CA 2612586

An overrunning accessory decoupler with a locking mechanism provides the desired overrunning accessory decoupler functionality and also permits torque to be transferred from the accessory to which the decoupler is installed to the drive of the engine when desired. In one embodiment, the decoupler includes a locking mechanism that is controlled by centrifugal forces developed in the decoupler to lock the decoupler to permit the accessory to transfer torque to the drive to start or boost the engine. In another embodiment, the decoupler locking mechanism includes an electromagnet that can be energized to lock and/or unlock the decoupler.

Découpleur d~accessoire à roue libre doté d~un mécanisme de blocage. Ce mécanisme fournit la fonctionnalité de découpleur d'accessoire à roue libre souhaitée et permet également de transférer le couple de l~accessoire sur lequel le découpleur est installé à la transmission du moteur, lorsque cela est souhaité. Dans l~une de ses configurations, le découpleur est doté d~un mécanisme de blocage contrôlé par la force centrifuge développée au sein du découpleur, afin de bloquer ce dernier pour permettre à l~accessoire de transférer le couple à la transmission, de manière à démarrer ou à stimuler le moteur. Dans une autre configuration, le mécanisme de blocage du découpleur inclut un électroaimant pouvant être alimenté en courant pour bloquer et/ou débloquer le découpleur.
