   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 identify automotive armature windings?

The armature winding of an automobile is the heart of the motor. Different motors, manufacturers, and processing technologies correspond to different winding styles. Different winding styles are chosen to achieve specific characteristics, such as simple structure, easy manufacturing and maintenance, and safe and reliable operation. The automobile armature winding, like the AC motor winding, has a significant potential difference between the edges of each coil for a specific number of conductors. It should save non-ferrous metals and insulating materials as much as possible, but it has unique characteristics. Through the connector between coils, the connection relationship must ensure good conversion. I. Characteristics and coil pitch of automobile armature winding The characteristics of automobile armature winding are usually represented by the number of slots, the number of coils, the number of commutator segments, and various coil pitches. Each coil has two coil sides, and each commutator segment connects coil sides and coil sides, so the number of coils S must be equal to the number of commutator segments K (for example, S=K). 1. One pitch y1 The distance between the two coil sides of each coil intersecting the armature surface is called the back coil pitch or one coil pitch of the winding, represented by the number of virtual slots intersected. 2. Two pitches y2 In two coils connected by the same translation layer section, the distance between the bottom coil side of one coil and the top coil side of the other coil from the armature surface is called the front coil pitch or two coil pitches,

Induced electromotive force and current of automotive armature windings

The basic understanding is that when a current flows through the armature winding in a magnetic field, a force acts on the winding. A more advanced understanding is that when a current flows through the winding in a magnetic field, another magnetic field is generated, and the interaction between the two magnetic fields produces torque. From an electron's perspective, the current experiences a force in the magnetic field. The latter understanding is that two magnetic fields interact with each other. Generally understood as a magnetic field that generates induced electromotive force, and the current in the winding generates another magnetic field, and the interaction between the two magnetic fields generates torque. However, if the two are combined into one magnetic field, how this magnetic field generates torque needs to understand the tensor law. The magnetic force that generates the armature induced electromotive force is called the air gap magnetic flux line, and the magnetic chain is called the air gap magnetic flux line. The air gap magnetic flux line and the induced armature will reduce the frequency relationship, thereby reducing the pi/2 phase relationship. This is a very clear and measurable physical quantity. The relationship with the armature winding current is also obvious. There are two main types of flowing armature windings, used in DC motors and AC motors respectively. The armature consists of an armature core and an armature winding. The armature winding is the circuit part of a DC motor, and is the part that converts electrical energy by generating induced electromotive force and electromagnetic torque (a generator is the part that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy). The armature core is the electric

The function of an automotive armature

The automotive armature is a core component in the process of converting mechanical energy and electrical energy in a motor. For generators, it is the component that generates electromotive force, such as the rotor and stator of a DC generator and the stator of an AC generator. For motors, it is the component that generates electromagnetic force, such as the rotor and stator of a DC motor. The automotive armature is the component of the motor that has coils, and these coils move relative to the magnetic field. In a generator, the rotating coils under force generate an induced electromotive force, thus generating electricity. In a motor, the coils are subjected to Ampere's force in the magnetic field, causing them to rotate in the magnetic field. In most generators, the field magnet is part of the rotating component, and the armature is stationary, part of the stator. Motors and generators can be composed of a stationary armature and a rotating magnetic field or a rotating armature and a stationary magnetic field. Permanent magnets or the polarized parts of electromagnets and the moving iron parts of solenoids (especially when the latter are used as switches or relays) can also be considered armatures. Composition of an automotive armature: Automotive armature windings are divided into two main categories: DC armature windings and AC armature windings. They are used in DC motors and AC motors respectively. The automotive armature consists of an armature core and armature windings. The armature windings are the circuit part of the DC motor, formed by...
