Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of driver assistance technology, and specifically to a transmission shift control method, system, device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) achieves continuously variable speeds by using a constantly changing gear ratio, revolutionizing the fixed gear ratio mode of traditional transmissions. The core of a CVT lies in its power transmission mechanism, which uses a pair of conical pulleys and a steel belt or chain to achieve smooth power delivery. This design allows CVT transmissions to provide a smooth acceleration experience during driving, eliminating the jerky shifts of traditional transmissions. CVT transmissions can deliver power smoothly based on the driver's intentions and vehicle driving conditions.

[0003] While CVT transmissions are favored for their smoothness and fuel economy, they also present some challenges in practical use. First, CVT transmissions may slip under high torque, especially during rapid acceleration or overtaking, potentially leading to belt breakage or conical pulley wear, thus affecting the transmission's lifespan. Second, the oil supply lines to the solenoid valves in CVT transmissions are prone to leakage due to wear. Insufficient oil supply directly affects the solenoid valve's oil pressure regulation, resulting in limited or abnormal acceleration performance, or even acceleration shuddering and abnormal noises. For vehicles with variable operating conditions, such as large agricultural tractors, CVT transmissions frequently shift gears. Prolonged operation can cause changes in the electrical parameters of the clutch solenoid valves, and there are also inconsistencies in solenoid valve compatibility. This means that the same parameters may not be applicable to all transmissions, leading to insufficient clutch lubrication or pressure fluctuations in some vehicles. Ultimately, this manifests as jerking, uncomfortable shift points, and an inability to fully realize the advantages of continuously variable transmissions. Summary of the Invention

[0056] Figure 1 This application illustrates a gearbox shift control method according to an embodiment of the present application. The method includes:

[0057] Step 101: In response to the shift command, open the solenoid valve to allow oil to flow into the clutch;

[0058] Step 102: Adjust the current according to the real-time monitored clutch oil pressure to control the oil filling amount;

[0059] Step 103: When the oil filling amount reaches the preset value and the pre-filling time ends, control the current to the set pressure to maintain the required current;

[0060] Step 104: Enter the overlap phase, control the actual oil pressure of the clutch according to the vehicle load and torque data, and complete the gear shift;

[0061] Step 105: Determine the pre-charge time compensation value for the next gear shift by comparing the actual oil pressure of the clutch with the preset required oil pressure.

[0062] In one possible implementation, step 101, opening the solenoid valve to allow oil to flow into the clutch, includes:

[0063] During the pre-charge phase, a current pulse is applied to open the solenoid valve, allowing oil to flow into the clutch and generating oil pressure.

[0064] By controlling the opening of the solenoid valve with an electrical pulse, a rapid response to clutch oil pressure can be achieved, which is crucial for improving shift speed and reducing shift delay. The application of the electrical pulse can precisely control the opening degree of the solenoid valve, thereby precisely controlling the amount of oil flowing into the clutch and ensuring accurate oil pressure establishment.

[0065] Imagine a car driving on a city road. The driver needs to shift from a low gear to a high gear to accelerate and overtake. In step 101, when the shift command is issued, the system quickly enters the pre-charge phase. At this time, by applying a current pulse, the solenoid valve opens rapidly, and oil flows quickly into the clutch, quickly building up the required oil pressure. This rapid response ensures that the shift can be completed quickly and smoothly, with the driver feeling almost no shock or delay, thus enabling safer and more efficient overtaking maneuvers. Simultaneously, this fast and precise control also helps reduce fuel waste caused by improper shifting, improving the vehicle's overall fuel economy. Furthermore, because the shock during shifting is reduced, clutch wear is correspondingly reduced, thereby lowering maintenance costs and extending the clutch's lifespan.

[0066] In one possible implementation, step 102, adjusting the current based on real-time monitored clutch oil pressure to control the oil filling amount, includes:

[0067] Real-time monitoring of clutch oil pressure; when the clutch oil pressure reaches the preset pre-charge pressure value, the current passing through the solenoid valve is controlled according to the preset pre-charge current curve, so that the current is adjusted from the current pulse state to the pre-charge demand current, thereby controlling the amount of oil added.

[0068] By monitoring the clutch oil pressure in real time and adjusting the current according to the preset pre-charge pressure value, the oil pressure can be precisely controlled to reach the required level, avoiding excessively high or low pressure. By controlling the current according to the preset pre-charge current curve, the current can be smoothly adjusted from the current pulse state to the pre-charge demand current, which helps optimize the oil filling process, reduce oil waste, and shorten the system response time.

[0069] In step 102, the system monitors the clutch oil pressure in real time. When the oil pressure reaches the preset pre-charge pressure value, the system adjusts the current through the solenoid valve according to the preset pre-charge current curve. This means that the current smoothly adjusts from the initial current pulse state to the pre-charge required current to control the amount of oil charged. This control ensures precise establishment of clutch oil pressure, making the gear shifting process quick and smooth, with the driver feeling almost no impact. Furthermore, this precise control helps reduce fuel waste caused by improper oil pressure control, improving the overall fuel economy of the vehicle. Simultaneously, by reducing oil pressure fluctuations and clutch wear, clutch maintenance costs are reduced, and its service life is extended.

[0070] In one possible implementation, step 104, controlling the actual clutch oil pressure based on vehicle load and torque data to complete gear shifting, includes:

[0071] Based on the monitored vehicle load and torque data, and referring to the pre-set pressure rise curve, the required oil pressure change curve for the clutch during the overlap phase is determined; the oil flow to the clutch is adjusted according to the oil pressure change curve to ensure that the actual oil pressure of the clutch changes according to the oil pressure change curve; the clutch is engaged by controlling the current of the solenoid valve; when the clutch is fully engaged and the actual oil pressure of the clutch stabilizes at the required level, the gear shift is completed.

[0072] Dynamically adjusting the hydraulic pressure based on vehicle load and torque data reduces shocks and vibrations during gear shifts, improving driving comfort. Precise control of the hydraulic pressure variation curve ensures that the actual clutch hydraulic pressure matches the required pressure, improving shift accuracy. Controlling the current to the solenoid valve achieves clutch engagement, ensuring continuous and efficient power transmission.

[0073] In step 104, the system monitors vehicle load and torque data and, referring to a pre-set pressure rise curve, determines the required oil pressure change curve for the clutch during the overlap phase. The system adjusts the oil flow to the clutch according to this oil pressure change curve, ensuring the actual clutch oil pressure changes according to the predetermined curve. By controlling the current of the solenoid valve, the system achieves clutch engagement. The shift is completed when the clutch is fully engaged and the actual oil pressure stabilizes at the required level. For example, if the vehicle is climbing a hill under heavy load, the system recognizes the need for higher oil pressure to ensure smooth clutch engagement. The system adjusts the oil pressure change curve based on load and torque data and achieves this oil pressure change by controlling the current of the solenoid valve. This ensures smoothness and accuracy of the shifting process even under varying loads, avoiding shift failures or vehicle vibration due to insufficient oil pressure. This dynamic oil pressure adjustment method helps improve driving comfort, reduce energy loss, improve fuel economy, and extend clutch life.

[0074] In one possible implementation, step 105, determining the pre-charge time compensation value for the next gear shift based on the actual clutch oil pressure and the preset required oil pressure, includes:

[0075] The pressure integral ratio at each time point is obtained based on the actual oil pressure of the clutch and the preset required oil pressure; the minimum value among all pressure integral ratios is compared with a preset threshold; if the minimum value is less than the preset threshold, the precharge time compensation value for the next gear shift is determined.

[0076] In one possible implementation, the pressure integral ratio at each time point is obtained based on the actual oil pressure of the clutch and the preset required oil pressure, including:

[0077] The actual oil pressure of the clutch is monitored in real time; the actual oil pressure is integrated with time to obtain the actual oil pressure integral; the ratio of the actual oil pressure integral to the required pressure integral at each time point is calculated to obtain the pressure integral ratio at each time point; the required pressure integral is the integral of the oil pressure change over time as preset according to the clutch attributes and shifting requirements.

[0078] In one possible implementation, determining the precharge time compensation value for the next gear shift includes:

[0079] If the actual oil pressure of the clutch is lower than the required pressure, calculate the precharge time compensation value that needs to be extended; if the actual oil pressure of the clutch is higher than the required pressure, calculate the precharge time compensation value that needs to be shortened.

[0080] By calculating the pressure integral ratio and comparing the minimum value with a preset threshold, it can be determined whether the pre-charge time needs adjustment, thereby optimizing the shifting process. Dynamically adjusting the pre-charge time based on the difference between the actual and required oil pressure can reduce shifting delays and improve shifting efficiency. Precise control of the pre-charge time can reduce shifting shocks caused by oil pressure mismatch, improving driving comfort.

[0081] In step 105, the system monitors the actual clutch oil pressure in real time and compares it with the preset required oil pressure. The system integrates the actual oil pressure with time to obtain the actual oil pressure integral, and calculates the ratio of the actual oil pressure integral to the required pressure integral at each time point, i.e., the pressure integral ratio. If the minimum pressure integral ratio at a certain time point is found to be lower than a preset threshold, the system determines the compensation value for extending the precharge time during the next gear shift. For example, if the system detects that the actual clutch oil pressure is consistently lower than the required pressure during a certain gear shift cycle, the system calculates the compensation value for extending the precharge time to ensure that the clutch oil pressure can reach the required pressure more quickly during the next gear shift, reducing shift shock. Conversely, if the actual oil pressure is higher than the required pressure, the system calculates the compensation value for shortening the precharge time to avoid shift delay caused by excessive oil pressure. This method of dynamically adjusting the precharge time helps to achieve smoother and more efficient gear shifts under different driving conditions, improving driving comfort and overall vehicle performance.

[0082] By improving the clutch oil filling control strategy of the transmission, the smoothness and comfort of gear shifting are enhanced. The transmission shifting control method provided in this application embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0083] Figure 2 A pressure-time (Pt) plot is displayed to compare the pressure changes during CVT transmission shifts using the new control strategy (solid line) and the original control strategy (dashed line). The horizontal axis (t) represents time, showing the time series during the shift process. The vertical axis (P) represents pressure, showing the pressure changes of the clutch during the shift process. Specifically, it includes the following stages:

[0084] 1. Pre-charge phase: At the start of gear shifting, the new control strategy rapidly opens the solenoid valve by applying a large current pulse, quickly building up pressure. This is represented by the solid line rising rapidly in the graph. In contrast, the original control strategy's rise is relatively slower.

[0085] 2. Pressure Holding Phase: After reaching the preset pressure, the new control strategy reduces the current to the normal pre-charge requirement, and the pressure remains stable. This is represented in the diagram as the solid line remaining horizontal after reaching a certain height. The original control strategy experienced pressure fluctuations during this phase.

[0086] 3. OverLap Phase: After the pre-charge phase, the new control strategy gradually reduces the current to enter the pressure holding phase, reducing pressure fluctuations. This is represented in the diagram as the solid line slowly decreasing after the pre-charge phase. The original control strategy experienced a significant pressure drop during this phase, which could affect shift smoothness.

[0087] 4. Rapid Compression Phase: After the OverLap phase, the new control strategy adjusts the pressure rise curve based on the vehicle load and torque to achieve smooth torque transition. This is represented in the diagram as the solid line rising again after the OverLap phase. The original control strategy might have resulted in pressure rising too quickly or too slowly during this phase.

[0088] As can be seen from the new control strategy provided in this application embodiment, pressure is rapidly established during the pre-charge phase, reducing delays during gear shifts; pressure fluctuations are reduced by gradually decreasing the current during the pressure holding phase; and smoother torque transitions are achieved through dynamic adjustments during the OverLap and rapid compression phases. This has significant advantages in improving the comfort and responsiveness of CVT transmissions during gear shifts. The control strategy for each phase is described below:

[0089] Phase 1: Pulse-type oil filling during clutch pre-charging.

[0090] Step 1: At the start of a gear shift, a large current pulse is applied during the clutch pre-charge phase to quickly open the solenoid valve. The purpose is to rapidly build up the required oil pressure.

[0091] Step 2: Actual pressure detection: When the actual pressure reaches the preset pre-charge pressure value, the current will return from the high current pulse state to the normal pre-charge demand current.

[0092] Phase Two: Dynamic Adjustment of Pre-charged Data.

[0093] Step 1: Pre-charge flow detection: During the pre-charge stage, the system will detect the actual fuel flow in real time.

[0094] Step 2: Precharge time calculation: When the actual traffic reaches the preset precharge traffic, the precharge phase ends and the precharge time is calculated.

[0095] The third stage: the pressure holding stage, during which the current decreases slowly.

[0096] After the pre-charge phase ends, the current will slowly decrease to the current required for the pressure holding phase. This slow decrease helps reduce pressure fluctuations caused by the solenoid valve closing too quickly.

[0097] Phase 4: The pressure rise curve of the OverLap phase.

[0098] During the OverLap phase, the pressure rise curve is obtained by referring to a table based on the vehicle's load and torque. This phase is to ensure that the clutch can engage smoothly during gear shifts.

[0099] Phase 5: Calculation of the ratio of actual pressure to demand pressure.

[0100] Step 1: Ratio Calculation: During the OverLap and rapid compaction phases, calculate the ratio of the actual pressure integral to the required pressure integral.

[0101] The actual pressure integral refers to the integral of the actual clutch oil pressure change over time during gear shifting. This integral is calculated by integrating the oil pressure value over time using a pressure sensor that monitors the oil pressure in real time. It reflects the actual oil pressure changes experienced by the clutch during gear shifting. The demand pressure integral refers to the integral of the ideal oil pressure, preset according to the clutch design and shifting requirements, over time. This demand pressure integral is calculated based on the clutch's operating characteristics and shifting strategy, resulting in an ideal oil pressure change curve. The system calculates the ratio of the actual pressure integral to the demand pressure integral. This ratio is used to assess the degree of matching between the actual and ideal oil pressures. If the ratio deviates from 1, it indicates a discrepancy between the actual and demand oil pressures.

[0102] Step 2: Minimum value detection: If the minimum value of this ratio is less than the set threshold, the system will compensate for the oil filling time to adapt to different working conditions.

[0103] If the minimum value of the ratio is less than a set threshold, the system will perform intelligent compensation. This may involve adjusting the precharge time to optimize shift smoothness. For example, if the actual pressure is lower than the required pressure, the system may extend the precharge time to ensure the clutch receives sufficient oil pressure; if the actual pressure is higher than the required pressure, the system may shorten the precharge time to avoid excessive oil pressure.

[0104] Figure 3 The implementation steps of the new control strategy are described in detail, including starting gear shift, clutch pre-charging, pressure and flow detection, determination of pre-charging time, current adjustment during the pressure holding phase, calculation of the pressure rise curve during the OverLap phase, and compensation for oil filling time based on the ratio.

[0105] Step 1: During gear shifting, the clutch needs to be pre-filled with oil in preparation for engagement. At this time, the system applies a large current pulse to quickly open the solenoid valve, rapidly establishing the required oil pressure.

[0106] Step 2: The system will check whether the actual pressure has reached the preset value. If the actual pressure has reached the preset value (marked as "Y"), proceed to the next step; if not (marked as "N"), the pre-charge strategy needs to be adjusted.

[0107] Step 3: Once the actual pressure reaches the preset value, the clutch precharge current will drop to the normal precharge demand current.

[0108] Step 4: The system checks whether the actual pre-charged flow has reached the preset flow. If it has (marked as "Y"), proceed to the next step; if not, the pre-charged flow needs to be adjusted.

[0109] Step 5: Once the actual pre-charged data volume reaches the preset data volume, the system will determine the pre-charge time.

[0110] Step 6: After the pre-charge phase ends, the clutch pre-charge ends, and the current slowly decreases to the current required for the pressure holding phase to reduce pressure fluctuations.

[0111] Step 7: In the OverLap stage, the pressure rise curve is obtained by looking up a table based on the vehicle load and torque.

[0112] Step 8: Calculate the ratio of the actual pressure integral to the demand pressure integral for OverLap and subsequent stages.

[0113] Step 9: Check if the minimum value of this ratio is less than the set threshold. If it is (marked as "Y"), the pre-charge time needs to be compensated; if not (marked as "N"), the process ends, completing the intelligent control of clutch oil filling during gear shifting.

[0114] This flowchart illustrates a closed-loop control system that monitors and adjusts in real time to ensure that the clutch oil pressure and flow in the CVT transmission meet dynamically changing requirements during gear shifts, thereby improving shift smoothness and comfort. This method effectively solves the shift jerking problem caused by insufficient or fluctuating oil pressure, enhancing the driving experience.

[0115] By applying a large current pulse during the clutch pre-charge phase and gradually reducing the current after pre-charge, pressure fluctuations are effectively reduced. Simultaneously, by dynamically adjusting the pre-charge time and adjusting the pressure rise curve according to vehicle load and torque, intelligent control of clutch oil filling under different operating conditions is achieved, thereby improving the shifting comfort of the CVT transmission.

[0116] In summary, this application provides a transmission shift control method. By adjusting the current based on real-time monitored clutch oil pressure, the oil filling amount can be precisely controlled to ensure sufficient oil supply to the clutch during shifting, avoiding shifting difficulties caused by insufficient oil. When the oil filling amount reaches a preset value and the pre-charge time ends, the current is controlled to a set pressure to maintain the required current, ensuring stable oil pressure during shifting and reducing shock during the shifting process. During the overlap phase, the actual clutch oil pressure is controlled based on vehicle load and torque data to complete the shift, ensuring smoothness during the shifting process and avoiding shifting failures or vehicle vibrations caused by improper oil pressure control. By comparing the actual clutch oil pressure with the preset required oil pressure, the pre-charge time compensation value for the next shift is determined, further optimizing the shifting strategy and reducing shift delays or shocks caused by improper pre-charge time settings.

[0117] Based on the same technical concept, embodiments of this application also provide a gearbox shift control system, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the system includes:
