This claims the benefit of German Patent Application DE 10 2020 004 046.2, filed Sep. 18, 2020 and hereby incorporated by reference herein.
The present invention relates to an internal combustion engine including a universal retention system at an electric starter, in particular for laying a cable harness.
Starter devices are known, in which the starter is screwed at a flange surface at a perpendicular orientation with regard to the starter axis. The fastening screws are screwed axially with regard to the starter axis in this case. Cable harness fastening systems are further known that are implemented via buttons at the crankcase of the internal combustion engine downstream from the starter with the aid of individual sheet metal holders.
This is disadvantageous, since additional buttons are required that would actually not be necessary.
It is an object of the present invention to avoid the above-named disadvantages.
The present invention provides an internal combustion engine, including at least one starter having a starter transmission that is situated at the opposite end of the crankshaft or at the same end to transfer the rotation of the starter to the crankshaft, the starter being situated at the crankcase of the internal combustion engine and the starter being inserted into a receiving hole and being situated in a fastenable manner at the crankcase with the aid of at least one screw and a holder being situated at the starter. The advantage here is that the accessibility of the fastening screws is considerably improved, while unnecessary material buildups at the crankcase are dispensed with at the same time.
A further refinement according to the present invention provides that at least one support plate is situated at the end of the starter. The advantage here is that in longer starters, in particular, the oscillation tendency is reduced or prevented.
The subclaims contain further advantageous refinements.
The present invention is described in greater detail on the basis of exemplary embodiments with reference to the appended drawings:
To reduce potentially occurring oscillations of the free end of the starter, an additional support plate may be situated at the end of the starter.
