Actuating device for an automated dual clutch transmission of a motor vehicle, and method for controlling an actuating device of said type
An actuating device for an automated dual clutch transmission of a motor vehicle drivetrain in manual-shift mode includes first and second shift elements disposed in a region of a steering column, the first shift element being configured to effect an upshift and the second shift element being configured to effect a downshift of the dual clutch transmission. Simultaneous operation of the shift elements is configured to effect idle operation of an engine with at least one open transmission clutch. The idle operation is present only while the first and second shift elements are actuated. The shift elements are configured to transmit a torque via a closed transmission clutch when at least one of the shift elements is released. A control device is configured to initiate rotational speed adaptation of the engine as a function of an actuation of the first and second shift elements.
1. A method for controlling an actuating device for an automated dual clutch transmission of a motor vehicle drivetrain in a manual-shift mode, the dual clutch transmission including a first transmission clutch with an adjoining first component transmission and a second transmission clutch with an adjoining second component transmission, the method comprising:
providing the actuating device so as to include:
a first shift element disposed in a region of a steering column and configured to effect art upshift of the dual clutch transmission,
a second shift element disposed in the region of the steering column and configured to effect a downshift of the dual clutch mechanism, simultaneous operation of the first and second shift elements being configured to effect idle operation of an engine with at least one of the first transmission clutch and the second transmission clutch being open, the idle operation being present only while the first and second shift elements are actuated, the first and second shift elements being configured to transmit a torque with at least one of the first transmission clutch and the second transmission clutch being closed when at least one of the first and second shift elements is released, and
a control device configured to initiate rotational speed adaptation of the engine as a function of an actuation of the first and second shift elements;
transmitting torque, in an initial state of the dual clutch transmission, via the first transmission clutch to the first component transmission, with the second transmission clutch being open;
actuating the first and second shift elements simultaneously, in a first step, by a driver so as to interrupt the transmitting of torque; and
releasing the first and second shift elements, in a second step, so as to transmit torque via the first transmission clutch to the first component transmission or via the second transmission clutch to the second component transmission, a rotational speed of the engine being adapted by the control device based on the actuation of the shift elements, wherein in response to the release of the first and second shift elements in a time offset manner, the control device provides rotational speed adaptation of the engine with torque transmission via one of the transmission clutches to a respective one of the first and second component transmissions.
2. The method for controlling the actuating device as recited in claim 1 , wherein, in the first step, the transmission of torque is interrupted by disengagement of the first transmission clutch.
3. The method for controlling the actuating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in the second step, in response to the release of the first and second shift elements simultaneously, torque is transmitted, without rotational speed adaptation of the engine, via one of the transmission clutches to a respective one of the first and second component transmissions.
