[0093] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0094] In this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0095] As a new type of power shift transmission, the continuously variable transmission (CVT) boasts advantages such as driving comfort, low emissions, good fuel economy, and stepless shifting, making it a promising market prospect. In particular, the CVT achieves a dynamic and optimal match between vehicle driving resistance and engine load through continuous changes in the speed ratio, ensuring the engine always operates in its high-efficiency range and maximizing its potential according to the driver's intended operation.

[0096] The traditional continuously variable transmission (CVT) control method is as follows: The target engine speed is determined based on the throttle opening and vehicle speed. The CVT then calculates its target gear ratio based on this target engine speed. Figure 1 The diagram shown illustrates the CVT shifting when controlling the speed ratio of a continuously variable transmission (CVT) using conventional methods. (Reference) Figure 2 The diagram shows the CVT master and slave cylinders. The traditional working condition of the CVT master and slave levers is as follows:

[0097] (1) The driven cylinder determines its pressure based on the torque transmitted by the steel belt and the actual speed ratio, so as to ensure that the steel belt can safely transmit torque, that is, the driven cylinder is responsible for clamping force.

[0098] (2) The driving cylinder determines its pressure based on the target speed ratio and the oil pressure of the driven cylinder to ensure that the actual speed ratio follows the target speed ratio. That is, the driving cylinder is responsible for speed ratio control.

[0099] At a certain vehicle speed, when the driver increases the throttle, the target speed and target speed ratio of the input shaft also increase accordingly, such as... Figure 3The graph shows curves illustrating various vehicle parameters when controlling the gear ratio of a continuously variable transmission (CVT) using traditional methods. As the graph shows, when the gear ratio changes from a near-steady-speed condition to rapid shifting, the overall system flow increases dramatically. The valves of the master and slave cylinders need to adjust from a low-flow equilibrium state to a new high-flow equilibrium state, which takes time. This causes a hydraulic dip (hydraulic depression), resulting in insufficient clamping force and the risk of belt slippage. When the actual speed reaches the target speed, the target gear ratio changes from rapid shifting to slow shifting. At this point, the overall system flow decreases dramatically. The valves of the master and slave cylinders need to adjust from a high-flow equilibrium state to a new low-flow equilibrium state, which also takes time. This causes an overshoot (hydraulic bulge), resulting in excessive clamping force, increased belt stress, accelerated belt fatigue and aging, and a reduced CVT lifespan.

[0100] This invention aims to provide a novel speed ratio control method to solve the problem that hydraulic slippage and hydraulic overshoot caused by the response delay of the hydraulic system when the CVT speed ratio change rate changes drastically, leading to accelerated aging of the CVT and shortened service life.

[0101] This invention provides a speed ratio control method for a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which can be applied to a vehicle control system. This control system consists of a computer terminal or a distributed computing device, such as a microcomputer, a central processor, and other intelligent devices with data processing capabilities.

[0102] Reference Figure 4 The following is a detailed description of the method flow for a continuously variable transmission (CVT) speed ratio control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention:

[0103] S101. Obtain the current target speed of the continuously variable transmission (CVT), and based on the target speed, determine whether the CVT meets the preset speed ratio control conditions.

[0104] Preferably, the continuously variable transmission (CVT) is a steel belt type or a chain type CVT. The specific process for obtaining the current target speed of the CVT is as follows:

[0105] The current throttle opening and vehicle speed of the vehicle to which the continuously variable transmission (CVT) belongs can be obtained. It should be noted that the current throttle opening and vehicle speed of the vehicle can be obtained through a dedicated sensor.

[0106] The throttle opening and vehicle speed of the vehicle are processed to obtain the target speed of the continuously variable transmission (CVT); the target speed is the speed that the CVT should actually reach.

[0107] By processing the current throttle opening and vehicle speed of the vehicle to which the continuously variable transmission (CVT) belongs, the current target speed of the CVT can be obtained.

[0108] Furthermore, the current target speed of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) is determined in real time. Preferably, the current target speed of the CVT changes when the throttle opening of the vehicle changes.

[0109] Reference Figure 5 The flowchart of the method for determining whether a continuously variable transmission (CVT) currently meets the preset speed ratio control conditions is described in detail below:

[0110] S201. Obtain the current input shaft speed of the continuously variable transmission (CVT).

[0111] The current input shaft speed of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) can be obtained using a sensor that acquires the input shaft speed. The current input shaft speed of the CVT is the actual current speed of the CVT.

[0112] S202. Determine the speed difference between the input shaft speed and the target speed.

[0113] The speed difference is an absolute value, meaning it is a positive number; in other words, the speed difference is the absolute value of the difference between the output shaft and the target speed.

[0114] S203. Determine whether the speed difference is greater than or equal to the preset difference; when the speed difference is greater than or equal to the preset difference, execute S204; when the speed difference is not greater than or equal to the preset difference, execute S205.

[0115] The speed difference is compared with the preset difference to determine whether the speed difference is greater than or equal to the preset difference.

[0116] The preset difference value is a pre-set value that can be set according to actual needs. It is usually a reasonable value obtained after analyzing a large amount of data, and the value is positive.

[0117] S204. Determine that the continuously variable transmission (CVT) meets the preset speed ratio control conditions.

[0118] S205. It is determined that the continuously variable transmission does not meet the preset speed ratio control conditions.

[0119] Furthermore, when it is determined that the continuously variable transmission (CVT) meets the preset speed ratio control conditions, the next process can be initiated. When it is determined that the CVT does not meet the preset speed ratio control conditions, a new target speed for the CVT can be obtained, and based on the new target speed, it can be determined again whether the CVT meets the preset speed ratio control conditions.

[0120] It should be noted that when the continuously variable transmission (CVT) meets the preset speed ratio control conditions, it can be determined that the speed ratio of the CVT has changed by a step, and it is necessary to control the actual speed ratio of the CVT to gradually switch to the target speed ratio.

[0121] S102. When it is determined that the continuously variable transmission (CVT) meets the preset speed ratio control conditions, the current target speed ratio of the CVT is determined.

[0122] When determining the target speed ratio of a continuously variable transmission (CVT), it can be determined by the target speed and the input shaft speed. Specifically, the target speed can be divided by the input shaft speed to obtain the current target speed ratio of the CVT.

[0123] S103. Determine the target speed ratio change rate of the target speed ratio, and periodically adjust the change rate of the target speed ratio change rate based on a preset speed ratio limiting strategy, and adjust the speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission according to the adjusted limiting speed ratio change rate until the speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission reaches the target speed ratio.

[0124] In the method provided by this invention, the target rate of change of the target speed ratio can be obtained by taking the first derivative of the speed ratio.

[0125] After obtaining the target speed ratio change rate, it is necessary to periodically adjust the change rate of the target speed ratio based on the speed ratio limiting strategy and the response characteristics of the hydraulic system. Each adjustment of the target speed ratio change rate yields a corresponding limiting speed ratio change rate. The speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) is adjusted according to the limiting speed ratio change rate to obtain the speed ratio corresponding to the limiting speed ratio change rate. The speed ratio corresponding to the limiting speed ratio change rate is compared with the target speed ratio. When the speed ratio corresponding to the limiting speed ratio change rate matches the target speed ratio, the adjustment of the target speed ratio change rate can be stopped to complete the control of the CVT speed ratio. When the speed ratio corresponding to the limiting speed ratio change rate does not match the target speed ratio, the adjustment of the target speed ratio change rate continues.

[0126] In the method provided by the embodiments of the present invention, when adjusting the rate of change of the target speed ratio, it can be obtained by taking the second derivative of the speed ratio. By adjusting the rate of change of the target speed ratio, the speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission can be gradually and smoothly switched to the target speed ratio in a curved manner during the process of gradually adjusting the speed ratio to the target speed ratio, ensuring the smoothness of the speed ratio switching process and improving the drivability of the vehicle.

[0127] In the method provided by this invention, the current target speed of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) is obtained, and based on the target speed, it is determined whether the CVT meets a preset speed ratio control condition. When it is determined that the CVT meets the preset speed ratio control condition, the current target speed ratio of the CVT is determined. The target speed ratio change rate is determined, and based on a preset speed ratio limiting strategy, the change rate of the target speed ratio change rate is periodically adjusted. The speed ratio of the CVT is then adjusted according to the adjusted limiting speed ratio change rate until the speed ratio of the CVT reaches the target speed ratio. When it is determined that the CVT meets the speed ratio control condition, the change rate of the target speed ratio change rate is periodically adjusted according to the preset speed ratio limiting strategy, and the speed ratio of the CVT is adjusted according to the adjusted limiting speed ratio change rate. This allows the speed ratio of the CVT to smoothly switch to the target speed ratio, thereby effectively mitigating system flow fluctuations, delaying CVT aging, and extending CVT lifespan.

[0128] The method provided in this embodiment of the invention describes the process of periodically adjusting the rate of change of the target speed ratio and controlling the speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) according to the adjusted limit rate of change until the speed ratio of the CVT reaches the target speed ratio. The specific process is described below. Figure 6 As shown, the specific explanation is as follows:

[0129] S301. Determine the initial control period and set the initial control period as the first control period.

[0130] When determining the initial control cycle, it can be determined based on the preset time step. For example, if the time step is 0.01 seconds, then the duration of the initial control cycle is 0.01 seconds.

[0131] The initial control cycle is the first cycle for adjusting the rate of change of the target speed ratio, and also the first cycle for adjusting the speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission.

[0132] S302. Obtain the first control parameters corresponding to the first control cycle.

[0133] The first control parameters include, but are not limited to, the oil temperature of the hydraulic system and the current actual output speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission; furthermore, the first control parameters may also include the current driven cylinder pressure and driving cylinder pressure of the hydraulic system.

[0134] S303. Based on each first control parameter, obtain the first limit range of the rate of change of the target speed ratio corresponding to the first control cycle.

[0135] Based on each of the first control parameters, by performing a derivative operation, the first limit range of the rate of change of the target speed ratio corresponding to the first control cycle can be obtained, where the first limit range is the range within which the rate of change of the target speed ratio can be adjusted.

[0136] S304. Determine the first limiting parameter corresponding to the first control cycle, and based on the first limiting parameter and the first limiting range, determine the first limiting value of the rate of change of the target speed ratio corresponding to the first control cycle.

[0137] It should be noted that when the first control cycle is the initial control cycle, the first limit parameter is empty; when the first control cycle is not the initial control cycle, the first limit parameter is the limit value of the rate of change of the target speed ratio in the previous control cycle; the specific value of the determined first limit value is within the first limit range.

[0138] S305. Determine the first limit speed ratio change rate corresponding to the first limit value, and based on the first limit speed ratio change rate, control the continuously variable transmission output to the first speed ratio corresponding to the first control cycle.

[0139] After determining the first limit value, the first limit speed ratio change rate can be determined based on the first limit value, and the continuously variable transmission (CVT) output can be controlled according to the first limit speed ratio change rate to correspond to the first speed ratio of the first control cycle; wherein, the first speed ratio is the speed ratio output by the CVT within the first control cycle controlled according to the first limit speed ratio change rate. The first speed ratio is the actual output speed ratio of the CVT.

[0141] By comparing the first gear ratio with the target gear ratio, it can be determined whether the first gear ratio is equal to the target gear ratio.

[0142] S307. Determine whether the difference between the first limit speed ratio change rate and the target speed ratio change rate is zero; if it is determined that the difference between the first limit speed ratio change rate and the target speed ratio change rate is not zero, then execute S308; if it is determined that the difference between the first limit speed ratio change rate and the target speed ratio change rate is zero, then execute S309.

[0143] S308. Determine the next control cycle, set the next control cycle as the new first control cycle, and return to execute S302.

[0144] The first stage is the process of adjusting the speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) based on the first control cycle. In this stage, the rate of change of the target speed ratio can be gradually adjusted so that the rate of change of the CVT can smoothly transition to the target speed ratio in the form of a curve. This allows the CVT speed ratio to be adjusted in a curve, which can reduce flow fluctuations, thus enabling good tracking of hydraulic pressure, delaying CVT aging, and extending the CVT's service life.

[0146] S310. Determine the next control cycle and designate the next control cycle as the second control cycle.

[0147] When the next control cycle is determined as the second control cycle, it indicates that the rate of change of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) speed ratio has entered the constant speed change stage. At this time, the output speed ratio of the CVT can be directly controlled according to the target speed ratio change.

[0148] S311. Based on the target speed ratio change rate, control the output of the continuously variable transmission to the second speed ratio corresponding to the second control cycle.

[0149] The process of adjusting the rate of change of the target speed ratio is the second stage, in which the speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission changes at a steady speed.

[0150] S312. Determine whether the difference between the second speed ratio and the target speed ratio is greater than the first threshold. If the difference between the second speed ratio and the target speed ratio is greater than the first threshold, then execute S313.

[0153] It should be noted that when the next control cycle is determined as the third control cycle, the adjustment of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) speed ratio can be determined to enter the third stage. In this stage, by adjusting the rate of change of the target speed ratio, the CVT speed ratio can be smoothly transitioned to the target speed ratio, effectively reducing flow fluctuations, improving the working performance of the CVT, delaying the aging of the CVT, and extending the service life of the CVT.

[0154] It should be noted that when the next control cycle is determined to be the third control cycle, the time for entering the third stage of adjusting the gear ratio of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) has already been determined. At this time, the gear ratio of the CVT has not yet reached the target gear ratio.

[0164] S321, Complete the control of the speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission.

[0165] This invention, by taking into account the response delay characteristics of hydraulic systems, increases the adjustment of the rate of change of speed ratio, avoids sudden changes in system flow, ensures normal tracking of actual hydraulic pressure, delays CVT aging, and extends the service life of CVT.

[0166] This invention adjusts the rate of change of the speed ratio in three stages. The first stage is the transition from a steady speed to a rapid speed change. In this stage, the rate of change of the speed ratio is adjusted based on the influence of oil temperature and the response time of the spool valve. The second stage is the steady speed change stage, where the rate of change of the speed ratio is adjusted to 0. In this stage, the speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) can be adjusted based on the original rate of change of the speed ratio (i.e., the target rate of change of the speed ratio). The third stage is the transition from a rapid speed change to a steady speed stage. Before entering this stage, the entry time needs to be determined, which is based on the second stage. Furthermore, the entry time into the third stage is the end time of the second stage. After entering the third stage, the rate of change of the speed ratio can be adjusted based on the influence of oil temperature and the delay time of the spool valve, so that the speed ratio of the CVT gradually switches to the target speed ratio.

[0167] For example, Figure 7 The figure shows the change curves of various vehicle parameters after adjusting the gear ratio of a continuously variable transmission (CVT) using this invention. The curves include those for throttle, vehicle speed, input shaft speed, gear ratio, driven cylinder pressure, driving cylinder pressure, and gear ratio change rate. As shown, applying this invention to adjust the gear ratio of the CVT allows the actual gear ratio to smoothly transition to the target gear ratio. It also allows for real-time tracking of the driving and driven cylinder pressures, thus preventing sudden changes in system flow and delaying CVT aging, extending the CVT's lifespan.

[0168] For example, Figure 8 Examples of various speed ratio curves are shown, including speed ratio curves that adjust the speed ratio of a continuously variable transmission (CVT) using different control methods. The figures include the original target speed ratio curve, the target speed ratio curve after limiting the rate of change of speed ratio, and the target speed ratio curve after limiting the change of the rate of change of speed ratio.

[0169] The original target speed ratio curve does not pass through the speed ratio curve that limits the rate of change of speed ratio. As can be seen from the curve, the speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission directly switches to the speed ratio with a large difference, resulting in a speed ratio step, which can easily cause sudden changes in the flow of the system.

[0170] The target curve after limiting the rate of change of the gear ratio is the gear ratio curve after limiting the rate of change of the gear ratio. As can be seen from the curve, the continuously variable transmission adjusts the gear ratio according to the limited rate of change, so that the gear ratio gradually switches to the target curve. The limited rate of change is the rate of change of the gear ratio, which can be obtained by differentiating the original target gear ratio. Although limiting the rate of change can make the gear ratio of the continuously variable transmission gradually switch to the target curve, as can be seen from the curve, there are still abrupt changes from the beginning of the adjustment to the point where the target gear ratio is reached.

[0171] The target speed ratio curve after limiting the rate of change of the speed ratio is the derivative of the target speed ratio curve after limiting the rate of change of the speed ratio. That is, the target speed ratio curve after limiting the rate of change of the speed ratio is the curve obtained by taking the second derivative of the original target speed ratio curve. As can be seen from the curve, after limiting the rate of change of the speed ratio, the continuously variable transmission (CVT) switches to the target speed ratio in a curved manner, thus achieving a smooth transition to the target curve and mitigating flow fluctuations. The current slope k1 in the figure can be interpreted as the rate of change of the target speed ratio after limiting the rate of change of the speed ratio. ), can also be understood as the rate of change of the speed ratio obtained based on the rate of change of the limit speed ratio; the final slope k0 can be understood as the target speed ratio rate of change, or as the final speed ratio rate of change when reaching the target speed ratio. ), , The target speed ratio; The speed ratio is obtained based on the limited rate of change of the speed ratio.

[0172] It should be noted that the rate of change of the constraint in the figure is the rate of change of the target speed ratio, where, This represents the rate of change of the speed ratio, which can also be understood as the target rate of change of the speed ratio. The rate of change of the speed ratio is obtained by taking the first derivative of the steel belt speed ratio. This refers to the speed ratio of the steel belt.

[0173] ;

[0174] in, The change over one period of time, i.e. Time and The time difference at any given moment is the amount of time change over one cycle; The change in the steel belt speed ratio over one cycle, i.e. Speed ​​ratio at each time point ( )and Speed ​​ratio at each time point ( The difference between ); therefore, When the speed ratio changes Within a certain range, when the period is fixed, the variable range of the rate of change of the speed ratio at a certain moment depends on the speed ratio value and the range of the rate of change of the speed ratio at the previous moment.

[0175] Here, the rate of change of the limiting rate of change can be understood as the rate of change of the limiting target speed ratio. ,in, This represents the rate of change of the target speed ratio. Furthermore, the rate of change of the target speed ratio is obtained by taking the second derivative with respect to the speed ratio of the steel belt. This represents the change in the rate of change of the steel belt speed ratio over one cycle, i.e. Time to Rate of change of speed ratio during the process at time step and Time to Rate of change of speed ratio during the process at time step The difference; Time and The time difference between moments is one period. , Time and The time difference between moments is also a period. ;therefore, When the rate of change of the target speed ratio Within a certain range, when the period is fixed, the variable range of the speed ratio at a certain moment depends on the speed ratio value of the previous period, the speed ratio value of the period before that, and the range of the change rate of the speed ratio.

[0176] This invention fully considers the response characteristics of the hydraulic system, ensuring good tracking of the actual hydraulic pressure during gear ratio changes, avoiding actual hydraulic pressure slippage and overshoot, ensuring real-time clamping of the steel belt, and improving the fatigue life of the steel belt. The rate of change of the actual rotational speed is equivalent to the magnitude of the moment of inertia. After applying this invention, the switching of the rate of change of the actual rotational speed becomes smoother, that is, the change of the moment of inertia is also smoother, and thus the change of the driving force at the wheel end is also smoother, ensuring smoothness during gear ratio changes and improving the overall drivability of the vehicle.

[0177] and Figure 4 Corresponding to the method shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a speed ratio control device for a continuously variable transmission (CVT), used to support...

[0181] In the apparatus provided by this invention, the current target speed of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) is acquired, and based on the target speed, it is determined whether the CVT meets preset speed ratio control conditions. When it is determined that the CVT meets the preset speed ratio control conditions, the current target speed ratio of the CVT is determined. The target speed ratio change rate is determined, and based on a preset speed ratio limiting strategy, the change rate of the target speed ratio change rate is periodically adjusted. The speed ratio of the CVT is then adjusted according to the adjusted limiting speed ratio change rate until the speed ratio of the CVT reaches the target speed ratio. When it is determined that the CVT meets the speed ratio control conditions, the change rate of the target speed ratio change rate is periodically adjusted according to the preset speed ratio limiting strategy, and the speed ratio of the CVT is adjusted according to the adjusted limiting speed ratio change rate. This allows the speed ratio of the CVT to smoothly switch to the target speed ratio, thereby effectively mitigating system flow fluctuations, delaying CVT aging, and extending CVT lifespan.
