- Patent Document 1 As a transmission for a hybrid vehicle including an internal combustion engine and a rotating electric machine as a driving force source for wheels, for example, a device described in Patent Document 1 below is already known.
- This hybrid vehicle is not provided with an element that absorbs the rotational speed of the driving force source unlike a torque converter.
- the friction engagement element provided in the speed change mechanism is controlled to be in a slip engagement state when the vehicle starts, when traveling at an extremely low speed, or when the internal combustion engine is started. The rotational speed of the driving force source is absorbed.
- an input member that is drivingly connected to an internal combustion engine and a rotating electric machine as a driving force source of a vehicle, an output member that is drivingly connected to a wheel, and a plurality of friction members according to the engagement state of a plurality of friction engagement elements
- a transmission mechanism that changes the rotational speed of the input member at a transmission ratio of each of the transmission stages and transmits the transmission speed to the output member.
- the friction engagement element includes a slip traveling mode in which a vehicle travels while transmitting torque from the input member to the output member in a state where one of the friction engagement elements is slid, and is slid in the slip traveling mode.
- the slip engagement element is common to at least a forward start shift stage that is one of the shift stages used for forward start and a reverse start shift stage that is one of the shift stages used for reverse start. Engaged It lies in the a frictional engagement element.
- the “rotary electric machine” is used as a concept including a motor (electric motor), a generator (generator), and a motor / generator that functions as both a motor and a generator as necessary.
- driving connection refers to a state in which two rotating elements are connected so as to be able to transmit a driving force, and the two rotating elements are connected so as to rotate integrally, or the two This is used as a concept including a state in which two rotating elements are connected so as to be able to transmit a driving force via one or more transmission members.
- Such a transmission member examples include various members that transmit rotation at the same speed or a variable speed, and include, for example, a shaft, a gear mechanism, a belt, a chain, and the like.
- an engagement element that selectively transmits rotation and driving force such as a friction clutch or a meshing clutch, may be included.
- drive connection for each rotating element of the differential gear device, a state in which the three or more rotating elements included in the differential gear device are drivingly connected without intervening other rotating elements. Shall point to.
- the “speed ratio” is defined as the rotational speed of the input member and the output member defined by the number of teeth of each gear forming each gear when each gear is formed in the transmission mechanism. It is a ratio to the rotational speed, and in this application, is a value obtained by dividing the rotational speed of the input member by the rotational speed of the output member.
- the vehicle in the slip traveling mode, the vehicle is caused to travel while transmitting the torque from the input member to the output member while the friction engagement element is slid.
- the period during which the frictional engagement element is slid may be longer depending on the traveling state of the vehicle. For this reason, in the slip engagement element that is slid in the slip traveling mode, the generated frictional heat may increase.
- a slip traveling mode is executed when starting a forward or reverse vehicle, or when the vehicle travels at a low speed while generating electric power with a rotating electrical machine using the driving force of an internal combustion engine, an input member and an output member And the execution period of the slip traveling mode tends to be long.
- a slip engagement element that slides in such a slip traveling mode needs to have higher cooling performance and heat resistance performance against frictional heat than other friction engagement elements.
- the friction engagement element that increases the cooling performance and heat resistance performance against the frictional heat in the slip traveling mode is provided. Can be aggregated into one. Therefore, compared with the case where the cooling performance and heat resistance performance of the plurality of friction engagement elements are increased, the manufacturing cost can be reduced and the transmission can be downsized.
- the vehicle In the slip traveling mode, the vehicle is driven while transmitting the torque from the input member to the output member while the friction engagement element is slid. Therefore, if the transmission torque of the friction engagement element fluctuates, Characteristics vary. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the control accuracy of the transmission torque of the slip engagement element that is slid in the slip traveling mode.
- the slip engagement elements since the slip engagement elements are shared by the forward start shift speed and the reverse start shift speed, the friction engagement elements that increase the control accuracy of the transmission torque are integrated into one. Can do. Therefore, the manufacturing cost can be reduced and the transmission can be downsized as compared with the case where the control accuracy of the transmission torque of the plurality of friction engagement elements is increased.
- the slip engagement element is a friction engagement element that is released at a forward shift speed having a lower gear ratio after the forward start shift speed.
- the slip engagement element of the forward start gear stage that generates heat in the slip traveling mode can be released and cooled in the forward gear stage having the next low gear ratio.

- the plurality of friction engagement elements include at least a clutch and a brake, and the slip engagement element is the brake.
- the slip engagement element is a brake that is a friction engagement element in which one member is fixed to the non-rotating member. Therefore, when the slip engagement element includes a servo mechanism, the servo mechanism can be included in the non-rotating member. Thereby, compared with the case where a slip engagement element is a clutch, it can suppress that a centrifugal force acts on a servo mechanism by rotation of the input member and output member of a transmission, and the transmission torque of a slip engagement element It is possible to easily improve the control accuracy. In particular, when hydraulic pressure is used for the servo mechanism, fluctuations in hydraulic pressure due to centrifugal force can be suppressed, so that the effect of improving the control accuracy of transmission torque can be increased.
- the cooling mechanism of the slip engagement element can be arranged on the non-rotating member side, the arrangement of the cooling mechanism becomes easy and the cooling performance can be easily improved.

That is, the slip control unit 42 determines each gear device and frictional force of the transmission mechanism TM from the driving force source output torque transmitted to the input shaft I based on the driving force source output torque and the gear ratio of each gear device. An input member operating torque, which is a torque acting on the input member of the slip engagement element, is calculated via a coupling element or the like. Then, the slip control unit 42 calculates a target oil pressure (hydraulic pressure command) of the slip engagement element based on the input member action torque so as to obtain a transmission torque capacity of the magnitude of the input member action torque.

- the slip engagement element works so that the driving force source output torque that is acting can be transmitted to the output shaft O even in the slip engagement state. Therefore, as in the case where all the frictional engagement elements of the gear stage are in the direct engagement state, the speed change mechanism TM generates a torque having the magnitude of the torque obtained by multiplying the driving force source output torque by the gear ratio of the gear stage. It can be transmitted to the output shaft O.
- the slip control unit 42 sets the target hydraulic pressure (hydraulic pressure command) of the slip engagement element to a predetermined pressure and sets the slip engagement element to a predetermined value.

It is configured to perform feedback control to increase or decrease the command. That is, when the rotational speed of the input shaft I falls below the lower limit rotational speed or the power generation rotational speed, the slip control unit 42 decreases the hydraulic pressure command for the slip engagement element calculated based on the driving force source output torque. As a result, the transmission mechanism transmission torque is reduced, the total torque acting on the input shaft I is increased, and the rotational speed of the input shaft I is increased.

- the period during which the slip engagement element is slid may be longer.
- the slip traveling mode is executed when the forward or backward vehicle starts, the slip traveling mode is executed until the vehicle starts from the stop state and the vehicle speed increases because the inertia moment of the vehicle is large. The period tends to be long.
- the execution period of the slip traveling mode becomes longer.
- the execution period of the slip traveling mode is extended. Also, when the engine start mode is executed during start-up or during travel, the execution period of the slip travel mode becomes longer, such as until the start of the engine E is completed. Further, when these slip travel modes are executed, the rotational speed difference between the input / output members of the slip engagement element becomes large. For this reason, in the slip engagement element to be slid in such a slip traveling mode, the generated frictional heat may increase. Therefore, the slip engagement element that is slid in the slip traveling mode needs to have higher cooling performance and heat resistance performance against frictional heat than other friction engagement elements.
- (D) of FIG. 5 shows a state where the vehicle speed further increases, the direct connection input rotational speed becomes equal to or higher than the lower limit rotational speed, and the direct connection travel mode is selected instead of the slip travel mode.

Abstract
Description
また、本願において「駆動連結」とは、2つの回転要素が駆動力を伝達可能に連結された状態を指し、当該2つの回転要素が一体的に回転するように連結された状態、或いは当該2つの回転要素が一又は二以上の伝動部材を介して駆動力を伝達可能に連結された状態を含む概念として用いている。このような伝動部材としては、回転を同速で又は変速して伝達する各種の部材が含まれ、例えば、軸、歯車機構、ベルト、チェーン等が含まれる。また、このような伝動部材として、回転及び駆動力を選択的に伝達する係合要素、例えば摩擦クラッチや噛み合い式クラッチ等が含まれていてもよい。但し、差動歯車装置の各回転要素について「駆動連結」という場合には、当該差動歯車装置が備える3つ以上の回転要素に関して互いに他の回転要素を介することなく駆動連結されている状態を指すものとする。
また、本願において「変速比」とは、変速機構に各変速段が形成された場合の、各変速段を形成する各歯車の歯数等により規定される、入力部材の回転速度と出力部材の回転速度との比であり、本願では入力部材の回転速度を出力部材の回転速度で除算した値である。
上記の特徴構成によれば、スリップ係合要素が前進発進変速段と後進発進変速段とで共通化されるので、スリップ走行モードによる摩擦熱に対する冷却性能や耐熱性能を高くする摩擦係合要素を、1つに集約することができる。よって、複数の摩擦係合要素の冷却性能や耐熱性能を高くする場合に比べ、製造コストを低減することができるとともに、変速装置を小型化することができる。
また、スリップ係合要素の冷却機構を非回転部材側に配置することができるので、冷却機構の配置が容易になり、冷却性能を向上させ易くできる。
また、変速機構を収容するケースにブレーキを固定する場合は、ブレーキを変速機構内の外側に配置することができ、ブレーキの外形を大きくすることができる。よって、摩擦面の面積を大きくさせ易いため、摩擦熱を拡散させて冷却性能や耐熱性能を向上させ易くできるとともに、伝達トルクの制御精度を向上させ易くできる。

図1に示すように、変速機構TMは、2組の差動歯車装置PG1、PG2を組み合わせて構成される。また、変速機構TMは、複数の摩擦係合要素として、第一クラッチC1、第二クラッチC2、第三クラッチC3、第四クラッチC4、第一ブレーキB1、及び第二ブレーキB2を備えている。また、変速装置は、変速機構の各部材を内部に収容する非回転部材としてのケースCSを備えている。本実施形態では、ケースCSは、変速機構の各部材の少なくとも径方向外側を覆う筒状の部材であり、車両に固定されている。第一ブレーキB1及び第二ブレーキB2の一方の摩擦板はケースCSに固定されている。
第三回転要素E3であるリングギヤR1は、出力軸Oに駆動連結されている。
第四回転要素E4である第二サンギヤS2には、第一クラッチC1の係合によって、入力軸Iから第二差動歯車装置PG2のキャリアCA2を介してリングギヤR2に伝達された駆動力源のトルクが入力される。
変速装置は、変速装置の制御を行う変速制御装置31を備えている。また、ハイブリッド車両は、エンジンE、回転電機MG、及びエンジン分離クラッチLの制御を行う動力制御装置32を備えている。変速制御装置31及び動力制御装置32は、互いに情報の受け渡しを行い、協調して制御を行うことができるように構成されている。以下、各制御装置について説明する。
動力制御装置32は、エンジン制御部33、回転電機制御部34、及びエンジン分離クラッチ制御部35、並びにこれらの制御部を統合して制御を行う統合制御部36を備えている。エンジン制御部33、回転電機制御部34、エンジン分離クラッチ制御部35、及び統合制御部36は、互いに情報の受け渡しを行うことができるように構成されている。
統合制御部36は、アクセル開度及び車速、並びにバッテリの充電量等に応じて、入力軸Iに伝達される目標駆動力である目標出力トルクを算出するとともに、エンジンE及び回転電機MGの運転モードを決定し、エンジン目標出力トルク、回転電機目標出力トルク、及びエンジン分離クラッチの目標伝達トルク容量を算出し、それらを他の制御部33~35に指令して統合制御を行う機能部である。
エンジン制御部33は、エンジンEの動作制御を行う機能部である。本実施形態では、エンジン制御部33は、統合制御部36から指令されたエンジン目標出力トルクをトルク指令値に設定し、エンジンEがトルク指令値のトルクを出力するようにエンジンEを制御して燃焼を行わせる。また、運転モードがパラレルモードであり、エンジン目標出力トルクがゼロである場合は、エンジン制御部33は、エンジンEの出力トルクを増減させて、エンジンEの回転速度を所定の目標回転速度に維持するアイドリング回転速度フィードバック制御を行う。
回転電機制御部34は、回転電機MGの動作制御を行う機能部である。回転電機制御部34は、統合制御部36から指令された回転電機目標出力トルクをトルク指令値に設定し、回転電機MGがトルク指令値のトルクを出力するように回転電機MGを制御する。なお、エンジン発電モード、及び回生発電モードにおける回生発電中には、回転電機目標出力トルクは負に設定される。これにより、回転電機MGは正方向に回転しつつ負方向の回生トルクを出力して発電する。
エンジン分離クラッチ制御部35は、エンジン分離クラッチLを制御する機能部である。ここで、エンジン分離クラッチ制御部35は、統合制御部36から指令された目標伝達トルク容量に基づき、エンジン分離クラッチLの係合圧を制御することにより、エンジン分離クラッチLの係合又は解放を制御する。本実施形態においては、エンジン分離クラッチLは、基本的に滑りのない係合状態である直結係合状態に制御されている。
次に、本実施形態に係る変速制御装置31の構成について説明する。変速制御装置31は、図4に示すように、変速装置の動作制御を行う中核部材としての機能を果たしている。この変速制御装置31は、CPU等の演算処理装置を中核部材として備えると共に、当該演算処理装置からデータを読み出し及び書き込みが可能に構成されたRAM(ランダム・アクセス・メモリ)や、演算処理装置からデータを読み出し可能に構成されたROM(リード・オンリ・メモリ)等の記憶装置等を有して構成されている(不図示)。そして、ROM等に記憶されたソフトウェア(プログラム)又は別途設けられた演算回路等のハードウェア、或いはそれらの両方により、変速制御装置31の各機能部40~42が構成される。
入力軸回転速度センサSe1は、入力軸Iの回転速度を検出するためのセンサである。変速制御装置31は、入力軸回転速度センサSe1の入力信号に基づいて入力軸Iの回転速度を検出する。出力軸回転速度センサSe2は、出力軸Oの回転速度を検出するためのセンサである。変速制御装置31は、出力軸回転速度センサSe2の入力信号に基づいて出力軸Oの回転速度を検出する。また、出力軸Oの回転速度は車速に比例するため、変速制御装置31は、出力軸回転速度センサSe2の入力信号に基づいて車速を算出する。
変速制御部40は、変速機構TMの変速段を形成する変速制御を行う機能部である。変速制御部40は、車速、アクセル開度、及びシフト位置などのセンサ検出情報に基づいて変速機構TMにおける目標変速段を決定する。そして、変速制御部40は、図2に示す作動表などに基づき、目標変速段を構成する摩擦係合要素を決定する。そして、変速制御部40は、目標変速段を構成する摩擦係合要素を係合状態に制御するとともに、目標変速段を構成しない摩擦係合要素を解放状態に制御して、変速機構TMに目標変速段の変速段を形成する。なお、変速制御部40は、いずれの変速段も形成しないと決定した場合には、全ての摩擦係合要素B1、C1、・・・を解放状態に制御する。
一方、変速制御部40は、走行モードとしてスリップ走行モードを選択している場合は、変速段を構成する摩擦係合要素の一つであるスリップ係合要素を、その入出力部材間に滑りがある滑り係合状態に制御するスリップ制御を行う。以下では、スリップ制御が行われる場合について説明する。
走行モード選択部41は、各種運転条件に応じて走行モードを選択する機能部である。本実施形態では、走行モード選択部41は、エンジンEの運転状態、出力軸Oの回転速度(車速)、及び目標変速段に基づき、スリップ走行モード、及び直結走行モードのいずれかの走行モードを選択する。すなわち、走行モード選択部41は、エンジンEに燃焼を行わせて駆動力を発生させる各運転モードにおいて、目標変速段を構成する全ての摩擦係合要素を直結係合状態にした場合に、エンジンEの回転速度が、エンジンEの安定的な燃焼、又は発電のために必要な所定の判定回転速度未満になると判断される場合は、スリップ走行モードを選択し、エンジンEの回転速度が、所定の判定回転速度以上になると判断される場合は、直結走行モードを選択する。なお、エンジンEに燃焼を行わせて駆動力を発生させない各運転モードでは、走行モード選択部41は、直結走行モードを選択する。ここで、スリップ走行モードは、変速段を構成する摩擦係合要素の一つを滑らせた係合状態(滑り係合状態)で、入力軸Iから出力軸Oにトルクを伝達しつつ車両を走行させる走行モードであり、直結走行モードは、変速段を構成する全ての摩擦係合要素を滑りのない係合状態(直結係合状態)で、入力軸Iから出力軸Oにトルクを伝達しつつ車両を走行させる通常の走行モードである。
スリップ制御部42は、スリップ走行モードが選択されている場合に、変速段を構成する摩擦係合要素の一つであるスリップ係合要素を、その入出力部材間に滑りがある滑り係合状態に制御するスリップ制御を行う。
また、スリップ制御部42は、スリップ係合要素を、少なくとも、前進発進に用いられる変速段の一つである前進発進変速段と、後進発進に用いられる変速段の一つである後進発進変速段と、で共通して係合される摩擦係合要素に決定する。本実施形態では、スリップ係合要素を、前進発進に用いられる変速段である第一速段と、後進発進に用いられる変速段である後進第一速段又は後進第二速段と、で共通して係合される第二ブレーキB2に決定する。なお、変速段を構成する摩擦係合要素の内、スリップ係合要素でない摩擦係合要素である直結係合要素は、その入出力部材間に滑りがない直結係合状態に制御される。本実施形態では、目標変速段が第一速段である場合は、第一クラッチC1が直結係合要素に決定され、目標変速段が後進第一速段である場合は、第三クラッチC3が直結係合要素に決定される。また、目標変速段が後進第二速段である場合は、第四クラッチC4が直結係合要素に決定される。
次に、図5に基づき、パラレルモード及びスリップ走行モードにおいて、前進発進変速段(第一速段)のスリップ係合要素をスリップ制御しつつ、車両を発進させる場合の例を説明する。図5には、第一速段の速度線図を示しており、速度線図上に各差動歯車装置の各回転要素に作用しているトルクを重ねて示している。
図5の(a)は、スリップ係合要素がスリップ係合状態にされる前の状態を示している。図5の(a)の例では、エンジンEに燃焼をさせている状態で駆動力源から入力軸Iにトルクが出力されておらず、車両が停車している状態である。また、非走行レンジから前進の走行レンジに変更され、目標変速段は第一速段に決定されている。走行モード選択部41は、第一速段の直結入力回転速度が下限回転速度未満になる場合であるので、スリップ走行モードを選択している。なお、図5の(a)では、直結係合要素となる第一クラッチC1が既に直結係合状態に制御されており、スリップ係合要素となる第二ブレーキB2はスリップ係合状態に制御されていない。また、図5において、「●」は、摩擦係合要素が、直結係合状態にあることを示しており、「○」は、摩擦係合要素の入力部材と出力部材との間に回転速度差があり、摩擦係合要素が滑り係合状態又は解放状態にあることを示している。
図7の(a)は、図5の(a)と同様に、スリップ係合要素がスリップ係合状態にされる前の状態を示している。図7の(a)では、非走行レンジから後進の走行レンジに変更され、目標変速段は後進第一速段に決定されている。走行モード選択部41は、後進第一速段の直結入力回転速度が下限回転速度未満になる場合であるので、スリップ走行モードを選択している。
次に、本発明の第二の実施形態について説明する。上記の第一の実施形態では、変速機構TMが8つの前進変速段と2つの後進変速段とを備えていたが、本実施形態では、変速機構TMが6つの前進変速段と1つの後進変速段とを備えており、変速機構TMの構成が相違する。その他の構成は、第一の実施形態と同様とすることができる。従って、上記の第一の実施形態との相違点について以下に説明する。
第三回転要素E3であるリングギヤR1は、出力軸Oに駆動連結されている。
第四回転要素E4である第二サンギヤS2には、第一クラッチC1の係合によって、入力軸Iから第二差動歯車装置PG2のキャリアCA2を介してリングギヤR2に伝達された駆動力源のトルクが入力される。
次に、本発明の第三の実施形態について説明する。上記の第一の実施形態では、変速機構TMが8つの前進変速段と2つの後進変速段とを備えていたが、本実施形態では、変速機構TMが4つの前進変速段と1つの後進変速段とを備えており、変速機構TMの構成が相違する。その他の構成は、第一の実施形態と同様とすることができる。従って、上記の第一の実施形態との相違点について以下に説明する。
第三回転要素E3であるリングギヤR1は、出力軸Oに駆動連結されている。
第四回転要素E4である第二サンギヤS2には、第一クラッチC1の係合によって、入力軸Iから伝達された駆動力源のトルクが入力される。
次に、本発明の第四の実施形態について説明する。上記の第一の実施形態では、変速機構TMが8つの前進変速段と2つの後進変速段とを備えていたが、本実施形態では、変速機構TMが6つの前進変速段と2つの後進変速段とを備えており、変速機構TMの構成が相違する。その他の構成は、第一の実施形態と同様とすることができる。従って、上記の第一の実施形態との相違点について以下に説明する。
第三回転要素E3であるリングギヤR1は、出力軸Oに駆動連結されている。
第四回転要素E4である第二サンギヤS2には、第一クラッチC1の係合によって、入力軸Iから駆動力源のトルクが入力される。
最後に、本発明のその他の実施形態について説明する。なお、以下に説明する各実施形態の構成は、それぞれ単独で適用されるものに限られず、矛盾が生じない限り、他の実施形態の構成と組み合わせて適用することも可能である。
この場合、回転電機MGの駆動効率が良くなる回転速度、又は出力トルク変動が減少する回転速度が、スリップ走行モードを選択する条件となる所定の判定回転速度と設定されるようにしてもよい。そして、スリップ制御部42は、入力軸Iの回転速度が、回転電機MGについて設定された判定回転速度を下回らないように、駆動力源から入力軸Iに伝達されるトルクである駆動力源出力トルクの大きさに対して、入力軸Iから車輪側に伝達されるトルクである変速機構伝達トルクの大きさが制限されるように、スリップ係合要素を滑り係合状態に制御するようにしてもよい。
