    摘要: The disclosure reduces the number of factors to be considered in the switching control of the shift stages, thereby simplifying the switching control. In a control device of an automatic transmission, when a detection part detects that a shift position has been switched from one of a forward range and a reverse range to the other, among multiple hydraulic friction engagement mechanisms, a hydraulic pressure command value is fixed for the hydraulic friction engagement mechanisms that do not change the engaged state between the forward range and the reverse range, and the hydraulic pressure command value is variable based on a hydraulic pressure supplied to the hydraulic friction engagement mechanisms for the hydraulic friction engagement mechanisms that change the engaged state between the forward range and the reverse range.

    摘要: Methods and systems for a clutch assembly in an electric drive axle of a vehicle are provided. In one example, a clutch assembly in a gear train is provided that includes a locking clutch. The locking clutch includes a gear including a plurality of teeth having at least one tooth with a tapered end, an indexing shaft rotationally connected to an output shaft, a shift collar mounted on the indexing shaft, configured to translate on the indexing shaft into an engaged and disengaged configuration, and including a plurality of teeth on a face, where at least one tooth in the plurality of teeth in the shift collar includes a tapered end, and an indexing mechanism coupled to the shift collar and the indexing shaft and configured to accommodate for indexing between the indexing shaft and the shift collar during shift collar engagement.

    摘要: A vehicle control device controls a vehicle provided with a transmission having a direct gear and normal gears including an overdrive gear having a lower gear ratio than the direct gear. The device includes a travel segment determination unit which determines a forward travel segment having a different road slope from a current travel segment, a current gear position selection unit that selects a current gear position based on a travel resistance of the vehicle, a forward gear position selection unit that selects a forward gear position based on a travel resistance in the forward travel segment, and a shift control unit that selects whether or not to upshift the transmission based on a situation until the vehicle reaches the forward travel segment, when an upshift to the overdrive gear is newly selected in a case where the current gear position and the forward gear position are the direct gear.

    摘要: A drive assembly for a motor vehicle includes a housing having a transmission housing chamber, a reservoir, and a clutch housing chamber. At least one of the transmission housing chamber or the clutch housing chamber are fluidically connected to the reservoir. A transmission is disposed in the transmission housing chamber. A clutch is disposed in the clutch housing chamber. The clutch is drivingly connected to the transmission. An actuator has an actuating element engaged with the clutch. The clutch is moveable by the actuating element between a disengaged position and an engaged position. A valve is operatively connected to the actuating element of the actuator to allow lubricant flow from the reservoir to at least one of the transmission housing chamber and the clutch housing chamber when the clutch is in the engaged position and to prevent lubricant flow from the reservoir when the clutch is in the disengaged position

    摘要: A shift control device of a vehicle including an internal combustion engine and a multi-speed transmission in series, the shift control device comprises: a control portion providing a downshift control in which an input shaft rotation speed of the multi-speed transmission is increased through a torque-up of the internal combustion engine toward a post-shift input shaft rotation speed in a neutral state where a release-side engagement device to be released during a downshift of the multi-speed transmission is released, so as to engage an engagement-side engagement device to be engaged after the shift. In the case of a shift pattern having a large internal inertia of the multi-speed transmission, the control portion controls a torque capacity of the engagement-side engagement device to a value greater than zero before starting a torque-up control of the internal combustion engine.

    摘要: A method (200) for the open-loop control of a gearbox (100) that comprises an input shaft (105) and a first and a second proportionally controllable shift element (A-F) is provided. The method includes disengaging (215) the first shift element (A-F) according to a first control profile and engaging (220) the second shift element (A-F) according to a second control profile. The method also includes cyclically performing the following during the disengagement and the engagement: determining (230) a difference between the rotational speed of the input shaft (105) and a rotational speed which the input shaft (105) assumes when the second shift element (A-F) has been completely engaged; determining (230) a gradient of the difference; and adapting (230) the first control profile on the basis of the gradient.
