[0040] It should be noted that this is only one preferred embodiment for obtaining the spring pressure and the torque of the to-be-tested clutch under at least one to-be-tested working condition, and the process and method for obtaining the spring pressure and the torque of the to-be-tested clutch under at least one to-be-tested working condition are not specifically limited herein, and all processes and methods for obtaining the spring pressure and the torque of the to-be-tested clutch under at least one to-be-tested working condition are within the protection scope of the present application, and are not listed one by one herein.

[0041] In the step S104 of the present application, the target test result of the to-be-tested clutch is determined based on the spring pressure and the torque, wherein the target test result at least includes the performance index parameter of the to-be-tested clutch.

[0042] In the technical solution provided in the step S104 of the present application, after the spring pressure and the torque of the to-be-tested clutch under at least one to-be-tested working condition are obtained in the stable working state, the target test result of the to-be-tested clutch is determined according to the obtained spring pressure and torque, wherein the target test result at least includes the performance index parameter of the to-be-tested clutch. For example, the clutch friction coefficient μ of the to-be-tested clutch is determined according to the obtained spring pressure P0 and torque T P .

[0047] The above method of the embodiment will be further introduced below.

[0050] In this embodiment, the reference rotational speed difference can be represented by S1, the reference pressure can be represented by P1, the multiple pressurization cycles can be represented by N1, N2 and N3, the sliding friction power can be represented by W, and the multiple target torques can be represented by T1, T2, T3 and T4.

[0051] In this embodiment, the rotational speed difference between the driving end and the driven end of the clutch to be tested can be adjusted from the original rotational speed difference to a reference rotational speed difference, and the spring pressure can be adjusted from the original pressure to a reference pressure, so as to control the clutch test device to perform multiple pressurization cycles on the clutch to be tested, to obtain multiple sliding friction powers made by the clutch to be tested in the process and multiple target torques, so as to achieve the purpose of obtaining the initial test result.

[0052] For example, the test bench can be adjusted so that the rotational speed difference between the driving end and the driven end of the clutch is S1, the clutch pressure is P1, and the torque transmitted by the clutch is recorded as T1; the rotational speed difference of the clutch is adjusted to S1, the clutch pressure is adjusted, N1 pressurization cycles are completed, the sliding friction power made by the clutch in the N1 pressurization cycles is calculated as W, and the torque transmitted by the clutch in the N1 cycle is recorded as T2; the rotational speed difference of the clutch is adjusted to S1, the clutch pressure is adjusted, and the clutch pressurization cycle is performed, when the sliding friction power W is generated, the pressurization is stopped and the cycle number N2 of the clutch pressurization at this time is recorded, and the torque transmitted by the clutch in the N2 cycle is recorded as T3; the rotational speed difference of the clutch is adjusted to S1, the clutch pressure is adjusted, and the clutch pressurization cycle is performed, when the sliding friction power W is generated, the pressurization is stopped and the cycle number N3 of the clutch pressurization at this time is recorded, and the torque transmitted by the clutch in the N3 cycle is recorded as T4; and the initial test result is obtained based on the multiple sliding friction powers and the multiple target torques.

[0053] As an optional embodiment, based on the plurality of sliding friction work and the plurality of target torques, the initial test result is obtained, including: based on a target sliding friction work in the plurality of sliding friction work, and a first target torque and a second target torque in the plurality of target torques, determining a torque change amount of the to-be-tested clutch under unit sliding friction work, wherein a first time at which the to-be-tested clutch transmits the first target torque is earlier than a second time at which the to-be-tested clutch generates the second target torque, and the target sliding friction work is work done by the to-be-tested clutch at the second time; and in response to the torque change amount being less than or equal to a change amount threshold, obtaining the initial test result.

[0054] In this embodiment, the to-be-tested clutch can be controlled to perform a plurality of pressurization cycles based on the reference speed difference and the reference pressure, and a plurality of sliding friction work done by the to-be-tested clutch during the pressurization cycles and a plurality of target torques of the to-be-tested clutch during the pressurization cycles are obtained. Then, based on a target sliding friction work in the plurality of sliding friction work and a first target torque and a second target torque in the plurality of target torques, a torque change amount of the to-be-tested clutch under unit sliding friction work is determined. If the torque change amount is less than or equal to a change amount threshold, an initial test result can be obtained, that is, the working state of the to-be-tested clutch is switched from an original working state to a stable working state.

[0055] In this embodiment, the torque change amount under unit sliding friction work can be calculated and obtained according to the obtained target torque and sliding friction work of the clutch. The calculation formula can be k1=(T2-T1) / W, k2=(T3-T2) / W, k3=(T4-T3) / W, etc. This is only an example and is not limited in detail. The change amount threshold can be a threshold k min .

[0056] For example, the test bench can be adjusted so that the difference between the driving end and driven end rotational speeds of the clutch is S1, the clutch pressure is P1, and the torque transmitted by the clutch is recorded as T1; the clutch rotational speed difference is adjusted to S1, and the clutch pressure is adjusted, N1 pressure cycles are completed, the friction work done by the clutch in the N1 pressure cycles is calculated as W, the torque transmitted by the clutch in the N1 cycle is recorded as T2, and the torque change k1 = (T2-T1) / W; the clutch rotational speed difference is adjusted to S1, and the clutch pressure is adjusted, and the clutch pressure cycle is performed, and when the friction work done is W, the pressure is stopped and the number of pressure cycles N2 of the clutch at this time is recorded, the torque transmitted by the clutch in the N2 cycle is recorded as T3, and the torque change k2 = (T3-T2) / W; the clutch rotational speed difference is adjusted to S1, and the clutch pressure is adjusted, and the clutch pressure cycle is performed, and when the friction work done is W, the pressure is stopped and the number of pressure cycles N3 of the clutch at this time is recorded, the torque transmitted by the clutch in the N3 cycle is recorded as T4, and the torque change k3 = (T4-T3) / W; the above process is repeated until the obtained k value is less than or equal to the threshold value k min At this time, the running-in test is completed, and the initial test result can be determined.

[0057] As an optional embodiment, in the stable working state, the spring pressure and torque of the clutch to be tested under at least one working condition are obtained, including: in the stable working state, a plurality of test pressures for testing the spring pressure of the clutch to be tested are determined, wherein the plurality of test pressures are sorted in an increasing manner; under at least one working condition, the plurality of test pressures are applied to the clutch to be tested in an increasing manner, and a plurality of test torques transmitted by the clutch to be tested under the plurality of test pressures are obtained, wherein the plurality of test pressures are associated with the plurality of test torques; and the spring pressure and torque are determined based on the plurality of test torques.

[0058] In this embodiment, after the running-in test of the clutch to be tested is performed by the clutch test device in response to the test instruction and the initial test result is obtained, a plurality of test pressures for testing the spring pressure of the clutch to be tested are determined in the stable working state, then the plurality of test pressures are applied to the clutch to be tested in an increasing manner under at least one working condition, a plurality of test torques transmitted by the clutch to be tested under the plurality of test pressures are obtained, and the spring pressure and torque are determined based on the plurality of test torques, wherein the plurality of test pressures are sorted in an increasing manner, and the plurality of test pressures are associated with the plurality of test torques, i.e., the test pressure corresponds to the test torque one by one.

[0059] In this embodiment, the plurality of to-be-tested pressures can be selected in an incremental manner starting from 0 mega pascal (MPa), the plurality of test torques can be the transmission input end torque values of the clutch under different pressures, and the association between the plurality of to-be-tested pressures and the plurality of test torques can be a one-to-one correspondence between the plurality of to-be-tested pressures and the plurality of test torques.

[0060] As an optional embodiment, determining the spring pressure and the torque based on the plurality of test torques includes: in response to a difference or a ratio between at least one test torque in the plurality of test torques and a test torque threshold being greater than or equal to a target threshold, determining a to-be-tested pressure corresponding to the test torque in the plurality of to-be-tested pressures as the spring pressure; and determining the torque based on the spring pressure.

[0061] In this embodiment, after the plurality of to-be-tested pressures are applied to the to-be-tested clutch in an incremental manner under at least one to-be-tested working condition to obtain the plurality of test torques transmitted by the to-be-tested clutch under the plurality of to-be-tested pressures, if a difference or a ratio between at least one test torque in the plurality of test torques and a test torque threshold is greater than or equal to a target threshold, a to-be-tested pressure corresponding to the test torque in the plurality of test pressures can be determined as the spring pressure, and the torque of the to-be-tested clutch under the at least one to-be-tested working condition can be determined according to the spring pressure.

[0062] In this embodiment, the test torque threshold can be a drag torque value, and the target threshold can be a pre-set threshold, for example, 10 newton meters (Nm). Here, only the test torque threshold and the target threshold are exemplified, and the test torque threshold and the target threshold are not specifically limited.

[0063] For example, the clutch speed difference S' can be controlled, and the drag torque value after stable operation is recorded; the clutch target pressure is selected in an incremental manner starting from 0 MPa, and the odd / even clutch pressure is stepped up to each target pressure until the transmission input end torque value is greater than the drag torque value by 10 Nm, the clutch pressure at this time is recorded, that is, the clutch spring pressure P0 under the working condition, and the torque transmitted at this time is recorded as T0.

[0064] As an optional embodiment, determining the torque based on the spring pressure includes: applying the spring pressure to the to-be-tested clutch within a target time period; and updating the spring pressure to a target spring pressure within a time period after the target time period to obtain the torque of the to-be-tested clutch in a stable working state, where the target spring pressure is less than the spring pressure.

[0065] In this embodiment, after the difference or ratio between at least one of the test torques and the test torque threshold is greater than or equal to the target threshold, the spring pressure corresponding to the test torque among the plurality of test pressures can be determined as the spring pressure, then the spring pressure can be updated to the target spring pressure in a target time period, and the torque of the test clutch in the stable working state can be obtained, wherein the target time period can be a preset time period, and the target spring pressure can be 0. s The target time period can be represented by t

[0066] For example, when the clutch friction coefficient test is performed, the clutch speed difference S can be controlled, the clutch pressure P can be set, and the time period t s The clutch pressure can be set to zero, and the torque value T P can be recorded after the operation is stable.

[0067] In this embodiment, the test clutch is tested by the clutch test device to switch the working state of the test clutch from the original working state to the stable working state, and then the spring pressure and the torque of the test clutch under at least one test working condition are obtained, and finally the target test result of the test clutch is determined according to the obtained spring pressure and torque, thereby solving the technical problem that the clutch friction coefficient cannot be tested, and achieving the technical effect that the clutch friction coefficient can be tested.
