Abstract

A method for parameterizing a software damper is disclosed. A target clutch torque affected in specified operating states by chatter vibrations is corrected by a software damper, wherein a transfer behavior of a clutch torque transferred via a friction clutch based on the target clutch torque is ascertained during a modulation of the target clutch torque. The software damper is parameterized with the help of the ascertained transfer behavior. To parameterize the software damper quickly and comprehensively, the target clutch torque is modulated by a broadband excitation in a frequency range of the chatter vibrations, and the transfer behavior is ascertained depending on operating parameters of the drivetrain.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for parameterizing a software damper connected to a clutch control system for damping chatter vibrations of a clutch torque being transferred by an automated friction clutch which is controlled by the clutch control system by a target clutch torque and which is positioned between a combustion engine and a drivetrain of a motor vehicle, comprising correcting the target clutch torque affected in specified operating states by chatter vibrations by the software damper, including ascertaining a transfer behavior of the clutch torque transferred via the friction clutch on the basis of the target clutch torque during a modulation of the target clutch torque, parameterizing the software damper with the ascertained transfer behavior, modulating the target clutch torque by a broadband excitation in a frequency range of the chatter vibrations, and ascertaining the transfer behavior depending on operating parameters of the drivetrain.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising generating the broadband excitation by a PRBS signal.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising generating the broadband excitation by a sinusoidal signal with time-variable frequency.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising ascertaining the transfer behavior depending on a mean clutch torque.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising ascertaining the transfer behavior depending on a selected gear of the transmission.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising ascertaining the transfer behavior depending on masses of the drivetrain which are coupled with each other.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising ascertaining the transfer behavior depending on masses of the drivetrain which are coupled vibrationally with the drivetrain.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising ascertaining the transfer behavior depending on at least one temperature of a component of the drivetrain.

9. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising ascertaining the transfer behavior depending on a driving resistance of the motor vehicle.
