Arrangement of solenoid assembly with an electronic switch for a starter motor
A starter for starting an engine in a vehicle, which includes a motor and an output shaft that rotates by receiving torque from the motor. The starter also includes a pinion movable body that includes a pinion for transmitting the torque of the motor to a ring gear of the engine. The pinion movable body is provided on an outer circumference of the output shaft integrally with the pinion in a manner allowing movement along an axial direction. The solenoid assembly consist of two divisions, one for to pull up the drive in the solenoid and the other to activate the starter motor by energizing the electronic circuit.
1. A solenoid assembly for a starter motor comprising: a plunger assembly having a return spring which is enabled through a frame, and a bobbin assembly, said solenoid assembly further comprises a single solenoid coil and an electronic circuit, said electronic circuit consisting of a plurality of MOSFETs, the MOSFETSs being arranged in parallel, a first resistor coupled to a source of each of the MOSFETS, a second resistor coupled a drain of each of the MOSFETs, said bobbin assembly is surrounded by said single solenoid coil, a first switch being connected to a battery, the first switch connects the MOSFETs and the first resistor and the second resistor of each of the MOSFETs to the single solenoid coil, a second switch being connected to the battery and the drive assembly, wherein said solenoid assembly separately actuates said electronic circuit by actuating the first switch for energizing the starter motor and said solenoid coil and the second switch for activating a drive assembly.
2. The solenoid assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said single solenoid coil and said electronic circuit are connected through a plunger strip.
3. The solenoid assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said solenoid assembly is covered by a cap assembly.
