Abstract

See full text

A power generation control device for determining a crank position of an engine to reduce a start-up torque following an engine stop, enhancing startability, and reducing electric power consumption of a battery at start-up is provided. The power generation control device includes a magneto generator rotated by an engine, a generated electric current controller that rectifies an alternating electric current generated by the magneto into a direct current and supplies the direct current as a generated electric current to an electric appliance and controls a power generation amount to the electric appliance. A controlling section controls a power generation amount of a rectifying section. The controlling section is provided with an exhaust stroke stop estimation time control module for calculating engine rotational speed and acceleration values based on a signal related to a rotation cycle of a crankshaft or the magneto generator, for estimating a stop of the engine according to the rotational speed and the acceleration values, and for performing a control for increasing the power generation amount of the rectifying section when the engine stop is estimated to occur at an exhaust stroke of the engine.
