  However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, after the engine speed is increased by blipping control, the lockup clutch is engaged after waiting for the output speed to increase. There was a problem that the time was long.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and to provide a shift control device for a motorcycle that can generate an appropriate engine brake even during blipping control at the time of downshift and reduce the time during which idling occurs. It is to provide.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a transmission (TM) having a plurality of gear pairs according to a gear position between an input-side main shaft (13) and an output-side counter shaft (9). A first clutch (CL1) and a second clutch disposed on the main shaft (13) or the counter shaft (9) and controlling connection / disconnection of power transmission between the transmission (TM) and the engine (100). A twin clutch (TCL) comprising a clutch (CL2), and the crank clutch (105) of the engine (100) and the transmission (TM) are controlled by the twin clutch (TCL) controlled by the control unit (120). In the shift control apparatus for a motorcycle configured to connect and disconnect the rotational driving force between the engine (100) and the engine (100) during the downshift of the transmission (TM) A blipping control means (123) for executing blipping control for temporarily increasing the force rotation speed by the electronic throttle device (102) is provided, and the control unit (120) includes the first clutch (CL1) or the first clutch (CL1). The first feature is that, among the two clutches (CL2), a transmission torque is generated during the blipping control for the clutch (CL2) on the side connected with the downshift.

  In the blipping control, the rotational speed (Ne) on the upstream side of the twin clutch (TCL) is converted to the rotational speed (Nc1) on the downstream side of the clutch (CL2) connected with the downshift. The second feature is that it is performed in a smaller period.

  Further, during the downshift, the first target hydraulic pressure (P1) as the target hydraulic pressure of the clutch (CL1) that is released along with the downshift is reduced, and at the same time, the downshift is accompanied. A third feature is that the second target hydraulic pressure (P2) as the target hydraulic pressure of the clutch (CL2) connected to the clutch is increased to a value (Pb) at which a transmission torque is generated.

Further, the control unit (120) is configured so that a connection-side instantaneous speed that is a difference between a downstream rotational speed (Nc1) and an engine rotational speed (Ne) of the clutch (CL2) that is connected in association with the downshift. The sliding rotation (A) and the starting instantaneous sliding rotation (A ₀ ), which is the sliding rotation at the start of blipping control, are calculated, and the connection-side instantaneous sliding rotation (A) and the starting instantaneous sliding rotation (A ₀ ) are calculated. There is a fourth feature in that the second target hydraulic pressure (P2) is reduced in accordance with a reduction rate (A / A ₀ ) that is a ratio of

Further, the control unit (120) stops the blipping control when the rate of decrease (A / A ₀ ) becomes a predetermined value or less, and sets the second target hydraulic pressure (P2) to the open hydraulic pressure. There are features.

  According to the first feature, the apparatus comprises a blipping control means for executing a blipping control for temporarily increasing the output rotation speed of the engine by the electronic throttle device during the downshift of the transmission.

Can be maintained for a long time, and the passenger can be prevented from feeling uncomfortable.

  According to the second feature, the blipping control is performed in a period in which the rotation speed on the upstream side of the twin clutch is smaller than the rotation speed on the downstream side of the clutch on the side connected with the downshift. Even if the driving torque of the engine increases with the blipping control, this can be prevented from being transmitted to the downstream side of the clutch, and the vehicle can be prevented from accelerating with the blipping control.

  According to the third feature, at the time of the downshift, the first target oil pressure as the target oil pressure of the clutch that is disengaged along with the downshift is reduced, and at the same time, connected with the downshift. Since the second target hydraulic pressure as the target hydraulic pressure of the clutch on the clutch side is increased to a value at which the transmission torque is generated, the engine brake can be maintained even after the hydraulic pressure of the disengaged clutch is decreased.

  According to the fourth feature, the control unit starts the blipping control and the connection side instantaneous slip rotation that is the difference between the engine speed and the downstream rotation speed of the clutch that is connected in accordance with the downshift. Since the start instantaneous slip rotation that is the slip rotation at the time is calculated and the second target hydraulic pressure is reduced according to the decrease rate that is the ratio of the connection side instantaneous slip rotation and the start instantaneous slip rotation, the engine is gradually By weakening the brake, it is possible to prevent the passenger from feeling uncomfortable.

  According to the fifth feature, the control unit stops the blipping control when the rate of decrease is equal to or less than a predetermined value, and the second target hydraulic pressure is set to the open hydraulic pressure. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the rotational speed on the upstream side of the clutch from exceeding the rotational speed on the downstream side of the clutch to which the clutch is connected before closing the throttle, while speeding up the upstream side of the clutch by the blipping control.

  FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram showing the main configuration of the transmission control apparatus for a motorcycle according to the present invention. As described above, the control unit 120 as an AMT control unit drives the twin clutch TCL and the transmission TM with an actuator according to the shift operation by the shift switch 115 by the occupant when the MT mode is selected.

The controller 120 is provided with an instantaneous slip rotation detecting means 121, an instantaneous slip rotation reduction rate A / A ₀ calculating means 122, and a blipping control means 123. Here, the blipping control is mainly control for mitigating a deceleration shock when the clutch is reconnected at the gear stage after the shift at the time of downshifting during deceleration. For this reason, the blipping control is usually a control for increasing the engine speed by opening the throttle valve in a state where the clutch is released (disconnected), that is, by performing “blank”.

  The reason for releasing the clutch during this blipping control is that if the engine speed is increased while the clutch is connected, the engine driving force may increase despite the deceleration, and the vehicle may feel pushed. This was to eliminate, but the delay in clutch re-connection timing caused a feeling of free running.

  On the other hand, the applicant of the present invention, through repeated experiments and actual running tests, does not cause a push feeling of the vehicle body and does not cause a push feeling of the vehicle body even when the clutch is connected during execution of the blipping control. It came to know that the connection can generate engine brakes at an earlier timing and eliminate the feeling of running idle.

  The instantaneous slip rotation detecting means 121 of the control unit 120 is based on the information of the engine speed sensor 130, the inner main shaft speed sensor 131, and the outer main shaft speed sensor 132, and the engine speed Ne (engine speed Ne) on the upstream side of the clutch. Further, the rotational speeds Nc1 and Nc2 on the downstream side of the clutch are detected. In the present embodiment, the rotation speed on the downstream side of the clutch corresponds to the rotation speed of the counter shaft 9. That is, the rotational speed on the downstream side of the clutch is detected based on the output signal of the inner spindle speed sensor 131 when the odd-numbered gear is selected, and is detected based on the output signal of the outer spindle speed sensor 132 when the even-numbered gear is selected. Is done.

The instantaneous slip rotation detecting means 121 calculates the difference between the rotational speed Ne upstream of the clutch and the rotational speed Nc1 or Nc2 downstream of the clutch as the instantaneous slip rotation A. The instantaneous slip rotation reduction rate A / A ₀ calculating means sets the ratio (A / A ₀ ) between the calculated instantaneous slip rotation A and the slip rotation A ₀ at the start of blipping control as the decrease rate A / A _0. calculate. The control unit 120 in a predetermined period during blipping control, controls the hydraulic pressure of the connection-side clutch in accordance with the value of the reduction ratio A / A ₀ (the side of the clutch is connected after the downshift).

  The blipping control unit 123 performs blipping control by driving the throttle valve motor 104 of the electronic throttle device 102 in response to a downshift command from the shift switch 115. The operation of the throttle valve motor 104 in the blipping control is performed according to a predetermined map with parameters such as the current shift speed, vehicle speed, vehicle body deceleration, engine speed, and throttle opening. In the present embodiment, control is performed to maintain a predetermined throttle opening for a predetermined period.

  FIG. 5 is a graph showing the relationship between the blipping control and the accompanying clutch control. FIG. 6 is an enlarged detailed explanatory view of a part of FIG. 5 and 6 show an example of a downshift from the third speed to the second speed.

  First, referring to FIG. 5, at time t = 0, the motorcycle 1 is decelerating at the throttle opening Th = 0 while maintaining the third gear. At this time, the first target oil pressure P1 of the first clutch CL1 (hereinafter simply referred to as the first target oil pressure P1) is at the fully connected oil pressure Pc, while the second target oil pressure P2 (hereinafter simply referred to as the first target oil pressure P1) of the second clutch CL2. The second target hydraulic pressure P2) is a follow-up hydraulic pressure Pa that is large enough to cause the outer main shaft 7 of the main shaft 13 to rotate about the inner main shaft 6. The accompanying hydraulic pressure Pa is applied to prevent the outer main shaft 7 from being completely stopped while the driving force is transmitted through the inner main shaft 6.

  Further, at time t = 0, the transmission TM is in status 2 in which driving force is transmitted via the third speed gear. Further, Nc1 and Nc2 shown as the respective shaft rotation speeds are the rotation speed Nc1 on the downstream side of the clutch connected with the downshift and the downstream of the clutch released on the downshift. Side rotation speed Nc2. That is, in this figure when downshifting from the 3rd speed to the 2nd speed, Nc1 indicates the rotational speed on the downstream side of the second clutch CL2, and Nc2 indicates the rotational speed on the downstream side of the first clutch CL1.

  At time t1, a downshift command is issued by operating the shift switch 115. In response to this, the control unit sets the target hydraulic pressure P2 of the second clutch CL2 to P0 which is the clutch disengagement hydraulic pressure, and starts a down preliminary shift for switching the driving force transmission gear to the second speed.

  Next, at time t2, the down preliminary shift of the transmission TM is completed, the transmission status is switched to 1, and a decrease in the first target hydraulic pressure P1 is started. At the same time, the second target hydraulic pressure P2 is higher than the accompanying hydraulic pressure Pa, and is increased to the engine brake transmission hydraulic pressure Pb capable of transmitting the engine brake. Note that the decreasing speed of the first target hydraulic pressure P1 from the time t2 is a value determined by various parameters.

  At time t3, the blipping control is started with the first target oil pressure P1 as a trigger when the torque is lowered to a predetermined oil pressure at which torque transmission becomes zero. Specifically, the throttle opening degree Th is increased from zero to a predetermined value Th1, and thereafter, the engine speed Ne starts to increase at time t4. That is, in the present embodiment, the second clutch target hydraulic pressure P2 is at the engine brake transmission hydraulic pressure Pb in that the engine rotational speed Ne is increased by the blipping control, and the engine rotational speed Ne is increased while the engine brake is being generated. .

  After time t4, the control unit 120 gradually decreases the second target hydraulic pressure P2 in accordance with the relationship between the increasing engine speed Ne and the clutch downstream speed Nc1, and at time t5, the controller 120 decreases the clutch release hydraulic pressure. The This is because if the second clutch CL2 is kept connected, a push feeling is generated in the vehicle body when the engine speed Ne exceeds the speed Nc1 after time t5. Conversely, the present invention focuses on the fact that the push feeling of the vehicle body does not occur even when the second clutch CL2 is connected, as long as the engine rotational speed Ne does not exceed the rotational speed Nc1.

  At time t5, the second target oil pressure P2 is reduced to the clutch disengagement oil pressure, and at the same time, the throttle opening degree Th is returned to zero. 5 and 6, the response delay of the engine speed to the opening / closing operation of the throttle valve is expressed. However, the response delay of the actual hydraulic pressure with respect to the first target hydraulic pressure P1 and the second target hydraulic pressure P2 can be ignored. Therefore, it is not described.

  Next, at time t6, the second clutch CL2 is raised again, triggered by the difference between the engine speed Ne and the speed Nc1 being equal to or less than a predetermined value. At time t6, the transmission status is switched to 0 because the downshift is completed, and the control of the second clutch CL2 is also switched to the control based on the target hydraulic pressure calculated based on the estimated engine torque. At time t7, the target hydraulic pressure of the second clutch CL2 is increased to the fully connected hydraulic pressure Pc, triggered by the difference between the engine rotational speed Ne and the rotational speed Nc1 being equal to or less than a predetermined value, and the series of controls is terminated. To do.

  In this embodiment, as a series of control modes, time t1 to t2 is referred to as stage 1, time t2 to t3 is referred to as stage 2, time t5 to t6 is referred to as stage 3, and time t6 to t7 is referred to as stage 4. Among these, it is during the stage 2 that the throttle valve is opened as blipping control. Below, with reference to FIG. 6, the detail of the clutch control especially in a blipping control period is demonstrated.

  In FIG. 6, at time t2 which is the start point of the stage 1, the hydraulic pressure reduction control of the first target hydraulic pressure P1 is started and the second target hydraulic pressure P2 is increased to the engine brake transmittable hydraulic pressure Pb. As a result, engine braking occurs in the second clutch CL2. This is because torque transmission is performed only in the direction in which the engine brake acts in a situation where the engine rotational speed Ne is smaller than the rotational speed Nc1 in the initial stage of shifting. Therefore, even if the clutch is connected in this region, there is no push feeling on the vehicle body.

Next, at time t3, which is the start point of the stage 2, the opening operation of the throttle valve is performed as a blipping control with the first target oil pressure P1 being lowered to a predetermined oil pressure Pd that causes no torque transmission. At time _t3, the value of A 0 = Nc1-Ne beginning instantaneous slip rotation _{A 0} is a sliding rotation of the stage 2 start time by the calculation equation is calculated. The degree of decrease in the first target hydraulic pressure P1 in the stage 2 is assumed to be gentler than the degree of decrease in the stage 1.

On the other hand, from time t4, the value of the instantaneous slip rotation A is calculated by the calculation formula of A = Nc1-Ne. In this figure, the calculation formula is described at the position of time t4-2, but in actuality, it is calculated sequentially from time t4 and changes as the engine speed Ne increases. Then, the control unit 120 calculates the decrease rate A / A ₀ by the calculation formula of A ÷ A ₀ . The reduction rate A / A ₀ is calculated by the instantaneous slip rotation reduction rate A / A ₀ calculation means 122 (see FIG. 4) of the control unit 120.

In the present embodiment, in a period of stage 2 not only causes engine braking by the second clutch CL2, by reducing the second target pressure P2 in accordance with the value of the reduction ratio A / A _0, a suitable engine It is configured to achieve both the generation of the brake and the reduction of the idling feeling. That is, in the present embodiment, engine braking is obtained in both regions of the stages 1 and 2 (illustrated hatched hatching portion F).

At time t4-1, control for reducing the second target pressure P2 in accordance with the value of the reduction ratio A / A ₀ calculated is started. Then, at time t5, as a trigger that the decrease rate A / A ₀ is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the throttle valve is closed by the electronic throttle device 102 (throttle opening zero). At the same time, the second target hydraulic pressure P2 is set to the release hydraulic pressure. In this figure, the value is lower than the predetermined oil pressure Pd at which torque transmission is eliminated, and the action applied to the clutch is substantially the same as that at the oil pressure P0.

  In stage 3 starting from time t5, in a state where both the first clutch CL1 and the second clutch CL2 are disengaged, there is a region (shown hatched hatched portion G) in which only the engine speed Ne increases and exceeds the speed Nc1. Arise.

  At time t6 when the stage 4 is started, the second target hydraulic pressure P2 is triggered by the fact that the difference between the engine speed Ne and the engine speed Nc1 is less than a predetermined value (eg, 50 rpm or less) while the engine speed Ne is decreasing. The pressure is increased to a predetermined oil pressure Pe.

  In stage 4, the engine speed Ne once falls below the speed Nc1, and then converges to the same value. During this period, the second target hydraulic pressure P2 is calculated based on the estimated engine torque derived from the transmission gear stage and the engine speed Ne. At time t7, the second target hydraulic pressure P2 is increased to the fully connected hydraulic pressure Pc, triggered by the difference between the engine rotational speed Ne and the rotational speed Nc1 being equal to or less than a predetermined value (for example, 50 rpm or less). End the control.
