With 4 gears in the input shaft component, 2 gears in the auxiliary transmission shaft component, and 2 gears in the front output component, 16 forward gears can be achieved. With 4 gears in the input shaft component, 1 reverse gear in the auxiliary transmission shaft component, and 2 gears in the front output component, 8 reverse gears can be achieved. The engagement and disengagement of the fourth synchronizer controls whether the rear output component E has power output, thus controlling front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive mode. This provides more gear selection and adaptability to various terrains and operational needs. Furthermore, the power shift uses a drive structure combining electro-hydraulic proportional valves and solenoid directional valves to reduce costs while maintaining performance. The synchronizer mechanical shifting actuator is driven by a hydraulic cylinder driven by a solenoid directional valve, further reducing costs while maintaining performance. The hydraulic system has a simple structure and reduces the failure rate. In the control method of the gearbox structure combining power shift and electro-hydraulic mechanical shift of the present invention, the power shift is controlled by closed-loop adaptive control based on the speed sensor signal to achieve smooth and quick start and shift. When the gear is engaged, the speed sensor and the calculated speed ratio value are used to monitor in real time to prevent overload slippage, interrupt power to protect the clutch, and effectively protect the clutch.

[0054] In this embodiment, the gearbox body also includes a clutch anti-slip brake 32, and the hydraulic system also includes an electromagnetic reversing valve K10. The working port of the electromagnetic reversing valve K10 is connected to the clutch anti-slip brake 32, and the inlet port of the electromagnetic reversing valve K10 is connected to the working oil pump 31.

[0055] refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the control system is used to collect speed and pressure signals from the gearbox and to control the operation of the proportional valve and switching valve of the hydraulic unit. The hydraulic system is used to control the proportional valve and switching valve to operate according to the control signals issued by the control system, and output the corresponding pressure to push the oil cylinder to achieve the corresponding gear shift.

[0056] This embodiment also discloses a control method for a gearbox structure that combines power shifting and electro-hydraulic mechanical shifting, which is applied to the aforementioned gearbox structure that combines power shifting and electro-hydraulic mechanical shifting.

[0057] Specifically, the control method for the gearbox structure combining power shifting and electro-hydraulic mechanical shifting in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0058] When starting and shifting to power gear, first control the solenoid directional valve that switches to the corresponding gear, and then control the pressure increase process of the corresponding electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve according to the speed and acceleration changes obtained from the speed sensor.

[0059] When shifting gears using a mechanical synchronizer, first disengage the power gear clutch, then switch gears using the mechanical synchronizer. After the shift is complete, the power gear clutch engages the gear through creeping and slipping.

[0060] After shifting gears, the speed ratio and the theoretical speed ratio of the gear to be selected are obtained based on the engine speed, power gear output speed, and overall machine output speed obtained from the speed sensor. This allows the system to determine the state of the transmission mechanism. If the speed ratio changes beyond the preset error value during operation, the clutch is immediately disengaged to interrupt power.

[0061] The control method of the electronic control system in this embodiment is as follows:

[0062] 1. Starting and shifting gears: The corresponding gear switching valve is switched first, and the pressure increase process of the corresponding proportional valve is controlled in a closed loop according to the changes in speed and acceleration. The speed difference is eliminated by the clutch slippage to achieve smooth and quick starting and shifting.

[0063] 2. When shifting gears using the mechanical synchronizer, first disengage the power gear, then switch to the mechanical synchronizer. After the switch is completed, the power gear will engage through creeping and sliding friction, which helps the synchronizer to engage gears reliably and the machine to shift gears smoothly.

[0064] 3. After shifting gears, calculate the gear ratio based on the engine speed, power gear output speed, and overall machine output speed. Compare this value with the theoretical gear ratio of the gear to be selected to determine the state of the transmission mechanism. If the calculated gear ratio changes beyond the error value during operation, immediately disengage the clutch to interrupt power and effectively protect the clutch.

[0065] Specifically, the control methods for each gear in the power gear and mechanical gear are as follows:

[0066] When power gear is selected, the electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve K2 is controlled to pressurize. When the absolute value of the difference between the output speed sensor n1 and the theoretical calculation value is less than 30, the electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve K2 quickly applies working pressure current, which can reduce slippage time. If an abnormal change in speed ratio occurs after the gear is engaged, the electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve K2 is immediately disconnected to interrupt power and avoid damage to the clutch.

[0067] When the third power gear is selected, the solenoid directional valve K4 is effective, controlling the pressurization process of the electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve K2. When the absolute value of the difference between the output speed sensor n1 and the theoretical calculated value is less than 30, the electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve K2 quickly applies the working pressure current, which can reduce the slippage time. If an abnormal change in speed ratio occurs after the gear is engaged, the electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve K2 is immediately disconnected, power is interrupted, and damage to the clutch is avoided.

[0068] When selecting the second power gear, control the pressurization process of the electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve K1. When the absolute value of the difference between the output speed sensor n1 and the theoretical calculated value is less than 30, the electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve K1 quickly applies the working pressure current, which can reduce the slippage time. If an abnormal change in speed ratio occurs after the gear is engaged, immediately disconnect the electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve K1 to interrupt the power and avoid damage to the clutch.

[0069] When the fourth power gear is selected, the solenoid directional valve K3 is effective, controlling the pressurization process of the electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve K1. When the absolute value of the difference between the output speed sensor n1 and the theoretical calculated value is less than 30, the electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve K1 quickly applies the working pressure current, which can reduce the slippage time. If an abnormal change in speed ratio occurs after the gear is engaged, the electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve K1 is immediately disconnected, power is interrupted, and damage to the clutch is avoided.

[0070] When selecting mechanical first gear, first disconnect the electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve K1 or electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve K2 of the real-time power gear, open the solenoid directional valve K6, and then restore the control of the previously disconnected proportional valve. Through creep and closed-loop adaptive control pressurization, reliable gear engagement and smooth and quick gear shifting of mechanical first gear are ensured.

[0071] When selecting mechanical second gear, first disconnect the electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve K1 or electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve K2 of the real-time power gear, open the solenoid directional valve K5, and then restore the control of the previously disconnected proportional valve. Through creep and closed-loop adaptive control pressurization, reliable gear engagement and smooth and quick gear shifting of mechanical first gear are ensured.

[0072] When selecting the mechanical high gear, first disconnect the real-time power gear electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve K1 or electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve K2, open the solenoid directional valve K6, and then restore the control of the previously disconnected proportional valve. Through creep and closed-loop adaptive control pressurization, reliable gear engagement and smooth and quick gear shifting of the mechanical first gear are ensured.

[0073] When selecting the mechanical low gear, first disconnect the real-time power gear electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve K1 or K2, close the solenoid directional valve K6, and then restore the control of the previously disconnected proportional valve. Through creep and closed-loop adaptive control pressurization, reliable gear engagement and smooth and quick gear shifting of the mechanical first gear are ensured.

[0074] The front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive control method of the hydraulic system in this embodiment is as follows:

[0075] 1. Front-drive mode: When the solenoid reversing valve K8 is de-energized, the four-wheel drive cylinder 38 controls the fourth synchronizer 22 to disengage from the front-drive / four-wheel drive switching gear 30, and the rear output component EE has no power output;

[0076] II. Four-wheel drive mode: When the solenoid reversing valve K8 is energized, the four-wheel drive cylinder 38 controls the fourth synchronizer 22 to engage with the front-wheel drive / four-wheel drive switching gear 30, and the rear output component EE has power output.

[0127] This invention relates to a transmission structure and control method combining power shift and electro-hydraulic mechanical shift. It eliminates the main clutch series structure and proposes a transmission structure using a wet clutch and an electro-hydraulic synchronizer for shifting. The power shift employs a drive structure combining proportional valves and switching valves to reduce costs while maintaining performance. The synchronizer mechanical shifting actuator is driven by an electro-hydraulic valve pushing a cylinder, further reducing costs while maintaining performance. Based on the transmission's mechanical and hydraulic characteristics, the control system combines engine speed, main transmission power output speed, and overall transmission output speed. Through closed-loop adaptive calculation, it controls the proportional valve, achieving smooth and quick starting and shifting through the slippage of the wet clutch. After gear engagement, three speed sensors calculate the current gear and gear ratio, monitoring in real time. If abnormal slippage occurs, power is immediately cut off to protect the transmission and improve reliability. This invention achieves 16 forward gears and 8 reverse gears through electro-hydraulic power.
