Developement of New Technical Solution for Starter Motors for Passenger Cars

Abstract

This paper discusses an industrial project which can be solved by “classical” design methods. Many theories and methods were and have been developed during the last few decades. Methods to support product development cover well-known paradigmatic approaches and models. They are partly built upon experiences from practice, and a lot of them haven't changed much during the last 20 to 30 years. In a product development process or design process, conceptual design is one of the most important phases in which customer needs and technical requirements are translated into design solutions. Conceptual design is a component part of a design process during which designers first create new ideas and then translate them into a design structure by synthesis. First of all we defined the formulation of the task and determined the basic functions. After we are looked for solution variants and used to explore the theoretically possible solutions at principle impact level. It was found that the solution field obtained could be divided into three large groups, such as starters controlled by hydraulic, pneumatic, and electric energy sources. We also determined the development direction and finally designed a new possible solutions.
