Abstract: In an engine drive washing machine, a discharge switch 10 is provided in a jet gun 5. When the switch 10 is turned off, an engine 1 is stopped. When the switch 10 is turned on, the engine 1 is started up to drive a pump 2. When an outlet pressure of the pump 2 is not lower than a predetermined value, a water-discharge valve in the gun 5 is opened to cause the water to be discharged. When the switch 10 is not turned off for a long time, the engine 1 is stopped. When an operator takes up the gun 5 to start the operation, the engine 1 is started up. The engine-drive type of washing machine is provided with a battery 13 for a starter motor, and the battery 13 is charged by a generator function of a starter-motor generator 3 during the operation of the engine 1.

Abstract: A starter motor is prevented from being rotated together with an engine after the start of a engine. When motor speed exceeds the cranking speed after the start of the engine, a speed judging section 36 judges that the starter motor is rotated together with the engine. A current-supply stopping section 38 commands to stop energizing a motor 3a in response to the judge. After the electricity supply is stopped, if the rotation speed is reduced to a value close to the cranking speed, judging section 36 outputs a signal to cancel the current-supply stopping commands from the current-supply stopping section 38. The detection of the motor speed is also continued even after the ignition, and if the speed is further increased, the speed detection is stopped. If the speed is increased to a value showing complete explosion, the speed judging section 36 switches the relays to a generator.

Abstract: An N-channel MOS transistor is used to configure a DC—DC converter having good characteristics without providing a particular voltage circuit which outputs a voltage higher than an input voltage. An N-channel MOS transistor 11 and a choke coil 12 are connected in series between a negative side of a direct-current power supply and a negative side of the output capacitor 8. A PWM circuit 14 applies pulse signals to a gate of the MOS transistor 11 based on the input voltage divided by the capacitors 9 and 10. The pulse signal of the PWM circuit 14 is formed by the voltage corresponding to the output voltage of the output capacitor 8, and the pulse signal is inputted to the gate of the N-channel MOS transistor 11 through a photocoupler 16.

Abstract: The invention makes an output sharing of an engine and an electric motor proper so as to suitably drive a load. When a throttle opening degree variation amount ?V is within a ?V1, an engine E can drive a power generator G at a rated revolution speed. A switching circuit 28 is switched in such a manner as to charge a battery 27 by a generated power. When the opening degree variation amount ?V becomes larger than the ?V1, a power assist of operating the power generator G as the electric motor is set to be standby. When the opening degree variation amount ?V is more than ?V2 (>?V1), the power assist is started. In the power assist, an angle advance amount is increased. When acceleration is insufficient, it is possible to further increase a conduction angle in stages.
