[0003] The prior art is to open an oil guide hole in the front housing of the gearbox to introduce the lubricating oil after lubricating the front bearing of one shaft into the intermediate shaft brake. Although this method can play a certain lubricating role on the intermediate shaft brake, the oil guide hole is located at the end of the lubrication system, resulting in a small amount of oil and poor lubrication effect on the intermediate shaft brake. In addition, since the intermediate shaft brake has a short working time and generates a lot of heat in a short time, a large amount of lubricating oil is required to lubricate it.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, “plurality” means two or more than two.
[0020] The terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the embodiments of the present invention are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, apparatus, product or equipment comprising a series of steps or modules is not necessarily limited to those steps or modules clearly listed, but may include other steps or modules not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or equipment.

The execution order of the named or numbered process steps can be changed according to the technical purpose to be achieved, as long as the same or similar technical effects can be achieved.
[0022] Reference to an "embodiment" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
[0023] Before presenting the embodiments, the following terms are explained.
[0024] Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), AMT transmission is essentially developed on the basis of traditional manual transmission. It retains the basic structural components of manual transmission, such as gear sets, shafts, synchronizers, etc. For example, the gear transmission part of AMT transmission used in some small cars is similar to that of manual transmission, with input shaft, output shaft and gears for each gear.
[0025] Adding electronic control and actuators: To achieve the automatic shifting function, AMT adds an electronic control unit (ECU), sensors (such as speed sensors, gear position sensors, etc.) and actuators (such as hydraulic or electric shift actuators, clutch actuators, etc.). These sensors are responsible for collecting various operating parameters of the vehicle, such as engine speed, vehicle speed, accelerator pedal position, etc., and transmit the information to the electronic control unit.
[0026] Working Principle Clutch Control: During the gear shifting process, the electronic control unit determines the timing of the gear shift based on the collected information. When a gear shift is required, the clutch actuator is first used to control the clutch to disengage, just like the driver pressing the clutch pedal. For example, when the vehicle starts, the ECU commands the clutch actuator to gradually disengage the clutch based on the information that the engine speed and vehicle speed are zero to prevent the engine from stalling.
[0027] Shifting operation: After the clutch is disengaged, the shift actuator performs the shifting action according to the ECU's instructions, moving the shift fork to switch different gears. After the shifting is completed, the clutch actuator controls the clutch to engage. During the whole process, the ECU ensures the smoothness and timeliness of the shifting by precisely controlling the action of the actuator.
[0028] The Transmission Control Unit (TCU) is a key electronic control unit in the automotive field. Its main responsibility is to comprehensively monitor and manage the operation and functions of the vehicle transmission (whether automatic or manual). By receiving signals from the engine control module and other sensors, the TCU can accurately determine the best shifting time, speed and gear position based on preset programs and data, thereby achieving the purpose of optimizing fuel consumption and improving driving performance.
[0029] In modern cars, the role of TCU cannot be ignored. It can dynamically adjust the working mode of the transmission according to the real-time driving conditions and the driver's intentions to ensure a smoother driving process. What's more worth mentioning is that TCU also has the ability to learn and can fine-tune the performance of the transmission by analyzing the driver's habits and driving environment, thereby further improving driving comfort and safety.
[0030] Compared with traditional manual transmissions, automatic transmissions equipped with TCU are more intelligent and can better adapt to changing driving scenarios and personalized driving needs. It can not only automatically optimize the shifting logic, but also work closely with the engine control module to achieve more precise acceleration and braking control, significantly improving the vehicle's handling and stability.
[0031] The TCU is the core control unit of the AMT system. It is responsible for receiving signals from various sensors on the vehicle (such as vehicle speed, throttle position, brake signals, etc.), and controls the AMT's shifting process based on these signals and the preset shifting logic. The TCU is also responsible for monitoring the status of the AMT system and performing fault diagnosis and alarm when necessary.
[0032] The intermediate shaft brake is an important component in the AMT gearbox. It is located near the intermediate shaft of the gearbox and mainly realizes specific shift control functions by braking the intermediate shaft.
[0033] Function: Realize fast gear shifting: During the gear shifting process, when the gear needs to be switched, the intermediate shaft brake can quickly brake the intermediate shaft. For example, when shifting from a low gear to a high gear, by braking the intermediate shaft, the power transmission of the intermediate shaft can be quickly interrupted, so that the synchronizer can perform synchronous operation more efficiently, thereby achieving fast and accurate gear shifting. This helps to reduce the gear shifting time and improve the gear shifting efficiency.
[0034] Improve shifting smoothness: It can accurately control the speed change of the intermediate shaft. When shifting, the intermediate shaft is braked properly to make the speed of the gears of the two gears to be engaged more matched. This can reduce the shifting shock caused by the speed difference, make the shifting process smoother, and improve the driving comfort of the vehicle.
[0035] Structure and PrincipleStructural FeaturesBrake disc and brake pad: The intermediate shaft brake usually includes a brake disc and a brake pad. The brake disc is connected to the intermediate shaft or is part of the intermediate shaft, and the brake pad is mounted on a fixed bracket. The brake pad can be made of friction material, similar to the brake pad in the car brake system.
[0036] Actuator: There is a corresponding actuator to control the contact and separation of the brake pad and the brake disc. This actuator is usually driven by a hydraulic or electric system. For example, in a hydraulically driven intermediate shaft brake, there are hydraulic cylinders, pistons and other components. When the pressure oil in the hydraulic system pushes the piston, the piston drives the brake pad to move toward the brake disc, thereby achieving the braking function.
[0037] The working principle is based on friction braking: when the intermediate shaft needs to be braked, the actuator presses the brake pad tightly against the brake disc. Due to the friction between the brake pad and the brake disc, the rotation of the intermediate shaft is hindered and the speed begins to drop. The magnitude of this friction depends on the pressure of the brake pad on the brake disc and the friction coefficient between the two. The electronic control unit (ECU) accurately controls the pressure applied by the actuator according to the operating status of the vehicle (such as vehicle speed, engine speed, gear position, etc.), thereby achieving precise control of the degree of braking of the intermediate shaft.
[0038] It should be noted that the integrated AMT cancels the synchronizer of the main gearbox and adds an intermediate shaft brake. When the AMT needs to shift up, the intermediate shaft brake is used to brake the main gearbox until the speed of one shaft drops to the target value. The intermediate shaft brake is installed at the front end of the intermediate shaft. The structure is similar to the wet clutch. It creates axial pressure through the cylinder to form friction resistance. Performance depends on friction performance and lubrication effect. Figure 1 As shown, it can be seen that the intermediate shaft brake is installed at the end of the lubrication system, and the lubricating oil pressure and oil volume cannot be effectively guaranteed. This embodiment provides an active lubrication control device for the intermediate shaft brake. It can ensure that the intermediate shaft and the intermediate shaft brake are fully lubricated without affecting the gearbox lubrication system.
[0039] In order to understand the content of the present invention in more detail, the following introduces the structure of the AMT lubrication system in the prior art, as well as the content of improvement based on the prior art. The existing technical solution is to open an oil guide hole in the front housing of the gearbox to introduce the lubricating oil after lubricating the front bearing of the first shaft into the intermediate shaft brake. It can be seen from the lubricating oil circuit that the lubricating oil from the oil pump is respectively lubricated to the oil pipe of the first shaft and the rear auxiliary through the oil separator ring, and the entire lubrication system is not closed. For example, after the needle bearings of each gear position of the main box are lubricated, the lubricating oil directly flows back to the middle housing oil pool. Although this method can play a certain lubricating role on the intermediate shaft brake, because the oil guide hole is located at the end of the lubrication system, the oil volume is small, and the lubrication effect on the intermediate shaft brake is poor.
[0040] The present invention is an improvement on the prior art. Figure 2 As shown, the oil circuit at the oil distributor ring is expanded from 2 to 3, and the solenoid valve and intermediate shaft brake lubrication oil channel are installed after the oil filter. The aperture of the oil channel can be determined based on the theoretical calculation of the required lubricating oil volume. It is directly connected to the intermediate shaft brake through an oil pipe. The working condition is identified on the TCU control to determine whether the intermediate shaft brake solenoid valve needs to be opened.
[0041] Specifically, the present invention provides an intermediate shaft brake active lubrication control device, method and vehicle, which are described below respectively.
