    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method for defining a clutch slipping point position (Xsp) of a clutch in a gearbox comprising an input shaft arranged to be braked by a braking means. The method includes determining if the clutch is dragging when the clutch is fully disengaged. The method includes when it is determined that the clutch is dragging, applying the braking means with a predetermined brake torque (Tb) and so that the input shaft is not rotating; and thereafter: moving the clutch from the fully disengaged position towards an engaged position; determining when the input shaft starts to rotate with a predetermined rotation value indicative of a rotational speed of the input shaft; registering a clutch position (Xb) in which the clutch is positioned when the predetermined rotation value is reached; using a clutch transfer characteristics of the clutch, Tb, and Xb to define the clutch slipping point position (Xsp).

    摘要: An automated mechanical transmission for a vehicle includes a main gearbox assembly comprising a main shaft and being adapted to be shiftable between at least one engaged state and a neutral state; a split gearbox assembly comprising an input shaft and being adapted to be shiftable between a first engaged state, a second engaged state and a neutral state; a countershaft; a crawler gearbox assembly comprising a crawler gear engagement member which is adapted to selectively engage and disengage a crawler gear defining a torque path from the input shaft to the main gearbox assembly via the countershaft; a gearbox brake; and transmission control unit. The transmission is configured to be settable in an AMT neutral state defined by the main gearbox assembly being in the neutral state. When the transmission control unit obtains a request to engage the crawler gear from the AMT neutral state, the transmission control unit is configured to apply the gearbox brake so that a rotational speed of the countershaft is reduced to a first predetermined rotational speed which is higher than a zero rotational speed; and when the first predetermined rotational speed is reached, release the gearbox brake, set the split gearbox assembly to the neutral state and engage the crawler gear by the crawler gear engagement member.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for controlling a clutch arrangement (102) of a vehicle transmission (100) arranged within a gearbox housing (104) of a vehicle, the clutch arrangement being connected to a pneumatically controlled actuator arrangement (106) for controllably arrange the clutch arrangement between a closed position and an open position, wherein the vehicle transmission further comprises at least one rotatable transmission component (108, 108′, 108″) configured to assume an engaged state, a disengaged state and an at least partially engaged state. By means of the method, the rotatable transmission component is arranged to be positioned in the at least partially engaged state for increasing the heat within the gearbox housing.

    摘要: A method of controlling a vehicle presenting a plurality of wheels, an engine and a clutch for selectively connecting the engine to a number of the wheels includesreceiving a torque control signal indicative of a demanded output torque of the engine, and observing a value of a first vehicle operation parameter being the vehicle speed or a parameter which is indicative of the vehicle speed, controlling the clutch so as to be engaged if the received torque control signal indicates that the demanded engine torque is minimal or below a first threshold value and the observed first vehicle operation parameter value is above a second threshold value, subsequently to the step of controlling the clutch so as to be engaged, performing a test disengagement of the clutch, including at least partly disengaging the clutch, observing a behaviour, in response to the test disengagement, of a second vehicle operation parameter, and based at least partly on the observation of the behaviour of the second vehicle operation parameter, determining whether to control the clutch so as to be re-engaged or disengaged.

    摘要: A method is provided for controlling an actuator of a vehicle transmission, the actuator being connected to an engaging sleeve, the engaging sleeve being axially displaceable between a gear wheel disengaging position and a gear wheel engaging position of the vehicle transmission for executing a transmission gear shift. The method includes actuating the actuator during a first predetermined time period for initiating a translational movement of the engaging sleeve front the gear wheel disengaging position towards the gear wheel engaging position, wherein the first predetermined time period is smaller than a total time period for the engaging sleeve to reach the gear wheel engaging position, determining, during a second predetermined time period initiated after the duration of the first predetermined time period, if the engaging sleeve has reached the gear wheel engaging position, and actuating the actuator during a third predetermined time period if it was determined that the engaging sleeve failed to reach the gear wheel engaging position during the second predetermined time period. A corresponding computer, computer readable medium, control unit, and vehicle transmission are also provided.
