Controlling method of RPM flare of transmission for hybrid vehicle
A method for controlling revolutions per minute (RPM) flare, in which an RPM of a transmission increases due to clutch slip, for a hybrid vehicle can include: determining whether gear-shifting is performed in a transmission of the hybrid vehicle; detecting whether RPM flare of the transmission occurs when it is determined that the gear-shifting is performed; and controlling a torque of a motor of the hybrid vehicle so as to reduce the RPM flare of the transmission by reducing the torque of the motor when the RPM flare of the transmission is detected.
1. A method for controlling revolutions per minute (RPM) flare, in which an RPM of a transmission increases due to clutch slip, for a hybrid vehicle, the method comprising:
determining whether gear-shifting is performed in a transmission of the hybrid vehicle;
detecting whether RPM flare of the transmission occurs when it is determined that the gear-shifting is performed; and
controlling a torque of a motor of the hybrid vehicle so as to reduce the RPM flare of the transmission by reducing the torque of the motor when the RPM flare of the transmission is detected,
wherein the detecting of whether the RPM flare of the transmission occurs comprises:
determining that the RPM flare of the transmission occurs when a difference between an of the motor and an RPM flare control target speed of the transmission is greater than a specific RPM flare reference speed of the transmission; and
calculating the RPM flare control target speed of the transmission according to the following equation:
RPM flare control target speed=an output RPM of a transmission/current driving gear ratio of the transmission×LPF,
wherein “LPF” denotes a low-pass filter.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the controlling of the torque of the motor comprises:
reducing the torque of the motor based on a degree of the RPM flare of the transmission until a time at which the RPM flare of the transmission is maximized.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the controlling of the torque of the motor further comprises:
after the RPM flare of the transmission is reduced, recovering the torque of the motor to a value of the torque of the motor before the RPM flare of the transmission occurred.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining whether the RPM flare of the transmission is sufficiently reduced after reducing the RPM flare of the transmission.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
determining whether the gear-shifting is performed in the transmission when the RPM flare of the transmission is sufficiently reduced; and
controlling the torque of the motor so as to reduce the RPM flare of the transmission when the RPM flare of the transmission is present.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the gear-shifting includes upshifting or downshifting.
