    摘要: The system provides an improved clutch control system for use in a continuously variable transmission system. The system provides for generation of a clutch pressure setpoint to re-engage the clutch during special conditions in which the torque created by the vehicle inertia would tend to drive the engine to an undesirable operating point. Clutch slip speed is monitored as a difference value and integrated to provide a gradually decreasing error signal to return the clutch input speed to the clutch output speed, at which time clutch lockup will occur. Additionally, throttle position is monitored and a maximum torque schedule used to provide a maximum torque signal to prevent driver demand from undesirably racing the engine in similar conditions. A filtered output of the maximum torque schedule provides a pressure setpoint signal representative of actual driver demand which may be added to the clutch slip speed error signal to generate the clutch pressure setpoint. In this fashion, an engine may be loaded by an increase in the clutch pressure at the same time that the clutch input speed is returned to the clutch output speed to restore clutch lock up. Addition of a constant value to the clutch slip speed error signal ensures positive clutch lockup.

    摘要: Temperature compensation techniques are utilized to provide consistent system response in a continuously variable transmission system or other control system over a range of expected operating temperatures. Variations in the independent transfer functions for various control functions, such as ratio control, line pressure control and clutch control are monitored or measured. Appropriate modifications to system operating parameters are scheduled based upon the measured, simulated or predicted variations in the transfer functions as previously determined. In operation, the disclosed system senses temperature and provides the appropriate compensation and gain parameter modifications in accordance with the selected schedules.

    摘要: A pressure transducer, which senses clutch pressure and effects closed loop clutch control in a continuously variable transmission, is used after the clutch is fully engaged to provide closed loop line pressure control to a desired setpoint, which line pressure regulates the tension on the belt in the transmission. Only a single transducer is needed since there is a known relationship between the clutch and line pressures when the clutch is locked up. Prior to lockup, the line pressure is governed by an open loop controller which establishes the line pressure at a level higher than that called for by the setpoint. This ensures that the line pressure will be high enough to provide the required tension on the belt so that it will not slip. After the clutch is engaged, the closed loop line pressure controller (which includes both the open loop line pressure controller and the closed loop clutch controller) establishes the line pressure at the setpoint. For stable operation, the closed loop controller responds only to relatively slow changes of the setpoint. In response to fast changes, the closed loop controller is made ineffective so that the line pressure will be determined only by the open loop controller and will be greater than the level called for by the setpoint.

    摘要: Improved pulse width modulation technique provides for an increased sampling rate without an increased ON/OFF rate at associated control devices. Both ON/OFF and OFF/ON edges in a PWM signal are modulated. The system then samples at twice the pulse turn-on rate to provide more frequent sampling. System response time may be decreased without an increase in the operating frequency for the associated control device. Particular application of the present invention may be found in continuously variable transmission systems which utilize PWM-controlled electrohydraulic valves for ratio control, line pressure control and clutch control. A system for implementing the PWM signal has a duty-cycle calculator coupled with timing circuits to control input data reading functions and circuit enabling, leading edge and trailing edge regulators and an output pulse generator.

    摘要: An upshift gear ratio change is made in an automatic transmission by monitoring the driveline torque and operating a closed loop control system in response to that torque to in turn control the torque to obtain a desired shift. Shift quality is optimized, while torque transients are minimized, by initially closing the loop at the end of the static phase of the upshift when the driveline torque drops to its minimum turnaround point, the torque thereafter being controlled such that it increases from the turnaround point at a specified rate and in accordance with a predetermined first ramp command. As the increasing driveline torque then reaches a prescribed reset level, at an early stage in the dynamic phase, the closed loop control system is released and reset in order to control the torque in accordance with a second ramp command, the second ramp, that the torque is made to follow, thereby starting at a higher level than the first ramp. By initially closing the loop at the relatively low turnaround point undesired torque transients are precluded, and then by resetting the loop shortly thereafter, so that the torque ramp starts at a relatively high level, shift duration is maintained at a desired length and shift quality is enhanced. As a result, each time there is an upshift in the transmission there will be a smooth transition from the original engine speed to the new engine speed.
