Abstract

The present invention relates to an anti-jerk control apparatus and method for an Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV).
The anti-jerk control apparatus includes a model speed calculation unit for calculating a model speed of the motor in a state in which a vibration of a drive shaft is not considered. A vibration occurrence determination unit detects a speed vibration component while calculating a reference speed difference and an average speed difference from differences between the model speed and an actual speed of the motor, thus determining whether a vibration occurs on the drive shaft. A torque correction value calculation unit calculates a motor torque correction value for anti-jerk required to damp the vibration of the drive shaft, and controls torque of the motor if the vibration occurrence determination unit determines that the vibration occurs on the drive shaft.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An anti-jerk control method for a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), comprising:
calculating a model speed of a motor in a state in which a vibration of a drive shaft is not considered;
calculating an actual speed of the motor;
obtaining differences between the model speed and the actual speed of the motor, thus calculating a reference speed difference and an average speed difference;
comparing the reference speed difference with the average speed difference, and determining that a vibration of the drive shaft has occurred when a speed vibration component, obtained when the reference speed difference is greater or less than the average speed difference, is detected;
determining a motor torque correction value for anti-jerk required to damp the vibration of the drive shaft; and
controlling torque of the motor using negative feedback control allowing the motor torque correction value for anti-jerk to be applied so that the difference between the model speed and the actual speed of the motor becomes 0.

2. The anti-jerk control method of claim 1 , wherein the motor torque correction value for anti-jerk is determined by an equation of [torque correction value=gain*((model speed−actual speed)−average speed difference)].

3. The anti-jerk control method of claim 2 , wherein the gain is set to different values for cases requiring anti-jerk control, such as clutch releasing, gear changing, tip-in/out, and braking.
