Method for Controlling a Gear Change in the Case of a Non-Synchronized Dog-Shift Transmission
20180003115 · 2018-01-04 ·

A method is provided for controlling a gear change in the case of a non-synchronized dog-shift transmission having at least one shift fork controllable by way of a selector drum, wherein, by way of a position sensor on the selector drum, the rotational position of the selector drum is sensed and is transmitted to an electronic control unit for controlling a drive motor. By use of the sensed rotational position, the control unit detects whether the/a shift fork is in an intermediate position, in which none of the two possible gears associated with the shift fork is engaged. If the shift fork is in the intermediate position, the rotational speed of the drive motor is controlled to a middle value between the target rotational speeds of the two possible gears if in addition the clutch between the drive motor and the dog-shift transmission is open.

Transmissions, control systems for transmissions, and methods of operating transmissions are disclosed. A transmission includes an input shaft, an output shaft, one or more clutches, and a control system. The input shaft is configured to receive rotational power supplied by a drive unit. The output shaft is coupled to the input shaft and configured to provide rotational power supplied to the input shaft to a load. The one or more clutches are coupled between the input shaft and the output shaft to selectively transmit rotational power between the input shaft and the output shaft in one or more operating modes of the transmission. Each of the one or more clutches is selectively engageable in response to one or more fluid pressures applied thereto. The control system is configured to control operation of the one or more clutches to select the one or more operating modes of the transmission.

CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD OF AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
20170268665 · 2017-09-21 ·

A control apparatus of an automatic transmission including a plurality of gear mechanisms, frictional elements, an oil pressure supply device which supplies an oil pressure for operating the frictional elements between an engaged state and a disengaged state and an oil pressure controller which controls an oil pressure for operating the plurality of frictional elements. The oil pressure controller determines a heat quantity absorbed by the plurality of frictional elements when the frictional elements are switched between the engaged state and the disengaged state, and changes an operation state before the frictional elements proceed to the engaged state or the disengaged state, in accordance with whether the frictional elements have absorbed a predetermined heat quantity.

METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A MOTOR VEHICLE HAVING A PARK LOCK
20210061260 · 2021-03-04 ·

A method for controlling a motor vehicle having at least one park lock. A drive train of the motor vehicle has a drive motor, wheel, and a transmission. An operating element actuates the park lock, which can assume a blocking position, in which the park lock blocks the drive train and/or a part of the drive train, and a release position. After actuation of the operating element, the park lock is switched from the release position into the blocking position (or vice versa). Here, the speed of the motor vehicle is determined. After actuation of the operating element and if the park lock assumes the release position beforehand, it is checked whether the speed is greater than a predefined first threshold value. If this check was successful, a first warning signal is produced; and the switching of the park lock into the blocking position is performed.
