Method for controlling an automated clutch
View Patent ↗A method for controlling an automated clutch, which comprises a hydraulic clutch actuating system having a hydrostatic actuator, the pressure of which is detected. The method includes using the pressure of the hydrostatic actuator to adapt the characteristic curve of the clutch.
1. A method for controlling an automated clutch ( 10 ), which comprises a hydraulic clutch actuating system ( 1 ) having a hydrostatic actuator ( 19 ), a pressure of which is detected, the method comprising using the pressure of the hydrostatic actuator ( 19 ) to adapt a characteristic curve of the clutch.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising using a pressure signal of the hydrostatic actuator ( 19 ) to adapt a touch point of the clutch ( 10 ).
3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
moving the clutch ( 10 ) from a completely disengaged position to an engaged position; and
concluding the position of a clutch touch point from a beginning of a significant increase in a pressure signal.
4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising when no gear is engaged, actuating the hydrostatic actuator ( 19 ) with a slow position ramp, in order to obtain a position of a significant pressure increase.
5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising actuating the clutch ( 10 ) directly by means of the hydrostatic actuator ( 19 ) and a master cylinder ( 4 ) and a slave cylinder ( 6 ).
6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising correlating a coefficient of friction of the clutch ( 10 ) with a pressure signal of the hydrostatic actuator ( 19 ).
7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising obtaining a coefficient of friction of the clutch ( 10 ) by correlating a pressure signal of the hydrostatic actuator ( 19 ) with a clutch torque obtained from an engine torque and engine speed.
8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising using a pressure signal of the hydrostatic actuator ( 19 ) directly as an additional control variable.
9. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising using a pressure signal of the hydrostatic actuator ( 19 ) indirectly by a pressure-signal-based adaptation of form factors and crosstalk parameters.
10. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising using a pressure signal of the hydrostatic actuator ( 19 ) indirectly by a pressure-signal-based adaptation of form factors or crosstalk parameters.
11. A method for controlling an automated clutch, which comprises a hydraulic clutch actuating system having a hydrostatic actuator, a pressure of which is detected, the method comprising:
obtaining a coefficient of friction of the clutch by correlating a pressure signal of the hydrostatic actuator with a clutch torque obtained from an engine torque and engine speed; and,
using the pressure of the hydrostatic actuator to adapt a characteristic curve of the clutch.
12. A method for controlling an automated clutch, which comprises a hydraulic clutch actuating system having a hydrostatic actuator, a pressure of which is detected, the method comprising:
using a pressure signal of the hydrostatic actuator indirectly by a pressure-signal-based adaptation of form factors and crosstalk parameters; and,
using the pressure of the hydrostatic actuator to adapt a characteristic curve of the clutch.
