METHOD FOR AN OPEN-LOOP AND/OR CLOSED-LOOP CONTROL OF A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
20170307065 · 2017-10-26 ·

A method for the control of a hydraulic system of a motor vehicle is provided. A high-pressure branch is fed by a main oil pump which is driven by an internal combustion engine. The high-pressure branch or a low-pressure branch is fed by an additional oil pump depending on a switch position of a switching valve. The additional oil pump is used for feeding the high-pressure branch or the low-pressure branch depending on a total volume flow demand and on the volume flow available from the main oil pump. A nominal rotation speed of an electric motor which drives the additional oil pump is determined based on a volume flow balance, a valve status of the switching valve, a low-pressure pump map or a high-pressure pump map. Depending on the valve status, either the low-pressure pump map or the high-pressure pump map is used to determine the nominal rotation speed.
