Analysis on Synchronizing and Gear Shifting Force of Commercial Vehicle Powertrain

Abstract

Based on a commercial vehicle transmission as the research object, the paper analyses the influence for commercial vehicle powertrain synchronization and shift performance by the rotational inertia of the clutch driven plate assembly and transmission input speed. According to the synchronization and shifting mechanism of the transmission, transmission shift dynamics model was established. Analyzing the causes of shift impact and the critical shifting force for mis-engagement put forward the shift control strategy to avoid shift impact. We can draw a conclusion that optimizing the clutch driven plate inertia parameter during clutch design can effectively improve the shift performance of the transmission.
