Description

A method for gear shifting in a gearbox, a gearbox and a vehicle BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART The invention relates to a method for gear shifting in a gearbox according to the preamble of patent claim 1. The invention also relates to a gearbox according to the preamble of patent claim 17, which is controlled by means of such a method. The invention also relates to a vehicle according to the preamble of patent claim 18, which comprises such a gearbox.
Vehicles, and in particular heavy goods vehicles, e.g. trucks, are usually equipped with a gearbox connected to the combustion engine, which gearbox may be automatic, manual or a combination thereof. In an automated manual transmission, a so-called AMT gearbox, the gearbox is controlled by an electronic control device. Such a gearbox may be equipped with a main gearbox device provided with a main shaft. A lay shaft is arranged in parallel to the main shaft. The main shaft is connectible to an input shaft via the lay shaft and to an output shaft in the gearbox via a range gearbox device, if such a range gearbox device is integrated in the gearbox. The gearbox may also be equipped with a split gear device, arranged between the input shaft and the lay shaft. The range gearbox device may constitute a separate device instead of being integrated in the gearbox. In addition to the combustion engine, also an electrical machine may be arranged between the combustion engine and the gearbox. The combustion engine can together with the electrical machine deliver power to the vehicle as a hybride drive or as an alternative may one of the combustion engine or the electrical machine deliver power to the vehicle.
A brake mechanism may be arranged to retard the lay shaft in connection with change of gears in the gearbox, in order to achieve synchronous rotational speeds between the lay shaft and the main shaft, so that the new gear may be engaged without any difference in rotation speed existing between those transmission parts in the gearbox which are brought to engage with each other at the moment the new gear is engaged. The brake mechanism is thus used to retard the lay shaft in relation to the main shaft at a stage during a shifting operation when the main gearbox is in the neutral position, while the lay shaft is disconnected from the main shaft.
In gearboxes of this type, the synchronization devices, comprising conical synchronization rings and coupling rings, may be replaced by toothed operating sleeves, which are displaced axially in order to engage with gearwheels placed on the main shaft. Each gearwheel placed on the main shaft is engaged with corresponding gearwheel elements, which are firmly attached to the lay shaft. On shifting, the operating sleeve is displaced axially in order to engage with coupling teeth arranged on a selectable gearwheel, in order to connect the gearwheel to, and rotation lock it, on the main shaft. The synchronization device in the split gearbox device and in the range gearbox device may also be replaced by toothed operating sleeves.
The range gearbox device is usually provided between the main gearbox device and a propeller shaft coupled to the drive wheels of the vehicle. The range gearbox device is accommodated in a gearbox housing and comprises an input shaft coupled to the main gearbox device, an output shaft and between the input shaft and the output shaft is the planetary gear disposed. The planetary gear usually comprises three components, which are rotatable arranged relative to each other namely a sun gear, a planet carrier with planet gears and a ring gear. With knowledge of the number of teeth of the sun gear and the ring gear the relative speed of the three components can be determined during operation. In a range gearbox device the sun gear can be rotatable connected to the input shaft, a number of planet gears which engage said sun gear, which planet gears are rotatable mounted on the planet carrier which is fixedly connected to the output shaft, and an axially displaceable ring gear which surrounds and engages the planet gears. The teeth of the sun gear, planet gears and ring gear can be helical, that is, they have an angle to a common rotation axis of the sun gear, planet carrier and ring gear.
There are range gearboxes in which the synchronization devices are replaced with coupling sleeves provided with splines. By controlling the transmission to synchronous speed between the two components to be assembled an axial displacement of the coupling sleeve along the two components is made possible in order to connect them. When the components should be detached the transmission is controlled so that torque balance occurs between the components so that the coupling sleeve is not transmitting torque. It then becomes possible to move the coupling sleeve axially along the components in order to disengage them from each other.
The torque balance is a condition where a torque acting on the ring gear, corresponding to the product of the torque acting on the planet carrier and the gear ratio of the planetary gear while a torque acts on the sun gear, corresponding to the product of the torque acting on the planet carrier and (1 - the gear ratio of the planetary gear). In the case that two of the components of the planetary gear, sun gear, ring gear or planet carrier, are coupled together by a coupling sleeve, the coupling sleeve transmits no torque between the planetary gear elements when torque balance occurs. Thus, the coupling sleeve can be easily displaced and the planetary gear components released.
Document DE102008001650 relates to a powertrain provided with an internal combustion engine, a main gear and an auxiliary transmission such as a range gear provided with a planetary gear, arranged downstream to the main gear. The range gear is coupled to an electric machine, such as an electrical motor or generator, which may be used for synchronizing gears and shafts when shifting gears.
Document WO2012084331 relates to a transmission comprising a main gearbox and a rear mounted range gearbox connected downstream of the main gearbox and designed as a planetary gear. An electric machine is connected to a further planetary gear downstream the main gearbox.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Despite prior art, there is a need to develop a method, which makes it possible to shift gears in a gearbox with the use of a small amount of energy. There is also a need to develop a method, which makes it possible to shift gears in a gearbox within a short period of time. There is a further need to develop a method, which makes it possible to shift gears in a gearbox without need of an electric accumulator.
The object of the invention is thus to provide a method for gear shifting in a gearbox of the type defined in the introduction, which makes it possible to shift gears in a gearbox with the use of a small amount of energy.
Another object of the invention is to provide a method, which makes it possible to shift gears in a gearbox within a short period of time.
A further object of the invention is to provide a method, which makes it possible to shift gears in a gearbox without need of an electric accumulator.
These objectives are achieved with a method, which is characterised by the features specified in patent claim 1.
These objectives are also achieved with a gearbox, which is characterised by the features specified in patent claim 17.
These objectives are also achieved with a vehicle, which is characterised by the features specified in patent claim 18.
The method according to the invention comprises the following steps of: a) generate torque balance between at least two of the first planetary gear components by means of the first and second electrical machines and disen gage at least two of the first planetary gear components from each other by means of a first coupling element, b) generate torque balance in the range gearbox device by means of the first and second electrical machines, c) shift gear in the range gearbox device to a neutral gear, so that the second planetary gear components are free to rotate in relation to each other, d) synchronize the speed between second planetary gear components in the range gearbox device by means of at least one of the first and second electrical machines, and e) engage a gear in the range gearbox device, by connecting at least two second planetary gear components to each other.
The method describes how the range gearbox device is shifted into the high range gear position wherein an upshift takes place in the second planetary gear. Before the range gearbox device is shifted into the high range gear position the range gearbox device is shifted into a neutral gear, which make it possible to synchronize the speed between a movable components in the second planetary gear. This means that a method for gear shifting in a gearbox is achieved, which makes it possible to shift gears with the use of a small amount of energy. Also, the method makes it possible to shift gears in a gearbox within a short period of time.
The powertrain may be provided with the internal combustion engine. However, the first and second electrical machines are designed to provide enough power and torque to the driving wheels for propulsion of the vehicle. Power to the first and second electrical machines may be provided from an energy storage such as an electrochemical energy storage arranged in the vehicle or from an external energy storage such as wires or other electrical conducting means (not disclosed) in the environment where the vehicle is used.
Further, the method makes it possible to shift gears in a gearbox without need of an electric storage. When torque balance and synchronization are generated by means of the first and second electrical machines one of the electrical machines, may generate electrical power to the other electrical machine. Thus, no electric storage is needed for rotating the electrical machines. An internal combustion engine may be connected to the first electrical machine, which is under certain operation modes driven by the internal combustion engine. The first electrical machine is under such circumstances generating electrical power to the second electrical machine. For this reason also shifting of gears in the gearbox can be performed using a small amount of energy. The traditional clutch is replaced by the first planetary gear and the two electrical machines, and therefore shifting gears can be made within a short period of time.
According to a further embodiment of the invention, the second planetary gear components comprise a second planetary gear with a second ring gearwheel, a second sun gearwheel and a second planet carrier, on which at least one second planet gearwheel is rotatable mounted, which second sun gearwheel is connected to a main shaft in the gearbox. With such a configuration of the range gearbox device the number of gears in the gearbox can be duplicated. Also, shifting gears can be made within a short period of time in such a range gearbox device. The second electrical machine is used to brake the second sun gearwheel for connection of the second sun gearwheel with the second planer carrier. According to this embodiment of the invention the deceleration of the speed of the second sun gearwheel to the same speed as the second planet carrier may be made by switching the second electrical machine into a braking mode. The second electrical machine will thus bring the second sun gearwheel to rotate with such a speed in relation to the second carrier.
According to a still further embodiment of the invention torque balance in the range gearbox device in step b) is generated between the second ring gearwheel and a gearbox housing.
According to a still further embodiment of the invention the second ring gearwheel in step c) is released from the gearbox housing by means of a second coupling element.
According to a still further embodiment of the invention, the gear in the range gearbox device is in step e) engaged by connecting the second planet carrier and the second sun gearwheel. Thus, the range gearbox device is shifted into the high range gear position.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the gearbox comprises a main gearbox device and a split gearbox device, and in step g) gears in the main gearbox device and/or in the split gearbox device are shifted to a neutral gear. When gears in the main gearbox device and in the split gearbox device are shifted to a neutral gear, both the main gearbox device and the split gearbox device are simultaneously prepared to be synchronized before gear shifting. Therefore, shifting gears can be made within a short period of time. The torque transmitting elements in the gearbox are according to an embodiment of the invention a lay shaft, a main shaft and gearwheels arranged on these shafts.
According to a further embodiment of the invention, the gears in the main gearbox device and/or in the split gearbox device are engaged in step i). The gears in the main gearbox device and in the split gearbox device may be engaged in sequence. Thus, shifting gears can be made within a short period of time.
According to a still further embodiment of the invention, the first planetary gear components of the first planetary gear comprises a first ring gearwheel, a first sun gearwheel and a first planet carrier, on which at least one first planet gearwheel is rotatable mounted, which first planet carrier is connected to the input shaft. Such a first planetary gear replaces a traditional clutch, which results in that shifting gears can be made within a short period of time.
According to a still further embodiment of the invention, the first electrical machine is arranged on the first sun gearwheel and the second electrical machine is arranged on the first ring gearwheel. Such a configuration of the first and second electrical machines at the first planetary gear components makes it possible to generate torque balance and synchronization in order to shifting gears in the gearbox. Therefore, shifting gears can be made within a short period of time and without the need of an electric accumulator.
According to a still further embodiment of the invention, the torque balance in step a) is generated between the first sun gearwheel and the first planet carrier. Using the first and second electrical machines to generate torque balance between at least two of the first sun gearwheel and the first planet carrier and disengage them by means of a first coupling element shifting gears can be made within a short period of time. Also the traditional clutch can be replaced.
According to a still further embodiment of the invention, the at least two of the first planetary gear components in step a) are disengaged from each other by means of the first coupling element are the first sun gearwheel and the first planet carrier. When torque balance has been generated between the first sun gearwheel and the first planet carrier they may be disengaged by means of a first coupling element comprising an axially displaceable sleeve provided with splines. Thus, shifting gears can be made within a short period of time.
According to a still further embodiment of the invention, the speed between rotatable torque transmitting elements in step h) is synchronized by means of accelerating the second electrical machine, so that the input shaft is reaching a synchronized speed for shifting gears in a split gearbox device in the gearbox. Accelerating the input shaft by means of the second electrical machine, shifting gears can be made within a short period of time.
According to a still further embodiment of the invention, the speed between rotatable torque transmitting elements in step h) is synchronized by means of a synchronizing device arranged in the split gearbox device in the gearbox, so that the input shaft is reaching a synchronized speed for shifting gears in the split gearbox device.
According to a still further embodiment of the invention, the speed between rotatable torque transmitting elements in step i) is synchronized by means of accelerating the lay shaft in the gearbox by means of the second electrical machine, so that a gearwheel in a main gearbox device is reaching a synchronized speed for shifting gears in the main gearbox device in the gearbox. Accelerating the lay shaft by means of the second electrical machine, shifting gears can be made within a short period of time.
According to a still further embodiment of the invention, the method comprises the further step of: j) synchronize the speed between at least two of the first planetary gear components by means of the first and second electrical machines and engage at least two of the first planetary gear components to each other by means of the first coupling element.
According to a still further embodiment of the invention, the at least two of the planetary gear components engaged to each other by means of the first coupling element in step j) are the first sun gearwheel and the first planet carrier.
According to a still further embodiment of the invention the torque balance in step b) also is generated by an internal combustion engine connected to the first planetary gear.
When torque balance and synchronization are generated by means of the first and second electrical machines the internal combustion engine rotates one of the electrical machines, which generates electrical power to the other electrical machine. Thus, no electric accumulator is needed for rotating the electrical machines. For this reason also shifting of gears in the gearbox can be performed using a small amount of energy.
The invention also relates to a computer program and a computer program product for performing the method according to the invention.

The range gearbox device 16 is connected to the main shaft 20 and to the propeller shaft 10. The propeller shaft 10 is connected to the driving wheels 8. However, the split gearbox device 12 can be excluded in the gearbox 6.
The gearbox 6 is also provided with a lay shaft 22 which comprises gearwheel elements 32a-32e, which are engaged with the input gearwheel 30e and the split gearwheel 30d, and the main gearwheels 30a-30c, respective.
A first planetary gear 24 is connected to the input shaft 18. The first planetary gear 24 comprises a first ring gearwheel 26, a first sun gearwheel 28 and a first planet carrier 34, on which at least one first planet gearwheel 36 is rotatable mounted. The first planet carrier 34 is connected to the input shaft 18. The first sun gearwheel 28 and the first planet carrier 34 may be engaged to each other by means of a first coupling element 38. The first coupling element 38 comprises preferably a first axially movable sleeve 40, which is equipped internally with splines 42. The first axially movable sleeve 40 is displaced axially in order to be brought into engagement with a transmission shaft 19 and the first planet carrier 34. The transmission shaft 19 is connected to the first sun gearwheel 28.
The axial displacement of the first axially movable sleeve 40 is provided by a shift fork 44 arranged in an outside circumferential groove 46 in the first axially movable sleeve 40. The shift fork 44 is influenced by a power means 48. The power means 48 may be a pneumatic, hydraulic or electric cylinder.
First and second electrical machines 50, 52 are arranged to rotate and brake the first planetary gear 24. The first electrical machine 50 is arranged at the first sun gearwheel 28 and the second electrical machine 52 is arranged at the first ring gearwheel 26.
If the powertrain 2 is provided with an internal combustion engine 4 it may be connected to the first sun gearwheel 28 of the first planetary gear 24.
A brake mechanism 58 may be connected to the lay shaft 22 for retarding the lay shaft 22 when shifting gears in the gearbox 6.
The electrical machines 50, 52 may generate driving torque or brake torque on the input shaft 18. The electrical machines 50, 52 may be connected to an electric storage 60 which delivers electrical power to the electrical machines 50, 52 or receives electrical power from the electrical machines 50, 52 when the electrical machines 50, 52 generate brake torque on the input shaft 18.
The main gearbox device 14 comprises operating main gear sleeves 62a, 62b, which are equipped internally with splines 42. Each main gear sleeve 62a, 62b is displaced axially in order to be brought into engagement with the main gearwheels 30a-30c and the split gearwheel 30d placed on the main shaft 20. The main gearwheels 30a-30c and the split gearwheel 30d are free to rotate in relation to the main shaft 20 when the main gear sleeves 62a, 62b disengage the main gearwheels 30a-30c and the split gearwheel 30d from the main shaft 20. Each main gearwheel 30a-30c, placed on the main shaft 20, is engaged with corresponding gearwheel elements 32a-32c, which are fixed to the lay shaft 22. On shifting, the operating main gear sleeve 62a, 62b is displaced axially from a disengaged position to an engaged position in order to engage with splines 42 arranged on a selectable main gearwheel 30a-30c and the split gearwheel 30d in order to connect the gearwheel 30a-30c and the split gearwheel 30d to, and rotation lock it, on the main shaft 20. Alternatively, the axially displaceable main gear sleeves 62a, 62b may also be brought into engagement with the main gearwheels 30a-30c and the split gearwheel 30d by means of synchronization means (not disclosed).
The split gear box device 12 comprises an operating split gear sleeve 64, which is equipped internally with splines 42. The split gear sleeve 64 is displaced axially in order to be brought into engagement with the input gearwheel 30e and the split gearwheel 30d, placed on the input shaft 18 and the main shaft 20, respective. However, for the gearwheel 30d to be free to rotate in relation to the main shaft 20 also the axially displaceable main gear sleeve 62b must disengage the gearwheel 30d from the main shaft 20. The gearwheels 30d, 30e are free to rotate in relation to the input shaft 18 when the split gear sleeve 64 disengages the gearwheels 30d, 30e from the input shaft 18. However, also the main gear sleeve 62b must disengage the gearwheel 30d from the main shaft 20 so that that gearwheel 30d is free to rotate in relation to the main shaft 20. The gearwheels 30d, 30e, placed on the input shaft 18 and the main shaft 20, are engaged with corresponding gearwheel elements 32d, 32e, which are fixed to the lay shaft 22. On shifting, the split gear sleeve 64 is displaced axially from a disengaged position to an engaged position in order to engage with splines 42 arranged on a selectable gearwheel 30d, 30e in order to connect the input gearwheel 30e or the split gearwheel 30d to, and rotation lock it, with the input shaft 18. Alternatively, the axially displaceable split gear sleeve 64 may also be brought into engagement with the input gearwheel 30e and the split gearwheel 30d by means of a synchronization device 65 (fig. 5), comprising conical synchronization rings and coupling rings. However, according to one embodiment the electrical machines 50, 52, the internal combustion engine 4 and the brake mechanism 58 connected to the lay shaft 22 are used to synchronize the gearbox 6 when shifting gears. The main gear sleeve 62b may also be used to be brought into engagement with the split gear wheel 30d when the split gear wheel 30d is engaged with the input shaft 18 by means of the split gear sleeve 64. Thus, a direct connection between the input shaft 18 and the main shaft 20 is achieved, wherein the gear ratio in the split and main gearbox devices is 1 :1.
The range gearbox device 16 comprises a second planetary gear 66 which has a low and a high gear, so that the shifting capability of the gearbox 6 can be divided into a low range gear position and a high range gear position. In a first gear position corresponding to the low range gear position a downshift takes place in the second planetary gear 66. In the high range gear position the gear ratio is 1 :1 in the second planetary gear 66. Fig. 2 shows the range gearbox device 16 in the first gear position, corresponding to the low range gear position.
The range gearbox device 16 is accommodated in a gearbox housing 68, which surrounds the gearbox 6, and is connected to the main shaft 20 of the main gearbox device 14. The second planetary gear 66 comprises three main components which are rotatable arranged in relation to each other, namely a second sun gearwheel 70, a second planet carrier 72 and a second ring gearwheel 74. A number of second planet gearwheels 78 are rotatable arranged on the second planet carrier 72. With knowledge of the number of teeth 76 of second sun gearwheel 70 and the second ring gearwheel 74, the relative gear ratio of the three components can be determined. The second sun gearwheel 70 is connected to the main shaft 20, which extends out of the main gearbox device 14. The second planet gearwheels 78 engage the second sun gearwheel 70. The second ring gearwheel 74 surrounds and engages the second planet gearwheels 78.
A second coupling element 86 comprising a second axially displaceable coupling sleeve 88 is in a first gear position arranged to connect the gearbox housing 68 with the second ring gearwheel 74 and in a second gear position arranged to disconnect the gearbox housing 68 from the second ring gearwheel 74. The second axially movable coupling sleeve 88 is in the first gear position arranged to disconnect the second sun gearwheel 70 from the second planet carrier 72. The second axially movable coupling sleeve 88 is in a second gear position arranged to connect the second sun gearwheel 70 to the second planet carrier 72.
