This invention relates to a power take-off (PTO)
control system and method for an electro-hydraulic
automatic transmission (AMT), solving the technical problems of existing electro-hydraulic AMTs where the PTO relies on an air source and the
system is complex and costly. The invention includes a PTO request button, a TCU (
Transmission Control Unit), a PTO, an electro-hydraulic
clutch disengagement mechanism, an electromagnetic hydraulic valve, and a
clutch hydraulic release bearing. The electro-hydraulic
clutch disengagement mechanism includes an ECU (
Electronic Control Unit), a motor connected to the ECU, a
ball screw, and a release
hydraulic cylinder. The input end of the electromagnetic hydraulic valve is connected to the hydraulic chamber of the release
hydraulic cylinder, and the two output ends are connected to the hydraulic chambers of the PTO
hydraulic cylinder and the clutch hydraulic release bearing, respectively. The control end is connected to the ECU. The output ends can be switched by controlling the movement of the electromagnetic hydraulic valve spool via the ECU. The ECU controls the motor to operate, which drives the
ball screw to push the
piston rod of the release hydraulic cylinder, ultimately causing the PTO shift fork shaft to move under the action of hydraulic oil, thus achieving control of the PTO.
