Description
The present invention relates to a control apparatus for a four-wheel drive vehicle.
Generally, the four-wheel drive vehicle can be selectively operated in two operation modes (2WD and 4WD) depending on the driver's demand or the external driving situation. On the other hand, when changing to 2WD driving during 4WD driving, it is judged whether or not 2WD driving is canceled by simple comparison according to vehicle speed acceleration pedal value. Therefore, it is possible to consider a lot of driving situation in determination of reference acceleration pedal value And does not reflect the power transmission characteristics of the vehicle. Therefore, unnecessary four-wheel drive travel or two-wheel drive travel in a state in which four-wheel drive travel is favorable results in fuel consumption and power loss. In addition, since the method of releasing the vehicle from the stop state to the two-wheel drive running is not classified, the torsion of the drive system is suddenly released at the time of releasing the torque, so that the vehicle bottom impact and noise may be generated.
The present invention provides a control device of a four-wheel drive vehicle that can improve fuel economy, minimize power loss, and improve shock and noise.
A control device for a four-wheel drive vehicle for determining a point in time when a vehicle traveling in four-wheel drive according to the present invention does not require four-wheel drive running and releasing torque, A stop mode determining unit for determining the stop mode; A torque release determination unit for determining whether or not two-wheel drive should be performed by releasing the torque according to the state of the vehicle and for issuing a torque release command; And a torque release mode determining unit that determines a torque release mode of the vehicle according to an instruction from the torque release determination unit.
In addition, the stop mode determination unit may determine whether the vehicle speed of the vehicle is '0', and if the vehicle speed of the vehicle is not '0', it may determine that the vehicle is not in a stationary state and output '0'.
When it is determined that the vehicle speed of the vehicle is '0', the stop mode determiner determines whether the gear of the transmission is in neutral or parking. If it is determined that the gear of the transmission is in neutral or parking, If it is determined that the time is longer than the reference time, if it is determined that the gear stage maintenance time is longer than the reference time, it is determined that the vehicle is maintained in the stopped state, and '1' is output.
If it is determined that the brake is on, if it is determined that the gear of the gear position is not in the neutral state or in the parking state, it is determined that the brake on state is greater than the reference time, If it is determined that the on-hold time is larger than the reference time, it is determined that the vehicle is maintained in a stationary state, and a '1' can be output.
Also, if it is determined that the brake is not on, the stop mode determination unit may determine that the vehicle is not in a stop state and output '0'.
The torque release determination unit determines whether or not there is an external event from the external module. If it is determined that there is no external event, the torque release determination unit checks whether or not the engine is stopped. If it is determined that the engine is stopped, It can be judged that driving should be performed.
The external module may be a module for detecting a situation requiring four-wheel drive such as turning state detection, slip occurrence detection, roughness detection and inclination detection.
If it is determined that the engine is not stopped, the torque release determination unit checks the stop state of the vehicle from the output of the stop mode determination unit. When it is determined that the output of the stop mode determination unit is '1' It can be judged that driving should be performed.
If it is determined that the output of the stop mode determination unit is '0', the torque release determination unit may sequentially calculate a load transfer amount, a load distribution ratio, a transmission output torque, a propeller shaft torque, a wheel slip torque, and an oscillation torque.
Also, the torque release determination unit may compare the propeller shaft torque with the propeller shaft reference torque, and if it is determined that the propeller shaft torque is smaller than the propeller shaft reference torque, the torque release determination unit may determine that the two- .
The torque release determination unit may compare the wheel slip torque and the oscillation torque, and if the oscillation torque is determined to be smaller than the wheel slip torque, it may be determined that the torque must be released to perform two-wheel drive travel.
When it is determined that the oscillation torque is larger than the wheel slip torque, the torque release determination unit compares the transmission output torque with the transmission reference torque, and if it is determined that the transmission output torque is smaller than the transmission reference torque, It can be judged that two-wheel drive should be performed.
Further, the torque release mode determining section classifies the release mode into a first mode, a second mode and a third mode according to the state of the vehicle, the first mode abruptly releases the torque more rapidly than the second mode, 2 mode can release torque more rapidly than the third mode.
If it is determined that the vehicle speed of the vehicle is '0', the torque release mode determination unit determines whether the current control torque is greater than the reference torque. If the control torque is greater than the reference torque It is determined whether the vehicle is a ramp or not, and if it is determined that the vehicle is a ramp, the release mode may be determined to be the third mode.
If it is determined that the absolute value of the steering angle is greater than the reference steering angle, the torque release mode determining unit may determine that the release mode is the third mode if it is determined that the absolute value of the steering angle is greater than the reference steering angle.
The torque release mode determining unit may determine the release mode to be the second mode when it is determined that the absolute value of the steering angle is smaller than the reference steering angle.
Further, the torque release mode determining unit may determine the release mode as the second mode if it is determined that the control torque is larger than the reference torque.
If it is determined that the vehicle is not an automatic transmission, the torque release mode determination unit determines whether the automatic transmission is currently shifting, if the vehicle is determined to be an automatic transmission, It is determined that the release mode is the second mode.
The torque release mode determining unit may determine that the target stage is smaller than the reference stage when it is determined that the automatic transmission is currently shifting, and may determine the release mode as the first mode if the target stage is determined to be smaller than the reference stage.
Also, the torque release mode determining unit may determine the release mode to be the second mode if it is determined that the target stage is larger than the reference stage.
The control apparatus for a four-wheel drive vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention determines the point of time when four-wheel drive is unnecessary, releases the torque, and travels in a two-wheel drive manner, thereby achieving efficient four-wheel drive, Can be minimized.
In addition, the controller of the four-wheel drive vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention can reduce the noise and impact by applying the torque slope differently according to the current state of the vehicle when the torque is released.
