Definitions
- the invention relates to an automatically controlled clutch in the auxiliary line of a motor vehicle with the driver's gearbox switched between different driving or transmission stages, with a clutch actuating motorized actuator which is controlled by a sensor system that monitors the specified parameters and opens the clutch when from the sensor technology recognizes criteria for a change of gear stage intended by the driver, and, when the gear stage is engaged, controls the clutch analogously to the torque of the engine with overpressure, such that the torque that can be transmitted by the clutch is a predetermined amount above the torque that can be tapped from the engine.
- a transmission In motor vehicles with conventional internal combustion engines, a transmission must be arranged in the drive train in order to be able to change the transmission ratio between the speed of the vehicle engine and the speed of the drive wheels in accordance with the respective driving speed and load on the vehicle.
- the flow of power between the engine and drive wheels In conventional transmissions switched by the driver, the flow of power between the engine and drive wheels must be interrupted by opening the clutch while changing a gear.
- the limited overpressure basically has the advantage that, if necessary, impacts acting in the drive train can lead to the clutch "slipping" and are thus effectively damped.
- the overpressure must not be too low to avoid undesired wear on the coupling.
- the object of the invention is now to improve the control of the overpressure. This object is achieved in that the degree of overpressure at low outside temperatures minmin ⁇
- the invention is based on the general idea of controlling the overpressure as a function of temperature and reducing it at low ambient temperatures in order to reduce the work required to open the clutch when the actuating unit has to work against increased resistance due to the low ambient temperature.
- the actuating unit works hydraulically, so that at low temperatures an increased viscosity of the hydraulic medium must be expected, i.e. the actuator becomes stiff.
- the energy-increasing effect of the viscosity of the hydraulic medium of the hydraulic actuating unit of the clutch can now be compensated for, so that the power requirement for the actuating unit remains limited.
- This can surely ensure that the clutch opens quickly when an intention to shift by the driver is detected.
- a quick release of the clutch is desirable because then even with a very quick change of gear stages by the driver, i. H. if the driver "tears through" the gears of the transmission, the flow of power between the engine and drive wheels can be interrupted and neither the actuators for shifting the transmission nor the clutch linings can be subjected to excessive loads.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of a drive train of a motor vehicle and the components essential for clutch control and
- Fig. 2 is a schematic representation of a hydraulically operated clutch.
- 1 is an internal combustion engine 1 via an automatically operated clutch 2 and a transmission 3, the gears or gears of which are changed by manual actuation of a shift lever 4, and a drive shaft 5, e.g. a propeller shaft, drivingly connected to drive wheels 6 of a motor vehicle, which is not shown in any more detail.
- the clutch 2 is actuated automatically by means of a motorized actuator 7, for the control of which a sensor system is provided for monitoring various parameters of the driving operation.
- This sensor system comprises a sensor arrangement 8, which is assigned to the transmission 3 or the shift lever 4 and detects its positions and / or movements and thus knows the currently selected gear or gear.
- the position of an organ serving to control the power of the engine 1 is registered by a sensor 9, for example a throttle valve 10 of the air intake system of the engine 1.
- the sensor system includes a displacement sensor 11, which is assigned to the actuating unit 7 and detects its position and thus a parameter which is analogous to the magnitude of the torque that can be transmitted by the automatic clutch 2.
- the signals from the sensor arrangement 8, the sensor 9 and the displacement sensor 11 are processed by a control circuit 12 which controls the actuating unit 7.
- the control circuit 12 also communicates with an engine control 13, which among other things has the task of keeping the engine speed largely independent of the load on the engine at a minimum speed, such as the idling speed.
- the engine control 13 “knows” the respective outside temperature (a temperature sensor is provided for this) and the torque generated by the engine.
- the control circuit 12 communicates with speed sensors 14, which are assigned to the vehicle wheels. The control circuit can thus also determine the state of motion of the vehicle and especially recognize the driving speed.
- control circuit 12 can determine the torque transmitted by the clutch 2 as a function of the position of the actuating unit 7. For the torque M ⁇ transmitted by clutch 2, the following applies at constant driving speed:
- M ⁇ M Mot - J Mot d ⁇ Mot / dt.
- M Mot is the torque generated by engine 1, which is recognized by engine control 13, J Mot by
- the control circuit 12 Since all engine-related variables can be ascertained by the engine control 13 and the signals from the speed sensors 14 show whether the vehicle is traveling at approximately constant speed, the control circuit 12 knows the respective clutch torque M due to its interaction with the engine control 13 and the speed sensors 14 ⁇ . In addition, the control circuit 12 knows the position of the actuating unit 7 from the signals of the displacement sensor 11, so that the control circuit 12 can also determine or update the proportionality between the clutch torque M ⁇ and the actuating path of the actuating unit 7. As a result, the control circuit 12 knows the transmissible torque set on the clutch 2.
- the actuating unit 7 In normal driving operation, ie when a gear or gear is engaged and the vehicle is driving without braking, the actuating unit 7 is controlled in such a way that the clutch 2 operates with a certain overpressure relative to the moment of the engine Mi t . This is equivalent to the fact that the clutch torque M ⁇ that can be transmitted by the clutch 2 is larger by a predetermined amount than the respective torque of the motor M raot .
- the engine 1 (not shown in FIG. 2) (cf. FIG. 1) carries on an output part of its crankshaft a flywheel 16 which is non-rotatably connected to the crankshaft and which is firmly connected to an essentially bell-shaped, ring-like clutch housing 17.
- flywheel 16 Coaxial with flywheel 16 an input shaft 18 of the transmission 3 is arranged.
- a drive plate 19 of the clutch 2 is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to this input shaft.
- This drive plate 19 is axially flexible, such that friction linings 20, which are arranged on the outer circumference of the drive plate 19 on its two end faces, can be pressed axially against the flywheel 16.
- a plate spring 22 is held by means of bearing rings 21, the concave side of which faces the flywheel 16.
- the plate spring 22 On the outer circumference, the plate spring 22 carries an annular pressure plate 23 which — viewed in an axial view — radially completely covers the friction linings 20 of the driving disk 19. On the inner circumference, the plate spring 22 is rotatably supported on a release bearing 24 which is axially displaceably rotatably supported on the input shaft 18.
- the release bearing 24 is gripped by a release fork 25, which forms a lever which is movable about a pivot axis perpendicular to the axis of the input shaft 18.
- the release fork 25 is actuated by means of a hydraulic slave cylinder 26, which communicates via a hydraulic line 27 with a hydraulic master cylinder 28, the piston of which can be moved by an electric motor 29 in the example shown.
- This electric motor 29 forms, together with the slave cylinder 26, the hydraulic line 27 and the master cylinder 28, the actuator 7 of FIG. 1 and is actuated by the control circuit 12 of FIG. 1.
- the coupling 2 shown works as follows:
- the plate spring 22 searches for the release bearing 24 in an end position to the right and the pressure plate 23 in FIG. 2 to the left push in such a way that the driving plate 19 with its friction linings 20 is clamped axially between the facing end faces of the flywheel 16 and the pressure plate 23 and a very high frictional connection between the flywheel 16 and the pressure plate 23 on the one hand and the driving plate 19 or the friction linings 20 on the other hand is achieved .
- the release bearing 24 is displaced in the direction of the flywheel 16 by the piston of the master cylinder 28 being inserted into the master cylinder 28 by means of the electric motor 29, the aforementioned frictional engagement is initially increasingly reduced.
- the driving disk 19 with its friction linings 20 is then released axially between the flywheel 16 and the pressure plate 23, ie the clutch 2 is opened completely.
- the actuating stroke required to fully open the clutch 2 depends on the position of the release bearing 24 before the clutch 2 is opened. Since in the control according to the invention the clutch 2 is operated with a limited overpressure, i.e. the clutch is set to a transmittable torque, which is a predetermined amount above the engine torque, the release bearing 24 will usually not take its right end position when the clutch is closed, but by means of the actuator 7 at a greater or lesser distance from the right End position are held.
