Abstract

A clutch control method of a vehicle may include estimating a change in an input torque supplied by a power source based on an extent to which an acceleration pedal is depressed by the controller; obtaining an additional torque at a level to prevent slippage of a clutch against the input torque estimated in the estimating of a change in input torque by the controller; determining a final clutch control torque for controlling the clutch by adding the additional torque, which is obtained in the obtaining of an additional torque, to the input torque by the controller; and controlling the clutch by operating a clutch actuator with the final clutch control torque determined in the determining of a final clutch control torque by the controller.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A clutch control method of a vehicle, the method comprising:
estimating a change in an input torque supplied by a power source from a depressed extent of an acceleration pedal by a controller;
obtaining an additional torque at a level to prevent slippage of a clutch against the input torque estimated in the estimating of the change in the input torque by the controller;
determining a final clutch control torque for controlling the clutch by adding the additional torque, which is obtained in the obtaining of the additional torque, to the input torque by the controller; and
controlling the clutch by operating a clutch actuator with the final clutch control torque determined in the determining of the final clutch control torque by the controller,
wherein in the estimating of the input torque, the controller obtains an operation variation by differentiating the depressed extent of the acceleration pedal to time, obtains a delay operation variation by moving the operation variation by a predetermined time delay on a time axis, and obtains a torque response function showing a change in the input torque by filtering the delay operation variation.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined time delay is set as a time for which a delay occurs until a change is generated in the input torque supplied by the power source in accordance with a change in the depressed extent of the acceleration pedal.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the controller obtains the torque response function by processing the delay operation variation with a low-pass filter, and a coefficient of the low-pass filter is set in advance, wherein the delay operation variation follows a profile constructed by the input torque supplied by the power source.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the controller, in the obtaining of the additional torque, obtains the additional torque for a value of function of the torque response function from an additional torque map having information about the additional torque for each value of function of the torque response function.
