Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for operating a drivetrain of a motor vehicle having at least one centrifugal pendulum, in which the centrifugal pendulum comprises at least one primary part rotatable about an axis of rotation, at least one secondary part movable relative to the primary part, and at least one damping medium by which relative movements are hydraulically dampened between the primary part and the secondary part, wherein at least one temperature of the damping medium is calculated by an electronic calculating device of the drivetrain with the aid of a mathematical model.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for operating a drivetrain of a motor vehicle comprising: at least one centrifugal pendulum, in which the centrifugal pendulum comprises at least one primary part rotatable about an axis of rotation, at least one secondary part movable relative to the primary part, and at least one damping medium by which relative movements are hydraulically dampened between the primary part and the secondary part, wherein at least one temperature of the damping medium is calculated by an electronic calculating device of the drivetrain with the aid of a mathematical model. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one component of the drivetrain is operated in dependence on the calculated temperature. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the drivetrain comprises at least one drive motor designed to drive the motor vehicle, by which at least the primary part is driven and thereby rotated about the axis of rotation. 4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the drive motor is used as the component. 5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein a load of the drive motor and/or a rotational speed with which an output shaft of the drive motor is turning is adjusted in dependence on the ascertained temperature. 6. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the temperature is calculated with the aid of the mathematical model in dependence on a rotational speed and/or a load of the drive motor. 7. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the temperature is calculated with the aid of the mathematical model in dependence on a temperature of a coolant for cooling the drive motor. 8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the temperature is calculated in dependence on a fluid for operating a transmission of the drivetrain. 9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a grease is used as the damping medium. 10. A drivetrain for a motor vehicle, having at least one centrifugal pendulum, which comprises at least one primary part rotatable about an axis of rotation, at least one secondary part movable relative to the primary part, and at least one damping medium by which relative movements are to be hydraulically dampened between the primary part and the secondary part, an electronic calculating device, which is adapted to calculate at least one temperature of the damping medium with the aid of a mathematical model. 11. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the drivetrain comprises at least one drive motor designed to drive the motor vehicle, by which at least the primary part is driven and thereby rotated about the axis of rotation. 12. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the drive motor is used as the component. 13. The method according to one of claim 4 , wherein the temperature is calculated with the aid of the mathematical model in dependence on a rotational speed and/or a load of the drive motor. 14. The method according to one of claim 5 , wherein the temperature is calculated with the aid of the mathematical model in dependence on a rotational speed and/or a load of the drive motor. 15. The method according to one of claim 4 , wherein the temperature is calculated with the aid of the mathematical model in dependence on a temperature of a coolant for cooling the drive motor. 16. The method according to one of claim 5 , wherein the temperature is calculated with the aid of the mathematical model in dependence on a temperature of a coolant for cooling the drive motor. 17. The method according to one of claim 6 , wherein the temperature is calculated with the aid of the mathematical model in dependence on a temperature of a coolant for cooling the drive motor.
