Fig. 2 is the block diagram of vehicle transmission system 200.Transmission system 200 can drive by driving engine 10.The engine starting system that can show by Fig. 1 or via DISG240 fire an engine 10.In addition, driving engine 10 can pass through torque drive device 204(such as fuel injector, throttle gate etc.) produce or adjusting moment of torsion.

Engine output torque can transfer to the input side of double mass flywheel 232.Engine speed and double mass flywheel input side position and rotating speed can be determined by engine position sensor 118.Double mass flywheel 232 can comprise that spring and independent quality (not shown) are for suppressing driveline torque disturbance.The outgoing side of double mass flywheel 232 is shown as the input side that is mechanically attached to cut-off clutch 236.Can drive electrically or hydraulically cut-off clutch 236.Position transduser 234 is arranged on outgoing position and the rotating speed with induction double mass flywheel 232 in cut-off clutch one side of double mass flywheel 232.The downstream of cut-off clutch 236 is shown as and is mechanically attached to DISG input shaft 237.

Can turn round DISG240 to provide moment of torsion to be converted to the electric energy being stored in electrical energy storage device 275 to transmission system 200 or by driveline torque.DISG240 has higher horsepower output capacity (power capacity) than the starter 96 showing in Fig. 1.In addition, DISG240 directly drive transmission system 200 or be transmitted be 200 directly drive.Do not have band, gear or chain that DISG240 is connected to transmission system 200.But DISG240 rotates with identical speed with transmission system 200.Electrical energy storage device 275 can be battery, cond or inducer.The downstream of DISG240 is mechanically attached to the pump impeller 285 of tor-con 206 via axle 241.The upstream side of DISG240 is mechanically attached to cut-off clutch 236.Tor-con 206 comprises the turbine 286 of input torque to input shaft 270.Input 270 is mechanically connected to automatic transmission with hydraulic torque converter 208 by tor-con 206.Tor-con 206 can comprise can be by the power transmission (PTO) of driveline torque directed outwards or auxiliary mechanical load 252.PTO251 can be positioned at the pump impeller side of tor-con or the turbo-side of tor-con.In some instances, PTO can be included in automatic transmission with hydraulic torque converter 208.PTO251 can also comprise reverse gear 287.

Tor-con 206 also comprises tor-con bypass lock-up clutch (TCC) 212.When TCC locks, moment of torsion directly transfers to turbine 286 from pump impeller 285.By controller 12 electric operating TCC.Alternately, can hydraulic locking TCC.In one example, tor-con can refer to the parts of change-speed box.Can determine torque converter turbine rotating speed and position by position transduser 239.In some instances, 238 and/or 239 can be torque sensors or can be knockdown position and torque sensor.

When torque converter lockup power-transfer clutch 212 separates completely, tor-con 206 transfers to automatic transmission with hydraulic torque converter 208 by the Fluid Transport between torque converter turbine 286 and converter pump 285 by engine torque, thereby can amplify moment of torsion.On the contrary, when torque converter lockup power-transfer clutch 212 engages completely, by converter clutch, engine output torque is directly transferred to the input shaft 270 of change-speed box 208.Alternately, torque converter lockup power-transfer clutch 212 can be partly engaged, thereby the torque capacity that directly transfers to change-speed box can be regulated.Controller 12 is configurable for by regulating in response to multiple engine operating conditions or (driver-based) engine running request based on based on chaufeur the torque capacity transmitting by change-speed box 212.

Mechanical load 252 can be the Hydraulic Pump of the rise of running Snow shoveling device or truck mixer.Alternately, mechanical load 252 can be the mechanical device of rotation.Mechanical load controller 253 can communicate by letter via sensor 254, to provide position, rotating speed and the torque information of mechanical load 252 by communicating to connect 291 with controller 12.Sensor 254 provides position and rotary speed information to transmission information to the mechanical load controller 253 of controller 12 correspondingly to make to control PTO.

Automatic transmission with hydraulic torque converter 208 comprises gear power-transfer clutch (for example gear 1-6) 211 and forward clutch 210.Can optionally engage gear power-transfer clutch 211 and forward clutch 210 with propelled vehicles.Thereby the moment of torsion output from automatic transmission with hydraulic torque converter 208 can transfer to trailing wheel 216 with propelled vehicles via output shaft 260.Particularly, before output driving torque transfers to trailing wheel 216, automatic transmission with hydraulic torque converter 208 can be at input shaft 270 place's transmission responses in the input driving torque of traveling state of vehicle.Moment of torsion can also be via part-time case 261 guide front wheels 217.

In addition, by engaging car side brake 218, can also apply friction force to wheel 216.In one example, in response to chaufeur, with his pin, jam on brake pedal (not shown) and can engage car side brake 218.In other example, controller 12 or the controller that is connected to controller 12 can apply for engaging car side brake.Equally, in response to chaufeur, his pin can be decreased to by separating car side brake 218 to the friction force of wheel 216 from brake pedal release.In addition,, as a part for engine automatic stop program, car brake can apply friction force to wheel 216 via controller 12.

Mechanical oil pump 214 can be communicated with to provide hydraulic pressure with automatic transmission with hydraulic torque converter 208 fluids and engage multiple change-speed boxs, such as forward clutch 210, gear power-transfer clutch 211 and/or torque converter lockup power-transfer clutch 212.For example, mechanical oil pump 214 can turn round according to tor-con 206, and can via input shaft 241, drive by the rotation of driving engine or DISG.Thereby the hydraulic pressure producing in mechanical oil pump 214 can increase with the increase of engine speed and/or DISG rotating speed, and can reducing and reduce with engine speed and/or DISG rotating speed.

Controller 12 is configurable for receiving the input from driving engine 10 the correspondingly moment of torsion output of control engine and/or the running of tor-con, change-speed box, DISG, power-transfer clutch and/or drg that show more in detail as Fig. 1.As an example, can be by regulating spark timing, fuel pulse width, fuel impulse timing and/or charge of air (by controlling throttle opening and/or valve timing, amount of valve lift) and the control engine moment of torsion output for the combination of the supercharging of turbine or mechanically-sapercharged engine.The in the situation that of diesel motor, controller 12 can be by controlling fuel pulse width, fuel impulse timing and the output of charge of air control engine moment of torsion.In all situations, can with control engine moment of torsion, export by cylinder basis (cylinder-by-cylinderbasis) upper engine control of carrying out.As known in the art, controller 12 can also flow to or the electric current that flows magnetic field (field) from DISG and/or armature loop is controlled moment of torsion output and the electric energy that DISG produces by adjusting.

When meeting idle stop (idle-stop) situation, controller 12 can be initiated engine stop by the fuel and the spark that stop to driving engine.But driving engine can continue rotation in some instances.In addition, in order to maintain a certain amount of torque in change-speed box, thereby controller 12 can be fixed on the turning unit of change-speed box 208 on the housing 259 of change-speed box and be fixed on vehicle frame.Especially, as US Patent, (application number is 12/833788, name is called the method for self-braking driving engine " control can ", be incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for intentional and object) describe, controller 12 can engage one or more transmission clutchs (such as forward clutch 210), and the transmission clutch of locking joint is to housing 259 and the vehicle frame of change-speed box.Can change the pressure of (for example increasing) transmission clutch to regulate the engagement state of transmission clutch, and the transmission torque of hope is provided.

During engine shutdown can also regulate car side brake pressure with secondary locking (tie up) change-speed box when the moment of torsion that reduces to transmit by wheel based on transmission clutch pressure.Particularly, when locking the transmission clutch of one or more joints, pass through application car side brake 218, can on change-speed box, apply contrary power, and be therefore applied on transmission system, thereby keep transmission gear to have the initiative engaging and transmission gear train in potential rotating energy, and mobile wheel not.In one example, at during engine shutdown, can regulate car side brake pressure to coordinate the locking of the application of car brake and the transmission clutch of joint.Like this, by regulating car side brake pressure and clutch pressure, when engine shutdown, can regulate the amount of torque retaining in change-speed box.When meeting while restarting situation and/or when vehicle driver wants to start vehicle, controller 12 can be restarted driving engine by recovering combusted cylinder.

With reference now to Fig. 3,, shown the second example vehicle transmission system configuration.The element that has a same numeral with the element in Fig. 2 in transmission system 300 is identical element by the running of describing in Fig. 2.So, for succinct object, dispense the description of element general between Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.The description of Fig. 3 is limited to the element different from element in Fig. 2.

Transmission system 300 comprises double-clutch-two layshaft gearbox 308.Change-speed box 308 is the hand-operated transmission automatically turning round in essence.Controller 12 turn round first clutch 310, second clutch 314, and travel mechanism 315 for example, to select between gear (1-5 gear) 317.Optionally open and close first clutch 310 and second clutch 314 are with gearshift between gear 317.Output shaft 260 transfers to wheel 216 by moment of torsion from change-speed box 308.

With reference now to Fig. 4,, shown the diagram of circuit of the exemplary method of the transmission system for controlling motor vehicle driven by mixed power.In the non-transient memory device of the controller 12 that the method in Fig. 4 can show in the system of Fig. 1-3, be stored as executable instruction.

At 401 places, method 400 is determined vehicle working condition.Vehicle working condition can include but not limited to the speed of a motor vehicle, brake pedal position, engine speed, engine load, 4x4 preference pattern, 4x2 preference pattern, vehicle chassis information (for example analysis of wheel vertical turns round, goes off course, jolts and waves) and the track gradient.After determining vehicle working condition, method 400 advances to 402.

At 402 places, method 400 judges whether to receive to PTO running request.The peripheral control unit that can communicate by letter by vehicle driver or with the power drive system controller 12 showing in Fig. 1-3 is made PTO running request.PTO running request indication wishes external loading to receive power from driving engine 10 and/or motor 240.If method 400 judges, make PTO running request, if answer is to be, method 400 advances to 412 of Fig. 5.Otherwise, method for otherwise method 400 advances to 403.

With reference now to Fig. 5,, method 400 judges that at 412 places PTO running request is still-mode or the transportable non-silent mode of vehicle for vehicle parking.For not needing mobile external loading, still-mode is useful.In still-mode, PTO rotating speed can be asked the fixed rotating speed (for example 540RPM) into the control command via for example, from external loading device (hydraulic pump control device) or chaufeur input when vehicle stop and/or while parking).In non-silent mode, PTO rotating speed may change with engine/motor rotating speed and the speed of a motor vehicle.Thereby moment of torsion can provide to PTO and the prime power of vehicle is provided.If method 400 judgement request still-modes, answer is for being that method 400 advances to 413.Otherwise, answer for otherwise method 400 advances to 424.

At 413 places, method 400 judges whether to select pure DISG or motor PTO pattern.In pure DISG or motor PTO pattern, only by DISG rather than driving engine, to PTO, provide moment of torsion.This running allows PTO with reverse and forward running.If the PTO pattern of pure DISG is selected in method 400 judgement, answer is for being that method 400 advances to 414.Otherwise answer is otherwise method 400 advances to 434 of Fig. 6.

At 434 places, the closed transmission system cut-off clutch of method 400 mechanically links together driving engine and DISG.Driving engine or DISG can optionally stop using when driveline clutch is closed.After closed cut-off clutch, method 400 advances to 435.

At 435 places, method 400 judges that whether driving engine export higher than the threshold value torque range of threshold value torque level or alternately within the scope of it.If engine output torque higher than threshold value torque range or within, answer is for being that method 400 advances to 437.Otherwise, answer for otherwise method advances to 436.For example, if engine torque is 100 Nms (N-m), threshold value torque range is ± 10N-m, and threshold value moment of torsion is 108N-m, and answer is for being that method 400 advances to 437.

At 437 places, method 400 regulates engine torque and DISG moment of torsion so that the PTO rotating speed of hope to be provided.In one example, regulate engine loading to threshold level (for example maximum engine torque 90%) and subsequently DISG output torque the PTO of the hope level of rotating speed that provides is provided.If DISG output torque is in maximum horizontal and PTO rotating speed is less than the PTO rotating speed of hope, at current PTO rotating speed place, engine torque can be increased to maximum horizontal.After regulating driving engine and DISG moment of torsion, method 400 advances to 404 of Fig. 4.

In other example, when battery charge state (SOC) is higher than threshold level, before enabling driving engine DISG can output torque to threshold level.In addition, when PTO in still-mode and PTO torque demand driving engine can charging vehicle battery and provide electrical power to the electric network of vehicle while being less than available engine output torque.Thereby driving engine can drive PTO while DISG that engine torque is converted to electric energy with charging vehicle battery.

At 436 places, method 400 regulates engine torque so that the PTO rotating speed inactive DISG simultaneously of hope to be provided.Alternately, can be in providing current to the power generation mode of Vehicular battery at 436 DISG of place.Can keep PTO rotating speed by the controller 12 of determining the error between PTO rotating speed and the PTO rotating speed of reality of wishing.If actual PTO rotating speed is less than the PTO rotating speed of hope, can further opens engine air throttle to increase engine torque, thereby increase PTO rotating speed.If actual PTO rotating speed is higher than the PTO rotating speed of hope, can such as, by least one in multiple actuators (throttle gate, cam timing, waste gate, fuel injector, spark timing etc.), reduces engine torque, thereby reduce PTO rotating speed.After regulating engine torque, method 400 advances to 404 of Fig. 4.

Return to now Fig. 5, at 414 prescribing methods 400, judge that whether battery charge state (SOC) is higher than threshold level.In one example, can estimate threshold value state-of-charge by measuring cell pressure.If battery charge is higher than threshold level, answer is for being that method 400 advances to 417.Otherwise, answer for otherwise method 400 advances to 415.In one example, threshold value state-of-charge is the charged level of minimum that does not occur deterioration of battery.

At 415 places, method 400 indicates imminent DISG to shut down.Can pass through light, display panel or voice actr indication DISG shuts down.Can higher than 414 places, mention at battery charge state the charged level of threshold value time the indication of imminent shutdown is provided.Alternately, fire an engine automatically when battery charge is decreased to threshold level and PTO and remains in operation.

At 416 places, method 400 stops to PTO, providing moment of torsion by DISG.The mode slope that can control declines (ramp down) DISG moment of torsion to avoid the rapid change of PTO moment of torsion.Method 400 advances to 404 of Fig. 4.

At 417 places, method 400 is opened transmission system cut-off clutch.The transmission system cut-off clutch of opening automatically separates driving engine from DISG.Thereby DISG can provide moment of torsion to PTO and not have owing to rotating the loss that driving engine of burned air-fuel mixture does not cause.Because PTO is in still-mode, the most of torque transfer that provide by DISG are to PTO.After opening cut-off clutch, method 400 advances to 418.

At 429 places, method 400 judgements do not have DISG to provide positive-torque to the situation of transmission system, and whether driving engine the torque capacity of the wheel torque of the hope of providing and the extra preset torque amount of rotation PTO is provided separately.In one example, can the wheel torque of hope be converted to by considering change-speed box transmission and loss to the engine torque of hope.In one example, the available engine torque of reservation 25% is for PTO running.For example, if driving engine has the moment of torsion output capacity of 200N-m at specific rotation speeds place, can provide the engine torque of 150N-m to produce wheel torque.Retain remaining 50N-m and be used for providing PTO moment of torsion.But if the wheel torque of wishing is lower, PTO can receive the available engine output torque up to 75%.In one example, by the wheel torque of hope and available engine torque comparison.Available engine torque can be stored in memory device by engine speed index and with ambient air Auto-regulating System of Density of Heavy Medium or based on the present situation and hardware capabilities (hardware capability) and locate the value of the looking into table that the model of maximum engine torque calculates in real time.If available engine torque is higher than producing the engine torque of wheel torque of wishing, answer is for being that method 400 advances to 430.Otherwise, answer for otherwise method 400 advances to 431.Note, can the wheel torque of hope be converted to by considering transmission ratio and change-speed box loss to the engine torque of hope.

At 430 places, when PTO during when before driving external device (ED) method 400 regulate engine torque so that the wheel torque of hope to be provided.Owing to may not knowing to transfer to the engine torque amount of PTO, can determining, provide to the moment of torsion of PTO the engine torque that is added into hope so that the wheel torque of hope to be provided in some instances.In one example, can determine the moment of torsion providing to PTO from equation below:

Wherein Twheel is the wheel torque of wishing, Teng is the engine torque of wishing, Tpto is PTO moment of torsion, Tcmult is tor-con amplification rate, Tgear_ratio is current transmission ratio, Taxle_ratio is drive axle ratio (axle ratio), and Tdriveline_losses is the multiplier of reflection transmission system loss, and FGrade is the gradient multiplier of considering via the definite road gradient of banking inclinometer.The engine torque that can wish by mapping graph (map) estimation of the engine torque of engine speed and load index.Can estimate wheel torque from equation below:

Can determine by rule of thumb that tor-con amplification rate, transmitting ratio, axial ratio and driveline torque loss multiplier and the transmitting ratio based on engine speed, the speed of a motor vehicle, selection and other factors are from memory search.Can change vehicle mass and regulate vehicle inertia.

If the wheel torque of estimation is less than hope, the wheel torque that can extremely wish to increase actual wheel torque by the engine torque that regulates engine torque to increase hope.Like this, even if do not know that the torque capacity that PTO consumes also can increase engine torque so that the wheel torque of hope to be provided.Method 400 advances to 404 in Fig. 4.

Extraly, with vehicle with compared with the running of two-wheel drive or high speed gear scope four wheel drive, when vehicle can automatically start and stop driving engine at different operating mode places during in low speed four wheel drive pattern and need to only not have starting and/or stop the input of the special input of engine rotation from driver's operation.For example, with compared with two-wheel drive mode or high speed gear scope four wheel drive running vehicle, when in low speed 4 wheel driven pattern vehicle stop move after driving engine can continue the time period longer with tickover.After regulating tor-con input torque plan and driving engine operational plan for low speed gear scope four wheel drive, method 400 advances to 468.

At 468 places, when with low speed gear scope four wheel drive running vehicle, the specific battery charge state threshold value of method 400 instruction, can stop driving engine automatically at this battery charge state threshold value place.In one example, when with low speed gear scope four wheel drive running vehicle, can after reaching the first battery charge threshold value, battery charge state stop driving engine.In addition, when with two-wheel drive or high speed gear scope four wheel drive running vehicle, can after battery charge state reaches the second battery charge threshold value, stop driving engine, the second battery charge threshold value is lower than the first battery charge threshold value.When vehicle can automatically stop driving engine during in low speed gear scope four wheel drive after battery charge state reaches higher level, make to alleviate cut-off clutch and engage deteriorated with minimizing cut-off clutch with Fen Lis number of times.When not with low speed gear scope four wheel drive running vehicle, at lower battery charge state place, stop engine rotation and make the fuel that can consume still less carry out rechargeable battery.

In addition, with compared with high speed gear scope four wheel drive or two-wheel drive mode running vehicle, and with compared with low speed gear scope four wheel drive running vehicle, at 468 places, can and open transmission system cut-off clutch according to different plan closures.In one example, when with low speed gear scope four wheel drive running vehicle, transmission system cut-off clutch is kept closed and can optionally opens transmission system cut-off clutch when with high speed gear scope four wheel drive running vehicle and during two-wheel drive.In another example, when with low speed gear scope four wheel drive running vehicle, can after having stopped very first time amount, vehicle open transmission system cut-off clutch.On the contrary, when with two-wheel drive or high speed gear four wheel drive running vehicle, can after vehicle has stopped the second time quantum, open transmission system cut-off clutch, the second time quantum is less than very first time amount.After regulating cut-off clutch and engine automatic stop plan for low speed gear scope four wheel drive, method 400 advances to 410 of Fig. 4.

Return to Fig. 4, at 409 places, once method 400 allows DISG propelled vehicles not need to discharge car brake, fire an engine.In addition, DISG can propelled vehicles until threshold value vehicle torque demand and/or until battery SOC is decreased to threshold level.By with DISG and without driving engine propelled vehicles, can not need chaufeur input torque demand and allow vehicle slowly to travel with lower speed.DISG can propelled vehicles until threshold value wheel level torque more then fire an engine make DISG and driving engine provide moment of torsion to transmission system with the wheel torque of the hope of higher request.In other example, depend on battery SOC, once discharge car brake, DISG and driving engine can propelled vehicles.After allowing DISG rather than driving engine propelled vehicles after releasing brake device pedal, method 400 advances to 410.

At 410 places, method 400 judges whether to ask the manual control (for example vehicle driver's control) of driving engine, transmission system cut-off clutch and motor.Can input or make by switch or other known user interface by telltale the request of manual control.If the method 400 manual controls of judgement request to driving engine, transmission system cut-off clutch and motor, answer is to be that method 400 advances to 470 of Figure 10.Otherwise, answer for otherwise method 400 advances to 411.

Forward now Figure 10 to, method 400 judges whether the manual control of request to transmission system cut-off clutch at 470 places.In one example, method 400 can judge and wish cut-off clutch manually to control in response to chaufeur input.If method 400 judgement request or wish the manual control to transmission system cut-off clutch, answer is for being that method 400 advances to 471.Otherwise, answer for otherwise method 400 advances to 473.

At 471 places, method 400 judges that current whether request of chaufeur is locked in make position by cut-off clutch.Method 400 can determine that in response to the user's input from chaufeur request is locked in make position by transmission system cut-off clutch.If method 400 judgement wishes cut-off clutch to be locked in make position, answer is for being that method 400 advances to 472.Otherwise, answer for otherwise method 400 advances to 473.If method 400 advances to 473, automatically turn round transmission system cut-off clutch and in response to concrete chaufeur request, do not carry out open and close transmission system cut-off clutch.

At 472 places, the closed transmission system cut-off clutch of method 400 also allows it be locked in closure state until chaufeur is removed the manual control to transmission system cut-off clutch.Mechanically connecting engine and DISG of closed transmission system cut-off clutch, but when closed transmission system cut-off clutch, can stop using DSIG and/or driving engine.After closed transmission system cut-off clutch, method 400 advances to 473.

At 473 places, method 400 judges whether to ask pure DISG running.In pure DISG operation mode, by stopping the fuel flow direction engine driving engine of stopping using.Throttle gate the adjusting cam timing/lift of can also killing engine when driving engine is stopped using to lower Volumetric efficiency is passed through driving engine to increase pumping loss and to reduce air-flow.Alternately, can open out the throttle and adjusting cam timing/lift to higher Volumetric efficiency to reduce driving engine pumping loss.Can manually select pure DISG running by chaufeur.If ask pure DISG pattern, answer is for being that method 400 advances to 474.Otherwise, answer for otherwise method 400 advances to 478.

At 474 places, method 400 is opened transmission system cut-off clutch to reduce rotational loss, thereby increases the amount of the energy that can be used for propelled vehicles.If manual closing transmission system cut-off clutch, can forbid entering pure DISG pattern.After having opened transmission system cut-off clutch, method 400 advances to 475.

At 475 places, method 400 judges whether battery SOC is less than threshold value SOC.In one example, threshold value SOC is the level that permission is restarted driving engine by DISG or another kind of starter.Can determine battery SOC from cell pressure.If method 400 judges battery SOC and be less than threshold value SOC, answer is for being that method 400 advances to 476.Otherwise, answer for otherwise method 400 advances to 480.

At 476 places, method 400 is restarted driving engine.Restarting driving engine makes DISG to absorb moment of torsion and to produce the pattern of electric energy for storage battery from providing positive-torque to transmission system to change into from transmission system.In other example, after the indication that provides DISG to be about to close to chaufeur, directly close DISG and inoperative driving engine.After restarting driving engine, method 400 advances to 477.

At 477 places, method 400 is changed into electric energy by DISG pattern and is provided the pattern to battery from DISG.But, if lacking moment of torsion, driving engine provides the moment of torsion of chaufeur request, to chaufeur, provide the disabled indication of DISG.Otherwise driving engine provides moment of torsion and passes through DISG rechargeable battery based on driver torque request.After changing DISG pattern, method 400 advances to 480.

At 478 places, method 400 judges the whether pure engine mode of manual request of chaufeur.In pure engine mode, closed transmission system cut-off clutch and DISG do not provide positive-torque to transmission system.But in some instances, DISG can provide negative torque to transmission system with storage battery and provide electrical power to the electric network of vehicle.If the manually pure engine mode of request of chaufeur, answer is for being that method 400 advances to 479.Otherwise, answer for otherwise method 400 advances to 480.

At 479 places, the inactive DISG of method 400 provides positive-torque to transmission system.But in some instances, DISG can will be converted to electric energy with charging vehicle battery and provide electrical power to the electric network of vehicle from the rotating energy of driving engine.After inactive DISG, method 400 advances to 480.

At 480 places, method 400 judges whether to ask to enter the slow request of falling pattern (hill decent mode) in abrupt slope.In some instances, replace or fall pattern except abrupt slope is slow, upward slope pattern (hill assent mode) can also be provided at 480 places.Slow the falling in pattern on abrupt slope, driving engine and DISG are can be than vehicle unslow in abrupt slope provides higher levels of car brakeing while falling pattern.Can manually input the slow request of falling pattern in abrupt slope that enters by chaufeur.Alternately, when vehicle banking inclinometer indication can enter the slow pattern of falling in abrupt slope during than the steeper negative track gradient of threshold value negative slope.If request for the slow request of falling pattern in abrupt slope, answer is for being that method 400 advances to 481.Otherwise, answer for otherwise method 400 advances to 482.Comprising in the example of upward slope pattern, transmission system cut-off clutch in a similar fashion turns round.

At 481 places, the closed cut-off clutch of method 400 is with mechanically connecting engine and DISG and by increasing Jake brake and DISG braking increases car brakeing.In one example, by regulating engine valve timing to increase Jake brake.By allowing more field current to provide to DISG, increase DISG braking.In one example, in response to the track gradient, regulate the speed of DISG braking and Jake brake.For example, if think that pavement of road is more smooth than threshold value, can reduce the speed of DISG and Jake brake.After regulating DISG and Jake brake, method 400 advances to 482.

At 482 places, method 400 allows chaufeur manually to input engine stop condition.Extraly, method 400 stops driving engine in response to the stop condition of manually input.For example, vehicle reach may automatically stop after zero velocity before engine rotation chaufeur can input time section.In another example, chaufeur can be specified the threshold value battery SOC that can automatically stop engine rotation.In another example, chaufeur can specify driving engine when going up a slope or downward grades is steeper than designated value not stop.After permission chaufeur is manually inputted engine stop condition and after carrying out engine stop condition, method 400 advances to 483.

At 483 places, method 400 allows chaufeur manually to input DISG operation mode condition.In addition, method 400 in response to the condition of manually input the DISG that turns round.For example, chaufeur can be inputted lower than this level turns round DISG the wheel torque desired level of fuel to driving engine is not provided.In another example, chaufeur can specify higher than this threshold value moment of torsion DISG auxiliary engine the threshold value moment of torsion of the vehicle torque of hope is provided.In another example, chaufeur can specify DISG when battery SOC is less than chaufeur input level to provide electric energy to battery.Allow chaufeur manually to input method 400 after DISG operating condition and advance to 484.

At 484 places, method 400 allows chaufeur manually to input transmission system cut-off clutch open and close condition.For example, chaufeur can input in response to specific transmission system pattern (for example in 4x4 bottom gear pattern, keep cut-off clutch closed and in 4x2 and 4x4 top gear pattern closed cut-off clutch optionally) and the condition of closed transmission system cut-off clutch.In another example, chaufeur can be inputted the condition of closed transmission system cut-off clutch in response to engine idle time length.In another example, chaufeur can be specified closed transmission system cut-off clutch when battery SOC is less than chaufeur designated value.Allowing chaufeur manually to input method 400 after driving engine, transmission system cut-off clutch and motor control condition exits.

Return to now Fig. 4, method 400 is according to the automatic condition running engine of benchmark, transmission system cut-off clutch and the DISG that regulate.Particularly, except the specific driver in the above-mentioned part of input method 400 changes, driving engine, transmission system cut-off clutch and the DISG operating mode of reference calibration is the basis of running engine, transmission system cut-off clutch and DISG.For example, if chaufeur request PTO running and DISG running are until battery SOC reaches the level that chaufeur is specified, except vehicle when using the PTO pattern of DISG according to the condition running engine of reference calibration, transmission system cut-off clutch and DISG.According to method 400 after the benchmark operation mode condition running engine, transmission system cut-off clutch and the DISG that regulate, exit.

Thereby it is a kind of for regulating the method for running of motor vehicle driven by mixed power that the method in Fig. 4-10 provides, and comprises: automatically restart driving engine in response to the first situation when motor vehicle driven by mixed power turns round with four wheel drive low speed gear scope; And when not turning round with four wheel drive low speed gear scope, motor vehicle driven by mixed power automatically restarts driving engine in response to the second situation except the first situation.Method is included in during the second situation the inoperative driving engine in response to releasing brake device pedal, and during the first situation in response to releasing brake device pedal fire an engine.Like this, can regulate transmission system running in response to the quantity of active drive wheel.

With reference now to Figure 11,, shown that running comprises the anticipation exemplary sequence of the vehicle of PTO.The sequence of Figure 11 can be provided by the method in execution graph 4 in the system of Fig. 1-3.Figure 11 has shown that only DISG provides the PTO running example of moment of torsion to PTO.But in some instances, driving engine also can provide PTO moment of torsion.

The first width chart from Figure 11 top shows the PTO request with respect to the time.X-axis represents the time and the solicited status of Y-axis indication PTO running.The PTO signal designation of reduced levels does not have PTO running request.There is PTO running request in the PTO signal designation of higher level.Time increases to the right side of chart from the left side of chart.

The second width chart from Figure 11 top shows the battery charge state with respect to the time.X-axis represents the time and Y-axis pilot cell state-of-charge.Battery charge state increases towards the Y-axis direction of arrow.Time increases to the right side of chart from the left side of chart.The minimum battery SOC of horizon 1101 representative running DISG.

The 3rd width chart from Figure 11 top shows the PTO direction request with respect to the time.X-axis represents the time and Y-axis indication PTO direction solicited status.The PTO direction request signal indication of reduced levels is with positive dirction (for example, to right rotation) rotation PTO.The PTO direction request signal indication PTO of higher level for example, with opposite spin (PTO is to anticlockwise).Time increases to the right side of chart from the left side of chart.

The 4th width chart from Figure 11 top shows the hand of rotation with respect to the time.X-axis represents the time and Y-axis indication PTO direction.The PTO direction signal indication PTO of reduced levels is with positive dirction rotation (for example, to right rotation).The PTO direction signal indication PTO of higher level for example, with opposite spin (PTO is to anticlockwise).Time increases to the right side of chart from the left side of chart.

The 5th width chart from Figure 11 top shows the PTO moment of torsion with respect to the time.X-axis represents the time and Y-axis indication PTO output torque.The positive output torque of PTO increases towards the Y-axis direction of arrow.Time increases to the right side of chart from the left side of chart.In this example, because PTO provides moment of torsion to external device (ED), PTO output torque is independent of PTO hand of rotation and is just shown as always.

The 6th width chart from Figure 11 top shows the DISG moment of torsion with respect to the time.X-axis represents the time and Y-axis indication DISG output torque.The positive output torque of DISG increases towards the Y-axis direction of arrow.Time increases to the right side of chart from the left side of chart.In this example, because DISG provides moment of torsion to external device (ED) via PTO, DISG output torque is independent of PTO hand of rotation and is just shown as always.

In time T ₀place, PTO request does not have the low-level of PTO request and PTO output in indication.Battery charge state in indication PTO only in the relatively high level of battery-operated lower a period of time of can turning round.PTO direction request signal indication PTO when using PTO turns round with positive dirction.If PTO direction is also indicated and used, PTO will be rotated in the forward.Because PTO is not used PTO output torque in zero and IDSG moment of torsion is also shown as zero.

In time T ₁place, changes higher level in response to chaufeur or controller request PTO request signal and should use PTO with indication.PTO request signal can change in response to the chaufeur input for PTO output or controller request.Battery charge state starts slowly to reduce along with the increase of DISG output, thereby increases PTO moment of torsion.The PTO that the request of PTO direction is still indicated for positive dirction and as PTO direction chart is rotated in the forward.

In time T ₂place is reverse in response to chaufeur or the request of controller request PTO direction from positive transition.After reducing DISG and PTO moment of torsion, interior PTO direction of short time becomes oppositely to adapt to the change of PTO direction from forward.Reduce PTO and DISG moment of torsion to avoid producing torque disturbances to transmission system.Battery charge state continues along with remaining in operation of DISG to reduce.

In time T ₃place, still advocate PTO request, but battery SOC is decreased to the minimum state-of-charge 1101 that allows DISG running.So, in response to battery SOC, reduce DISG output torque and PTO moment of torsion.PTO direction and the request of PTO direction are still in reverse state.By slope, close (ramp off) DISG, can avoid deterioration of battery.

Like this, can turn round comprise DISG and PTO transmission system with provider to control.In addition, PTO be can limit and battery and/or the deteriorated possibility of DISG turned round to reduce.

With reference now to Figure 12,, shown that running comprises the anticipation exemplary sequence of the vehicle of 4x4 low speed gear range mode.The sequence of Figure 12 can be provided by the method for the system execution graph 4 of Fig. 1-3.

The first width chart from Figure 12 top shows the 4x4 low speed gear range of requests with respect to the time.X-axis represents the time and Y-axis represents 4x4 low speed gear range of requests state.The 4x4 low speed gear range signal indication of reduced levels does not have the running request of 4x4 low speed gear scope.There is the running request of 4x4 low speed gear scope in the 4x4 low speed gear range signal of higher level.Time increases to the right side of chart from the left side of chart.

The second width chart from Figure 12 top shows the wheel torque with respect to the hope of time.X-axis represents the time and the wheel torque of Y-axis representative hope.The wheel torque of wishing increases towards the Y-axis direction of arrow.Time increases to the right side of chart from the left side of chart.

The 3rd width chart from Figure 12 top shows the engine operating status with respect to the time.X-axis represents the time and Y-axis indication engine operating status.The engine running signal designation driving engine of reduced levels shuts down.The engine operating status signal designation driving engine of higher level rotates under himself power.Time increases to the right side of chart from the left side of chart.

The 4th width chart from Figure 12 top shows the car brake pedal state with respect to the time.X-axis represents the time and Y-axis indication brake pedal state.The brake pedal signal designation of reduced levels is not applied or releasing brake device pedal.The brake pedal signal designation brake application device pedal of higher level.Time increases to the right side of chart from the left side of chart.

The 5th width chart from Figure 12 top shows the engine torque with respect to the time.X-axis represents the time and Y-axis indication engine output torque.The positive output torque of driving engine increases towards the Y-axis direction of arrow.Time increases to the right side of chart from the left side of chart.

The 6th width chart from Figure 12 top shows the DISG moment of torsion with respect to the time.X-axis represents the time and Y-axis indication DISG output torque.The positive output torque of DISG increases towards the direction of Y-axis arrow.Time increases to the right side of chart from the left side of chart.

In time T ₀place, the request of 4x4 low speed gear scope does not have the low-level of 4x4 low speed gear range of requests in indication.The wheel torque of wishing is in medium level and driving engine rotates under himself power.There is no brake application device and DISG and driving engine all provide moment of torsion to vehicle transmission system.

In time T ₁place, reduces the wheel torque of wishing in response to chaufeur relief accelerator pedal.In addition chaufeur application car brake pedal and reduce driving engine and DISG moment of torsion in response to the wheel torque of the hope reducing.Driving engine remains in operation and does not ask 4x4 low speed gear scope.

In time T ₂place, the wheel torque of hope reaches zero and in the after this short time, automatically stop driving engine and do not need chaufeur by only having starting and/or stopping the special input request engine stop of the function of driving engine.Engine status signal changes into low-level to indicate driving engine to stop.Engine torque and DISG moment of torsion in zero level with propelled vehicles not.Car brake is still in application state.

In time T ₃locate, as change the request 4x4 low speed gear scope of the 4x4 low speed gear range signal indication of higher level into.Can advocate that in response to the request of chaufeur 4x4 low speed gear range signal is to enter 4x4 low speed gear scope.In time T ₃place is in response to entering also closed transmission system cut-off clutch (not shown) of 4x4 low speed gear scope.

In time T ₄place, car brake condition responsive changes reduced levels in chaufeur releasing brake device pedal.Because vehicle is in 4x4 low speed gear scope, in response to brake pedal discharges automatic fire an engine, does not need chaufeur to input to and only there is the device (for example hand starting switch) that starts and/or stop the function of driving engine.After this, in the short time, the vehicle torque of wishing in response to chaufeur depress throttle pedal increases.In response to the wheel torque of the hope increasing, engine torque and DISG moment of torsion also increase to provide the wheel torque of hope.Thereby, when vehicle during in 4x4 low speed gear scope in response to brake pedal discharges fire an engine automatically.This running allows vehicle transmission system to receive the moment of torsion of higher level.Engine stop and restart the time period during transmission system cut-off clutch keep engage.

In time T ₄and T ₅between, in response to chaufeur or controller request and increase engine torque and DISG moment of torsion so that the wheel torque of hope to be provided.In addition, brake pedal still in dead status until in time T ₅the brake application device pedal that place indicates as changed the brake pedal state of higher level into.In time T ₅place also reduces the wheel torque signal of wishing in response to chaufeur relief accelerator pedal.In addition, in time T ₅place reduces engine torque and DISG moment of torsion in response to the wheel torque of the hope reducing.Vehicle is still in 4x4 low speed gear scope.In time T ₆short time place before makes engine shutdown and stops the rotation.With in time T ₂place's vehicle is compared in 4x2 pattern, because vehicle is in 4x4 low speed gear scope, when the wheel torque of hope reaches zero, when reducing engine torque with tickover driving engine and when DISG moment of torsion reaches the time quantum spending between zero time during to engine stop, increase.The time of this extra delay is useful to allow the time out between travelling on coarse track, not prematurely to stop driving engine.

In time T ₆place, vehicle response exits 4x4 low speed gear scope in chaufeur demand and changes 4x2 into and drives or 4x4 high speed gear scope.As the continuation brake application device pedal of the brake status signal designation in higher level still.Engine torque and DISG moment of torsion are still in low-level.

In time T ₇place is in response to chaufeur or controller request and increase the wheel torque of hope.Because vehicle is not now in 4x4 low speed gear scope, driving engine keeps stopping and increasing DISG output torque to meet the wheel torque of hope.Thereby, DISG provide moment of torsion (comprise the creeping torque (creep torque) of slow propelled vehicles and there is no the wheel torque demand of chaufeur) to transmission system until threshold value moment of torsion make can saving fuel.As the car brake that changes the brake status indication of reduced levels into still discharges.

In time T ₈place, the wheel torque that increases hope in response to the wheel torque of the hope by chaufeur or controller request is to the level of restarting driving engine.As the engine torque after fire an engine that changes the engine status signal indication of higher level into provides to transmission system to meet the wheel torque of hope.Thereby, in time T ₈place, driving engine and DISG provide moment of torsion to meet the wheel torque of hope.

Like this, compare with different transmission system mode operations from vehicle, when with 4x4 low speed gear scope running vehicle, can turn round distinctively and comprise the transmission system of DISG and driving engine.This running is applied by restriction and is discharged the number of transitions between transmission system cut-off clutch and can reduce the deteriorated of power train part.

With reference now to Figure 13,, shown the anticipation exemplary sequence that vehicle turns round between 4x2 and 4x4 pattern.Can be in the system of Fig. 1-3 method in the execution graph 4 and sequence of Figure 13 is provided.

The first width chart from Figure 13 top shows the chart with respect to the available engine mode of time.X-axis represents the time and Y-axis is indicated available engine mode.When the value of available engine mode is 1, only by driving engine, be connected to DISG and running engine.In addition,, when the value of available engine mode is 1, driving engine keeps rotation.When the value of available engine mode is 2, transmission system cut-off clutch can be in opening or closed state.When the value of engine mode is 2, driving engine keeps rotation, and driving engine can tickover when opening transmission system cut-off clutch.When the value of available engine mode is 3, engine rotation can keep tickover, non-tickover (off-idle) or stop with saving fuel.Available engine mode changes in response to the condition of road surface standard of describing in the second width chart.Time increases to the right side of chart from the left side of chart.

The second width chart from Figure 13 top shows condition of road surface standard or the value with respect to the time.X-axis represents the time and Y-axis represents condition of road surface standard.Condition of road surface standard value increases towards the Y-axis direction of arrow.Time increases to the right side of chart from the left side of

chart.Horizon

In time T ₀place, the value of available engine mode be 3 and indicate driving engine may be stop, with tickover or with non-tickover.Herein, road condition standard in lower than compared with the level of low threshold value 1304 and transmission system in the indication of lower state as current in transmission system mode signal in 4x2 pattern.Because road condition standard is less than the level that horizon 1304 is indicated, engine condition value is 3 and indicates driving engine or may stop with idling, non-tickover.

In time T ₁place, road condition standard is increased to the value of the level of indicating higher than line 1304.The condition of road surface standard level of indicating by line 1304 is the level when 4x2 pattern.Available engine mode changes in response to condition of road surface standard value.The road that condition of road surface normal response turns round thereon in vehicle or condition of road surface and change.The value of available engine mode signal changes into 2 in response to the change of condition of road surface standard.Especially, change available engine mode make by open transmission system cut-off clutch make driving engine can idling, non-tickover, but driving engine can not stop automatically.Cut-off clutch remain closed and wheel torque demand keep relatively constant.In addition, transmission system pattern is still in 4x2 pattern.

In time T ₂place, condition of road surface standard is increased to the value of the level of indicating higher than line 1301.The value of available engine mode signal changes into 1 in response to condition of road surface standard.Especially, change available engine mode make by open cut-off clutch driving engine can tickover and engine rotation can automatically not stop.Cut-off clutch remain closed and wheel torque demand keep relatively constant.In addition, transmission system pattern is still in 4x2 pattern.

In time T ₂and time T ₃between, transmission system pattern becomes 4x4 and changes wheel torque in response to chaufeur demand from 4x2.Condition of road surface standard is increased to the value higher than horizon 1301.As a result, the value of available engine mode remains 1 to guarantee that transmission system is ready for to respond chaufeur input during severe travel conditions.Engine condition value is 3, and transmission system cut-off clutch remains closed.

In time T ₃place, condition of road surface normal response is decreased in condition of road surface the value that is less than horizon 1301.The travel conditions that lower condition of road surface standard indication improves.The value of available engine mode becomes 2 in response to the condition of road surface standard reducing.In addition, as relatively low to open cut-off clutch in the vehicle torque showing.The driving engine that becomes 1 indication as engine condition value becomes tickover.Transmission system pattern is still in 4x4 pattern.Like this, by transmission system cut-off clutch is stayed open with tickover driving engine and can reduce engine fuel consumption.But driving engine can not stop automatically when the value of available engine mode is 2.

In time T ₄place, condition of road surface normal response is decreased to the level lower than horizon 1304 in condition of road surface.So the value of available engine mode becomes 3 to allow engine stop.Cut-off clutch still in open mode and transmission system pattern also still in 4x4 pattern.In time T ₄place and time T ₅between, wheel torque increases in response to chaufeur demand and reduces and transmission system cut-off clutch is closed so that the wheel torque of hope to be provided by the combination of driving engine and DISG moment of torsion.Time T ₅short time place closed transmission system cut-off clutch when wheel torque exceedes threshold level before.When opening cut-off clutch, engine condition can tickover from stopping becoming driving engine.But, because cut-off clutch is closed, can higher rotation speed running engine.

In time T ₅place, condition of road surface normal response is increased in condition of road surface the value that horizon 1304 is indicated.The value of available engine mode change into 2 with indication driving engine can idling and non-tickover but can automatically not stop.Can observe, compared with vehicle is when the 4x2 mode operation vehicle, when vehicle, at the condition of road surface standard place of varying level, available engine mode changes during in 4x4 mode operation.When vehicle during in 4x4 mode operation this running can reduce the deteriorated of power train part.If the value of engine condition is 2 indications, open cut-off clutch, driving engine can tickover.

In time T ₆place, condition of road surface standard value is increased to the level of indicating higher than horizon 1301.The value of available engine mode becomes 1 indication present engine and cannot automatically stop.Engine condition also becomes 3 level, and with indication, driving engine can idling or non-tickover when the closed cut-off clutch.Engine condition and available engine mode in par until sequence stop.
