Modeling of Power Transition in Full Power Shift of Hydromechanical Transmission

Abstract

This paper shall explore the dynamics of power transition in full power shift of hydromechanical transmission (HMT) and focus on the ideal target displacement ratio. An arithmetic two-range HMT is taken as the research object. A mathematical model of power transition in full power shift is established, including the hydraulic transmission unit model and the brake torque model during the double brakes overlapping. Aiming at the constant output power of HMT in the shift process, a prediction model of the displacement ratio target value is established, and the prediction method is proposed. By combining theoretical analysis and experimental research, it proves that the power transition model can describe the power transition process. And the prediction method of the displacement ratio target value proposed in this paper can complete the power transition when the double brakes overlap. In the power shift process, the output power can be transmitted normally in full power. The power transition model and the prediction method of the displacement ratio target value can provide theoretical and engineering references for the full power shift of HMT.

Performance Enhancement of Power-Cycle Hydro- Mechanical Transmission with Accumulator

“…Wang [18] studied the effect of control parameters of clutch hydraulic systems on shift quality during the starting of a tractor equipped with HMT. Bao [19] explored the power transition dynamics in the full power shift of HMT. It proposes a prediction method for the displacement ratio target when the double brakes overlap.…”
