[0039] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of a device for recognizing a clutch switch signal provided by an embodiment of the present application. Detailed Embodiments

[0040] To help better understand the solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, before introducing the method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the application scenarios of the solution of the embodiments of the present application will be introduced first.

[0041] With the development of the automotive industry, the types of transmissions assembled in vehicles are increasing, and the types of clutch switch signals received by the engine control unit (ECU) are also increasing. Common clutch switch signals include hardwired signals, CCVS (Current Controlled Voltage Source) message signals, ETC1 message signals, etc. Therefore, when engine manufacturers match different models of vehicles or transmissions from different manufacturers, they need to make targeted matches to the function of receiving clutch switch signals in the ECU internal program, resulting in a long development cycle and inconvenient management of the ECU. Moreover, during the new development stage of variant products of the same series of vehicles by vehicle manufacturers, the sample vehicles equipped with different clutches have different program requirements for the ECU, resulting in frequent development and rewriting of the data in the ECU, increasing the workload of technicians.

[0042] To solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for identifying clutch switch signals. The method is applied to a vehicle and includes: the electronic control unit ECU in the vehicle enables ETC1 messages, ETC2 messages, and ETC3 messages; if the ECU receives ETC1 messages, ETC2 messages, and ETC3 messages within a preset time, it identifies the ETC1 message or the ETC2 message to obtain a first clutch signal; the first clutch signal indicates the clutch state corresponding to an electronically controlled mechanical automatic transmission or a hydraulic automatic transmission; if the ECU does not receive any of the ETC1 messages, ETC2 messages, and ETC3 messages within the preset time, it identifies the input of the vehicle's bus interface or hardwired interface to obtain a second clutch signal; the second clutch signal indicates the clutch state corresponding to a mechanical transmission.

[0043] It can be seen that in the method for identifying clutch switch signals provided by the embodiments of the present application, after the electronic control unit ECU enables ETC1 messages, ETC2 messages, and ETC3 messages, it determines the type of transmission in the vehicle based on the messages received within the preset time, thereby identifying the clutch switch signals corresponding to this type, and further achieving the effect of identifying the clutch switch signals corresponding to multiple transmissions. In this way, the ECU in the method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be adapted to multiple transmissions and clutch switch signals, improving the adaptability of the ECU and reducing the workload of modifying the program when the ECU is assembled in different vehicles.

[0044] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0045] The method for identifying a clutch switch signal is applied to a vehicle. Refer to Figure 1 This figure is a schematic diagram of a method for identifying a clutch switch signal provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0046] As Figure 1 shown, the method for identifying a clutch switch signal provided by an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0047] S101: The electronic control unit ECU in the vehicle enables the ETC1 message, the ETC2 message, and the ETC3 message.

[0048] It should be noted that ETC1, ETC2, and ETC3 in the embodiments of the present application are all message formats. After the electronic control unit enables the ETC1 message in the embodiments of the present application, the ECU can receive and identify the ETC1 message. Similarly, after the ECU enables the ETC2 message and the ECT3 message, the ECU can receive and identify the ECT2 message and the ECT3 message. In the embodiments of the present application, when the ECU enables the ETC1 message, the ETC2 message, and the ETC3 message, the ECU can receive and identify the ETC1 message, the ETC2 message, and the ETC3 message.

[0049] S102: If the ECU receives the ETC1 message, the ETC2 message, and the ETC3 message within a preset time, then identify the ETC1 message or the ETC2 message to obtain a first clutch signal; the first clutch signal indicates the clutch state corresponding to an electronically controlled mechanical automatic transmission or a hydraulic automatic transmission.

[0050] It should be noted that if the ECU receives the ETC1, ETC2 message, and the ETC3 message within a preset time, it means that the transmission in the vehicle may be an electronically controlled mechanical automatic transmission (Automated Manual Transmission, AMT) or a hydraulic automatic transmission (Auto Transmission, AT). Generally, an electronically controlled mechanical automatic transmission and a hydraulic automatic transmission include a transmission control unit (Transmission-Control-Unit, TCU), and the ECU can receive the ETC1, ETC2 message, and the ETC3 message.

[0051] As a possible implementation, if the ECU receives an ETC1 message, an ETC2 message, and an ETC3 message within a preset time, it will identify the ETC1 message. If the identification is successful, a first clutch signal will be obtained; if the identification fails, it will identify the ETC2 message to obtain the first clutch signal. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the identification priority of the ETC1 message is higher than that of the ETC2 message. The ECU first identifies the ETC1 message and then identifies the ETC2 message after the identification of the ETC1 message fails.

[0052] Specifically, the first clutch signal includes a driveline status signal or a shift process status signal. It should be noted that the present application can determine the status of the clutch through the driveline status signal or the shift process status signal. Generally speaking, the driveline status indicated by the driveline status signal is consistent with the status of the clutch. When the shift process status signal indicates that the vehicle is shifting gears, the clutch is in the disengaged state; when the shift process status signal indicates that the vehicle is not shifting gears, the clutch is in the engaged state.

[0053] If the ECU receives an ETC1 message, an ETC2 message, and an ETC3 message within a preset time, it will identify the first bit and the second bit of the first byte in the ETC1 message. If the identification is successful, a driveline status signal will be obtained; if the identification fails, it will identify the fifth bit and the sixth bit of the first byte in the ETC1 message. If the identification is successful, a shift process status signal will be obtained. It should be noted that the applicant of the present application has found that the driveline status signal indicates the status of the clutch more accurately, and the driveline status signal is more commonly used in currently applied vehicles. Therefore, the present application preferentially identifies the driveline status signal in the ETC1 message. If the identification of the driveline status signal fails, the shift process status signal in the ETC1 message will be identified.

[0054] If the identification of the shift process status signal fails, the embodiments of the present application will identify the fourth byte in the ETC2 message. If the identification is successful, a current gear signal will be obtained. The first clutch signal also includes a current gear signal. The current gear signal indicates the current gear of the vehicle. When the vehicle is in gear, the clutch is in the engaged state; when the vehicle is not in gear, the clutch is in the disengaged state.

[0055] As a possible implementation, if the identification of the previous gear signal in the ETC2 message fails, the fourth byte in the ETC1 message can also be identified. If the identification is successful, a clutch disengagement percentage signal will be obtained. The first clutch signal also includes a clutch disengagement percentage signal. The clutch disengagement percentage signal indicates the disengagement percentage of the vehicle's clutch. When the disengagement percentage of the clutch is 100%, the clutch is in the disengaged state; when the disengagement percentage of the clutch is less than 100%, the clutch is in the engaged state.

[0056] S103: If the ECU does not receive any one of the ETC1 message, ETC2 message, and ETC3 message within a preset time, then identify the second clutch signal by recognizing the vehicle's bus interface input or hardwired interface input; the second clutch signal indicates the clutch state corresponding to the mechanical transmission.

[0057] It should be noted that if the ECU does not receive any one of the ETC1 message, ETC2 message, and ETC3 message within a preset time. This indicates that the vehicle's transmission may be a mechanical transmission, and the second clutch signal can be obtained by recognizing the vehicle's bus interface input or hardwired interface input. As a possible implementation, since the hardware interface input signal of the vehicle is relatively fast and the signal error rate is relatively low, the ECU can first recognize the vehicle's hardwired interface input. If the recognition is successful, the second clutch information is obtained; if the recognition fails, then recognize the vehicle's bus interface input to obtain the second clutch information.

[0058] In actual applications, there are some vehicles with mechanical transmissions, but their ECUs still have some incomplete message signals. In some possible embodiments, if the ECU does not receive the ETC1 message, ETC2 message, and ETC3 message within a preset time, then obtain the second clutch signal sent by the bus signal or hardwired signal on the vehicle; the second clutch signal indicates the clutch state corresponding to the mechanical transmission.

[0059] In summary, in the method for identifying the clutch switch signal provided by the embodiments of the present application, after enabling the ETC1 message, ETC2 message, and ETC3 message, the electronic control unit ECU determines the type of the transmission in the vehicle by receiving the messages within a preset time, thereby identifying the clutch switch signal corresponding to this type, and further can achieve the effect of identifying the clutch switch signals corresponding to multiple transmissions. In this way, the ECU in the method provided by the embodiments of the present application can adapt to multiple transmissions and clutch switch signals, improving the adaptability of the ECU and reducing the workload of modifying the program when the ECU is assembled in different vehicles.

[0060] According to the method for identifying the clutch switch signal provided in the above embodiments, the embodiments of the present application further provide a device for identifying the clutch switch signal, and this device is applied to the electronic control unit ECU in the vehicle.

[0065] The second obtaining module 300 is configured to, if the ECU does not receive any one of the ETC1 message, the ETC2 message, and the ETC3 message within the preset time, identify the vehicle's bus interface input or hardwired interface input to obtain a second clutch signal; the second clutch signal indicates the clutch state corresponding to the mechanical transmission.

[0067] As a possible implementation manner, the first clutch signal includes a driveline state signal or a shift process state signal.

[0068] In summary, in the device for identifying the clutch switch signal provided in the embodiment of the present application, after enabling the ETC1 message, the ETC2 message, and the ETC3 message, the type of the transmission in the vehicle is determined by the message received within the preset time, so as to identify the clutch switch signal corresponding to this type, and further the effect of identifying the clutch switch signals corresponding to multiple transmissions can be achieved.
