Detailed Description
In order to make the present application solution better understood by those skilled in the art, the following description will clearly and completely describe the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without undue burden from the present disclosure, are within the scope of the present disclosure.
Technical terms related to the present application are described first.
The engaged position of the clutch is a position at which the clutch is in the process from the engaged state to the disengaged state, and the value corresponding to the engaged position is from the engaged state to the disengaged state, i.e., from the small to the large, i.e., the value corresponding to the engaged position is the smallest in the engaged state and the value corresponding to the engaged position is the largest in the engaged state. Typically, the engaged position of the clutch is acquired by a clutch position sensor.
The clutch has four points in the engagement process, namely a complete disengagement point, a skidding starting point, a skidding ending point and a complete engagement point in sequence.
The complete separation point is that the torque transmitted between the driving disc and the driven disc is zero, the initial position is established for the torque transmitted between the driving disc and the driven disc by the starting point of the sliding mill, specifically, the torque transmitted between the driving disc and the driven disc is larger than 0 and smaller than a preset value, and the preset value can be determined based on actual conditions (parameter information of a vehicle and the like). The end point of the slide mill is that there is no relative movement between the driving disk and the driven disk. The relative movement or not depends on the torque transferred between the driving and driven discs, the greater the transferred torque the closer the slip finish point is to the full engagement point. The full engagement point is where the driving disk and the driven disk are fully engaged.
Typically, when the clutch is engaged to the end of the slide mill at a lower engagement speed, the maximum engagement speed is engaged to the full engagement point. Since the current slip finish points are all determined by calibration, there is no relative motion between the driving disc and the driven disc in the actual scene, but the slip finish points are still engaged with the calibration at a smaller engagement speed, so that the engagement time of the clutch is increased, and the engagement efficiency of the clutch is reduced.
In view of this, the present embodiment provides a clutch engagement method that can be executed by a controller on a vehicle (hereinafter referred to as a controller for convenience of description). Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
when the controller detects that the clutch is in the process of engagement, a first rotating speed of a driving disc of the clutch and a second rotating speed of a driven disc of the clutch are obtained, then the first rotating speed and the second rotating speed are compared to obtain a first comparison result, and when the rotating speed difference of the first comparison result representing the first rotating speed and the second rotating speed is smaller than a preset threshold value, the clutch is engaged to a full engagement point at a preset speed. The preset speed may be the maximum engagement speed.
In this method, the controller determines the actual slip end point based on the rotational speed difference between the driving and driven discs, and when the clutch is engaged to this actual slip end point, it will no longer engage to the calibrated slip end point at a lower engagement speed, but will engage directly to the full engagement point at a preset speed, i.e. the maximum engagement speed. Therefore, the engagement time of the clutch is saved, and the engagement efficiency of the clutch is improved.
In order to make the technical solution of the present application clearer and easier to understand, the clutch engagement method provided by the embodiments of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of a clutch engagement method according to an embodiment of the present application is provided. The method comprises the following steps:
s101, when the clutch is in the engagement process, acquiring a first rotating speed of a driving disc of the clutch and a second rotating speed of a driven disc of the clutch.
When the clutch is in the engagement process, the clutch is engaged from the full disengagement point to the end point of the skid at a lower engagement speed, and then is engaged to the full engagement point at a higher engagement speed.
In this embodiment, when the clutch is in the engagement process, the controller obtains a first rotational speed of the driving disc of the clutch, and obtains a second rotational speed of the driven disc, so as to determine whether the clutch is engaged to the actual slip finish point based on the first rotational speed and the second rotational speed.
When the power types of the vehicles are different, the above-described first rotation speed and second rotation speed may be obtained in different manners.
In some examples, when power is provided by a conventional fuel-fired engine, the controller may obtain a first rotational speed of a driving disk of the clutch via a flywheel rotational speed sensor of the engine and a second rotational speed of a driven disk of the clutch via an input shaft rotational speed sensor of the transmission.
In some examples, when power is provided by the P2 parallel hybrid powertrain, the controller may obtain a first rotational speed of a driving disc of the clutch via a flywheel rotational speed sensor of the engine and a second rotational speed of a driven disc of the clutch via a rotational speed sensor of the drive motor.
In some examples, when power is provided by the DHT series-parallel powertrain, the controller may obtain a first rotational speed of a driving disc of the clutch via a motor speed sensor of an automotive start-up and power generation integrated machine (Integrated Starter and Generator, ISG) and obtain a second rotational speed of a driven disc of the clutch via a drive motor speed sensor.
It should be noted that the above is merely an example manner of obtaining the first rotation speed of the driving disc and the second rotation speed of the driven disc, and those skilled in the art may also obtain the first rotation speed and the second rotation speed in other manners.
S102, comparing the first rotating speed with the second rotating speed to obtain a first comparison result.
After the controller obtains the first rotating speed and the second rotating speed, the first rotating speed and the second rotating speed can be compared to obtain a first comparison result.
In some examples, the controller may calculate a difference between the first rotational speed and the second rotational speed to obtain a rotational speed difference, and then obtain a comparison result according to the rotational speed difference.
S103, when the rotation speed difference of the first rotation speed and the second rotation speed represented by the first comparison result is smaller than a preset threshold value, the full engagement point is engaged at a preset speed.
The preset threshold may be a set value, for example, 10rpm/min, 15rpm/min, etc., which may be set by those skilled in the art based on actual needs.
In some examples, the controller may obtain a first comparison result of a rotational speed difference between the first rotational speed and the second rotational speed with a preset threshold.
When the first comparison indicates that the difference between the first and second speeds is less than a preset threshold, indicating that there is no relative movement between the driving and driven discs, the clutch has now been engaged to the actual slip finish point. At this time, the controller controls the clutch to be engaged from the actual slip finish point to the full engagement point at a preset speed (e.g., a maximum engagement speed), thereby shortening the engagement time of the clutch and improving the engagement efficiency of the clutch.
When the first comparison result indicates that the rotation speed difference between the first rotation speed and the second rotation speed is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value, the relative movement between the driving disc and the driven disc is indicated, and the clutch is not yet engaged to the actual slip finish point. At this time, the controller still engages at a lower engagement speed until the difference between the first rotational speed and the second rotational speed is less than a predetermined threshold, and then engages at a predetermined speed to the full engagement point.
In some embodiments, the controller may further obtain an engagement speed of the clutch, and when the first comparison result indicates that a rotation speed difference between the first rotation speed and the second rotation speed is smaller than a preset threshold value, then compare the engagement speed with the preset speed to obtain a second comparison result; and when the second comparison result indicates that the engagement speed is smaller than the preset speed, and the second comparison result is engaged to the full engagement point at the preset speed. And when the first comparison result indicates that the rotation speed difference between the first rotation speed and the second rotation speed is larger than or equal to a preset threshold value, the engagement speed is still combined until the rotation speed difference between the first rotation speed and the second rotation speed is smaller than the preset threshold value.
In some embodiments, the controller may also obtain an engagement position of the clutch, and then obtain a target torque corresponding to the engagement position of the clutch based on a correspondence of the position and the torque. The engagement position of the clutch may be a position from an actual slip finishing point to a position before a full engagement point, the correspondence between the position and the torque may be a pre-established correspondence, the target torque is a current engagement position, and a maximum value of torque transmittable between the driving disc and the driven disc may cause relative movement between the driving disc and the driven disc to occur again, that is, slip occurs when the torque output by the engine is greater than the target torque.
After the controller obtains the target torque, the required torque is compared with the target torque to obtain a third comparison result, and then the engine output torque is controlled according to the third comparison result. The required torque can be obtained according to parameters such as an accelerator pedal, and specifically, when the third comparison result indicates that the required torque is larger than the target torque, that is, the transmission torque which a user wants to reach exceeds the limit value of the torque which can be transmitted between the driving disc and the driven disc corresponding to the engagement position, the torque output by the engine is controlled to be the target torque, so that the driving disc and the driven disc do not generate relative motion, and the requirement of the output torque of the user can be ensured to be higher. When the third comparison result indicates that the required torque is smaller than or equal to the target torque, that is, the transmission torque which the user wants to achieve does not exceed the limit value of the torque which can be transmitted between the driving disc and the driven disc corresponding to the engagement position, and the output torque of the engine is controlled to be the required torque.
Referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of the present application further provides a flowchart of a control method for improving power responsiveness, where the method includes:
s201, judging whether the current clutch is in the engagement process, if so, executing S202, otherwise, returning to S201 (namely, continuing to judge).
S202, acquiring a first rotating speed of a driving disc of the clutch and a second rotating speed of a driven disc of the clutch.
S203, judging whether the rotation speed difference between the first rotation speed and the second rotation speed is smaller than a preset threshold, if yes, executing S204, otherwise returning to S201.
In some examples, S202 and S203 may be returned to if not.
S204, judging whether the engagement speed is smaller than a preset speed, if yes, jumping to S205 and S208, otherwise returning to S201.
In some examples, S202, S203, S204 may also be returned if not.
S205, controlling the clutch to be engaged to the full engagement point at a preset speed.
S206, judging whether the position of the clutch reaches a full engagement point, if so, executing S207, otherwise, returning to S205.
S207, the clutch is set to be in a fully-engaged state.
S208, the state of the clutch is changed to the engaged state.
S209, acquiring a torque limit value which can be transmitted by the clutch at a single front position of the clutch.
S210, judging whether the required torque is smaller than the transmissible torque limit value, if yes, executing S211, otherwise executing S212.
And S211, transmitting the required torque to an engine controller so that the engine controller controls the output torque of the engine to be the required torque.
And S212, transmitting the transmittable torque limit value to the engine controller so that the engine controller controls the output torque of the engine to be the transmittable torque limit value.
