Abstract

A dry clutch control apparatus may include a vibration component extractor configured to generate a virtual target input shaft speed from a wheel speed and detect a vibration component based on a difference between an actually measured input shaft speed and the virtual target input shaft speed; and a feedback controller configured to feedback-apply as an anti judder control input a clutch control torque corresponding to only an amplitude in any one direction from a center of an amplitude of the vibration component recognized in the vibration component extractor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A dry clutch control method for a vehicle, comprising:
a reference speed generating step of generating a virtual target input shaft speed from a wheel speed;
a vibration recognizing step of detecting a vibration component based on a difference between an actually measured input shaft speed and the virtual target input shaft speed;
a control input step of applying as an anti judder control input a clutch control torque corresponding to only an amplitude in any one direction from a center of the amplitude of the vibration component recognized in the vibration recognizing step; and
a vibration state determining step of limiting the control input step to be performed only when the amplitude of the vibration component recognized in the vibration recognizing step is equal to or more than a predetermined reference value, between the vibration recognizing step and the control input step.

2. The dry clutch control method for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein in the control input step, the clutch control torque is proportionally controlled at a size in proportion to the amplitude of the vibration component.

3. The dry clutch control method for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein in the control input step, as among amplitudes in both directions from the center of the amplitude of the vibration component, the clutch control torque is applied in a direction in which a clutch is fastened, the clutch control torque corresponding to only amplitude in a direction in which the vibration of the clutch is offset is applied as the anti judder torque.

4. The dry clutch control method for the vehicle of claim 1 , further comprising:
a driving state determining step of determining whether the control input step starts according to a driving state of the vehicle, between the vibration state determining step and the control input step
wherein the driving state of the vehicle determined in the driving state determining step includes an launch state from a stop state of the vehicle, and
in a case of the launch state from the stop state of the vehicle, the control input step is performed.

5. The dry clutch control method for the vehicle of claim 4 , wherein the driving state of the vehicle determined in the driving state determining step includes:
a vehicle speed state representing whether it is in a range in which a judder of the clutch occurs in a case in which a vehicle speed exceeds a predetermined level;
a slip state representing whether it is in a range in which the judder of the clutch occurs in the case in which a slip of a clutch is less than a predetermined level;
an engine speed change state representing whether an engine is in a normal state in the case in which the change in an engine speed is in a predetermined range;
an engine speed state representing whether the engine speed is larger than an idle speed of the engine, and
when the vehicle speed state is in the range in which the judder of the clutch occurs, the slip of the clutch is in the range in which the judder of the clutch occur, the engine speed change represents that the engine is in the normal state, and the engine speed is larger than the idle speed of the engine, the control input step is performed.

6. The dry clutch control method for the vehicle of claim 5 , wherein the driving state of the vehicle determined in the driving state determining step includes:
a repetition number of an operation of stepping on and off an accelerator pedal by a driver within a predetermined time not to perform the control input step when the operation of stepping on and off the accelerator pedal is repeated within the predetermined time.

7. The dry clutch control method for the vehicle of claim 5 , wherein among the driving states of the vehicle, when the vehicle speed state, the slip state, and the engine speed state deviate from a condition to perform the control input step or when the driver steps off the accelerator pedal, the performance of the control input step stops.

8. A dry clutch control apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
a vibration component extractor configured to generate a virtual target input shaft speed from a wheel speed and detect a vibration component based on a difference between an actually measured input shaft speed and the virtual target input shaft speed; and
a feedback controller configured to feedback-apply as an anti judder control input a clutch control torque corresponding to only an amplitude in any one direction from a center of an amplitude of the vibration component recognized in the vibration component extractor,
wherein the feedback controller feedback-applies the clutch control torque as the anti judder control input only when the amplitude of the vibration component input from the vibration component extractor is equal to or more than a predetermined reference value.

9. The dry clutch control apparatus for the vehicle of claim 8 , wherein the vibration component extractor includes:
an integration part configured to obtain a rotating speed of an input shaft associated with current driving by multiplying a transmission gear ratio and a final reduction ratio by the wheel speed;
a high pass filter configured to process the rotating speed of the input shaft obtained by the integration part; and
a comparator configured to extract the vibration component based on the difference between the actually measured input shaft speed and the virtual target input shaft speed output from the high pass filter.
