Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of AMT automatic transmissions, and in particular relates to an AMT shift control method and device for a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] After commercial vehicles entered the era of AMT automatic transmission, the engine, AMT automatic transmission and retarder can exchange information with each other. According to the system's algorithm control, the engine water temperature during the operation of the entire system can be accurately controlled, and the engine water temperature can be controlled as much as possible in the ideal range. This patent is based on the current commercial vehicle market background and provides a calculation and control method that can transmit information and control calculations between ECU, TCU and RCU, and ultimately prevent the hydraulic retarder water temperature from being high and effectively control the engine water temperature to work in the ideal range. For existing commercial vehicle AMT models equipped with hydraulic retarders, when the hydraulic retarder is in operation, the hydraulic retarder continuously removes heat through the cooling system through the water temperature, and the heat of the vehicle cooling system must be cooled by the cooling fan. The traditional solution is to directly connect the fan and the engine speed when the hydraulic retarder is working. The advantage is that the maximum cooling capacity of the fan can be continuously used to cool the water temperature when the hydraulic retarder is working. However, the disadvantage is also obvious. When the ambient temperature is low or the braking power demand is small, the heat dissipation of the hydraulic retarder is low. The continuous direct connection control of the fan will cause the fan to dissipate too much heat, and the engine water temperature will be reduced to below the ideal operating temperature, which is not conducive to the fuel economy of the engine, resulting in heat loss exacerbating the problem of increased fuel consumption.

[0003] The Chinese patent publication number is CN105114488A, and the name is a patent application for a water temperature control method and control system for a hydraulic retarder of an AMT vehicle model. The control method includes: the BCU receives the current engine speed value r1, the rated speed value R3, and the current gear n1, and combines the speed ratio difference g of each gear of the transmission to calculate whether to downshift and the number of gears that can be downshifted n; if downshifting is possible, a downshift request is sent to the TCU via the CAN bus; after receiving the request, the TCU controls the action of the shift solenoid valve and the clutch assist cylinder to switch the transmission from n1 to a lower gear n2; when downshifting, the TCU sends a speed increase request to the engine ECU to increase the engine speed from r1 to r2, and then the engine fan speed also increases accordingly, the cooling capacity is enhanced, and thus the engine water temperature can be reduced. This patent application cannot solve the problem that the engine water temperature is reduced to below the ideal operating temperature, which is not conducive to the fuel economy of the engine, resulting in heat loss exacerbating the increase in fuel consumption.

Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] A vehicle AMT shift control method of the present invention comprises the following steps: Receive the signal from the RCU of the hydraulic retarder. When the hydraulic retarder does not need to be turned on, collect the temperature T1 of the engine body and the current engine speed N3; when the hydraulic retarder needs to be turned on, collect the temperature T2 of the temperature sensor at the water outlet of the hydraulic retarder and the current engine speed N3; Calculate the corresponding target fan speed N2 according to temperature T1 and temperature T2 respectively; calculate the engine target speed according to the target fan speed N2 through the speed ratio relationship; Determine the difference between the target engine speed and the current engine speed N3. When the target engine speed is greater than the current engine speed N3, calculate the difference between the target engine speed and the current engine speed N3, and calculate the number of gears that the transmission needs to reduce based on the speed difference. A downshift signal is sent to the AMT automatic transmission to make the fan speed reach the target fan speed N2.

[0024] The present invention controls the shift actuator through the TCU to complete the downshift and upshift operation command requirements. The control of the transmission gear position can effectively control the engine speed within the ideal heat dissipation range.

[0025] The control of engine speed can also control the fan speed within the optimal range of water temperature cooling requirements. Through continuous feedback and closed-loop control, the ideal water temperature working state of the entire vehicle cooling system can be achieved.

[0026] Example 1 The following combination Figures 1 to 3 The specific embodiments of the present invention are further described.

[0027] In this embodiment, the vehicle has an engine, a fan, a hydraulic retarder and an AMT automatic transmission.

[0028] The engine is communicatively connected to the ECU, the retarder is communicatively connected to the RCU, and the AMT automatic transmission has a shift actuator, which is communicatively connected to the TCU. The ECU is the engine control unit, the TCU is the AMT automatic transmission control unit, and the RCU is the retarder control unit. In this embodiment, the engine has an engine water temperature sensor, the retarder outlet is equipped with a retarder outlet temperature sensor, and the fan is an electronically controlled silicone oil fan.

[0029] In this embodiment, the hydraulic retarder is turned on and off by the hydraulic retarder handle according to the requirements of the vehicle operating conditions. When there is a braking demand on a downhill slope, the hydraulic retarder is turned on Rmode=1, and when there is no retarder demand, Rmode=0.

[0030] The optimal operating coolant temperature of the engine is 90°C to 93°C. In this embodiment, the optimal operating coolant temperature of the engine is selected to be 93°C.

[0031] The target fan speed N2 is calculated by performing closed-loop control of PID feedback through △T1=T1-93℃.

[0032] The target required engine speed N2*i is calculated through the speed ratio relationship using the target fan speed N2, where i is the speed ratio between the fan speed and the engine speed when the fan is fully open and directly connected.

[0033] The target fan speed N2*i is compared with the current engine speed N3. At this time, the heat dissipation of the cooling system is only the heat generated by the engine body.

[0034] When N2*i<N3, it indicates that the engine meets the speed requirement of the fan closed-loop control within the current speed range, the heat dissipation demand is small, and the transmission does not need to increase the engine speed by downshifting.

[0035] When N2*i>N3, it indicates that the engine cannot meet the speed requirement of the fan closed-loop control within the current speed range, the cooling system has a large cooling demand, and the gearbox needs to downshift to increase the engine speed.

[0036] The number of gears that need to be reduced and the corresponding target gear are calculated by the speed difference between the target engine speed N2*i and N3, and the target gear G1 is switched by controlling the shift actuator through the TCU.

[0037] When the engine reaches the target speed N4, the ECU performs PID closed-loop control of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan through △N1=N2-N1 to make the speed reach N2, and achieves the purpose of temperature control through closed-loop control of temperature feedback and fan speed feedback.

[0038] When Rmode = 1, the hydraulic retarder is activated, indicating the desire to use the retarder for downhill braking. The heat generated by the cooling system is the sum of the heat generated by the engine and the retarder. The system's cooling requirement is greater than when the retarder is not activated. The temperature T2 of the retarder outlet temperature sensor and the current engine speed N3 are collected.

[0039] In this embodiment, the optimal operating coolant temperature of the hydraulic retarder is selected to be 93°C.

[0040] All heat is fed back through the T2 temperature sensor, and PID feedback closed-loop control is performed through △T2=T2-93℃ to calculate the target fan speed N2.

[0041] The target fan speed N2 is used to calculate the target engine speed N2*i through the speed ratio relationship. The target fan speed N2*i is compared with the current engine speed N3 for judgment.

[0042] When N2*i<N3, it indicates that the engine meets the speed requirement of the fan closed-loop control within the current speed range, the heat dissipation demand of the hydraulic retarder cooling system is small, and the transmission does not need to increase the engine speed by downshifting.

[0043] When N2*i>N3, it indicates that the engine cannot meet the speed requirement of the fan closed-loop control within the current speed range. The heat dissipation demand of the hydraulic retarder cooling system is large, the braking power is large, and the transmission needs to downshift to increase the engine speed.

[0044] The speed difference between the target engine speed N2*i and the current engine speed N3 calculates the number of gears the transmission needs to downshift and the corresponding target gear. The TCU controls the shift actuator to shift to target gear G1, and the engine reaches target speed N4. The ECU then performs closed-loop control using PID feedback using △N1=N2-N1 to calculate the target fan speed N2. Temperature control is achieved through closed-loop control using temperature feedback and fan speed feedback.

[0045] like Figure 4 The figure shows the effect of downshift water temperature control by fan, hydraulic retarder and AMT automatic transmission in this embodiment, wherein the dotted line is the engine speed N. It can be seen that the Figure 3 The control logic calculation method can stably control the temperatures of T1 and T2 at around 93°C. Increasing the engine speed through the AMT automatic transmission's downshift (Downshift) is most effective in reducing the temperatures of T1 and T2. When the water temperature is lower than 93°C, the AMT automatic transmission reduces the engine speed through upshift (Upshift) to reduce fuel consumption and avoid unnecessary over-braking losses.

[0046] This embodiment utilizes temperature sensors, an electronic control unit (ECU), and an actuator to implement system-wide interaction and information feedback. The engine water temperature sensor transmits temperature T1 to the ECU, while the retarder outlet water temperature sensor transmits temperature T2 to the retarder control unit (RCU). The RCU and ECU then communicate water temperature information to the TCU via the CAN bus, enabling them to exchange temperature information. The ECU ultimately controls the electronically controlled silicone oil fan through closed-loop control to achieve fan speed control. The TCU controls the shift actuator to execute downshift and upshift commands. Transmission gear control effectively maintains engine speed within the ideal heat dissipation range.

When the hydraulic retarder does not need to be turned on, it collects the temperature T1 of the engine body and the current engine speed N3; when the hydraulic retarder needs to be turned on, it collects the temperature T2 of the temperature sensor at the water outlet of the hydraulic retarder and the current engine speed N3; The first calculation module is used to calculate the corresponding target fan speed N2 according to the temperature T1 and the temperature T2; and calculate the engine target speed according to the target fan speed N2 through the speed ratio relationship; The judgment and calculation module is used to judge the size of the target engine speed and the current engine speed N3. When the target speed is greater than the current engine speed N3, the difference between the target engine speed and the current engine speed N3 is calculated, and the number of gears that the transmission needs to reduce is calculated based on the speed difference. The control module is used to send a downshift signal to the AMT automatic transmission to make the fan speed reach the target fan speed N2.
