A control method and device for a dual-clutch transmission

ActiveCN115823249BRoad transportGearing controlDownshiftingControl theory
This invention provides a control method and apparatus for a dual-clutch transmission. During vehicle coasting, it detects in real-time whether there is a need for braking downshifting. If a braking downshifting need is detected, it determines whether the need is for multiple gear downshifts. If it is, it collects current operating condition information and, based on this information and the target gear, controls the torque of the target clutch in the dual-clutch transmission to maintain the target torque until the vehicle downshifts from the current gear to the target gear. If the need is for a single gear downshift, it uses a coasting-without-throttle downshifting method to downshift from the current gear to the target gear. Based on this invention, it not only solves the problems of jerking caused by untimely downshifting and frequent clutch interaction when braking hard during coasting, but also addresses the issue of weak throttle response after braking during coasting.
