METHOD FOR PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE OF A STARTER MOTOR FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

Patentradars sammanfattning

This patent discloses a predictive maintenance system for starter motors in internal combustion engines that overcomes limitations of prior art by simultaneously compensating for engine thermal state and application-specific parasitic loads. The method measures startup duration and engine/oil temperature during cranking, applies a calibration-derived parasitic load correction factor determined early in the starter's life, and estimates State of Health by comparing adjusted startup times to reference curves. The approach achieves application-independent diagnostics by isolating actual mechanical wear from environmental factors and varying external mechanical drags, enabling timely maintenance scheduling before catastrophic failure.
