Study on the Control Strategy of Shifting Time Involving Multigroup Clutches

الملخص EN

This paper focuses on the control strategy of shifting time involving multigroup clutches for a hydromechanical continuously variable transmission (HMCVT).

The dynamic analyses of mathematical models are presented in this paper, and the simulation models are used to study the control strategy of HMCVT.

Simulations are performed in Simulation X platform to investigate the shifting time of clutches under different operating conditions.

On this basis, simulation analysis and test verification of two typical conditions, which play the decisive roles for the shifting quality, are carried out.

The results show that there are differences in the shifting time of the two typical conditions.

In the shifting process from the negative transmission of hydromechanical ranges to the positive transmission of hydromechanical ranges, the control strategy based on the shifting time is switching the clutches of shifting mechanism firstly and then disengaging a group of clutches of planetary gear mechanism and engaging another group of the clutches of planetary gear mechanism lastly.

In the shifting process from the hydraulic range to the hydromechanical range, the control strategy based on the shifting time is switching the clutches of hydraulic shifting mechanism and planetary gear mechanism at first and then engaging the clutch of shifting mechanism.
