Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of engineering machinery technology, and in particular relates to a method, device and storage medium for controlling the low-temperature clutch of an electric drive gearbox for engineering machinery. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demand for energy conservation and emission reduction in the construction machinery market, an electric fully automatic transmission has been developed to meet this need. The electric fully automatic transmission uses a wet clutch to achieve uninterrupted power control. Considering the overall machine requirements, an electric oil pump is used to provide the pressure and lubrication flow required for the fully automatic transmission.
[0003] In low-temperature environments, wet clutches in construction machinery face problems such as a dramatic increase in oil viscosity (viscosity can reach more than 10 times that at room temperature at -30℃), leading to prolonged pressure build-up time (50%~80%), increased shift shock force (peak shock force >2000 N·m), and low transmission efficiency, and even causing power interruption. How to solve the problems of clutch sluggish response or shift shock in low-temperature environments, and how to achieve optimal control of wet clutches in electric drive transmissions under low-temperature conditions, are urgent technical problems to be solved in this field.
[0004] Existing technologies mostly rely on single temperature or pressure compensation, depending solely on oil temperature correction, without integrating multiple parameters such as motor winding temperature and ambient temperature, resulting in large errors in low-temperature pressure build-up time; the staged control of the clutch fails to achieve real-time matching between motor torque and clutch pressure, resulting in significant shift delays and potentially even power interruptions, failing to meet the stable operation requirements of construction machinery; under low-temperature conditions, traditional preheating relies on the engine or independent heaters, resulting in a high energy consumption ratio, which is not conducive to the energy distribution of the entire electric drive machine. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method, device and storage medium for controlling the low temperature clutch of an electric drive gearbox for engineering machinery. The operating conditions are subdivided according to the overall machine status, and different collaborative control strategies are adopted for different operating conditions. While fully protecting the life of the wet clutch, the smoothness of the gearbox starting and shifting is guaranteed.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented using the following technical solution:

[0047] Increase the current supplied to the solenoid valve of the engagement clutch package to its maximum value;
[0048] During the process of controlling the current set by the solenoid valve of the engagement clutch, the drive motor is synchronously controlled in torque control mode. First, the real-time torque setpoint of the drive motor is reduced to less than the preset speed difference threshold based on the speed difference between the front and rear ends of the engagement clutch. After the speed is synchronized, the real-time torque setpoint of the drive motor is increased based on the motor torque value at the time of speed synchronization. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0049] ,
[0050] in, To disengage the gear ratio, In order to combine the gear ratio, This is the real-time torque given to the drive motor when the gearbox speed is synchronized. This refers to the real-time torque of the drive motor before the gearbox shifts gears.
[0051] Optionally, the control method further includes: when the transmission is in a low-temperature control state, increasing the current speed of the electric oil pump to a preset maximum speed, and stopping heat dissipation until the current transmission oil temperature is greater than a preset maximum transmission temperature threshold.
[0052] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a low-temperature clutch control device for an electric drive gearbox in engineering machinery, comprising:

[0058] Thirdly, the present invention provides a computer storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the low-temperature clutch control method for an electric drive gearbox for engineering machinery as described in any of the first aspects.
[0059] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects achieved by this invention are as follows: The operating conditions are subdivided according to the overall machine status, and different collaborative control strategies are adopted for different operating conditions. The drive motor speed, drive motor torque, and wet clutch solenoid valve current are collaboratively controlled. While fully protecting the lifespan of the wet clutch, this makes the machine's start-up or shifting control faster and smoother in low-temperature conditions. In the starting condition, the invention distinguishes between stationary and driving conditions, collaboratively controlling the real-time speed of the drive motor and the engagement current of the starting gear clutch under different conditions. That is, the entire engagement process is controlled in real-time based on the threshold pressure, achieving rapid start-up while eliminating speed jumps during engagement, resulting in a smoother process. In the shifting condition, the invention distinguishes between stationary and driving conditions, collaboratively controlling the real-time torque of the drive motor, the disengaged clutch, and the given current of the engaged clutch under different conditions. That is, the entire engagement process is controlled based on the threshold pressure and real-time speed difference. The shifting process can achieve rapid pressure build-up of the engaged clutch and rapid synchronization of the front and rear clutch speeds without power interruption, improving the smoothness of the shifting process.

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0072] Example 1
[0073] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a cryogenic clutch control system for an electric drive transmission in engineering machinery. This system coordinates the control of the drive motor and wet clutch in the fully automatic electric drive transmission. The cryogenic clutch control system consists of a transmission control unit (TCU), a drive motor control unit (MCU), an electric oil pump control unit (EOP), a vehicle control unit (VCU), a transmission cooling fan, a power battery, a shift lever, an output speed sensor, a pressure sensor, and a temperature sensor. The MCU, EOP, and transmission cooling fan are connected to the power battery via high-voltage wiring harnesses. The shift lever is directly connected to the TCU. Sensor signals collected by the output speed sensor, pressure sensor, and temperature sensor, which detect the transmission status, are directly transmitted to the TCU. Information exchange between the TCU, MCU, EOP, cooling fan, and VCU is completed via a CAN bus, allowing for status control of each component.
[0074] The transmission control unit (TCU) receives information from the gear shift lever to determine whether the transmission is in a starting or shifting state; it also receives information from the output speed sensor to calculate the overall vehicle speed and determine whether the vehicle speed threshold has been triggered. The system receives pressure sensor information to detect the engagement state of the wet clutch and determines whether the pressure threshold for the fast charging phase has been triggered. , Stage pressure threshold The system receives information from temperature sensors to detect the temperature status of the transmission body and the environment, and determines whether to trigger the transmission fluid temperature threshold. Ambient temperature threshold The TCU collects the actual output torque of the drive motor via the bus to determine whether the torque threshold is triggered. The system collects internal speed data to determine the actual operating state of the wet clutch engagement process. Transmission fluid is cooled via a cooling fan. The transmission's internal pressure oil supply, provided by the EOP (Extended Operating Position), enables the wet clutch to engage, thereby transmitting power.
[0075] The hardware connection diagram of the electric drive transmission low-temperature clutch coordinated control system is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the TCU collects relevant signals from the shift lever, speed sensor, pressure sensor, and temperature sensor for comprehensive judgment. After calculation, the TCU directly controls the solenoid valve of the wet clutch inside the power shift transmission via the wiring harness, and achieves the exchange of shift torque by providing different current curves. The drive motor is directly connected to the power shift transmission. The TCU sends the speed or torque requirements to the MCU via the CAN bus according to the starting or shifting needs. The MCU changes the corresponding drive current, thereby changing the input speed or torque of the power shift transmission. The transmission provides a pressurized oil source through the EOP to provide pressure to the wet clutch and lubricate the power shift transmission bearings and other components. The transmission output shaft is directly connected to the vehicle's drive shaft or drive axle to drive the wheels and tires. The cooling fan ensures that the transmission's operating temperature is within a reasonable range.
[0076] The automatic transmission shift clutch engagement logic in this embodiment is shown in Table 1. The transmission uses three clutch packs to create three forward gears and three reverse gears. It has no directional clutches, and the forward or reverse movement of the entire machine is achieved by changing the rotation direction of the drive motor.

[0079] The control flow of the cryogenic clutch control method for the electric drive gearbox of engineering machinery implemented through the aforementioned cryogenic clutch control system is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, based on the characteristics of power transmission in a gearbox, a specific control strategy for the electric oil pump is designed, and the specific steps are as follows:
[0080] S1: First, each control unit performs a power-on self-test. If no shutdown fault is detected, proceed to the next step. After the entire unit's high-voltage power-on is detected (the vehicle control unit (VCU) will provide feedback after the high-voltage power-on is complete),... (Signal) The TCU makes a comprehensive judgment based on the collected information on the lever gear position, gearbox speed, pressure, and temperature, and then executes the next operation.
[0081] S2: If the current temperature of the transmission fluid... Temperature greater than the minimum threshold for transmission temperature If the transmission is in normal temperature control mode, it is considered to be in low temperature control mode; otherwise, it enters low temperature control mode. In low temperature control mode, the current EOP speed of the electric oil pump needs to be increased to its maximum value. Temporarily turn off the cooling fan to allow the transmission fluid to warm up. When the current temperature of the transmission fluid... Temperature greater than the maximum threshold of the transmission temperature Or the current temperature of the environment greater than the ambient temperature threshold Only then should you consider turning on the cooling fan to cool the transmission fluid.
[0082] S3: Based on the gear information monitored by the transmission, the TCU determines whether the transmission is in a starting condition or not. If the transmission is in a shifting condition, the TCU will perform low-temperature mode start-up control; if the transmission is in a shifting condition, the TCU will perform low-temperature mode shifting control; otherwise, it will perform return-to-zero control.
[0083] The control flow of the clutch coordination control subroutine for the low-temperature start-up condition of the electric drive transmission in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the specific steps are as follows:
[0084] S31: After entering the low-temperature start control program, it detects relevant information such as the speed sensor. If the current vehicle speed... Less than the vehicle speed threshold When the clutch is stationary, the starting control will be activated; otherwise, the starting control will be activated while the clutch is in motion.
[0085] S311: Timing diagram for start-up coordination control of wet clutch in stationary state is as follows Figure 5 As shown.
[0086] When the machine is stationary, the drive motor is controlled to enter speed control mode, and a real-time speed is given. Simultaneously, the solenoid valve corresponding to the starting gear clutch is kept fully open (in conjunction with the solenoid valve's given current). While ensuring the transmission fluid viscosity is overcome, quickly establish the corresponding clutch chamber pressure; detect the clutch chamber pressure, and the current engaged clutch chamber pressure. Slowly reduce the given current of the clutch assembly until the preset value is reached. Point demand current This is to prevent the clutch from engaging and impacting rapidly, which could affect the clutch's lifespan. Incremental phase By controlling the solenoid valve current, the clutch pressure can be precisely maintained at a certain level. A certain amount of time can ensure stable pressure during the slow bonding process.
[0087] Increment The controls are as follows:
[0088] ,
[0089] in, Indicates the current of the solenoid valve. This is the proportionality coefficient. The integral coefficient is... Let k be the deviation value of the pressure. For the first The deviation value of the clutch pressure in each step. For the first The clutch pressure at each step. For the first The clutch pressure at each step.
[0090] Clutch pressure maintained at After a certain period of time, rapidly increase the current supplied to the clutch assembly to its maximum value. This enables a rapid and stable start-up of the machine from a stationary state.
[0091] S312: Timing diagram for start-up coordination control under wet clutch driving state is as follows Figure 6 As shown.
[0092] When the machine is in motion, to ensure rapid pressure build-up of the starting gear clutch, the corresponding solenoid valve is kept fully open, and the current engagement clutch pressure... Slowly reduce the corresponding current to This phase still uses incremental methods. Control, clutch pressure maintained at After a certain period of time, rapidly increase the current supplied to the clutch assembly to its maximum value. This process ensures rapid pressure build-up while achieving rapid clutch engagement; simultaneously, it controls the drive motor to enter speed control mode. To maintain the speed difference between the front and rear ends of the clutch in starting gear, the real-time speed of the drive motor is given based on the output speed of the rear end of the clutch. The corresponding given speeds are shown below:
[0093] ,
[0094] in, This refers to the starting gear ratio. This provides the real-time output speed for the gearbox.
[0095] By controlling the real-time speed of the drive motor, the speed difference between the front and rear ends of the starting clutch is eliminated, resulting in a smoother engagement process without speed jumps.
[0096] The control flow of the clutch coordination control subroutine for low-temperature shifting conditions of an electric drive transmission in this invention is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the specific steps are as follows:
[0097] S32: After entering the low-temperature shift control program, it detects relevant information such as the speed sensor; if the current vehicle speed... Less than the vehicle speed threshold When the wet clutch is stationary, the shift control enters the wet clutch stationary state; otherwise, the shift control enters the wet clutch driving state.
[0098] S321: Timing diagram for shift coordination control of wet clutch in stationary state is as follows Figure 8 As shown.
[0099] When the machine is stationary, the drive motor is controlled to enter torque control mode, and a real-time torque is given. Simultaneously, the current of the solenoid valve corresponding to the disengaged clutch is rapidly reduced to the closed state, while the solenoid valve corresponding to the engaged clutch is kept fully open (the current of the engaged solenoid valve is given). ), currently combined with clutch pack pressure At that time, slowly reduce the current of the solenoid valve engaging the clutch to... This phase still uses incremental methods. Control, combined with clutch pressure maintained at After a certain period of time, rapidly increase the current supplied to the clutch assembly to its maximum value. This process ensures rapid pressure build-up while achieving rapid clutch engagement, enabling fast and stable gear shifting while the machine is stationary.
[0100] S322: Timing diagram of shift coordination control under wet clutch driving state is as follows Figure 9 As shown.
[0101] When the machine is in motion, to ensure rapid pressure build-up of the engagement clutch, the current of the solenoid valve corresponding to the disengagement clutch needs to be controlled to quickly decrease to a certain level and then maintained to ensure sufficient pressure on the disengagement clutch and prevent power interruption. Subsequently, as the speed difference between the front and rear ends of the engagement clutch gradually decreases to a certain extent, the solenoid valve for disengagement clutch is directly closed; simultaneously, the solenoid valve corresponding to the engagement clutch is controlled to be fully open, and the current engagement clutch pressure... At that time, slowly reduce the current of the solenoid valve engaging the clutch to... This phase still uses incremental methods. Control, clutch pressure maintained at After a certain period of time, rapidly increase the current supplied to the clutch assembly to its maximum value. This process ensures rapid pressure build-up while achieving rapid clutch engagement. Simultaneously, the drive motor is controlled to enter torque control mode. To ensure synchronized speeds at the front and rear ends of the clutch during gear shifting, the real-time torque of the drive motor is reduced based on the speed difference between the engaged and disengaged clutch ends, waiting for the speed difference to fall below a threshold value. Then, increase the real-time torque of the drive motor to ensure the overall power performance of the machine. The setpoint value of the drive motor torque after speed synchronization is shown below:
[0102] ,
[0103] in, To disengage the gear ratio, In order to combine the gear ratio, This is the real-time torque given to the drive motor when the gearbox speed is synchronized. This refers to the real-time torque of the drive motor before the gearbox shifts gears.
[0104] By coordinating the real-time torque of the drive motor and the clutch coil current and pressure, gear shifting can be performed in real time while driving, ensuring no power interruption, enabling the clutch to quickly build pressure, and the front and rear speeds to quickly synchronize during the gear shifting process, thus improving the smoothness of the gear shifting process.
