    摘要: In an automatic transmission, clutch-to-clutch powered downshifting is controlled by filling the on-coming clutch at a low pressure while ramping down the off-going clutch pressure until turbine speed is pulled up due to off-going clutch slippage, and then increasing the off-going pressure stepwise to compensate the change from static to dynamic coefficients of friction. Then the on-coming pressure is gradually ramped up and a closed-loop profile control period starts wherein the slip speed of the on-coming clutch is measured and controlled to a slip speed profile by controlling the off-going clutch pressure. When synchronization of the on-coming clutch is first detected, a closed-loop sync control period starts wherein the off-going pressure is controlled to minimize the slip and the on-coming pressure is ramped up at a steeper rate to begin clutch engagement during the sync control period. Adaptive control is accomplished for the initial on-coming pressure by an iterative process which decreases that pressure stepwise until flare occurs and then increases the pressure to stop the flare and repeating the changes in smaller steps to approach the flare condition. Initial off-going pressure is modified when early slip or late slip of the off-going pressure is detected. A modification of off-going pressure step value is effected when the final pressure in the closed-loop period is greater or smaller than the initial pressure. The modifications are targeted to fully correct the respective conditions.

    摘要: A dynamic model that is configured to produce a lockup clutch command as a function of a plurality of torque converter operating parameters is continually solved and the lockup clutch command is asserted to control engagement of the lockup clutch. A profile of one of the plurality of torque converter operating parameters is selected and is configured, when inserted into the model in place of an actual value thereof, to result in an intersection of rotational speeds of the pump and the turbine over time. Deceleration of the pump is monitored after asserting the lockup clutch command and a maximum deceleration of the pump is determined therefrom. The selected profile is temporarily held constant if the monitored deceleration of the pump rises at least a threshold value above the maximum deceleration of the pump.

    摘要: A clutch control system comprises a clutch torque determination module and a clutch pressure control module. The clutch torque determination module determines a desired torque value for a torque converter clutch (TCC) based on a torque output of an engine, a pump torque value for a pump integrated with a torque converter, a desired engine acceleration, and an inertia value of the engine. The clutch pressure control module selectively controls pressure applied to the TCC based on the desired torque value.

    摘要: Determining performance of an internal combustion engine coupled to a pump of a torque converter may include determining a rotational speed of the pump, determining a rotational speed of a turbine fluidly coupled to the pump, determining an engine output torque value, corresponding to torque applied by the engine to the pump of the torque converter, as a function of the rotational speed of the pump and the rotational speed of the turbine, and storing the engine output torque value in a memory unit. Alternatively or additionally, engine horsepower may be determined as a function of the engine torque and/or a fuel efficiency of the engine may be determined as a function of the horsepower and fueling rate of the engine. The engine output torque value, horsepower value and/or fuel efficiency may be stored in a memory unit and/or displayed on a display unit.

    摘要: A process for learning the pressure and volume characteristics for a given torque-transmitting mechanism is established on the final assembly line wherein a powertrain incorporating the desired transmission learning is installed within a vehicle. During the test process, the vehicle speed is generally maintained at Idle and the vehicle shift mechanism is maintained in Park, thereby mechanically locking the transmission output shaft. The torque-transmitting mechanisms to be learned are then engaged and disengaged in a predetermined sequence and the volume of the torque-transmitting mechanisms and the pressure characteristics of the controlling solenoid are learned.

    摘要: A dynamic model is stored in memory that defines torque transmitted by a lockup clutch in a torque converter as a function of a plurality of torque converter operating parameters. A lockup clutch command to control engagement the lockup clutch is asserted, and thereafter a number of the plurality of torque converter operating parameters are monitored. The model is continually solved using the monitored operating parameters to determine torque transmitted by the lockup clutch over time, and a lockup clutch on-coming capacity signal is produced if the torque transmitted by the lockup clutch exceeds a torque threshold.

A lockup clutch command is asserted to control engagement the lockup clutch, and thereafter a number of the plurality of torque converter operating parameters are monitored. A profile is selected of one of the plurality of torque converter operating parameters, and the profile is configured to result in an intersection of rotational speeds of the pump and the turbine over time when inserted into the model along with the monitored values of the number of torque converter operating parameters. The model is continually solved over time using the selected profile and the monitored operating parameters to produce transmitted torque values, and the lockup clutch command is modified based on the transmitted torque values.
