Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments recorded in the present application.

[0066] Figure 3 A structural diagram of a computer device provided in an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0067] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0068] In the related art, for a system equipped with a planetary gearbox, the planetary gearbox will be connected to multiple clutches so as to form corresponding gears by combining with different types and numbers of clutches. For example, a system equipped with a planetary gearbox includes 6 clutches, corresponding to No. 1 to No. 6 respectively. After clutch No. 1, clutch No. 2 and clutch No. 3 are combined with the planetary gearbox, they can correspond to the forward gear; after clutch No. 1, clutch No. 2 and clutch No. 4 are combined with the planetary gearbox, they can correspond to the reverse gear.

[0069] After research, it was found that when the clutch combined with the planetary gear is different from the clutch required for its corresponding gear, and it lasts for a period of time, the power transmission of the planetary gear will be blocked, causing the risk of unexpected deceleration for the driver.

[0070] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a planetary gear detection method and related device, which determines whether there is a risk of power transmission blockage in the planetary gear by detecting the clutch combined with the planetary gear, thereby avoiding the risk of unexpected deceleration of the driver.

[0071] Combine the following Figure 1 , a planetary gear detection method provided in an embodiment of the present application is introduced. Figure 1 The method shown, in one implementation, may be executed by, for example, an electronic control unit (ECU) included in a vehicle. Figure 1 , this figure is a flow chart of a planetary gear detection method provided in an embodiment of the present application, and the method may include S101-S103.

[0072] S101: Acquire a clutch combination blacklist and a clutch combination whitelist.

[0073] Among them, the clutch combination blacklist includes clutch combinations that block the output end of the planetary gearbox and cannot form a gear, that is, the clutch combinations in the clutch combination blacklist have too many constraints, which may cause the planetary gearbox to be in a locked state, resulting in unexpected deceleration of the driver due to the blocking of the transmission power of the planetary gearbox.

[0074] The clutch combination whitelist includes clutch combinations that block the input end of the planetary gear set and cannot form a gear, that is, the planetary gear set corresponding to the clutch combination whitelist combination is not sufficiently constrained and cannot form a gear, for example, two clutches are connected to a component of the planetary gear set, such as a ring gear, a planet carrier, a sun gear, etc.

[0075] As a possible implementation method, a method for obtaining a clutch combination blacklist and a clutch combination whitelist is introduced below.

[0076] Obtain the number of clutch combinations corresponding to each gear position of the automatic transmission system equipped with a planetary gear, such as N1, N2, etc. Arrange the number of clutch combinations corresponding to each gear position from large to small to obtain a numerical arrangement, such as N1>N2, etc. Analyze the clutch combinations with the same value together, and start the analysis from the number of clutch combinations with the largest value, so as to reduce the subsequent workload while making the analysis comprehensive. For example, the forward gear position corresponds to clutch No. 1 and clutch No. 2, and the planetary gear combined with clutch No. 3 does not transmit power, so the gear position corresponding to the clutch combination composed of clutch No. 1, clutch No. 2 and clutch No. 3 can also be the forward gear. The clutch combination corresponding to N1 is used as an example for explanation below.

[0077] Analyze all the clutch combinations corresponding to N1 to determine whether they form a gear. They can be divided into three categories: the first category is that the planetary gear output is blocked and cannot form a gear. The planetary gear constraints corresponding to this type of clutch combination are too many, or in other words, this type of clutch combination will be added to the clutch combination blacklist. The second category is that the planetary gear input is blocked and cannot form a gear. The planetary gear constraints corresponding to this type of clutch combination are not enough to form a gear, or in other words, this type of clutch combination will be added to the clutch combination whitelist. Analyze in order according to the numerical arrangement, group all the clutch combinations corresponding to each numerical value, and add them to the corresponding list to obtain the clutch combination blacklist and clutch combination whitelist. The third category is that the planetary gear can output torque to form a gear. The planetary gear constraints corresponding to this type of clutch combination just form a gear. It can be understood that the first and second categories are categories that do not form a gear. The third category is a category that forms a gear.

[0078] Furthermore, in order to improve the accuracy of the clutch combination blacklist and the clutch combination whitelist, the two lists can be further expanded and screened. Assuming that the clutch combination blacklist is represented by C01 and the clutch combination whitelist is represented by C02, a specific description is given below.

[0079] A screening operation is performed for each clutch combination included in the clutch combination blacklist C01: taking a clutch combination included in the clutch combination blacklist C01 as an example, a clutch in the clutch combination is continuously reduced, and then it is determined whether there are still too many constraints and a gear cannot be formed. If so, the clutch combination after the clutch is reduced is taken as a new clutch combination and added to the new clutch combination blacklist C1 until all the clutch combinations included in the old clutch combination blacklist C01 are screened.

[0080] Perform expansion operations on each clutch combination included in the clutch combination whitelist C02: taking a clutch combination included in the clutch combination whitelist C02 as an example, continuously add clutches outside the clutch combination, and then determine whether the constraint is still insufficient to maintain the neutral state. If so, the clutch combination with the added clutch is treated as a new clutch combination and added to the new clutch combination whitelist C2 until all the clutch combinations included in the old clutch combination whitelist C02 are expanded.

[0081] Thus, through continuous expansion and screening, a new clutch combination blacklist C1 and a new clutch combination whitelist C2 can be obtained, and whether the current clutch combination is in a locked state is subsequently determined based on the new clutch combination blacklist C1 and the new clutch combination whitelist C2. It is understandable that the clutch combination included in the new clutch combination blacklist C1 causes the corresponding planetary gear to be too constrained, which may cause the planetary gear to be in a locked state, and the driver may experience unexpected deceleration due to the blocking of the transmission power of the planetary gear. The clutch combination included in the new clutch combination whitelist C2 causes the corresponding planetary gear to be insufficiently constrained and unable to form a gear, but will not cause the transmission power of the planetary gear to be blocked.

[0082] S102: Detect the engagement state of each clutch and the planetary gear, and obtain the current clutch combination.

[0083] The clutch and the planetary gear combination included in the current clutch combination, that is, the clutch combined with the planetary gear is detected to obtain the current clutch combination. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the detection method, for example, various sensors are used to detect whether each clutch and the planetary gear are combined to obtain the combination state of each clutch and the planetary gear. The following is an example of three sensors.

[0084] Method 1: Based on the clutch pressure sensor, the pressure value of each clutch is obtained, and the clutch whose pressure value is greater than the preset pressure threshold and whose duration is greater than the second time threshold is determined as the clutch combined with the planetary gear. According to the clutch combined with the planetary gear, the current clutch combination is obtained.

[0085] Method 2: Based on the clutch position sensor, the position of each clutch is obtained, and the engagement state of each clutch and the planetary gear is determined according to the position of each clutch. The clutch that is in the engagement state and lasts longer than the second time threshold is determined to be the clutch engaged with the planetary gear. Based on the clutch engaged with the planetary gear, the current clutch combination is obtained.

[0086] Method three: Obtain the clutch torque corresponding to the current of each clutch, and determine the clutch whose clutch torque is greater than the preset torque threshold and whose duration is greater than the third time threshold as the clutch combined with the planetary gearbox, and obtain the current clutch combination based on the clutch combined with the planetary gearbox.

[0087] As a possible implementation method, since the preset torque threshold is related to the oil temperature and the engine torque, the preset torque threshold can be dynamically adjusted based on the oil temperature, wherein the lower the oil temperature, the greater the engine torque, and the corresponding preset torque threshold is greater.

[0088] As a possible implementation method, since the third time threshold is related to the oil temperature, the third time threshold can be dynamically adjusted based on the oil temperature. Among them, the lower the oil temperature, the larger the third time threshold. The third time threshold needs to distinguish between the first pre-filling and non-first pre-filling situations. Since the oil filling time is longer when the clutch is used for the first time, it can continue to be adjusted based on the first oil filling when it is used later. Therefore, the time spent on the first pre-filling will be longer than the time spent on the non-first pre-filling. Therefore, the third time threshold corresponding to the first pre-filling can be larger than the third time threshold of the non-first pre-filling.

[0089] S103: If the current clutch combination is the same as the clutch combination included in the clutch combination blacklist, or if the current clutch combination is different from the clutch combination included in the clutch combination whitelist, and the number of clutches included in the current clutch combination is greater than the clutch maximum number threshold, it is determined that the planetary gear is in a locked state.

[0090] If the current clutch combination is the same as the clutch combination included in the clutch combination blacklist, it means that the current clutch combination has too many constraints, which may cause the transmission power of the planetary gear to be blocked, resulting in an unexpected deceleration of the driver. At this time, in order to ensure safety, it can be determined that the planetary gear is in a locked state.

[0091] If the current clutch combination is different from the clutch combination included in the clutch combination whitelist, it means that the current clutch combination is not a clutch combination that blocks the input end of the planetary gear and cannot form a gear, and the number of clutches included in the current clutch combination is greater than the maximum clutch number threshold, where the maximum clutch number threshold is the maximum number of clutches combined with the planetary gear, such as N1 described above. In other words, the current clutch combination includes a large number of clutches, but it is not a situation where insufficient constraints will not cause the transmission power of the planetary gear to be blocked, then it may be a situation where there are too many constraints. At this time, in order to ensure safety, it can be determined that the planetary gear is in a locked state.

[0092] As a possible implementation method, if it is determined that the planetary gear is in a locked state, the transmission chain is controlled to be disengaged to interrupt the power transmission. For example, the transmission control unit should immediately request to disconnect the corresponding solenoid valve high-side drive to control the disengagement of the transmission chain to interrupt the power transmission until the end of this driving cycle. Among them, one driving cycle refers to the start of the driver starting the engine and the end of the engine shutting down.

[0093] As a possible implementation method, the vehicle's oil temperature and speed signals can be obtained first. If the oil temperature is greater than a preset oil temperature threshold, and the speed signal indicates that the vehicle's speed is greater than the speed threshold, it means that the vehicle speed currently exists and is not in a non-stationary or very low speed state. In addition, when the oil temperature signal is invalid, the oil temperature will be defaulted to a larger value, and then S103 will be executed to eliminate some false alarms and improve the accuracy of detection.

[0094] As a possible implementation, if the current clutch combination is the same as the clutch combination included in the clutch combination blacklist, and the holding time of the current clutch combination exceeds the first time threshold, it is determined that the planetary gear is in a locked state; or,

[0095] If the current clutch combination is different from the clutch combination included in the clutch combination whitelist, the number of clutches included in the current clutch combination is greater than the maximum clutch number threshold, and the holding time of the current clutch combination exceeds the first time threshold, it is determined that the planetary gear is in a locked state.

[0096] Therefore, when the number and type of clutches combined with the planetary gear are different from those required by the corresponding gear, and the duration exceeds a period of time (i.e., the first time threshold), it is determined that the planetary gear is in a locked state, which can avoid some false alarms and improve the accuracy of detection.

[0097] It can be known from the above technical solution that a clutch combination blacklist and a clutch combination whitelist for clutch combinations are obtained, wherein the clutch combination included in the clutch combination blacklist blocks the output end of the planetary gearbox and cannot form a gear, and the clutch combination included in the clutch combination whitelist blocks the input end of the planetary gearbox and cannot form a gear. The combination state of each clutch and the planetary gearbox is detected, and the clutch combined with the planetary gearbox is determined as the current clutch combination. If the current clutch combination is the same as the clutch combination included in the clutch combination blacklist, it means that the planetary gearbox has too many constraints, which will cause the transmission power of the planetary gearbox to be blocked, that is, the planetary gearbox is in a locked state; if the current clutch combination is different from the clutch combination included in the clutch combination whitelist, and the number of clutches included in the current clutch combination is greater than the maximum clutch number threshold, that is, the number of clutches included in the current clutch combination is greater than the maximum number of clutches combined with the planetary gearbox, and the current clutch combination is not due to insufficient constraints. The situation that the gear cannot be formed, then it means that the planetary gearbox has too many constraints, which will cause the transmission power of the planetary gearbox to be blocked, that is, the planetary gearbox is in a locked state. Therefore, by detecting the current clutch combination and judging its relationship with the clutch combination blacklist and the clutch combination whitelist, it is possible to quickly detect whether the planetary gear is in a locked state, so as to avoid the risk of non-driver-expected deceleration due to power transmission interruption.

[0098] In addition to the planetary gear detection method provided in the embodiment of the present application, a planetary gear detection device is also provided, such as Figure 2 As shown, it includes: an acquisition unit 201, a detection unit 202 and a determination unit 203;

[0099] The acquisition unit 201 is used to acquire a clutch combination blacklist and a clutch combination whitelist, wherein the clutch combination blacklist includes clutch combinations that block the output end of the planetary gear train and cannot form a gear, and the clutch combination whitelist includes clutch combinations that block the input end of the planetary gear train and cannot form a gear;

[0100] The detection unit 202 is used to detect the combination state of each clutch and the planetary gear, and obtain a current clutch combination, wherein the current clutch combination includes a clutch combined with the planetary gear;

[0101] The determination unit 203 is used to determine that the planetary gear set is in a locked state if the current clutch combination is the same as the clutch combination included in the clutch combination blacklist, or if the current clutch combination is different from the clutch combination included in the clutch combination whitelist, and the number of clutches included in the current clutch combination is greater than the clutch maximum number threshold, and the clutch maximum number threshold is the maximum number of clutches combined with the planetary gear set.

[0102] It can be known from the above technical solution that a clutch combination blacklist and a clutch combination whitelist are obtained, wherein the clutch combination included in the clutch combination blacklist blocks the output end of the planetary gearbox and cannot form a gear, and the clutch combination included in the clutch combination whitelist blocks the input end of the planetary gearbox and cannot form a gear. The combination state of each clutch and the planetary gearbox is detected, and the clutch combined with the planetary gearbox is determined as the current clutch combination. If the current clutch combination is the same as the clutch combination included in the clutch combination blacklist, it means that the planetary gearbox has too many constraints, which will cause the transmission power of the planetary gearbox to be blocked, that is, the planetary gearbox is in a locked state; if the current clutch combination is different from the clutch combination included in the clutch combination whitelist, and the number of clutches included in the current clutch combination is greater than the maximum clutch number threshold, that is, the number of clutches included in the current clutch combination is greater than the maximum number of clutches combined with the planetary gearbox, and the current clutch combination is not due to insufficient constraints. The situation that the gear cannot be formed, then it means that the planetary gearbox has too many constraints, which will cause the transmission power of the planetary gearbox to be blocked, that is, the planetary gearbox is in a locked state. Therefore, by detecting the current clutch combination and judging its relationship with the clutch combination blacklist and the clutch combination whitelist, it is possible to quickly detect whether the planetary gear is in a locked state, so as to avoid the risk of non-driver-expected deceleration due to power transmission interruption.

[0105] If the current clutch combination is different from the clutch combinations included in the clutch combination whitelist, the number of clutches included in the current clutch combination is greater than the maximum clutch number threshold, and the holding time of the current clutch combination exceeds the first time threshold, it is determined that the planetary gear is in a locked state.

[0106] As a possible implementation manner, the detection unit 202 is specifically configured to:
