PROCEDE DE COMMANDE DU PASSAGE D'UNE
TRANSMISSION AUTOMATIOUE SUR UN RAPPORT
INFERIEUR
La présente invention concerne la commande des transmissions automatiques à rapports étagés. Plus précisément, elle a pour objet un procédé de commande du passage d'une transmission automatique sur un rapport inférieur à l'aide de la pédale d'accélérateur.METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE PASSAGE OF A
AUTOMATED TRANSMISSION ON A REPORT
INFERIOR
The present invention relates to the control of automatic transmissions with stepped reports. More specifically, it relates to a method for controlling the passage of an automatic transmission to a lower gear using the accelerator pedal.
Les boîtes de vitesses automatiques pilotées électroniquement disposent généralement d'une commande de rétrogradage par enfoncement de la pédale d'accélérateur, permettant au conducteur de forcer la boîte à rétrograder jusqu'au rapport le plus faible, dans une limite déterminée par le fonctionnement du moteur.Electronically controlled automatic gearboxes generally have a downshift control by depressing the accelerator pedal, allowing the driver to force the gearbox to downshift to the lowest gear, within a limit determined by engine operation .
Selon une disposition classique, le conducteur demande ces rétrogradages en appuyant à fond sur la pédale d'accélérateur, de façon à dépasser un point dur. Le passage de ce point dur ferme un contact électrique, appelé "rétro-contact", qui informe l'unité de pilotage électronique de la boîte, de la demande de rétrogradage.According to a conventional arrangement, the driver requests these downshifts by depressing the accelerator pedal fully, so as to pass a hard point. The passage of this hard point closes an electrical contact, called "retro-contact", which informs the electronic control unit of the gearbox, of the demotion request.
Lorsque le rétro-contact intervient en fin de course de la pédale, le conducteur est contraint d'accélérer "pied à fond", pour obtenir un rétrogradage. When the retro-contact occurs at the end of the pedal stroke, the driver is forced to accelerate "fully" to obtain a downshift.
D'une façon générale, le système du rétro-contact, ou "kick-down", à point dur en fin de course présente l'inconvénient d'être relativement inconfortable pour le conducteur, de sorte qu'il est peu ou rarement utilisé.In general, the feedback system, or "kick-down", hard point at the end of the race has the disadvantage of being relatively uncomfortable for the driver, so that it is rarely or rarely used .
La présente invention vise à mettre en oeuvre une fonction de rétrogradage pouvant intervenir en différents points de la course de l'accélérateur, et sans incidence sur la résistance à l'enfoncement de celle-ci.The present invention aims to implement a downshift function which can intervene at different points of the accelerator stroke, and without affecting the resistance to depression thereof.
Elle propose dans ce but d'exploiter simultanément une première information liée à la position de la pédale, et une seconde information liée à sa vitesse d'enfoncement par le conducteur.To this end, it proposes to simultaneously use a first piece of information linked to the position of the pedal, and a second piece of information linked to its speed of depressing by the driver.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, la première information est relative à l'angle d'inclinaison de la pédale par rapport à sa position de repos, et la seconde information est relative à sa vitesse angulaire de déplacement à l'écart de sa position de repos.According to a first embodiment of the invention, the first information relates to the angle of inclination of the pedal relative to its rest position, and the second information relates to its angular speed of displacement away from its rest position.
Selon un second mode de réalisation de l'invention, la première information est relative à l'écart en distance de la pédale par rapport à sa position de repos, et la seconde information est relative à sa vitesse linéaire de déplacement.According to a second embodiment of the invention, the first item of information relates to the distance in distance of the pedal from its rest position, and the second item of information relates to its linear speed of movement.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront clairement à la lecture de la description suivante d'un mode de réalisation particulier de celle-ci, en liaison avec les dessins annexés, sur lesquels
- la figure unique illustre le procédé de l'invention
Sur la figure 1, on a représenté schématiquement une pédale d'accélérateur 1 et le calculateur électronique 2 d'une boîte de vitesses automatique, auquel elle transmet les informations nécessaires au passage de la transmission sur un rapport inférieur, conformément à l'invention.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear clearly on reading the following description of a particular embodiment thereof, in conjunction with the appended drawings, in which
- the single figure illustrates the process of the invention
In Figure 1, there is shown schematically an accelerator pedal 1 and the electronic computer 2 of an automatic gearbox, to which it transmits the information necessary for the transmission to pass through a lower gear, in accordance with the invention.
Comme indiqué plus haut, le conducteur d'un véhicule automobile équipé d'une boîte de vitesses automatique a besoin dans certaines circonstances de disposer d'une accélération importante, et exprime ce besoin en appuyant plus ou moins fortement sur sa pédale d'accélérateur, selon le caractère d'urgence de la situation. Etant donné que l'intensité de l'accélération souhaitée influe non seulement sur la position de pédale recherchée, mais également sur la rapidité de son action, l'invention propose de prendre en considération simultanément la position de la pédale, et sa vitesse d'enfoncement pour commander le passage sur un rapport inférieur. As indicated above, the driver of a motor vehicle equipped with an automatic gearbox needs in certain circumstances to have a significant acceleration, and expresses this need by pressing more or less strongly on his accelerator pedal, depending on the urgency of the situation. Since the intensity of the desired acceleration influences not only the desired pedal position, but also the speed of its action, the invention proposes to take into consideration simultaneously the position of the pedal, and its speed. push to control shift to a lower gear.
Conformément à l'invention, le calculateur de la boîte de vitesses automatique du véhicule exploite donc une première information relative à la position de la pédale, et une seconde information, relative à sa vitesse d'enfoncement. Sur la base de ces signaux, il développe une stratégie, lui permettant de décider d'imposer à la transmission le passage sur un rapport inférieur, ou de ne pas imposer ce passage. En d'autres termes, le procédé de commande proposé, se traduit par un signal de commande interne du calculateur de la boîte, appelé signal kick , qui peut prendre deux valeurs (1, ou 0), correspondant respectivement à l'acceptation ou au refus du passage sur un rapport inférieur.According to the invention, the computer of the automatic gearbox of the vehicle therefore uses a first item of information relating to the position of the pedal, and a second item of information relating to its speed of depressing. On the basis of these signals, he develops a strategy, allowing him to decide to impose on the transmission the shift to a lower gear, or not to impose this shift. In other words, the proposed control method results in an internal control signal from the gearbox computer, called a kick signal, which can take two values (1, or 0), corresponding respectively to acceptance or to refusal to switch to a lower gear.
Conformément à l'invention, les informations exploitées peuvent être représentatives du déplacement linéaire de la pédale, ou de son déplacement linéaire. Dans les deux cas, le calculateur compare deux variables liées à la position de la pédale, à deux seuils d'autorisation préétablis. Un premier seuil définit la position de la pédale à partir de laquelle le rétrogradage est enclenché, tandis que le second définit un seuil de vitesse d'enfoncement qui est comparé par le calculateur à la dérivée de la position pédale, avant d'autoriser le passage sur un rapport inférieur.In accordance with the invention, the information used can be representative of the linear displacement of the pedal, or of its linear displacement. In both cases, the computer compares two variables related to the position of the pedal, with two preset authorization thresholds. A first threshold defines the position of the pedal from which the downshift is engaged, while the second defines a depressing speed threshold which is compared by the computer to the derivative of the pedal position, before authorizing the shift. on a lower gear.
Si le critère de déplacement retenu se rapporte à la position angulaire de la pédale, la position instantanée de la pédale peut par exemple être exprimée en degrés d'angle pédale par rapport à sa position de repos. Le premier et le second seuil seront alors établis respectivement en degrés et en degrés par seconde.If the displacement criterion adopted relates to the angular position of the pedal, the instantaneous position of the pedal can for example be expressed in degrees of pedal angle relative to its rest position. The first and the second threshold will then be established respectively in degrees and in degrees per second.
Si ce critère concerne la position linéaire de la pédale sur sa course, la position. instantanée de la pédale sera par exemple exprimée en millimètres d'écart par rapport à sa position de repos, et les deux seuils retenus, seront établis respectivement en millimètres et en millimètres par seconde. If this criterion concerns the linear position of the pedal on its stroke, the position. instantaneous pedal will for example be expressed in millimeters of deviation from its rest position, and the two thresholds selected, will be established respectively in millimeters and millimeters per second.
Les opérations de contrôle du calculateur s'effectuent en suivant la boucle suivante. Lors de l'initialisation du procédé, le signal kick du calculateur reçoit la valeur "refusé" (O). En donnant un signe positif à la dérivée de la position pédale dans le sens de l'enfoncement de celle-ci, la valeur accepté (1) est adoptée dès que l'écart de la pédale vis-à-vis de sa position de repos est supérieurs au premier seuil, et que la valeur de sa vitesse d'enfoncement est supérieure au second. Conformément à l'invention, la valeur (1) est conservée jusqu'à ce que l'écart en position de la pédale redevienne inférieur au premier seuil.The control operations of the computer are carried out by following the following loop. When the process is initialized, the kick signal from the computer receives the value "refused" (O). By giving a positive sign to the derivative of the pedal position in the direction in which it is depressed, the accepted value (1) is adopted as soon as the deviation of the pedal from its rest position is greater than the first threshold, and that the value of its penetration speed is greater than the second. According to the invention, the value (1) is kept until the difference in position of the pedal becomes less than the first threshold.
Bien entendu, tant que le signal conserve sa valeur d'acceptation, les passages sur des rapports inférieurs sont déclenchés, pour autant que la charge du moteur le permette. En particulier, si la demande d'accélération du conducteur nécessite plusieurs rétrogradages, les mesures proposées, garantissent leur déroulement successif dans les meilleures conditions de confort, sans manoeuvre supplémentaire du conducteur. D'une manière générale, l'efficacité des mesures proposées, permet d'éviter tout rétrogradage intempestif, et leur transparence vis-à-vis de l'utilisateur conferent au procédé de commande de l'invention un intérêt considérable. Of course, as long as the signal retains its acceptance value, changes to lower gears are triggered, provided that the load of the engine allows it. In particular, if the driver's acceleration request requires several downshifts, the measures proposed guarantee their successive progress in the best conditions of comfort, without additional maneuver by the driver. In general, the effectiveness of the proposed measures makes it possible to avoid any untimely demotion, and their transparency vis-à-vis the user confer considerable importance on the control method of the invention.
