Research on Buffer Characteristics of a New 2D Digital Buffer Valve for Vehicle Shift

Abstract

The clutch is currently developing towards high power, high stability, and intelligent operation. The traditional hydraulic buffering valve mostly uses a passive hydraulic buffer valve or a high speed on-off valve and a proportion valve. It has a single buffering characteristic and poor adaptability. It is difficult to meet the requirements. Therefore, a new theory and a new method are proposed. In the field of clutch oil pressure control, the 2D digital buffer valve is designed using 2D digital technology. The structure of the 2D digital buffering valve is described. Based on the working principle of the valve, a mathematical model is set up. MATLAB/Simulink is used to solve the model. The results are analyzed in this paper. Finally, a valve test platform is built and an experimental study carried out. The research indicates that the 2D digital buffering valve has a good static characteristic. The linearity is 9.25%, and the hysteresis is 0.106. The response time of the 2D digital buffer valve is about 55 ms, and the valve overshoot is only 18.62%. During shifting, the maximum deviation is 0.165 MPa, and the steady-state error is 0.056 MPa. Different buffer control signals as the input and the output of the valve can follow the input change. The experimental and simulation results are consistent. The rationality of the mathematical model has been verified.
