Hydraulic Circuit and Method for Controlling a Hydraulic Circuit
The invention relates to a hydraulic circuit (1) of a torque transmission device, wherein at least two, in particular closed in a non-actuated state (normally closed), clutches (2, 3) of the torque transmission device can be element (12, 13) of the hydraulic circuit, wherein in a clutch opening state, every clutch valve element (12, 13) is connected to a high-pressure line (30) that is applied with the pressure of a high-pressure hydraulic accumulator (31) and/or generator (32), by means of a pressurisation line (22, 23) for the deflection of the clutch (2, 3), and in a closing state, same is connected to a low-pressure tank (40) by means of a tank line (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49) for releasing a deflection pressure, and wherein the tank lines (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49) of the clutch valve elements (12, 33) are guided to a safety valve (50), in particular by means of a common collection tank line (41), which safety valve can be switched in such a way that the tank lines (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49) can be applied with the pressure of the high-pressure line (30).
Clutch capacity detection systems and methods
A system for a vehicle includes a desired pressure module, a valve actuation module, a filter module, and a capacity detection module. The desired pressure module selectively generates an increase in a desired pressure of hydraulic fluid for a clutch of an automatic transmission. The valve actuation module actuates a solenoid valve based on the desired pressure. The solenoid valve supplies hydraulic fluid to a regulator valve, and the regulator valve supplies hydraulic fluid to the clutch. The filter module filters an acceleration of a shaft of the automatic transmission to generate a filtered acceleration. The capacity detection module indicates whether the clutch reached torque carrying capacity based on the filtered acceleration.
Hydraulic Control Device for an Automatic Transmission
A hydraulic control device for an automatic transmission includes a shut-off valve arranged between a first pressure adjusting device and a respective shifting element cylinder of a plurality of shifting elements. In the first shifting position of the shut-off valve, the first pressure adjusting device is hydraulically connected to the respective shifting element cylinder through the shut-off valve. In the second shifting position of the shut-off valve, the shifting element cylinder is sealed by the shut-off valve relative to the first pressure adjusting device. The shut-off valve is an releasable check valve. The releasable check valve includes a check valve and an unblocking device. The unblocking device is actuatable by a control pressure from a second pressure adjusting device.
