Abstract
Description
- 1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION
- The present invention relates to controls for partially automated vehicular transmission systems having an engine controller for controlling fueling of an internal combustion engine in response to command output signals from a system controller and a manually operated master friction clutch for drivingly connecting and disconnecting the engine from a transmission input shift. In particular, the present invention relates to a control for an automated vehicular transmission system of the type described which will sense manual disengagement of the master clutch during dynamic conditions with the transmission engaged and will automatically cause the engine to rotate at a speed substantially equal to the sensed or calculated speed of the transmission input shaft to minimize or eliminate shock due to rapid disengagement of the master clutch.
- 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART
- Controls for automated mechanical transmission systems especially wherein dynamic shifting is accomplished while maintaining the master clutch engaged and/or wherein the master clutch is manually controlled and is disengaged only for starting or stopping the vehicle, are known in the prior art, as may be seen by reference to U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,576,065; 4,916,979; 5,335,566; 5,425,689; 5,272,939; 5,479,345; 5,533,946; 5,582,069; 5,582,558; 5,620,392; 5,489,247; 5,490,063 and 5,509,867, the disclosure of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- This problem, and a solution thereto, is addressed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,126,569.
- The prior art systems with manually controlled clutch pedals also provided the opportunity for abuse of the driveline as the driver has the ability, when the vehicle is moving with the transmission engaged, to disengage the clutch, cause the engine to accelerate or decelerate using and then releasing (i.e. engaging) the clutch pedal. This possibly caused driveline component users to use components designed to withstand such abuse, creating over-designed and excessively expensive components.
- The control of the present invention provides a control for a vehicular automated, mechanical transmission system which will sense conditions indicative of potential dynamic abuse of the driveline due to disengaging and then re-engaging a manually controlled master friction clutch and will protect the vehicle from shocks due to such abuse.
- The foregoing is accomplished in a system wherein operating conditions are sensed/determined and engine speed (ES) controlled by sensing vehicle dynamic conditions (i.e., if the vehicle ground speed is high (OS>REF), the transmission is engaged in a gear ratio, and if the master clutch is not fully engaged, then engine speed is controlled to substantially equal transmission input shaft speed (ES=IS=OS*GR).
- The above control logic will minimize large driveline shocks caused by rapidly engaging (“popping”) the master clutch at engine speeds not substantially synchronized to driveline speeds.
- Accordingly, an improved control for at least partially automated mechanical transmission is provided which will minimize driveline shocks due to dynamic clutch “popping”.
- This and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a reading of the following description of the preferred embodiment taken in connection with the attached drawings.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration, in block diagram format, of an automated mechanical transmission system utilizing the control of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration, in flow chart format, of the control of the present invention.
- An at least partially automated mechanical transmission system intended for vehicular use is schematically illustrated in FIG. 1. The
automated transmission system 10 includes a fuel-controlled engine 12 (such as a well-known diesel engine or the like), a multiple-speed, change-gear transmission 14, and a non-positive coupling 16 (such as a friction master clutch) drivingly interposed between the engine and theinput shaft 18 of the transmission. Thetransmission 14 may be of the compound type comprising a main transmission section connected in series with a splitter- and/or range-type auxiliary section. Transmission of this type, especially as used with heavy-duty vehicles, typically have 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16 or 18 forward speeds. Examples of such transmissions may be seen by reference to U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,390,561 and 5,737,978, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. - A
transmission output shaft 20 extends outwardly from thetransmission 14 and is drivingly connected with thevehicle drive axles 22, usually by means of aprop shaft 24. The illustratedmaster friction clutch 16 includes adriving portion 16A connected to the engine crankshaft/flywheel and a drivenportion 16B coupled to thetransmission input shaft 18 and adapted to frictionally engage thedriving portion 16A. See U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,634,541; 5,450,934 and 5,908,100. An upshift bake 26 (also known as an input shaft bake or inertia brake) may be used for selectively decelerating the rotational speed of theinput shaft 18 for more rapid upshifting, as is well known. Input shaft or upshift brakes are known in the prior art, as may be seen in reference to U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,655,407 and 5,713,445. - A microprocessor-based electronic control unit (or ECU)28 is provided for receiving
input signals 30 and for processing same in accordance with predetermined logic rules to issuecommand output signals 32 to various system actuators and the like. Microprocessor-based controllers of this type are well known, and as example thereof may be seen by reference to U.S. Pat. No. 4,595,986. -
System 10 includes arotational speed sensor 34 for sensing rotational speed of the engine and providing an output signal (ES) indicative thereof, arotational speed sensor 36 for sensing the rotational speed of the input-shaft 16 and providing an output signal (IS) indicative thereof and arotational speed sensor 38 for sensing the rotational speed of theoutput shaft 20 and providing an output signal (OS) indicative thereof. Asensor 40 may be provided for sensing the displacement of the throttle pedal and providing an output signal (THL) indicative thereof. Ashift control console 42 may be provided for allowing the operator to select an operating mode of the transmission system and for providing an output signal (GRT) indicative thereof. Alternatively, ashift lever 43 may be provided for shifting the transmission. - As is known, if the clutch is engaged, the rotational speed of the engine may be determined from the speed of the input shaft and/or the speed of the output shaft and the engaged transmission ratio (ES=IS=OS*GR).
-
System 10 also may include sensors for sensing operation of the vehicles foot brake (also called service brakes) and engine brakes, respectively, and for providing signals indicative thereof. - The
master clutch 16 may be controlled by aclutch pedal 48 and possibly also by aclutch actuator 50 responding to output signals from theEUC 28 which may be overridden by operation of the manual clutch pedal. In the preferred embodiment, the clutch is manually controlled and used only to launch and stop the vehicle (see U.S. Pat Nos. 4,850,263; 5,272,939 and 5,425,689). Thetransmission 14 may include atransmission actuator 52, which responds to output signals from theECU 28 and/or which sends input signals to theECU 28 indicative of the selected position thereof. Shift mechanisms of this type, often of the so-called X-Y shifter type, are known in the prior art, as may be seen by reference to U.S. Pat Nos. 5,305,240 and 5,219,391.Actuator 52 may shift the main and/or auxiliary section oftransmission 14. The engaged and disengaged (i.e., “not engaged”) condition ofclutch 16 may be sensed by aposition sensor 16C or may be determined by comparing the speeds of the engine (ES) and the input shaft (IS). - Fueling of the engine is preferably controlled by an
electronic engine controller 54, which accepts command signals form and/or provides input signals to theECU 28. Preferably, theengine controller 54 will communicate with an industry standard data link DL which conforms to well-known industry protocols such as SAE J1922, SAE 1939 and/or ISO 11898. The ECU 28 may be incorporated within theengine controller 54. - Truck transmission with manual starting clutches provided the opportunity for abuse of the driveline by the driver. For example, the driver has the ability, dynamically and/or when starting the vehicle from rest, to fully depress the accelerator and then quickly releasing the clutch. This can be very damaging to the various components of the driveline. Therefore, driveline component manufactures have to design their components to withstand this abuse, creating over-designed, expensive components.
- Automated mechanical transmissions with a manual clutch can prevent much of this abuse with the control algorithm of the present inventions, which does not allow a large differential between input shaft and engine speeds when engaging the clutch when dynamic conditions with the transmission engaged.
- When the vehicle is in motion (OS>REF), the transmission is engaged (GR N) and the master clutch disengaged, engine speed will be caused to be substantially equal to driveline speed (ES=IS=OS* GR).
- Alternatively, the logic may require that the throttle pedal be depressed (THL>REF>0%) and/or engine speed may be limited to no greater than approximately driveline speed. This will reduce or eliminate driveline damage form the clutch being re-engaged at too high an engine speed.
- The control of the present invention is shown in flow chart format in FIG. 2. The control logic of the present invention will prevent or minimize driveline shock caused by dynamic clutch “popping”, allowing less expensive driveline components to be utilized.
- Accordingly, it may be seen that an improved control system/method for controlling starting in an at least partially automated mechanical transmission system is provided.
- Although the present invention has been described with a certain degree of particularity, it is understood that the description of the preferred embodiment is by way of example only and that numerous changes to form and detail are possible without departing form the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claims.
