- FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a control process at the time of switch downshift during the slip lockup control of the embodiment.
- step S1 it is determined whether or not the idle switch 1c is on. When the idle switch 1c is on, the process proceeds to step S2. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S9. This is to confirm that the coast running condition is satisfied.
- step S2 it is determined whether or not the fuel cut is in progress. If the fuel cut is in progress, it is determined that there is no torque fluctuation associated with the fuel cut, and the process proceeds to step S3. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S9.
- step S3 it is determined whether or not the switch downshift flag FSWD is on. If it is on, it is determined that a downshift due to the switch downshift occurs, and the process proceeds to step S4. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S9.
- step S4 it is determined whether or not the slip amount, which is the absolute value of the difference between the engine speed Ne and the turbine speed Nt, is equal to or less than a predetermined slip amount N1, and if not, the process proceeds to step S5. Advances to step S9. That is, if a predetermined pressure is added to the lockup differential pressure PLU when the slip amount is N1 or more, the lockup clutch 20 may be suddenly engaged and a fastening shock may be caused.
- step S5 it is determined whether or not the lock-up differential pressure PLU is equal to or higher than a predetermined pressure P1. If it is equal to or higher than P1, the process proceeds to step S6. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S9.
- step S6 a predetermined pressure ⁇ P corresponding to the inertia torque on the engine side is added to the lockup differential pressure PLU.
- the engine speed Ne can be increased as the turbine speed Nt increases.
- step S7 abnormality determination by the abnormality determination unit is prohibited. Therefore, even if the slip amount increases, the lockup clutch 20 is not released, and the feedback control of the lockup differential pressure PLU can be performed continuously.
- step S8 it is determined whether or not the gear ratio change amount ⁇ GR after the switch downshift flag FSWD is turned on is greater than or equal to a predetermined change amount ⁇ GR1. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S10.
- step S9 it is determined whether or not ⁇ P is being added to the lockup differential pressure PLU. If it is being added, the process proceeds to step S11. Otherwise, the control flow is terminated and the process is repeated from step S1.
- step S10 it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since ⁇ P was added to the lockup differential pressure PLU. If the predetermined time has not elapsed, this control flow is terminated and the process is repeated from step S1. That is, if the slip amount does not decrease even after a predetermined time has elapsed after adding ⁇ P to the lockup differential pressure PLU, the slip amount does not increase due to the switch downshift, but slips due to other causes. The amount is thought to be increasing. Further, if the feedback control is continued in a state where the slip amount is large, the lockup differential pressure PLU is set to a larger value, and there is a possibility that an engagement shock is caused when the lockup clutch 20 is engaged. Therefore, after a predetermined time has passed, the process proceeds from step S11 to step S12, the prohibition of abnormality determination is canceled, and the lockup clutch 20 is released to avoid a shock or the like associated with re-engagement.
- step S11 it is determined that any of the conditions of steps S1 to S5 is not satisfied, or that the downshift due to the switch downshift has sufficiently progressed, and the added ⁇ P is gradually decreased toward zero. At this time, if ⁇ P is suddenly decreased, the lockup differential pressure PLU may decrease at a stretch, which may cause torque fluctuation. Therefore, a change rate limiter or the like is set and gradually decreased.
- step S12 the abnormality determination prohibited in step S7 is canceled, and the abnormality determination by the abnormality determination unit is permitted to shift to normal lockup control.
- FIG. 3 is a time chart showing a control process at the time of switch downshift during the slip lockup control of the embodiment.
- a dotted line written in the column of PLU and rotation speed in the figure represents a comparative example when the switch downshift control is not performed.
- the first time point in the time chart represents an acceleration state in which the accelerator pedal is stepped on, and represents a time when the accelerator pedal is released from this state to shift to the coasting state.
- the accelerator pedal opening APO becomes less than a predetermined value, and the idle switch 1c is turned on.
- the engine speed Ne is maintained at an idling speed or higher by the torque from the drive wheels 4 via the lock-up clutch 20, and fuel injection is stopped by FC control.
- the switch downshift flag FSWD is turned on.
- the engine speed Ne cannot follow the increase in the turbine speed Nt, and the slip amount exceeds the second slip amount even if feedback control is performed.
- the abnormality determination by the abnormality determination unit is not prohibited, it is determined as abnormal and the lockup clutch 20 is released.
- the engine speed Ne decreases early, fuel injection is resumed and the engine rotates independently, and the number of sections in which FC control can be performed decreases, leading to deterioration in fuel consumption.
- ⁇ P is added to the lockup differential pressure PLU, and abnormality determination by the abnormality determination unit is also prohibited.
- the turbine rotational speed Nt increases, the engine rotational speed Ne is also increased at the same time, so that the lockup clutch 20 is not released.
- the slip lockup control can be continued by continuously performing the feedback control. Therefore, the engine speed Ne can be kept high, and deterioration of fuel consumption can be avoided by securing a section where FC control can be performed.
- Steps S1, S3, and S7 (prohibited unit) for prohibiting the determination by the abnormality determining unit when the variable continuously variable transmission mechanism 23 shifts to the low side are provided.
- the release of the lockup clutch 20 due to the abnormality determination can be avoided, and by maintaining the engine speed Ne higher than the idle speed, it is possible to suppress the engine self-sustained operation section with fuel injection, and to reduce the fuel consumption. Can be avoided. Further, even when the driver selects the L range or the like by the range operation in order to obtain deceleration by the engine brake, the release of the lockup clutch 20 can be avoided, so that the deceleration by the engine brake is reduced. Can be suppressed. Further, after the range operation, the engine can be prevented from being blown even when the driver depresses the accelerator pedal with the intention of acceleration.
- step S6 control unit
- the engagement hydraulic pressure of the lockup clutch 20 is increased. Therefore, the engine speed Ne can be increased as the turbine speed Nt increases, and the durability of the friction material and the like can be improved by suppressing the increase in the slip amount.
- step S6 which is an increase when the engagement hydraulic pressure of the lockup clutch 20 is increased, is an input side inertia torque of the lockup clutch 20 when shifting to the low side. Therefore, when the engine speed Ne is increased as the turbine speed Nt increases, an increase in the slip amount can be avoided and the durability of the friction material and the like can be further improved.
- step S10 the prohibition of determination by the abnormality determination unit is canceled after a predetermined time has elapsed since the engagement hydraulic pressure of the lockup clutch 20 was increased in step S6. Therefore, it is possible to avoid an engagement shock that occurs when the lockup clutch 20 is engaged while the lockup differential pressure PLU is set excessively high.
- the specific configuration may be other configurations.
- the belt type continuously variable transmission mechanism 23 is adopted as the transmission is shown, but other types of transmissions may be used.

Abstract
Description
本発明の目的は、燃費の悪化を回避可能なロックアップクラッチの制御装置を提供することにある。
ここで、ロックアップクラッチ20の制御について説明する。通常、車両の発進時等、大きなトルクが必要とされる場面では、ロックアップクラッチ20は解放され、トルクコンバータ21のトルク増幅作用を機能させる。ただし、車速が所定車速以上となると、燃費の改善を目的としてロックアップ差圧PLUを発生させてロックアップクラッチ20を締結(以下、ロックアップ状態と記載する。)し、エンジン1から出力されたトルクをそのままベルト式無段変速機構23に伝達する。また、ロックアップ状態で車速が低下すると、駆動輪4の回転数低下によってエンジン回転数Neがアイドル回転数を下回り、エンジンストールを招くおそれがある。そこで、低車速領域では、エンジン回転数Neとタービン回転数Ntとの差が予め設定された第1スリップ量となるようにフィードバック制御をしながらスリップロックアップ制御を行う。これにより、ロックアップクラッチ20の締結状態がスリップするギリギリの締結状態となるように制御し、クラッチプレート201を即座に移動可能な状態とする。
ステップS1では、アイドルスイッチ1cがオンか否かを判断し、オンのときはステップS2に進み、それ以外の場合はステップS9に進む。コースト走行条件の成立を確認するためである。
ステップS2では、フューエルカット中か否かを判断し、フューエルカット中のときはフューエルカットに伴うトルク変動が生じないと判断してステップS3へ進み、それ以外の場合はステップS9に進む。
ステップS3では、スイッチダウンシフトフラグFSWDがオンか否かを判断し、オンのときはスイッチダウンシフトによるダウンシフトが生じると判断してステップS4に進み、それ以外の場合はステップS9に進む。
ステップS5では、ロックアップ差圧PLUが所定圧P1以上か否かを判断し、P1以上のときはステップS6に進み、それ以外の場合はステップS9に進む。すなわち、ロックアップ差圧PLUが例えば負の値の場合、クラッチプレート201が解放側に移動している可能性があり、その場合にロックアップ差圧PLUに所定圧を加算すると、ロックアップクラッチ20が急激に締結して締結ショックを招く恐れがあるからである。
ステップS6では、ロックアップ差圧PLUにエンジン側のイナーシャトルク分に相当する所定圧ΔPを加算する。これにより、エンジン回転数Neをタービン回転数Ntの上昇に伴って引き上げることができる。
ステップS8では、スイッチダウンシフトフラグFSWDがオンとなってからのギヤ比の変化量ΔGRが所定変化量ΔGR1以上か否かを判断し、ΔGRがΔGR1以上変化した場合にはステップS11に進み、それ以外はステップS10に進む。
ステップS9では、ロックアップ差圧PLUにΔPを加算中か否かを判断し、加算中の場合はステップS11に進み、それ以外は本制御フローを終了してステップS1から繰り返す。
ステップS12では、ステップS7で禁止した異常判定を解除し、異常判定部による異常判定を許可することで、通常のロックアップ制御に移行する。
時刻t1において、アクセルペダル開度APOが所定値未満となり、アイドルスイッチ1cがオンとなる。その後、エンジン回転数Neは、ロックアップクラッチ20を介して駆動輪4からのトルクでアイドル回転数以上を維持しており、FC制御によって燃料噴射が停止する。
これに対し、実施例では、ロックアップ差圧PLUにΔPを加算すると共に、異常判定部による異常判定も禁止される。これにより、タービン回転数Ntが上昇する際、エンジン回転数Neも同時に引き上げられるため、ロックアップクラッチ20が解放されることがない。また、仮に一時的にスリップ量が増大したとしても、異常判定が禁止されており、継続的にフィードバック制御が行われることでスリップロックアップ制御を継続することができる。よって、エンジン回転数Neを高めに維持することができ、FC制御を実施できる区間を確保することで燃費の悪化を回避できる。
時刻t4において、ΔPが0となると、異常判定部における異常判定の禁止を解除する。よって、それ以後は、通常のスリップロックアップ制御が継続される。
(1)エンジン1とベルト式無段変速機構23(自動変速機)との間に設けられたトルクコンバータ21のロックアップクラッチ20の締結状態を制御する制御部と、ロックアップクラッチ20のスリップ量が所定以上の状態が継続したときは、異常と判定する異常判定部と、異常判定部により異常と判定されたときは、ロックアップクラッチ20を解放する解放制御部と、コースト走行時において、ベルト式無段変速機構23がロー側に変速した場合には、異常判定部による判定を禁止するステップS1,S3,S7(禁止部)と、を備えた。
よって、異常判定によるロックアップクラッチ20の解放を回避することができ、エンジン回転数Neをアイドル回転数より高めに維持することで、燃料噴射を伴うエンジン自立運転区間を抑制でき、燃費の悪化を回避できる。更に、エンジンブレーキによる減速を得ようと、運転者がレンジ操作により、Lレンジ等を選択した場合にも、ロックアップクラッチ20の解放を回避することができるので、エンジンブレーキによる減速度の低下を抑制することができる。また、レンジ操作後に、運転者が加速を意図してアクセルペダルを踏み込んだ場合にもエンジンの空吹きを抑制することができる。
よって、タービン回転数Ntの上昇に伴いエンジン回転数Neを引き上げることができ、スリップ量の増大を抑制することで、摩擦材等の耐久性を向上できる。
よって、タービン回転数Ntの上昇に伴いエンジン回転数Neを引き上げるときに、スリップ量の増大を回避することができ、摩擦材等の耐久性を更に向上できる。
(4)ステップS10では、ステップS6によりロックアップクラッチ20の締結油圧を上昇させてから所定時間経過後、異常判定部による判定の禁止を解除する。
よって、ロックアップ差圧PLUが過剰に高く設定された状態でロックアップクラッチ20が締結することにより生じる締結ショックを回避することができる。
以上、本発明を一実施例に基づいて説明したが、具体的な構成は他の構成であっても良い。上記実施例では、変速機としてベルト式無段変速機構23を採用した例を示したが、他の形式の変速機であっても構わない。また、上記実施例ではベルト式無段変速機のマニュアルモードにおけるスイッチダウンシフトについて説明したが、エンジンブレーキや再加速のためにLレンジやSレンジ等に、運転者がレンジ操作を行いダウンシフトした場合でも、同様の制御を適用でき、有段式自動変速機のコースト走行時において、運転者がマニュアル操作によりダウンシフト要求を行った場合にも同様の制御が適用できる。また、上記実施例では、スリップロックアップ制御中を例に示したが、スリップロックアップ制御中に限らず、通常のロックアップ制御中であってもよい。
