Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of transmission hydraulic control, and in particular to a hybrid transmission hydraulic control system and method. Background Art

[0002] The cooling and lubrication module of the hydraulic system of the traditional dual-motor hybrid transmission usually uses a fixed throttle hole to distribute the cooling flow of each component of the drive motor route, the generator route, and the engine route. The distribution ratio between each route is fixed and unchanged, and the cooling flow requirements of each component under different working conditions can only be met by changing the size of the total cooling flow. When the hybrid transmission is running in different working modes, the cooling flow requirements of each component of the drive motor route, the generator route, and the engine route will vary greatly. The technical solution of only using a fixed throttle hole for cooling flow distribution needs to meet the maximum cooling flow requirements of each component by increasing the total cooling flow. This obviously requires increasing the power of the hydraulic oil source and selecting a larger displacement oil pump, resulting in an increase in cost and an increase in structural size. It is understandable that the technical solution of only using a fixed throttle hole for cooling flow distribution will inevitably lead to a synchronous increase in the cooling flow allocated to other routes while meeting the maximum cooling flow requirements of a certain route. On the one hand, this will cause a waste of flow and reduce the efficiency of the hydraulic system. On the other hand, excessive cooling flow in other routes may cause greater oil stirring losses, further reducing system efficiency.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, a common solution is to set a flow distribution solenoid valve in the cooling and lubrication module. Theoretically, 2 to 3 flow distribution ratios can be achieved. However, in practice, it is difficult to achieve this because the actual flow in the transmission is not easy to measure, the pressure drop increases due to the solenoid valve spool stroke limitation, and the consistency of the solenoid valve is difficult to ensure. In addition, setting a flow distribution solenoid valve will significantly increase the cost, occupy additional control system ports of the electronic control system, and increase the complexity of the control software. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1A structural schematic diagram of a hybrid transmission hydraulic control system provided in an embodiment of the present application. The hybrid transmission hydraulic control system includes: a hydraulic oil tank 101, a mechanical oil pump 103, an electric oil pump 104, a first slide valve 113, a second slide valve 114, a pressure control component, a drive motor cooling and lubrication system, a generator cooling and lubrication system, and an engine cooling and lubrication system, wherein the mechanical oil pump 103 and the electric oil pump 104 are respectively connected to the hydraulic oil tank 101, the electric oil pump 104 is connected to the drive motor cooling and lubrication system, the generator cooling and lubrication system, and the engine cooling and lubrication system, the mechanical oil pump 103 is connected to the pressure control component, the pressure control component is respectively connected to the first slide valve 113 and the second slide valve 114, the first slide valve 113 is connected to the second slide valve 114, and the second slide valve 114 is respectively connected to the generator cooling and lubrication system and the engine cooling and lubrication system.

[0047] Wherein, when the mechanical oil pump 103 and / or the electric oil pump 104 are working, hydraulic oil is delivered to the drive motor cooling and lubrication system, the generator cooling and lubrication system and the engine cooling and lubrication system; when the mechanical oil pump 103 is working, the pressure control component applies a first pressure to the first slide valve 113 to control the first slide valve 113 and the second slide valve 114 to turn on the first switch, thereby delivering a set amount of hydraulic oil to the generator cooling and lubrication system; when the mechanical oil pump 103 is working, the pressure control component applies a first pressure to the first slide valve 113 and a second pressure to the second slide valve 114 to control the first slide valve 113 and the second slide valve 114 to turn on the second switch, thereby delivering a set amount of hydraulic oil to the engine cooling and lubrication system.

[0048] Optionally, the power source of the mechanical oil pump 103 is the engine, and its speed is positively correlated with the engine speed. Compared with the electric oil pump 104, the mechanical oil pump 103 can significantly reduce the system cost; the speed and output flow of the electric oil pump 104 can be adjusted according to the control requirements.

[0049] Optionally, the first slide valve 113 is a two-position two-way switch valve, whose control port is connected to the first oil circuit 1 ; the second slide valve 114 is a three-position three-way flow valve, whose control port is connected to the second oil circuit 2 .

[0050] As described above, the embodiment of the present application arranges a mechanical oil pump 103 and an electric oil pump 104 to supply hydraulic oil to the drive motor cooling lubrication system, the generator cooling lubrication system and the engine cooling lubrication system, and arranges a pressure control component, a first slide valve 113 and a second slide valve 114 to realize different cooling flow distribution ratios in the three modes of the drive motor cooling lubrication system, the generator cooling lubrication system and the engine cooling lubrication system, and the cooling flow distribution ratio is automatically switched according to the hybrid transmission working mode, without the need for active adjustment, which can significantly reduce the system cost and the complexity of the control software, and improve the efficiency of the hydraulic system.

[0051] In some embodiments, it also includes a first mechanical slide valve 106, a clutch control module 109 and a gear selection and shift control module 110. The mechanical oil pump 103 is respectively connected to the first slide valve 113, the pressure control component, the first mechanical slide valve 106, the clutch control module 109 and the gear selection and shift control module 110 through the first oil circuit 1; the clutch control module 109 is connected to the clutch control system through the fourth oil circuit 4, and the gear selection and shift control module 110 is connected to the gear selection and shift control system through the fifth oil circuit 5; wherein, when the oil flow of the first oil circuit 1 can meet the requirements of the clutch control module 109 and the gear selection and shift control module 110, the excess flow in the first oil circuit 1 can be transported to the third oil circuit 3 through the first mechanical slide valve 106 for use by the cooling and lubrication system, thereby improving the oil utilization rate and thus improving the system efficiency.

[0052] In some embodiments, the pressure control component includes a first solenoid valve 105, which is respectively connected to the second slide valve 114 and the first mechanical slide valve 106 through a second oil circuit 2, and a damping accumulator 107 is provided on the second oil circuit 2; wherein, with the cooperation of the first solenoid valve 105 and the first mechanical slide valve 106, the pressure of the first oil circuit 1 can be changed by changing the command current of the first solenoid valve 105, thereby realizing pressure regulation of the first oil circuit 1.

[0053] Optionally, a damping accumulator 107 is connected in parallel to the second oil circuit 2 to improve pressure fluctuations caused by pressure regulation and to enhance the stability of the pressure in the second oil circuit 2 .

[0054] Optionally, the first solenoid valve 105 is in a normally low-pressure form, that is, when the current is 0, its output pressure is 0, and when the current increases, its output pressure increases.

[0055] In some embodiments, the sixth oil circuit 6 of the electric oil pump 104 merges with the third oil circuit 3 output by the first mechanical slide valve 106 to form a seventh oil circuit 7. The seventh oil circuit 7 outputs an eighth oil circuit 8 after passing through a cooler 111 and a low-pressure filter 112. The eighth oil circuit 8 is connected to the first slide valve 113 through a tenth oil circuit 10, and the eighth oil circuit 8 is respectively connected to the drive motor cooling and lubrication system, the generator cooling and lubrication system and the engine cooling and lubrication system through a ninth oil circuit 9; the first slide valve 113 is connected to the second slide valve 114 through an eleventh oil circuit 11; wherein, the oil circuits for the circulation of hydraulic oil formed between the various components realize the supply demand of hydraulic oil.

[0056] The cooler 111 is used to cool the hydraulic oil, and the low-pressure filter 112 is used to filter out solid particles and colloidal substances in the hydraulic oil in the seventh pipeline, so as to effectively control the contamination degree of the hydraulic pressure.

[0057] It is understandable that hybrid vehicles usually have multiple driving modes, and the clutch control module 109 and the shift selection module need to be controlled only in the mode where the engine participates in the driving. Under the series working condition where the engine is running but not participating in the driving, the solenoid valve in the normal low-pressure form cooperates with the first slide valve 113 to achieve that the load pressure of the mechanical oil pump 103 is kept at a low preset value (for example, 3 bar), that is, the load pressure of the mechanical oil pump 103 is small, the energy consumption is reduced, and the system efficiency is improved. At the same time, the flow in the first oil circuit 1 can be transported to the third oil circuit 3 through the first mechanical slide valve 106 for cooling and lubrication, thereby improving the utilization rate of the oil and thus improving the system efficiency.

[0058] In some embodiments, a first fixed throttle hole 115 is provided on the oil circuit connecting the ninth oil circuit 9 and the drive motor cooling lubrication system, a second fixed throttle hole 116 is provided on the oil circuit connecting the ninth oil circuit 9 and the generator cooling lubrication system, and a third fixed throttle hole 117 is provided on the oil circuit connecting the ninth oil circuit 9 and the engine cooling lubrication system; a fourth fixed throttle hole 118 is provided on the oil circuit connecting the second slide valve 114 and the engine cooling lubrication system, and a fifth fixed throttle hole 119 is provided on the oil circuit connecting the second slide valve 114 and the generator cooling lubrication system; wherein, by setting the first fixed throttle hole 115, the second fixed throttle hole 116, the third fixed throttle hole 117, the fourth fixed throttle hole 118, and the fifth fixed throttle hole 119, the hydraulic oil flow of the corresponding oil circuits is respectively controlled to avoid inconvenience caused by excessive hydraulic oil flow.

[0059] In some embodiments, an oil suction filter 102 is provided on the hydraulic oil tank 101, and a pressure limiting safety valve 108 is provided on the first oil circuit 1; wherein, the oil suction filter 102 is provided to filter out impurities and particles in the oil to prevent these impurities from entering the hydraulic system, thereby protecting the pump, valves and other precision components; a pressure limiting safety valve 108 is provided in parallel with the first oil circuit 1, and when the pressure of the first oil circuit 1 exceeds the set pressure of the pressure limiting safety valve 108, the pressure limiting safety valve 108 opens to limit the maximum pressure of the first oil circuit 1, thereby ensuring the safety of the system and dealing with the problem of excessive increase in oil pressure in the first oil circuit 1 caused by the sticking of the first mechanical slide valve 106 or other abnormal conditions.

[0060] Specifically, the hybrid transmission hydraulic control system is composed of a hydraulic oil tank 101, an oil suction filter 102, a mechanical oil pump 103, an electric oil pump 104, a first solenoid valve 105, a first mechanical slide valve 106, a damping accumulator 107, a pressure limiting safety valve 108, a clutch control module 109, a shift control module 110, a cooler 111, a low-pressure filter 112, a first slide valve 113, a second slide valve 114, a first fixed throttle hole 115, a second fixed throttle hole 116, a third fixed throttle hole 117, a fourth fixed throttle hole 118, a fifth fixed throttle hole 119, a first oil circuit 1, a second oil circuit 2, a third oil circuit 3, a fourth oil circuit 4, a fifth oil circuit 5, a sixth oil circuit 6, a seventh oil circuit 7, an eighth oil circuit 8, a ninth oil circuit 9, a tenth oil circuit 10, and an eleventh oil circuit 11.

[0061] Main oil circuit pressure adjustment process: The pressure of the first oil circuit 1 is usually called the main oil circuit pressure. In the initial state, the pressure of the main oil circuit is 0, the current of the first solenoid valve 105 is 0, and the first mechanical slide valve 106 is in the state under the action of its left spring force. Figure 1 In the left working position shown, the first oil circuit 1 is not connected to the third oil circuit 3. When the mechanical oil pump 103 is running, the oil in the hydraulic oil tank 101 first flows through the oil suction filter 102, and then through the mechanical oil pump 103, it is delivered to the first oil circuit 1. Since the first oil circuit 1 is not connected to the third oil circuit 3, the first oil circuit 1 begins to build up pressure. For the first mechanical slide valve 106, the compression spring on its left side will generate a rightward force on the valve core, and the pressure of the second oil circuit 2 on its left side will generate a rightward force on the valve core. The combined force of these two forces and the first mechanical slide valve 106 Figure 1 The force on the right side of the first mechanical slide valve 106 is positively correlated with the pressure of the first oil circuit 1. The first solenoid valve 105 is a proportional pressure solenoid valve. By changing the command current of the first solenoid valve 105, the pressure of the second oil circuit 2 can be changed as needed. It can be understood that with the cooperation of the first solenoid valve 105 and the first mechanical slide valve 106, the pressure of the first oil circuit 1 can be changed by changing the command current of the first solenoid valve 105.

[0062] Cooling and lubrication flow replenishment process: As the pressure of the first oil circuit 1 gradually increases and reaches the left side force of the first mechanical slide valve 106, the valve core of the first mechanical slide valve 106 gradually moves, and its left spring is further compressed, and the valve core gradually moves to Figure 1 The first oil circuit 1 is in the right position shown in the figure, and the first oil circuit 1 is connected with the third oil circuit 3. When the oil flow of the first oil circuit 1 can meet the requirements of the clutch control module 109 and the gear selection and shifting control module 110, the excess flow in the first oil circuit 1 is delivered to the third oil circuit 3 through the first mechanical slide valve 106 for use by the cooling and lubrication system, thereby improving the oil utilization rate and thus improving the system efficiency.

[0063] Cooling and lubrication flow distribution process: When the electric oil pump 104 is running, the oil in the hydraulic oil tank 101 first flows through the oil suction filter 102, and is transported to the sixth oil circuit 6 through the electric oil pump 104, and then merges with the oil in the third oil circuit 3 and is transported to the seventh oil circuit 7. It is cooled and further filtered by the cooler 111 and the low-pressure filter 112 and then transported to the eighth oil circuit 8.

[0064] For example, please refer to Figure 1 When the hybrid transmission works in pure electric mode, the engine does not run, the mechanical oil pump 103 does not work, the pressure of the first oil circuit 1 is 0, the current of the first solenoid valve 105 is 0, and the pressure of the second oil circuit 2 is 0. Because the right control port of the first slide valve 113 is connected to the first oil circuit 1, and the right control port of the second slide valve 114 is connected to the second oil circuit 2, the pressure of the right control port of the first slide valve 113 is 0, and the pressure of the right control port of the second slide valve 114 is 0. The first slide valve 113 works under the action of the left compression spring. Figure 1 The left position shown in FIG. 1 (i.e., the first slide valve 113 is not conducting), and the second slide valve 114 works under the action of the left compression spring. Figure 1 The left position shown in the figure (i.e. the second slide valve 114 is not conducting), no hydraulic oil passes through the tenth oil circuit 10 and the eleventh oil circuit 11. At this time, all the hydraulic oil in the eighth oil circuit 8 is delivered to the ninth oil circuit 9, and is delivered to the drive motor route (i.e. the drive motor cooling and lubrication system), the generator route (i.e. the generator cooling and lubrication system), and the engine route (i.e. the engine cooling and lubrication system) through the first fixed throttle hole 115, the second fixed throttle hole 116, and the third fixed throttle hole 117, respectively, for cooling and lubricating each component under each route. By reasonably setting the parameters of the first fixed throttle hole 115, the second fixed throttle hole 116, and the third fixed throttle hole 117, the maximum cooling flow requirement of the drive motor route in the pure electric mode can be achieved, the cooling and lubrication flow can be effectively distributed, the cooling flow waste can be reduced, and the system efficiency can be improved.

[0065] When the hybrid transmission works in series mode, the engine is running, the mechanical oil pump 103 is working, the current of the first solenoid valve 105 is 0, the pressure of the second oil circuit 2 is 0, and the first oil circuit 1 builds up pressure and maintains a low preset value (set pressure value). Because the right control port of the first slide valve 113 is connected to the first oil circuit 1, and the right control port of the second slide valve 114 is connected to the second oil circuit 2, there is pressure in the right control port of the first slide valve 113, and the pressure of the right control port of the second slide valve 114 is 0. The second slide valve 114 works under the action of the left compression spring, and the first switch of the second slide valve 114 is turned on (that is, the second slide valve 114 is connected to the fifth fixed throttle hole 119). By designing the opening pressure of the first slide valve 113, the first slide valve 113 works in this mode. Figure 1 The right position shown in FIG. 1 (i.e., the first slide valve 113 is turned on), and the tenth oil circuit 10 is connected to the eleventh oil circuit 11. At this time, a part of the hydraulic oil in the eighth oil circuit 8 is delivered to the ninth oil circuit 9, and is delivered to the drive motor route, the generator route, and the engine route through the first fixed throttle hole 115, the second fixed throttle hole 116, and the third fixed throttle hole 117, respectively, for cooling and lubricating various components in each route; another part of the hydraulic oil in the eighth oil circuit 8 is delivered to the eleventh oil circuit 11 through the tenth oil circuit 10, and is delivered to the generator route through the fifth fixed throttle hole 119, for cooling and lubricating various components in the generator route. Obviously, in this mode, each component in the generator route can be allocated more cooling and lubricating flow, and the maximum cooling flow demand of the generator route in the series mode can be achieved by setting the parameters of the fifth fixed throttle hole 119, so as to achieve effective distribution of cooling and lubricating flow, reduce cooling flow waste, and improve system efficiency.

[0066] When the hybrid transmission is operating in parallel mode or engine direct drive mode, the engine is running, the mechanical oil pump 103 is working, the current of the first solenoid valve 105 is not 0, the pressure of the second oil circuit 2 is not 0, the first oil circuit 1 builds up pressure and maintains the required value (set pressure value) as needed. Because the right control port of the first slide valve 113 is connected to the first oil circuit 1, and the right control port of the second slide valve 114 is connected to the second oil circuit 2, there is pressure at the right control port of the first slide valve 113, and there is pressure at the right control port of the second slide valve 114. By designing the opening pressure of the first slide valve 113, the first slide valve 113 works in this mode. Figure 1The hydraulic oil in the eighth oil circuit 8 is transported to the ninth oil circuit 9, and is transported to the driving motor route, the generator route, and the engine route through the first fixed throttle hole 115, the second fixed throttle hole 116, and the third fixed throttle hole 117, respectively, for cooling and lubricating various components in each route; another part of the hydraulic oil in the eighth oil circuit 8 is transported to the eleventh oil circuit 11 through the tenth oil circuit 10, and is transported to the engine route through the fourth fixed throttle hole 118, and is used for cooling and lubricating various components in the engine route. It can be understood that in this mode, each component in the engine route can be allocated more cooling and lubrication flow. By reasonably setting the parameters of the fourth fixed throttle hole 118, the maximum cooling flow requirement of the engine route in parallel mode or engine direct drive mode can be achieved, thereby achieving effective distribution of cooling and lubrication flow, reducing cooling flow waste, and improving system efficiency.

[0067] As mentioned above, the hydraulic system solution provided in the embodiment of the present application can achieve different cooling flow distribution ratios in the three modes corresponding to the drive motor route, the generator route, and the engine route, and the cooling flow distribution ratio is automatically switched according to the hybrid transmission working mode, without the need for active adjustment, which can significantly reduce the system cost and control software complexity, and improve the efficiency of the hydraulic system, effectively solving existing problems.
