- Fig. 1 shows an automation device of a motor vehicle transmission in a schematic representation
- Fig. 2 shows a time course of a control pressure and an axial deflection of a shift shaft from a rest position during a test process.
- FIG. 1 shows an automation device for the automated actuation of a switching means 10 of a motor vehicle transmission 13 designed as a selector shaft.
- the switchable motor vehicle transmission 13 can be operated in a known manner by means of a Moving one of three shift rails 15 - 17 can be operated.
- the switching means 10 has a switching finger 18 which can be brought into engagement with a recess in one of the three switching rails 15-17 by axially displacing the switching means 10.
- a rotation of the switching means 10 translates through the shift finger 18 into a displacement of the shift rail 15-17 with which the shift finger 18 is engaged.
- the corresponding shift notes 15-17 shifts a toothing in the motor vehicle transmission 13 and thereby sets a ratio on the motor vehicle transmission 13 which is dependent on the selection of the shift rail 15-17 and a direction of rotation.
- a gas cylinder 19 comprises a piston 20, which is connected to the switching means 10, in such a way that the switching means 10 designed as a switching shaft is rotatably but axially fixedly mounted on a connecting piece 21 connected to the piston 20, and that the piston 20 is axially displaced leads in the alley cylinder 19 to an axial displacement of the same amount of an alley position s of the switching means 10.
- the gas cylinder 19 has connection points for two pressure lines 31, 32, via which a volume Vi or a volume V 2 above or below the piston 20 of the gas cylinder 19 can be acted upon by a hydraulic control pressure p.
- a control unit 11 actuates valves through which the control pressure p can be applied to the volumes Vi, V 2 .
- the piston 20 of the gas cylinder 19 also interacts with a gas spring 22, which is designed as a compression spring.
- the gate spring 22 stabilizes a rest position of the switching means 10, in which the switching finger 18 is in engagement with the second shift rail 16, by means of which a first or a second gear of the motor vehicle transmission 13 can be engaged by turning the switching means 10.
- the piston 20 moves in a first direction up to a stop on an end face of the gas cylinder 19
- the shifting means 10 connected to the piston 20 also shifts axially, to the extent that the shift finger 18 engages with a first shift rail 15, which is assigned to a third and a fourth gear of the motor vehicle transmission 13.
- the force exerted by the control pressure p on the piston 20 acts against a restoring force of the gate spring 22.
- the gate spring 22 is compressed by a first driver element 23 connected to the piston 20 and by a second driver element 24 connected to a housing of the motor vehicle transmission 13.
- the piston 20 moves analogously in a second axial direction up to a stop on a second end face of the valve Gas cylinder 19.
- the shifting means 10 connected to the piston 20 also shifts axially, to the extent that the shift finger 18 engages with a third shift rail 17, which is assigned to a reverse gear of the motor vehicle transmission 13.
- the force exerted by the control pressure p on the piston 20 acts against a restoring force of the gas spring 22.
- the gas spring 22 is compressed by a third driving element 25 connected to the piston 20 and by a fourth driving element 26 connected to a housing of the motor vehicle transmission 13, whereby the first entrainment element 23 and the second entrainment element 24 detach from the gate spring 22.
- control unit 11 is provided to actuate a gear cylinder 27, one with the switching means Includes 10 rotatably connected pistons. By opening and / or closing further valves, the control unit 11 causes a displacement of the piston in the gear cylinder 27, which is translated into a rotation of the switching means 10.
- the rotation of the switching means 10 is, as described above, translated by the shift finger 18 into a displacement of those switching tickets 15-17 with which the shift finger 18 is engaged.
- the control unit 11 is also connected via a sensor line 28 to a gas sensor 29, which detects an axial gas position s of the piston 20 or the switching means 10 and forwards it to the control unit 11. Furthermore, the control unit 11 has an interface 30, by means of which it communicates with other units of the motor vehicle comprising the automation device and via which it can receive control signals.
- control unit 11 receives a control signal via the interface 30, which is provided to start a pressure measurement program, a programmable arithmetic unit of the control unit 11 starts a pressure measurement program implemented in the arithmetic unit.
- the course of the pressure measurement program differs depending on whether a gear of the motor vehicle transmission 13 is engaged or not.
- the control unit 11 opens the first valve at a first point in time ti (FIG. 2) and aerates the first volume Vi with the control pressure p.
- the control pressure p increases to its saturation value within a filling time of about 300 ms due to the finite flow cross section of the valve.
- the force exerted by the control pressure p on the piston 20 exceeds a biasing force of the gate spring 22, whereupon the switching means 10 is deflected from its rest position.
- the piston 20 and the switching means 10 shift in the first axial direction until the piston 20 comes to a stop at a time t 3 on the end face of the gas cylinder 19.
- the control unit 11 has then deflected the switching means 10 for test purposes. If the filling time has elapsed, the control unit 11 opens an outlet valve at a time t and vents the volume Vi. A time measuring unit 14 of the control unit 11 begins to measure a time running from the time t. Up to a time ts, the control pressure p is greater than the spring force generated by the gate spring 22 in the stop configuration, which resets the piston 20 and the switching means 10 to its rest position in the time interval following the time ts.
- the alley position s sensed by the gas sensor 29 falls below a threshold value stored in a storage unit 12 of the control unit 11 and the time measurement unit 14 stops the time measurement.
- the control unit 11 stores the value measured by the time measuring unit 14 as a parameter T in the storage unit 12.
- the control unit 11 starts an analog pressure measurement program, in which, in contrast to the method described above, the piston 20 does not come to a stop on the end face of the gas cylinder 19, but the shift finger 18 moves within a clearance of the recess Shift rail 15 - 17 moves, with which the shift finger 18 is currently engaged. Accordingly, the alley position s only changes by a few millimeters.
- the control unit 11 applies a threshold value s 0 adapted to the gear.
- the value determined by the time measuring unit 14 is multiplied by the control unit 11 by a correction factor which takes into account the different filling volumes of the individual gears.
- the control unit 11 uses the corrected value as a parameter T.
- the characteristic variable T characterizes the response of the switching means 10 to the change in the control pressure p in the volume Vi and at the time t 4 . Since the time required for the switching means 10 to reach the threshold value s 0 is determined by an adjustment speed of the switching means 10, the value determined by the time measuring unit 14 is at the same time a parameter T for the adjustment speed or for a reset speed of the switching means 10 The parameter T designates more precisely a reset time.
- An allocation table is stored in the storage unit 12 of the control unit 11, from which the computing unit of the control unit 11 can read out a stored value depending on the detected characteristic variable T, which represents the control pressure p, which usually leads to the measurement of the detected characteristic variable T. As a result, the control unit 11 assigns the detected parameter T to the control pressure p.
- the control unit 11 makes the determined control pressure p available for the CAN bus of the motor vehicle via the interface 30.
- control unit 11 after the determination of the control pressure p compares the control unit the control pressure p with a program stored in the storage unit 12 Extremal Kunststoffdruck p m i n, which is a minimum value. If the determined control pressure p is less than the extreme control pressure p ra i n , the control unit 11 makes corresponding error information available via the CAN bus, which leads to the activation of an emergency mode of the motor vehicle.
- the time measuring unit 14 instead of the time interval between the times t and t ⁇ , determines a different time interval which appears to be useful to the person skilled in the art.
- the control unit 11 is provided to deflect the switching means 10 a little by a small change in pressure in one of the volumes V 1 ⁇ V 2 , without the piston 20 or the switching finger 18 coming to a stop. From the reaction determined via the gas sensor 29 -lü ⁇
- control unit 11 can draw conclusions about the rigidity of the system and thus about the control pressure p by means of an allocation table stored in the storage unit 12.
