[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shift control device for an automatic transmission, and more particularly to a shift control device for appropriately performing a shift at the time of an upshift accompanying switching from power-on traveling to power-off traveling. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An automatic transmission is provided with a gear transmission system by selectively engaging a plurality of clutches, brakes, and other speed-changing friction elements by increasing hydraulic fluid pressure or releasing them by decreasing hydraulic fluid pressure. Is determined by determining the power transmission path (gear stage) of the vehicle and switching the friction element that operates. Therefore, in an automatic transmission, there is a shift that is performed by changing the friction element in a disengaged state while simultaneously releasing the friction element in the engaged state by lowering the hydraulic fluid pressure and engaging the friction element in the released state by increasing the hydraulic fluid pressure. I do.

[0003] In the following description, the friction element to be switched from the engaged state to the released state during the gear shift is referred to as a release-side friction element, and the hydraulic fluid pressure thereof is referred to as a release-side hydraulic pressure. The element is referred to as a fastening-side friction element, and its hydraulic pressure is referred to as a fastening-side hydraulic pressure.

[0004] At the time of such a shift, it is required to switch the disengagement-side friction element and the engagement-side friction element at an appropriate timing, so that the shift shock is likely to be large, and therefore the changeover of the friction element is performed under fine control. Must be done in Therefore, conventionally, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No.
As described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 0, it has been proposed to perform feedback control of the hydraulic fluid pressure of the disengagement-side friction element so that the input shaft rotation change rate becomes a target value during gear shifting.

[0005]

Conventionally, the release-side hydraulic pressure control is performed while monitoring the input shaft rotation change rate.
As illustrated in FIG. 18, the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal is reduced from the state of depression of the accelerator pedal (the throttle opening TV of FIG. 18).
As a result, in the case of an upshift that is accompanied by a shift from power-on traveling to power-off traveling, the following problem arises.

That is, during such upshifting, the transmission output shaft torque is transmitted from the engine side to the wheel side from the positive torque transmitted from the engine side to the engine side (causing an engine brake state) due to the power-off traveling. Switch to negative torque. Incidentally, as is clear from the transmission output shaft torque change shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 18, the gear ratio g _r represented by the transmission output rotation ratio is changed to the post-shift value from the pre-shift value During the inertia phase, the transmission output shaft torque may temporarily protrude from the negative torque to the positive torque with the energy of the rotational inertia even during power-off traveling.

[0007] In this case, when the transmission output shaft torque changes polarity from negative torque to positive torque, or reversely in the direction of torque when the torque returns from positive torque to negative torque, a gear tapping sound occurs, Acceleration occurs, resulting in a reduction in shift quality. Conventionally, since the release-side hydraulic pressure is controlled while monitoring the rate of change of the input shaft rotation, these problems cannot be solved in any way.

A first object of the present invention is to propose a shift control device for an automatic transmission which can solve the above-mentioned problem.

It is an object of each of the second to sixth aspects of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problem with simpler shift control.

A seventh object of the present invention is to prevent the above-mentioned speed change control from being uselessly performed under conditions that do not cause the problem to be solved by the present invention.

[0011]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To achieve the above object, a shift control device for an automatic transmission according to a first aspect of the present invention releases a friction element in an engaged state by lowering hydraulic fluid pressure and simultaneously releases a friction element in a released state. In an automatic transmission having an upshift performed by increasing the hydraulic fluid pressure, during the inertia phase of the upshift that accompanies switching from power-on traveling to power-off traveling, the transmission passing torque is increased on the wheel side. If the negative pressure is transmitted from the engine side to the engine side, the hydraulic fluid pressure of the release-side friction element to be released is changed so that the transmission passing torque does not change the polarity to the positive polarity transmitted from the engine side to the wheel side. If the transmission passage torque is the positive polarity, the hydraulic pressure of the release-side friction element is set lower than the hydraulic pressure value when the transmission passage torque is the negative polarity. It is characterized in that the the.

A value obtained by adding a return spring equivalent pressure required to cause a slip start and a predetermined pressure is obtained.

A shift control apparatus for an automatic transmission according to a third aspect of the present invention is the automatic transmission control apparatus according to the second aspect, wherein the predetermined pressure is calculated by multiplying a transmission input torque by a coefficient.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a shift control device for an automatic transmission according to the third aspect, wherein the frictional coefficient μ of the clutch plate, the number n of the clutch plates, and the operation when the release-side friction element is a wet multi-plate clutch. Using the hydraulic pressure receiving area A _p , the effective radius R _m , and the transmission input torque T _i , the coefficient α is determined by α∝T _i / 2 · μ · n · A _p · R _m . Things.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the shift control device for an automatic transmission according to the third aspect, the disengagement-side friction element is a band brake, and the band brake performs a braking action in a leading direction during the upshift. The friction coefficient μ of the band, the winding angle θ of the band, the winding diameter R of the band, the pressure receiving area A _S of the working fluid pressure, the base e of the natural logarithm, and the transmission input torque T _i are used to calculate the coefficient α.

(Equation 4) It is configured to be determined by

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, in the automatic transmission control apparatus according to any one of the first to sixth aspects, when the transmission output torque becomes positive during the inertia phase of the upshift, The hydraulic fluid pressure of the release-side friction element is reduced to a minimum pressure to completely release the hydraulic fluid.

[0018]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the automatic transmission releases the friction element in the engaged state by lowering the hydraulic fluid pressure.
A corresponding upshift is performed by engaging the friction element in the released state by increasing the hydraulic fluid pressure.

When the upshift is accompanied by switching from power-on traveling to power-off traveling,
During the inertia phase of the upshift, the working fluid pressure of the disengagement-side friction element changes from a negative polarity, in which the transmission passage torque is transmitted from the wheel side to the engine side, to a positive polarity, which is transmitted from the engine side to the wheel side. Control not to do. On the other hand, during the inertia phase of the upshift, if the transmission passing torque is positive, the operating hydraulic pressure of the release-side friction element is set to be smaller than the hydraulic pressure value when the transmission passing torque is negative. make low.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the former configuration in which the hydraulic fluid pressure of the release-side friction element is controlled so that the transmission passing torque does not change from the negative polarity to the positive polarity is used. During the inertia phase of the upshift that accompanies switching to power-off driving, it is possible to reliably prevent a situation in which the transmission output shaft torque temporarily projects from negative torque to positive torque with the energy of the rotational inertia. It is possible to completely eliminate phenomena that cause the deterioration of the shift quality, such as the occurrence of gear tapping and the occurrence of longitudinal acceleration due to the direction of the transmission output shaft torque switching during the inertia phase. . Also,
If the transmission passage torque is positive, the hydraulic pressure of the release-side friction element is set to be lower than the hydraulic pressure value when the transmission passage torque is negative. Action and effect can be obtained. In other words, when the transmission passing torque is positive when the accelerator pedal is released and the power-on traveling shifts to the power-off traveling, there is a problem even if the transmission passing torque fluctuates due to the energy of the rotational inertia. Such a shock does not occur, and the hydraulic pressure control of the release-side friction element as described above when the transmission passing torque is negative is unnecessary. It is better to end it early. According to the first aspect of the invention, when the transmission passage torque is positive, the hydraulic pressure of the release-side friction element is lower than the hydraulic pressure value when the transmission passage torque is negative.
The above-described requirement of terminating the gearshift early can be satisfied under the condition that the shock does not become a problem even if the transmission passing torque fluctuates due to the rotation inertia.

In the second invention, the hydraulic fluid pressure of the release-side friction element while the transmission passing torque is negative is:
In determining that the first object of the first invention is achieved, the release-side friction element is determined by adding a pressure equivalent to a return spring equivalent pressure required to cause the release-side friction element to start slipping and a predetermined pressure. Hydraulic fluid pressure.

Therefore, according to the second aspect of the present invention, the operation and effect of the first aspect of the present invention can be more easily achieved only by adding the above predetermined pressure without finely controlling the hydraulic fluid pressure of the release-side friction element during the inertia phase. Can be achieved.

In the third aspect of the invention, the predetermined pressure in the second aspect of the invention is obtained by calculation by multiplying the transmission input torque by a coefficient, so that the operation and effect of the first aspect of the invention can be more easily achieved.

In the fourth invention, the coefficient α in the third invention is defined as follows: when the release-side friction element is a wet multi-plate clutch, the friction coefficient μ of the clutch plate, the number n of the clutch plates,
Receiving area A _p of the hydraulic fluid pressure, effective radius R _m, and with a transmission input torque T _i, since the determined by _{ααT i / 2 · μ · n} · A p · R m, the release-side friction element Is a wet multi-plate clutch, the coefficient α in the third invention, and thus the predetermined pressure in the second invention, can be obtained by calculation,
The operation and effect of the first invention can be easily achieved.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the coefficient α in the third aspect of the present invention is obtained by:
When the band brake performs a braking action in the leading direction at the time of the upshift, when the band has a friction coefficient μ, a band winding angle θ, a band winding diameter R, a hydraulic pressure receiving area A _S , a natural logarithm base e. , And the transmission input torque T _i ,

(Equation 5) Therefore, even when the release-side friction element is a band brake, which exerts a braking action in the leading direction during the upshift, the coefficient α in the third aspect of the invention, that is, the predetermined pressure in the second aspect of the invention is obtained by calculation. Therefore, the operation and effect of the first invention can be easily achieved.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, the coefficient α in the third aspect of the present invention is obtained by:
If this makes the braking action in Toreringu direction when the upshift, the friction coefficient of the band mu, angle winding band theta, winding diameter R of the band, the pressure receiving area A _S of the hydraulic fluid pressure, the base of the natural logarithm e, and shift Using the machine input torque T _i , the coefficient α is

(Equation 6) Thus, even when the release-side friction element is a band brake, which exerts a braking action in the trailing direction at the time of the upshift, the coefficient α in the third invention, that is, the predetermined pressure in the second invention is obtained by calculation. Therefore, the operation and effect of the first invention can be easily achieved.

In the seventh aspect of the present invention, when the transmission output torque becomes positive during the inertia phase of the upshift, the operating fluid pressure of the release-side friction element is reduced to the minimum pressure and completely released. In spite of the conditions that do not cause the problem to be solved by the present invention, it is possible to avoid the disadvantage that the above-described shift control is performed uselessly.

The controller 14 shown in FIG. 1 executes a control program shown in FIG. 5 based on the above input information,
Particularly, the upshift from the third speed to the fourth speed is performed according to the time chart of FIG. FIG.
In step 31, the engine throttle opening TVO detected by the sensor 16, since the transmission output speed N _o detected by the sensor 19 (vehicle speed), based on the shift map will also to the driving conditions The desired preferred gear is searched for, and if the currently selected gear is the same as this preferred gear, there is no need for gear shifting, so control is terminated as it is, and if the current selected gear is different from this preferred gear, Step 3
In step 2, the shift to the preferred gear is performed.

The gear shifting in step 32 is performed from a power-on running state in which power is transmitted from the engine to the wheel side by depressing the accelerator pedal (a state in which the transmission output torque is positive), and a throttle opening degree by returning the accelerator pedal. TVO
As shown in FIG. 18, the power is transmitted from the wheel side to the engine side (in a state where the transmission output torque is negative and the engine brake is effective). Upshift to 4th gear (foot release 3 → 4)
In the case of an upshift, this is as shown in FIGS.

First, FIG. 6 shows the processing in the first stage in FIG. 18. In step 41 of FIG. 18, it is determined whether or not the release-from-three-to-four upshift command has been issued and this is the first time. I do. Step 4 if it is the first time

Here, the control time t of the first stage
₁ is the time required for completing the loss stroke of the engagement-side friction element under the precharge command pressure _Ppr , and is set in advance, for example, for each transmission operating oil temperature T _OIL . Also, a time t ₂ for lowering the operating oil pressure _Po of the release-side friction element at the same gradient as the first stage after the first stage.
Is, when reducing an operating pressure P _o of the disengagement side frictional element, when an attempt to complete the short time in the reduction, such as the first stage control time t _1, rapid decrease in the release-side hydraulic pressure P _o too, since causing undershoot at the control end, predetermined as the time for preventing undershoot to be added to the first stage control time t _1.

Next, at step 52, the transmission input torque T _i is calculated. At the time of this calculation, first, as shown in FIG.

And it reads the differential control constants K _d, and then reads the control time t ₆ (see FIG. 18) of the fourth stage, is read sequentially smaller second reference gear ratio g _r2 ~ fourth reference gear ratio g _r4, the engagement side friction The second ramp gradient Δ used when increasing the operating oil pressure P _c of the element (band brake B / B)
_Pc2 is read, and the return spring equivalent pressure _Portn of the release-side friction element (forward clutch F / C) is calculated,
A predetermined pressure ΔP to be added to the release side return spring equivalent pressure _Portn is calculated so as to achieve the object of the present invention. Here, the release side return spring equivalent pressure P
It goes without saying that _{ortn is} also determined based on the transmission input torque at the time of entering the fourth stage, which is obtained in the same manner as in FIG.

The release side return spring equivalent pressure P
The calculation of the predetermined pressure ΔP to be added to _ortn is performed as shown in FIG. That is, in step 141, the engine speed _Ne and the transmission input speed _Ni are read, and then, in step 142, based on these, the transmission input torque T _i at the time of entering the fourth stage is calculated based on FIG.
Is calculated.

[0066] At step 143, the the transmission input torque T _i, disengagement side frictional element (the forward clutch F /
And the friction coefficient of the clutch plate μ according to C), and the number n of the clutch plate, a pressure receiving area A _p of the hydraulic fluid pressure P _o, the effective radius R
by using the _{m, (T i / 2 ·} μ · n · A p · R m) to seek, this is multiplied by a proportionality constant to determine the α coefficient for determining the predetermined pressure [Delta] P. That is, the coefficient α is α∝T _i / 2μ
-Define as n · A _p · R _m . And step 14
At 4, the predetermined pressure ΔP is calculated by multiplying the transmission input torque T _i by a coefficient α.

[0067] In step 134 of FIG. 14 calculates the gear ratio g _r is a transmission input and output rotational speed ratio (N _i / N _o), in step 135, the gear ratio g _r is 3 greater than the reference gear ratio g _r3, inter judged to be greater than the second reference gear ratio g _r2 in step 137, to indicate the working oil pressure P _c of the engagement side frictional element (the band brake B / B) in FIG. 18 At the second ramp gradient ΔP _c2 . However, in the meantime step 138,129, the working oil pressure P _c of the engagement side frictional element (the band brake B / B), not to exceed the limit pressure P _Clim obtained in FIG.

[0068] After the gear ratio g _r is determined to have dropped to a second reference gear ratio g _r2 in step 136, advances the control to step 139, the engagement side friction element as thereafter shown in FIG. 18 (the band brake B / B) operating hydraulic pressure _Pc to limit pressure P
_Keep in _cLim . Momentary and the gear ratio g _r is determined to have decreased to a third reference gear ratio g _r3 in step 135, control proceeds to step 140, where for the gear ratio g _r is reduced smoothly as shown in FIG. 18 The target gear ratio _{gr0 of} is read.

Next, at step 141, the target

g_r) + K_d(G_r-2g_r-1+ G_r-2), And instructs the solenoid 11.

[0070] While controlling the engagement side hydraulic pressure P _c as described above, in the step 142 to 144 is controlled to as follows disengagement side working oil pressure P _o. That is, step 1
At 42, the transmission input torque T _i (the same applies to the transmission output torque) is transmitted from the wheel side to the engine side (causing an engine braking state) or negatively transmitted from the engine side to the wheel side. Is determined. In step 143 if a negative torque, and as shown in FIG. 18, Wachi the release-side hydraulic pressure P _o return spring equivalent pressure P _Ortn and predetermined pressure ΔP of the (P
_ortn + ΔP).

[0071] According to the control of the disengagement side hydraulic pressure P _o in the take inertia phase, since to define a predetermined pressure ΔP as described above, the transmission output torque remains negative polarity as indicated by the solid line in FIG. 18 The polarity is maintained, and the polarity does not change from negative to positive. Therefore, during the torque phase of the upshift that accompanies the switch from the power-on traveling to the power-off traveling, a situation in which the transmission output shaft torque temporarily projects from negative torque to positive torque with the energy corresponding to the rotational inertia. During the torque phase, the direction of the transmission output shaft torque is switched, causing gear tapping noise, longitudinal acceleration, etc. Can be completely eliminated.

If it is determined in step 142 that the transmission input torque T _i (the transmission output torque is the same, and these are also referred to as the transmission passing torque) are positive, the present invention is to solve the problem. , The release-side operating oil pressure P
_O is drained to 0, and the disengagement-side friction element (forward clutch F / C) is completely disengaged, whereby the shift is ended early. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the disadvantage that the release-side operating pressure control is uselessly performed and the end of the shift is unnecessarily delayed despite the condition that does not cause the problem to be solved by the present invention.

At step 145 in FIG. 14, the gear ratio g
_rIs the fourth reference gear ratio g_r4Until it is determined that
Repeat the above loop, but with the gear ratio g_rIs the fourth reference gear
Ratio g _r4After it has decreased to
Then, as shown in FIG._oThe drain
And the engagement side hydraulic pressure P_cIs the highest
Line pressure P_LTo the same value as Step 146 processing
Means that the timer TM is in the fourth stage in step 147
4th stage control time t after entering₆As shown
It repeats until it judges that it became the 4th stage control time
t₆When the time has elapsed, in step 148, the timer
TM is reset to 0, and the shift is ended.
