Description

A control method and system for gear shifting process of electric drive gearbox of engineering machinery TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of engineering machinery, and relates to a control method and system for gear shifting process of electric drive gearbox of engineering machinery. BACKGROUND

[0002] Electric drive of engineering machinery is increasingly developing, and a traditional power transmission route of engine + power shift gearbox is replaced by a route represented by motor + power shift gearbox (hereinafter referred to as electric drive gearbox). Since the speed and torque coverage range of the motor is wider, the number of gears of the electric drive gearbox can be greatly reduced compared with the traditional gearbox, thus causing the speed ratio step difference between the gears of the gearbox to be significantly increased. Meanwhile, due to the difference between the characteristics of the motor and the engine, the cancellation of the hydraulic torque converter in the gearbox, and other reasons, the smoothness of the gear shifting process of the electric drive gearbox is more difficult to control, the driving experience is poor, and the development of electric drive of the engineering machinery industry is seriously restricted.

[0003] The prior art has the following defects:

[0004] The existing patent reduces the torque of the motor during the gear shifting process, which is beneficial to the speed synchronization of the motor after the clutch is filled with oil and drags the motor, but for the downshift condition, reducing the torque of the motor is not conducive to the speed rise of the motor (the motor should rise in speed during downshift), thus making the speed synchronization more difficult and affecting the smoothness of gear shifting.

[0005] The existing document changes the working mode of the motor during the gear shifting process to speed up the motor and realize the speed synchronization of the master and slave friction plates. This technology is a commonly used gear shifting speed regulation method for AMT vehicles, and the gear shifting process control is complex. Moreover, the working condition of engineering machinery and the load change are severe. If the load suddenly increases during the speed regulation process, a strong power interruption will be generated, and the speed may not be synchronized.

[0099] The demand gear Gear Req and the current gear Gear Curr are judged: if Gear Req >Gear Curr , the gearbox is an upshift demand; if Gear Req <Gear Curr , the gearbox is a downshift demand.

[0100] The clutch participating in the shift is judged, the clutch corresponding to the current gear is the to-be-separated clutch, the clutch corresponding to the demand gear is the to-be-combined clutch, and if the current gear and the demand gear contain a clutch at the same time, the clutch can not participate in the separation and combination in the shift process according to the clutch control strategy.

[0101] The gearbox shift type is judged according to the motor output torque T Motor and the slope signal a: if T Motor is less than the large load shift preset condition T t and a is less than the large slope shift preset condition a t , the shift type is a small and medium load shift; otherwise, it is a large load shift.

[0102] (1) When the shift type is judged to be a small and medium load upshift, the small and medium load upshift process control of one embodiment of the present application is shown in Figs. 3 and 4, and the shift process control steps are as follows:

[0103] (1-1) The to-be-separated clutch is controlled to reduce the oil pressure to 0 bar at a first slope value to complete the gear disengagement;

[0104] (1-2) After the pre-priming of the to-be-engaged clutch, the oil pressure is kept below the half-engagement point to prevent the clutch from slipping in advance and causing speed fluctuation;

[0105] (1-3) The gearbox control unit requests the motor to output a negative torque T1 to control the motor speed to decrease, so that the speed difference between the driving and driven ends of the to-be-engaged clutch gradually decreases;

[0106] (1-4) When the speed difference is less than Dn1, the oil pressure of the to-be-engaged clutch is controlled to rise to the target oil pressure within a first time period;

[0107] (1-5) The gearbox control unit controls the motor torque to recover to the whole-machine requested motor torque value within a second time period, and exits the overreach control, completing the gear shifting.

[0115] In particular, if the speed decrease rate of the gearbox output shaft is greater than Δv during the small-medium load upshift or downshift process, it is determined that the operating condition of the whole machine has changed suddenly, the to-be-engaged clutch no longer maintains the oil pressure below the half engagement, but increases the oil pressure of the to-be-engaged clutch to the target oil pressure at a second slope value, quickly recovering the power transmission.

[0116] (3) When the shift type is judged as large load upshift or large load downshift, in order to make the whole machine not appear power interruption, as shown in FIG. 7, the oil pressure curves of the to-be-disengaged clutch and the to-be-engaged clutch need to be controlled to have a certain degree of intersection, so as to realize torque exchange, ensure that the power is not interrupted during the shift process, and the shift process oil pressure control strategy is consistent with the traditional engine-driven gearbox shift, and the application will not be described again.

[0117] The system and method described above reduce the clutch sliding friction work during the shift process of the electrically-driven gearbox, shorten the shift time, and solve the shift roughness problem caused by improper clutch oil pressure control during the shift synchronization process of the electrically-driven gearbox.
