Method and apparatus for detecting touch point of clutch
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for detecting a touch point of a clutch and the method includes: maintaining a touch point of the clutch; correcting a setting value for determining a lowest value by calculating drag torque using a speed and an acceleration of a input shaft to change a detection range of the touch point; setting the lowest value of the speed of the input shaft within the changed detection range of the touch point to a reference value of the input shaft after actuating the clutch; releasing the clutch when the speed of the input shaft is more than a value acquired by adding the reference value of the input shaft and the corrected setting value for determining the lowest value; and updating the touch point as a clutch position matched to the reference value.
1. A method for detecting a touch point of a clutch in a shift control module, the method comprising:
maintaining a touch point of the clutch;
correcting a setting value for determining a lowest value by calculating drag torque using a speed and an acceleration of a input shaft to change a detection range of the touch point;
setting the lowest value of the speed of the input shaft within the changed detection range of the touch point to a reference value of the input shaft after actuating the clutch;
releasing the clutch when the speed of the input shaft is more than a value acquired by adding the reference value of the input shaft and the corrected setting value for determining the lowest value; and
updating the touch point as a clutch position matched to the reference value.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein in the changing of the detection range of the touch point, an upper limit value of the clutch position is changed through the setting value for determining the lowest value is changed.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the upper limit value of the clutch position is proportional to the setting value for determining the lowest value.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the updated touch point is a value acquired by subtracting a touch point offset value from the upper limit value of the clutch position corresponding to the corrected setting value for determining the lowest value.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the touch point offset value is proportional to a slope of the touch point.
6. An apparatus for detecting a touch point of a clutch, the apparatus comprising:
a engine speed sensor configured to sense a speed and an acceleration of an input shaft; and
a clutch control module configured to correct a setting value for determining a lowest value by calculating drag torque using a speed and an acceleration of a input shaft to change a detection range of the touch point, set the lowest value of the speed of the input shaft within the changed detection range of the touch point to a reference value of the input shaft after actuating the clutch, release the clutch when the speed of the input shaft is more than a value acquired by adding the reference value of the input shaft and the corrected setting value for determining the lowest value and update the touch point as a clutch position matched to the reference value.
7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the clutch control module changes an upper limit value of the clutch position through the setting value for determining the lowest value is changed.
8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the upper limit value of the clutch position is proportional to the setting value for determining the lowest value.
9. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the updated touch point is a value acquired by subtracting a touch point offset value from the upper limit value of the clutch position corresponding to the corrected setting value for determining the lowest value.
10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the touch point offset value is proportional to a slope of the touch point.
