Method for operating an automated dual-clutch transmission
View Patent ↗A method for operating an automated dual-clutch transmission having two sub-transmissions, with which shafts are associated, which transmit a/no torque as active/inactive shafts when a sub-clutch is engaged/disengaged and a gear is engaged/disengaged, the size and direction of said torque being dependent on the particular gear that is engaged, wherein even gears are associated with an even shaft and odd gears are associated with an odd shaft. When an odd/even gear is engaged, that is, when the odd/even shaft is active, a gear is also initially engaged on the inactive even/odd shaft, in order to change a critical resonance slip speed.
1. A method for operating an automated dual-clutch transmission having two sub-transmissions with which shafts are associated, which transmit a/no torque as active/inactive shafts when a sub-clutch is engaged/disengaged and a gear is engaged/disengaged, respectively, the size and direction of said torque being dependent on the particular gear that is engaged, wherein even gears are associated with an even shaft and odd gears are associated with an odd shaft, wherein when an odd/even gear is engaged, in other words when the odd/even shaft is active, a gear is also initially engaged on the inactive even/odd shaft, respectively, in order to change a critical resonance slip speed.
2. The method recited in claim 1 , wherein below/above the critical resonance slip speed the vehicle is always driven without neutral being pre-selected.
3. The method recited in claim 1 wherein above/below the critical resonance slip speed the gear on the inactive shaft is always disengaged.
4. The method recited in claim 1 wherein when driving off slowly in a first gear, i.e., with the odd shaft active, a gear is also initially engaged on the even shaft, in order to reduce the critical resonance slip speed.
5. The method recited in claim 4 wherein when driving off slowly in first gear a second gear or a reverse gear is initially engaged on the even shaft, in order to reduce a critical resonance slip speed.
6. The method recited in claim 1 wherein the gear which is initially engaged on the even/odd shaft is disengaged before the critical resonance slip speed is reached.
7. The recited in claim 6 wherein the gear which is initially engaged on the even/odd shaft is disengaged about fifty to one hundred revolutions before the critical resonance slip speed is reached.
8. The method recited in claim 1 wherein a target speed is changed in order to avoid the critical resonance slip speed.
9. The method recited in claim 8 wherein the critical resonance slip speed is stored in a software element, and is used to obtain a limiting speed.
10. The method recited in claim 9 wherein the target speed is raised at least to the value of the limiting speed.
