Double disconnect transmission reverser with disconnect synchronizer
A control system for a transmission reverser, which includes an output shaft, an output gear, a reverse gear, a forward clutch, an input power clutch, a first reverse disconnect device, and a second reverse disconnect device, has one or more controllers with processing and memory architecture configured to execute control logic to control the transmission reverser in a start-up mode, a forward mode and a reverse mode. In the start-up mode, the one or more controllers command the input power clutch and the first reverse disconnect device to simultaneously engage momentarily to apply an engagement torque to the second reverse disconnect device.
POWER TRANSMISSION CONTROL DEVICE
An object is to reduce a delay in response. An automatic gear changing control device includes a sleeve which is moved by an actuator to perform an engagement operation, an engine which is connected to an input shaft, and a control unit which controls the movement of the sleeve by the actuator and controls the rotation of the input shaft by the engine or a motor generator. The control unit performs synchronization control of controlling the rotation of the input shaft for the engagement operation at a different gear stage after the engagement is released and starts shift control of moving the sleeve to an engagement completion position by the actuator before at least the synchronization is completed.
METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A POWERTRAIN OF A VEHICLE HAVING A DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION
A method for controlling a powertrain of a vehicle, the powertrain a dual-clutch transmission including a first clutch and a second clutch selectively actuated to transmit motion from the engine to a first shaft and a second shaft respectively. The method includes producing a first shift request for shifting from an initial gear to a different gear; in response to the first shift request, executing a first shift sequence to shift from the initial gear to the different gear; during execution of the first shift sequence, producing a second shift request for shifting from the different gear to the initial gear; in response to the second shift request: interrupting the first shift sequence prior to the first shift sequence having finished; and executing a second shift sequence to reverse the first shift sequence such that the transmission engages the initial gear for driving on the first shaft.
Shift control method for an automated range-change transmission
A method for shift control of an automated auxiliary transmission that is mounted in a drive train of a motor vehicle between a drive motor (AM) and a final drive, and includes at least one multi-step main gearing (HG) and one two-step front-mounted group (VG) connected upstream of the main gearing (HG), and with which the main gearing (HG) can be shifted via unsynchronized clutches and the front-mounted group can be shifted via synchronized clutches. Depending on the currently existing driving or operating situation, a gear change is performed in the auxiliary transmission through a change in the transmission ratio step (G1, G2, G3) of the main gearing (HG) while maintaining the currently engaged transmission ratio step (K1, K2) in the front-mounted group (VG).
Transmission Control Method
A method for operating a transmission for a motor vehicle having an input shaft, a first shaft connectable to the input shaft via a first input clutch and a second shaft connectable to the input shaft via a second input clutch, a plurality of separating clutches, and an output shaft. Different gear ratios between the input and output shafts are implementable by selective engagement of the plurality of clutches. A first torque transmission path between the first and second shafts is engageable with a first friction-locking clutch and a second torque transmission path between the first and second shafts is engageable with a second friction-locking clutch. The method includes actuating, at least intermittently during a synchronization phase in an upshift process of the transmission, the first friction-locking clutch to transmit a first torque and the second friction-locking clutch to transmit a second torque.
HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
A hydrostatic transmission control system includes a controller that monitors inputs for shifting a transmission of a tractor to a different range gear; determines if an engine on the tractor is operating in a desired and acceptable shift range based on a sensed speed and a load of the engine, and determines if a hydrostatic transmission on the tractor is operating in a desired and acceptable shift range based on a sensed load and a speed of the hydrostatic transmission. If the controller determines the engine and the hydrostatic transmission are operating in the desired and acceptable shift range, the controller commands an oncoming clutch to ramp up and an off going clutch to ramp down, and synchronizes speeds of the engine and the hydrostatic transmission.
Power transmission apparatus for vehicle
A power transmission apparatus for a vehicle includes a first input shaft selectively connected with an engine output shaft through a first clutch; a second input shaft selectively connected to the engine output shaft through a second clutch; a third input shaft selectively connected to the engine output shaft through a third clutch; a power transmission shaft disposed about the external circumference of the second input shaft; first and second center shafts selectively connected with each other through a fourth clutch; an idle shaft disposed in parallel with the first input shaft; a fixed transmission for selectively shifting torque input to various shafts and outputting the torque through the second center shaft and the power transmission shaft; a composite transmission configured to complementarily composite shift and output input torque; and an output shaft outputting the torque transmitted from the composite transmission to a final reduction gear.
Control device of vehicle
A control device of a vehicle including a multi-speed transmission having gear positions switched by executing release of a release-side engagement device out of a plurality of engagement devices and engagement of an engagement-side engagement device out of the plurality of engagement devices, and an engine of which a power is transmitted through the multi-speed transmission to drive wheels, the control device performing a shift of the multi-speed transmission by using a predefined shift model for determining control operation amounts of a torque at an input rotating member of the multi-speed transmission, a torque capacity of the release-side engagement device, and a torque capacity of the engagement-side engagement device, the control operation amounts achieving shift target values that are a target value of a torque at an output rotating member of the multi-speed transmission and a target value of angular acceleration of the input rotating member of the multi-speed transmission, the control device comprising: a condition setting portion setting a condition necessary for determining the control operation amounts using the shift model such that during a downshift performed during deceleration running associated with accelerator-off state, an output torque of the engine is raised with the release-side engagement device released so as to increase a rotation speed of the input rotating member of the multi-speed transmission toward a synchronous rotation speed after the downshift and such that the engagement-side engagement device is then engaged; and a shift target value setting portion setting the target value of the torque at the output rotating member of the multi-speed transmission during the downshift such that the torque at the output rotating member of the multi-speed transmission is increased from a value of the torque at the output rotating member before the downshift within a range of zero or less, and when a rotation speed of the input rotating member of the multi-speed transmission approaches the synchronous rotation speed after the downshift, the target value is reduced toward a torque at the output rotating member after the downshift.
