STARTING DEVICE FOR VEHICULAR ENGINE

摘要

To provide a starting device for a vehicular engine in which a rotor of a generator is connected to a crankshaft, an over-running clutch for inputting a rotational power from a starting motor to the crankshaft is mounted to the crankshaft, and a starting clutch is mounted to one end of a main shaft forming part of a transmission, wherein the device is intended to suppress a projecting amount of the engine body on the generator side to a small value. A starting motor 34 is mounted to an approximately central portion of an engine body along the axis of a crankshaft. An over-running clutch 29 is mounted to one end portion of the crankshaft 27 at a position where a starting clutch 39 is sandwiched between the over-running clutch 29 and a starting motor 34. A starting gear reducer 35 having gears 58 and 59 respectively fixed to both ends of a rotational shaft 62 crossing the starting clutch 39 is provided between the starting motor 34 and the over-running clutch 29. A rotor of a generator is connected to the other end of the crankshaft.
