the starter armature. The circuit is: positive pole of the battery → starter power terminal → electromagnetic switch → excitation winding → armature winding → ground, ground → negative pole of the battery, so the starter generates electromagnetic torque and starts the engine.

  III. Common faults of starter armature

  1. Reduced-speed starter armature fault

  The battery is fully charged, the wires are connected normally, and the starter does not rotate after the ignition switch is turned on.

  Fault location: Starter, combination relay, connecting wires and switches, etc.

  Troubleshooting:

  (1) Check the wire connections and switch operation.

  (2) Determine whether the fault is in the starter or in the combination relay

  2. Starter does not rotate

  The battery is fully charged, the wires are connected normally, and the starter does not rotate after the ignition switch is turned on.

  Fault location: Starter, combination relay, connecting wires and switches, etc.

  Troubleshooting:

  (1) Check the wire connections and switch operation.

  (2) Determine whether the fault is in the starter or the combination relay: Short-circuit the two terminals on the starter electromagnetic switch with a wire to start the engine. If the starter runs, the fault is in the combination relay; if the motor does not rotate, the fault is in the starter.

  (3) Determine whether the fault is in the motor or in the electromagnetic switch: Short-circuit the two main terminals on the starter with a wire. If the motor is running, the fault is in the electromagnetic switch; otherwise, the fault is in the motor.

How to properly test a starter armature? Maintenance tips for starter armatures

The starter armature is a key component in the process of converting battery energy into mechanical energy during car starting. It consists of numerous small parts. Due to its complex structure and working environment, its maintenance is relatively complex and requires correct detection to ensure its normal operation and long lifespan. I. Correct methods for detecting the starter armature 1. Check the appearance of the starter armature to ensure that its rotating parts are not worn or deformed, the cable connectors are not damaged, the terminals are not discolored, the armature insulator is not damaged, and there is no abnormal temperature rise in the armature body. 2. Use a professional testing instrument to check its internal circuit to ensure that its resistance value has not changed, the insulation is not damaged, the brush bristles are not shortened, the contact surface of the carbon brush is not discolored, and the armature structure is not deformed. 3. Based on the test results, if problems are found with the starter armature, a new armature should be replaced promptly to ensure that the car can start normally, avoid engine damage, and prevent unnecessary repair costs. II. Starter armature maintenance 1. Regularly check the starter armature, especially after the car has been parked for a long time. Check the armature status promptly, and replace it with a new one if there are any abnormalities. 2. When the car is running, regularly check the engine

Get to know brushless DC motor stators and rotors in one minute

The stator and rotor of a brushless motor are components of the motor. The two components can coordinate with each other through the action of the magnetic coil to convert electromagnetic energy information into mechanical energy. Simply put, the stator and rotor of a brushless motor are the rotating parts of the motor. Brushless DC motors use semiconductor switching devices to achieve electronic commutation, i.e., electronic switching devices replace traditional contact commutators and brushes. They have advantages such as high reliability, no commutation sparks, and low mechanical noise, and are widely used in high-end tape recorders, video recorders, electronic instruments, and automated office equipment. A brushless DC motor consists of a permanent magnet rotor, a multi-pole winding stator, and a position sensor. The position sensor detects the change in rotor position and switches the current in the stator windings in a certain order (i.e., it detects the position of the rotor magnetic pole relative to the stator windings and generates a position sensing signal at a specific position. After processing by the signal conversion circuit, it controls the power switching circuit and switches the winding current according to a certain logical relationship). The working voltage of the stator winding is provided by the electronic switching circuit controlled by the position sensor output. There are three types of brushless motor stator and rotor position sensors: photoelectric, magnetoresistive, and electromagnetic. In brushless DC motors using magnetoresistive position sensors, the magnetoresistive sensor components (

How to check the condition of a brushless motor stator and rotor?

The stator and rotor of a brushless motor are important components of motors such as generators and starters. The stator is an important part of the motor. The stator and rotor of a brushless motor consist of a stator core, stator windings, and a frame. The main function of the brushless motor stator and rotor is to generate a rotating magnetic field, while the main function of the rotor is to be cut by electromagnetic lines in the rotating magnetic field to generate (output) current. The rotor is the rotating part of the motor. The motor consists of a rotor and a stator, used to achieve the conversion of electrical energy and mechanical energy, as well as mechanical energy and energy conversion devices. The motor rotor system is divided into two motor rotors and generator rotors. The function of the brushless motor stator and rotor is to rotate the drive shaft and provide electrical energy and mechanical energy conversion. The stator refers to the conductor in the magnetic field, the conductor is fixed, and the rotor refers to the electromagnetic coil, which moves relative to the conductor. This relative motion causes the magnetic lines of force to be cut, thus generating current in the stator coil. The stator and rotor of a brushless motor are made of iron cores and windings, and the windings are made of silicon steel and thick copper conductors. The conductors are insulated and coated with epoxy resin. The stator and rotor of a brushless motor are equivalent to conductors, and the rotor is equivalent to an electromagnet. After the rotor is energized, it is driven to rotate by the engine to form a rotating magnetic field model. Conversely, when the conductor cuts the rotating magnetic field, an induced electromotive force will be formed in the conductor.
