Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle driving technology, and in particular to a vehicle gear shifting method, device, vehicle, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] When an automatic transmission vehicle is climbing a hill and needs to shift up, the engine torque may momentarily fail to reach the set torque due to smoke restrictions and structural protection. This results in a slow torque response and insufficient power after upshifting, causing the transmission to downshift. After downshifting, the vehicle accelerates and then shifts up again when the power requirement is met. This cycle repeats, leading to a shifting problem in the automatic transmission vehicle.

[0003] Therefore, how to avoid the gear shifting cycle in a vehicle has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a vehicle shifting method, device, vehicle, and storage medium to avoid the problem of shifting cycles in vehicles and improve vehicle comfort and power.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a vehicle gear shifting method is provided, comprising:

[0006] When the vehicle is climbing a hill, the engine speed in the current gear is obtained, and the limiting torque characteristics under the corresponding speed condition are determined based on the engine speed in the current gear.

[0007] Based on the aforementioned limiting torque characteristics, determine whether the current vehicle meets the upshifting conditions. If the upshifting conditions are met, determine the force situation of the vehicle in the target gear.

[0008] The vehicle is shifted according to the force conditions described.

[0009] According to another aspect of the present invention, a vehicle gear shifting device is provided, comprising:

[0010] The limiting torque characteristic determination module is used to obtain the engine speed in the current gear when the vehicle is climbing a hill, and determine the limiting torque characteristic under the corresponding speed condition based on the engine speed in the current gear.

[0011] The force acquisition module is used to determine whether the current vehicle meets the upshifting conditions based on the restricted torque characteristics, and if the upshifting conditions are met, to determine the force on the vehicle in the target gear.

[0012] The shift module is used to control the vehicle's shifting based on the force conditions.

[0013] According to another aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle comprising:

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

For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such processes, methods, products or devices.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a vehicle gear shifting method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations involving controlling vehicle gear shifting. The method can be executed by a vehicle gear shifting device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in a vehicle. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0030] S110. When the vehicle is climbing a hill, obtain the engine speed in the current gear and determine the limiting torque characteristics under the corresponding speed condition based on the engine speed in the current gear.

[0031] One of the methods is to measure the engine speed using a speed sensor.

[0032] In this embodiment, the current gear can be the gear used by the car when climbing a hill.

[0033] In this embodiment, the limiting torque characteristic can be the engine torque determined based on engine limiting torque information, which may include, but is not limited to, smoke limitation and structural protection.

[0034] Among these features, the engine control unit can send engine-limiting torque information based on smoke opacity limits and other parameters in a customized manner.

[0035] For example, before determining the limiting torque characteristic under the corresponding speed condition based on the speed in the current gear, the process may further include: initializing the engine limiting torque characteristic curve; acquiring the engine limiting torque mode and torque under each speed condition broadcast by the transmitter control unit; and determining the engine limiting torque characteristic curve under the speed condition corresponding to the speed in each gear based on the engine limiting torque mode and torque.

[0036] The engine torque limiting characteristic curve can be a two-dimensional curve, where the horizontal axis can be the engine speed and the vertical axis can be the torque limit.

[0037] In this embodiment, initializing the engine limiting torque characteristic curve can be achieved by initializing the parameters of the engine limiting torque characteristic curve.

[0038] In this embodiment, in addition to obtaining the engine's torque limiting mode based on comprehensive calculation, it is also possible to obtain torque limiting modes caused by other external controls in a timely manner.

[0039] Specifically, the transmission control unit can initialize the engine's limiting torque characteristic curve.

[0040] In this embodiment, the engine torque limiting mode can be activated by the engine, and the engine control unit can broadcast the engine torque limiting mode and the torque set under the current operating conditions in a custom format.

[0041] In this embodiment, the transmission control unit can be a separate transmission control unit or a control unit with transmission control function integrated into other control units.

[0042] In this embodiment, the engine limiting torque characteristic curve under the speed conditions corresponding to the engine speed at each gear can be determined by the transmission control unit through self-learning of the engine limiting torque characteristics under each speed condition, based on the engine limiting torque mode and torque.

[0043] Specifically, the engine limit torque characteristic curve can be updated in real time based on the engine limit torque characteristics under the corresponding speed conditions at each gear.

[0044] S120. Based on the limiting torque characteristics, determine whether the current vehicle meets the upshifting conditions. If the upshifting conditions are met, determine the force situation of the vehicle in the target gear.

[0045] Since the vehicle's torque can be obtained based on the torque limitation characteristics, it is possible to determine whether the current vehicle meets the conditions for upshifting based on the torque.

[0046] For example, determining whether the current vehicle meets the upshift condition based on the torque limitation characteristics may include: obtaining the vehicle's negative torque, determining the current torque of the vehicle in the current gear based on the torque limitation characteristics, and determining whether the current vehicle meets the upshift condition based on the negative torque and the current torque.

[0047] In this embodiment, since each gear has a different shift point and speed ratio, the negative torque of the current vehicle can be calculated based on the shift point corresponding to the current gear. The negative torque of the vehicle is compared with the current torque of the vehicle. If the current torque of the vehicle can overcome the negative torque, the upshift condition is met and the vehicle can be upshifted. If the current torque of the vehicle cannot overcome the negative torque, the vehicle continues to drive in the current gear.

[0048] For example, when the upshifting conditions are met, obtaining the force situation of the vehicle in the target gear may include: determining the force situation of the vehicle in the target gear according to the limiting torque characteristic curve, wherein the force situation includes the clutch engagement point driving force, the downshifting point driving force and the vehicle resistance.

[0049] The target gear can be one gear higher than the current gear.

[0050] Among these features, the transmission control unit can make a preliminary judgment on the force situation of the vehicle in the target gear.

[0051] Specifically, the torque corresponding to the target gear can be found from the torque characteristic curve. The force situation of the vehicle in the target gear can be calculated based on the torque. The force situation can be the clutch engagement point driving force F1, the downshift point driving force F2, and the vehicle resistance f.

[0052] S130. Control the vehicle's gear shifting according to the force applied.

[0053] Depending on the force applied, the system can control whether to allow or prohibit gear shifting.

[0054] For example, shifting a vehicle based on force conditions may include comparing the vehicle resistance with the clutch engagement point driving force and the downshift point driving force, and shifting the vehicle based on the comparison results.

[0055] For example, comparing the vehicle resistance with the clutch engagement point driving force and the downshift point driving force respectively, and shifting the vehicle based on the comparison results may include: determining whether the clutch engagement point driving force is greater than the vehicle resistance; if so, determining whether the downshift point driving force is greater than the vehicle resistance; and prohibiting shifting the vehicle if the vehicle resistance is greater than the downshift point driving force.

[0056] In this embodiment, the transmission control unit can determine whether the driving force F1 at the clutch engagement point of the target gear is greater than or equal to the resistance f; if not, the process ends; if so, it determines whether the driving force at the downshift point is greater than the vehicle resistance. If the vehicle resistance is greater than the driving force at the downshift point, shifting is prohibited.

[0057] In this embodiment, by comparing the driving force at the downshift point and the vehicle resistance, it can be ensured that the vehicle achieves force balance before the downshift point, and the speed will not drop continuously to the downshift point speed, while also avoiding shifting cycles.

[0058] For example, preventing gear shifting may include: sending a prohibition signal to the vehicle's transmission, and prohibiting upshifting operations by the vehicle's transmission based on the prohibition signal.

[0059] In this embodiment, the transmission control unit can send a prohibition signal to the vehicle transmission. By prohibiting upshifting based on the prohibition signal, the transmission can avoid shifting cycles.

[0060] This invention, by determining the limiting torque characteristics under the corresponding speed condition based on the speed of the current gear, can control the vehicle's gear shifting if the torque response after shifting up is insufficient to overcome resistance, even when the vehicle meets the upshifting conditions. This avoids gear shifting cycles and improves vehicle comfort and power.

[0061] Example 2

[0062] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating another vehicle gear shifting method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment is a specific limitation of the above embodiments. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0063] S210, The transmission control unit initializes the engine limiting torque characteristics.

[0064] S220, Engine activates engine torque limiting mode, engine control unit broadcasts the current torque mode and set torque in a custom format.

[0065] S230, the transmission control unit learns the engine limiting torque characteristics under various speed conditions.

[0066] This invention, through the transmission control unit's self-learning of the engine's limiting torque characteristics under various speed conditions, can control the vehicle's gear shifting if the torque response after upshifting is insufficient to overcome resistance, even when the vehicle meets the upshifting conditions. This avoids the gear shifting cycle problem that occurs when automatic transmission vehicles are climbing hills, thereby improving vehicle comfort and power.

[0067] Example 3

[0068] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating another vehicle gear shifting method provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. This embodiment is a specific limitation of the above embodiments. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0069] S310. When the vehicle is in the current gear, determine whether the conditions for shifting up are met based on the current operating conditions.

[0070] S320. When the upshifting conditions are met, the transmission control unit pre-determines the force situation of the vehicle in the target gear and determines the driving force F1 at the clutch engagement point, the driving force F2 at the downshift point, and the vehicle resistance f in the target gear based on the engine's limiting torque characteristics.

[0071] S330: Determine whether the driving force F1 at the clutch engagement point of the target gear is greater than or equal to the vehicle resistance f of the target gear. If yes, execute S360; otherwise, execute S340.

[0072] S340: Determine whether the driving force F2 at the downshift point is greater than the vehicle resistance f at the target gear. If yes, execute S360; otherwise, execute S350.

[0073] S350, the transmission control unit outputs a signal prohibiting upshifting.

[0074] S360, process complete.

[0075] This invention allows for gear shifting control when the vehicle meets the upshifting conditions but the torque response after upshifting is insufficient to overcome resistance. This avoids the gear shifting cycle problem in automatic transmission vehicles when climbing hills, thereby improving vehicle comfort and power.

[0079] The force acquisition module 420 is used to determine whether the current vehicle meets the upshifting conditions based on the restricted torque characteristics, and if the upshifting conditions are met, to determine the force on the vehicle in the target gear.

[0080] The shift module 430 is used to control the shifting of the vehicle according to the force conditions.
