[0002] At present, the large-horsepower continuously variable transmission tractors produced in batches at home and abroad mainly rely on the parallel connection of hydraulic power flow and mechanical power flow, and ensure high transmission efficiency through mechanical transmission. The controllable speed regulation of hydraulic transmission is combined with mechanical transmission to achieve continuously variable speed. Due to the need to add new components such as hydraulic variable pump, hydraulic motor and planetary transmission device, the transmission route layout is relatively complicated; the hydraulic mechanical continuously variable transmission device has the advantages of continuous speed, convenient operation, comfortable driving, and high fuel economy. However, since the current section-to-section section switching mostly adopts the method of comparative speed ratio and displacement ratio combined control for section switching, and since the volumetric efficiency of hydraulic variable pump and hydraulic motor changes with the oil pressure, the volumetric efficiency is not constant and is less than 1, the actual section switching displacement ratio at the section switching point is different from the theoretical calculated displacement ratio, and the speed ratio is PID adjusted, the control is relatively complex, and the driving impact is strong.

[0087] The present invention also includes a first speed sensor 11, a second speed sensor 12, a third speed sensor 13, and a fourth speed sensor 14. The first speed sensor 11 is used to detect the output speed of the pump motor 3, and the second speed sensor 12 is used to obtain the output speed of the first transmission shaft 21. The input speed of the section clutch can be calculated by the output speed of the first transmission shaft 21 and the output speed of the pump motor 3. The third speed sensor 13 is used to obtain the speed of the output end of the section clutch, and the fourth speed sensor 14 is used to obtain the speed of the output end of the reversing clutch sensor.

[0088] The present invention also provides a method for controlling a continuously variable transmission device. When the transmission device is working normally, there is only one section clutch engaged. When a section clutch is engaged, the input speed nr of the section clutch is calculated by the first sensor 11 and the second speed sensor 12, and the output speed no of the section clutch is measured by the third speed sensor 13. If nr≠no, the machine is stopped to check for faults; the output speed no of the section clutch is measured according to the third speed sensor 13 to obtain the input speed Nr of the reversing clutch (the output speed no of the section clutch is equal to the input speed Nr of the reversing clutch), and the output speed No of the reversing clutch is measured by the fourth speed sensor 14. If Nr≠No, the machine is stopped to check for faults. By adding speed sensors at the front and rear ends of the clutch, it is possible to determine whether the clutch is slipping and determine the abnormal state of the clutch in advance to achieve the purpose of protecting the clutch.

[0089] This scheme adopts the following shifting method: Step 1: reversely calculate the actual speed ratio i1 of the pump motor 3 through the speed values ​​detected by the first sensor 21 and the second speed sensor 22; Step 2: adjust the inclination angle of the swash plate of the variable pump so that the actual speed ratio i1 of the pump motor 3 is close to the theoretical synchronous speed ratio i of the pump motor 3; Step 3: compare the actual speed ratio i1 of the pump motor 3 with the theoretical synchronous speed ratio i of the pump motor 3. If i1>i, adjust the inclination angle of the swash plate of the pump motor 3 to reduce i1 to i, and then shift the segment; if i1 is less than i, adjust the inclination angle of the swash plate of the pump motor 3 to increase i1 to i, and then shift the segment; if i1=i, directly shift the segment. The actual speed ratio i1 at this time is calculated by reverse calculation using the corresponding speed data obtained by the first sensor 21 and the second speed sensor 22. At the shift point, the swash plate inclination angle is adjusted to make the actual speed ratio i1 of the pump motor 3 close to the theoretical synchronous speed ratio i of the pump motor 3. When the speed ratio of the pump motor 3 is equal to the theoretical speed ratio at the synchronous shift point, the inclination angle of the variable pump swash plate is ensured to remain unchanged, the clutch is controlled to switch quickly, and the shift is simpler and smoother.

[0090] Calculation method of stage change point: Since the calculation formula of stage 3 and stage 1 is the same except for the calculation coefficient; the calculation formula of stage 4 and stage 2 is the same except for the calculation coefficient; the calculation formula of stage 3 and stage 4 is not listed here. The calculation formula of hydraulic stage 1 and stage 2 is as follows: H =A H ×e×n e , v H is the hydraulic section speed, v1 is the first section speed, v2 is the second section speed, n e is the engine speed, A H is the hydraulic section speed coefficient, A and A1 are the first section speed calculation coefficients, A2 and A3 are the second section speed calculation coefficients, and A H , A, A1, A2 and A3 are only related to the mechanical structure of the transmission system. In theoretical calculation, the volumetric efficiency of the variable pump and the fixed motor in this formula is assumed to be 1. H =v1 and v1=v2 can be used to calculate the theoretical displacement ratio e at the stage change point. At this time, the calculation finds that the displacement ratio e is only related to the speed calculation coefficient of different stages and has nothing to do with the engine speed. Since the volumetric efficiency of the actual variable pump and the fixed motor is less than 1, the actual displacement e1 of the stage change is different from the calculated theoretical displacement ratio e, and the actual speed ratio i1 of the pump motor 3 is affected by the displacement ratio, the volumetric efficiency of the variable pump and the fixed motor. If only the displacement ratio is considered, the stage change speed will change suddenly (refer to Figure 3 As shown, the driving impact is quite obvious. In this solution, the actual speed ratio i1 of the pump motor 3 measured by the sensor is equal to the theoretical synchronous speed ratio i of the pump motor 3, the shift point is accurate, and the impact is small. It should be noted that the contents not described in detail in this solution are all prior art.
