The automatic transmission clutch controlling method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the Advanced Automotive Automatic Control field, be specifically related to a kind of automatic transmission clutch controlling method.
Background technique
The interlock point of clutch is after clutch overcomes idle stroke, its active part just contacts with secondary part, but do not begin the very little position of transmitting torque or transmitting torque (this moment of torsion is not enough to overcome the Vehicle Driving Cycle resistance and makes Vehicle Driving Cycle), this moment, active part and the secondary part of clutch produced sliding friction.Before Vehicle Driving Cycle, if with the position of Clutch Control at the interlock point, after brake is unclamped, just vehicle can start very soon, reduce the response time of Vehicle Driving Cycle.The quick response that the interlock point of clutch detects vehicle start has important impact, if clutch linkage point detects inaccuracy, can cause then that clutch abrasion is serious, vehicle oil consumption increase, vehicle start have the problems such as impact.
Automatic transmission clutch does not have clutch position sensor, therefore can't direct-detection clutch linkage point.Because the factors such as wearing and tearing of automatic transmission clutch cause the interlock point position of clutch unfixing, the clutch charge pressure also can change, so detection and the problem of adaptive regulation of automatic transmission clutch interlock point need to be resolved hurrily in addition.

Embodiment
The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with drawings and the specific embodiments.
In the working procedure of vehicular clutch, clutch is finished Oil feeding process three times: the clutch pre-oiling, so that clutch its oil circuit control when the pre-oiling state is filled full oil, and active part does not contact with secondary part; For the second time oil-filled, so that clutch arrives the interlock dotted state by the pre-oiling state; After releasing of brake, clutch is carried out oil-filledly for the third time, so that clutch is finished engaging process, begin to transmit Engine torque.Need among the present invention solenoidoperated cluthes never linkage status arrive the interlock point, therefore need solenoidoperated cluthes pre-oiling force value and charge pressure value for the second time.
In the unworn situation of clutch, can carry out first collection and the staking-out work of following parameter, this work for example can be carried out before vehicle dispatches from the factory.At first can demarcate unworn clutch pre-oiling pressure value P 1, so that clutch its oil circuit control when the pre-oiling state is filled full oil, and active part does not contact with secondary part, and motor is for keeping idle its output torque constant, and record engine output torque at this moment is T1.Then clutch is carried out oil-filled its arrival interlock point that makes second time.Clutch is being carried out in the Oil feeding process second time, and along with the clutch pressure value constantly increases, the active part of clutch begins to contact the generation sliding friction with secondary part, and motor also can increase output torque accordingly for continuing to keep idle.Record this process long t consuming time, clutch clutch pressure value P2 and motor the second output torque value T2 when arriving the interlock point, thereby clutch pressure value added DeltaP=P2-P1, clutch pressure variance ratio GradP=(P2-P1)/t and engine output torque when calibrating clutch and arriving the interlock point by the pre-oiling state increase calibration value DeltaT=T2-T1.
In fact, the engine output torque of clutch when never linkage status arrives interlock point position increases calibration value DeltaT and can be considered as a constant fixed value, therefore can increase calibration value DeltaT according to engine output torque and judge whether clutch arrives an interlock point position.
For the clutch Oil feeding process; clutch pressure changes too fast meeting and causes engine misses; clutch pressure changed can cause the clutch slip friction seriously slowly; therefore; in the actual design of vehicle; clutch pressure variance ratio GradP usually can be set as one and demarcate good fixed value, to avoid the problems referred to above.Therefore in fact can be considered as be a substantially invariable amount to described clutch pressure variance ratio GradP=DeltaP/t, so just can by control for the second time oil-filled long t consuming time obtain required clutch pressure value added DeltaP=GradP*t, thereby obtain needed clutch pressure value P2=P1+DeltaP.
By transmission control unit record described clutch pre-oiling pressure value P 1 and the described second time oil-filled long t consuming time, thereby when solenoidoperated cluthes arrive the interlock dotted state by not linking, at first finish pre-oiling with described pre-oiling pressure value P 1 solenoidoperated cluthes, then solenoidoperated cluthes are oil-filled with the second time that described clutch pressure variance ratio GradP carries out duration t, can be so that clutch arrives the interlock point.Certainly, in another embodiment, transmission control unit also can directly record clutch pressure value added DeltaP, and solenoidoperated cluthes pressure reaches P2=P1+DeltaP in second time Oil feeding process, can be so that clutch arrives the interlock point.
After clutch in use produced wearing and tearing, clutch arrived the required clutch pressure value P2 of interlock dotted state and can change.The present inventor is by the research discovery, although clutch pressure value P2 can change, in fact clutch abrasion or other factors are mainly reflected on the pre-oiling pressure value P 1 impact of clutch pressure.That is to say, if can accurately determine along with the wearing and tearing of clutch a new suitable pre-oiling pressure value P 1, so after the clutch pre-oiling is finished, in second time Oil feeding process, as long as so that the clutch pressure value increases DeltaP, then can be so that clutch arrives the interlock dotted state.
Figure 1 shows that unworn automatic transmission clutch is by the pressure variation to the interlock point of linkage status not.Clutch is finished pre-oiling from-0.5s during to 0s among Fig. 1, so that when 0s, fill full oil in the oil circuit control of clutch; Then be the aforesaid second time of oil-filled duration t from 0s to 0.5s() between clutch is carried out oil-filledly making it arrive the interlock point second time.By can finding out among Fig. 1 because the pre-oiling force value is suitable, therefore when for the second time oil-filled beginning along with the continuous increase of clutch pressure value, the engine output torque value also increases thereupon.As shown in fig. 1, the engine output torque value is 2Nm when pre-oiling is finished, and the oil-filled rear engine output torque value of finishing is 10Nm for the second time, and the engine output torque value added is 8Nm in the Oil feeding process for the second time.Clutch is under the interlock dotted state, and the active part of clutch and secondary part can engage fast behind the releasing of brake, thereby can start fast vehicle.
Along with increasing of clutch access times, clutch occurs causing clutch linkage point position to change after the wearing and tearing, carry out after the pre-oiling with 1 pair of clutch of described pre-oiling pressure value P, may not fill up oil in the oil circuit control of clutch, also might fill up already oil and active part has begun to contact with secondary part, will cause like this with described duration t(be among Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 from 0s to 0.5s) to clutch carry out the second time oil-filled after, clutch does not also arrive interlock point position as shown in Figure 2, might cross already as shown in Figure 3 interlock point position yet.Therefore, after each transmission control unit powers on, the pre-oiling pressure value P 1 of regulating clutch by carrying out following regulating step, can adapt to the current behaviour in service of clutch:
Step a carries out pre-oiling according to current clutch pre-oiling pressure value P 1 solenoidoperated cluthes;
Step b carries out the second time with described duration t solenoidoperated cluthes oil-filled, obtains for the second time engine output torque value added DeltaT2 in the Oil feeding process;
Step c, relatively whether DeltaT2 increases calibration value DeltaT with default engine output torque and equates, if equal or error then finishes regulating step in the predictive error scope; Otherwise change pre-oiling pressure value P 1; Particularly, judge the size of DeltaT2 and DeltaT, if DeltaT2<DeltaT then continues steps d; If DeltaT2〉DeltaT then continues step e;
Steps d increases the predetermined steps long value as new pre-oiling pressure value P 1 with pre-oiling pressure value P 1, and then repeating step a is to step c;
Step e reduces the predetermined steps long value as new pre-oiling pressure value P 1 with pre-oiling pressure value P 1, and then repeating step a is to step c.
Wherein, described default step value is specifically as follows 0.1bar.Described default margin of error is specially ± and 10%.Certainly, described default step value and described default margin of error all can be other numerical value, to adapt to different degrees of regulation.
Take Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 as example, default engine output torque increases calibration value DeltaT=8Nm, and then the engine output torque value added shown in Fig. 1 equates with DeltaT, does not need to adjust pre-oiling pressure value P 1.Engine output torque value added shown in Fig. 2 is less than 8Nm, need to increase pre-oiling pressure value P 1, so that clutch can arrive the interlock point after oil-filled through the second time of fixing duration t, thereby clutch can engage fast after Panasonic's brake, reduces the race of engine time.Engine output torque value added shown in Fig. 3 need to reduce pre-oiling pressure value P 1 greater than 8Nm, avoids too much causing engine output torque excessive because clutch engages, and wastes energy, and also avoids further aggravating the wearing and tearing of clutch.
By the clutch pre-oiling pressure value P 1 after the adjustment of transmission control unit record, and come solenoidoperated cluthes to finish pre-oiling with the pre-oiling pressure value P 1 after adjusting, so that pre-oiling is just filled full oil in the oil circuit control of clutch after finishing, and then can arrive an interlock point position by solenoidoperated cluthes.Because the state of wear of vehicle clutch in running can not be estimated, therefore can't adapt to various states with predefined pre-oiling force value, and according to above-mentioned set-up procedure at any time clutch pre-oiling force value is adjusted the clutch pre-oiling force value that can obtain to be fit to current state, the working life that reduces wear to improve clutch.
It will be appreciated that, the method of previously described adjusting clutch pre-oiling pressure value P 1 is not only applicable in the automatic transmission clutch controlling method among the present invention, and goes for regulating in other clutch control method clutch pre-oiling force value.
Above embodiment only is used for technological scheme of the present invention is described, is not limited to protection scope of the present invention.The modification that those skilled in the art can carry out technological scheme of the present invention or equal the replacement, and do not break away from the spirit and scope of technical solution of the present invention.
