Abstract

A position offset compensation method of a clutch for controlling power that is transmitted from an engine to a wheel of a vehicle in accordance with one of exemplary embodiments of the present invention may include confirming whether an additional torque is transferred to the clutch, if a torque that is transferred to the clutch is larger than a predetermined torque, confirming whether a speed of the clutch is less than a predetermined speed for a predetermined time according to the confirming result, confirming whether the clutch is moved to an open direction according to the confirming result, and controlling the clutch position, by calculating a compensation value of the clutch position according to the confirming result.

Claims (26)

1. A position offset compensation method of a clutch for controlling power that is transmitted from an engine to a wheel of a vehicle, comprising;

confirming whether an additional torque is transferred to the clutch (S 220 ), if a torque that is transferred to the clutch is larger than a predetermined torque (S 210 )

confirming whether a speed of the clutch is less than a predetermined speed for a predetermined time (S 230 ) according to the confirming result (S 220 );

confirming whether the clutch is moved to an open direction (S 250 ) according to the confirming result (S 230 ); and

controlling the clutch position, by calculating a compensation value of the clutch position (S 260 ) according to the confirming result (S 250 ).

2. The position offset compensation method of claim 1 , further comprising applying the clutch with a torque such that the clutch is moved to an open direction.

3. The position offset compensation method of claim 1 , wherein the confirming whether a speed of the clutch is less than a predetermined speed for a predetermined time includes

confirming whether a speed of the clutch is less than a predetermined speed for a predetermined time, if an additional torque is not applied to the clutch.

4. A position offset compensation method of claim 1 , wherein the calculating a compensation value of the clutch position according to the confirming result includes

calculating a compensation value of the clutch position, when the clutch is moved to an open direction.

5. A position offset compensation method of claim 1 , wherein the controlling the clutch position, by calculating a compensation value of the clutch position according to the confirming result includes

comparing a position at which the clutch is completely opened with a position that is predetermined.

6. A position offset compensation method of claim 5 , wherein the controlling the clutch position, by calculating a compensation value of the clutch position according to the confirming result includes

calculating a difference value between a position at which the clutch is completely opened and a position that is predetermined to deduce the clutch position compensation value. If the position at which the clutch is completely opened is not coincided with the position that is predetermined.

7. A position offset compensation method of claim 6 , wherein the controlling the clutch position, by calculating a compensation value of the clutch position according to the confirming result further includes

controlling a position of the clutch position by using the clutch position compensation value.

8. A clutch position control apparatus that controls power that is transmitted from an engine to a wheel of a vehicle, comprising:

A torque application portion that applies torque to the clutch;

A clutch that is moved to an open direction or a close direction by the torque application portion; and

A control portion that confirms whether an additional torque is transferred to the clutch, if a torque that is transferred to the clutch is larger than a predetermined torque, confirms whether a speed of the clutch is less than a predetermined speed for a predetermined time according to the confirming result, confirms whether the clutch is moved to an open direction according to the confirming result, and controls the clutch position, by calculating a compensation value of the clutch position according to the confirming result.

9. The clutch position control apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the control portion controls the torque application portion to apply torque such that the clutch is moved to an open direction.

10. The clutch position control apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the control portion confirms whether a speed of the clutch is less than a predetermined speed for a predetermined time, if an additional torque is not applied to the clutch.

11. The clutch position control apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the control portion calculates a compensation value of the clutch position, when the clutch is moved to an open direction.

12. The clutch position control apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the control portion compares a position at which the clutch is completely opened with a position that is predetermined.

13. The clutch position control apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the control portion calculates a difference value between a position at which the clutch is completely opened and a position that is predetermined to deduce the clutch position compensation value, If the position at which the clutch is completely opened is not coincided with the position that is predetermined.

14. The clutch position control apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the control portion controls a position of the clutch position by using the clutch position compensation value.
