Transmission Shift Control Method

View page
US Patent:
6435049, Aug 20, 2002
Filed:
Feb 15, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/505001
Inventors:
Clayton George Janasek - Independence KS
Russell Dee Taylor - Manhattan KS
Richard Marvin Sparks - Bartlesville OK
Assignee:
Deere Company - Moline IL
International Classification:
F16H 5900
US Classification:
74335, 74336 R, 477143
Abstract:
A method of controlling, in response to a shift command, a commanded shift of a powershift transmission of an engine-driven vehicle includes monitoring speeds transmission component selected according to the commanded shift and monitoring a speed ratio therefrom. If the input section will speed up during the commanded shift, the speed clutches are swapped, and then the output clutches are swapped when the monitored speed ratio matches a stored speed ratio. Also, the input speed of an input shaft of the transmission is monitored, and the pressure of the off-going output clutch is controlled to limit the deceleration of the input shaft speed to desired limits. If the input section will slow down during the commanded shift, the output clutches are swapped, and then the speed clutches are swapped when a monitored speed ratio matches a stored speed ratio. If a particular shift requires swapping of only speed clutches, then a speed ratio is monitored for the pair of the speed clutches to be swapped. If the input section will speed up or slow down during the commanded shift, the pair of speed clutches are swapped, and the monitored speed ratio is compared to a predetermined stored speed ratio value to determine when swapping of the speed clutches is completed, and after the speed clutches are swapped, one of the output clutches is fully pressurized to complete the shift.

Work Machine With Power Limit Control Using An Infinitely Variable Transmission

View page
US Patent:
7972240, Jul 5, 2011
Filed:
Dec 19, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/959510
Inventors:
Clayton George Janasek - Independence KS, US
Assignee:
Deere & Company - Moline IL
International Classification:
B60W 10/02
B60W 10/10
US Classification:
477 39, 477 79
Abstract:
A work machine includes an internal combustion (IC) engine, and an infinitely variable transmission (IVT) coupled with the IC engine. The IVT includes an adjustable module and a mechanical module, with an adjustable input/output (I/O) ratio. A clutch is coupled with the mechanical module and has an output. An adjustable operator input device provides an output signal representing a power limit control. At least one electrical processing circuit is coupled with the operator input device and configured for controlling a selected combination of the I/O ratio and the clutch output, dependent upon the output signal from the operator input device.

Work Machine With Ivt Output Automatically Adjusted Dependent Upon Engine Load

View page
US Patent:
8457848, Jun 4, 2013
Filed:
Oct 31, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/930669
Inventors:
Briton Todd Eastman - Coffeyville KS, US
Clayton George Janasek - Independence KS, US
Assignee:
Deere & Company - Moline IL
International Classification:
G06F 7/00
US Classification:
701 54, 477115
Abstract:
A work machine includes an internal combustion (IC) engine, and an infinitely variable transmission (IVT) coupled with the IC engine. At least one sensor provides an output signal representing a real-time load value on the IC engine. At least one electrical processing circuit is configured for controlling an output of the IVT, dependent upon a threshold load value for the IC engine and the real-time load value for the IC engine. In one embodiment, the at least one electrical processing circuit includes an engine control unit (ECU) associated with the IC engine, and a transmission control unit (TCU) associated with the IVT. The ECU provides an output signal to the TCU representing the real-time load value. The TCU controls the output of the IVT dependent upon a comparison between the threshold load value and the real-time load value.

Transmission Shift Control With Engine Torque Control

View page
US Patent:
20040014563, Jan 22, 2004
Filed:
Jul 19, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/199939
Inventors:
Clayton Janasek - Independence KS, US
Jared Dobbins - Pryor OK, US
Timothy Rice - Independence KS, US
Michael Testerman - Dearing KS, US
Michael Pipho - Dunkerton IA, US
Barry Plassman - Cedar Falls IA, US
Assignee:
Deere & Company, a Delaware Corporation
International Classification:
B60K041/06
US Classification:
477/109000
Abstract:
A transmission controller determines a requested engine torque value. For an upshift the requested engine torque value is determined as a function of slippage of one of an off-going clutch. For a downshift, the requested engine torque value is determined as a function of actual sensed engine torque. The requested torque value is sent to an engine controller which controls the engine so that the engine generates the requested engine torque. Then the appropriate transmission clutches are swapped to complete the requested shift while the engine torque is controlled. The engine controller also limits engine torque to the requested engine torque value.

Power Management For Infinitely Variable Transmission (Ivt) Equipped Machines

US Patent:
20070281826, Dec 6, 2007
Filed:
Jun 5, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/446626

Michael Duane Testerman - Dearing KS, US
Michael L. Frank - Cedar Falls IA, US
International Classification:
B60W 10/00
US Classification:
477 78
Abstract:
The invention relates to power management of a off-highway vehicle. A power management apparatus is described as a vehicle control unit coupled to a vehicle and the vehicle control unit is in communication with an engine and a transmission controller. In response to power management input, the vehicle control unit sends a message to the transmission controller commanding a maximum torque limit based on the maximum drivetrain torque. The maximum torque limit is configured to optimize power to the vehicle implement.

US Patent:
20090112414, Apr 30, 2009
Filed:

Slip-Based Shift Control System

View page
US Patent:
61936308, Feb 27, 2001
Filed:
Jul 26, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/362233
Inventors:
Clayton George Janasek - Independence KS
Richard Marvin Sparks - Bartlesville OK
Assignee:
Deere & Company - Moline IL
International Classification:
F16H 6126
F16H 6106
US Classification:
477156
Abstract:
A powershift transmission of an engine-driven vehicle includes input and output shafts, a plurality of fluid pressure operated clutch for controlling flow of torque through the transmission and pressure control valves for controlling fluid pressure communicated to the clutches. A method of controlling an off-going clutch during a shift of the transmission includes detecting a load on the engine, as a function of the detected load, determining a slip pressure, which when applied to the clutch would cause the clutch to slip, and applying the slip pressure to the clutch. If the clutch is not slipping, the pressure applied to the clutch is reduced until relative rotation (slip) between the input and output elements of said clutch is detected. Then a pressure increase is determined, which when applied to the slipping clutch would allow the slipping clutch to continue to slip while transmitting the same torque it was transmitting before it began to slip. Finally, this pressure increase is applied to the slipping clutch.

Power Control System With Engine Throttle Shift Function

US Patent:
20220227351, Jul 21, 2022
Filed:
Jan 21, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/154729
Inventors:
- Moline IL, US
Clayton G. Janasek - Independence KS, US
Eric Vilar - Dubuque IA, US
International Classification:
B60W 20/40
B60W 10/10
B60W 10/02
B60W 10/06
B60W 10/08
Abstract:
A control system for a work vehicle includes a power source with an engine and at least one motor configured to generate power; a transmission including a plurality of clutches configured for selective engagement to transfer the power to drive an output shaft of a powertrain of the work vehicle; and a controller coupled to the power source and the transmission. The controller has a processor and memory architecture configured to: initiate a transition for the transmission between a first transmission mode and a second transmission mode at a first shift point associated with an engine throttle shift function; determine a current engine speed; and generate and execute an engine speed command for the engine such that a commanded engine speed is a function of the current engine speed in accordance with the engine throttle shift function upon the transition of the transmission at the first shift point.
