Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a method, device and storage medium for starting control of a vehicle with a dual-clutch transmission. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of automotive technology, automatic transmissions are being used more and more widely. Among the many types of automatic transmissions, dual-clutch transmissions hold a pivotal position in the global automotive market.

[0003] Currently, vehicles equipped with dual-clutch transmissions typically start in first gear. To enable the vehicle to start quickly, the first and second drive shafts of the transmission are usually pre-engaged. When a gear shift is needed, it can be achieved quickly by controlling the disengagement and engagement of the clutches. However, at low temperatures, due to the high viscosity of the transmission fluid, the resistance during the shift fork engagement and disengagement process is greater, making it impossible for the shift fork to directly engage the corresponding gear. Therefore, starting in second gear is adopted.

[0004] Existing technology for second-gear start control strategies determines the start mode by detecting clutch oil temperature. The control method is as follows: The automatic transmission control unit (TCU) analyzes the driver's intention based on information transmitted from the shift lever position sensor to determine whether to enter the start control mode; based on information transmitted from the clutch oil temperature sensor, it analyzes and determines whether to enter the first-gear start control mode or the second-gear start control mode; after selecting the control mode, it commands the corresponding gear shift fork to engage the transmission gear of the current gear, and then controls the corresponding clutch to engage, realizing power transmission and thus completing the start.

[0005] However, when performing start-up control, there are problems such as slow start-up, long clutch slippage time, and high heat generation, which poses a risk of clutch overheating. This means that the vehicle may roll backwards on a slope due to lack of starting power. At the same time, due to the high viscosity of the oil at low temperatures, the transmission begins to supply cooling and lubrication flow when the driver performs gear shifting operations, which in turn prevents the shift fork from directly engaging the corresponding gear. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention provides a dual-clutch transmission start-up control method, device, and storage medium, which can effectively shorten vehicle start-up time and prevent the shift fork from failing to engage the corresponding gear.

[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, a vehicle start-up control method for a dual-clutch transmission is provided.

[0008] When the current oil temperature in the transmission is lower than a first set threshold, determine whether the vehicle is in a hill-start parking state.

[0009] When the vehicle is in an uphill or flat road condition, the highest temperature of the clutch on the second drive shaft in the second gear start state is calculated based on the current transmission fluid temperature and the slope of the road where the vehicle is located.

[0010] When the highest temperature is greater than the second set temperature threshold, the vehicle is controlled to start in first gear; when the highest temperature is less than or equal to the second set temperature threshold, the vehicle is controlled to start in second gear.

[0021] Optionally, after the gear on the first drive shaft is pre-engaged to first gear and the gear on the second drive shaft is pre-engaged to second gear, the method further includes:

[0022] Get external gear command;

[0023] When the external gear command is forward gear for forward start, the pressure of the first drive shaft clutch is controlled to gradually engage and transmit torque to achieve first gear start.

[0024] When the external gear command is reverse gear for starting in reverse, the first gear shift fork on the first drive shaft is disengaged and the reverse gear shift fork is engaged. After confirming that the reverse gear shift fork has been engaged, the clutch pressure on the first drive shaft is controlled to gradually engage and transmit torque, so as to achieve starting in reverse gear.

[0025] Optionally, after the gear on the first drive shaft is pre-engaged to reverse and the gear on the second drive shaft is pre-engaged to second gear, the method further includes:

[0026] Get external gear command;

[0027] When the external gear command is forward gear for forward start, the pressure of the second transmission shaft clutch is controlled to gradually engage and transmit torque to achieve second gear start.

[0028] When the external gear command is reverse gear for starting in reverse, the pressure of the first drive shaft clutch is controlled to gradually engage and transmit torque to achieve starting in reverse gear.

[0029] Optionally, when the highest temperature is greater than a second set temperature threshold, the vehicle is controlled to start in first gear; when the highest temperature is less than or equal to the second set temperature threshold, after controlling the vehicle to start in second gear, the method further includes:

[0030] When the vehicle starts in second gear, the highest temperature of the clutch on the second drive shaft is calculated based on the current oil temperature in the transmission and the gradient of the road where the vehicle is located.

[0031] When the highest temperature exceeds the second set temperature threshold, the vehicle is controlled to start in first gear until the vehicle reaches the speed threshold, thus completing the vehicle start control.

[0032] When the highest temperature is less than or equal to the second set temperature threshold, the vehicle is controlled to start in second gear until the vehicle reaches the speed threshold, thus completing the vehicle start control.

[0033] When the vehicle starts in first gear, control the vehicle to continue starting in first gear until the vehicle reaches the speed threshold, thus completing the vehicle start control.

[0034] According to another aspect of the present invention, a dual-clutch transmission vehicle start-up control device is provided, the device comprising: a vehicle body state determination module, a clutch temperature determination module, and a control module;

[0035] The vehicle status determination module is used to determine whether the vehicle is in a hilly parking state when the current oil temperature in the transmission is less than a first set threshold.

[0036] The clutch temperature determination module is used to calculate the highest temperature of the clutch on the second drive shaft in the second gear start state when the vehicle is in an uphill state or a flat road state, based on the current transmission fluid temperature and the slope of the road where the vehicle is located.

[0037] The control module is used to control the vehicle to start in first gear when the highest temperature is greater than the second set temperature threshold; and to control the vehicle to start in second gear when the highest temperature is less than or equal to the second set temperature threshold.

[0038] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, the computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions for causing a processor to execute and implement the dual-clutch transmission vehicle start-up control method according to any embodiment of the present invention.

When the current oil temperature is lower than a first preset threshold, it determines whether the vehicle is in a parking state on a slope. When the vehicle is in an uphill or flat road state, it calculates the maximum temperature of the clutch on the second drive shaft in second gear starting state based on the current transmission oil temperature and the slope of the slope. When the maximum temperature is higher than a second preset temperature threshold, it controls the vehicle to start in first gear; when the maximum temperature is less than or equal to the second preset temperature threshold, it controls the vehicle to start in second gear. This technical solution, by monitoring the current operating conditions and selecting the vehicle starting mode based on the oil temperature and the slope of the vehicle, effectively shortens the vehicle starting time in low-temperature conditions and identifies the risk of clutch overheating in advance, making the vehicle starting process faster and more reliable.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0051] Example 1

[0052] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a dual-clutch transmission vehicle start-up control method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations where the vehicle start-up time is long in low-temperature conditions and there is a risk of clutch overheating. This method can be executed by a dual-clutch transmission vehicle start-up control device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software. This dual-clutch transmission vehicle start-up control device can be configured in an electronic device with network communication capabilities. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0053] S110. When the current oil temperature in the transmission is less than the first set threshold, determine whether the vehicle is in an uphill or flat-slope state.

[0054] The dual-clutch transmission includes a first driveshaft and a second driveshaft. The first driveshaft is used to control odd-numbered gears, and the second driveshaft is used to control even-numbered gears.

[0055] Specifically, upon powering on the vehicle, the system detects the current transmission fluid temperature. If the current transmission fluid temperature exceeds a first preset threshold, the vehicle enters first gear starting mode. If the current transmission fluid temperature is below the first preset threshold, the system determines whether the vehicle is in a hilly parking position. If it is in a downhill position, the vehicle enters first gear starting mode. The first preset threshold can be manually preset to determine whether the vehicle is starting in a low-temperature environment. For example, the first preset threshold is -15°C.

[0056] S120. When the vehicle is on an uphill or flat road, calculate the highest temperature of the clutch on the second drive shaft in the second gear starting state based on the current transmission fluid temperature and the slope of the road where the vehicle is located.

[0057] Specifically, when the current transmission fluid temperature is below a first set threshold, it is determined whether the vehicle is in a hilly parking state. If it is in an uphill or flat state, the maximum temperature of the clutch on the second drive shaft in second gear start-up state is calculated based on the current transmission fluid temperature and the slope of the slope the vehicle is on. The maximum temperature of the clutch on the second drive shaft in second gear start-up state is calculated based on a clutch temperature model, which can be pre-stored. The clutch temperature model is a clutch temperature model relating the current transmission fluid temperature, the slope of the slope the vehicle is on, and the maximum temperature of the clutch on the second drive shaft in second gear start-up state. After determining the current transmission fluid temperature and the slope of the slope the vehicle is on, substituting them into the clutch temperature model yields the maximum temperature of the clutch on the second drive shaft in second gear start-up state, based on the current transmission fluid temperature and the slope of the slope the vehicle is on.

[0058] S130. When the highest temperature exceeds the second set temperature threshold, control the vehicle to start in first gear.

[0059] S140. When the highest temperature is less than or equal to the second set temperature threshold, control the vehicle to start in second gear.

[0060] The second set temperature threshold can be preset manually. Specifically, the second set temperature threshold is a value obtained by combining the torque magnitude, cooling oil temperature, cooling oil flow rate, current speed of the two clutch friction plates and speed difference through multiple tests.

[0061] Specifically, calculating the highest temperature of the clutch on the second drive shaft during second-gear start-up aims to determine if there is a risk of overheating in the clutch. When the highest temperature exceeds the second set temperature threshold, it indicates that the clutch is at risk of overheating. Furthermore, the viscosity of the clutch fluid is directly related to temperature. When the temperature is higher, the viscosity of the clutch fluid is lower, so the vehicle is controlled to start in first gear. When the highest temperature is less than or equal to the second set temperature threshold, it indicates that the clutch is not at risk of overheating. Furthermore, when the temperature is lower, the viscosity of the clutch fluid is higher, so the vehicle is controlled to start in second gear when the vehicle is at a low temperature and not overheating.

[0062] The technical solution provided by this invention detects the current oil temperature inside the transmission. When the current oil temperature is lower than a first preset threshold, it determines whether the vehicle is in a parking state on a slope. When the vehicle is in an uphill or flat road state, it calculates the maximum temperature of the clutch on the second drive shaft in second gear starting state based on the current transmission oil temperature and the slope of the slope. When the maximum temperature is higher than a second preset temperature threshold, it controls the vehicle to start in first gear; when the maximum temperature is less than or equal to the second preset temperature threshold, it controls the vehicle to start in second gear. This technical solution, by monitoring the current operating conditions and selecting the vehicle starting mode based on the oil temperature and the slope of the vehicle, effectively shortens the vehicle starting time in low-temperature conditions and identifies the risk of clutch overheating in advance, making the vehicle starting process faster and more reliable.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a dual-clutch transmission vehicle start-up control method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The present invention further refines the aforementioned embodiments based on the above embodiments, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0065] S210. Determine whether the current transmission fluid temperature is lower than the first set threshold.

[0066] If the current transmission fluid temperature is lower than the first set threshold, then execute S220; if the current transmission fluid temperature is greater than or equal to the first set threshold, then execute S230.

[0067] S220: Determine whether the vehicle is on an uphill or flat slope; if the vehicle is on a downhill slope, execute S230.

[0068] S230, control the vehicle to start in first gear.

[0069] S240. When the vehicle is on an uphill or flat road, calculate the highest temperature of the clutch on the second drive shaft in the second gear starting state based on the current transmission fluid temperature and the slope of the road where the vehicle is located.

[0070] S250. Determine whether the highest temperature is greater than the second set temperature threshold; if yes, execute S230; if no, execute S260.

[0071] S260, control the vehicle to start in second gear.

[0072] The technical solution provided by this invention quickly determines whether the vehicle is in a low-temperature state when starting by using the current transmission fluid temperature, and then selects different starting modes. Based on the slope of the road where the vehicle is located and the current transmission fluid temperature, it finally judges whether there is a risk of clutch overheating. When the vehicle is in a low-temperature state but not overheating, the second-gear starting mode is executed, which further effectively shortens the vehicle starting time under low-temperature conditions and avoids clutch overheating, making the vehicle starting process faster and more reliable.

[0073] Example 3

[0074] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a dual-clutch transmission vehicle start-up control method provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0075] S310. Determine whether the current transmission fluid temperature is lower than the first set threshold.

[0076] If the current transmission fluid temperature is lower than the first set threshold, then execute S320; if the current transmission fluid temperature is greater than or equal to the first set threshold, then execute S330.

[0077] S320: Determine whether the vehicle is on an uphill or flat slope; if the vehicle is on a downhill slope, execute S330.

[0078] S330, Control the gear on the first drive shaft to be engaged in first gear and the gear on the second drive shaft to be engaged in second gear.

[0079] S340. When the vehicle is on an uphill or flat road, calculate the highest temperature of the clutch on the second drive shaft in the second gear starting state based on the current transmission fluid temperature and the slope of the road where the vehicle is located.

[0080] S350: Determine whether the highest temperature is greater than the second set temperature threshold; if yes, execute S330; if no, execute S360.

[0081] S360, Control the gear on the first drive shaft to reverse and the gear on the second drive shaft to second gear.

[0082] In vehicles with dual-clutch automatic transmissions, the shift fork controlling reverse gear and the shift fork controlling first gear are on the same control shaft.

[0083] After S330, execute S331.

[0084] S331. Obtain external gear command and determine whether the external gear command is a forward gear;

[0085] When the external gear command is forward gear for forward start, S332 is executed; when the external gear command is reverse gear for reverse start, S333 is executed.

[0086] S332. Control the pressure of the first drive shaft clutch to gradually engage and transmit torque, so as to achieve first gear start.

[0087] S333: Disengage the first gear shift fork on the first drive shaft and engage the reverse gear shift fork. After confirming that the reverse gear shift fork has been engaged, control the clutch pressure on the first drive shaft to gradually engage and transmit torque to achieve reverse gear start.

[0088] After S360, execute S370.

[0089] S370: Obtain external gear command and determine whether the external gear command is a forward gear;

[0090] When the external gear command is forward gear for forward start, execute S380; when the external gear command is reverse gear for reverse start, execute S390.

[0091] S380: Control the pressure of the second drive shaft clutch to gradually engage and transmit torque, so as to achieve second gear start.

[0092] S390: Control the pressure of the first drive shaft clutch to gradually engage and transmit torque, so as to achieve reverse gear start.

[0093] The technical solution provided in this invention pre-controls the gear positions on the two drive shafts of the transmission through different starting modes. Specifically, after the engine is started and before the driver initiates a starting action, the corresponding shift forks are pre-controlled to engage the gear positions on the two drive shafts. If a first-gear starting mode is used, the gears on the first and second drive shafts should be pre-engaged as first and second gear, respectively. If a second-gear starting mode is used, the gears on the first and second drive shafts should be pre-engaged as reverse (R) and second gear, respectively. After the gear pre-engagement is completed, the system waits for the driver's gear command to determine the subsequent starting process. If a first-gear starting mode is used, and the driver engages a forward gear to start forward, the first drive shaft is controlled... The clutch pressure gradually engages and transmits torque, enabling first-gear start. In first-gear start mode, when the driver engages reverse gear, the first-gear shift fork on the first drive shaft is disengaged and the reverse shift fork is engaged. Once the reverse shift fork is engaged, the clutch pressure on the first drive shaft is gradually engaged and transmits torque, enabling reverse start. In second-gear start mode, when the driver engages forward gear, the clutch pressure on the second drive shaft is gradually engaged and transmits torque, enabling second-gear start. In second-gear start mode, when the driver engages reverse gear, the clutch pressure on the first drive shaft is gradually engaged and transmits torque, enabling reverse start. The technical solution provided by this invention allows for rapid engagement of the shift forks when the vehicle is first started, before the transmission shaft gears have been cooled and lubricated. This prevents the shift forks from failing to engage gears smoothly. When it is determined that second gear is required for starting, the shift forks on the first and second transmission shafts are engaged in reverse and second gear. When it is determined that first gear is required for starting, the shift forks on the first and second transmission shafts are engaged in first and second gear. This avoids the vehicle failing to start due to the low temperature causing the shift forks to be difficult to engage when the driver is reversing, further shortening the vehicle starting time and making the vehicle starting process faster and more reliable.

[0094] Example 4

[0095] Figure 4 This is a flowchart of a dual-clutch transmission vehicle start-up control method provided in Embodiment 4 of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0096] S410. Determine whether the current transmission fluid temperature is lower than the first set threshold.

[0097] If the current transmission fluid temperature is lower than the first set threshold, then execute S420; if the current transmission fluid temperature is greater than or equal to the first set threshold, then execute S430.

[0098] S420: Determine whether the vehicle is on an uphill or flat slope; if the vehicle is on a downhill slope, execute S430.

[0099] S430, control the vehicle to start in first gear.

[0100] S440. When the vehicle is on an uphill or flat road, calculate the highest temperature of the clutch on the second drive shaft in the second gear starting state based on the current transmission fluid temperature and the slope of the road where the vehicle is located.

[0101] S450: Determine whether the highest temperature is greater than the second set temperature threshold; if yes, execute S430; if no, execute S460.

[0102] S460, control the vehicle to start in second gear.

[0103] S470. When the vehicle starts in second gear, calculate the maximum temperature of the clutch on the second drive shaft in the second gear starting state based on the current transmission fluid temperature and the slope of the road where the vehicle is located.

[0104] S480: Determine whether the highest temperature is greater than the second set temperature threshold.

[0105] When the highest temperature is greater than the second set temperature threshold, execute S490; when the highest temperature is less than or equal to the second set temperature threshold, execute S491.

[0106] S490: Control the vehicle to start in first gear until the vehicle reaches the speed threshold, thus completing the vehicle start control.

[0107] S491. Control the vehicle to start in second gear until the vehicle reaches the speed threshold, and complete the vehicle start control.

[0108] S492. When the vehicle starts in first gear, control the vehicle to continue starting in first gear until the vehicle reaches the speed threshold, thus completing the vehicle start control.

[0109] The technical solution provided in this embodiment of the invention states that if the vehicle uses a first-gear start mode, the first-gear start mode is maintained until the vehicle reaches the speed threshold, thus completing vehicle start control. If the vehicle uses a second-gear start mode and is starting in the forward direction, the maximum temperature of the clutch on the second drive shaft in the second-gear start state needs to be calculated based on the current transmission fluid temperature and the slope of the road where the vehicle is located. Further assessment is needed to determine if there is a risk of overheating in the clutch. If there is a risk of overheating, the gear on the first drive shaft is controlled to disengage reverse gear, engage first gear, and then downshift to first gear. If this downshifting operation has been performed, second-gear start will not be performed again in the current power-on cycle. If the vehicle uses a second-gear start mode and is starting in reverse gear, or if there is no risk of overheating in the clutch on the second drive shaft, the second-gear start mode is maintained until the vehicle reaches the speed threshold, thus completing vehicle start control.

[0130] S523. When the vehicle starts in second gear, calculate the maximum temperature of the clutch on the second drive shaft in the second gear starting state based on the current transmission fluid temperature and the slope of the road where the vehicle is located.

[0131] S524. Determine whether the highest temperature is greater than the second set temperature threshold.

[0132] When the highest temperature is greater than the second set temperature threshold, execute S525; when the highest temperature is less than or equal to the second set temperature threshold, execute S526.

[0133] S525: Control the vehicle to start in first gear until the vehicle reaches the speed threshold, thus completing the vehicle start control.

[0134] S526. Control the vehicle to start in second gear until the vehicle reaches the speed threshold, and complete the vehicle start control.

[0135] The technical solution provided by this invention determines whether the current oil temperature inside the transmission is lower than a first preset threshold. When the current oil temperature inside the transmission is lower than the first preset threshold, it determines whether the vehicle is in an uphill or flat-slope state. When the vehicle is in an uphill or flat-slope state, it calculates the maximum temperature of the clutch on the second drive shaft in second-gear start-up mode based on the current oil temperature inside the transmission and the slope of the slope where the vehicle is located. When the maximum temperature is higher than a second preset temperature threshold, it controls the vehicle to start in first gear; when the maximum temperature is less than or equal to the second preset temperature threshold, it controls the vehicle to start in second gear. This technical solution, by monitoring the current operating conditions and selecting the vehicle start-up mode based on the oil temperature and the slope of the vehicle, effectively shortens the vehicle start-up time in low-temperature conditions and identifies the risk of clutch overheating in advance, making the vehicle start-up process faster and more reliable.
