Abstract

A method for learning a touch point of a clutch may include a step of outputting a first control signal for controlling a touch point learning mode to be entered if a preset condition is satisfied, a step of calculating a reference value by dividing a difference value between rotational speed of a drive shaft clutch and rotational speed of a non-drive shaft clutch by a difference value between rotational speed of an engine and the rotational speed of the drive shaft clutch, a step of outputting a second control signal for moving the non-drive shaft clutch toward the engine if the reference value is less than a preset threshold value and a step of determining a position of the non-drive shaft clutch at a time when the reference value reaches the preset threshold value to be the touch point.

Claims (8)

1. A method of learning a touch point, the method comprising:

Outputting, by a controller, a first control signal for controlling a touch point learning mode to be entered when a preset condition is satisfied;

calculating, by the controller, a reference value by dividing a difference value between rotational speed of a drive shaft clutch and rotational speed of a non-drive shaft clutch by a difference value between driving speed of an engine and the driving speed of the drive shaft clutch;

outputting, by the controller, a second control signal for moving by an actuator the non-drive shaft clutch toward the engine if the reference value is less than a preset threshold value;

determining, by the controller, a position of the non-drive shaft clutch to be the touch point at a time when the reference value reaches the preset threshold value; and

declutching, by a signal of the controller, the non-drive clutch for the non-drive clutch when the touch point is determined,

wherein the outputting the first control signal for controlling the touch point learning mode to be entered when the preset condition is satisfied comprises entering the touch point learning mode if the drive shaft clutch is in a slip state and the non-drive shaft clutch is an open state.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the entering the touch point learning mode comprises entering the touch point learning mode when the driving speed of the drive shaft clutch is within a predetermined range.
