The core structure of the electric eddy current retarder includes a stator coil, a rotor and an electronic control unit. By adjusting the current of the coil, the size of the reverse torque opposite to the driving shaft can be controlled, which can significantly reduce the risk of thermal decay of the friction brake and is an effective way to optimize the problem of brake overheating.

In some working conditions, the sudden change of the transmission system torque causes impact vibration between the electric eddy current retarder rotor, the transmission, the transmission shaft and the drive axle, i.e. the "knocking abnormal noise" fault.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] Various embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The present disclosure can have various embodiments, and adjustments and changes can be made therein. However, it should be understood that there is no intention to limit various embodiments of the present disclosure to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but the present disclosure should be understood to encompass all adjustments, equivalents and / or alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0022] In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the expression "or" or "at least one of A or / and B" includes any combination of the listed terms or all combinations thereof. For example, the expression "A or B" or "at least one of A or / and B" can include A, can include B, or can include both A and B.

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0024] When the clutch pedal is operated, the power between the gearbox and the engine is interrupted, and the drive axle is converted from the driving mode to the reverse towing mode. The gear shaft system composed of the gearbox, the transmission shaft and the drive axle has a transient impact. Since the electric eddy current retarder rotor with large rotational inertia is installed on the output / input flange of the gearbox / transmission shaft, the transient impact energy is large and difficult to quickly decay, and thus the transmission system is violently oscillated to cause knocking noise failure. Referring to Figure 1The figure shows a flow chart of a method for processing a knocking abnormality of a vehicle transmission system in an embodiment, the transmission system comprising an engine and a gearbox connected by a clutch, an electric eddy current brake installed at an output end of the gearbox, and a transmission shaft connecting the gearbox and a drive axle, the electric eddy current brake comprising a rotor and a plurality of stator coils, refer to Figure 2 The figure shows a structural schematic diagram of a transmission system provided by an embodiment of the application, comprising an engine 1, a clutch 2, a gearbox 3, an electric eddy current brake 4, a transmission shaft 5, and a drive axle 6, the engine 1 being fixed to the vehicle, the clutch 2 connecting the engine 1 and the gearbox 3, the gearbox 3 being fixed to the vehicle, the electric eddy current brake 4 being installed on the gearbox 3, the transmission shaft 5 linking the gearbox 3 and the drive axle 6, both ends of the transmission shaft 5 being respectively provided with universal joints, and the drive axle 6 being fixed to the vehicle; refer to Figure 3 The figure shows that the electric eddy current brake 4 comprises an electric eddy current brake rotor 401 and electric eddy current brake stator 402 coils, the electric eddy current brake rotor 401 being fixed to an output of the gearbox 3, and the electric eddy current brake stator 402 coils being six in number and being fixedly installed in the electric eddy current brake rotor 401.

[0025] Specifically, the processing method comprises the following execution steps: Step 100: monitoring a vehicle speed and a clutch pedal depth.

[0026] Specifically, a linear displacement sensor or an angle displacement sensor installed on a clutch pedal arm is used to measure a linear moving distance of the pedal and a rotation angle of the pedal around a fulcrum, so as to convert a physical displacement amount of the pedal into a linear electrical signal, the electrical signal being 0% when the pedal is completely released and 100% when the pedal is completely depressed to the bottom. Vehicle speed data provided by an engine control unit is directly read through an OBD-II diagnostic interface located below a driver seat of the vehicle, or real-time speed and position of the vehicle are calculated through satellite signals by using a GPS speed sensor. A multi-channel data acquisition instrument is used to ensure that data of all channels have the same time stamp.

[0027] Step 101: when the vehicle speed is lower than a preset vehicle speed, executing an abnormality suppression control strategy, otherwise controlling the electric eddy current brake according to a driver brake handle gear position.

[0028] Since the transmission system itself cannot quickly attenuate oscillation caused by a large-inertia rotor when semi-engagement, a reverse damping torque is generated by using the electric eddy current brake itself to actively “cancel” the oscillation. The abnormality suppression control strategy is divided into the following two cases. Case 1: if the clutch pedal depth is less than a preset threshold, controlling the electric eddy current brake according to a driver brake handle gear position.

[0029] For example, if the clutch pedal depth is less than 60%, the electric eddy current retarder is controlled according to the driver's retarder handle gear position.

[0030] Case 2: If the clutch pedal depth is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the total time for the clutch pedal to be depressed to the bottom is predicted according to the speed at which the clutch pedal is depressed, and different sizes of damping torque are output by the electric eddy current retarder according to the length of the total time to suppress transmission system oscillation.

[0031] By utilizing the electric eddy current retarder itself, an adjustable reverse damping torque is output according to the predicted impact severity (total time length) to directly counter and quickly attenuate the bidirectional torsional oscillation of the transmission system caused by the power interruption of the clutch and the large inertia of the retarder rotor, solving the limitation of traditional solutions that can only suppress unidirectional impact. Moreover, an accurate mapping relationship between impact severity (total time) and damping torque size is established. In severe impact (short total time), large damping is provided to quickly dampen; in moderate impact (long total time), small damping is provided, avoiding knocking noise and ensuring smooth and comfortable driving, achieving an optimal solution for double goals.

[0032] It should be noted that the control of the electric eddy current retarder to output different sizes of damping torque is achieved by controlling the energization of different numbers of stator coils. The shorter the total time, the more stator coils are controlled to be energized.

[0033] The faster it is depressed - the more sudden the power interruption - the greater the impact - the stronger the damping (more stator coils are turned on, such as 6). The slower it is depressed - the more gradual the power interruption - the smaller the impact - the weaker the damping (fewer stator coils are turned on, such as 2 or 4), to balance smoothness.

[0034] In a specific embodiment, controlling the electric eddy current retarder to output different sizes of damping torque to suppress transmission system oscillation according to the length of the total time includes the following four cases: Case 1: If the total time is less than a first preset time length, all stator coils are controlled to be energized.

[0035] Case 2: If the total time is greater than or equal to the first preset time length and less than a second preset time length, a first number of stator coils are controlled to be energized.

[0036] Case 3: If the total time is greater than or equal to the second preset time length and less than a third preset time length, a second number of stator coils are controlled to be energized, wherein the second number is less than the first number.

[0037] Case 4: If the total time is greater than or equal to the third preset time length, the electric eddy current retarder is controlled according to the driver's retarder handle gear position.

[0038] The first preset time length is less than the second preset time length, and the second preset time length is less than the third preset time length.

[0039] In some embodiments, when the vehicle is in a full engagement state of the clutch and the vehicle speed is lower than the preset vehicle speed, the second number of stator coils is controlled to be energized.

[0040] By effectively suppressing the violent impact oscillation, the dynamic alternating load borne by the key transmission components such as the gearbox, the transmission shaft and the drive axle is significantly reduced, the abnormal wear of the gears, bearings and other parts is reduced from the source, and the service life of the entire transmission system is prolonged.

[0041] For example, it is determined whether the vehicle speed reaches 15 km / h before the knocking abnormal sound occurs. If the vehicle speed is higher than 15 km / h, the electric eddy current retarder is controlled according to the retarder handle gear position of the driver, and other control strategies do not intervene. If the vehicle speed is lower than 15 km / h, it is further determined whether the clutch pedal depth is less than 60%. If the clutch pedal depth is less than 60%, the electric eddy current retarder is controlled according to the retarder handle gear position of the driver, and other control strategies do not intervene. If the clutch pedal depth is greater than 60%, it is further determined whether the total time of the clutch pedal to the bottom is less than 0.4 seconds. If the total time of the clutch pedal to the bottom is less than 0.4 seconds, the six electric eddy current retarder stators of the electric eddy current retarder are controlled to be energized to provide the maximum reverse oscillation torque to limit the violent oscillation of the transmission shaft and the electric eddy current retarder rotor, so as to avoid causing the knocking abnormal sound failure. If the total time of the clutch pedal to the bottom is greater than or equal to 0.4 seconds and less than 0.9 seconds, the four electric eddy current retarder stators of the electric eddy current retarder are controlled to be randomly energized to provide the matched reverse oscillation torque to limit the oscillation of the transmission shaft and the electric eddy current retarder rotor, so as to avoid causing the knocking abnormal sound failure and take into account the smoothness of the vehicle. If the total time of the clutch pedal to the bottom is greater than or equal to 0.9 seconds and less than 2 seconds, the two electric eddy current retarder stators of the electric eddy current retarder are controlled to be randomly energized to provide the smaller reverse oscillation torque to limit the oscillation of the transmission shaft and the electric eddy current retarder rotor, so as to avoid causing the knocking abnormal sound failure and take into account the smoothness of the vehicle. If the total time of the clutch pedal to the bottom is greater than or equal to 2 seconds, the electric eddy current retarder will not cause the obvious knocking problem of the transmission system, and the electric eddy current retarder is controlled according to the retarder handle gear position of the driver, and other control strategies do not intervene.

[0042] By using two clear and measurable key parameters, vehicle speed < 15 km / h and clutch pedal depth > 60%, the specific working condition of low speed and heavy load semi-linkage which is most likely to cause knocking noise is accurately locked. This makes the intervention timing extremely accurate, avoids false operation in conditions that do not need intervention, and ensures that the original intention of the driver is not affected. Moreover, a multi-level and quantitative damping torque control strategy is established (such as 0.4 seconds / 6 coils, 0.9 seconds / 4 coils, 2 seconds / 2 coils). This strategy ensures that the reverse oscillation torque applied is strictly positively correlated with the predicted impact energy. In the case of severe impact (fast pedal), maximum damping is provided to ensure absolutely reliable noise suppression; in the case of moderate impact (slow pedal), moderate damping is provided to eliminate noise while maximizing vehicle smoothness, solving the problem of smoothness degradation caused by the one-size-fits-all approach of traditional solutions.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, when the vehicle clutch 2 is in full linkage state and the vehicle speed is higher than the preset speed, the electric eddy current retarder 4 is not working normally, and its working gear is controlled by the retarder gear handle in the cab. When the vehicle clutch 2 is in full linkage state and the vehicle speed is lower than the preset speed, the two coils of the electric eddy current retarder stator 402 are energized.

[0044] Further, when the vehicle clutch 2 is in semi-linkage state and the vehicle speed is lower than the preset speed, the working state of the electric eddy current retarder 4 is determined according to the pedal position change percentage signal of the clutch 2. When it is determined that the time for stepping on the clutch pedal to the bottom is less than the fastest time threshold and the clutch pedal depth is greater than the set threshold, the six coils of the electric eddy current retarder stator 402 are energized. When the vehicle clutch 2 is in semi-linkage state and the vehicle speed is lower than the preset speed, the working state of the electric eddy current retarder 4 is determined according to the pedal position change percentage signal of the clutch 2. When it is determined that the time for stepping on the clutch pedal to the bottom is greater than the fastest time threshold and less than the medium time threshold, and the clutch pedal depth is greater than the set threshold, the four coils of the electric eddy current retarder stator 402 are energized. When the vehicle clutch 2 is in semi-linkage state and the vehicle speed is lower than the preset speed, the working state of the electric eddy current retarder 4 is determined according to the pedal position change percentage signal of the clutch 2. When it is determined that the time for stepping on the clutch pedal to the bottom is greater than the medium time threshold and less than the slowest time threshold, and the clutch pedal depth is greater than the set threshold, the two coils of the electric eddy current retarder stator 402 are energized. When the vehicle clutch 2 is in semi-linkage state and the vehicle speed is lower than the preset speed, the working state of the electric eddy current retarder 4 is determined according to the pedal position change percentage signal of the clutch 2. When it is determined that the time for stepping on the clutch pedal to the bottom is greater than the slowest time threshold, the electric eddy current retarder 4 is controlled according to the retarder gear handle gear in the cab.

[0045] It should be noted that the slowest time threshold, the medium time threshold, and the fastest time threshold can be set according to specific application scenarios, for example, the slowest time threshold is 0.4 seconds, the medium time threshold is 0.9 seconds, and the fastest time threshold is 2 seconds, which are not limited herein.

[0046] Referring to Figure 4 As shown in the detailed implementation flowchart of the method for processing the knocking abnormal noise fault of the vehicle transmission system provided by the embodiment of the present application, the method comprises the following process: during operation, when the clutch 2 pedal is actuated, the power between the gearbox 3 and the engine 1 is interrupted, thereby causing the drive axle 6 to be converted from the driving mode to the reverse towing mode, and the gear shaft system composed of the gearbox 3, the transmission shaft 5, and the drive axle 6 exists transient impact. Since the electric eddy current retarder rotor 401 with large rotational inertia is installed on the output flange of the gearbox 3 and the input flange of the transmission shaft 5, the transient impact energy is large and difficult to quickly attenuate, thereby causing the transmission system to violently oscillate and cause the knocking abnormal noise fault. The method of the present application determines whether the vehicle speed reaches the preset vehicle speed before the knocking abnormal noise occurs. If the vehicle speed is higher than the preset vehicle speed, the electric eddy current retarder 4 is controlled to work according to the driver's retarder handle gear position, and other control strategies do not intervene. If the vehicle speed is lower than the preset vehicle speed, the clutch 2 pedal depth is further determined. If the clutch 2 pedal depth is less than the set threshold, the electric eddy current retarder 4 is controlled to work according to the driver's retarder handle gear position, and other retarder control strategies do not intervene. If the clutch 2 pedal depth is greater than the set threshold, the total time for the clutch pedal to be depressed to the bottom is further predicted according to the clutch pedal depression speed. If the total time for the clutch pedal to be depressed to the bottom is less than the fastest time threshold, the six electric eddy current retarder stators 401 of the electric eddy current retarder 4 are controlled to be powered on to work, providing the maximum reverse oscillation torque to limit the violent oscillation of the transmission shaft 5 and the electric eddy current retarder rotor 402, thereby avoiding causing the knocking abnormal noise fault. If the total time for the clutch pedal to be depressed to the bottom is greater than the fastest time threshold and less than the medium time threshold, the four electric eddy current retarder stators 401 of the electric eddy current retarder 4 are controlled to be powered on to work at random, providing the matched reverse oscillation torque to limit the oscillation of the transmission shaft 5 and the electric eddy current retarder rotor 402, thereby avoiding causing the knocking abnormal noise fault and taking into account the vehicle smoothness. If the total time for the clutch pedal to be depressed to the bottom is greater than the medium time threshold and less than the slowest time threshold, the two electric eddy current retarder stators 401 of the electric eddy current retarder 4 are controlled to be powered on to work at random, providing the smaller reverse oscillation torque to limit the oscillation of the transmission shaft 5 and the electric eddy current retarder rotor 402, thereby avoiding causing the knocking abnormal noise fault and taking into account the vehicle smoothness. If the total time for the clutch pedal to be depressed to the bottom is greater than the slowest time threshold, the transmission system will not cause obvious knocking problems. The electric eddy current retarder 4 is controlled to work according to the driver's retarder handle gear position, and other control strategies do not intervene.

[0047] In the prior art, the output rotor is usually installed with a torque damping coupling, which can reduce the impact of torque and thus reduce the impact of the power chain downstream of the retarder. Another technical solution controls the operation of the retarder through the determination of the clutch pedal opening signal, and the retarder simulates the engine's counter-towing force to alleviate the wideband knocking noise caused by the repeated impact of the gear after the clutch is depressed and the engine counter-towing torque disappears. The existing solution only considers the gear knocking problem caused by the opening and closing of the clutch, and simulates the engine's counter-towing force through the retarder to suppress one-way impact, without considering the knocking problem caused by the large moment of inertia of the transmission system and the two-way impact force buffering problem. Moreover, the traditional retarder operation requires an active cooling system, which will have a certain impact on the energy consumption of the vehicle, especially in slow crawl conditions. In the present embodiment, through the identification of vehicle driving conditions and problem conditions, the matching of the working mechanism of the electric eddy current retarder and the abnormal noise problem mechanism, the calibration method of the electric eddy current retarder working mode and the vehicle driving condition is completed without increasing the product manufacturing cost. Under the premise of taking into account the vehicle ride comfort and economy, the rapid decay of the bidirectional oscillation energy of the commercial vehicle transmission system is realized, and the transmission system knocking and abnormal noise fault in specific conditions is solved.

[0048] It should be understood that the size of the serial number of each step in the above embodiment does not mean the order of execution, and the execution order of each process should be determined according to its function and inherent logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.
