[0035] The above-mentioned oil pump may refer to a device for transmitting lubricating oil and coolant in a hybrid transmission.

[0037] The above-mentioned transmission oil circuit may refer to a transmission oil flow circuit composed of a transmission oil pan, an oil pump and a pressure relief valve. The transmission oil may flow from the transmission oil pan through the oil pump, then through the pressure relief valve, and finally return to the transmission oil pan to form a transmission oil flow circuit. The specific transmission oil circuit may also be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, driving condition information of the hybrid vehicle can be obtained during the driving of the hybrid vehicle. A transmission oil pan, an oil pump and a pressure relief valve are installed in the hybrid transmission. The oil pump circulates the transmission oil to various components and keeps the oil pressure stable. The pressure relief valve is used to adjust the oil pressure to ensure the normal operation of the transmission. When the transmission is working, the transmission oil will flow to various components for lubrication and cooling, and will also take away the heat generated by the friction of the components. Specifically, the driving condition information of the hybrid vehicle can be obtained, and the working state of the hybrid transmission can be monitored by sensors, which may include parameters such as the speed, oil temperature, and oil pressure of the transmission. Through the above steps, it is possible to obtain the driving condition information of the hybrid vehicle during the driving of the hybrid vehicle, thereby providing data support for the subsequent control of the operating state of the oil pump in the hybrid transmission.

Based on the collected driving condition information, the system can analyze and evaluate whether the necessary conditions for executing the flushing step are met and the degree of blockage of the pressure relief valve to determine whether a flushing operation is required. Based on the results of the analysis, the running state of the oil pump can be controlled to flush the pressure relief valve by adjusting the flow state of the transmission oil in the transmission oil circuit. The oil pump controls the flow state of the transmission oil to flush the flowing transmission oil through the pressure relief valve, removes impurities and blockages in the pressure relief valve, and ensures the normal operation of the pressure relief valve. After the flushing operation is completed, the system can also re-detect the blockage degree of the pressure relief valve through the sensor and control unit to ensure that the blockage degree of the pressure relief valve after flushing is less than the blockage degree before flushing. Through the above steps, the pressure relief valve can be flushed in time according to the vehicle's driving condition information to ensure the normal operation of the pressure relief valve and improve the performance and life of the transmission. Feedback and adjustments can also be made based on the flushing results to achieve effective management and maintenance of the pressure relief valve.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present invention, a method for flushing a hybrid transmission valve body is provided, comprising: obtaining driving condition information of the hybrid vehicle during driving of the hybrid vehicle, wherein the hybrid vehicle includes at least a hybrid transmission, and the hybrid transmission includes at least a transmission oil circuit consisting of a transmission oil pan, an oil pump and a pressure relief valve; controlling the operating state of the oil pump based on the driving condition information to flush the pressure relief valve and obtain a flushing result, wherein the oil pump flushes the pressure relief valve by controlling the flow state of the transmission oil in the transmission oil circuit, and the flushing result is used to indicate that the blockage degree of the pressure relief valve is less than the blockage degree of the pressure relief valve before flushing. It is easy to notice that the present application proposes that the operating state of the oil pump in the transmission can be controlled based on the driving condition information of the hybrid vehicle to flush the pressure relief valve. This can be performed during normal driving of the vehicle, and there is no need to provide an additional flushing device in the hybrid transmission. The oil pump controls the flow state of the transmission oil in the transmission oil circuit to flush the pressure relief valve, thereby removing impurities and dirt in the pressure relief valve and maintaining the normal working state of the pressure relief valve. This can effectively ensure the normal operation of the hybrid transmission, extend the service life of the pressure relief valve and the hybrid transmission, and improve the overall performance and reliability of the hybrid vehicle, thereby solving the technical problem of low efficiency in flushing the valve body in the hybrid transmission in the related art.

[0043] Optionally, the operating state of the oil pump is controlled based on the driving condition information to flush the pressure relief valve to obtain a flushing result, including: obtaining a preset valve body flushing entry condition and a preset valve body flushing exit condition, wherein the preset valve body flushing entry condition is used to indicate a preset control condition for triggering flushing of the pressure relief valve, and the preset valve body flushing exit condition is used to indicate a preset control condition for terminating flushing of the pressure relief valve; based on the driving condition information, the preset valve body flushing entry condition and the preset valve body flushing exit condition, the operating state of the oil pump is controlled to flush the pressure relief valve.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, a preset valve body flushing entry condition and a preset valve body flushing exit condition can be obtained, and a condition for triggering flushing of the pressure relief valve, i.e., a preset valve body flushing entry condition, can be preset. Relevant driving condition information, such as vehicle speed, oil temperature, and other data, can be obtained through a sensor to determine when the pressure relief valve needs to be flushed. A preset valve body flushing exit condition can also be set, i.e., a preset condition for stopping flushing of the pressure relief valve, to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the flushing process. Further, based on the driving condition information, the preset valve body flushing entry condition, and the preset valve body flushing exit condition, the running state of the oil pump can be controlled to flush the pressure relief valve. Specifically, when the preset valve body flushing entry condition is met, the oil pump is controlled to start and the transmission oil is injected into the pressure relief valve for flushing. At the same time, the driving condition information can be monitored, and when the preset valve body flushing exit condition is met, the oil pump is stopped to end the flushing process of the pressure relief valve, so that the hybrid transmission valve body can be effectively flushed by driving condition information, setting the preset flushing condition, and controlling the running state of the oil pump, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the hybrid transmission valve body and extending the service life.

[0045] Optionally, the operating state of the oil pump includes at least: the rotation direction and rotation speed of the oil pump; based on driving condition information, preset valve body flushing entry conditions and preset valve body flushing exit conditions, controlling the operating state of the oil pump to flush the pressure relief valve, including: determining a target duty cycle signal based on driving condition information, preset valve body flushing entry conditions and preset valve body flushing exit conditions; based on the target duty cycle information, controlling the rotation direction and rotation speed of the oil pump, wherein the rotation direction is used to control the flow direction of the transmission oil, and the rotation speed is used to control the flow speed of the transmission oil.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, a target duty cycle signal can be calculated based on driving condition information, preset valve body flushing entry conditions and preset valve body flushing exit conditions, which can be the ratio of opening time to closing time in the oil pump working cycle; then, according to the target duty cycle information, valve body flushing can be achieved by controlling the rotation direction and rotation speed of the oil pump. The rotation direction is used to control the flow direction of the transmission oil. For example, high-frequency change of the rotation direction can achieve repeated and vibratory impact on the blockage in the pressure relief valve, or forward rotation can be set for flushing the valve body, and reverse rotation can be used to discharge waste liquid; the rotation speed can be used to control the flow speed of the transmission oil, and the impact strength on the blockage in the pressure relief valve can be achieved. The rotation speed can be adjusted as needed to control the flushing effect. Through the above steps, the operating state of the oil pump can be controlled during the flushing process of the hybrid transmission valve body to ensure the effect and stability of the valve body flushing.

[0047] Optionally, the preset valve body flushing entry condition includes at least: the clutch in the hybrid transmission is in an engaged state and the clutch transmission torque is less than a first preset torque threshold, the engaged state being used to indicate that the engine and hybrid transmission in the hybrid vehicle are in an engaged state.

[0048] The first preset torque threshold mentioned above may refer to a preset threshold for measuring the transmission torque of the clutch. For example, the first preset torque threshold may be set to 50 N·m. The first preset torque threshold may be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the setting of a preset valve body flushing entry condition can ensure that the valve body is flushed under appropriate circumstances. The preset valve body flushing entry condition can at least include the following conditions: the clutch in the hybrid transmission is in an engaged state and the clutch transmission torque is less than a first preset torque threshold, wherein the clutch in the hybrid transmission is in an engaged state, which can indicate that the engine and the hybrid transmission in the hybrid vehicle are in an engaged state, that is, the power of the engine can be transmitted to the transmission. In this case, the oil pump will control the transmission oil to flow into the clutch oil circuit. Combined with the structure and position relationship of the pressure relief valve in the transmission, the condition for controlling the oil pump to flush the pressure relief valve is met at this time; the clutch transmission torque is less than the first preset torque threshold, which can indicate that the transmission is working under a low load state. At this time, it is more suitable to flush the pressure relief valve. By triggering the valve body flushing by the size of the clutch transmission torque, unnecessary flushing operations under high load conditions can be avoided, saving energy and reducing costs. The setting of the preset valve body flushing entry condition can ensure that the valve body is flushed at an appropriate time and under appropriate conditions, improve the performance and reliability of the hybrid transmission system, and extend the service life of the hybrid transmission system.

[0050] Optionally, the preset valve body flushing exit condition includes at least one of the following: the clutch in the hybrid transmission is in a disengaged state, the clutch's transmission torque demand is greater than a second preset torque threshold, and the flushing time for flushing the pressure relief valve is greater than a preset time threshold, wherein the disengaged state is used to indicate that the engine and hybrid transmission in the hybrid vehicle are in a disengaged state, and the second preset torque threshold is greater than the first preset torque threshold.

[0051] The aforementioned transfer torque demand may refer to the transfer torque required by the vehicle sent by the vehicle control system to the clutch.

[0052] The second preset torque threshold mentioned above may refer to a preset threshold for measuring the transmission torque requirement of the clutch. For example, the second preset torque threshold may be set to 80 N·m. The second preset torque threshold may be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the setting of a preset valve body flushing exit condition can ensure that the hybrid transmission valve body exits the flushing state at an appropriate time to ensure the normal operation and performance of the hybrid vehicle. The preset valve body flushing exit condition can include at least one of the following: when the clutch in the hybrid transmission is in a disengaged state, the valve body will exit the flushing state. This is because in the clutch disengaged state, there is no torque transmitted between the engine and the hybrid transmission. Combined with the structure and position relationship of the pressure relief valve in the transmission, it is suitable to continue the flushing operation at this time; when the transmission torque demand of the clutch is greater than the second preset torque threshold, the valve body will also exit the flushing state, which can avoid continuous flushing under high load conditions and protect the normal operation of the hybrid transmission; when the flushing time of the pressure relief valve is greater than the preset time threshold, the valve body can also exit the flushing process, which can prevent the flushing operation from being too long, avoid wasting resources and possible adverse effects. Through the above settings, it can be ensured that the hybrid transmission valve body exits the flushing state under appropriate conditions, improve the efficiency and reliability of the system, and ensure the stability and performance of the hybrid vehicle.

[0054] Optionally, based on driving condition information, preset valve body flushing entry conditions and preset valve body flushing exit conditions, the operating state of the oil pump is controlled to flush the pressure relief valve, including: based on driving condition information, preset valve body flushing entry conditions and preset valve body flushing exit conditions, the operating state of the oil pump and the opening and closing state of the throttle hole in the pressure relief valve are controlled to flush the pressure relief valve, wherein the opening and closing state of the throttle hole is used to change the hydraulic pressure of the transmission oil flowing through the pressure relief valve.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, during the flushing process of the hybrid transmission valve body, the operating state of the oil pump and the opening and closing state of the throttle hole in the pressure relief valve can be controlled based on the driving condition information, the preset valve body flushing entry condition and the preset valve body flushing exit condition to flush the pressure relief valve. Specifically, the operating state of the oil pump can be controlled according to the driving condition information and the set flushing conditions, and the opening and closing state of the throttle hole in the pressure relief valve can be controlled to change the liquid pressure of the transmission oil flowing through the pressure relief valve. According to the flushing entry condition and exit condition of the pressure relief valve, the pressure relief valve is flushed by controlling the operating state of the oil pump and the opening and closing state of the throttle hole to remove possible dirt or impurities and ensure the normal operation of the pressure relief valve. By flushing the pressure relief valve based on the driving condition information and the preset conditions, the normal operation of the pressure relief valve can be ensured, the efficiency and reliability of the hybrid transmission can be improved, and the service life of the hybrid transmission can be extended. At the same time, the possibility of failure can also be reduced, and the overall performance and driving experience of the vehicle can be improved.

[0056] The technical solution proposed in this application is explained below in combination with an optional application scenario. This application relates to a hybrid transmission valve body flushing method. In recent years, the clutch action execution control scheme of the oil pump direct control clutch has been widely used due to its relatively low cost, low power consumption, short development cycle and other advantages. For this clutch execution scheme, a pressure relief valve is added to its clutch oil circuit to throttle the oil leakage path from the oil pump to the clutch execution oil chamber, which can further reduce the oil pump power consumption in the torque range. The throttling area of ​​the pressure relief valve is related to the pressure of the clutch execution oil chamber. When the pressure in the execution oil chamber is lower than the opening pressure of the pressure relief valve, the throttle hole is in a closed state. When the pressure in the execution oil chamber is higher than the opening pressure of the pressure relief valve, the throttle hole is opened, and the oil in the oil pan flows back to the oil pan through the oil pump, the oil circuit, and the pressure relief valve to form a loop. The addition of the pressure relief valve can achieve a lower flow demand to establish a higher clutch execution oil chamber pressure; when the throttle hole opening is small, due to the cleanliness of the oil, it is easy to cause the throttle hole to be blocked, and the pressure and flow are unstable, which causes the clutch to be unable to form a stable engagement state.

[0057] The present application proposes a valve body flushing method for a hybrid transmission. In view of the above-mentioned cleanliness problem, a special cleaning strategy is designed to achieve cleaning of the inside of the valve body to help achieve stable pressure and flow control of the clutch execution oil chamber. The clutch execution operation scheme can be composed of three parts: a clutch oil circuit, a pressure relief valve, and a hydraulic oil pump. When the clutch needs to be engaged, a duty cycle command is sent to the oil pump controller to achieve forward rotation of the oil pump. When the pressure is lower than the pressure relief pressure of the pressure relief valve, the pressure relief valve is closed and the oil pump flow is completely injected into the clutch oil chamber. When the pressure is higher than the pressure relief valve pressure, the pressure relief valve is opened and throttling is achieved through the throttle hole of the pressure relief valve. The clutch pressure is then controlled. There is a corresponding relationship between the clutch pressure build-up pressure and the duty cycle. When the duty cycle is small, less than and far from 0%, a larger valve body throttle hole area can be achieved. When the duty cycle is large, less than and close to 0%, the throttle hole can be closed. This feature can be used to design a special valve body flushing action to clean the valve body and achieve long-term and stable pressure control.

[0058] It can be seen from the above description that rapid valve body movement can shake off contaminants in the valve body, and a larger flow rate can take away contaminants in the valve body. According to the above analysis, the hybrid transmission valve body flushing scheme can be designed as follows: The valve body flushing function activation condition design can judge the working state of the clutch. When the following working state conditions are met, the flushing action can be performed. The following working conditions are in the relationship between: the current hybrid system is in parallel state, the clutch transmission torque is less than 50Nm, the accelerator pedal opening is higher than 10%, the transmission oil temperature is higher than 60°C, the continuous mileage exceeds 100 kilometers or the clutch remains engaged for more than 60 minutes. The above valve body flushing function activation conditions can also be determined according to actual needs and are not limited here.

[0059] The valve body flushing function exit condition design, when the following working conditions are met, the valve body flushing function is exited, the following working conditions are in an or relationship, and may include: the clutch transmission torque demand is higher than 80Nm, the pressure fluctuation caused by the valve body flushing process may affect the clutch torque transmission, so when the clutch transmission torque demand changes, the valve body flushing function needs to be exited; the clutch controller receives a separation command, the clutch receives a separation command, the current working state no longer has the conditions for flushing, so the valve body flushing function needs to be exited; the clutch execution system fails, the current working state no longer has the conditions for flushing, and the valve body flushing function needs to be exited; the actual pressure of the clutch is too low during the flushing process, and the flushing action causes the actual pressure of the clutch to be too low during the flushing process, and continuing the action may cause the clutch pressure to further decrease, so the valve body flushing function needs to be exited; the valve body flushing action is completed, and the flushing function is exited.

[0060] The valve body flushing action design may include taking the duty cycle corresponding to the current clutch demand pressure as the starting duty cycle A and -100% duty cycle as the target duty cycle B, and performing square wave control, so that the throttle hole is opened and closed three times while ensuring the clutch engagement pressure. During this process, the valve core fluctuates up and down due to pressure changes, and the flow rate also fluctuates up and down. Any stolen goods stuck in the valve body will be carried away by the oil flowing through the valve body. The above flushing process can also be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here.
