  • Patent number: 6392311
    Abstract: A starter generator for an internal combustion engine serving as a starter motor when the internal combustion engine should start and as a generator after the internal combustion engine starts and comprising a magnet rotor and a stator having a plural of coils, a plural of switch circuits to switch a current flowing through the coils and a switch controller to control switch elements of the switch circuits whereby the current flows through all the coils by controlling the switch circuits in accordance with a position of the rotor when the engine should start to thereby produce a large torque and the current flows through one or some of the coils via a rectifying circuit of rectifying diodes provided in some switch circuits after the engine starts to thereby charge the battery.

  • Patent number: 6373729
    Abstract: A method of controlling an electric power source apparatus including an electric power converter circuit which converts an output of an electric power source into DC or AC output and load connector terminals across which is applied an output of said converter circuit, which includes the steps of detecting a waveform of the load voltage across the load connection terminals after the output of the electric power converter circuit is stopped when an overcurrent flows through the load connection terminals, of judging a cause due to which the overcurrent flows, and of controlling said converter circuit according to the result of the judgement, wherein the electric power converter circuit is kept stopped when it is judged that the overcurrent is caused by an increase in the load and the electric power converter is so controlled that the waveform of the voltage applied across the load connection terminals from the electric power converter circuit is consistent with the waveform of the voltage detected by the voltage

  • Patent number: 6317339
    Abstract: A method of controlling an electric power supply apparatus with an electric converter circuit adapted to detect a phase difference between a waveform of a voltage across load connection terminals and a waveform of a reference voltage from time difference between zero cross points thereof and shift the phase of the reference voltage so that the phase difference is within a set range when it is decided that the phase difference is out of the set range whereby the phase of the output voltage across the load connection terminals is so controlled that it is coincident with that of an external voltage applied across the load connection terminals.

  • Patent number: 6278194
    Abstract: A stator generator for an internal combustion engine comprising a magnet rotor provided on an output shaft of the engine and having main poles of permanent magnet and interpoles of material of high permeability alternately provided thereon whereby it is operated as an electric motor when the engine starts so that a drive current flows through armature coils with each of the main poles and one of the interpoles on the advanced side of the corresponding main pole serving as one rotor pole and it is operated as a magneto generator after the engine starts so that a control current flows through the armature coils so as to generate an output for charging a battery with each of the main poles and one of the interpoles on the delayed side of the corresponding main pole serving as one rotor pole.

  • Patent number: 6049194
    Abstract: A generating apparatus for feeding a current to a battery using a magneto as a power supply is disclosed which is capable of varying a magnetic field acting on generating coils to widely control characteristics of the magneto. A rectifying/switch circuit is arranged between the magneto and a load, which incorporates the battery. The rectifying/switch circuit includes diodes and switch elements. The diodes are 2n (n.gtoreq.2) in number and are bridge-connected to each other. The switch elements are connected to the diodes by reverse parallel connection. A switch control unit applies an AC control voltage of a predetermined phase from the battery through the rectifying/switch circuit to the generating coils, so that a phase of the AC control voltage may be varied to widely vary characteristics of the magneto.
