Automatic transmission clutch controlling method
Technical field
The present invention relates to 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 start transmitting torque or the very little position (this moment of torsion is not enough to overcome vehicle travel resistance makes vehicle travel) of transmitting torque, now the active part of clutch and secondary part produce sliding friction.Before vehicle travels, if by the position of Clutch Control at interlock point, after brake is unclamped, vehicle just can start very soon, reduces the response time that vehicle travels.The interlock point of clutch detects has important impact to the quick response of vehicle start, if clutch linkage point detects inaccuracy, then can cause that clutch abrasion is serious, vehicle oil consumption increases, vehicle start has the problems such as impact.
Automatic transmission clutch does not have clutch position sensor, therefore cannot direct-detection clutch linkage point.In addition due to the factor such as wearing and tearing of automatic transmission clutch, cause the interlock of clutch point position not fixed, clutch charge pressure also can change, therefore the detection of automatic transmission clutch interlock point and problem of adaptive regulation urgently to be resolved hurrily.

Embodiment
Below in conjunction with drawings and the specific embodiments, the present invention is described in detail.
In the working procedure of vehicular clutch, clutch completes three Oil feeding process: clutch pre-oiling, make clutch its oil circuit control when pre-oiling state fill full oil, and active part does not contact with secondary part; Second time is oil-filled, makes clutch arrive interlock dotted state by pre-oiling state; After releasing of brake, carried out to clutch third time oil-filled, make clutch complete engaging process, start to transmit Engine torque.Need solenoidoperated cluthes never linkage status arrival interlock point in the present invention, therefore need solenoidoperated cluthes pre-oiling force value and second time charge pressure value.
In the unworn situation of clutch, first can carry out collection and the staking-out work of following parameter, this working examples as carried out before vehicle release.First unworn clutch pre-oiling pressure value P 1 can be demarcated, clutch its oil circuit control when pre-oiling state is made to fill full oil, and active part does not contact with secondary part, motor is for keeping its output torque idle constant, and record engine output torque is now T1.Then clutch is carried out to second time is oil-filled makes it arrive interlock point.Carrying out in second time Oil feeding process to clutch, along with clutch pressure value constantly increases, active part and the secondary part of clutch start to contact generation sliding friction, and motor also can increase output torque accordingly for continuing to keep idle.Record this process clutch pressure value P2 when arriving interlock point of long t consuming time, clutch and motor second output torque value T2, thus clutch pressure value added DeltaP=P2-P1, clutch pressure variance ratio GradP=(P2-P1)/t and the engine output torque calibrated when clutch arrives interlock point by pre-oiling state increases 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 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 clutch Oil feeding process; clutch pressure changes too fast meeting and causes engine misses; clutch pressure changed can cause clutch slip friction seriously slowly; therefore; in the actual design of vehicle; clutch pressure variance ratio GradP can be set as a fixed value of having demarcated usually, to avoid the problems referred to above.Therefore in fact described clutch pressure variance ratio GradP=DeltaP/t can be considered as being a substantially invariable amount, so just can by control second time oil-filled institute long t consuming time obtain required clutch pressure value added DeltaP=GradP*t, thus acquisition required for clutch pressure value P2=P1+DeltaP.
By clutch pre-oiling pressure value P 1 described in transmission control unit record and the oil-filled long t consuming time of described second time, thus when solenoidoperated cluthes arrive interlock dotted state by not linking, first pre-oiling is completed with described pre-oiling pressure value P 1 solenoidoperated cluthes, then the solenoidoperated cluthes second time of carrying out duration t with described clutch pressure variance ratio GradP is oil-filled, and clutch can be made to arrive 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, and clutch can be made to arrive interlock point.
After clutch in use produces wearing and tearing, clutch arrives the clutch pressure value P2 of interlock needed for dotted state and can change.Present inventor is found by research, although clutch pressure value P2 can change, in fact clutch abrasion or other factors are mainly reflected in pre-oiling pressure value P 1 impact of clutch pressure.That is, if accurately can determine a new suitable pre-oiling pressure value P 1 along with the wearing and tearing of clutch, so after clutch pre-oiling completes, in second time Oil feeding process, as long as make clutch pressure value increase DeltaP, then clutch can be made to arrive interlock dotted state.
Figure 1 shows that unworn automatic transmission clutch is by the not linkage status pressure variation to interlock point.Time in Fig. 1 from-0.5s to 0s, pre-oiling is completed to clutch, make in the oil circuit control of the clutch when 0s, to fill full oil; Then the duration t that namely aforesaid second time is oil-filled from 0s to 0.5s() between clutch carried out to second time is oil-filled makes it arrive interlock point.As can be seen from Fig. 1, because pre-oiling force value is suitable, therefore second time is oil-filled start time along with the continuous increase of clutch pressure value, engine output torque value also increases thereupon.As shown in Figure 1, when pre-oiling completes, engine output torque value is 2Nm, and the oil-filled rear engine output torque value that completes of second time is 10Nm, and in second time Oil feeding process, engine output torque value added is 8Nm.Under clutch is in interlock dotted state, after releasing of brake, the active part of clutch and secondary part can engage fast, thus can start vehicle fast.
Along with increasing of clutch access times, clutch causes clutch linkage point position to change after there are wearing and tearing, after carrying out pre-oiling with described pre-oiling pressure value P 1 pair of clutch, oil may do not filled up in the oil circuit control of clutch, also likely oil is filled up already and active part and secondary part have started to contact, will cause like this with in described duration t(and Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 from 0s to 0.5s) to clutch carry out second time oil-filled after, likely clutch does not also arrive interlock point position as shown in Figure 2, also interlock point position has likely been crossed as shown in Figure 3 already.Therefore, after each transmission control unit powers on, regulate the pre-oiling pressure value P 1 of clutch by performing following regulating step, so that the current behaviour in service of clutch can be adapted to:
Step a, carries out pre-oiling according to current clutch pre-oiling pressure value P 1 solenoidoperated cluthes;
Step b, carries out second time with described duration t solenoidoperated cluthes oil-filled, obtains engine output torque value added DeltaT2 in second time Oil feeding process;
Step c, comparing DeltaT2 whether equal with the engine output torque preset if increasing calibration value DeltaT, if equal or error, within the scope of predictive error, terminates regulating step; Otherwise change pre-oiling pressure value P 1; Particularly, judge the size of DeltaT2 and DeltaT, if DeltaT2<DeltaT, continue steps d; If DeltaT2>DeltaT, continue step e;
Steps d, increases predetermined steps long value as new pre-oiling pressure value P 1 using pre-oiling pressure value P 1, then repeat step a to step c;
Step e, reduces predetermined steps long value as new pre-oiling pressure value P 1 using pre-oiling pressure value P 1, then repeat step a 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 can be all other numerical value, to adapt to different degrees of regulation.
For Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, presetting engine output torque increases calibration value DeltaT=8Nm, then the engine output torque value added shown in Fig. 1 is equal with DeltaT, does not need adjustment 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, to make clutch after the second time of fixing duration t is oil-filled can arrive interlock point, thus after Panasonic's brake, clutch can engage fast, reduces the race of engine time.Engine output torque value added shown in Fig. 3 is greater than 8Nm, needs to reduce pre-oiling pressure value P 1, avoids too much causing engine output torque excessive because clutch engages, and wastes energy, also avoids the wearing and tearing aggravating clutch further.
By the clutch pre-oiling pressure value P 1 after the adjustment of transmission control unit record, and carry out solenoidoperated cluthes complete pre-oiling with the pre-oiling pressure value P 1 after adjustment, after pre-oiling is completed clutch oil circuit control in just fill full oil, and then an interlock point position can be arrived by solenoidoperated cluthes.Because the state of wear of vehicle clutch in running can not be estimated, therefore cannot with the pre-oiling force value preset to adapt to various state, and according to above-mentioned set-up procedure carrying out adjusting to clutch pre-oiling force value and can obtain the clutch pre-oiling force value of applicable current state at any time, reduce wear the working life of improving clutch.
It will be appreciated that, the method of previously described adjustment clutch pre-oiling pressure value P 1 is not only applicable in the automatic transmission clutch controlling method in the present invention, and goes in other clutch control method, regulate clutch pre-oiling force value.
Above embodiment only for illustration of technological scheme of the present invention, is not limited to protection scope of the present invention.The amendment that those skilled in the art can carry out technological scheme of the present invention or replace on an equal basis, and do not depart from the spirit and scope of technical solution of the present invention.
