Definitions
- Continuously variable transmissions (CVT) and transmissions that are substantially continuously variable are increasingly gaining acceptance in various applications.
- the process of controlling the ratio provided by the CVT is complicated by the continuously variable or minute gradations in ratio presented by the CVT.
- a transmission is capable of implementing a combination of a CVT with one or more additional CVT stages, one or more fixed ratio range splitters, or some combination thereof in order to extend the range of available ratios.
- the combination of a CVT with one or more additional stages further complicates the ratio control process, as the transmission will have multiple
- the different transmission configurations can for example, multiply input torque across the different transmission stages in different manners to achieve the same final drive ratio. However, some configurations provide more flexibility or better efficiency than other configurations providing the same final drive ratio.

- the electronic controller is not limited to controlling a particular type of transmission but rather, is optionally configured to control any of several types of variable ratio transmissions.
- CVTs based on a ball-type variator, also known as CVP, for continuously variable planetary.
- CVP ball-type variator
- Basic concepts of a ball-type Continuously Variable Transmissions are described in United States Patent No.
- Such a CVT includes a number of balls (planets, spheres) 1, depending on the application, two ring (disc) assemblies with a conical surface contact with the balls, as input (first) traction ring assembly 2 and output (second) traction ring assembly 3, and an idler (sun) assembly 4 as shown on FIG. 1.
- the output traction ring assembly 3 includes an axial force generator mechanism.
- the balls are mounted on tiltable axles 5, themselves held in a carrier (stator, cage) assembly having a first carrier member 6 operably coupled to a second carrier member 7.
- the first carrier member 6 rotates with respect to the second carrier member 7, and vice versa.
- the first carrier member 6 is substantially fixed from rotation while the second carrier member 7 is configured to rotate with respect to the first carrier member, and vice versa.

- the second carrier member 7 is provided with a number of radially offset guide slots
- the radial guide slots 8 and the radially offset guide slots 9 are adapted to guide the tiltable axles 5.
- the axles 5 are adjustable to achieve a desired ratio of input speed to output speed during operation of the CVT. In some
- adjustment of the axles 5 involves control of the position of the first and second carrier members to impart a tilting of the axles 5 and thereby adjusts the speed ratio of the variator.
- Other types of ball CVTs also exist, like the one produced by Milner, but are slightly different.
- FIG. 3 The working principle of such a CVP of FIG. 1 is shown on FIG. 3.
- the CVP itself works with a traction fluid.
- the lubricant between the ball and the conical rings acts as a solid at high pressure, transferring the power from the input ring, through the balls, to the output ring.
- the ratio is changed between input and output.
- the ratio is one, as illustrated in FIG. 3, when the axis is tilted, the distance between the axis and the contact point change, modifying the overall ratio. All the balls' axes are tilted at the same time with a mechanism included in the carrier and/or idler.
- Embodiments disclosed herein are related to the control of a variator and/or a CVT using generally spherical planets each having a tiltable axis of rotation that is adjustable to achieve a desired ratio of input speed to output speed during operation.
- adjustment of said axis of rotation involves angular misalignment of the planet axis in a first plane in order to achieve an angular adjustment of the planet axis in a second plane that is substantially perpendicular to the first plane, thereby adjusting the speed ratio of the variator.
- the angular misalignment in the first plane is referred to here as "skew", “skew angle”, and/or "skew condition".
- a control system coordinates the use of a skew angle to generate forces between certain contacting components in the variator that will tilt the planet axis of rotation. The tilting of the planet axis of rotation adjusts the speed ratio of the variator.
- the terms “operationally connected,” “operationally coupled”, “operationally linked”, “operably connected”, “operably coupled”, “operably coupleable”, “operably linked,” and like terms refer to a relationship (mechanical, linkage, coupling, etc.) between elements whereby operation of one element results in a corresponding, following, or simultaneous operation or actuation of a second element. It is noted that in using said terms to describe the embodiments, specific structures or mechanisms that link or couple the elements are typically described. However, unless otherwise specifically stated, when one of said terms is used, the term indicates that the actual linkage or coupling will take a variety of forms, which in certain instances will be readily apparent to a person of ordinary skill in the relevant technology.
- radial indicates a direction or position that is perpendicular relative to a longitudinal axis of a transmission or variator.
- axial refers to a direction or position along an axis that is parallel to a main or longitudinal axis of a transmission or variator.
- Traction drives usually involve the transfer of power between two elements by shear forces in a thin fluid layer trapped between the elements.
- the fluids used in these applications usually exhibit traction coefficients greater than conventional mineral oils.
- the traction coefficient ( ⁇ ) represents the maximum available traction forces that would be available at the interfaces of the contacting components and is a measure of the maximum available drive torque.
- friction drives generally relate to transferring power between two elements by frictional forces between the elements.
- the CVTs described here can operate in both tractive and frictional applications.
- the traction coefficient ⁇ is a function of the traction fluid properties, the nonnal force at the contact area, and the velocity of the traction fluid in the contact area, among other things.
- the traction coefficient ⁇ increases with increasing relative velocities of components, until the traction coefficient ⁇ reaches a maximum capacity after which the traction coefficient ⁇ decays.
- the condition of exceeding the maximum capacity of the traction fluid is often referred to as "gross slip condition".
- Traction fluid is also influenced by entrainment speed of the fluid and temperature at the contact patch, for example, the traction coefficient is generally highest near zero speed and decays as a weak function of speed. The traction coefficient often improves with increasing temperature until a point at which the traction coefficient rapidly degrades.
- creep in the direction of power transfer is referred to as “creep in the rolling direction.”
- the driving and driven elements experience creep in a direction orthogonal to the power transfer direction, in such a case this component of creep is referred to as “transverse creep.”
- transverse creep this component of creep.

- the input shaft speed sensor is located at the turbine shaft for converter equipped vehicles. In some embodiments, the input shaft speed is also the measured speed of the input split planetary carrier. In some embodiments, the first traction ring speed sensor is also the measured speed of the input split planetary ring gear.
- the slip diagnostic process 200 proceeds to a block 202 where the speed sensor signals are filtered.

- a speed ratio of the CVP for example the CVP 304, is calculated by dividing the second traction ring speed (NCVP_R2) by the first traction ring speed (NCVP_RI)- I n the block 205, a speed ratio of the continuously variable drive, for example CVD 175, is calculated by dividing the second traction ring speed (NCVP_R2) by the input shaft speed (Ni).

- the slip diagnostic process 200 proceeds from the block 204 to a block 208 where a CVP speed ratio error is determined by comparing a commanded CVP speed ratio (SRcvp_command) to a measured CVP speed ratio (SRcvp actuai).
- the block 205 proceeds to a block 209 where a CVD speed ratio error is determined by comparing a commanded CVD speed ratio
- the block 206 proceeds to a block 210 where a sun gear speed (forward path) is calculated by multiplying the input shaft speed (Ni) by the CVD ratio (CVD ra tio).
- the slip diagnostic process 200 proceeds from the block 210 to a block 217 where the sun speed determined in the block 206 is compared to the sun speed determined in the block 210. It is noted that the sun gear speed is calculated in two process blocks, sometimes referred to herein as a forward path through the block 210 and a backward path through the block 206.
- the sun gear speed calculated form the forward path through the input speed should be equal to the sun gear speed calculated through the backwards path through the TOSS sensor (block 206).
- a disagreement between these two calculations indicates that one or more elements in the multiple speed range box is slipping. Therefore, if the two speeds are not equal, the block 217 passes a multiple speed gear box slip fault 218 to the transmission control module 104.
- the block 207 proceeds to a block 21 1 where a slip is the CVD lock-up clutch is evaluated. If the CVD lock-up clutch slip speed (Nsiip cvo) is greater than zero, or a calibrateable threshold variable (not shown), then the block 21 1 returns a CVD lock-up clutch slip fault 219 to the transmission control module 104.
- the comparison of errors such as performed in the block 208, the block 209, the block 217, and the block 21 1 , are optionally configured to include a comparison to pre-determined calibrateable threshold variables.
- the slip diagnostic process 200 includes a block 212 adapted to receive signals from the block 208 and the block 209.
- the block 212 evaluates the CVP speed ratio error and the CVD speed ratio error to determine a number of fault conditions. For example, if there is no CVP speed ratio error and CVD speed ratio error passed from the blocks 208 and 209, respectively, then the block 212 passes a no fault signal 213 to the transmission control module 104. If there is no CVP speed ratio error, but there is a CVD speed error, then the block 212 passes a CVD input planetary damage fault 214 to the transmission control module 104.
- This condition indicates that the CVP slip is of sufficiently small magnitude that the CVD closed loop control structure is capable of compensating by altering the CVP speed ratio reference. If the there is a CVP speed ratio error and a CVD speed ratio error, the block 212 returns a CVP gross slip fault 216 to the transmission control module 104. This condition indicates that the CVP slip is of sufficiently large magnitude that the CVD closed loop control structure is incapable of compensating by altering the CVP speed ratio reference.
- FIG. 9 a table is shown that depicts the fault conditions discussed previously.
- the transmission control module 104 operates in a normal mode of operation as programmed.
- the transmission control module 104 receives a fault command such as those listed in the table and described herein, there are a number of mitigation actions that the
- the transmission control module 104 is capable of managing. For example, during a CVD lock-up clutch slip fault 219, the transmission control module 104 optionally issues commands to disallow engagement of the lock-up clutch. In some embodiments, case 2 prohibits the operation of a fixed gear launch or a towing mode of operation.
- the transmission controller 104 optionally issues commands to reduce torque delivered to the multiple speed gear box by lowering input torque or adjust the ratio of the CVP.
- the transmission controller 104 optionally issues commands to adjust hydraulic control pressure to maximum line pressure.
- the transmission controller 104 optionally disallows certain operating modes of the multiple speed gear box, or shorten shift times between operating modes.
- the transmission controller 104 optionally issues commands to reduce input torque, increase hydraulic pressure for clamping, adjust speed ratio of the CVP, and/or engage the lock-up clutch.
- the transmission controller 104 issues commands to command a neutral position for the multiple speed gear box, for example.
