Definitions
- the present invention controls the driving force distributed to either the front wheels or the rear wheels of the four-wheel drive vehicle, so that either one of the front wheels or the rear wheels is a main drive wheel and the other is a sub drive wheel.
- the present invention relates to a driving force control device for a wheel drive vehicle.
- Some conventional four-wheel drive vehicles include, for example, an electronically controlled driving force control device as shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2.
- the four-wheel drive vehicle shown in Patent Literatures 1 and 2 controls the driving force distributed to the rear wheels by a driving force distribution device arranged between the front wheels and the rear wheels, so that the front wheels are the main driving wheels.
- the auxiliary drive wheel is used.
- This driving force control device includes control means (FI / AT • ECU) for controlling the engine and the automatic transmission, and the engine speed, intake pipe internal pressure, intake air input to the FI / AT • ECU.
- the total driving force of the vehicle is calculated based on the FI information such as the amount, and the AT information such as the gear stage and the torque converter ratio, and the setting is made so that the driving torque of the rear wheel appropriate for the driving mode at that time is output. ing. Furthermore, by detecting the idling state of the front wheels (main drive wheels) with wheel speed sensors, etc., and performing control (differential rotation control) to increase the output torque of the four-wheel drive, the running performance on snow and on rough roads is secured. In addition, the clutch is protected by reducing the slip of the clutch.
- a four-wheel drive vehicle equipped with a conventional electronically controlled driving force control device can be used even when the left-right differential rotation (speed difference) of the rear wheels (driven wheels) becomes excessive due to the influence of the road surface on which the vehicle travels. There was no protection control for that. Therefore, when driving on a road surface (so-called split ⁇ road surface) where the left and right frictional resistances of the rear wheels are greatly different, the differential differential rotational speed of the rear differential may exceed the allowable limit and become the worst. In this case, the rear differential gear and shaft could be burned out and damaged.
- Measures against this problem include increasing the capacity of the rear differential by increasing the capacity, and increasing the resistance (toughness) against friction during rotation by surface treatment of the pinion shaft provided in the rear differential. May increase strength.
- measures to increase the strength of the rear differential cause the four-wheel drive mechanism including the rear differential to increase in size, weight, and cost.
- the layout design on the vehicle body side may be affected, for example, the shape of the subframe needs to be changed to avoid interference with the vehicle body.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above-described points, and its purpose is to provide a relatively simple control without causing an increase in size, weight, and cost of a four-wheel drive mechanism, and a difference between driven wheels.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a driving force control device for a four-wheel drive vehicle capable of effectively protecting a mechanism such as a differential in a situation where the rotation is excessive.

- the auxiliary force by the driving force distribution device (10) is Control for prohibiting the distribution of the driving force to the driving wheels (W3, W4) is performed.
- the differential rotational speed detected by the differential rotation detecting means is not less than the first threshold value.
- the driving force distribution device continues for a predetermined time or longer, control to prohibit the distribution of the driving force to the auxiliary driving wheels is performed. Therefore, when driving on a road surface where friction resistance between the auxiliary driving wheels is greatly different, the auxiliary driving is performed. It is possible to prevent the differential rotation speed between the wheels from exceeding an allowable range. As a result, it is possible to prevent the differential rotational speed of the differential or clutch installed between the auxiliary drive wheels from becoming excessive, and therefore, it is possible to avoid the seizure damage.
- a mechanism such as a differential or a clutch installed between the sub driving wheels is controlled by controlling the distribution of the driving force to the sub driving wheels by the driving force distributing device. Since it protects, the configuration itself of the four-wheel drive mechanism provided in the four-wheel drive vehicle does not need to be changed conventionally, and can be dealt with only by changing the control program of the control means. Therefore, there is no risk of increasing the size of the four-wheel drive mechanism, increasing the number of parts, increasing the weight, and increasing costs.
- the control means (50) detects the differential rotation in a state where the driving force distribution to the auxiliary driving wheels (W3, W4) by the driving force distribution device (10) is prohibited.
- the differential rotational speed detected by the means (S3, S4) is less than or equal to the second threshold value (V2, V1-2)
- the auxiliary driving wheels (W3, W4) are driven by the driving force distribution device (10). It is advisable to permit the distribution of the driving force.

It returns to the four-wheel drive state. Thereby, since it can return to a four-wheel drive state at an early stage, the running performance on snow and on rough roads can be secured.

- the difference between the left and right rear wheel speeds is 40 km / h or less (YES)
- it is subsequently determined whether the vehicle body speed is 0 km / h, that is, whether the vehicle is stationary (step ST4-3).
- step ST4-2 if the vehicle body speed is not 0 km / h (NO), both engine torque down control and rear differential protection control are continued (step ST4-2).
- step ST4-4 if the vehicle body speed is 0 km / h (YES), the rear differential protection control is terminated and the normal four-wheel drive state is restored (step ST4-4).
- step ST4-5 it is determined whether or not the difference between the left and right rear wheel speeds is 20 km / h (threshold value V2-2) or less (step ST4-5).
- the engine torque down control is continued (step ST4-6).
- the difference between the left and right rear wheel speeds is 20 km / h or less (YES)
- the engine torque down control is terminated (step ST4-7).
- the threshold value V2-2 is equal to or less than 20 km (fourth threshold value)
- control for canceling the reduction in the driving torque transmitted from the engine 3 to the driving force transmission path 20 is performed.
- the rear differential protection control in the first embodiment if only the control for prohibiting the distribution of the driving force to the rear wheels W3, W4 by disengaging the front-rear torque distribution clutch 10 is performed, the drive transmitted to the front wheels W1, W2 If the force fluctuates rapidly, the idling of the front wheels W1, W2 may increase excessively, or the acceleration applied to the vehicle body may fluctuate greatly. Therefore, in the rear differential protection control of the present embodiment, the driving torque transmitted from the engine 3 to the driving force transmission path 20 when a predetermined condition is satisfied before the distribution of the driving force to the rear wheels W3, W4 is prohibited. Control is performed to reduce this.
- the difference between the left and right rear wheel speeds is equal to or less than the threshold value V2 (V1-2), and the vehicle body speed is 0 km / h (the vehicle is stopped).
- V2 the threshold value
- V1-2 the vehicle body speed
