Fig. 1 shows the side-looking structure according to the Straddle-type vehicle 100 of the embodiment of the invention.Fig. 2 is mounted in the block diagram that illustrates control convenience 10 and construct according to being used in the Straddle-type vehicle 100 of present embodiment on every side.
As shown in Figure 2, comprise according to the Straddle-type vehicle 100 of present embodiment: drive source (driving engine) 20, it has the output that is controlled in response to by the accelerator operation member 25 of driver's operation; Toric transmission 30, it is connected to driving engine 20; And control convenience 10, it carries out automatically controlled to toric transmission 30.Notice that in the present embodiment, driving engine 20 and toric transmission 30 form power unit 80.
Straddle-type vehicle 100 as shown in Figure 1 is scooter formula motor bikes, and the propulsive effort that is produced by driving engine 20 is delivered to trailing wheel (drive wheel) 40 by toric transmission 30.Under the situation of motor bike, the accelerator operation member of being operated by the rider 25 is accelerator or the accelerator handles that are installed to handle.
By the groove width regulating mechanism with the movable wheel rim 34b of secondary pulley 34 along the direction bias voltage that groove width is narrowed down.The groove width regulating mechanism of present embodiment is formed by spring that is installed to movable wheel rim 34b and the torque cam (not shown) that is arranged among the movable wheel rim 34b.
On the other hand, by using actuator 60 to control the groove width that the moving of movable wheel rim 32b of primary pulley 32 (so that movable wheel rim 32b moves along the direction of elementary axle 31) regulated primary pulley 32.The output of actuator 60 can make the direction (that is high-grade side) that 32b narrows down along the groove width that makes primary pulley 32 and make that both move the direction (that is low-grade side) that groove width broadens.
The actuator 60 of regulating the groove width of primary pulley 32 is electrically connected to control convenience (shift control device) 10.Control convenience 10 is by control electronics (ECU; Electronic control unit) constitutes.Control electronics (ECU) is made of for example microcomputer (MPU).Control convenience 10 is controlled, make it calculate and the corresponding converter speed ratio of traveling state of vehicle (for example speed of a motor vehicle, throttle opening) based on the control chart of depositing in advance (program), and the shift command that will realize this converter speed ratio sends to toric transmission 30, thereby finally realizes this converter speed ratio.
Working control is performed as and makes and to calculate the expected value (target change gear ratio) of converter speed ratio based on the information relevant with the speed of a motor vehicle and throttle opening according to control chart, and the movable pulley of controlling primary pulley by driving motor 60 is with the realization target change gear ratio.Control chart is stored in the storage location that is arranged in the control convenience 10.Perhaps, can be electrically connected to the storage location of control convenience 10 in the outer setting of control convenience 10, and control chart can be stored in this storage location.Storage location for example can be made of semiconductor memory (RAM, flash memory etc.) or hard disk.
In automatically controlled as mentioned above toric transmission, set multiple shift characteristic by preparing a plurality of control charts.In the toric transmission 30 of present embodiment, two kinds of shift characteristics suitably changing according to rider's intention have been set.
In the present embodiment, in control convenience 10, set a plurality of drive patterns that are used to control toric transmission 30.In addition, control convenience 10 is carried out first control, 11, second control the 12 and the 3rd control 13.Control convenience 10 carries out various controls according to predefined program.
Here, " determining drive controlling " is the drive pattern that has been determined in advance in a plurality of drive patterns of setting in control convenience 10.In the present embodiment, also be called " general mode " or " originate mode " at suitable place.
Shown in Fig. 3 (a), in the toric transmission 30 of present embodiment, adopt two drive patterns, i.e. general mode " A " and auxiliary mode " B ".Notice that " drive pattern " used herein is to be expressed as the shift characteristic (gear shift method) that toric transmission is set.Explain the characteristic of each drive pattern for the sake of simplicity, general mode " A " is the drive pattern of wherein setting lowlyer for the engine speed that reduces in the zones of will shifting gears such as consumption of fuel, noise (economic model).On the other hand, auxiliary mode " B " be wherein the engine speed in the gear shift zone is set at higher than the situation in general mode " A " giving preferential pattern (dynamic mode) to engine performance.
Shown in Fig. 3 (c), general mode " A " and auxiliary mode " B " have the different shift characteristic figure (control chart) shown in the speed of a motor vehicle-engine speed figure.In (c) of Fig. 3, R (A) shows the shift characteristic of setting (control chart) in general mode " A ", and R (B) shows the shift characteristic of setting in auxiliary mode " B ".These figure show that under the situation of the identical speed of a motor vehicle, along with engine speed uprises, the converter speed ratio of toric transmission is set to bigger (low-grade side).
Can know as the comparison of the shift characteristic of general mode " A " and auxiliary mode " B " and to see that under the situation of the identical speed of a motor vehicle, the engine speed of general mode " A " is set to the engine speed that is lower than auxiliary mode " B ".That is, the converter speed ratio in the general mode " A " is set to than the converter speed ratio in the auxiliary mode " B " littler (high-grade side).
In this embodiment, shown in Fig. 3 (a), control convenience 10 pair separate in response to the rider with accelerator operation member 25 setting mode switching operation member 27 operation and between a plurality of drive patterns (general mode " A " and auxiliary mode " B " here), switch.That is, can between general mode " A " and auxiliary mode " B ", switch (arrow " 70 ") according to rider's intention (usually by the M/C button).So, can select the preferred drive pattern that reflects that the rider is intended to, and the rider can access comfortable driving.
In addition, in the present embodiment, shown in Fig. 3 (b), control convenience 10 is constructed to make it can be under driving engine 20 closing state selectively the drive pattern (shift characteristic) of toric transmission 30 to be fixed as originate mode.Here " originate mode " of Cai Yonging is to be set to the drive pattern with minimum converter speed ratio in a plurality of drive patterns (shift characteristic) that set in the toric transmission.That is, in this embodiment, be set to have the converter speed ratio littler (high-grade side) than auxiliary mode " B " general mode " A " corresponding to originate mode.
More specifically, when shelves control convenience 10 detects driving engine 20 unstart still, send the mode switch decretum inhibitorium, thereby forbid switching to auxiliary mode " B " (drive pattern except originate mode) from general mode " A " (originate mode), wherein drive pattern had been changed into described general mode " A " before driving engine 20 startings.
In this embodiment, as mentioned above, use the control chart (R (A), R (B)) shown in Fig. 3 (c) to carry out working control.More specifically, based on the information relevant with the speed of a motor vehicle and throttle opening, calculate the expected value (target change gear ratio) of converter speed ratio according to the control chart (R (A), R (B)) of each drive pattern, and driving motor 60 to be realizing this target change gear ratio, thus the position of the movable pulley of control primary pulley.Notice that control chart R (A) shows the control chart of general mode " A ", and control chart R (B) shows the control chart of auxiliary mode " B ".In addition, the zone (control area) defined by control chart of control chart R (A) and control chart R (B) expression.This control area is by line L1 (A) and line L1 (B) and by line L2 (A) and L2 (B) region surrounded, relation between the expected value of line L1 (A) and line L1 (B) the expression speed of a motor vehicle and engine speed when throttle gate is opened fully, line L2 (A) and L2 (B) represent the relation between the expected value of the speed of a motor vehicle and engine speed when throttle gate is closed fully.
For example, if when vehicle travels, control, then come the expected value of calculation engine speed in general mode " A " by the computing of carrying out based on the information relevant with the speed of a motor vehicle and throttle opening based on control chart R (A).More specifically, determine the position of the horizontal shaft among (c) of Fig. 3 based on the information relevant with the speed of a motor vehicle.Then, in the scope of figure R (A), determine the expected value of engine speed according to throttle opening.In the case, along with throttle opening increases, the expected value of engine speed also increases (to low-grade side control to increase converter speed ratio), and along with throttle opening reduces, the expected value of engine speed also reduces (to high-grade side control to reduce converter speed ratio), thereby realizes level and smooth acceleration and deceleration.The expected value of control convenience 10 calculation engine speed is carried out above-mentioned computing repeatedly based on the information relevant with throttle opening (it changes in time) with the speed of a motor vehicle simultaneously, thus the converter speed ratio of control toric transmission 30.
In aforesaid toric transmission 30, when converter speed ratio met or exceeded particular value, power-transfer clutch was tending towards along with the rotating speed rising of secondary pulley and meshes.Suppose, if the expected value of engine speed is set so that converter speed ratio and surpasses the value that causes clutches engaged, then expected value from engine speed to high-grade side that further set will reduce the unexpected sensation that can experience when engine retarder meshes after power-transfer clutch just meshes.As seen the control chart R (A) of example and control chart R's (B) is more clearly from figure, and control chart R (A) is set so that the situation of converter speed ratio less than control chart R (B).Therefore, can more effectively reduce the unexpected sensation when engine retarder meshes, experienced based on the control of control chart R (A).
Notice that in the present embodiment, " A " is set at originate mode with general mode.But general mode " A " can be set at other drive patterns in a plurality of drive patterns, as long as it is that wherein converter speed ratio is set to the drive pattern that reduces (to high-grade side).The quantity that can set drive pattern is not limited to two, and can set three or more drive patterns in toric transmission 30.For example, wherein compared to the situation of general mode " A ", converter speed ratio can be set and be used as originate mode by the 3rd drive pattern of further setting to high-grade side.
In addition, the method for switching between drive pattern of present embodiment employing is switched drive pattern by switching controls figure.But the method for switching between drive pattern is not limited thereto.For example, can be not by switching controls figure, and determine that by being multiplied by convesion factor changes shift characteristic.More specifically, can multiply by definite convesion factor (for example, 1.35) from determining the target change gear ratio that control chart calculates, thereby can switch to the shift characteristic (" pattern lowers category ") that its converter speed ratio is increased (changing to low-grade side).In the case, the lower category quantity of pattern can be set to one.Alternatively, can adopt following structure: wherein set two or more patterns that lowers category, and lower category in response to the push-botton operation that is undertaken by the rider and to make converter speed ratio increase (changing) (the multistage pattern that lowers category) gradually to low-grade side.Note, determine that convesion factor is stored in the form of coefficient figure to be arranged in the inner or exterior storage location of control convenience.
Fig. 4 illustrates another embodiment, shows the example of the method for switching between drive pattern.As shown in Figure 4, can carry out the switching between drive pattern by switching drive pattern based on control chart and setting the combination of the pattern that lowers category by multiply by convesion factor.In example as shown in Figure 4, can between three drive patterns (that is, general mode " A ", auxiliary mode " B " and auxiliary II pattern " C "), switch (with reference to the arrow among the figure 4 72) in succession in response to rider's operating-mode switch control member 27.In addition, adopt each drive pattern wherein can both switch to the structure (with reference to the arrow among the figure 4 74) of the state of lowering category.Even in this case, also can avoid offending sensation when the clutches engaged by before fire an engine, drive pattern being fixed as general mode " A " (that is, be set to have minimum converter speed ratio the drive pattern of (to high-grade side)).
Now,, will describe the structure of the embodiment of the invention in detail, i.e. the control carried out of the control convenience of toric transmission again with reference to figure 2.
Straddle-type vehicle 100 comprises the engine speed sensor 22 of the rotating speed that is used for detection of engine 20.Whether control convenience 10 is whether still 0 situation comes detection of engine 20 unstart based on the engine speed that is detected by engine speed sensor 22.
In this embodiment, the engine speed sensor 22 that is used for the rotating speed of detection of engine 20 is electrically connected to control convenience 10, and engine speed signal is outputed to control convenience 10.When control convenience 10 detected driving engine 20 unstart still via engine speed sensor 22, it sent the mode switch decretum inhibitorium.More specifically, send the mode switch decretum inhibitorium based on engine speed signal (more specifically, the expression engine speed is the engine speed signal of " 0 ") from engine speed sensor 22 outputs.Notice that the mode switch decretum inhibitorium is not limited to from the generator speed signal of engine speed sensor 22 outputs.Can adopt following structure: wherein send the mode switch decretum inhibitorium based on other information of expression driving engine unstart still (for example, by judging whether to have carried out igniting or injection) based on main switch " opening ".
In addition, the trailing wheel speed sensor 52 that is used to detect the speed of trailing wheel 40 is electrically connected to control convenience 10.Trailing wheel speed sensor 52 is arranged near the trailing wheel 40, and the trailing wheel speed signal is outputed to control convenience 10.Can obtain the speed of a motor vehicle by the trailing wheel speed signal.
In addition, the mode selector switch (mode switch SW) as mode switching operation member 27 is electrically connected to control convenience 10.Carry out switching between a plurality of drive patterns by rider's operation mode change-over switch.Mode selector switch can for example be the mode switch button with button-shape.
In addition, the belt wheel location detecting apparatus 29 of wheel rim position that is used for the movable wheel rim 32b of detection of primary belt wheel 32 can will output to control convenience 10 in the relevant information in the position of movable wheel rim (movable wheel rim position signal).Notice that various signals (for example, throttle opening signal, secondary pulley tach signal etc.) and trailing wheel speed signal, engine speed signal, movable wheel rim position signal are input to control convenience 10.
Then, will be with reference to the control method of the flow chart description control convenience 10 of figure 5.
At first, control convenience 10 switched to drive pattern the definite drive pattern (A) (first control) that has been determined in advance in a plurality of drive patterns (A, B) before driving engine 20 starting.In this embodiment, when main switch (main power of vehicle 100) when transferring " opening " to, control convenience 10 proceeds to step S20, and drive pattern is changed into originate mode (being general mode " A " here).
Then, when control convenience 10 detected driving engine unstart still, its restriction second control 12 was also forbidden from determining that drive pattern (A) switches to other drive patterns (B) (the 3rd control).In this embodiment, control convenience 10 judges whether to exist drive pattern handoff request (switching to the handoff request of auxiliary mode " B " here) (step S30).When there is the drive pattern handoff request in judgement, then judge at step S40 whether driving engine 20 starts.In the case, when judging driving engine 20 unstart still, handle and proceed to the step S50 that wherein refuses the mode switch request, and drive pattern is identified and is set at the originate mode of being kept (general mode " A ") (step S70).
On the other hand, when when step S40 judges that driving engine 20 has started, program proceeds to the step S60 that wherein accepts handoff request, and carry out switching, and drive pattern is identified and is set at this state (step S70) from originate mode (general mode " A ") to other patterns (auxiliary mode " B ").
Like this, the drive pattern when engine starting can be fixed as originate mode (general mode " A ").Notice that in the example of Miao Shuing, when main switch transferred " opening " to, drive pattern was changed into originate mode here.But, just enough if drive pattern was changed into originate mode before engine starting.Therefore, be used to change to the time that is not limited to transfer to " opening " opportunity of originate mode when main switch.For example, acceptable is to adopt following structure: proceed to the change of originate mode the opportunity when tail-off, make when next main switch transfers " opening " to, finished the change of originate mode.Alternatively, also acceptable is, adopts following structure: when main switch transfers " pass " to, proceed to the change of originate mode, make when next main switch transfers " opening " to, finished the change of originate mode.
Then, will an alternative embodiment of the invention be described with reference to figure 6.The difference of this embodiment and the foregoing description is, does not carry out originate mode before engine starting, and is and then carrying out originate mode after the engine starting.Therefore, represent by same or similar label, and will omit it and be repeated in this description with Straddle-type vehicle 100 same or analogous structural elements.
In this embodiment, when control convenience 10 detects driving engine 20 and has started, and when drive pattern was not changed in a plurality of drive patterns (A, B) predetermined definite drive pattern (A) as yet, control convenience 10 switched to predetermined drive pattern (A) (the 4th control 14) with drive pattern.
In this embodiment, control convenience 10 is constructed to the state that makes that its detection of engine 20 has just been started, and based on testing result, control convenience 10 can be controlled so that drive pattern is switched to originate mode (general mode " A ") from other drive patterns (auxiliary mode " B ").That is, before engine starting, allow the switching of drive pattern, and according to the opportunity of engine starting drive pattern being switched to originate mode.Even for aforesaid structure, also can be after engine starting therein converter speed ratio be set under the originate mode that reduces (to high-grade side) and begin to make vehicle '.So, can reduce by rider's operation and the inconsistent offending sensation that causes between the vehicle actual motion.
Notice that in this embodiment, whether control convenience 10 raises from 0 based on the speed of driving engine 20, comes detection of engine 20 whether just to start.That is the state that can detection of engine 20 have just started of control convenience 10.More specifically, control convenience 10 carries out following control: from the engine speed signal that " 0 " raises drive pattern is switched to originate mode (general mode " A ") from other drive patterns in response to the expression engine speed.
Then, with the control method of description control equipment 10.At first, when at step S100 main switch (main power of vehicle 100) when transferring " opening " to, program proceeds to step S200, and wherein control convenience 10 judges whether driving engine 20 starts.(in this embodiment, per 0.05 second (for example, 50ms)) repeats, and judges that up to it driving engine starts with short interval in the judgement of step S200.
When judging that at step S200 driving engine has started, control convenience 10 judges that at step S300 whether drive pattern is the drive pattern except originate mode (general mode " A ").When judging that at step S300 current drive pattern has been set to originate mode (general mode " A "), program proceeds to step S500, and keeps originate mode (general mode " A "), drive pattern is confirmed and is set at its current situation.
On the other hand, when judging that at step S300 current drive pattern is the drive pattern except originate mode (general mode " A "), when being auxiliary mode " B ", carry out switching (step S400), and drive pattern confirmed and be set at its current situation (step S500) from other drive patterns (auxiliary mode " B ") to originate mode (general mode " A ").
In above-mentioned structure, switch to drive pattern except originate mode even transfer " after opening " drive pattern at main switch, also can and then after the engine starting drive pattern switched to originate mode reliably.In addition, step S200 (for example, 50ms) repeats for the very short interval of judgement one whether driving engine has started.Therefore, even after engine starting, switch drive pattern, can not influence the actual change of converter speed ratio yet.
The invention is not restricted to the foregoing description.
For example, the mechanism of toric transmission 30 be not limited to describe in the foregoing description those.For example, the present invention can be applied to have the band of V wherein and twines and use actuator and control convenience to regulate the various toric transmissions of structure of the groove width of primary pulley around primary pulley and secondary pulley.
For above-mentioned toric transmission, for example can adopt toric transmission as shown in Figure 8, it comprises the metal tape as the V band.Note, toric transmission as shown in Figure 8 with as Fig. 2 and toric transmission shown in Figure 6 have the structural elements of same operation and partly represent by same numeral.
In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 8, except comprising metal tape, comprise that the toric transmission 200 (after this being also referred to as " metal band type CVT " at suitable place) of the metal tape of being with as V is also revised in every way as the V band.
Metal band type CVT 230 comprises power-transfer clutch 250, elementary rotation sensor 229 and actuator.In this embodiment, actuator is made of hydraulic actuating cylinder 260A, 260B and fluid control valve 260C.
