Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobiles, and particularly to a shifting control method, device, TCU device and storage medium for a commercial vehicle. Background Art

[0002] From the perspective of user use, there are many vehicle power take-off models and application working conditions for commercial vehicles such as special vehicles and trucks. Vehicle power take-off is generally divided into two power take-off methods: parking power take-off and driving power take-off. Parking power take-off means that the vehicle performs power take-off operations in a stationary state, such as the lifting of the cargo box in a static state. Driving power take-off means that the vehicle first engages the power take-off in a stationary state and then starts to drive, and continuously performs power take-off operations during driving, such as a sprinkler truck. The power take-off method of a commercial vehicle equipped with an AMT transmission is similar to the above.

[0003] In the existing driving power take-off, shifting cannot be performed during the driving power take-off process. If shifting is required, the vehicle needs to be stopped first, the power take-off is disconnected, then shifted to a new gear, the power take-off is engaged, and then the vehicle starts to drive to achieve power take-off during the driving process.

[0004] In summary, the existing shifting process of commercial vehicles is relatively troublesome and inconvenient to operate. Summary of the Invention

[0017] In a possible implementation manner, determining that the vehicle has a shifting request includes:

[0018] When it is determined that a request signal for manual intervention in shifting is received or the shifting point calculated autonomously by the AMT meets the preset shifting point requirements, it is determined that the vehicle has a shifting request.

[0022] Controlling the solenoid valve of the power take-off clutch to supply air to the chamber of the power take-off clutch to engage the power take-off clutch.

[0023] In a possible implementation manner, controlling the AMT clutch to engage includes:

[0024] Controlling the AMT clutch to engage at a target rate;

[0025] Wherein, the target speed is lower than the normal engagement rate of the clutch.

[0026] On the other hand, the present invention further provides a shifting control device for a commercial vehicle, including:

[0027] A torque adjustment module, configured to control the engine to reduce the torque to zero when it is determined that the vehicle has a shifting request and the vehicle meets the shifting condition;

[0028] A first separation module, configured to control the AMT clutch to disengage when the engine torque drops to zero or within a first preset period before the engine torque drops to zero;

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0045] In the embodiments of the present invention, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, device, product or equipment including a series of steps or modules does not necessarily limit to those clearly listed steps or modules, but may include other steps or modules not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or equipment.

[0047] References to "embodiments" in this specification mean that particular features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with the embodiments can be included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The phrase appears in various places in the specification and does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive of other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand explicitly and implicitly that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0048] The present invention provides a shift control method, device, TCU (Transmission Control Unit) device for a commercial vehicle, and a storage medium, which will be described separately below.

[0049] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a shift control method for a commercial vehicle, including:

[0050] S101. When it is determined that the vehicle has a shift request and the vehicle meets the shift condition, control the engine to reduce the torque to zero;

[0051] S102. When the engine torque drops to zero, or within a first preset period before the engine torque drops to zero, control the AMT (Automated Mechanical Transmission) clutch to disengage;

[0052] S103. Within a second preset period before the AMT clutch disengages, control the power take-off clutch to disengage;

[0053] S104. After the power take-off clutch disengages, control the transmission to shift gears;

[0054] S105. After the transmission completes shifting gears, control the power take-off clutch to engage;

[0055] S106. After the power take-off clutch engages, control the AMT clutch to engage and control the engine to resume to the target torque.

[0056] It can be understood that the method provided by the present invention can be executed based on the TCU. The AMT clutch is the clutch of the AMT, and the power take-off clutch is the clutch of the power take-off. The method provided by the present invention performs subsequent shift operations only when the vehicle has a shift requirement and meets the shift condition.

[0057] The method provided by the present invention mainly includes the following steps:

[0058] 1. Determine whether there is a shift request;

[0059] 2. Determine whether the shift condition is met;

[0060] 3. Engine torque reduction;

[0061] 4. The AMT clutch disengages;

[0062] 5. The power take-off clutch disengages;

[0063] 6. The transmission gears are shifted;

[0064] 7. The power take-off clutch engages;

[0065] 8. The AMT clutch engages.

[0066] When the engine torque drops to zero, or within a first preset time period before the engine torque drops to zero, control the AMT clutch to disengage, that is, when the engine torque drops to zero, or when the engine torque is about to drop to zero, control the AMT clutch to disengage.

[0067] Within a second preset time period before the AMT clutch disengages, control the power take-off clutch to disengage, that is, when the AMT clutch is about to disengage, the TCU needs to discharge the air pressure in the power take-off clutch cavity through the power take-off clutch solenoid valve to disengage the clutch.

[0068] In some embodiments, determining that the vehicle meets the shifting condition includes:

[0069] When it is determined that the operating condition of the power take-off meets the preset requirements, it is determined that the vehicle meets the shifting condition.

[0070] Further, when it is determined that the operating condition of the power take-off meets the preset requirements, determining that the vehicle meets the shifting condition includes:

[0071] When it is determined that the air pressure signal in the power take-off clutch cavity, the solenoid valve signal, and the power take-off output shaft speed signal meet the preset requirements, it is determined that the vehicle meets the shifting condition.

[0072] It can be understood that to determine whether the shifting condition is met: if there is a shifting request, based on the operating condition of the power take-off, the TCU needs to determine whether the air pressure in the power take-off clutch cavity, the solenoid valve, and the power take-off output shaft speed signal are normal, etc. If the relevant signals are normal, the normal shifting logic can be executed.

[0073] In some embodiments, determining that the vehicle has a shifting request includes:

[0074] When it is determined that a request signal for manual intervention shifting is received or the shifting point calculated by the AMT autonomously meets the preset shifting point requirements, it is determined that the vehicle has a shifting request.

[0075] It can be understood that to determine whether there is a gear shifting request: the gear shifting request is determined according to the user's manual intervention request or the gear shifting point independently calculated by the AMT.

[0076] In some embodiments, controlling the power take-off clutch to disengage includes:

[0077] Controlling the solenoid valve of the power take-off clutch to discharge the air pressure in the cavity of the power take-off clutch, so as to disengage the power take-off clutch.

[0078] It can be understood that when the power take-off clutch disengages: due to the relatively slow response time of the air circuit, when the AMT clutch is about to disengage, the TCU needs to discharge the air pressure in the cavity of the power take-off clutch through the solenoid valve of the power take-off clutch to disengage the clutch, so as to shorten the gear shifting time, reduce the power loss caused by the interruption and connection of the power take-off, ensure the power performance during gear shifting, and prevent gear shifting failure.

[0079] In some embodiments, controlling the power take-off clutch to engage includes:

[0080] Controlling the solenoid valve of the power take-off clutch to supply air to the cavity of the power take-off clutch, so as to engage the power take-off clutch.

[0081] It can be understood that when the power take-off clutch engages: the TCU connects the solenoid valve of the power take-off clutch to supply air to the cavity of the power take-off clutch, and the clutch will engage and resume power take-off.

[0082] In some embodiments, controlling the AMT clutch to engage includes:

[0083] Controlling the AMT clutch to engage at a target rate;

[0084] Wherein, the target speed is lower than the normal engagement rate of the clutch.

[0085] It can be understood that when the AMT clutch engages and the engine torque is restored: the AMT clutch engages the clutch according to a certain engagement slope, and the engagement process needs to be slower than the normal clutch engagement, so as to still be able to engage smoothly after adding the clutch power take-off at the load end, and at the same time the engine gradually restores the torque to the user-requested torque.

[0086] In some embodiments, the present invention provides a gear shifting control method for a commercial vehicle, as Figure 2 shown, and its implementation steps are as follows:

[0087] Determine whether there is a gear shifting request: determine the gear shifting request according to the user's manual intervention request or the gear shifting point independently calculated by the AMT;

[0088] Determine whether the shifting conditions are met: If there is a shifting request, based on the operating conditions of the power take-off, the TCU needs to determine conditions such as the air pressure in the clutch chamber of the power take-off, the solenoid valve, and the rotational speed signal of the output shaft of the power take-off to be normal. If the relevant signals are normal, the normal shifting logic can be executed;

[0089] Engine torque reduction: According to the TCU request, the engine reduces torque according to the slope formulated by the TCU until the torque drops to 0;

[0090] The AMT clutch is disengaged: When the engine has completed or is about to complete torque reduction, the TCU can execute the action of disengaging the AMT clutch to disconnect the engine power source;

[0091] The power take-off clutch is disengaged: Due to the relatively slow response time of the air circuit, when the AMT clutch is about to disengage, the TCU needs to discharge the air pressure in the clutch chamber of the power take-off through the solenoid valve of the power take-off clutch to disengage the clutch, so as to shorten the shifting time, reduce the power loss caused by the interruption and connection of the power take-off, ensure the shifting power performance, and prevent shifting failure;

[0092] The gearbox is shifted: The TCU executes the normal gear shifting and gear engagement operations of the gearbox;

[0093] The power take-off clutch is engaged: The TCU connects the solenoid valve of the power take-off clutch to supply air to the clutch chamber of the power take-off, and the clutch will be engaged to resume power take-off;

[0094] The AMT clutch is engaged and the engine torque is restored: The AMT clutch engages the clutch according to a certain engagement slope. The engagement process needs to be slower than the normal clutch engagement so that it can still engage smoothly after adding the clutch power take-off at the load end. At the same time, the engine gradually restores the torque to the user-requested torque.

[0095] In summary, the shifting control method for commercial vehicles provided by the present invention includes: when it is determined that the vehicle has a shifting request and the vehicle meets the shifting conditions, controlling the engine to reduce the torque to zero; when the engine torque drops to zero, or within a first preset time period before the engine torque drops to zero, controlling the AMT clutch to disengage; within a second preset time period before the AMT clutch disengages, controlling the power take-off clutch to disengage; after the power take-off clutch disengages, controlling the gearbox to engage; after the gearbox completes gear engagement, controlling the power take-off clutch to engage; after the power take-off clutch engages, controlling the AMT clutch to engage and controlling the engine to restore to the target torque.

[0096] The shift control method for commercial vehicles provided by the present invention, when it is determined that the vehicle has a shift request and the vehicle meets the shift conditions, first controls the engine to reduce the torque to zero, then controls the AMT clutch to disengage to disconnect the engine power source, and then the power take-off clutch disengages. Due to the relatively slow response time of the air circuit, when the AMT clutch is about to disengage, it is necessary to discharge the air pressure in the power take-off clutch chamber through the power take-off clutch solenoid valve to disengage the clutch, so as to shorten the shift time, reduce the power loss caused by the interruption and connection of the power take-off, ensure the shift power performance, and prevent shift failure; then, perform gear shifting of the transmission and engage the power take-off clutch, and finally engage the AMT clutch and restore the engine torque to complete the shift operation of the commercial vehicle. The shift control method provided by the present invention can first control the engine to reduce the torque to zero, then control the AMT clutch to disengage and then perform engine shifting, without stopping the vehicle, and without disconnecting the power take-off before shifting and engaging the power take-off, so as to solve the technical problems of troublesome shift process and inconvenient operation of commercial vehicles.
