Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle parameter calculation, and in particular to a method, system, device and storage medium for calculating TB activation time of a pneumatic AMT vehicle. Background Art

[0002] For pneumatic AMT transmissions, the shift control logic of the entire system is issued by the TCU operation. During the shifting process, the engine is first controlled to reduce torque, the clutch is disengaged, and then the shifting operation is performed. After the shifting is completed, the clutch is engaged, and finally the torque is returned. Among them, the shifting operation includes returning to idle, TB braking and shifting. TB is the countershaft brake. In this process, after returning to idle, it is necessary to wait for the input shaft speed to drop to the appropriate size before shifting. The TB braking can quickly reduce the input shaft speed to meet the shifting window, that is, the speed difference between the main shaft sleeve inside the transmission and the target gear gear, thereby greatly shortening the time from returning to idle to shifting.

[0003] The gearbox shifting is a key part of the entire gear shifting action. The speed difference during gear shifting should not be too large or too small. If the gear shifting timing is unreasonable, a large speed difference during gear shifting will cause the gearbox to hit the gears and damage the gears, while a small speed difference will cause the gears to hit the gears, causing the secondary gear shifting and increasing the gear shifting time. The pneumatic AMT gearbox actuator relies on the air pressure difference to operate. Due to the compressibility of air, there is still a certain braking slope after the TB valve is closed, which has a great impact on the change of the speed difference. In addition, there is a certain delay from activating the gear solenoid valve to the actuator action. Therefore, the calculation of the TB activation time of the pneumatic AMT gearbox should be closely related to the speed difference when the gear solenoid valve is engaged. An unreasonable TB activation time will cause gears to hit the gears or engage with a negative speed difference, resulting in poor gear shifting comfort.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a TB activation time calculation method, system, device and storage medium for a pneumatic AMT vehicle to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0051] Example:

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for calculating the TB activation time of a pneumatic AMT vehicle, comprising the following steps:

[0053] S1: TB test on a gearbox bench, recording the TB slope at different TB lifespans and gearbox temperatures; the different TB lifespans are 0 to 600,000 times, and the gearbox temperature is 25 to 60 degrees;

[0054] S2: TB slope calculation, the final TB slope is obtained by weighting the change rate of the actual speed signal and the TB slope of the bench test;

[0055] S3: Estimation of the gear shift window, which is to calculate the gear shift window of the pneumatic shift mechanism according to the speed difference required for the actual gear shifting of the internal sleeve of the gearbox; the speed difference is obtained based on actual testing and experience calibration;

[0056] S4: TB activation time calculation, the TB activation time is calculated according to the estimated gear-in window and the final TB slope.

[0057] The gearbox bench TB test is measured according to certain test methods, such as Figure 2 As shown, the specific process is as follows:

[0058] The gearbox is mounted on the test bench in a rear-drive mode, with the output shaft driven by the motor;

[0059] The room temperature of the gearbox is 25 degrees, the motor is set to 30 to 40 rpm according to the actual situation, and the gearbox is in first gear;

[0060] Increase the motor speed according to the first gear ratio, so that the input shaft speed is increased to 2000r / min;

[0061] Activate the gear position and return to empty position. Return to empty position and activate the TB solenoid valve at the same time. The activation time is 150ms.

[0062] The input shaft speed reduction is collected 100ms after TB activation, and the TB slope is calculated.

[0063] The motor speed was reduced to 30 to 40 rpm, and the test was repeated 5 times to calculate the average TB slope.

[0064] After the room temperature test is completed, the gearbox is heated to 60 degrees and the TB slope at 60 degrees is tested;

[0065] According to the above test process, the TB slope of the TB friction plate is tested from 0 to 600,000 times, and the test is performed every 100,000 times, and the test results are recorded.

[0066] In this embodiment, the TB slope calculation includes:

[0067] Input the gearbox oil temperature and the current TB life times, and use the linear interpolation method to look up the table to obtain the gearbox test bench TB slope Ngrdt0;

[0068] Obtain the speed sensor signal and use the average value method to calculate the current input shaft speed slope Ngrdt;

[0069] The gearbox bench TB slope and the current input shaft speed slope are weighted and summed to obtain the final TB slope Ngrdtl:

[0070] Ngrdtl=ω*Ngrdt0+(1-ω)*Ngrdt

[0071] The weight ω is obtained by looking up a two-dimensional table, the input is the transmission oil temperature and the TB activation time, and the output is obtained by calibration based on the empirical method.

[0084]

[0085] Among them, t1 is the residual braking time after the TB ends, which can be calibrated to a specific value according to the actual TB valve test conditions.
