[0046] Embodiment

[0047] The method for AMT off-line test of the commercial vehicle provided by the application has the following advantages: the test process is fully automated; the test rhythm is controllable, and can meet the huge production and manufacturing requirements; the test items are configurable, and can realize personalized test requirements; the test method is suitable for different types of AMT gearboxes; the test method and test items cover all functions to be tested of the AMT; and the test results are traceable.

[0048] Figure 1 is a structural principle diagram of the AMT off-line test bench. The gearbox is connected with the front and rear motors of the test bench through the dry clutch and the flange plate, and the test bench communicates with the TCU through the UDS protocol. The front and rear motors provide a basic test environment for the off-line test of the gearbox, and provide the rotating speed or load for the gearbox during the off-line test.

[0049] The off-line process of the embodiment mainly includes the following three steps:

[0050] First, the gearbox is clamped.

[0051] The assembled gearbox is fixed on the tray, as shown in Figure 2 The tray has different support points, and can be adapted to different models of the gearbox. The process harness on the tray is connected with the TCU, wherein the process harness refers to a specially designed harness for meeting a large number of plugging and unplugging times. The air pipe on the tray is connected with the air source interface of the gearbox.

[0052] After the bench is ready, the line-mounted tray with the gearbox is transferred to a fixed position, the tray lifts the gearbox to the same height as the clutch inner spline, the front-end motor provides a speed of 10 RPM, the tray inserts the gearbox shaft into the clutch inner spline, and the bench headstock assembly clamps the gearbox clutch housing. After the gearbox clutch housing is clamped, the front-end motor stops rotating and remains free. Then the bench rear-end output shaft quickly approaches the gearbox flange at a speed of 0.05 m / s. After leaving the flange by 5 cm, it approaches the flange at a speed of 0.01 m / s, while the rear-end motor provides a speed of 10 RPM to ensure that the output shaft and the flange spline are matched. Figure 3 The clamping device of the bench headstock shown in

[0053] After the above clamping steps are completed, the bench connects the harness to the tray harness, connects the air source to the tray air source interface, scans the code to read the gearbox information, and provides appropriate DC power and air source for the gearbox according to the corresponding protocol file.

[0054] Second, complete the test according to the specified process.

[0055] After the gearbox is clamped, all offline test items are completed according to the offline process shown in Figure 4

[0056] (1) Wait for the gearbox to be clamped. If it is not clamped, the bench will alarm and process it. If it is clamped, go to the next step.

[0057] (2) The bench scans the two-dimensional code on the gearbox, selects the corresponding configuration file on the server according to the information read by the code scanning, and the configuration file lists the working voltage and CAN bus information baud rate corresponding to the gearbox. According to the configuration file, provide appropriate DC power for the TCU, configure the CAN network environment, provide appropriate pressure dry compressed air source for the gearbox, and read the fault code. If there is a hardware fault, it will be immediately repaired. If there is no hardware fault, go to the next step.

[0058] (3) Read the software version number and other information stored in the TCU, and check with the information read by scanning the two-dimensional code. If the software version number and other information are incorrect, repair and rewrite the software. If the software version number and other information are correct, go to the next step.

[0059] (4) Test the clutch actuator solenoid. The specific test process is shown in Figure 5 If the test fails, repair it. If the test is successful, go to the next step.

[0060] ​(5)Gearbox self-learning, if successful, then go to the next step, if failed, then repeat the activation of gearbox self-learning, if successful after repeated testing, then go to the next step, if still failed after repeated testing, then repair.

[0061] (6)TB (Transmission Brake) test, if successful, then go to the next step, if failed, then repeat the activation of TB test, if successful after repeated testing, then go to the next step, if still failed after repeated testing, then repair.

[0062] (7) NVH test, if successful, then go to the next step, if failed, then repair.

[0063] (8) Reset the vehicle parameters and clear fault codes.

[0064] The clutch actuator is composed of two sets of intake valves and two sets of exhaust valves, as well as displacement sensors and cylinders. The test of the clutch actuator mainly tests whether the function of the electromagnetic valve is normal and whether there is a leakage.

[0065] As shown in Figure 5 , it is the specific process of the clutch actuator electromagnetic valve test.

[0066] (1) After the TCU receives the command of the clutch actuator electromagnetic valve test sent by the test bench, the clutch intake fast valve is opened for 0.2s and then closed. The TCU determines whether the function of the intake fast valve is normal according to the change of the displacement sensor signal of the clutch actuator. If it is abnormal, the test is stopped, the exhaust valve is opened for 0.3s and then closed, and the repair is returned. If it is normal, then go to the next step.

[0067] (2) The exhaust slow valve is opened for 0.1s and then closed. The TCU determines whether the function of the exhaust slow valve is normal according to the change of the displacement sensor signal of the clutch actuator. If it is abnormal, the test is stopped, the exhaust valve is opened for 0.3s and then closed, and the repair is returned. If it is normal, then go to the next step.

[0068] (3) The clutch intake slow valve is opened for 0.1s and then closed. The TCU determines whether the function of the intake slow valve is normal according to the change of the displacement sensor signal of the clutch actuator. If it is abnormal, the test is stopped, the exhaust valve is opened for 0.3s and then closed, and the repair is returned. If it is normal, then go to the next step.

[0069] (4) The exhaust fast valve is opened for 0.3s and then closed. The TCU determines whether the function of the exhaust fast valve is normal according to the change of the displacement sensor signal of the clutch actuator. If it is abnormal, the test is stopped, the exhaust valve is opened for 0.3s and then closed, and the repair is returned. If it is normal, then go to the next step.

[0070] (5) After opening the two intake valves for 0.2s, close them, and within 5 minutes, check whether the displacement sensor changes by more than 2mm. If it does, open the exhaust valve for 0.3s and then close it, feed back to the test bench that the test has failed and return it for repair. If it does not change by more than 2mm, open the exhaust valve for 0.3s and then close it, feed back to the test bench that the test has succeeded.

[0071] The specific process of the TB test is that the test bench sends a TB test command to the TCU and keeps the front-end motor at 1500 RPM. After receiving the TB test command, the TCU opens the clutch when the input shaft speed is 1500 ± 100 RPM, opens the brake solenoid valve for 0.2s and then closes it after 0.2s, and closes the clutch after 0.5s. The TCU calculates the response time, brake rate and brake exit time of the TB according to the change of the input shaft speed. If all indicators meet the design requirements, feed back to the test bench that the test has succeeded. If the design requirements are not met, repeat the test. If the design requirements are still not met after repeated testing, feed back to the test bench that the test has failed and return it for repair. If all indicators meet the design requirements after repeated testing, feed back to the test bench that the test has succeeded.

[0072] The NVH test mainly checks whether the gearbox gears have burrs or abnormal noise due to improper assembly. After clamping the gearbox, the test bench automatically attaches the NVH test equipment to the gearbox housing. After the test bench sends an NVH test command to the TCU, the front-end motor of the test bench is 80 RPM, the TCU executes the gear engagement action, and the test bench receives the feedback of the TCU. When the TCU completes the gear engagement, the front-end motor of the test bench increases the speed to 1500 RPM at a rate of 300 RPM, and the rear-end motor provides a load matching the gear position. After the front-end motor runs at a constant speed for 5 seconds, it decreases the speed to 80 RPM at a rate of 300 RPM, and the rear-end motor provides a load matching the gear position during the speed reduction process. The TCU engages the next gear, and repeats the above steps until the TCU feeds back to the test bench that all tests have been completed. During the entire test process, the NVH equipment detects the vibration state of the gearbox and determines whether it is qualified. If it is not qualified, the test is immediately stopped and returned for repair. During the NVH test, the gears that need to be detected, i.e. the gears that need to be engaged, can be flexibly configured by the TCU.

[0073] The above test steps and test items are sent by the test bench to the TCU through the UDS protocol, and whether each item is qualified is determined according to the reply received from the TCU. Each test step can not only be automatically processed according to the process, but also can be configured with the items to be tested in the automatic test process, and can be manually activated or repeatedly activated.

[0074] Thirdly, a test report is generated.

[0075] After completing the test, the test report is automatically generated, important information such as offline time, gearbox order number, software version number, gearbox self-learning result and the like are recorded, and the server is uploaded. The after-sales market can find the corresponding gearbox offline test report according to the gearbox order number.

[0076] The application discloses an AMT offline test method, clearly defines the clamping process of the gearbox on the test bench, details the test items and test process of the AMT offline test, provides strong support for the establishment of the automatic production line, guarantees the huge production and manufacturing demand, and comprehensively reduces the zero kilometer fault of the AMT product.
