Title: Fast-venting and fast-filling release element clutches
Inventor: KWAPIS DAVID L
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2005-11-23
Abstract: An automatic transmission 26 is connected to an engine 22 by a torque converter 24. A controller 28 communicates with various sensors and controls transmission kickdown shifting by calculating a torque of at least one engagement element, e.g. clutches (48-58, fig 3) based on a first relationship between a volume of an accumulator 32 and a pressure and controls the torque based on a second relationship between the torque and a duty cycle of at least one solenoid that operates at least one of the clutches (48-58). The controller 28 controls the torque by controlling the duty cycle and the first relationship may be defined by equations which may include inertia of the clutches (48-58) while the second relationship may be based in part on the transmission oil flow rate. The invention includes fast-venting and fast-filling release element clutches when a turbine speed reaches a certain threshold and the turbine speed begins to decelerate. The fast-venting may be at a first rate at initiation of a kickdown shift and a desired acceleration model may be based on a target gear speed.
