The starter is the core of the truck's starting system. It is responsible for converting the electrical energy of the battery into mechanical energy, driving the engine flywheel to rotate to start the engine. Its performance directly affects the normal operation of the truck.

I. Working Principle
Based on the operation mechanism of a DC motor, when current passes through the armature winding, electromagnetic force is generated to form torque, making the armature rotate. During operation, the DC motor rotates under the power supply of the battery, and drives the engine flywheel and crankshaft to rotate through the transmission mechanism; after the engine starts, the control device cuts off the circuit, and the starter stops working.
II. Structural Composition
  1. DC Motor: Mostly DC series-excited type, with coils wound with thick copper wires, which efficiently converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and provides starting power.
  1. Transmission Mechanism: It includes a transmission sleeve, a one-way clutch and a drive gear, responsible for transmitting power. The one-way clutch can prevent the reverse power of the engine from damaging the starter.
  1. Electromagnetic Switch: Composed of a switch cover assembly and a switch body, it controls the on-off of the starter circuit to ensure its timely start and stop.
III. Classification Methods
  1. By DC motor type: Divided into ordinary starters (traditional excitation) and permanent magnet starters (permanent magnet material magnetic poles, simple structure and high efficiency).
  1. By control device: There are direct-acting type (controlled by mechanical lever, laborious to operate) and electromagnetic control starters (controlled by electromagnetic force, easy to operate, widely used).
  1. By the meshing way of the transmission mechanism: Including inertial engagement type (gradually eliminated), forced engagement type (widely used), armature moving type, moving gear type and deceleration type (commonly used in large trucks), etc.
IV. Common Faults and Solutions
  1. Not working: It may be due to battery depletion, wiring problems, electromagnetic switch or motor failure, or circuit open. It is necessary to check and charge/replace the battery, clean and fasten the wiring, repair or replace faulty components, and repair the circuit.
  1. Idling: Mostly caused by one-way clutch slipping, gear wear or improper installation. The clutch or worn parts should be replaced, and reinstallation and adjustment should be done.
  1. Weak operation: Related to battery power, excessive internal resistance of the starter and large engine resistance. It is necessary to charge/replace the battery, overhaul the inside of the starter, and deal with the problem of engine resistance.
  1. Abnormal noise: May be caused by poor gear meshing, bearing wear, armature shaft bending or clutch damage. It is necessary to adjust the installation, replace the bearing or shaft, and repair the gear, etc.
In conclusion, understanding the principle, structure, classification and fault handling of the starter is crucial to ensuring the reliable operation of the truck. Regular inspection and maintenance are required in daily use.
