In addition, during the torque interaction process, if the torque of the low-gear clutch (Oncoming clutch) is insufficient, the engine speed drops below the speed of the high-gear clutch (Offgoing clutch), noise will be generated, or the pressure of the Offgoing clutch is not completely relieved, and the Oncoming clutch transmits too much torque, which also causes the engine speed to separate from the input shaft of the Offgoing clutch in advance, causing the vehicle to jerk and shake, affecting the user's driving and riding experience.

[0053] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, 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 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.

[0054] At present, the automatic transmission of vehicles, especially the dual clutch automatic transmission (DCT) and the mechanical hydraulic automatic transmission (AT), are all stepped automatic transmissions with distinct gears, so that the deceleration during vehicle driving involves the downshift control of gear switching. The specific downshift control process is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the pressure of the high-gear clutch (Offgoing clutch) is released to 0 within a certain period of time, and the pressure of the low-gear clutch (Oncoming clutch) rises to the pressure corresponding to the engine torque within the same period of time, completing the torque interaction control, and then the pressure of the Oncoming clutch continues to rise until the speed difference between the engine speed and the input shaft speed of the low gear is less than a preset value (generally determined by calibration, such as 20rpm), and the downshift is completed.

[0055] It should be noted that in Figure 1 When the existing vehicle transmission shown in the figure downshifts without power, the whole vehicle will be in a reverse-drag condition, and the engine will work with the minimum fuel injection amount or the engine will not inject fuel, relying on the reverse-drag engine of the whole vehicle to operate. At this time, due to the friction loss of the engine, or the accessories (engine, water pump, etc.), a reverse-drag torque will be generated, that is, a negative torque (positive torque refers to the direction in which the vehicle is driven, and negative torque refers to the direction in which the vehicle is braked). Generally, the negative torque of reverse-drag can be between negative 30Nm and 0Nm; this torque range is in the nonlinear region of the clutch, and generally the torque accuracy of the clutch is not enough. It is affected by the transmission oil temperature and use, that is, the friction characteristics of the clutch are changing throughout the life cycle of the vehicle. At the same time, due to manufacturing errors, there are errors in the transmission torque of the clutches of different vehicles. For the engine, there is also a change in torque due to aging, or manufacturing deviations, which leads to deviations in the engine and clutch at the same time.

[0056] Furthermore, it should be noted that the data corresponding to each clutch during the downshift process of existing vehicles are determined by calibration engineers for a large number of working conditions and high and low temperature verification. However, once the calibration work is completed and the data is locked, it cannot be guaranteed that the same vehicle can meet the performance indicators throughout its entire service life or for mass-produced vehicles, which will cause the vehicle's downshift speed control to slow down, the shifting time to lengthen, the clutch wear to increase, and the life of the clutch to be affected. In addition, during the torque interaction process, if the torque of the low-gear clutch (Oncoming clutch) is insufficient, the engine speed drops below the speed of the high-gear clutch (Offgoing clutch), noise will be generated, or the pressure of the Offgoing clutch is not completely relieved, and the Oncoming clutch transmits too much torque, which also causes the engine speed to separate from the input shaft of the Offgoing clutch in advance, causing the vehicle to jerk and shake, affecting the user's driving and riding experience.

[0057] Based on this, the present application proposes a vehicle transmission unpowered downshift adaptive control method, device and equipment, which takes the vehicle engine torque as a reference, that is, assumes that the vehicle engine torque is accurate, and adjusts the clutch pressure to match the engine torque, so that the engine and clutch cooperate with each other to meet the vehicle performance requirements, reduce the vehicle's jerking, and thereby improve the user's driving and riding experience.

[0058] The following will describe in detail the vehicle transmission non-power downshift adaptive control method provided by the embodiment of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 2 As shown, it shows a flow chart of a vehicle transmission unpowered downshift adaptive control method provided by an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment may include the following steps:

[0059] S201: Detect whether the clutch transmits excessive or insufficient torque during downshifting of the target vehicle.

[0060] In this embodiment, any vehicle that uses the method of the embodiment of the present application to implement adaptive downshift control is defined as a target vehicle. In order to implement adaptive control of the target vehicle's gearbox downshift without power, so as to reduce the jerking of the target vehicle and improve the driving and riding experience of the user, the control scheme proposed in this application is to first use the target vehicle engine torque as a reference, that is, assume that the target vehicle engine torque is accurate, and then adjust the clutch pressure to match the engine torque, so that the engine and the clutch cooperate with each other to meet the performance requirements of the target vehicle, reduce the jerking of the target vehicle, and thus improve the driving and riding experience of the vehicle user. It should be noted that this embodiment will be described in detail later using the adaptive control of the engine with an AT automatic transmission as an example. The adaptive control process of the DCT or other hybrid transmission without power downshift can be implemented by reference, and will not be described one by one.

[0061] Specifically, it is first possible to detect whether the target vehicle has a clutch that transmits excessive or insufficient torque during downshifting. When it is determined that the target vehicle has a clutch that transmits excessive torque, execute subsequent step S202; when it is determined that the target vehicle has a clutch that transmits insufficient torque, execute subsequent step S203.

[0062] An optional implementation method is that, in order to determine whether the target vehicle has a state where the clutch transmits excessive or insufficient torque, the present application can first determine whether the target vehicle has a state where the clutch transmits excessive or insufficient torque, and then determine whether the target vehicle has a state where the clutch transmits excessive or insufficient torque. 2 When the speed difference between the engine speed of the target vehicle and the input shaft speed of the high-speed clutch is greater than zero), the speed difference between the engine speed of the target vehicle and the input shaft speed of the high-speed clutch is calculated and defined as the first speed difference. Then, it is determined whether the first speed difference is greater than the preset threshold for N consecutive cycles (referring to the operating cycle of the application layer control unit software, the specific value is not limited, and can be set according to the actual situation, such as 10ms, etc.). If so, it is determined that the target vehicle has a state of excessive clutch transmission torque; if not, the speed item of the target vehicle is controlled to detect whether the target vehicle has a state of insufficient clutch transmission torque.

[0063] Wherein, N is a positive integer greater than 0, and the specific value is not limited, and can be set according to the actual situation, such as 5. The preset threshold can be represented by Offset1, and the specific value is not limited, and can be set according to the actual situation (usually an empirical value of actual vehicle calibration, and calibration is performed taking into account the measurement error of the speed sensor), such as 10 revolutions per minute (rpm).

[0064] S202: When it is detected that the clutch transmission torque of the target vehicle is excessive, the transmission torque of the current low-gear clutch is kept unchanged, and when the pressure of the high-gear clutch is released and the remaining interaction time of the torque phase is not greater than zero, the first inertia torque is calculated, so as to use the first inertia torque to determine the first adaptive control torque of the low-gear clutch, so as to achieve pressure adaptive control of the low-gear clutch of the target vehicle.

[0065] It should be noted that when the target vehicle's clutch transmits too much torque, during the torque interaction process, the Offgoing clutch is not fully opened, resulting in a first speed difference, that is, it is considered that the transmitted torque is too much. When the first speed difference is detected, the current Oncoming clutch torque needs to be maintained and no longer increased to prevent the target vehicle from being jerked more severely after the increase, that is, Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , this embodiment adjusts the torque of the low-gear clutch from the original ACB line to the ACD line, wherein the stage corresponding to the line segment CD is when the oncoming clutch is detected to transmit too much torque and the current torque needs to be maintained. After the offgoing clutch pressure is completely released, the torque is continued to be increased, such as Figure 3 The line segment DE in corresponds to the stage. It should be noted that Figure 3 The inertia torque in (can be used by T Inrt (represented by) is calculated based on the speed of the Offgoing input shaft.

[0066] Specifically, in this embodiment, when it is detected in step S201 that the clutch transmission torque of the target vehicle is too much, the transmission torque of the current low-gear clutch can be kept unchanged, and the high-gear clutch pressure is completely released and the torque phase interaction remaining time T is reached. 2 When it is not greater than zero, the speed difference between the engine speed of the target vehicle and the speed of the input shaft of the high-speed clutch is calculated and defined as the second speed difference, which is represented by Offset2.

[0067] Then, calculate the first inertia torque T corresponding to the second speed difference Inrt1 The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0068]

[0069] Among them, N Engine Indicates the engine speed of the target vehicle; N Offgoing Indicates the speed of the target vehicle's high-speed clutch input shaft (for DCT, N Offgoing is the speed obtained by the speed sensor test. For DCT, N OffgoingIt is obtained by multiplying the output shaft speed by the high gear ratio); J represents the sum of the engine moment of inertia and the gearbox moment of inertia equivalent to the engine end; d() represents the function of finding the differential.

[0070] Next, the first preset correction coefficient (using Gx 1 The first inertia torque T Inrt1 Correction, that is, T Inrt1 *Gx 1 , obtain the corrected first inertia torque, and select the minimum value between the corrected first inertia torque and zero as the first adaptive control torque of the low gear clutch (using T Adapt1 Represented), as shown in the following formula:

[0071] T Adapt1 =Min(T Inrt1 *Gx 1 ,0)

[0072] Among them, T Adapt1 represents the first adaptive control torque; Gx 1 It represents the first preset correction coefficient, which can be obtained by querying the following Table 1 according to the value of the second speed difference.

[0073] Second speed difference 0 10 20 50 100 150 <![CDATA[Gx 1 ]]> 0 0 0.2 0.5 0.8 1

[0074] Table 1

[0075] Among them, Table 1 is a table constructed in advance using existing actual driving data, and the specific construction structure will not be repeated here.

[0076] In this way, the first adaptive control torque T Adapt1 After that, the first adaptive control torque T Adapt1 The torque of the low-gear clutch is adaptively corrected, and then the pressure of the low-gear clutch is adaptively controlled through the conversion of torque and pressure. At the same time, the gearbox oil temperature at this control moment can be recorded and used to OilTmp It indicates that it is used to form a corresponding table of transmission oil temperature and adaptive control torque, which is used to increase the low-gear clutch of the target vehicle to the end of the torque phase in advance, prevent the vehicle from shaking and improve the driving and riding experience of the vehicle users.

[0077] S203: When it is detected that the clutch transmission torque of the target vehicle is insufficient, a second inertia torque is calculated, and the second inertia torque is used to determine a second adaptive control torque of the low-gear clutch, so as to compensate the torque of the low-gear clutch with the second adaptive control torque, so as to achieve pressure adaptive control of the low-gear clutch of the target vehicle.

[0078] It should be noted that if the torque transmitted by the clutch is insufficient, after the torque interaction control is completed, that is, T 2 When it is not greater than zero, it is not detected that the speed difference between the engine speed and the high gear input speed is greater than the preset threshold Offset1, that is, the condition of excessive transmission torque is not met. At this time, the speed phase control is entered to detect insufficient transmission torque, such as Figure 4 shown.

[0079] Specifically, in actual applications, the clutch usually increases at a slower rate. If the clutch speed is too fast and the hydraulic response is not timely, the self-learning value will be inaccurate. Therefore, the clutch increase rate can be determined by querying the following Table 2 based on the transmission oil temperature:

[0080] Oil temperature -30 -20 0 20 40 60 90 Speed ​​Nm / s 30 30 40 50 50 60 80

[0081] Table 2

[0082] Table 2 is a table constructed in advance using existing actual driving data, and the specific construction structure is not repeated here. The first row of values ​​represents the transmission oil temperature, and the second row of values ​​represents the clutch rising rate corresponding to the corresponding oil temperature, that is, the clutch rises from T 0 Time to speed difference reached Figure 4 The above rate of the threshold Offset (the specific value is not limited and can be determined according to actual conditions, such as being calibrated to any value between 60rpm-100rpm) is used to determine the point at which the speed difference reaches Offset.

[0083] In this way, when it is detected that the clutch transmission torque of the target vehicle is insufficient, the second inertia torque T corresponding to the speed difference between the engine speed of the target vehicle and the input shaft speed of the high-speed clutch can be calculated. Inrt2 , the specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0084]

[0085] Among them, N Engine Indicates the engine speed of the target vehicle; N Offgoing Indicates the speed of the target vehicle's high-speed clutch input shaft (for DCT, N Offgoing is the speed obtained by the speed sensor test. For DCT, N Offgoing It is obtained by multiplying the output shaft speed by the high gear ratio); J represents the sum of the engine moment of inertia and the gearbox moment of inertia equivalent to the engine end; d() represents the function of finding the differential.

[0086] Then, the torque of the low-range clutch can be used (using T Clch The actual torque of the engine (using T Engine) and a second preset correction factor (using Gx 2 The second inertia torque T Inrt2 Correction, that is (T Clch -T Inrt2 -abs(T Engine ))Gx 2 , obtain the corrected second inertia torque, and select the maximum value between the corrected second inertia torque and zero as the second adaptive control torque of the low gear clutch (using T Adapt2 Represented), as shown in the following formula:

[0087] T Adapt2 =Max((T Clch -T Inrt2 -abs(T Engine ))Gx 2 ,0)

[0088] Used to reduce the timing time after the high-speed clutch pressure is released and the speed phase is entered (using T 1 Indicates that Figure 4 If T 1 If the value is shorter, no compensation is required. In this case, T Adapt2 The value is 0. If T 1 If the value is longer, in order to improve the user's driving and riding experience and reduce the user's waiting time, it is necessary to use the second adaptive control torque to compensate for the torque of the low-gear clutch. Adapt2 The value is (T Clch -T Inrt2 -abs(T Engine ))Gx 2 , thereby achieving adaptive pressure control of the low-gear clutch.

[0089] In the above formula, T Adapt2 represents the second adaptive control torque; T Clch Indicates the torque of the low gear clutch; T Inrt2 Indicates the actual torque of the engine; Gx 2 represents the second preset correction coefficient, which can be calculated based on the timing time (T 1 ), obtained by querying the following Table 3:

[0090] <![CDATA[T 1 ]]> 0.05 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 <![CDATA[Gx 2 ]]> 0 0.3 0.5 0.7 1 1

[0091] Table 3

[0092] Thus, when the speed difference between the engine speed and the high-speed clutch input shaft speed for a plurality of consecutive (such as three) sampling periods is greater than the threshold Offset(, the timing is stopped and the second adaptive control torque T at this moment is recorded. Adapt2 and transmission oil temperature T OilTmp , which is used to form a corresponding table of transmission oil temperature and adaptive control torque (as shown in Table 4 below), so that when the target vehicle subsequently shifts gears, the corresponding adaptive control torque can be read from Table 4 according to the transmission oil temperature, and increased to the end point of the torque phase in advance to prevent the vehicle from shaking and improving the driving and riding experience of the vehicle users.
