As a key component in AMTs, the clutch's performance and reliability are crucial to the proper operation of the vehicle. However, clutch failures can occur during use, such as clutch plate wear, incomplete clutch disengagement, and clutch slippage. These failures can affect the vehicle's power transmission efficiency, drivability, and safety.

[0049] 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.

[0050] To address the challenges of the existing technology, the present invention provides an efficient, accurate, and low-cost method, system, device, and storage medium for detecting clutch faults in automated manual transmissions (AMTs), primarily for use in vehicle-mounted devices. This method can be applied to terminals, servers, or entire vehicle systems comprising both terminals and servers, and implemented through interaction between the terminals and servers. Terminals include, but are not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, and the like.

[0051] The following embodiment takes the automobile end as an example to elaborate on the design process of this method.

[0052] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an AMT clutch fault detection method, the method comprising the following steps:

[0053] S101 monitors the vehicle's current status in real time, including vehicle speed, engine speed, and transmission input shaft speed;

[0054] S102: When the vehicle state meets the preset clutch fault detection conditions, control the clutch quick engagement valve to intake air so that the clutch is in a fully engaged position;

[0055] S103 reads the current engine speed and transmission input shaft speed;

[0056] S104 controls the clutch slow release valve and fast release valve respectively to gradually release the clutch; during the clutch release process, it monitors the clutch displacement value, clutch friction plate temperature value, engine speed and transmission input shaft speed signal in real time to determine whether the clutch is faulty and lock the clutch fault point.

[0057] In the above step S101 , the preset clutch fault detection conditions include: the vehicle is stationary, the engine is idling, and the air pressure of the vehicle air source is not lower than a set value.

[0058] In the above step S104, determining whether the clutch fails includes:

[0059] Determining by comparison whether the engine speed and the transmission input shaft speed are equal;

[0060] If the engine speed is not equal to the transmission input shaft speed, the clutch is judged to be slipping and failing, and the fault level is high;

[0061] If the engine speed is equal to the transmission input shaft speed, the clutch slow release valve intake is controlled, and the valve opening is adjusted to the preset angle threshold k% according to the PWM duty cycle to ensure that the clutch release speed is not too fast; and clutch displacement monitoring is performed.

[0062] In the above embodiment, performing clutch displacement monitoring includes:

[0063] The clutch displacement value Y1 is collected in real time through the clutch displacement sensor. If Y1=Ys+3mm, the clutch slow release valve intake is immediately stopped; among them, Ys is the clutch friction point that the transmission control unit can read from the memory.

[0064] When the clutch displacement reaches the set position, i.e. Y1=Ys+3mm, the air intake is stopped; after waiting for the set time ts1, the engine idle speed ne1 and the transmission input shaft speed nt1 are collected;

[0065] The clutch fault is determined based on the difference between the engine idle speed ne1 and the transmission input shaft speed nt1 collected after the waiting time ts1. If ne1-nt1≤ns1, the guide bearing is determined to be severely stuck and the fault level is high.

[0066] If ne1-nt1 > ns2, the clutch is judged to be functioning normally;

[0067] Wherein, ns1 and ns2 are both preset speed deviation thresholds, ns1 is the first setting parameter, ns2 is the second setting parameter; and ns2 > ns1 > 0;

[0068] If ns1 < ne1 - nt1 ≤ ns2, monitor the clutch friction plate temperature change and perform a fault determination based on the monitoring result of the clutch friction plate temperature change;

[0069] After the clutch fault determination is completed, the clutch quick engagement valve is controlled to reset, and the re-inspection process is started to obtain the clutch fault determination result.

[0070] Specifically, if ns1 < ne1 - nt1 ≤ ns2, the sensor collects the clutch friction plate temperature T1 and the clutch friction plate temperature T2 one second after the second. If T2 ≤ T1, it indicates that there is no friction between the clutch pressure plate and the friction plate. The guide bearing at the junction of the transmission input shaft and the engine flywheel is generally stuck, and the fault level is low. ns2 is the second set parameter.

[0071] If ns1<ne1-nt1≤ns2 is satisfied, the clutch friction plate temperature T1 in the previous second and the clutch friction plate temperature T2 in the next second are collected through the sensor. If T2>T1, it is determined that abnormal slippage occurs between the clutch pressure plate and the friction plate, and the clutch has mechanical faults such as "flash" and "burrs", and the fault level is high.

[0072] If ne1-nt1>ns2 is satisfied, it is determined that the clutch function is normal.

[0073] In the above embodiment, the fault determination based on the monitoring result of the clutch friction plate temperature change includes:

[0074] The clutch friction plate temperature T1 in the previous second and the clutch friction plate temperature T2 in the next second are collected by the sensor;

[0075] When T2≤T1, it is determined that the guide bearing is generally stuck and the fault level is low;

[0076] When T2 > T1, it is determined that the clutch has a mechanical fault and the fault level is high;

[0077] Among them, T1 and T2 are the clutch friction plate temperature in the previous second and the clutch friction plate temperature in the next second respectively collected by the sensor.

[0078] The review process includes:

[0079] Control the air intake of the clutch quick release valve and adjust the valve opening to 0.2k% according to the PWM duty cycle to perform the release operation; where k% is the preset angle threshold;

[0080] The clutch displacement monitoring and clutch fault judgment logic are executed repeatedly.

[0081] In addition, after performing the re-inspection process, the method further includes:

[0082] If the initial fault determination is consistent with the fault determination result obtained by the retest, the corresponding fault information is output to the instrument panel;

[0083] If the fault determination results obtained in the first fault determination are inconsistent with those obtained in the re-inspection, a third test is performed according to the above fault determination method, and the third result is output as the final result. The fault detection information corresponding to the clutch fault determination result is transmitted to the vehicle instrument for display.

[0084] It should be understood that, although the various steps in the flowcharts involved in the various embodiments described above are displayed in sequence according to the instructions of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in sequence in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least a portion of the steps in the flowcharts involved in the various embodiments described above can include multiple steps or multiple stages, and these steps or stages are not necessarily executed and completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times, and the execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily to be carried out in sequence, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least a portion of steps or stages in other steps.

[0085] In order to make the technical problem to be solved by the present invention clearer, the following description will be given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0086] like Figure 2 The present invention relates to an AMT clutch fault detection method, characterized by an AMT clutch fault detection method. The method comprises obtaining the current vehicle state. When the vehicle is stationary and the engine is idling, first controlling the clutch quick engagement valve to fully engage the clutch, then controlling the clutch slow release valve and quick release valve to gradually disengage the clutch. During the clutch disengagement process, the clutch friction plate temperature, clutch displacement, engine speed, and transmission input shaft speed signals are constantly monitored to determine whether a clutch fault has occurred and locate the clutch fault point. The fault detection information is then transmitted to the vehicle instrument panel for display.

[0087] AMT clutch fault detection requires that the vehicle is stationary and the engine is in idle state, and the vehicle air source pressure is not lower than the set value Ps. The air source pressure setting value varies slightly depending on the vehicle model and is generally 8 bar.

[0088] When it is determined that the clutch fault detection conditions are met, the clutch quick engagement valve is controlled to intake air so that the clutch is in the fully engaged position, and the current engine speed and transmission input shaft speed are read. If the two data are not equal, it is determined that the clutch has a slip failure fault and the fault level is high. If the two data are equal, continue to the next step.

[0089] Controls the clutch slow release valve's air intake, adjusting the valve opening to a set value (k%) based on the PWM duty cycle (typically 5% in this embodiment) to prevent excessive clutch disengagement. The clutch displacement sensor collects the clutch displacement value (Y1) in real time. If Y1 = Ys + 3mm, air intake to the clutch slow release valve is immediately stopped. Ys is the clutch friction point, which can be read from memory.

[0090] When the clutch position reaches the set position, after a set waiting time ts1, the transmission input shaft speed nt1 and the engine idle speed ne1 are measured. If ne1 - nt1 ≤ ns1, the guide bearing at the interface between the transmission input shaft and the engine flywheel is determined to be severely stuck, and the fault level is high. ns1 is the first set parameter, typically set to 20 rpm.

[0091] If ns1 < ne1 - nt1 ≤ ns2, the sensor collects the clutch friction plate temperature T1 and the clutch friction plate temperature T2 from the previous second. If T2 ≤ T1, indicating no friction between the clutch pressure plate and the friction plate, the guide bearing at the interface between the transmission input shaft and the engine flywheel is generally stuck, and the fault level is low. ns2 is the second setting parameter. This parameter varies depending on the engine model and is generally set to 80% of the engine idle speed.

[0092] If ns1<ne1-nt1≤ns2 is satisfied, the clutch friction plate temperature T1 in the previous second and the clutch friction plate temperature T2 in the next second are collected through the sensor. If T2>T1, it is determined that abnormal slippage occurs between the clutch pressure plate and the friction plate, and the clutch has mechanical faults such as "flash" and "burrs", and the fault level is high.

[0093] If ne1-nt1>ns2 is satisfied, it is determined that the clutch function is normal.

[0094] After the fault judgment is completed, the transmission control unit controls the clutch quick engagement valve intake to return the clutch to the fully engaged position, and starts the second re-inspection operation at the same time. The re-inspection operation is that the transmission control unit controls the clutch quick release valve intake and adjusts the valve opening to the set value of 0.2k% according to the PWM duty cycle. The remaining control process and judgment conditions are the same as the first detection method.

[0095] If the fault is determined to be the same twice, the transmission control unit sends the corresponding fault information to the vehicle instrument panel as a reminder. If the second fault determination result is different from the first fault determination result, a third fault detection must be performed. The third fault detection method is the same as the first fault detection method, and the third test result is based on the third test result and is output externally.

[0096] Based on the above specific implementation schemes, this application provides the following examples.

[0097] Embodiment 1: The embodiment of the present invention provides an AMT clutch fault detection method, comprising the following steps:

[0101] 2. Clutch control and monitoring:

[0102] The TCU controls the air intake of the clutch quick engagement valve to bring the clutch into the fully engaged position.

[0103] Subsequently, the TCU controls the clutch slow release valve and fast release valve respectively to gradually release the clutch.

[0105] 3. Fault diagnosis and locking:

[0106] Based on the monitored signal, determine whether the clutch is faulty. The specific judgment criteria are as follows:

[0107] If the clutch friction plate temperature exceeds a preset threshold (e.g. 120°C), it is determined to be a clutch overheating fault.

[0108] If the clutch displacement value does not reach the preset position (for example, 10 mm) or the response time exceeds the preset time (for example, 5 seconds), it is determined that the clutch is not completely disengaged.

[0109] If the speed difference between the engine speed and the transmission input shaft speed exceeds a preset threshold (eg, 500 rpm), it is determined to be a clutch slip fault.

[0110] Lock the clutch fault point and transmit the fault detection information to the vehicle instrument for display.

[0123] Lock the clutch fault point and transmit the fault detection information to the vehicle instrument for display.
