Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lubrication system control, and in particular, to a control method, a control device, and a synchronizer lubrication system for a synchronizer lubrication system. Background Art

[0002] As a core subsystem of a transmission, a synchronizer uses the friction principle to achieve gear speed synchronization during transmission shifting, ensuring structurally that the gear sleeve to be engaged and the engaging teeth cannot come into contact before reaching synchronization, avoiding tooth impact and noise, and thus achieving rapid and smooth shifting of the transmission. According to the movement process of the synchronizer gear sleeve, the shifting process can be divided into 7 stages: free coasting before pre-synchronization, pre-synchronization, synchronization, synchronous unlocking, free coasting after synchronization, aligning the engaging teeth, and full engagement.

[0003] A large amount of heat is generated during the shifting process of the synchronizer, and a lubrication system is required for close lubrication. Moreover, during each stage of the shifting process, the sliding friction work generated by the friction between the conical surfaces of the synchronizer ring and the engaging teeth is different. More lubricating oil is required during the synchronization process, less lubricating oil is required at the neutral position and the synchronization completion position, and no lubricating oil is required after the shifting is completed.

[0004] Currently, there are mainly two types of lubrication devices for synchronizers. The first solution is to use a spray pipe for active lubrication of the synchronizer. The second solution is to use an oil collector to collect the lubricating oil splashed by the gears, and then drip the lubricating oil into the synchronizer through an opening at the bottom of the oil collector. Their common feature is that the lubricating oil sprayed by the spray pipe or dripped by the oil collector is easily blocked by the synchronizer gear sleeve or the shift fork, resulting in poor lubrication effect. In addition, in the spray pipe spraying method, the lubricating oil lubricates both the gears and the synchronizer simultaneously, so precise control of the lubricating oil volume during the shifting process cannot be achieved, and the lubricating oil volume is completely uncontrollable in the dripping method.

[0005] In view of the above problems, no effective solution has been proposed yet. Summary of the Invention

[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0034] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily need to be used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present invention described here can be implemented in an order different from those illustrated or described here. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device including a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method embodiment of a control method for a synchronizer lubrication system is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. And although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described here can be executed in an order different from that here.

[0036] Figure 1 is a control method for a synchronizer lubrication system according to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0037] Step S102, collect the shift displacement amount sensed by the sensor and moving along the axial direction of the gear shaft during the shifting process;

[0038] Step S104, determine whether the shift displacement amount meets the first preset condition;

[0039] Step S106, when the first preset condition is met, generate a control strategy set for controlling the hydraulic system to apply an oil volume of lubricating oil meeting a preset value into the oil passage of the shift fork.

[0040] By collecting the shift displacement amount sensed by the sensor when the shift fork moves along the axial direction of the gear shaft during the shifting process, and then determining whether the shift displacement amount meets the first preset condition. When the first preset condition is met, a control strategy set is generated. The control strategy set is used to control the hydraulic system to apply the lubricating oil amount meeting the preset value into the oil passage of the shift fork, achieving the purpose of precisely controlling the lubricating oil amount of the synchronizer in each stage during the shifting process, and thus solving the technical problem of uncontrollable lubricating oil amount when lubricating the synchronizer.

[0041] Optionally, determining whether the shift displacement amount meets the first preset condition, and when the first preset condition is met, generating a control strategy set. The control strategy set is used to control the hydraulic system to apply the lubricating oil amount meeting the preset value into the oil passage of the shift fork, including: according to the shift displacement amount, determining the target displacement interval matching the shift displacement amount, where the target displacement interval includes at least one of the following: the displacement interval formed by the distance from the neutral position to the pre-synchronization position, the displacement interval formed by the distance from the pre-synchronization position interval to the synchronization position, the displacement interval formed by the distance from the synchronization position to the synchronization completion position, the displacement interval formed by the distance from the synchronization completion position to the start engagement position, the displacement interval formed by the distance from the start engagement position to the completion engagement position, the displacement interval formed by the distance from the completion engagement position to the full gear engagement position; based on the target displacement interval, generating the corresponding first target strategy in the control strategy set, and the first target strategy is used to control the hydraulic system to apply the lubricating oil amount matching the current target displacement interval into the oil passage of the shift fork. As Figure 5 shown, the shift displacement amount at the neutral position is set to 0, and the shift displacement amount at the pre-synchronization position is set to X 1 , the shift displacement amount at the synchronization position is set to X 2 , the shift displacement amount at the synchronization completion position is set to X 3 , the shift displacement amount at the start engagement position (corresponding to Figure 5 the start engaging engaging teeth in 4 ) is set to X Figure 5 , the shift displacement amount at the completion engagement position (corresponding to 5 the completion engaging engaging teeth in 6 ) is set to X 1 , and the shift displacement amount at the full gear engagement position is set to X 1 . When the target displacement interval matched by the shift displacement amount is 0 to X 1 , control the hydraulic system to apply the lubricating oil amount with a preset value of Q 2 into the oil passage of the shift fork. When the target displacement interval matched by the shift displacement amount is X 2The lubricating oil quantity, when the target displacement range matched by the shift displacement is X 2 ~X 3 When it is, control the hydraulic system to apply a lubricating oil quantity with a preset value of Q n The lubricating oil quantity, when the target displacement range matched by the shift displacement is X 3 ~X 6 When it is, control the hydraulic system to apply a lubricating oil quantity with a preset value of Q 1 The lubricating oil quantity. In this embodiment, it is possible to correspondingly allocate the lubricating oil quantity required by the synchronizer according to the stage in which the synchronizer is in the shifting process, further achieving the purpose of precisely controlling the lubricating oil quantity of the synchronizer in each stage during the shifting process, and solving the problem that the lubricating oil quantity is uncontrollable when lubricating the synchronizer. Among them, the first preset condition is set such that the shift displacement can match one of the above target displacement ranges.

[0042] Optionally, the method includes: when it is determined that the target displacement range matched by the shift displacement is the displacement range formed by the distance from the synchronization position to the synchronization completion position, collect the gear position oil pressure sensed by the pressure sensor, determine whether the gear position oil pressure meets the second preset condition, and generate a first target strategy when the gear position oil pressure meets the second preset condition. In this embodiment, when the synchronizer is in the synchronization stage, a large amount of sliding friction work will be generated, and the lubricating oil quantity should not be given a fixed value at this time, but should be gradually changed according to the size of the sliding friction power. At this time, by collecting the gear position oil pressure and generating a first target strategy when the gear position oil pressure meets the second preset condition, the lubricating oil quantity when the synchronizer is in the synchronization stage can be precisely controlled. Among them, the second preset condition can be set such that the gear position oil pressure is within a certain range, and this range is determined according to the empirical data when the synchronizer is in the synchronization stage.

[0043] Optionally, determining whether the gear position oil pressure meets the second preset condition and generating a first target strategy when the gear position oil pressure meets the second preset condition includes: collecting the rotational speed difference between the driving side and the driven side of the synchronizer sensed by the rotational speed sensor, multiplying the rotational speed difference by the gear position oil pressure, and generating a first target strategy when the product of the rotational speed difference and the gear position oil pressure meets the second preset condition. In this way, the lubricating oil quantity when the synchronizer is in the synchronization stage can be further precisely controlled.

[0044] Optionally, the method further includes: comparing the product of the rotational speed difference and the gear position oil pressure with the sliding friction power level to obtain a comparison result, and generating a first target strategy when the comparison result meets the third preset condition. Let the rotational speed difference be Δω and the gear position oil pressure be P. As Figure 6 shown, the third preset condition is T n ≤P·Δω<T n+1, when the third preset condition is satisfied, the TCU controls the hydraulic system to apply the synchronizer lubricating oil quantity Q to the shift fork oil passage n . In this way, the technical effect of gradually changing the lubricating oil quantity according to the magnitude of the sliding friction power is achieved, and then the corresponding lubricating oil quantity Q is allocated to the synchronizer n , achieving the purpose of precisely controlling the lubricating oil quantity when the synchronizer is in the synchronization stage.

[0045] Optionally, the method includes: when it is determined that the shift displacement is the same as the distance from the neutral position to the fully engaged position, generating the corresponding second target strategy in the control strategy set, and the second target strategy is used to control the hydraulic system to stop supplying oil to the oil passage of the shift fork. In this embodiment, the synchronizer is in the end stage of shifting, so there is no need to lubricate the synchronizer.

[0046] As Figure 6 shown is a schematic flow chart of a control method for an optional synchronizer lubrication system according to another embodiment of the present invention. First, the TCU controls the hydraulic system to apply the shift oil pressure to the piston chamber. When shifting starts, the shift fork displacement X (i.e., the shift displacement in the above embodiment) is detected by the shift fork position sensor. When it is detected that the shift fork displacement X satisfies 0 ≤ X ≤ X 1 , the TCU controls the hydraulic system to apply the synchronizer lubricating oil quantity Q to the shift fork oil passage 1 . When it is detected that the shift fork displacement X satisfies X 1 ≤ X ≤ X 2 , the TCU controls the hydraulic system to apply the synchronizer lubricating oil quantity Q to the shift fork oil passage 2 . When it is detected that the shift fork displacement X satisfies X 2 ≤ X ≤ X 3 , then the pressure sensor is required to detect the shift oil pressure P, and at the same time the rotational speed sensor detects the rotational speed difference Δω between the main and driven sides of the synchronizer (i.e., the rotational speed difference Δω in the above embodiment). The product of the shift oil pressure and the rotational speed difference Δω between the main and driven sides of the synchronizer is compared with the sliding friction power level T. If T n ≤ P·Δω < T n+1 , the TCU controls the hydraulic system to apply the synchronizer lubricating oil quantity Q to the shift fork oil passage n . When the shift fork displacement X = X 6 , the synchronizer is in the fully engaged position. At this time, the TCU controls the hydraulic system to cut off the lubricating oil supply to the shift fork oil passage. In this way, the technical effect of quantitatively injecting oil according to different positions of the synchronizer during shifting is achieved.

[0047] According to another specific embodiment of the present application, a synchronizer lubrication device is further provided, as Figure 7As shown in the figure, the device includes: a collection unit 42, a judgment unit 44, and a generation unit 46. The collection unit 42 is used to collect the shift displacement amount sensed by the sensor when the shift fork moves in the axial direction of the gear shaft during the shifting process. The judgment unit 44 is used to judge whether the shift displacement amount meets the first preset condition. The generation unit 46 is used to generate a control strategy set when the first preset condition is met. The control strategy set is used to control the hydraulic system to apply an oil volume of lubricating oil that meets the preset value into the oil passage of the shift fork.

[0048] In this embodiment, by collecting the shift displacement amount sensed by the sensor when the shift fork moves in the axial direction of the gear shaft during the shifting process, then judging whether the shift displacement amount meets the first preset condition, and generating a control strategy set when the first preset condition is met, the control strategy set is used to control the hydraulic system to apply an oil volume of lubricating oil that meets the preset value into the oil passage of the shift fork, achieving the purpose of precisely controlling the lubricating oil volume of the synchronizer at each stage during the shifting process, and further solving the technical problem of uncontrollable lubricating oil volume when lubricating the synchronizer.

[0049] As Figures 2 to 4 shown, according to another specific embodiment of the present application, a synchronizer lubrication system is further provided. The synchronizer lubrication system includes a fork shaft 601. Independent oil supply channels are respectively arranged at both ends of the fork shaft 601, namely a first oil supply channel 601a and a second oil supply channel 601b. Opposite shift forks 401 are arranged on the fork shaft 601. A plurality of oil injection channels are opened in each shift fork 401, namely a first oil injection channel 401a and a second oil injection channel 401b. The plurality of oil injection channels are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the fork shaft 601, and at least one of the plurality of oil injection channels is communicated with the oil supply channel at one end of the fork shaft 601, and the remaining oil injection channels are communicated with the oil supply channel at the other end of the fork shaft 601. Specifically, the first oil injection channel 401a is communicated with the first oil supply channel 601a, and the second oil injection channel 401b is communicated with the second oil supply channel 601b. The synchronizer lubrication system is controlled to supply oil by using the control method in the above embodiment. By opening a plurality of oil injection channels in the shift fork 401, filling the plurality of oil injection channels in the shift fork 401 with oil through the hydraulic system, and then spraying oil to the synchronizer through the plurality of oil injection channels in the shift fork 401, thereby lubricating the synchronizer, the problem that the lubricating oil is easily blocked by the synchronizer gear sleeve or the shift fork during the lubrication of the synchronizer in the prior art, resulting in poor lubrication effect, is solved.

[0050] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the synchronizer lubrication system is composed of a cylinder liner assembly 100, a housing assembly 200, a piston assembly 300, a shift fork assembly 400, a shaft string assembly 500, a fork shaft 601, and a shift fork position sensor, a shift pressure sensor, a rotational speed sensor, and a lubricating flow control system. As Figure 4As shown, the cylinder liner assembly 100 includes a first cylinder liner 101, a first cylinder liner oil passage 101a, a second cylinder liner 102, and a second cylinder liner oil passage 102a. The shift pressure sensor can detect the shift pressures of the first cylinder liner oil passage 101a and the second cylinder liner oil passage 102a. The housing assembly 200 includes a first support sleeve 201, a first support sleeve oil passage 201a, a shift shaft seal ring 203, a second support sleeve 202, and a second support sleeve oil passage 202a. The shift shaft seal ring 203 is respectively installed in the grooves of the first support sleeve 201 and the second support sleeve 202. The left and right ends of the shift shaft 601 are limited by the first support sleeve 201 and the second support sleeve 202. The first support sleeve oil passage 201a and the second support sleeve oil passage 202a are connected by a hydraulic system. The piston assembly 300 includes a piston 301 and a piston seal ring 302. The piston seal ring 302 is respectively installed in the grooves on both sides of the piston 301. The piston assembly 300 can reciprocate in the first cylinder liner 101 and the second cylinder liner 102. The shift fork assembly 400 includes a shift fork 401, a first oil injection passage 401a, a second oil injection passage 401b, a shift fork seal ring 402, a bushing 403, and a position sensor magnet 404. The shift fork seal ring 402 is respectively installed on the left, middle, and right sides of the sleeve of the shift fork 401. The bushings 403 are respectively press-fitted at the left and right ends of the sleeve of the shift fork 401. The first oil injection passage 401a and the second oil injection passage 401b are respectively connected to the first support sleeve oil passage 201a and the second support sleeve oil passage 202a through the sealed area formed between the shift fork 401 and the shift shaft 601. When the synchronizer shifts gears to both sides respectively, the corresponding oil passages are filled with oil through the hydraulic system, thereby lubricating the synchronizer. The piston assembly 300 drives the shift fork assembly 400 to move, thereby pushing the gear sleeve 501 to shift gears. The position sensor magnet 404 is screwed on the shift fork 401. The shift fork position sensor detects the position of the shift fork through the position sensor magnet 404, thereby determining the shift displacement of the shift fork. The shaft assembly 500 includes a gear sleeve 501, a synchronizer ring 502, engaging teeth 503, a gear 504, and a shaft 505. The rotational speed sensors respectively detect the rotational speeds of the gear 504 and the shaft 505 and calculate the rotational speed difference. With this synchronizer lubrication system, the problem that the lubricating oil is easily blocked by the synchronizer gear sleeve or the shift fork during the lubrication of the synchronizer, resulting in poor lubrication effect of the synchronizer, is avoided.

[0051] In an exemplary embodiment, the required lubricating oil quantity is different at different shift positions of the synchronizer. By dividing the shift position points of the synchronizer into 7, as Figure 5 shown, they are respectively the 0 position (neutral position), X 1 (pre-synchronization position), X 2 (synchronization position), X 3 (unlock position, also called synchronization completion position), X 4 (starting to engage the engaging teeth position), X 5 (completing the engagement of the engaging teeth position), X6 (Fully engaged position). When the gear sleeve 501 is at the position from 0 to X 1 , there is a rotational speed difference between the synchronizer ring 502 and the engaging teeth 503. However, at this time, the synchronizer ring 502 is in a floating state and the sliding friction work is very small, so a relatively small flow rate Q is set 1 . When the gear sleeve 501 is at the position from X 1 to X 2 , the gear sleeve 501 pushes the synchronizer slider to drive the synchronizer ring 502 and the engaging teeth 503 to slide and grind, and makes the synchronizer ring 502 rotate a certain angle relative to the gear seat, and a relatively large flow rate Q is set 2 . When the gear sleeve 501 is at the position from X 2 to X 3 , the synchronizer is in the synchronization stage, and a large amount of sliding friction work will be generated. At this time, a fixed lubricating oil quantity should not be given, but the lubricating flow rate should be changed step by step according to the size of the sliding friction power. At this time, the shifting oil pressure P of the first cylinder sleeve oil passage 101a or the second cylinder sleeve oil passage 102a should be detected by the shifting pressure sensor, the rotational speeds of the gear 504 and the shaft 505 should be detected respectively by the rotational speed sensor, and the rotational speed difference Δω should be calculated. The product of P and Δω is compared with the predetermined sliding friction power level T, and then the corresponding flow rate Q is allocated n . When the gear sleeve 501 is at the position from X 3 to X 6 , there is no rotational speed difference between the synchronizer ring 502 and the engaging teeth 503. However, at this time, in order to consider taking away the synchronization heat as soon as possible, a relatively small flow rate Q is still set 1 . After the shifting is completed, the fork position sensor detects that the position sensor magnet 404 has shifted in place, and the synchronizer does not require lubricating flow rate.

[0052] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the control process for lubricating the synchronizer through the synchronizer lubrication system is as follows: First, the TCU controls the hydraulic system to apply a shift oil pressure to the first cylinder sleeve oil passage 101a. At this time, the shift starts. The shift oil pressure pushes the piston assembly 300 to move to the right. The piston assembly 300 drives the fork assembly 400 to move, and then drives the gear sleeve 501 to move to the right. The fork position sensor detects the fork displacement X of the fork assembly 400 (i.e., the shift displacement in the above embodiment) through the position sensor magnet 404. The TCU controls the hydraulic system to apply a corresponding lubricating oil quantity to the second support sleeve oil passage 202a. The amount of lubricating oil is related to the position X. The lubricating oil enters the closed area formed by the fork shaft 601, the fork 401, and the two fork sealing rings 402 through the first oil supply passage 601a on the fork shaft 601. Then, the lubricating oil sprays the oil onto the synchronizer ring 502 and the engaging teeth 503 through the first oil injection passage 401a on the fork 401. Since the first oil supply passage 601a is integrated on the fork 401, the first oil supply passage 601a can be close to the synchronizer ring 502 and the engaging teeth 503 that need to be lubricated in the synchronizer, avoiding too long a spraying distance or being blocked by other components, making the spraying position accurate. After the shift ends, the gear 504 and the shaft 505 rotate together. By adopting the technical solution of this embodiment, quantitative oil injection is achieved according to different positions of the synchronizer during shifting, and the problems of unsatisfactory lubrication effect and large energy loss in the existing solutions are solved.
