DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail hereinbelow with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise represented. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all the embodiments consistent with the application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0051] The technical solutions of the application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes can not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of the application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] In order to clearly understand the technical solutions of the present application, the prior art solutions will be described in detail first. At present, manual transmission occupies the vast majority in the commercial vehicle market, and the proportion of AMT is very small, so AMT has great development prospects. In order to ensure that the vehicle equipped with AMT can start and shift smoothly, and to ensure the comfort and reliability of AMT, the electronic control unit of AMT needs to know the real-time clutch slip point and the braking gradient of the intermediate shaft brake, so as to control. In the prior art, the braking gradient of the intermediate shaft brake is fixed, which cannot ensure that the vehicle maintains a smooth state during AMT control.

[0053] Therefore, in order to solve the problem that AMT control cannot be maintained smoothly during vehicle operation in the prior art, the inventors found in research that, in order to solve the problem, it is first determined whether the vehicle meets the AMT adaptive control condition, and when the AMT adaptive control condition is met, the braking gradient of the intermediate shaft brake and the slip point position of the clutch are learned in real time to ensure the accuracy of the braking gradient of the intermediate shaft brake and the slip point position of the clutch, so that the AMT shifting and starting work are smoother, and the service life of the intermediate shaft brake and the clutch is increased.

[0054] Based on the above-mentioned creative findings, the inventors put forward the technical solutions of the present application.

[0055] The embodiments of the application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] Figure 1 The flowchart of the AMT control method of the vehicle provided by the present application is shown in Figure 1 The execution subject of the embodiment of the present application is the electronic control unit of the AMT, and the AMT control method of the vehicle provided by the embodiment includes the following steps:

[0057] S10: When it is detected that the vehicle is in the idle state of the engine, obtain a plurality of operating parameters of the vehicle.

[0058] The idle state refers to the state in which the engine operates at the lowest stable speed in the no-load state. When the accelerator pedal is completely released, the engine is in the idle state.

[0059] Specifically, before obtaining a plurality of operating parameters of the vehicle when it is detected that the vehicle is in the idle state of the engine, it further includes judging whether the gear of the AMT is in neutral and the clutch is fully engaged during the operation of the vehicle. If the gear of the AMT is in neutral and the clutch is fully engaged, send an instruction to the electronic control unit of the engine to control the electronic control unit of the engine to maintain the idle state of the engine.

[0060] Specifically, when the vehicle meets certain conditions during normal driving, such as the accelerator pedal opening degree is 0, and the driver does not step on the brake and the speed and slope are within a certain threshold range, the electronic control unit of the AMT controls the AMT to enter the neutral sliding, that is, the AMT returns to neutral and the clutch is fully engaged, and then the electronic control unit of the AMT limits the torque to 0% by limiting the mode of the engine, the engine maintains the idle state, and the speed of the engine is the same as the speed of the input shaft of the AMT.

[0061] In addition, in addition to the AMT adaptive control process during the neutral sliding in the driving process, when the vehicle is decelerated and parked to 0, if the driver manually returns to neutral, when the AMT adaptive control condition is met, the electronic control unit of the AMT limits the speed to 750 rpm by limiting the mode of the engine, and the AMT adaptive control process can also be entered.

[0062] S20: According to the plurality of operating parameters, judge whether the vehicle meets the AMT adaptive control condition.

[0063] The plurality of operating parameters include the speed of the engine of the vehicle, the speed of the input shaft of the AMT, the first recorded information of the automatic gradient of the intermediate shaft brake of the AMT, the second recorded information of the latest sliding point position of the clutch, and the temperature of the oil of the AMT and the temperature of the clutch. Specifically, the process of determining that the vehicle meets the AMT adaptive control condition includes the following several ways:

[0064] The first way: if the engine speed and the input shaft speed of the AMT are both reduced to idle speed, and the time of maintaining the idle speed exceeds the second preset time length, and the brake gradient of the intermediate shaft brake of the AMT is not recorded in the first record information, it is determined that the vehicle meets the AMT adaptive control condition.

[0065] The second way: if the engine speed and the input shaft speed of the AMT are both reduced to idle speed, and the time of maintaining the idle speed exceeds the second preset time length, and the oil temperature of the AMT changes by more than the first preset threshold value compared with the oil temperature of the AMT when the vehicle last entered the AMT adaptive control process, it is determined that the vehicle meets the AMT adaptive control condition.

[0066] The third way: if the engine speed and the input shaft speed of the AMT are both reduced to idle speed, and the time of maintaining the idle speed exceeds the second preset time length, and the latest slip point position of the clutch is not recorded in the second record information, it is determined that the vehicle meets the AMT adaptive control condition.

[0067] The fourth way: if the engine speed and the input shaft speed of the AMT are both reduced to idle speed, and the time of maintaining the idle speed exceeds the second preset time length, and the temperature of the clutch changes by more than the second preset threshold value compared with the temperature of the clutch when the vehicle last entered the AMT adaptive control process, it is determined that the vehicle meets the AMT adaptive control condition.

[0068] S30: If it is determined that the vehicle meets the AMT adaptive control condition according to the multiple operating parameters, the AMT adaptive control process is entered to perform the following steps S301-S310.

[0069] S301: The clutch is quickly separated to a first target position, where the first target position is the recorded slip point position of the clutch plus a first preset margin.

[0070] The first preset margin is generally 15%-20%.

[0071] By driving the clutch to quickly separate to the position of the recorded slip point position of the clutch plus the first preset margin, the thorough separation of the clutch can be ensured.

[0072] S302: When the clutch is separated to the first target position, the intermediate shaft brake of the AMT is driven to start to quickly reduce the speed of the intermediate shaft of the AMT; and the first descending gradient of the speed reduction of the intermediate shaft of the AMT is recorded.

[0073] The first descending gradient is a negative value, and is generally the average value in a period of time.

[0074] Specifically, when the clutch is separated to the first target position, the electromagnetic valve of the intermediate shaft brake is started to drive, so that the speed of the intermediate shaft of the AMT is quickly reduced.

[0075] S303: When the rotational speed of the input shaft of the AMT is lower than the first rotational speed threshold, the clutch is slowly engaged to reduce the rotational speed of the input shaft of the AMT to 0.

[0076] The first rotational speed threshold can be 5 rpm, and the speed of the slow engagement of the clutch can be 2.5% of the clutch gradient per second.

[0077] Specifically, when the rotational speed of the input shaft of the AMT is lower than the first rotational speed threshold, the electronic control unit of the AMT drives the clutch to be slowly engaged at a fixed speed K1, and the rotational speed of the input shaft of the AMT is reduced to 0 during the slow engagement of the clutch.

[0078] S304: When the rotational speed of the input shaft of the AMT starts to increase from 0 and exceeds the second rotational speed threshold, the latest slip point position of the clutch is recorded, and the clutch is slowly engaged.

[0079] The second rotational speed threshold can be 5-10 rpm.

[0080] Specifically, when the rotational speed of the input shaft of the AMT starts to increase from 0 and exceeds the second rotational speed threshold, the electronic control unit of the AMT records the position of the point at which the clutch is engaged to start to transmit torque, and determines the position as the latest slip point position of the clutch, and drives the clutch to be engaged at a slower speed K2 during the engagement of the clutch, wherein the slower speed can be 1.6% of the clutch gradient per second.

[0081] S305: When the rotational speed of the input shaft of the AMT exceeds the third rotational speed threshold, the clutch is quickly engaged.

[0082] The third rotational speed threshold can be 300 rpm.

[0083] S306: When the rotational speed of the input shaft of the AMT is consistent with the rotational speed of the engine of the vehicle, the clutch is quickly disengaged to the second target position, wherein the second target position is the latest slip point position of the clutch plus a second preset allowance.

[0084] The second preset allowance is generally 5%-10%.

[0085] By driving the clutch to be quickly disengaged to the latest slip point position of the clutch plus the second preset allowance, the complete disengagement of the clutch can be ensured.

[0086] S307: When the clutch is disengaged to the second target position, the intermediate shaft brake of the AMT is driven to start to quickly reduce the rotational speed of the intermediate shaft of the AMT, and the second descending gradient of the rotational speed of the intermediate shaft of the AMT is recorded.

[0087] Specifically, when the clutch is separated to the second target position, an electromagnetic valve driving a brake of the intermediate shaft of the AMT is activated, so that the rotation speed of the intermediate shaft of the AMT is rapidly reduced, and a second descending gradient of the rotation speed of the intermediate shaft of the AMT is recorded.

[0088] S308: When the rotation speed of the input shaft of the AMT is lower than the first rotation speed threshold value, and the duration exceeds the first preset time length, the clutch is rapidly engaged.

[0089] The first rotation speed threshold value can be 5 rpm.

[0090] Specifically, when the rotation speed of the input shaft of the AMT is lower than the first rotation speed threshold value, and the duration exceeds the first preset time length, the clutch is rapidly engaged, and the rotation speed of the input shaft of the AMT is synchronized with the rotation speed of the engine.

[0091] S309: When the rotation speed of the input shaft of the AMT is consistent with the rotation speed of the engine of the vehicle, a braking gradient of the brake of the intermediate shaft of the AMT is determined according to the first descending gradient and the second descending gradient; and the braking gradient of the brake of the intermediate shaft of the AMT and the latest slip point position of the clutch are recorded.

[0092] Specifically, the step of determining the braking gradient of the brake of the intermediate shaft of the AMT comprises:

[0093] S3a: A first weight corresponding to the first descending gradient and a second weight corresponding to the second descending gradient are obtained.

[0094] The weight of the first descending gradient can be 0.5, and the weight of the second descending gradient can be 0.5.

[0095] S3b: The first descending gradient and the second descending gradient are weighted calculated according to the first weight and the second weight, so as to obtain the braking gradient of the brake of the intermediate shaft of the AMT.

[0096] Specifically, the braking gradient of the brake of the intermediate shaft of the AMT can be calculated according to the following formula.

[0097] K TB = 0.5 * K TB1 + 0.5 * K TB2

[0098] In the formula, K TB is the calculated braking gradient of the brake of the intermediate shaft of the AMT, K TB1 is the first descending gradient, and K TB2 is the second descending gradient.

[0099] S310: The work of the AMT is controlled according to the braking gradient of the brake of the intermediate shaft of the AMT and the latest slip point position of the clutch.

[0100] Specifically, the electronic control unit of the AMT saves the automatic gradient of the intermediate shaft brake of the AMT and the latest slip point position of the clutch while exiting the AMT adaptive control process.

[0101] The AMT control method provided by the embodiment of the application comprises the following steps: when it is determined that the vehicle meets the AMT adaptive control condition, the driving clutch is quickly separated to a first target position, then the intermediate shaft brake is started to quickly reduce the intermediate shaft speed, and the first reduction gradient of the intermediate shaft speed is recorded; when the input shaft speed is lower than a first speed threshold, the driving clutch is slowly engaged; when the input shaft speed starts to increase and exceeds a second speed threshold, the latest slip point position of the clutch is recorded; when the input shaft speed exceeds a third speed threshold, the driving clutch is quickly engaged; when the input shaft speed is consistent with the engine speed, the driving clutch is quickly separated to a second target position, then the intermediate shaft brake is started again to quickly reduce the intermediate shaft speed to generate a second reduction gradient; and the braking gradient of the intermediate shaft brake of the AMT is determined according to the first reduction gradient and the second reduction gradient. The braking gradient of the intermediate shaft brake and the slip point position of the clutch are learned in real time, so as to ensure the accuracy of the braking gradient of the intermediate shaft brake and the slip point position of the clutch, thereby making the AMT control work more smoothly, and increasing the service life of the intermediate shaft brake and the clutch.

[0102] After the above embodiment enters the AMT adaptive control process, the following steps are further included:

[0103] If it is detected that the brake pedal angle of the vehicle changes or the throttle opening exceeds a preset opening value, the AMT adaptive control process is exited.

[0104] Specifically, when the condition of the no-load sliding is not met in the AMT adaptive control process, for example, when the driver steps on the brake or the throttle opening exceeds a certain threshold, the AMT adaptive control process is exited, and the normal gear shifting process is entered.

[0105] By exiting the AMT adaptive control process as soon as it is detected that the vehicle does not meet the condition of the no-load sliding, the flexibility of the AMT adaptive control process is improved, the key operation is not needed, and the normal operation of the vehicle is not affected.
