摘要:
A vehicle control device includes an engine, an electric motor, a clutch, and a hydraulic power transmission device having a lockup clutch disposed on a power transmission path between the electric motor and drive wheels, the control device increasing the electric motor output torque while slip-engaging or releasing the lockup clutch when the engine is started by engaging the clutch during motor running performed by using only the electric motor as a drive force source for running with the clutch released and the lockup clutch engaged, the control device raising the clutch actual torque capacity toward clutch engagement after starting an increase in the electric motor output torque when a torque difference between a torque capacity of the lockup clutch and the output torque of the electric motor falls within a predetermined range as the torque capacity of the lockup clutch is reduced at the start of the engine.

A method of operating a torque converter clutch in an engine start-stop vehicle improves launch after an auto stop event. During the autostop event, hydraulic fluid is supplied to the torque converter clutch operator through one or more solenoid valves by an auxiliary electric pump. When the prime mover is started at the conclusion of the autostop event, the torque converter clutch is thus locked, assuring rapid and sufficient torque transfer through the torque converter to the transmission and improved acceleration during vehicle launch. As the vehicle accelerates, the hydraulic pressure in the clutch operator is reduced and slip through the clutch increased to achieve a smooth launch and return to conventional torque converter operation.

Various systems and methods are described for controlling combustion stability in an engine driving a transmission. One example method comprises limiting airflow to the engine in response to a spark timing retarded beyond a spark retard threshold, the limiting airflow to the engine reducing engine torque output and compensating for the reduction in engine torque output by adjusting a transmission operating parameter.

A power train is provided having an engine operably coupled to a transmission. The power train also has at least one operator interface device, each operator interface device being configured to generate an operator request. In addition, the power train has a controller configured to, in response to a first operator request, override a second operator request for a desired target engine speed by lowering a current engine speed to a modified target engine speed below the desired target engine speed.

A method for controlling a rate of change of speed ratios in a continuously variable transmission (CVT) includes sensing a vehicle speed, sensing an engine speed, and sensing a change in a position of an accelerator pedal. The method includes determining a desired engine speed based on said change in said position of said accelerator pedal, said vehicle speed, and said engine speed. The method includes increasing a target engine speed at a first rate to a predetermined value, wherein said target engine speed corresponds to a speed ratio. The method includes measuring a difference between said target engine speed that is held at said predetermined value and an actual engine speed, and increasing said target engine speed to said desired engine speed at a second rate when said difference substantially equals a predetermined threshold, wherein said second rate is less than said first rate.
摘要:
In a method for operating a drive train for a motor vehicle including a transmission with a hydraulic torque converter having a converter lockup clutch which can be activated by a working pressure acting on a piston under engine overrun conditions when an increased internal pressure is produced in the torque converter which acts on the piston counteracting the operating pressure of the converter lockup clutch so that it cannot be closed, at least one operational variable of the motor vehicle is monitored and if the operational variable exceeds a threshold value the rotational speed ratio between the turbine wheel and pump wheel is reduced by changing the engine speed and/or the transmission ratio in order to activate the lock-up clutch.
摘要:
A method for controlling the power consumption of a starting element (1) in the form of a hydrodynamic clutch (2). The clutch comprises an impeller (4) and a turbine wheel (5), which together form at least one toroidal working chamber (6) that can be filled with an operating medium, and is located in a drive train (3) with at least one other drive motor that can be coupled to the hydrodynamic clutch. The method is characterized in that the power consumption can be freely adjusted as a function of the volumetric efficiency of the hydrodynamic clutch and the method has the following characteristics: the supply or evacuation of the operating medium to or from the working chamber is influenced by the generation and introduction of a static superposition pressure in the closed rotating circuit; the operating medium is supplied or evacuated to or from the working chamber by the application of a superposition or influencing pressure to the operating medium level in the operating medium reservoir (40).
