摘要： An electrohydraulic control device for a drive train of a vehicle including an engine, a transmission, a source of pressurized fluid, and an input clutch driving connected between the engine and the transmission. The device includes a control lever or handle having a control member progressively manually movable between first and second positions, wherein the transmission is adapted to responsibly shift between a FORWARD and a REVERSE gear ratio in response to movement of the control member from the first position to the second position. An electronic control module is adapted to determine a transmission clutch relative speed as a function of the transmission output speed and the transmission input speed and responsively engage and disengage the input clutch during a directional shift.

摘要： An electrohydraulic control device for a drive train of a vehicle is provided. The drive train includes an engine, a transmission, a source of pressurized fluid, and an input clutch connected between the engine and the transmission. The control device senses the rotational output speed of the engine and responsively engages and disengages the input clutch as a function of the engine speed.

摘要： A vehicle such as an earthmoving wheel loader has an engine, a torque converter having an impeller element, a reactor element and a turbine element, and an input clutch connected between the engine and the impeller element. An electrohydraulic control device is provided to controllably engage the input clutch and that includes a microprocessor-based electronic control module, an actuator mechanism having a control member that is progressively movable between first, second and third positions to deliver a first electrical signal to the electronic control module, and a valve for directing fluid to the input clutch at a decreasing pressure level when the control member is moved from the first to the second positions in response to another signal from the electronic control module. The electronic control module is programmed to maintain at least a minimal pressure level to the actuating piston of the input clutch when the control member is between the second and third positions. Moreover, a service brake is increasingly engaged by a service brake mechanism in response to the control member moving between the second and third positions. Other logic functions are included to control the input clutch and a lockup clutch connected between the engine and the turbine element.

摘要： A method of controlling an operation of a mechanism is provided. A first rate limit is assigned to a first input device that is operable to generate a first signal to control the operation of the mechanism. A second rate limit is assigned to a second input device that is operable to generate a second signal to control the operation of the mechanism. At least one of the first and second input devices are manipulated to effect a desired change in the operation of the mechanism. A maximum allowable rate of change in the operation of the mechanism is identified based on the first and second signals and the first and second rate limits. A rate of change in the operation of the mechanism to achieve the desired change in the operation of the mechanism is determined based on a comparison of the maximum allowable rate of change in the operation of the mechanism with a last used rate of change in the operation of the mechanism.
