MOTOR VEHICLE WITH A GEARBOX AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE}
[10] The object of the present invention is to essentially improve the sequence of the first-mentioned automotive synchronization process in such a way that the transition process among others can be carried out easier and faster and with less wear and tear.
[11] For the purpose of making the gearbox as well as the method of operating the gearbox, the synchronizing shift in the shift stage is considerably improved, especially with regard to the buildup of force, in the synchronizing axis taking into account the mechanical and elastic properties of the mechanism.
[12] This object is solved not only with the motors initially mentioned in the gearbox having a number of properties and / or process steps according to the following drawings and the description, in particular the presently combined claims, but also each with its own desired success. Reap
[13] Thus, in order to solve one aspect of the invention with a vehicle with a propulsion engine, a torque converter with a first actuator, an input shaft and an output shaft, and a second actuator, the gearbox is provided with a shift stage And a series of wheels forming a plurality of series of wheels, each of which is formed by a gear wheel fixedly connected to the shaft and the control unit, wherein the first and second actuators have a plurality of first mode activations. At least one shifting stage can be freely operated by the control, either individually by the controller or based on the input value, or activation of the second mode of operation is initiated through the input of the driver. The connection of the wheel to the shaft supporting it is connected to the synchronization device using an end output element such as a clutch sleeve. But occurs, the application of force for synchronization meshing takes place at least close to the rotation between the elements coupled to each other, it helps to synchronize the process of fully engaging to completion at least adjacent turns. The position of the synchronization axis of the at least one shift stage is stored in a storage device assigned to the control device.
[14] In this case, ie the connection between two force transferring means, for example reverse idler gears, pinion blocks, clutch sleeves, actuating pistons or hydraulic couplings. The final element that is started to determine the gear ratio that results is described as an end output element.
[15] According to a very advantageous embodiment of the invention, the position of the synchronization axis of the at least one shift stage-despite the changing synchronization position during operation-ensures a sufficiently accurate match between the synchronization and position stored in the storage and the actual synchronization position. It can be adapted to In a preferred embodiment, the fitting of the synchronization shaft will be fulfilled if the vehicle is at rest, the propulsion engine is running and the automobile brake is actuated to meet the requirements for adaptation of the synchronization axis position. It is helpful if the vehicle is stationary and the propulsion engine rotates at least at approximately an idling speed for the purpose of implementing the adaptation since a predetermined time t. In this way, the synchronizing axis generates a small speed difference between the elements to be connected via the clutch, which will keep the movement due to the moment transmitted to the wheel during the adaptation process and will probably reduce the speed of the still rotating shaft. .
[16] In most vehicles where the gearbox shifting stage is engaged via a second actuator having a means for selecting and operating the end actuating element, this means that the closure of the torque converter is adapted by the first actuating actuator so that the synchronization axis position is adapted. Access to the position by a second actuator very close to the stage, start at the position where the synchronization axis is to be moved with certainty, activate the end output mechanism to move the end output element in the direction of the end position, and insufficient synchronization It is useful for the adaptation of the synchronizing axis position, which specifies the steps for determining the synchronizing axis position based on the check of the engagement motion of the end output element due to. The second actuator has two propulsion forces, one of which can lead to a connection with a gearbox selector fork, for example to actuate a clutch sleeve which activates the desired shift stage to which the synchronization axis is to be applied. In such a manner, the gearbox selector finger is moved like a select drive for selecting the clutch sleeve at the point at which it is moved. In order to implement the adaptation process, the gearbox selection finger is first useful for bringing the position very close to the shift stage to which the synchronization axis position is to be applied.
[17] The gearbox selection finger is connected to the desired gearbox selection fork. The second propulsion of the second actuator acts as a gear shift drive for the movement of the gearbox selection finger in such a way that the clutch sleeve connected by the gearbox selection fork is moved so that an engagement or disengagement movement occurs. To adapt the synchronization axis, the engagement motion is started and implemented at the position where the synchronization axis is moved with certainty, for example from a neutral position to a position that facilitates the adaptation of the synchronization axis.
[18] In this case, the end output mechanism is understood to be a mechanism for integrating the end output element, which mechanism is used to describe a kinematic chain consisting of a single element or, optionally, a series of elements, the position of each point being Can be inferred to another point's location. It is also understood that within the scope of the present application, the end actuating element is an element that is positioned before the end output element in the kinematic chain, for example a gearbox selection fork. End output mechanisms typically include kinematics of movement / force to switch and select the clutch slip, clutch, gearbox selection fork, gearbox selection finger, gearbox to switch the connection of the gearbox selection finger. Some shift is determined, for example through a lever and / or a shift stage formed by a worm with a worm gear.
[19] According to another configuration of this preferred embodiment, the synchronization of the synchronization axis position is also determined via a calculation device assigned to the control device for direct use or to determine a new synchronization position based thereon as well as the old synchronization axis position. It would be useful to specify stage arithmetic manipulation of the axis position.
[20] According to another particularly preferred configuration of the invention, in an automobile in which the end positions of the gears are placed in a storage device assigned to the control and during operation, the synchronization axis positions are sometimes based on at least the adapted end gear positions. Is determined.
[21] It will be useful if at least one synchronization threshold value position is determined based on the adapted end gear position after each predetermined time has ended or after a predetermined number of independent adaptation procedures. In a preferred embodiment, the predetermined time is about 40 to 200 hours, in particular about 80 to 12 hours, or the predetermined number of independent adaptation processes is between 15 and 80, in particular between 40 and 60.
[1] The present invention relates to a vehicle having a propulsion engine, a torque transfer device with a first activating device, a gearbox with an input shaft and an output shaft, a second actuator. The gearbox has a series of a plurality of wheels forming transmission stages, each with a gearwheel that is securely connected to the shaft and a freewheel that can be connected to the shaft and the control device. And the first and second actuating devices can be automatically controlled at start-up via the control device and the vehicle operating method.
[2] Such a vehicle shift stage starts with a free wheel connected to a shaft supporting it by a clutch. The difference in rotation of the elements to be connected to each other should be at least about zero. Production of at least approximately equal revolutions is known as a synchronization process.
[3] For example, in one type of gearbox, the synchronization device connected to each freewheel is used to produce approximately the same number of revolutions between the elements to be connected to each other during the switching process, and the clutch until the rotational equivalence is at least in close proximity. Does not help full integration. At the beginning of the conversion process, the two elements to be connected to each other are first brought into contact by the friction surface. Assumptions occur based on engagement forces and friction values. In addition, the synchronization device has a locking device (locking device), the engagement is hampered by the force of this assumption. If the equivalent rotation takes place at least in close proximity and the force of the home falls to about zero, the locking device can be opened and the conversion process can be completed so that the shape lock connection is made between the interconnected elements. In addition, the engagement position at which engagement is prevented when synchronization of rotation is insufficient is known as a synchronization position. For other types of gearboxes, no synchronization device is used. In this case another way is ensured that the shape lock connection does not take place, for example by corresponding control of the propulsion engine or the shaft brake, until the rotation is at least closely equivalent. Suitable sensors are used for the purpose of measuring the rotation difference.
[4] In particular, in an automatic gearbox, the change of the shift stage can occur initially in an automated manner via the control device, and the activation of the control device can be started individually on the basis of a number of input values. Create complex requirements For example, during the synchronized engagement process at the determined point, the synchronization threshold, predetermined force, and synchronization force at which the clutch sleeve of the clutch is stopped due to the effect of the locking device must be determined at the moment when the stop is reached. This leads to the fact that the position of the synchronization axis must be sufficiently accurate known to the control device and / or that some type of synchronization force in an independent state must be used that is separate from the exact position of the synchronization axis. It is more decisive how the synchronizing force is enhanced or determined in such a way that the influence variables are considered in a sufficiently accurate way to reach a short transition time for optimum conversion.
[5] Its conversion resilience is known from European patent document EP 579 532 B1. Mechanical aids are known for interlocking the gears of a gearbox, which can be switched to cables or linkages, in which a switching sequence is transmitted through a switch control shaft which is rotated by a cable or linkage, For the purpose of controlling the switching process and the shaft, the mechanical connection between the cable or linkage consists of two connected elements which are elastically controlled by a spring whose relative translocation absorbs energy, which is compressed during the synchronization phase. It releases the energy absorbed once more after the last absorption. The auxiliary device described has some disadvantages of conventional gear shifting—synchronization time known as too long or free path, significant speed change in the form of too slow synchronization, and switching noise during engagement with disadvantaged teeth. Overcome what is detected. The above-described machine aids relate to manual shift gearboxes.
[6] In another patent document EP 695 892 B1 the gearbox switching system is described with at least one actuator as well as a clutch sleeve which acts on it, the associated connecting mechanism being a spring. In the disclosed gear shifting system, unacceptable high currents are prevented by propulsion means formed as electric motors if the shift cannot be carried out immediately. The announced gear shifting system relates to an automated gearbox.
[7] The switching elastic force described in EP 579 531 B1 functions as an energy collection device which is sometimes compressed and then re-extended. In this way the clutch sleeve is driven from a larger spring than can be moved through the fast action of the gear leaver by the driver. The resulting propulsion force is thus still dependent on the operating speed / actuation force of the gear lever by the driver, so that the exact setting of the reference force required for the clutch sleeve is neglected.
[8] The conversion elastic part disclosed in EP 695 892 B1 releases the stored energy once again after being compressed during the conversion process. The current diversion elastic aids in the movement of the clutch sleeve corresponding to a time lag synchronization process with respect to the actuation movement. The diverting elastic part protects the electric propulsion engine from overload but will not be affected by the engagement speed, taking into account the diverging elastic part with respect to the desired reference force.
[9] The system between the clutch sleeve and the propulsion means comprising a coupling mechanism having kinematic and elastic properties is particularly complicated in automated gearboxes. With regard to the implementation of the synchronous linkage of the shift stage, a sufficiently satisfactory solution has not yet been found that is suitable for a number of requirements regarding the speed of engagement, especially considering the elastic properties of the mechanism between the propulsion and clutch sleeves.

[22] To solve another aspect of the object according to a preferred embodiment of a propulsion engine, a torque converter with a second actuator, a gearbox with an input shaft and an output shaft and a vehicle with a second actuator, Has a series of a plurality of wheels forming a shift stage, each of which is formed by a freewheel that can be connected to the shaft and the control device and a gearwheel that is securely connected to the shaft, wherein the first and second actuators are first operated. Wherein at least one of the mode activations may be activated individually by the control on the basis of a plurality of inputs or by the control at the start in that the second operating mode activation is initiated via the input of the driver. The connection of the freewheel of the gearshift stage and the shaft supporting it is achieved by using an end output element such as a clutch sleeve Generated by the synchronizing device, the application of the synchronizing force during engagement at least in close proximity to the rotation between the elements to be connected to each other, the synchronizing force being the sportyness of the driver, the load of the car, the temperature of the gearbox oil, the elevating lever It can be adjusted according to the position, moment requirements of the propulsion engine, target speed, differential speed, gearbox towing moment and / or condition of the synchronization device. The synchronization force may thus vary over the course of operation so that the synchronization process can be optimized, and / or in accordance with these variables, which may vary according to these variables, which may change the corresponding fit from transition to transition. Can be adapted.
[23] In a motor vehicle with a propulsion engine, a first actuator, a gearbox with an input shaft and an output shaft, and a torque converter with a second actuator, the gearbox has a series of wheels forming a shift stage. , Each of which is formed by a free wheel that can be connected to the shaft and the control unit, and a gearwheel that is securely connected to the shaft, wherein the first and second actuators have a first operating mode activation based on a plurality of input values. By means of a separate start or by activation of the second mode of operation via the input of the driver, which can be operated in an automated manner at the start by the control, such that the rotation between the elements to which the synchronous force is to be connected during engagement When applied at least in close proximity to, once the synchronization process is at least close to rotation, the approach and synchronization of the synchronization axis To themselves, to address particular other aspects example preferred embodiment is implemented in a controlled force, to facilitate the full engagement. This is advantageous because it will be set in the synchronization axis, which advantageously occurs through the control of the force, for example, the movement between the various types of controls, such as the control of speed and force with its associated disadvantages, is avoided.
[24] For the force control of the end output element, it is useful if the counter force is calculated based on the speed of the end implement that is not only suitable for the spring stiffness but also takes into account the kinetic energy of the end implement. will be. On the one hand this is the kinetic energy of the clutch sleeve, while the ones of the moved components are the kinetic and propulsive energy.
[25] Given the spring stiffness of the end actuating mechanism with an opposite force above the target axis of this spring stiffness, it is very advantageous to use the characteristic line directly or indirectly for estimation. End actuation mechanisms often have spring / damping elements for setting the target of spring stiffness. It can be advantageously used if the characteristic line is to supplement the rigidity of the instrument.
[26] According to another particularly preferred configuration of this embodiment, the counter force is estimated based on the energy reception rate referring to the work performed by the drive of the end implement.
[27] In order to illustrate the purpose of another aspect, a method of dealing with synchronous positioning of the end output element of the gearbox end actuating mechanism for a vehicle with a lock-synchronized gearbox is used, in which the synchronizing position is made as soon as possible without overshooting. You have to approach it. In this respect, the exact starting speed and synchronization force of the end output element of the gearbox end actuating mechanism is based on a vibration equation with a damping constant which facilitates individual access to the exact point of the dependent synchronization position. It would be particularly desirable if controlled.
[28] Another aspect of the object is solved by the control of the way in which the reference engagement force of the clutch sleeve is generated based on the engagement speed and the elastic portion near the mechanism. This elastic part is used in a targeted manner to convert the kinetic energy of the actuator into latent energy during the run-up of the synchronization axis.
[29] According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the gearbox between the clutch sleeve and the free wheel, a synchronization device suitable for the engagement process for locking the full engagement forming the shape locking connection in the synchronization shaft until at least the rotation is close, at the synchronization axis Through the locking engagement motion, the kinetic energy is stored in the form of latent energy in the elastic part, and at the same time as the arrest of the engagement motion, the energy stored in the elastic part is at least close to the reference force.
[30] Within the scope of the present invention, terms such as reference engagement force or synchronizing force, respectively, refer to a force in an operating device such as a gearbox selection finger for the operation of the clutch sleeve.
[31] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the approach speed of the synchronization axis is selected according to the elastic properties in such a way that the engagement motion is simultaneously impeded so that the energy stored in the elastic part corresponds at least close to the reference force. At this time, approximately the total kinetic energy is stored together with the elastic potential energy so that there may be the maximum elastic energy according to the minimum speed. In this embodiment, the reference / synchronization force is set accurately at the synchronization axis via corresponding modulation of the synchronization axis approach speed.
[32] In another useful embodiment, depending on the speed of approach to the synchronization axis, the elastic part is selected according to its properties such that when the completed engagement motion is prevented, the energy stored in the elastic part corresponds at least close to the reference force. In this embodiment where the synchronization axis approaches a predetermined approach speed through the selection of the corresponding elastic part, the desired reference force is reached on the synchronization axis.
[33] In a preferred embodiment the target axis of the elastic part is below the force occurring during the synchronization process. In this way, the force is increased in the synchronization axis, including the elastic part and the characteristic line, during each synchronized switching process.
[34] Depending on the reference force, it is more desirable if the elastic portion at the synchronization axis reacts at a synchronization force of about 50-450N, about 200-600N or about 400-1000N. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the target axis is about 150-350N.
[35] In addition, to solve this purpose, a vehicle having a plurality of wheels forming a shift stage, each having a gearwheel that can be connected to a different shaft, and formed by a freewheel that is engaged with each other and a gearwheel that is securely connected to the shaft. A method of operating the gearbox is proposed. The gearbox comprises a clutch sleeve suitable for coupling between the free wheel of the shift stage and a shaft supporting it, a propulsion means suitable for carrying out engagement or disengagement of the clutch sleeve, a mechanism for connecting the propulsion means to the clutch sleeve, at least of Synchronization device operating between freewheel and clutch sleeve, suitable for generating synchronization moments based on locking and engagement forces of other engagements, until close proximity, elasticity near mechanism suitable for storing kinetic energy in the form of latent energy In addition to the adjusting means for regulating the propulsion means negatively and vice versa, it has potential energy releasing in the form of kinetic energy first, which determines the speed ratio: engaging the clutch sleeve in a speed-controlled manner up to the synchronization axis, On lock And whether the resulting opposing forces, comprising the steps go through the force control, through locking engagement of the movement in synchronization shaft energy is stored in the elastic portion to be used in a deterministic order to create a synchronization shaft reference force.
[36] Application of this method is preferred for the gearbox exhibiting the features of at least one of the preceding claims.
[37] Embodiments of the present invention are described in more detail below with reference to the drawings.
[56] 1 shows a schematic illustration of a motor vehicle 1 having a torque converter 4 and a gearbox 6. In this case, the torque converter 4 is arranged at the flux between the propulsion engine 2 and the gearbox 6. It is useful, in particular, for the gyrating mass to be arranged between the propulsion engine 2 and the torque transmission device 4 so that the partial masses can be rotated by intermediately connecting the spring / damping device with respect to one another. From the technical point of view of the drive train, vibration characteristics are significantly improved. The invention is particularly rotated as described in the Applicants' publication DE OS 34 18 671, DE OS 34 11 092, DE OS 34 11 239, DE OS 36 30 398, DE OS 36 28 774 and DE OS 37 21 712 It is preferred to be combined with damping devices that absorb or compensate shocks or damping devices. The motor vehicle 1 is in this case driven by a propulsion engine 2 represented by an internal combustion engine such as a petrol engine or a diesel engine. In other embodiments propulsion may occur by hybrid propulsion, electric motors or hydraulic motors. The torque converter 4 shown in this embodiment is a friction clutch in which the propulsion engine 2 can be separated from the gearbox 6, in particular for the initiation or fulfillment of the conversion process. Some moment is transmitted through the engagement / release of the increasing clutch. In this respect, the contact plate and the pressure plate are displaced relatively axially with respect to each other and intermediately arrange the friction disk to a larger or smaller area. The torque converter 4 formed as a clutch is advantageously self-regulating, ie the wear and cracking of friction linings are compensated in such a way that a constant release force is ensured. The invention is particularly preferably combined with a friction clutch as described in the applicant's applications DE OS 42 39 291, DE OS 42 39 289 and DE OS 43 06 505. The wheel 12 of the motor vehicle 1 is driven by a differential 10 by the shaft 8. If only one suitable speed sensor 60, 61 is provided with each of the speed sensors 60, 61 which generates a signal corresponding to the speed of the wheel 12, the speed sensors 60, 61 are connected to the drive wheel 12. Used. On top of this, or optionally, the sensor 52 is provided at another position in the drive train, for example the shaft 8, for measuring the gearbox output speed. The gearbox input speed can be measured with another sensor or from the propulsion engine speed as in this embodiment. For example, the gear ratio setting of the gearbox can be confirmed as such. The actuation of the friction clutch 4, which can be advantageously compressed and implemented, takes place in the case of an actuator 46, such as a clutch actuator, in another embodiment that is pulled out. In the provision of an actuator having two actuators 48 and 50 for operating the gearbox 6, one actuator performs a selection operation and the other a switching operation. The clutch actuator 46 and / or gearbox actuators 48 and 50 are designed as electric direct current motors, and it may also be very advantageous to provide a hydraulic system for operation in other embodiments if a large actuation force is required. The clutch 4 and the gearbox 6 can be controlled via a control device 44 which usefully forms a rescue unit with a clutch actuator 46, which in other embodiments adjusts it at different locations in the vehicle. It may also be advantageous. The clutch 4 and the gearbox 6 are controlled 44 in the manual or automatic operating mode through the input of a driver by a shift selector 60 such as a gear lever in which the input is recorded by the sensor 61. Can be operated in an automatic manner. The action shift conversion of the automatic mode is implemented by the corresponding control of the actuators 46 and 48 and according to the characteristic lines stored in the storage device assigned to the controller 44.
[57] There are also a number of driving programs determined by at least one characteristic line, which can be selected by the driver like a sporty driving program, and the propulsion engine 2 is operated in an optimized manner, in an economic program, which is driven by Driven by a consumption optimization scheme or a winter program, the vehicle 1 is operated in a driving safety optimization scheme. Also in the described embodiment the characteristic lines can be adjusted in a manner suitable for other second conditions such as, for example, the behavior of the driver and / or the friction of the roadway, the external temperature and the like. The controller 18 controls the propulsion engine 2 by influencing the supply of the mixture or the composite, in which a throttle valve 22 is shown in the figure and the signal is valid for the controller 18. In other embodiments of the control device 18 for regulating the propulsion engine, in the case of an internal combustion engine, it is effective for the control device 18 with reference to that a corresponding signal can be made so that the mixture synthesis and / or the supplied volume can be determined. Do. It would be useful if current lambda probe signals were also used. Also in this embodiment the signal of the rod lever 14 is generated by signals of the speed sensor 28, the suction pipe pressure sensor 26 and the coolant temperature sensor 24 whose positions are assigned to the engine output shaft, Recorded by sensor 16 actuated by signals related to engine speed. Control devices 18 and 44 may be formed structurally and / or functionally separate from sub-regions. It is useful if they are connected to each other by, for example, CAN bus 54 or other electrical connection for data conversion. However, it may also be advantageous to gather control area, especially since the assignment of functions is not always obviously possible and cooperation is required. In particular, during some phases of the shift conversion, the control device 44 can control the propulsion engine 2 in terms of speed and / or moment. Both the clutch actuator 46 and the gearbox actuators 48 and 50 produce a signal in which the actuator position can be at least inferred and valid for the controller 44. Incremental indicators are used to determine the position of the actuator relative to the reference point as the position is determined within the actuator range. However, in other embodiments, it may also be useful for the indicator to be arranged outside of the actuator and / or to determine the absolute position by means of a potentiometer. Determining the actuator position is particularly important with regard to the clutch actuator, since the gripping point of the clutch 4 is assigned to the determined engagement path and the resulting actuator position. The gripping points of the clutch 4 during start-up and operation are advantageously recrystallized repeatedly, in particular depending on variables such as clutch wear and cracks, clutch temperature and the like. Determining the gearbox actuator position is very important with regard to the transmission ratio set. In addition, the signals of the speed sensors 62 and 63 of the non-driven wheels 65 and 66 are valid for the controller 44. It may be a good idea to use the average value of the speed sensors 62 and 63/60 and 61 to measure the vehicle speed, for example to compensate for the speed difference while traveling around the bend. The vehicle speed can be ascertained by the speed signal and the slip can be recognized. In the figure the output connection of the control device is shown in broken lines. Input connections are shown with dashed lines and dashes. The connection of the sensors 61, 62, 63 to the control device is only in words.
[58] 2 schematically shows an example of a synchronized clutch of a gearbox connecting the freewheel 201 to a synchronizing body 203 connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a shaft. Fig. A shows the clutch sleeve 202 in neutral, Fig. B shows preliminary synchronization, and Fig. C shows the main synchronization. The clutch sleeve 202 is operated by the gearbox selection fork 211 and fixed in rotation to be connected to the synchronization body 203, but the corresponding pressure member 206 and the compression spring 205 form a synchronization device. It is axially displaceable with the synchronization ring 204.
[59] During the presynchronization phase B the clutch sleeve 202 is displaced with the preliminary synchronizing force FAV in the direction of the free wheel 201. The preliminary synchronizing moment T _RV is augmented by the friction of the tapered friction surface between the synchronizing ring 204 and the free wheel 201 so that the synchronizing ring 204 of the pressure member recess 210 at the lock output position. It rotates until it hits the pressure member 206 with respect to the side part. The inclined serrated portion of the clutch sleeve 209 shifting toothing at the lock output position and the shifting toothing of the freewheel 208 in front of each other in the region D in the direction D is the axis of the clutch sleeve 202. It is determined through directional movement. In the forward path, the preliminary synchronizing force F _AV according to the ramp, such as the arrangement in the pressure element / coupling sleeve region, is the spring force F _D of the compression spring 205 which biases the pressure element 206. In contrast to this, other axial transposition of the clutch sleeve 202 is possible, in which the inclined toothed portions of the switching toothing 209 of the clutch sleeve of the free wheel and the switching toothing 208 of the free wheel come into contact with each other. The transition to the main synchronization step (C) is made. In this case this location is described as the synchronization location. The axial synchronization force F _A is then applied by the inclined serrated portion, and the friction moment T _R is the teared friction surface between the synchronization ring 204 and the synchronous cone of the free wheel. In this case, the speed is synchronized between the free wheel 201 and the coupling sleeve 202.
[60] In another embodiment, the synchronization device may also be connected to the free wheel. Another embodiment of the synchronization device may be useful for other embodiments. If appropriate, the position mentioned in this case as the synchronization position will be another position, but in principle this does not change anything in the invention idea transition behind this application.
[61] 2A schematically shows an example of a gearbox clutch connecting the free wheel 205a to a shaft 201a supporting it. In this embodiment the coupling sleeve 203a is arranged in such a way that it is supported by a connecting element 202a connected to the shaft 201a but is axially displaceable but fixed in rotation. The synchronization device 204a is connected to the free wheel 205a.
[62] The two components 202a, 205a of the clutch to be connected to each other at the starting position 200a are still separated. The clutch sleeve 203a is in the fully released position A '. If the clutch sleeve 203 is displaced in the direction of the arrow, the position 210a leads to the synchronization device 204a with the conical friction surface being connected with the corresponding surface of the clutch sleeve 203a. According to the effective friction and engagement force in the direction of the arrow, a hypothetical force may be generated when the free wheel 205a is gradually accompanied, for example to trigger a locking device arranged on the clutch sleeve 203a which is not described. Prevents other engagement of the clutch sleeve 203a. This position is referred to as the synchronization position or synchronization axis. If the free wheel 205a approaches at least approximately the speed of the clutch sleeve 203a, the resulting moment of hypothesis drops to about zero, the lock is opened and the clutch sleeve 203a is also in position B '( C '). In the fully engaged position 220a, the shape lock connection is in the circumferential direction between the clutch sleeve 203a and the free wheel 205a in such a way that it is connected to the shaft 201 by the clutch sleeve 203a and its elements 202a. Is generated.
[63] 3 schematically shows an example of a diagram regarding initialization pre-conditions for synchronization axis adaptation. In this embodiment, it is checked in step 301 whether the vehicle is in a stationary state. It may also be useful if the vehicle is required to be stationary for a predetermined time t to ensure that the fast rotating shaft reduces the speed of rotation. If not, synchronization axis adaptation is made (block 307); Otherwise it is also checked in step 302 whether the brake of the car is actuated to ensure that the car does not run due to the limited moment transmitted to the wheel required for adaptation. If the brake of the vehicle is not actuated, no synchronization axis adaptation is made (block 307); Otherwise, it is avoided that the speed difference of the synchronization device is too large in checking in step 303 whether the propulsion engine is idle. If true, go to step 304; Otherwise synchronization axis adaptation is not achieved. In step 304 it is checked whether the shift stage is engaged. Only if this is true, then step 305 is followed; Otherwise enter the branch of block 307. It is also checked in step 306 whether there is a higher priority adaptation and only need to enter step 307 if adaptation is needed. If there is no higher prioritized adaptation, then synchronization axis adaptation is made at step 308. If other higher prioritized adaptations or other functions have to be implemented and conflict with the implementation of the synchronization axis adaptation, the synchronization axis adaptation goes back until these other adaptations and functions are finished and subsequently implemented.
[64] One example is the standard described for initiating synchronization axis adaptation. Thus, in other embodiments this standard may be checked in a different order. In particular, it may be a good idea to ask at the beginning whether adaptation is necessary or whether there is another higher prioritized adaptation or function. It may also be useful to bypass one or several criteria, ie branching to step 307 presented according to the figures in order to continue the progression of the adaptive implementation direction in step 308. This is indicated in the drawing through the connections shown by dots and dashes. In other embodiments it may also be advantageous to initialize the adaptation of the synchronization threshold in accordance with other criteria.
[65] In a preferred embodiment the starting clutch 4 is closed until at least the clutch moment is transmitted to effect the locking member connected to the clutch sleeve in order to implement the adaptation of the synchronization axis. In the selection direction of the next stage, the gear is started and the synchronization shaft is adapted to be adapted, for example as the selection drive 48 is driven in such a way that the selection finger is connected to the selection fork belonging to the shift stage or at least moved near the associated selection fork. will be. In this step, the center of the selection path is activated so that the starting position can be easily reached by all positions. However, in a modified embodiment it can also be very advantageous to start at the position of the diverting path, ie the position of the selection path immediately before the diverting path of the gear, to which the synchronization axis is to be adapted. Starting at this position-preferably the neutral position-in which the synchronization axis can be moved with certainty, the clutch sleeve is moved in the direction of the end position of the shift stage to which the synchronization axis is adapted, so that the movement speed Very slow in comparison. Movement in the end position direction is usually by angular acceleration with limited acceleration, moment control with limited force, repetitively, or by angular position of the propulsion force with a limited path ready for a probability path, by voltage control of the propulsion force, or with the power of the propulsion force. The control takes place at a regulated speed with limited acceleration controlled. It may also be advantageous to use a combination of these types of controls.
[66] In operation-preferably at idling speed-with the motor and the closed clutch, the differential speed occurs between the gear input shaft and the gear output shaft. As illustrated and illustrated in FIG. 2 through the estimated moment of the synchronization device, a stop of the engagement moment occurs. This position of the clutch sleeve is first fixed like the synchronization position. The identified clutch sleeve position value can be used as an original value or a manipulated value with a correction value. The value to be used is advantageously calculated from these newly identified and existing values.
[67] The discovery of the moment arrest of the clutch sleeve 203 usually takes place through observation of the clutch sleeve path, clutch sleeve speed, clutch sleeve acceleration, and this information is advantageously measured and distinguished near the end output mechanism or near the mechanism actuating it. . Advantageously, a propellant integrated indicator is used, such as an incremental path indicator. According to another embodiment, the movement check is made in the vicinity of the clutch sleeve, in particular in the presence of the reversible elastic part, which is probably present, whereby shear deformation through elasticity and / or clearance is avoided. In another embodiment, the movement stop of the clutch sleeve 203 is found by measuring the force in the region of movement extension between the clutch sleeve and the driving force. In another advantageous embodiment, the stopping of the movement of the clutch sleeve 203 is confirmed by the power absorbed by the driving force.
[68] It may be useful if the drive location integrated incremental path indicator is used in determining the synchronization position in the preferred embodiment by the speed of each position, the angular acceleration of the propulsion engine. In another advantageous embodiment the position is determined by the propulsion engine voltage or the propulsion engine power. Determination by angular velocity and / or transmitted moment of one or multiple gearbox shafts is also used in advantageous embodiments. According to another useful embodiment the stopping of the clutch sleeve moment is confirmed by a combination of the above mentioned steps.
[69] For the arithmetic manipulation of the synchronizing position identified via the computing device, an algorithm is used in which the multiplication and / or addition correction of the synchronizing position identified in the preferred embodiment is made. In other embodiments, it is useful to use a revision algorithm based on other mathematical laws such as power, logarithm, differential and / or integration, where a combination of modification types of algorithms is preferred. May also be advantageous. Preferred correction algorithms are developed based on the analysis, simulation, measurement and / or analysis of the structural diagram through modeling of experimental values, tests, and kinematic shift stretches.
[70] In the preferred embodiment, if a new synchronization axis is formed by the newly identified synchronization axis and the existing one, for example, the calculation is as follows:
[71] SyncThreshold.new = (x.SyncThreshold.old + Sync.Threshold.asceratined) / 100,
[72] The argument x is preferably very large, for example between 80 and 100, and the argument y is preferably very small, for example between 0 and 20.
[73] In a preferred embodiment the adaptation of the synchronization axis is under the conditions described above. However, if the driver accelerates during adaptation, for example when stopping at a traffic light, the vehicle will accelerate as soon as possible. As a result of this, the desired gear must be engaged as soon as the idling shift and / or the car brakes are no longer in operation. Particularly preferred is the embodiment in which the desired shift stage is defined within 600 ms, in particular between 300 and 400 ms, in the case described above.
[74] The described embodiments of the invention can in particular also be used during the detection of the synchronization position of a shift stage having a prototype or a series of automobiles within the routine range causing the same action.
[75] According to the above-described method of synchronizing device function, the synchronizing moment is independent of the friction value μ of the synchronizing device, the engagement force of the ring-shaped synchronizing device, and the friction radius R _sync, and the following is roughly estimated for the synchronizing moment M _sync .
[76] Msync = μF _sync R _fric
[77] The result of the synchronization moment has a direct impact on the transition comfort since high synchronization moments can cause disturbing noises and vibrations in the drive train. There may also be effects due to synchronization force (F _sync ).
[78] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention the adjustment of the synchronization force F _sync is provided to the extent possible without noise or vibration in the drive heat and the switching process and thus in a more comfortable manner. The adjustment of the _sync force F _sync can occur according to one or several variables as described below, for example the willingness of the rod lever position in FIG. 4A and the formation of an offset depending on the gearbox oil temperature in FIG. 4B. Shown. In FIG. 4C the synchronization reference force formation from the synchronization force is shown according to the characteristic field and the force offset.
[79] In the case of the load lever position as shown in FIG. 4A, in the preferred embodiment the synchronization force F _sync is increased by increasing the load lever position such that this increase occurs for each shift stage according to individual characteristic lines. . The synchronization force F _sync is preferably increased starting at a certain value with a load lever position 0 that does not correspond to about twice the acceleration operation in which the throttle transitions to full open. Even when switched in the kickdown state, the sync force F _sync is still increased. For small vehicles with engines of about 1 to 1.8 capacity, for example, adjusting the _sync force (F _sync ) from 120-310Nm, especially from 190-250 Nm to 420-650Nm, especially from 490-560Nm. Do. In large vehicles, the sync force F _sync is adjusted according to the instantaneous manner. In the embodiment shown, the synchronization force F _sync is not adjusted for the reverse gear. The exact progression of the characteristic line is determined as the synchronization force F _sync is most advantageous for each shift stage with a particular rod lever position, which can be confirmed, for example, by arithmetic or testing. In this way, an optimal switching process with respect to the synchronization force F _sync depending on the rod lever position for each shift stage is made possible. If the path of the characteristic line is essentially linear, in other embodiments the characteristic lines in the range of these characteristic lines are non-linear, such as sinusoidal function, tangent function, e-function, logarithmic function or parabolic function. It may also be useful if it has a path similar or corresponding to a function. In another embodiment it may be advantageous to use a single feature line or to use at least one feature line repeatedly for all shift stages to simplify control.
[80] The offset according to the variable in FIG. B is shown as an example of the gearbox oil temperature. In one example of a particular synchronizing force, an offset is given to a gearbox oil temperature of -20 ° C or less, whereby the gearbox oil temperature of 10 ° C decreases linearly from about -20 ° C to 10 ° C in a manner where there is no longer an offset. . In the course of the offset path with temperature as well as with the viscosity of the gearbox oil with respect to temperature, the multi-region gearbox oil which is common in this embodiment is used as the basis. The offset forces the synchronizing force to adapt to the viscosity of the gearbox oil and compensates for the increased loss of force at lower viscosity relative to temperature in a way that a corresponding course of the synchronizing force offset is usefully provided if other oils are used. do. In a preferred embodiment it may also be useful if the path of at least a subregion is similar or equivalent to a function such as sinusoidal, tangent, e-, log or parabolic function.
[81] As shown in FIG. 4C, the synchronization reference force in this embodiment is determined from the synchronization force generated in the characteristic field as shown in FIG. 4A and the offset formed according to the offset function as shown in FIG. 4B. In another advantageous embodiment of the present invention to form a synchronization reference force it may also be useful to adjust the synchronization force selectively or additionally based on other variables and / or to form other offset values based on other variables. have.
[82] In an advantageous embodiment of the invention the synchronization force F _sync is adjusted based on the driver characteristic value. These driver characteristic values can be characterized by the type of driver, for example, dividing from 1 to 100 to 1 for consumable drivers and 100 for performance oriented drivers. This driver type can be determined, for example, by observing the manual mode of load lever actuation, brake actuation and / or switching frequency actuation. In the preferred embodiment the synchronization force F _sync is all higher than the high value of the driver type, so the dependence of the synchronization force on the driver type in the characteristic field is preferably approximately linear. In other embodiments, at least the nonlinear dependence of the synchronizing force of the small regions preferably corresponds to or is similar to a function such as sinusoidal, tangent, e-, logarithmic, or parabolic function.
[83] According to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the synchronization force F _sync is adjusted based on the rising characteristic value. This elevation characteristic is, for example, characterizing the degree of carriageway gradient, where 1 to 100 divided by 1 represents a level carriageway / a gradient value of 100 which is very large for very large slopes in other embodiments. . The lift characteristic value can be determined for example on the basis of the manual mode of the rod lever actuation, the brake actuation and / or the switching frequency actuation and / or the one or multiple wheel revolutions. In a preferred embodiment the synchronization force F _sync is all greater than the high value of the rising characteristic value so that the dependence of the synchronizing force of the rising characteristic value on the characteristic field is preferably at least approximately linear. In other embodiments the nonlinear dependence of the synchronization force is accordingly or similarly preferential in small regions according to functions such as sinusoidal, tangent, e-, logarithmic, or parabolic functions.
[84] Also in another advantageous embodiment of the present invention the synchronization force (F _sync ) is adjusted based on the moment requirement according to the propulsion engine so that the high moment requirement is synchronized based on the target speed of the new shift stage during shift stage switching. In increasing the force, according to the high target speed, the synchronization force is increased based on the speed difference to be overcome during synchronization, where the high speed difference generates a high synchronization force based on the frictional action of the synchronization device, The friction value is generated based on the increased synchronizing force and / or the reduced moment of inertia of the synchronizing device according to the target gear, and the greatly reduced moment of inertia increases the synchronizing force.
[85] If the synchronization force is adjusted during the course of the synchronization process, in particular the synchronization force is adjusted about the end of the synchronization process, which is also very advantageous in that the comfort of the switching process between the different processes is improved. The end of the synchronization process can be sensed for example on the basis of the speed difference between the shafts being synchronized and lowered, which speed difference can be measured directly or specified in the control device by a mathematical model.
[86] Another inventive concept relates to the start of a synchronization location. Both the start of the synchronization position and the increase in the synchronization position are performed in a force controlled manner. In this way, a high speed synchronization force increase can be achieved independently of the incorrect synchronization position placed on the storage allocated to the controller 17,44, thereby making the overall control of the switching action related to the distribution of the synchronization positions stronger. . The clutch sleeve at the synchronizing axis C during the engagement movement in such a way that the desired synchronizing force F _A is generated, which occurs in the preferred embodiment based on the work shifted to propulsion with work / force characteristic lines, is produced. Propulsion control is attempted when exactly at rest. The synchronization force is then predetermined based on the energy reception rate, such as the function of the mechanical work performed with the drive.
[87] In FIG. 3A a drive 301a and a clutch sleeve 304a are shown connected to a mechanism 305a having an elastic portion 302a and a damper 303a. The purpose is to bring the clutch sleeve 304a to the synchronized position as soon as possible to bring it into the desired synchronization force state as soon as possible. The propulsion takes place in a propulsion engine which intersects the mechanism having the elastic portion 302a and the damper 303a, wherein the elastic portion is on the one hand a structural dependent part of the kinematic tension, while It consists of a specially provided spring device to provide.
[88] This spring arrangement is formed of two elements, which in a preferred embodiment can be rotated relative to one another, the compression spring being intermediate switched and the two elements rotating relative to the resistance. The increase over the entire area of rotation is different as the resistance / spring force increases to increase the rotation angle. An example path is shown in FIG. 4D. Several compression springs with different characteristic lines are provided for sequential or parallel conversion to make this path. However, in other embodiments it may also be useful if this characteristic line is raised equally over the entire range of motion.
[89] According to another inventive concept the use of elastomeric composites, in which elastic property lines are defined as desired by corresponding material selection and / or treatment, for example additional materials that increase the elasticity or the use of manufacturing or treatments that increase the elasticity, can lead to elasticity. It is used as In this case, it is very beneficial if the elastomeric composite has an increment of characteristic lines that vary over a range of requirements. However, in other embodiments it is preferred that the characteristic lines have the same increment for the entire area of motion.
[90] This pretension depends on the desired target axis at about 50-450 N, about 200-600 N or about 400-1000 N in that the target axis of the elastic is fixed in the preferred embodiment through pretensioned integration of the elastic element. In a particularly preferred embodiment the pretension is at about 150-350 N.
[91] According to another advantageous embodiment the elastic force is distributed, ie several individual elastic parts are provided so that the overall result is obtained with the desired result. The use of an elastic force working in the axial direction is given in another embodiment. In this aspect the actual drive element, for example the anchor shaft of the propulsion engine, is referred to as the thrust force in the elastic gears arranged in the mechanism between the drive and the clutch sleeve with the current gearbox. By construction the elastic portion is preferably integrated in a case surrounding the drive and the resulting gearbox stage.
[92] The damper of this mechanism, represented by 303a, can be based on structural dependent frictional forces or other additional, possibly adjustable damping elements. In the illustrated embodiment, the clutch sleeve 304a is driven to the synchronization axis in a speed-controlled manner to control the drive 301a of the clutch sleeve 304a via the control device 18, 44 of FIG. 1 in the engagement process. With the counter force perceived as locking the other engagement motion through the mechanism illustrated by FIG. 2, then the force control is transferred and at this point in time the elastic part 302a at least in close proximity to the reference force of the synchronized position. It is preferred to correspond to the energy stored in. On the other hand an exact match between the elastic portion 302a and the engagement speed with respect to the synchronization position is determined here.
[93] The synchronization position is started in a speed controlled manner. This speed is adjusted to a value determined using the clutch sleeve 304a according to the resilient characteristics of the mechanism 305a connected to the drive 301a and the required synchronization force. In a preferred embodiment the starting speed for the synchronization axis is about 25-20 mm / s according to the required synchronization reference force of 250-1000 N. With a three-fold increase in the required synchronization reference force, the starting speed for the synchronization axis increases by about five times when using an elastic part having a characteristic line such as that described as 401a in FIG. 4.
[94] At speed-controlled start-up to the synchronized position, the force limit is already too high and the level is lowered first to compensate for the friction forces present in the instrument, but then beyond a certain engagement speed to prevent the drive from turning back when the opposite force increases rapidly. Is raised. It is preferred to raise the level of force limitation from an engagement speed of 3-40 mm / s, in particular 5-25 mm / s. To compensate for friction with low engagement speeds with transient force limitations it is useful to adjust the forces separately from the frictional forces that cause values such as gearbox oil temperature, for example in such a way that the required engagement speed is always adhered to. High friction causes high compensation. Compensation is also reduced due to lower friction.
[95] The transition to force control occurs at the corresponding synchronizing position, where the engagement motion of the clutch sleeve is retarded and the elastic force is loaded into the potential energy by kinetic energy conversion and in this way the force is increased at least in close proximity to the desired synchronizing force. Friction compensation in the implement occurs through thrust forces that keep the drive working. Motion arrest when an electric motor is used for the drive is recognized based on the increasing energy requirements and / or speed reduction of the engine.
[96] In other proceedings, only a relatively small change is still necessary since this force is determined by the value of the limited / required synchronization force, since the force caused by the elastic portion already corresponds at least close to the desired synchronization force. In a preferred embodiment this value is 100-1000 N, so that synchronization occurs only when about 200-600 Nm and especially fast synchronization is required so that a synchronization force of up to about 1000 N is allowed.
[97] When the electric motor is used for the propulsion of the clutch sleeve 304a during a transition to force control, the voltage and speed of the propulsion engine are used for the measurement of the reference force so that the actual effective friction within the range of the force limit phase is compensated accurately. do. The preferred method offers the possibility of configuring the synchronizing force via the use of simplified switching resilience for the various shift stages and / or the corresponding control of the starting speed on the gearbox utilization and the synchronizing axis according to another inventive concept.
[98] In this embodiment, the crucial time benefit is obtained through the fact that the elastic portion 302a is integrated in a targeted manner in the entire synchronization engagement process between the others. With the resilient elastic portion 302a, reference is made to the applicant's German applications DE 197 34 023 A1 and DE 197 130 423 A1, the disclosure of which is expressly within the disclosure of this application. It is also particularly useful if, within the preferred control of the synchronized engagement process, the position of the most accurate synchronization axis in the storage allocated to the controller 18,44 is stored so that these values are updated at regular intervals.
[99] 4D is a diagram of the characteristic line of the transitional elastic portion surrounded by the mechanism 305a, which is shown in the diagram 104a in which a particular force deflection is shown. After passing through the range Sp present in the instrument, the dropping force F corresponding to the deflection is introduced, followed by an apparently lower increment, which in turn leads to the end of the deflection range of the characteristic line c with an apparently larger increment. The target axis of the elastic portion, i.e., the force that produces significant deflection, is below the upper portion of the characteristic line portion A during the synchronization engagement process. The transition resilient portion is preferred in this embodiment because a force of about 1300 N is required for a deflection of about 3.5 mm.
[100] According to another inventive concept the rotor may be advantageously separated by at least one clutch from a propulsion device, such as an internal combustion engine, for example connected to a free-rotating mass and separated from a shaft driven for the use of centrifugal forces, or It is proposed with an automobile gearbox to provide an electric engine that is configured in such a way that a hydraulic drive is possible. The gearbox according to this embodiment is a rotating mass during the retardation process of the motor vehicle, for example when the internal combustion engine, power generator, partial drive, starting device for full drive and kinetic energy are separated (recovered) into electrical energy or internal combustion engine. As well as the widespread use of electric engines, such as devices to convert kinetic rotational energy into rotors.
[101] For this purpose the instantaneous values of mechanical work are subsequently calculated by the controllers 18, 44 continuously, usually and carefully in other embodiments. This is done in the preferred embodiment by a routine as shown in FIG. 5A. In the first process, looking at the question in step 502, the calculation process is initiated and a reference day is calculated in step 507. In the next procedure, the current actuator work is calculated in step 503 by asking the compartment 502. In step 504 it is then checked whether the current clutch sleeve is timely close enough to the synchronization axis. If the starting state is true-if the reference force is equal to the synchronization force-then the routine remains as determined in step 505; Otherwise in next step 506 a reference force based on the current position with respect to the deflection of the speed / work diagram curve shown in FIG. 5C is calculated taking into account the force / work characteristic line which is advantageously measured through the tests. In other embodiments it is useful to calculate with reference to the elastic characteristic line of the instrument. With each calculation step beginning at the current location-the speed / day diagram of FIG. 5C-the reference force is determined for the next step in such a way that the desired deflection curve 511 is possible as well as the conclusion is drawn.
[102] FIG. 5B shows a speed / day diagram in which various paths are shown to reach the reference position (synchronization position) by applying a reference force according to the reference day A _ref . The boundaries of this chapter are shown by points in the figures. The foregoing measures the maximum power and maximum voltage of the drive. Very slow paths, such as path a, are disadvantageous because of the time required to increase the synchronization force, and this chapter has lower bounds. When engaged, an attempt is made to follow a fast path, such as path c. An advantageous path is shown by diagram 510 in FIG. 5C.
[103] In another embodiment of the present invention, the setting of the desired synchronization force (synchronization reference force) is adjusted without using any information at the position of the synchronization axis. In other embodiments it may also be useful to start the synchronization position itself in a controlled manner in which the synchronization process itself and the start of a useful synchronization position are implemented in a force controlled manner. The force against the drive for force control is judged to be nearly continuous and usually carefully followed in other embodiments. The control in this regard is made taking into account the stiffness of the kinematic tension between the drive and the clutch sleeve and the propulsive kinetic energy, so that a very fast and accurate setting of the synchronization reference force is achieved without overshooting. In particular, avoid the position where the driving force should be corrected when the synchronization position is reached to compensate for the false starting speed.
[104] According to a preferred embodiment, the force against the drive is shown through observation of the drive speed (step 601) as shown in FIG. 6, and this counter force is used for preadaptation. Depending on the identification of the tributaries of steps 602 and 604, the reference force is expressed by the equation | F _sync -Fi | <When the desired synchronization force F _sync according to F _boundary is sufficient-Fi is transferred to the F _boundary- , the calculated counter force or driving speed | v _i | corresponds to _{falls below a value} (v _boundary ). When this criterion is made, the starting condition of step 603 is met in that the reference force F _iref is equal to the desired synchronization force F _sync for the next step.
[105] Another preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a reference drive force (F) of the drive in assisting in the start of the synchronization position using propulsion artificial damping, wherein the driving and synchronizing force increase of the synchronization position is initiated at the position referred to as A in FIG. 2. Driving equation F _iref = F _max -kv _i is used for the evi adaptation of _iref ). F _max is calculated as F _max = F _sync / n ( ) + F _offset , where the desired synchronization force F _sync in the clutch sleeve, the driving degree of the result n ( ), the starting speed v _i, F _offset, variable k is applied. Also in this embodiment the desired synchronizing force is quickly determined without overshooting, in particular the choice of a variable that can be applied as a damping constant must have a great influence inherently and this variable must be correspondingly set according to other values.
[106] Due to the gearbox in which the shifting stage is switched by a manual clutch, it is necessary to position, for example, the gear end position or the synchronizing axis in the storage device assigned to the control to ensure frictionless progression of the shifting process. On the basis of the action dependent change in the kinematic change between the clutch sleeve and the thruster, a deflection between the actual position that needs to be adapted to the new position and the position placed in the storage device, for example wear and cracks May occur. Adaptation is preferably made during repetitive action. There is a connection between specific locations, ie when these locations are connected in the same way or at least proportionally, translocation due to action dependent changes takes effect.
[107] According to one embodiment of the present invention at least a connection is generated between the locations so that location adaptation should be used to modify other locations. For example, the adaptation of the gear end positions may be related to the adaptation of the synchronizing axis position, with the perfect adaptation of the gear end position, where the position of the associated synchronizing axis is correspondingly modified. It is also useful if the combination of positions for adaptation is not permanent but sometimes effective. For example, locations for adaptation to a number of times of a particular time may be connected to each other. About 40 to 200 hours, in particular 80 to 100 hours, is advantageous in this respect. However, in other embodiments it may be appropriate to generate more frequent connections, such as for example every few hours or several times per second. In other embodiments the coupling is dependent on the number of completed gear end position adaptations. Coupling usually takes place after a preliminary adaptation of the gear end position adaptation, for example after a gear end position adaptation of 15 to 80, in particular 40 to 60. It may be useful to connect locations for common adaptation in other cases, such as during a start or stop of a car, for example a traffic light.
[108] In another embodiment of the gearbox in which the gear end position is placed in the storage device assigned to the adjusting device, these gear end positions are adapted during operation.
[109] According to a further inventive concept it is proposed that the electric motor together with the gearbox of the motor vehicle should be provided such that the rotor is connected to a rotating mass, for example freely rotating, wherein the rotating mass is from a drive such as an internal combustion engine, It may be advantageous to be separated by at least one clutch from the drive shaft for the use of centrifugal forces and this arrangement constitutes a hybrid propulsion. According to this embodiment, the gearbox can be used for example in conjunction with the rotating mass during the rotation process of the motor vehicle when the starter, power generator, partial drive, total drive and kinetic energy are separated (recovered) for the internal combustion engine. Together, they help extend the use of electric motors, such as devices that use rotors to convert kinetic energy.
