Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automatic transmission control, and in particular to an intermediate shaft brake control method, device, computer equipment, storage medium and computer program product. Background Art

[0002] In modern automated mechanical transmissions (AMTs), the coordination and control of gear shifting operations are crucial, directly impacting vehicle performance, fuel economy, and driving comfort. Sliding sleeve shifting technology has been widely adopted in AMTs, ensuring smooth and precise shifting through dynamic adjustments such as effective engine torque reduction, clutch disengagement, and gear shifting. Strictly controlling the shift speed differential during the shift process is key to minimizing shift noise and shock. This requires precise coordination of numerous parameters, particularly the intermediate shaft speed reduction preset value and the shift-up loss time.

[0003] The intermediate shaft brake locks and rapidly decelerates the intermediate shaft during the shift process, quickly adjusting the intermediate shaft speed to the predetermined target speed for the shift, enhancing shifting smoothness and responsiveness. The intermediate shaft brake is pneumatically controlled, which exhibits significant time lag. Improper intermediate shaft brake control can result in prolonged braking or over-braking, impacting shifting performance and the vehicle's driving experience. Therefore, proper control of the intermediate shaft brake is crucial.

[0004] In conventional technology, the intermediate shaft brake is controlled based on energy consumption data of the intermediate shaft brake and a target intermediate shaft speed.

[0060] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0061] The intermediate shaft brake control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1 In the application environment shown, terminal 102 communicates with server 104 via a network. A data storage system can store data that server 104 needs to process. The data storage system can be integrated with server 104, or located on a cloud or other network server. Terminal 102 sends an intermediate shaft brake control request to server 104. Server 104 receives the intermediate shaft brake control request and determines a torque-building speed reduction value during the torque-building response phase based on a first intermediate shaft speed reduction rate during the initial brake phase and a second intermediate shaft speed reduction rate during the brake application phase. It also determines a release speed reduction value corresponding to the brake release phase and a release speed reduction value corresponding to the complete brake release phase. Furthermore, it determines a theoretical braking speed difference during the maximum braking speed reduction phase based on the intermediate shaft's initial speed, target speed, torque-building speed reduction value, release speed reduction value, and release speed reduction value. Brakes are controlled based on this theoretical braking speed difference, the measured braking speed difference during the maximum braking speed reduction phase, and a target time array. Terminal 102 can be, but is not limited to, various vehicles such as automobiles, motorcycles, and aircraft. Server 104 can be implemented as a standalone server or a server cluster consisting of multiple servers.

[0062] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a method for controlling an intermediate shaft brake is provided, which is applied to Figure 1 The server in the example is used to illustrate the process, including the following steps 202 to 208.

[0063] Step 202 : Determine a torque building speed reduction value in a torque building response phase according to a first intermediate shaft speed reduction rate in an initial brake phase and a second intermediate shaft speed reduction rate in a brake opening phase.

[0064] The brake initialization phase refers to the period after the clutch is fully disengaged and before the intermediate shaft brake is applied. The first intermediate shaft deceleration rate refers to the rate at which the intermediate shaft speed decreases after the clutch is disengaged and no braking force is applied (before the intermediate shaft brake is applied). This first intermediate shaft deceleration rate represents the natural deceleration capacity of the intermediate shaft when not under the influence of the brake. The brake application phase refers to the period after the intermediate shaft brake is applied. The second intermediate shaft deceleration rate refers to the rate at which the intermediate shaft speed decreases after the intermediate shaft brake is applied. This second intermediate shaft deceleration rate is affected by the braking strength of the brake. The torque buildup response phase refers to the period from the application of the intermediate shaft brake to the establishment of maximum braking capacity.

[0065] For example, in an operating state where the clutch is disengaged and the brake has not yet been applied, the free deceleration rate of the intermediate shaft is calculated by obtaining the intermediate shaft speed values ​​in the first few cycles before the intermediate shaft brake is applied, thereby obtaining a first intermediate shaft deceleration rate. The intermediate shaft speed value after the intermediate shaft brake is applied is obtained. The intermediate shaft speed value refers to the actual intermediate shaft speed after the brake is applied. The second intermediate shaft deceleration rate refers to the rate of change of the intermediate shaft speed value over time after the brake is applied (the brake application phase). This second intermediate shaft deceleration rate can be calculated using the first intermediate shaft deceleration rate during the initial brake application phase and the intermediate shaft speed value during the brake application phase.

[0066] The torque-building speed reduction value during the torque-building response phase is determined based on the first intermediate shaft speed reduction rate and the second intermediate shaft speed reduction rate. For example, the intermediate shaft speed value for the last cycle of the initial braking phase is determined based on the first intermediate shaft speed reduction rate, and this value is recorded as the intermediate shaft speed value at the start of braking. The second intermediate shaft speed reduction rate is determined based on the intermediate shaft speed value at the start of braking and the intermediate shaft speed value during the brake application phase. The torque-building response time consumed during the maximum braking capacity establishment phase is obtained, and the intermediate shaft speed reduction value during the maximum braking capacity establishment phase is determined based on this torque-building response time and the second intermediate shaft speed reduction rate, i.e., the torque-building speed reduction value during the torque-building response phase is determined.

[0067] Step 204 : determining a release speed drop value corresponding to the brake release phase and a release speed drop value corresponding to the brake complete release phase.

[0068] The brake release phase refers to the phase in which the intermediate shaft brake is released. Optionally, the intermediate shaft brake release phase can be the period from when the intermediate shaft brake intake valve closes to when the intermediate shaft brake is completely released. The complete brake release phase refers to the delay period after the intermediate shaft brake is completely released. It can be the period from when the intermediate shaft brake is completely released to a target delay time, which is set based on actual conditions.

[0069] Exemplarily, a release speed drop value corresponding to the brake release phase and a release speed drop value corresponding to the brake complete release phase are calculated based on the intermediate shaft speed values ​​corresponding to the brake release phase and the brake complete release phase.

[0070] Step 206 , obtaining the initial speed and target speed of the intermediate shaft, and determining the theoretical braking speed difference in the maximum braking deceleration stage based on the initial speed, target speed, establishment speed reduction value, release speed reduction value, and release speed reduction value.

[0071] The target speed refers to the ideal intermediate shaft speed after the brake has applied the brake, and is set based on actual conditions. The initial intermediate shaft speed refers to the intermediate shaft speed at the initial application of the intermediate shaft brake. The maximum braking deceleration phase refers to the phase after the torque buildup phase (after maximum braking capacity is established), during which the intermediate shaft speed is significantly reduced.

[0072] Exemplarily, the theoretical braking speed difference of the maximum braking deceleration stage is determined based on the initial speed, target speed, torque speed drop value, release speed drop value and release speed drop value. The initial speed, target speed, torque speed drop value, release speed drop value and release speed drop value can be processed by operation to obtain the theoretical braking speed difference of the maximum braking deceleration stage. For example, the target deceleration value to which the intermediate shaft can be reduced is determined based on the difference between the initial speed and the target speed; the torque speed drop value, release speed drop value and release speed drop value are summed to obtain the sum of the speed drop values ​​of the remaining stages; the target deceleration value to which the intermediate shaft can be reduced is subtracted from the sum of the speed drop values ​​of the remaining stages to obtain the theoretical braking speed difference of the maximum braking deceleration stage.

[0073] Step 208 : Control the brake according to the theoretical braking speed difference, the measured braking speed difference during the maximum braking deceleration phase, and the target time array.

[0074] The measured braking speed difference during the maximum deceleration phase of braking refers to the braking speed difference actually measured during the maximum deceleration phase of braking. Exemplarily, the measured braking speed difference during the maximum deceleration phase of braking is determined based on the actually measured intermediate shaft speed value at the start of the maximum deceleration phase and the actually measured intermediate shaft speed value at the end of the maximum deceleration phase.

[0075] Optionally, whether to terminate the control of the intermediate shaft brake is determined based on the theoretical braking speed difference, the actually measured braking speed difference in the maximum braking deceleration stage, and the target time array.

[0076] The aforementioned intermediate shaft brake control method incorporates the release speed drop value corresponding to the brake release phase, the release speed drop value corresponding to the complete brake release phase, and the target time array, enabling accurate and rational control of the intermediate shaft brake. By calculating the theoretical and measured brake speed differences, the system's braking performance can be clearly evaluated. Comparing the theoretical and measured brake speed differences can determine whether the measured brake speed difference meets the speed difference required for smooth gear shifting, thereby improving intermediate shaft brake control accuracy and, consequently, shift timing rationality.

[0077] In an exemplary embodiment, controlling the brake based on the theoretical braking speed difference, the measured braking speed difference during the maximum braking deceleration phase, and the target time array includes: determining a complete braking release time based on the target time array; when the measured braking speed difference is greater than the theoretical braking speed difference, comparing the complete braking release time with a braking release time threshold; and when the complete braking release time is greater than the braking release time threshold, controlling the brake to complete braking.

[0078] Among them, the target time array is the updated inflation time array of the intermediate shaft brake, which may include time data of the brake initial stage, time data of the brake opening stage, time data of the maximum deceleration stage, time data of the brake complete release stage, etc.

[0079] The measured braking speed difference during the maximum deceleration phase is compared with the theoretical braking speed difference during the maximum deceleration phase. If the measured braking speed difference during the maximum deceleration phase is greater than the theoretical braking speed difference during the maximum deceleration phase, a determination is made as to whether the complete brake release time is greater than a brake release time threshold. If so, the brake is controlled to complete braking. The brake release time threshold is set based on actual conditions.

[0080] In the previous exemplary embodiment, the method also includes: when the measured braking speed difference is less than or equal to the theoretical braking speed difference, re-determining the release speed drop value corresponding to the brake release stage and the release speed drop value corresponding to the brake complete release stage, and obtaining an updated release speed drop value and an updated release speed drop value; determining the updated theoretical braking speed difference in the maximum braking deceleration stage according to the initial speed, target speed, torque reduction value, updated release speed drop value and updated release speed drop value, and obtaining an updated theoretical braking speed difference; when the measured braking speed difference is greater than the updated theoretical braking speed difference, comparing the complete braking time with the braking time threshold; when the complete braking time is greater than the braking time threshold, controlling the brake to complete braking.

[0081] The measured braking speed difference during the maximum deceleration phase is compared with the theoretical braking speed difference during the maximum deceleration phase. When the measured braking speed difference during the maximum deceleration phase is less than or equal to the theoretical braking speed difference during the maximum deceleration phase, the release speed drop value corresponding to the brake release phase and the release speed drop value corresponding to the complete brake release phase are again obtained to obtain updated release speed drop values ​​and updated release speed drop values. The theoretical braking speed difference during the maximum deceleration phase is updated based on the updated release speed drop values ​​and updated release speed drop values ​​to obtain an updated theoretical braking speed difference.

[0082] If the measured braking speed difference during the maximum deceleration phase is greater than the updated theoretical braking speed difference, the complete brake release time is compared with the brake release time threshold. Otherwise, the release speed drop value corresponding to the brake release phase and the release speed drop value corresponding to the complete brake release phase are continuously obtained and updated. If the measured braking speed difference during the maximum deceleration phase is greater than the updated theoretical braking speed difference, and the complete brake release time is greater than the brake release time threshold, the brake is controlled to complete braking, and the transmission shifts into gear.

[0083] In one exemplary embodiment, the complete brake release time is determined based on a target time array. When the measured brake speed difference is greater than the theoretical brake speed difference, the complete brake release time is compared with a brake release time threshold. When the complete brake release time is less than or equal to the brake release time threshold, the complete brake release time is re-acquired to obtain an updated complete brake release time, and the brake release speed reduction value is re-determined based on the updated complete brake release time. Based on the re-determined brake release speed reduction value, the theoretical brake speed difference for the corresponding maximum braking deceleration stage is obtained. When the measured brake speed difference for the maximum braking deceleration stage is greater than the theoretical brake speed difference for the corresponding maximum braking deceleration stage corresponding to the re-determined brake release speed reduction value, and the updated complete brake release time is greater than the brake release time threshold, the brake is controlled to complete braking and the transmission shifts into gear. Otherwise, the complete brake release time is re-acquired.

[0084] In this embodiment, the measured braking speed difference during the maximum deceleration phase is compared with the theoretical braking speed difference during the maximum deceleration phase, and the brake is controlled to ensure that the intermediate shaft speed changes within the expected range during gear shifts, thereby reducing shift shock. By determining whether the complete brake release time exceeds the brake release time threshold, the brake is released at the appropriate time, avoiding premature brake release and the resulting shift failure.

[0085] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, determining the release speed drop value corresponding to the brake release phase and the release speed drop value corresponding to the brake complete release phase includes steps 302 to 306.

[0086] Step 302 : determining the time data corresponding to the brake release phase and the time data corresponding to the brake complete release phase according to the target time array.

[0087] Step 304 : Acquire a first intermediate shaft speed value corresponding to the brake release phase and a second intermediate shaft speed value corresponding to the brake complete release phase.

[0088] Step 306, determining the release speed drop value corresponding to the brake release stage based on the first intermediate shaft speed value and the time data corresponding to the brake release stage; determining the release speed drop value corresponding to the brake complete release stage based on the first intermediate shaft speed value and the time data corresponding to the brake complete release stage.

[0089] For example, when the intermediate shaft brake intake valve closes, preventing further air from entering the brake and thus preventing overpressure, the exhaust valve simultaneously opens, releasing pressure within the brake. This process signals the beginning of the intermediate shaft brake release, i.e., the brake release phase. The intermediate shaft speed value during the brake release phase is obtained and recorded as the first intermediate shaft speed value. The intermediate shaft speed change rate during the brake release phase is calculated based on the first intermediate shaft speed values ​​corresponding to different moments during the brake release phase. Time data corresponding to the brake release phase is determined based on the target time array. This time data corresponding to the brake release phase may include a time range value for the brake release phase. The time range value for the brake release phase and the intermediate shaft speed change rate during the brake release phase are then processed to obtain a release speed drop value corresponding to the brake release phase.

[0090] The complete brake release phase is the delay period after the intermediate shaft brake is completely released, specifically the time interval between the moment the intermediate shaft brake is completely released and the time when gear shifting is ready. The intermediate shaft speed value during the complete brake release phase is obtained and recorded as the second intermediate shaft speed value. The intermediate shaft speed change rate during the complete brake release phase is calculated based on the second intermediate shaft speed values ​​corresponding to different moments during the complete brake release phase. Time data corresponding to the complete brake release phase is determined based on the target time array. This time data corresponding to the complete brake release phase may include a time range value for the complete brake release phase. The time range value for the complete brake release phase and the intermediate shaft speed change rate during the complete brake release phase are then processed to obtain a release speed drop value corresponding to the complete brake release phase.

[0091] In this embodiment, the intermediate shaft speed may still change during the delay period (complete release stage) after the intermediate shaft brake is completely released. Determining the second intermediate shaft speed value in the complete release stage and the intermediate shaft speed change rate in the complete release stage can optimize the control of the intermediate shaft brake and the timing of gear shifting, thereby reducing the occurrence of gear shifting noise and gear shifting shock caused by incorrect judgment of the gear speed difference.

[0092] In an exemplary embodiment, before determining the torque building speed reduction value in the torque building response stage based on the first intermediate shaft speed reduction rate in the initial stage of the brake and the second intermediate shaft speed reduction rate in the brake opening stage, the method further includes: obtaining first transmission oil temperature and first air pressure data at the initial moment of the brake, and determining an initial charging time array based on the first transmission oil temperature, the first air pressure data, and the target speed; obtaining second transmission oil temperature and second air pressure data in the initial stage of the brake, and updating the initial charging time array based on the second transmission oil temperature, the second air pressure data, and the target speed change rate to obtain a target time array.

[0093] For example, the first transmission oil temperature refers to the temperature of the transmission fluid at the time of braking initiation, which can be monitored by an over-temperature sensor. The first air pressure data refers to the GSU (Gas Pressure Monitoring Unit) air pressure value at the time of braking initiation. The target speed of the intermediate shaft is determined based on the intermediate shaft speed at the time of braking initiation, the current transmission gear, the target transmission gear, the road grade, the vehicle mass, and the vehicle's operating resistance. Furthermore, an initial inflation time array is determined based on the first transmission oil temperature, the first air pressure data, and the target speed.

[0094] The transmission internal oil temperature and GSU air pressure values ​​are obtained after the clutch is fully disengaged and before the intermediate shaft brake is charged (i.e., in the initial braking phase) during the hilly driving condition. The second transmission oil temperature and second air pressure data are obtained. The initial charging time array is updated based on the second transmission oil temperature, second air pressure data, and the target speed change rate to obtain a new intermediate shaft brake charging time array, i.e., the target time array. The target speed change rate is related to the speed loss caused by the hilly driving condition.

[0095] In this embodiment, during an uphill descent, the output shaft speed will be affected by the slope, and thus the intermediate shaft speed. Specifically, under slope conditions, the vehicle's operating state and power demand may vary significantly. Therefore, real-time data such as the second transmission oil temperature, second air pressure, and target speed change rate acquired after the clutch is fully disengaged (in the initial braking phase) during the slope condition ensures that the new intermediate shaft brake inflation time array (target time array) matches the current vehicle state. This, in turn, ensures precise control of the intermediate shaft brake under varying operating conditions, thereby achieving smooth gear shifting and effective braking.

[0096] In the previous exemplary embodiment, the method also includes: determining the intermediate shaft speed change rate compensation value based on the transmission speed ratio data and the output shaft speed data corresponding to the initial stage; determining the intermediate shaft speed change rate reference value based on the transmission target gear data and slip data; and performing calculations on the intermediate shaft speed change rate compensation value and the intermediate shaft speed change rate reference value to obtain the target speed change rate.

[0097] The transmission speed ratio data includes the target gear ratio and the target front-end ratio. The slip data refers to the dog slip reduction value. Dog slip refers to the amount of slippage caused by the relative speed difference between the gears (dog teeth) when they engage during a gear shift. The dog slip reduction value indicates the degree to which dog slip is reduced during the shift. The intermediate shaft speed change rate reference value is the target intermediate shaft speed change rate under specific operating conditions.

[0098] For example, when a vehicle is operating on a slope or under other special operating conditions, the output shaft speed may vary. This change in output shaft speed can lead to insufficient intermediate shaft speed, thus affecting shifting performance. To compensate for this insufficient intermediate shaft speed caused by the output shaft speed change and ensure that the intermediate shaft speed change rate can adapt to the current operating conditions, compensation is required to reduce shift shock and noise caused by speed mismatch and improve driving comfort.

[0099] Optionally, the output shaft speed value is obtained for several cycles after the clutch is fully disengaged during a hilly driving condition (i.e., during the initial braking phase). The intermediate shaft speed loss caused by the output shaft speed change is determined based on the output shaft speed value and the transmission speed ratio data. A compensation value for the intermediate shaft speed change rate is determined based on the determined intermediate shaft speed loss. For example, the compensation value is determined based on the intermediate shaft speed loss and a pre-set compensation model, or based on the intermediate shaft speed loss and a pre-set compensation coefficient. Determining the intermediate shaft speed change rate compensation value can reduce shift shock and noise caused by speed mismatch, improving driving comfort. It also ensures that the intermediate shaft speed remains within a reasonable range during intermediate shaft power transmission, avoiding power loss and improving overall vehicle performance. A relationship between the transmission target gear data and slip data can be established, and a reference value for the intermediate shaft speed change rate is determined based on this relationship.

[0100] In this embodiment, determining the intermediate shaft speed change rate compensation value can reduce shift shock and noise caused by speed mismatch, improving driving comfort. It also ensures that the intermediate shaft speed remains within a reasonable range during intermediate shaft power transmission, preventing power loss and enhancing overall vehicle performance. Furthermore, by dynamically adjusting the target speed change rate based on the intermediate shaft speed change rate compensation value and the intermediate shaft speed change rate reference value, the initial inflation time array of the intermediate shaft brake can be further adjusted.

[0101] In another embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, a method for controlling an intermediate shaft brake is provided, which includes the following steps 1 to 13. In which:

[0102] Step 1: Determine the target speed of the intermediate shaft based on the intermediate shaft speed at the time of brake application, the current transmission gear, the target transmission gear, the road gradient, the vehicle mass, and the vehicle's operating resistance. Then, determine the initial inflation time array based on the first transmission oil temperature, the first air pressure data, and the target speed.

[0103] Step 2: Determine the intermediate shaft speed change rate compensation value based on the transmission speed ratio data and the output shaft speed data corresponding to the initial stage; determine the intermediate shaft speed change rate reference value based on the transmission target gear data and slip data; and calculate and process the intermediate shaft speed change rate compensation value and the intermediate shaft speed change rate reference value to obtain the target speed change rate.

[0104] Step 3: Obtain the second transmission oil temperature and second air pressure data in the initial stage of the brake, and update the initial inflation time array according to the second transmission oil temperature, the second air pressure data and the target speed change rate to obtain a target time array.

[0105] Step 4: Open the intermediate shaft brake inlet valve and close the intermediate shaft brake exhaust valve at the same time.

[0106] Step 5: Determine the torque building speed reduction value in the torque building response phase according to the first intermediate shaft speed reduction rate in the brake initial phase and the second intermediate shaft speed reduction rate in the brake opening phase.

[0107] Step 6: Obtain a preset stable braking speed difference during the maximum deceleration rate phase of the intermediate shaft, and decelerate the intermediate shaft.

[0108] Step 7: The intermediate shaft brake intake valve is closed and the exhaust valve is opened.

[0109] Step 8: Determine the time data corresponding to the brake release phase according to the target time array, and obtain the first intermediate shaft speed value corresponding to the brake release phase; determine the release speed drop value corresponding to the brake release phase according to the first intermediate shaft speed value and the time data corresponding to the brake release phase.

[0110] Step 9: Determine the time data corresponding to the complete brake release stage based on the target time array, and obtain the second intermediate shaft speed value corresponding to the complete brake release stage; determine the release speed drop value corresponding to the complete brake release stage based on the second intermediate shaft speed value and the time data corresponding to the complete brake release stage; wherein, the time data corresponding to the complete brake release stage includes the complete brake release time T.

[0111] Step 10: Determine the theoretical braking speed difference in the maximum braking speed reduction stage according to the initial speed, target speed, torque creation speed reduction value, release speed reduction value, and release speed reduction value of the intermediate value.

[0112] Step 11: Determine whether the measured braking speed difference delta(nmax1) during the maximum braking deceleration phase is greater than the theoretical braking speed difference delta(nmax) during the maximum braking deceleration phase. If delta(nmax1)>delta(nmax), proceed to step 12; if not, proceed to step 7.

[0113] Step 12: Determine whether the complete brake release time T is greater than the brake release time threshold T0. If T>T0, proceed to step 13; if not, proceed to step 9.

[0114] Step 13, controlling the brake to complete braking, and the transmission to shift gears.

[0115] In this embodiment, when the vehicle is ascending an incline, the output shaft speed is affected by the slope, and thus the intermediate shaft speed. Specifically, the vehicle's operating state and power demand may vary significantly under incline conditions. Therefore, real-time data, such as the second transmission oil temperature, second air pressure, and target speed change rate, acquired after the clutch is fully disengaged (in the initial braking phase) during incline conditions, ensures that the intermediate shaft brake's new charge time array (target time array) matches the current vehicle state. This in turn ensures precise control of the intermediate shaft brake under various operating conditions, achieving smooth shifting and effective braking. During the delay period after the intermediate shaft brake is fully released (the full release phase), the intermediate shaft speed may also vary. Determining the second intermediate shaft speed value and the intermediate shaft speed change rate during the full release phase optimizes intermediate shaft brake control and shift timing, reducing shift noise and shift shock caused by misjudgment of the incoming gear speed difference. By comparing the measured braking speed difference during the maximum deceleration phase with the theoretical braking speed difference during the maximum deceleration phase and controlling the brakes, we can ensure that the intermediate shaft speed changes within the expected range during gear shifts, reducing shift shock. By determining whether the complete brake release time exceeds the brake release time threshold, we ensure that the brakes are released at the appropriate time, avoiding premature brake release and the resulting shift failure.
