Description

A METHOD AND A CONTROL ARRANGEMENT FOR SHIFTING A GEARBOX OF A POWERTRAIN FOR A VEHICLE TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates to a method and a control arrangement for shifting a gearbox of a powertrain for a vehicle. The invention also relates to a powertrain for a vehicle and to a vehicle provided with such a powertrain. The invention also relates to a computer program product and to computer-readable medium. In particular, the present invention relates to a method and control arrangement for a powertrain of a vehicle powered solely by batteries, so called BEV vehicles.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART Powertrains for vehicles provided with an electric machine as sole propulsion source may have a gearbox with a first gear to be able to fulfil demands for startability and gradeability. The gear ratio of the first gear in the gearbox may be based on the weight and type of the vehicle. The gearbox may also have higher gears to make it possible to operate the electric machine at operating conditions where the efficiency of the electric machine may be good or optimal.
The gearbox may be provided between the electric machine and a propeller shaft coupled to the drive wheels of the vehicle. The gearbox may comprise an input shaft coupled to the electric machine and an output shaft coupled to the propeller shaft. The gearbox may comprise a planetary gear, which may be connected to an electric machine. The planetary gear may be connected to the output shaft. The gears in the gearbox may be shifted by connecting and disconnecting components of the planetary gear.
Planetary gears may comprise three components, which are rotatable arranged relative to each other namely, a sun gear wheel, a planet gear wheel carrier with planet gear wheels and a ring gear wheel. With knowledge of the number of teeth of the sun gear wheel and the ring gear wheel the relative speed of the three components can be determined during operation. The three components may be rotatable and may alternately be connected to an input shaft. The planet gear wheels may be rotatable mounted on the planet gear wheel carrier. The planet gear wheels may engage the sun gear wheel. The ring gear wheel may surround and engage the planet gear wheels. The ring gear wheel may be axially displaceable for shifting gears. When displacing the ring wheel axially, the ring gear wheel may be connected to the sun gear wheel, the planet gear wheel carrier and/or a housing which may surround the planetary gear. The three components may alternately be connected to an output shaft.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION However, for optimization regarding the startability of the vehicle and the efficiency of an electric machine as a propulsion source, there may be a need for a powertrain that may comprise a gearbox with different gear ratios to choose from. There may also be a need to further develop a powertrain that may comprise a gearbox that may have a plurality of gears that may cover different operation conditions for different types of the vehicles.
The object of the invention may therefore be to provide a method for shifting a gearbox of a powertrain for a vehicle, which gearbox may comprise different gear ratios to choose from.
A further object of the invention may be to provide a method for shifting a gearbox of a powertrain for a vehicle, which gearbox may have a plurality of gears that may cover different operation conditions for different types of the vehicles.
These objects may be achieved by the method according to the appended claims.
According to the invention the method for shifting a gearbox in of powertrain of a vehicle may comprise the step of changing the rotational direction of the electric machine during shifting from one gear to another in the gearbox. The powertrain may comprise an electric machine, a planetary gear provided in the gearbox, which planetary gear may be connected to the electric machine, and an output shaft of the gearbox, which may be connectable to the planetary gear. The planetary gear may comprise a ring gear wheel, a sun gear wheel, a planet gear wheel carrier and at least one planet gear wheel rotatably arranged on the planet gear wheel carrier.
The method may make it possible to shift the gearbox between pluralities of gears that may cover different operation conditions for different types of electric vehicles. The gearbox comprises a planetary gear and some of the components in the planetary gear may rotate in different directions. Thus, it may be possible to alternate the rotational direction of the electric machine in order to adapt the rotational direction of the electric machine to a rotational direction of a specific component of the planetary gear. Comparing to, for example, an internal combustion engine, the electric machine may be designed for changing the rotational direction without using complex components.
The gearbox may comprise solely one planetary gear. Thus, it may be possible to shift the gearbox between pluralities of gears that may cover different operation conditions for different types of electric vehicles using solely one planetary gear in the gearbox.
The propulsion source of the powertrain may be solely electrically powered. For example, the vehicle may be a battery electric vehicle, BEV. The powertrain may thus lack an internal combustion engine.
According to an aspect of the invention, the method may further comprise the step of, before the step of changing the rotational direction of the electric machine, when the ring gear wheel may be locked and prevented from rotation, and the planet gear wheel carrier may be connected to the output shaft so that a first gear is engaged in the gearbox: preventing the planet gear wheel carrier from rotating. When the planetary gear may stand still, the planet gear wheel carrier may be prevented from rotating by locking the planet gear wheel carrier to a component that may stand still, such as the gearbox housing.
According to a further aspect of the invention, the planet gear wheel carrier may be prevented from rotation by connecting the planet gear wheel carrier to a gearbox housing by means of a first connecting element. The planet gear wheel carrier may effectively be locked and prevented from rotation when the planet gear wheel carrier may be connected to the gearbox housing. The first connecting element may be an axial displaceable sleeve provided with a splines connection which may connect to a corresponding splines connection arranged on the gearbox housing and on the planet gear wheel carrier.
According to a further aspect of the invention, the method may further comprise the step of, before the step of preventing the planet gear wheel carrier from rotating: reducing the rotational speed of the planetary gear to a standstill condition. When the planetary gear may stand still, components of the planetary gear may easily be connected or disconnected from each other. When the planetary gear stand still, components of the planetary gear may easily be locked by connecting them to for example the gearbox housing. The rotational speed of the planetary gear may be reduced to a standstill condition by means of the electric machine or a braking arrangement. In the present specification, the term “standstill” means substantially standstill and may include a slight difference in speed between the different components of the planetary gear when shifting gears. The slight difference in speed between the components may simplify the connection of the components of the planetary gear.
According to a further aspect of the invention, the rotational speed of the planetary gear may be reduced to a standstill condition by means of the electric machine. The electric machine may also be arranged as a generator, which generates a braking torque on the planetary gear. Thus, the electric machine may brake the planet gear at some shifting step. This braking torque may reduce the rotational speed of the planetary gear to a standstill condition. However, there may be a slight difference in speed between the different components of the planetary gear when shifting gears. Therefore, the electric machine may brake the planet gear at some shifting step. This braking torque may reduce the rotational speed of the planetary gear, so that there may be a slight difference in speed between the different components of the planetary gear.
According to a further aspect of the invention, the method may further comprise the step of, before the step of reducing the rotational speed of the electric machine to a standstill condition: disconnecting the output shaft from the planetary gear. When the output shaft is disconnected from the planetary gear no torque or rotational speed from the output shaft may influence on planetary gear. This may simplify shifting of gears in the gearbox.
According to a further aspect of the invention, the method may further comprise the step of, before the step of disconnecting the output shaft from the planetary gear: generating torque balance between the planet gear wheel carrier and the output shaft by means of the electric machine. When shifting gears in the gearbox some of the components of the planetary gear may be disconnected and other components may thereafter or simultaneous be connected. Before disconnecting the output shaft from the planetary gear torque balance may be generated between the planet gear wheel carrier and the output shaft by means of the electric machine. This may be achieved by detecting the torque on the rotor of the electric machine and detecting the torque on the output shaft. Torque balance has been achieved when no torque or a small amount of torque may be transmitted between the planet gear wheel carrier and the output shaft.
According to a further aspect of the invention, the method may further comprise the step of, after the step of changing the rotational direction of the electric machine: synchronizing the speed between ring gear wheel and the output shaft by means of the electric machine. When changing the rotational direction of the electric machine, the ring gear wheel and the output shaft may rotate in the same direction. Thus, it may be possible to synchronize the speed between ring gear wheel and the output shaft by means of the electric machine.
According to a further aspect of the invention, the method may further comprise the step of, after the step of synchronizing the speed between ring gear wheel and the output shaft by means of the electric machine: connecting the ring gear wheel and the output shaft. When the rotational speed of the ring gear wheel and the output shaft is synchronized, the ring gear wheel and the output shaft may be connected.
According to a further aspect of the invention, the ring gear wheel and the output shaft may be connected by means of a second connecting element. The ring gear wheel may effectively be connected to the output shaft by means of the second connecting element. The second connecting element may be an axial displaceable sleeve provided with a splines connection which may connect to a corresponding splines connection arranged on the gearbox housing and on the planet gearwheel carrier.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 shows schematically a vehicle 1 in a side view, provided with a powertrain 2, which may comprise a gearbox 4 with a gearbox housing 5. The gearbox 4 may be shifted by a method according to an embodiment. The powertrain 2 may also comprise an electric machine 6 as propulsion source. Drive wheels 10 may be coupled to the gearbox 4 via a propeller shaft 12.
Fig. 2 schematically illustrates a cross section of a gearbox 4 according to an embodiment. The electric machine 6 of the powertrain 2 may be provided with a rotor 14. The gearbox 4 may comprise a planetary gear 18.
The planetary gear 18 may be connected to the electric machine 6. The planetary gear 18 may comprise a ring gear wheel 22, a sun gear wheel 24, a planet gear wheel carrier 26 and at least one planet gear wheel 28 rotatable arranged on the planet gear wheel carrier 26.
The rotor 14 of the electric machine 6 may be connected to the sun gear wheel 24. The sun gear wheel 24 may selectively be connected to the ring gear wheel 22 and the planet gear wheel carrier 26 by means of a first connecting element 40. The ring gear wheel 22 and the planet gear wheel carrier 26 may selectively be connected to the gearbox housing 5 by means of the first connecting element 40. The ring gear wheel 22 and the planet gear wheel carrier 26 may selectively be connected to an output shaft 38 of the gearbox 4 by means of a second connecting element 42. The first and second connecting elements 40, 42 may be arranged as displaceable sleeves provided with splines, which connect with corresponding splines provided on the sun gear wheel 24, the planet gear wheel carrier 26, the ring gear wheel 22, the output shaft 38 and on the gearbox housing 5. The first connecting element 40 may be axially displaced by means of a first actuator 44. The second connecting element 42 may be axially displaced by means of a second actuator 46.
The torque and speed of the electric machine 6 may be controlled when shifting gears in the gearbox 4. Therefore, at least one sensor 48 may be arranged at the powertrain 8 for detecting torque and speed of the rotor 14, and also for detecting speed of the output shaft 38.
The electric machine 6, the first actuator 44, the second actuator 46 and the sensors 48 may be connected to a control unit 50 and/or a computer 52. A computer program product P may comprise instructions which, when the program is executed by the computer 52, may cause the computer 52 to carry out method steps for shifting gears in the gearbox 4.
Fig. 3 shows a gear shifting scheme of the gearbox 4 according to the embodiment in Fig. 2. The first connecting element 40 may be lockable and prevented from rotation when the gearbox 4 may be shifted into a first gear. The first connecting element 40 may be connected to the ring gear wheel 22, which may be locked and prevented from rotation by the first connecting element 40 when the gearbox 4 may be shifted into a first gear. The second connecting element 42 may connect the planet gear wheel carrier 26 to the output shaft 38 when the gearbox 4 may be shifted into a first gear. When the gearbox 4 may be shifted into a first gear and the vehicle 1 may be running in a forward direction the rotor 14 of the electric machine 6 may rotate in a first direction.
When the gearbox 4 may be shifted into a second gear, the electric machine 6 may be controlled to generate torque balance between second connecting element 42, the planet gear wheel carrier 26 and the output shaft 38. When torque balance may have been achieved, the second connecting element 42 may be displaced to a neutral position. Thereafter the planetary gear 18 may be stopped to a standstill position by means of the electric machine 6. At the standstill position of the planetary gear 18, the first connecting element 40 may be displaced to a position in which the planet gearwheel carrier 26 may be locked and prevented from rotation. Thereafter, the rotor 14 may be rotated in a second direction at a rotational speed, so that the speed of the ring gear wheel 22 may be synchronized with the speed of the output shaft 38. When the speed of the ring gear wheel 22 may be synchronized with the speed of the output shaft 38 the second connecting element 42 is displaced in order to connect the ring gear wheel 22 with the output shaft 38. The vehicle 1 may be running in the forward direction on the second gear. However, there may be a small difference in speed between the different components of the planetary gear 18 when shifting gears. The small difference in speed between the components may simplify the connection of the components of the planetary gear 18. The small difference in speed between the components may simplify the axially displacing the first and second connecting elements 40, 42.
The gearbox 4 may be shifted into a third gear by two shifting alternatives depending on how the torque should be transferred through the gearbox 4. According to a first alternative, the electric machine 6 may be controlled to generate torque balance between second connecting element 42, the ring gear wheel 22 and the output shaft 38. When torque balance may have been achieved, the second connecting element 42 may be displaced to a neutral position. Thereafter the planetary gear 18 may be stopped to a standstill position by means of the electric machine 6. At the standstill position of the planetary gear 18, the first connecting element 40 may be displaced to a position in which the planet gear wheel carrier 26 may be connected to the sun gear wheel 24. Thereafter, the rotor 14 may be rotated in the first direction at a rotational speed, so that the speed of the planet gear wheel carrier 26 may be synchronized with the speed of the output shaft 38. When the speed of the planet gear wheel carrier 26 is synchronized with the speed of the output shaft 38 the second connecting element 42 is displaced in order to connect the planet gear wheel carrier 26 with the output shaft 38. The vehicle 1 may be running in the forward direction on the third gear.
According to a second shifting alternative, when shifting from the second gear to the third gear, the electric machine 6 may be controlled to generate torque balance between first connecting element 40 and the planet gear wheel carrier 26. When torque balance may have been achieved, the first connecting element 40 may be displaced to a neutral position. Thereafter, the rotor 14 may be rotated in the first direction at a rotational speed, so that the speed of the planet gear wheel carrier 26 may be synchronized with the speed of the sun gear wheel 24. When the speed of the planet gear wheel carrier 26 may be synchronized with the speed of the sun gear wheel 24 the first connecting element 40 is displaced in order to connect the planet gear wheel carrier 26 with the sun gear wheel 24. The second connecting element 42 may remain its position, so that the ring gear wheel 22 is connected to the output shaft 38 by means of the second connecting element 42. The vehicle 1 may be running in the forward direction on the third gear. However, the torque will pass through the teeth of the planet gear wheels 28 and the ring gear wheel 22, which may lead to wear of the contact surfaces between the teeth of the planet gear wheels 28 and the ring gear wheel 22.
The vehicle 1 may be running in a rearward direction if the electric machine 6 may rotate in an opposite direction to that direction when the vehicle 1 is running in the forward direction.
Fig. 4 shows a flow chart for a method for shifting a gearbox 4 of a powertrain 2 for a vehicle 1 according to an embodiment. According to the embodiment the method for shifting a gearbox 4 of a powertrain 2 of a vehicle 1, may comprise the step of changing s101 the rotational direction of the electric machine 6 during shifting from one gear to another in the gearbox 4. For example, the rotational direction of the electric machine 6 may be changed when shifting from one forward gear to a subsequent (that is, one step higher or one step lower) forward gear. The powertrain 2 may comprise an electric machine 6 with a rotor 14, a planetary gear 18 provided in the gearbox 4, which planetary gear 18 may be connected to the electric machine 6, and an output shaft 38 of the gearbox 4, which may be connectable to the planetary gear 18. The planetary gear 18 may comprise a ring gear wheel 22, a sun gear wheel 24, a planet gear wheel carrier 26 and at least one planet gear wheel 28 rotatably arranged on the planet gear wheel carrier 26. The method may make it possible to shift the gearbox 4 between pluralities of gears that may cover different operation conditions for different types of vehicles 1. The gearbox 4 may comprise a planetary gear 18 and some of the components in the planetary gear 18 may rotate in different directions. Thus, it may be possible to alternate the rotational direction of the electric machine 6 in order to adapt the rotational direction of the electric machine 6 to a rotational direction of a specific component of the planetary gear 18. Comparing to, for example, an internal combustion engine, the electric machine 6 may be designed for changing the rotational direction without using complex components.

The method may further comprise the step of, before the step of preventing s101 the planet gear wheel carrier 26 from rotating: reducing s103 the rotational speed of the planetary gear 18 to a standstill condition.

The method may further comprise the step of, before the step of disconnecting s104 the output shaft 38 from the planetary gear 18: generating s105 torque balance between the planet gear wheel carrier 26 and the output shaft 38 by means of the electric machine 6.
The method may further comprise the step of, after the step of changing s101 the rotational direction of the electric machine 6: synchronizing s106 the speed between ring gear wheel 22 and the output shaft 38 by means of the electric machine 6.
The method may further comprise the step of, after the step of synchronizing s106 the speed between ring gear wheel 22 and the output shaft 38 by means of the electric machine 6: connecting s107 the ring gear wheel 22 and the output shaft 38.
The method may be finished after step s107. The steps of the method do not necessarily have to be performed in the presented order. Some of the steps may also be performed in parallel.
