[0062] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0063] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0064] The flowchart shown in the attached diagram is for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily include all content and operations / steps, nor does it necessarily have to be performed in the order described. For example, some operations / steps can be broken down, combined, or partially merged, so the actual execution order may change depending on the actual situation.

[0065] This application provides a method, apparatus, and device for diagnosing abnormal spindle speed fluctuations in an AMT (Automated Guided Vehicle) system. The method for diagnosing abnormal spindle speed fluctuations can be applied to computer equipment, such as vehicle controllers or onboard computers.

[0066] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a diagnostic method for abnormal spindle speed fluctuation faults in an AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) system, as provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0068] like Figure 1 As shown, the overall idea of ​​this method includes steps S1 to S2.

[0069] Step S1: Diagnose whether the AMT spindle has an abnormal speed fluctuation fault based on the difference between the maximum and minimum speed values ​​of the AMT spindle within a preset time period.

[0070] Step S2: After diagnosing the abnormal speed fluctuation fault of the AMT spindle, calculate the theoretical speed of the AMT spindle based on the speed of the AMT intermediate shaft or the speed of the AMT output shaft, and use the theoretical speed of the AMT spindle as the logic input of the AMT.

[0071] In a preferred embodiment, before diagnosing whether the AMT spindle has a speed fault based on the difference between the maximum and minimum speed values ​​of the AMT spindle within a preset time period, the method further includes: determining whether the current vehicle condition meets preset fault diagnosis conditions; if the current vehicle condition meets the fault diagnosis conditions, then initiating the AMT spindle speed abnormal fluctuation fault diagnosis operation; if the current vehicle condition does not meet the fault diagnosis conditions, then not performing the AMT spindle speed abnormal fluctuation fault diagnosis operation.

[0072] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the AMT main shaft speed is read in real time using an AMT main shaft speed sensor.

[0073] Exemplary, such as Figure 2 As shown, after the vehicle is powered on, the AMT spindle speed sensor monitors the AMT spindle speed in real time and simultaneously determines whether the vehicle's current condition meets six preset basic fault diagnosis conditions. These six basic conditions include: determining whether the automatic transmission control system (TCU) is in the initialization process; determining whether the AMT spindle speed sensor has an electrical fault; determining whether the engine is running; determining whether the vehicle speed is greater than a preset speed threshold; determining whether the brake pedal release time is greater than a preset duration calibration value; and determining whether the AMT is in a non-shifting state. When the vehicle's automatic transmission control system (TCU) is not in the initialization state, the AMT spindle speed sensor has no electrical fault, the engine is running, the vehicle speed is greater than the preset speed threshold, the brake pedal release time is greater than the preset duration calibration value, and the AMT is in a non-shifting state, the vehicle's current condition is determined to meet the aforementioned fault diagnosis conditions.

[0074] Preferably, when an electrical fault is detected in the AMT spindle speed sensor, the corresponding fault can be displayed on the vehicle's instrument panel to remind the driver to troubleshoot the electrical fault. Furthermore, detecting electrical faults in the AMT spindle speed sensor can prevent misdiagnosis of abnormal fluctuations in AMT spindle speed caused by a faulty AMT spindle speed sensor.

[0075] It is worth noting that during vehicle startup, braking, and idling, the AMT spindle speed may exhibit various special operating conditions, such as sudden decreases or increases in speed. These values ​​cannot be used as diagnostic data for AMT spindle speed abnormal fluctuation faults. Therefore, in this embodiment, the AMT spindle speed abnormal fluctuation fault diagnosis operation is activated after the vehicle condition meets the aforementioned fault diagnosis conditions. This ensures that scenarios with special speeds in the AMT spindle during vehicle startup and braking are not included in the AMT spindle speed abnormal fluctuation fault diagnosis, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of the AMT spindle speed abnormal fluctuation fault diagnosis.

[0076] In some embodiments, diagnosing whether the AMT spindle has an abnormal speed fluctuation fault based on the difference between the maximum and minimum speed values ​​of the AMT spindle within a preset time period includes: calculating the difference between the maximum and minimum speed values ​​of the AMT spindle within a period of the preset time period; if the difference is greater than a preset first difference threshold for M consecutive periods, then diagnosing that the AMT spindle has an abnormal speed fluctuation fault.

[0077] Preferably, after diagnosing an abnormal speed fluctuation fault in the AMT spindle, a fault alert is issued via the vehicle's instrument panel. Specifically, this alert can be displayed on the instrument panel screen or via audio prompts.

[0078] For example, after the current vehicle condition meets the preset fault diagnosis conditions, the difference Nd between the maximum and minimum spindle speed within the preset time period is calculated. If Nd is greater than the calibrated first difference threshold Nmax and occurs continuously for more than X1 cycles, it is determined that there is an abnormal fluctuation fault in the spindle speed. The fault is displayed on the instrument panel to remind the driver to deal with it in time.

[0079] Furthermore, after determining that the AMT spindle has an abnormal speed fluctuation fault, if the difference is less than a preset second difference threshold for N consecutive cycles, then it is determined that the abnormal speed fluctuation fault of the AMT spindle has disappeared; wherein, the first difference threshold is greater than the second difference threshold.

[0080] For example, after diagnosing an abnormal speed fluctuation fault in the AMT spindle, if the difference in AMT spindle speed Nd over the next X2 cycles is less than the calibrated second difference threshold Nmin, it is determined that the abnormal spindle speed fluctuation fault has been eliminated, and the instrument will no longer display the relevant fault.

[0081] Furthermore, after diagnosing the abnormal speed fluctuation fault of the AMT spindle, it is determined whether the AMT main gearbox is in neutral and whether the AMT intermediate shaft speed sensor is faulty. If the AMT main gearbox is not in neutral and the AMT intermediate shaft speed sensor is not faulty, the theoretical speed of the AMT spindle is calculated based on the gear position of the AMT main gearbox and the AMT intermediate shaft speed monitored by the AMT intermediate shaft speed sensor. If the AMT main gearbox is in neutral or the AMT intermediate shaft speed sensor is faulty, the theoretical speed of the AMT spindle is calculated based on the gear position of the AMT rear auxiliary gearbox and the AMT output shaft speed.

[0082] In some embodiments, the theoretical rotational speed of the AMT spindle is calculated based on the gear position of the AMT main gearbox and the rotational speed of the AMT intermediate shaft monitored by the AMT intermediate shaft speed sensor, including: determining the speed ratio of the AMT main gearbox by looking up the gear position of the AMT main gearbox; and dividing the rotational speed of the AMT intermediate shaft by the speed ratio of the AMT main gearbox to obtain the theoretical rotational speed of the AMT spindle.

[0083] Explanatoryly, determining whether the AMT main gearbox is in neutral is because when the AMT main gearbox is in neutral, the AMT intermediate shaft and the AMT main shaft are not coupled, therefore the theoretical speed of the AMT main shaft cannot be calculated from the speed of the AMT intermediate shaft. When the AMT main gearbox is not in neutral but in gear, the AMT intermediate shaft and the AMT main shaft are coupled, and the theoretical speed of the AMT main shaft can be calculated from the speed of the AMT intermediate shaft.

[0084] Furthermore, after diagnosing the abnormal speed fluctuation fault of the AMT spindle, this embodiment determines whether the AMT intermediate shaft speed sensor is faulty, which can ensure the accuracy of the obtained AMT intermediate shaft speed value, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the calculated theoretical speed.

[0085] As an example, after diagnosing an abnormal fluctuation in AMT spindle speed, the current gear position of the AMT master gearbox is monitored. If the AMT master gearbox is not in neutral, the AMT intermediate shaft speed sensor is further monitored for faults. If no faults are found, the current AMT master gearbox gear is queried. Based on the AMT master gearbox gear, the vehicle's preset gear ratio mapping table is consulted to obtain the AMT master gearbox gear ratio. Then, based on the AMT intermediate shaft speed and the master gearbox gear ratio, the theoretical value of the AMT spindle speed is calculated, i.e., AMT spindle speed = AMT intermediate shaft speed / AMT master gearbox gear ratio.

[0086] In some embodiments, the theoretical speed of the AMT main shaft is calculated based on the gear position of the AMT rear auxiliary gearbox and the AMT output shaft speed, including: determining the speed ratio of the AMT rear auxiliary gearbox by looking up the gear position of the AMT rear auxiliary gearbox in a table; and multiplying the speed ratio of the AMT rear auxiliary gearbox by the AMT output shaft speed to obtain the theoretical speed of the AMT main shaft.

[0087] As an example, when the AMT main gearbox is in neutral or the current AMT intermediate shaft speed sensor is faulty, the current AMT rear auxiliary gearbox status is monitored. Based on the AMT rear auxiliary gearbox gear position, a preset mapping table of AMT rear auxiliary gearbox gear positions and speed ratios is consulted to obtain the AMT rear auxiliary gearbox gear ratio. Then, based on the AMT output shaft speed and the AMT rear auxiliary gearbox gear ratio, the theoretical value of the AMT main shaft speed is calculated, i.e., AMT main shaft speed = AMT output shaft speed * AMT rear auxiliary gearbox gear ratio.

[0088] It is worth noting that when an abnormal fluctuation in AMT spindle speed is diagnosed, the theoretical value of the AMT spindle speed calculated above is used instead of the actual AMT spindle speed as the input to the subsequent transmission control logic. This ensures that the vehicle can still operate normally after the abnormal fluctuation in AMT spindle speed occurs. If the abnormal fluctuation in AMT spindle speed is eliminated, the actual signal value from the spindle speed sensor is used.

[0089] Furthermore, the diagnostic method for abnormal AMT spindle speed fluctuation faults provided in this embodiment can also be extended to the abnormal processing of other speed signals of the gearbox, such as intermediate shaft and output shaft.

[0090] In one specific embodiment, this method is applied to a 12-speed AMT vehicle. When the TCU is not in the initialization process, the AMT spindle speed sensor has no electrical fault, the engine is running, the vehicle speed is greater than 10 km / h, the brake pedal release time exceeds 1000 ms, and the transmission is currently in a non-shifting state, the maximum difference in spindle speed within a 100 ms period is calculated. If the difference is greater than 150 rpm and occurs three times consecutively, an abnormal spindle speed fluctuation fault is reported on the instrument panel to remind the driver to handle it promptly. After the fault occurs, if the maximum difference calculated in subsequent time periods is less than 20 rpm and occurs three times consecutively, it is determined that the abnormal spindle speed fault has been eliminated, and the instrument panel no longer displays the related fault.

[0091] After diagnosing an abnormal fluctuation in AMT main shaft speed, the current AMT master gear is checked. If the master gear is not in neutral and the AMT intermediate shaft speed sensor is functioning correctly, the theoretical AMT main shaft speed is calculated using the intermediate shaft speed and the master gear ratio. If the master gear is in neutral or the intermediate shaft speed sensor is faulty, the theoretical AMT main shaft speed is calculated using the AMT output shaft speed and the rear auxiliary gear ratio. When an abnormal fluctuation in AMT main shaft speed is reported, the theoretical speed of the AMT main shaft is used instead of the actual speed as input to the subsequent transmission control logic. If the fault is resolved, the actual signal value from the main shaft speed sensor is used. Vehicle configuration is then performed accordingly.

[0092] This application provides a diagnostic method for abnormal speed fluctuation faults of AMT spindles. Its advantages lie in that it diagnoses the presence of abnormal speed fluctuation faults in the AMT spindle by calculating the difference between the maximum and minimum speed values ​​of the AMT spindle within a preset time period, thus achieving accurate judgment of abnormal speed fluctuations in the AMT spindle. After diagnosing the presence of abnormal speed fluctuation faults in the AMT spindle, it calculates the theoretical speed of the AMT spindle based on the gear position of the AMT main gearbox or the AMT auxiliary gearbox, and uses the theoretical speed of the AMT spindle as the logic input of the AMT. This ensures that the vehicle can still operate normally after the AMT spindle experiences abnormal speed fluctuation faults, effectively avoiding vehicle operation losses caused by AMT spindle speed fluctuation faults.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic block diagram of a diagnostic device for abnormal fluctuations in the spindle speed of an AMT (Automated Manual Transmission Machine) provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0094] like Figure 4 As shown, the device includes:

[0106] If the AMT main gearbox is in neutral or the AMT intermediate shaft speed sensor is faulty, the theoretical speed of the AMT main shaft is calculated based on the gear position of the AMT rear auxiliary gearbox and the AMT output shaft speed.

[0107] The calculation module is further used for:

[0108] The speed ratio of the AMT main gearbox is determined by referring to a table based on the gear positions of the AMT main gearbox;

[0115] If the current vehicle condition meets the above fault diagnosis conditions, then start the AMT spindle speed abnormal fluctuation fault diagnosis operation.

[0116] If the current vehicle condition does not meet the fault diagnosis conditions, the fault diagnosis operation for abnormal fluctuation of AMT spindle speed will not be performed.

[0117] Specifically, when the vehicle's automatic transmission control system TCU is not in the initialization state, the AMT spindle speed sensor has no electrical fault, the engine is in the start state, the vehicle speed is greater than the preset vehicle speed threshold, the brake pedal release time is greater than the preset time calibration value, and the AMT is in the non-shifting state, the current vehicle condition is determined to meet the fault diagnosis conditions.
