Description
THRESHOLD OPERAT~ON OF A VEHICLE TRANSMISSION
-BACKGROUND OF TE]E INVENTION
This invention relates to a system for controlling the operation of a vehicle's ~ransmission a~ a threshold level of the vehicle's engine outputO More specifically, the invention relates to a system for delaying the operation of a vehicle's transmission until the engine output speed has attained a predetermined level.
Many modern day vehicles are fully capable of utilizing the vehicle engine for providing both auxiliary ~unctions and vehicle drive. Such vehicles can include, as examples, aerial lift trucks, grade trimmers, fork lif~s, dozers, trenchers and front end loaders. In the control of such vehicles, the operator sets engine speed at a predetermined governed value for powering all functions of the machine~ Thus, when the bucket of a front end loader is to be operated, for example, he levers fo~ controlling the orientation of the bucket are operated and, when the machine is to be driven in the forward ox reverse direction, the forwaxd and reverse drive pedals are opera~ed to in turn operate ~he transmission of the vehicle~ Such an aperation means that when the vehicle is standing still and the bucket is being operated as one of the auxiliary functions of the vehicle, the vehicle's engine is quite likely supplying excessive horsepower and, thereforer consuming excessive fuel.
The present invention instead dr~ves the transmis-sion of the vehicle as a func~ion of engine speed so that a range of engine speed is provided for powering the auxiliary functions of the vehicle before the additional power neces-sary to drive the vehicle is provided. Thus, the present invention allows the engine to run fast enough for supplying _f~ . ~
.
9 ~ 3 the auxiliary functions wi~hout providi.ng transmission output. At higher engine speeds, the transmission output adapts to engine rpm in a load con-trol manner; that is, if the engi.ne speed drops because of excess load, the transmission "downshifts". This "downshift" also occurs as a result of throttle reduction.
SI~MARY OF: TtIF, INVENTION
These advantages are obtained from the present invention in which a sensor senses the output of the engine, a controller which is connected to the sensor controls the transmission output of the vehicle dependent upon the engine output, and a threshold arrangement is connected to the controller for preventing transmission output until the engine output has attained a predetermined level.
More particularly, the present invention provides a system for controlling a transmission of a vehicle dependent upon engine output, said engine being adapted to be driven in a first speed range of operation and also to propel said vehicle by said transmission during a second higher speed range of operation, the transmission having an input connected to an output of the engine and having an output, the system comprising: speed sensing means adapted to sense the output speed of the engine; control :: 20 means connected to said sensing means and adapted to control said transmis-sion output solely dependent upon said engine output; and, threshold means connected to said control means for inhibiting transmission output in the first range of engine operation until said engine output has attained a predetermined reference level, and said control means providing propor-tional control of said transmission relative solely to said engine output speed once said engine output has attained the predetermined reference : level.
BRIEF DESCRIPTI ON OF THE DRAWINGS
These and other features and advantages will become apparent :Erom 3Q a detailed consideration of the invention when taken in conj~mction with the drawings in which:
; 2 .
Figure l shows one type of machine on which the present system can be used;
Figure 2 shows the system according to the present invention; and, Figure 3 is a graph showing swash plate angle of the pump in the hydrostatic transmission shown in Figure 2 as a function of engine output.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In Figure l, front end loader lO comprises bucket ll, operator's cab 12 and engine 13. Inside operator's cab 12 are the various levers and pedals for controlling the forward and reverse progress of vehicle lO and the orientation and work performed by bucket ll. Since vehicle lO is of ordinary design, the details of it will not be specifi-~0 ~' -2a-cally shown herein. However, the control system for propelling vehicle lO is shown in detail in Figure 2.
As shown in Figure 2, vehicle lO has its engine 13 controlled by lever 14 (which alternatively may be a foot pedal3 connected to engine 13 by shaft 15. Lever 14 controls the amount of fuel supplied to engine 13 and therefore controls the rotational speed of engine output 160 Output 16 is ~hen connected to hydrostatic transmission 20 in the form of hydraulic pump 21 and hydraulic motor 22 interconnected by hydraulic lines 23 and 24. Hydraulic motor 22 then has an output shaft 25 connected to the drive train of the vehicle for propulsion.
The system according to the present invention for providin~ the operation described herein comprises pulse pickup unit 30 sensing the speed of rotation of disc 31 affixed to engine output 16 and providing a series of output pulses the frequency of which is dependent upon this speed.
Typically, disc 31 has a plur~lity of teeth which interact with a magnetic field established by pulse plckup unit 30 to induce the pulses which are supplied to frequency-to-voltage converter 32. Pulse pickup unit 30 ma~ be an SBlOOA
manufactured by Honeywell Inc. Frequency~to-voltage conver-ter 32 converts the frequency of the pulses received from pulse pickup unit 30 into a voltage proportional to that frequency and supplies that voltage to the positive input of amplifier 33~ The output of ampliier 33 is connected through resistor 34 to one input of summing junction 36.
The function of summing junction 36 and resistor 34 is connected to ground through diode 35 and resistor 41. The other input to summing junction 36 is a reference input which establishes a threshold level below which output shaft 25 of hydros~atic-transmission 20 will not rotate and above~
which the revolutions per minute of output shaft 25 isgoverned by the output o~ engine 130 The output from summing junction 36 is connected to the negative input of amplifier 33~ Frequency-to-voltage converter 32 and ampli~
fier 33 may be a package manufactured by ~oneywell Inc.
under the number W883A. ~esistor 41 and diode 35 are included in the feedback circuit of amplifier 33 for characterizing the output of amplifier 33 as will be discussed with respect to Figure 3.
The output from amplifier 33 is connected through forward/reverse switch 37 the output of which is then connected to valve 38. Yalve 38 may be a V7058A
manufactured by Honeywell Inc. and receives the electrical signal from forward/reverse switch 37 to provide a hydraulic output for controlling the swash plate of pump 21 and, therefore~ the output ~hereof. Forward/reverse switch 37 controls the polarity of the signal supplied to valve 38 for driving vehicle 10 in a forward or a reverse direction.
As described above~ the reference input to summing juncti~n ~6 provides a threshold level for operation of hydrostatic transmission 20. Figure 3 is a graph showing the operation of hydrostatic transmission ~0 as a unction of engine output rpm~ The idle point is the lowest setting of engine 13 providing the lowest output 160 As the engine is throttled upward, output 16 increases and, as a result, ~he pulses from pulse pickup unit 30 increase in frequency.
This increased frequency results in an increased voltage to the positive input of amplifier 33. However, the output from amplifier 33 and forward/reverse switch 37 will not begin to change until the voltage to the positive input of amplifier 33 exceeds the input to the negative input termi-nal which is a function of the reference setting. Once this ._ ~
~1 I ti 4 ~ r7 3 reference setting has been attained by the output from frequency-to-voltage converter 32, the angle of the swash plate of pump 21 will follow curve A of Figure 3 for the forward direction and curve B for the reverse direction.
Curves C and D are provided by the resistor 41 and diode 35 circuit to characterize curves A and B.
It can be seen from Figures 2 and 3 that as the loading on the machine increases, the output 16 of engine 33 reduces which will proportionally reduce the pump swash plate angle and reduce the speed of rotation of output shaft 25 from hydrostatic transmission ~0 resulting in a "downshift". If the forward or reverse progress of vehicle 10 is to be maintained, throttle 14 must be increased to accommodate the increased load up to the point where engine 13 is at its horsepower limit. When vehicle 10 is at a standstill during a time when the~auxiliary functions of the ve~hicle are being utilized, engine speed need only be operated between the idle and the reference point as shown in Figure 3 instead of the higher setting at which present prior art systems are operated. This operation results in an eficient and economical utilization of engine output.
