Belt-driven starter-generator
A belt-driven starter-generator includes a rotary shaft, and a pulley belt coupled on an outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft. A key is press-fitted into a pocket formed between the rotary shaft and the pulley belt so as to fix the rotary shaft to the pulley belt. A coupling member is coupled to a thread formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft so as to support one side of the pulley belt. Operational reliability and assembly convenience may be improved by the belt-driven starter-generator of the present disclosure.
1. A belt-driven starter-generator comprising:
a rotary shaft;
a pulley belt coupled to the rotary shaft and configured such that one end of the rotary shaft is exposed therethrough;
a pocket formed between the rotary shaft and the pulley belt;
a key arranged in the pocket; and
a coupling member coupled to one end of the rotary shaft,
wherein the pulley belt includes a receiving groove to which one end of the rotary shaft is exposed, and a through-hole formed on a bottom surface of the receiving groove so that the rotary shaft is inserted into the through-hole,
wherein the pocket communicates with the receiving groove, and
wherein the pocket includes a first slit formed on a side wall of the through-hole and a second slit formed on an outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft, a length of the first slit being greater than a length of the second slit.
2. The belt-driven starter-generator of claim 1 , wherein the receiving groove has a diameter greater than a diameter of the through-hole and a maximum linear width of the coupling member.
3. The belt-driven starter-generator of claim 1 , further comprising:
a housing;
a stator arranged in the housing; and
a rotor rotated along with the rotary shaft.
4. The belt-driven starter-generator of claim 3 , wherein the housing comprises a first housing accommodating the stator and the rotor, and a second housing accommodating the first housing.
5. The belt-driven starter-generator of claim 4 , further comprising a cooling channel formed between the first housing and the second housing.
6. The belt-driven starter-generator of claim 1 , wherein one end of the rotary shaft coupled to the coupling member has a thread.
7. The belt-driven starter-generator of claim 2 , wherein the coupling member comprises a nut portion coupled to one end of the rotary shaft, and a fixed portion connected to the nut portion so as to come into contact with the bottom surface of the receiving groove of the pulley belt.
8. The belt-driven starter-generator of claim 1 , wherein the pocket has a length greater than that of the key.
9. The belt-driven starter-generator of claim 1 , wherein the pocket has a length equal to or less than that of the key.
10. The belt-driven starter-generator of claim 1 , further comprising a ring-shaped tension washer inserted between the key and the coupling member.
11. The belt-driven starter-generator of claim 1 , wherein the key has a tapered portion formed on at least one of upper and lower end portions thereof.
12. The belt-driven starter-generator of claim 1 , wherein the key is configured to be inserted in to the pocket via the receiving groove.
13. The belt-driven starter-generator of claim 1 , wherein the length of the first slit corresponds to a length of the through hole.
