  • Patent number: 11988256
    Abstract: A clutch control method, including: determining whether a current vehicle state satisfies a condition for a clutch to enter a sliding friction state; if so, controlling the clutch to enter the sliding friction state, and determining a target sliding friction rotating speed of the clutch; determining whether the current vehicle state satisfies a condition for entering a clutch torque deviation collecting state; if so, collecting a torque deviation once and storing the torque deviation; at an end of an adjustment period, accumulating all torque deviations collected previously and taking an average value according to an accumulation number of times, so as to obtain an average torque deviation; if the average torque deviation exceeds a preset deviation threshold, recording the average torque deviation; and if the current vehicle state satisfies a condition for entering a deviation applying state, adjusting a current clutch friction coefficient according to the recorded average torque deviation.

  • Publication number: 20220243517
    Abstract: A drive mechanism control system and method of operation are provided. The system includes a motor for rotating an output shaft about a primary central axis. The system also includes a powered drive mechanism including a rotatable component attached to the output shaft. The system also includes a coil and a target attached to the rotatable component and configured to have a fluctuating inductive coupling with the coil. The system additionally includes an electronic control unit coupled to the coil and configured to generate a magnetic field adjacent to the target using the coil. The electronic control unit senses a variation of the magnetic field due to the fluctuating inductive coupling with the target as the rotatable component is rotated. The electronic control unit is also configured to determine an absolute position of the rotatable component based on sensing the variation of the magnetic field.

  • Publication number: 20200195180
    Abstract: A control system and method for controlling a brushless electric motor of a power operated actuator of a closure panel of a vehicle are provided. The control system includes a vector control system coupled to the motor to receive an estimated position of a rotor of the motor and a target torque current based on an actual angular velocity of the rotor. The vector control system also determines an alpha stationary reference frame voltage and a beta stationary reference frame voltage based on the target torque current and phase currents from the brushless electric motor in response to a Hall sensor trigger. The vector control system maintains the alpha stationary reference frame voltage and a beta stationary reference frame voltage and outputs a pulse width modulation signals to the motor based on the alpha stationary reference frame voltage and the beta stationary reference frame voltage.
