Vehicle start-up control mechanism
View Patent ↗An object is to provide a vehicle start-up control, mechanism capable of preventing the occurrence of clutch judder with no need of paying excessive attention thereto for a driver. For this purpose, the present invention is provided with a clutch judder detection device ( 1 ) for detecting the occurrence of clutch judder, a clutch state detection, device ( 3 ) for detecting a partially engaged clutch state, and a control unit, ( 10 ), wherein the control unit ( 10 ) has a function, for storing an accelerator opening (position) in the partially engaged clutch state in a case where the clutch judder has occurred during start-up and a function, for comparing an accelerator opening during next start-up with an accelerator opening in case where the clutch judder has occurred during previous start-up.
1. A vehicle start-up control mechanism, comprising:
a clutch judder detection device for detecting the occurrence of clutch judder;
a clutch state detection device for detecting a partially engaged clutch state; and
a control unit, wherein
the control unit has a function for storing an accelerator opening in the partially engaged clutch state in a case where the clutch judder has occurred during each start-up, a function for comparing the accelerator opening during next start-up with the accelerator opening in a case where the clutch judder has occurred during previous start-up, and a function for increasing or reducing the accelerator opening during the next start-up when the accelerator opening during the next start-up is the same as said accelerator opening during start-up in a case where the clutch judder has occurred.
2. The vehicle start-up control mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein
the clutch judder detection device includes an input shaft speed measurement device for measuring an input shaft speed, a clutch stroke measurement device for measuring a clutch stroke and the control unit, and
the control unit has a function for calculating a variation amount of the input shaft speed, a function for calculating a variation amount of the clutch stroke, and a function for deciding that the clutch judder is occurring when the variation amount of the input shaft speed is more than or equal to a first threshold value or when the variation amount of the clutch stroke is more than or equal to a second threshold value.
3. The vehicle start-up control mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein
the clutch state detection device includes a clutch stroke measurement device for measuring a clutch stroke, a device for measuring a gear ratio of a transmission, an accelerator opening measurement device and an input shaft speed measurement device for measuring an input shaft speed.
4. The vehicle start-up control mechanism according to claim 2 , wherein
the clutch state detection device includes the clutch stroke measurement device for measuring a clutch stroke, a device for measuring a gear ratio of a transmission, an accelerator opening measurement device and the input shaft speed measurement device for measuring an input shaft speed.
5. The vehicle start-up control mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein
the control unit has a function for reducing the accelerator opening in a case where the accelerator opening is already in the near 100% state upon the occurrence of the clutch judder.
