Description

The selection of automatic gearbox actuating ratio
The present invention relates to the control system of automatic gearbox, specifically, relate to each parameter that detects the automotive suspension situation that expression changes with carload and utilize the control system of these parameters as the controlled variable of Control of Automobile automatic speed changing operation.More particularly, the present invention relates to a kind of in order to the suspension situation that detects the expression carload and utilize the suspension situation to select the automatic gear shifting control system of speed change actuating ratio.
The autonomous driving vehicle speed change system comprises multi-step transmissions, is well-known in the prior art, and this respect can be referring to U.S. Pat P 4,361,060,4,648,290,4,595,986,5,406,861,5,409,432,5,413,012,5,415,604 and 5,416,700, here also the disclosure of these patents include for referring to.Multi-stage mechanical change-speed box with 9,10,12,13,16,18 or above D Drive transmitting ratio is well-known in the prior art, and this respect can be referring to U.S. Pat P5,390,561, also the disclosure of this patent is included for your guidance here.
From U.S. Pat P5,385,515 (here disclosing of this patent being included for your guidance) as can be known, in automatic speed-changing system with 9,10,12,13,16 or 18 speed of a motor vehicle of advancing, depend on the operational circumstances of automobile at that time and decide, any of 4 to 7 advanced than all being the actuating ratio that is suitable for, particularly heavy-duty truck, and be all the more so.The gross weight of heavy-duty truck can be 15,000 pounds to 80,000 pounds or above scope, and this depends on the load of automobile and decides.
The automatic speed-changing system that each parameter of detection expression driving engine or driveline torque or pickup is controlled gear shift usefulness is many all in the prior art, this respect can be referring to U.S. Pat P5,425,689,5,335,566 and 5,272,939, also the content of these patent disclosures is included for your guidance here.
Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of later-model control system through improved vehicle automatic transmission system.
Provided by the invention have detection control apparatus through improved vehicle automatic transmission system, also utilizes these parameters to control the operation of speed change system (the actuating ratio scope of for example selecting actuating ratio or allowing) for the automotive suspension parameter that detects and/or receive expression carload (for example air pressure of Pneumatic suspension).
Below in conjunction with description of drawings most preferred embodiment of the present invention, read this explanation and can know understanding above and other objects of the present invention and advantage.
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram that adopts the vehicle automatic transmission system of system/method of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is the schematic diagram of most preferred embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to Fig. 1, can see the schematic diagram of the automobile automated mechanical transmission 10 that adopts control system/method of the present invention.More this universal system of detail knowledge can be referring to above-mentioned U.S. Pat P 4,361,060,4,959,986,4,648,290 and 5,409,432.
Automatic speed-changing system 10 comprises under the in check combustion engine 12 of fuel charge, the normal circumstances and engaging, the main friction clutch 14 of Fen Liing, multistage automated mechanical transmission 16 and U.S. Pat P 4 selectively, 862,025,4,818,035 and 4,050, the 534 the sort of series connection rear drive shafts that exemplified are 18, also the disclosure of these three US Patent are included for your guidance here.
Receive that based on the electronic control package (ECU) 20 of microprocessor incoming signal 22 backs are handled it by logic rules by programming, send instruction output signal 24.Incoming signal 22 generally comprises from the signal of sensor 26 expression engine speeds, from the signal of sensor 28 expression input shaft rotating speeds, from the signal of sensor 30 expression transmission output speeds with from the signal of sensor 32 expression accelerator pedal positions.Instruction output signal generally can be controlled Engine Injection Mass control executing mechanism 34, clutch actuator 36 and speed change actuating unit 38.Preferably each actuating unit is returned the feedback input signal that ECU20 provides its device service condition of controlling of expression.Not so except that the sensor, can also be equipped with described that a kind of electronic data link DL of industry-standard protocol that resembles SAEJ1922, SAEJ1939 and/or ISO11898 and so on to automobile.
Except that the sensor, system 10 comprises that also sensor 40 is for the one or more parameters that detect automobile suspension system 42, expression carload.(see figure 2) in an example, automobile suspension system 42 comprises a plurality of charging components (" air bag ") 44 between automobile chassis frame 46 and bridge 46 and axle housing 48.System 42 comprises height (H) sensor and valve 50, is connected with air system 52 on being contained in automobile, for adding the compression air to air bag selectively, makes automobile keep the height of being scheduled to.Usually be called in the system of " automatic horizontal control system " in this class, the inflation pressurization degree of air bag is represented the loading condition of automobile, thereby the loading condition of the signal indication automobile that provides of sensor 40.
In having the automobile of automatic horizontal control system, a kind of simpler and inexpensive pressure switch can improve the usefulness of speed change system, and this pressure switch has only two positions: high pressure and locations of low pressure, represent the loading condition of automobile respectively; Heavy load and light load.Certainly, provide the sensor 40 of variable output can more critically control speed change system 10 continuously.
Certainly can also utilize other suspension system parameter of expression carload, for example height (H), spring deflection or the like.
The multi-step transmissions of speed change system, it is applied in gross combined vehicle weight can for example be adjusted to 80 from 20,000 pounds, 000 pound automobile advance the speed of a motor vehicle than between 9 and 18 the time, the usefulness of speed change system 10 has improved, the load indicated value of automobile even ± 5,000 to ± 10,000 pound scope.For example, when the load of automobile is light, takes driving engine to lack fire and hang high gear down and adopt the higher actuating ratio may be more suitable, when the load of automobile is heavy, then only changes once retaining at every turn and adopt the lower actuating ratio may be more suitable.
Therefore, utilize the automotive suspension information of representing carload can improve the usefulness of automatic gearbox as controlled variable.
Though describe with regard to most preferred embodiment of the present invention above, have particularity to a certain degree, but under the prerequisite that does not break away from spirit that the present invention proposes in the back and scope, can carry out various modifications aspect form and the details the foregoing description.
