Abstract
A touch point correction method includes determining respective temperatures of a first pressure plate, a second pressure plate, and a center plate and measuring an average temperature of the determined temperatures, determining rotational inertia based on the measured average temperature, determining a touch point correction amount based on the rotational inertia and engine speed of a vehicle, and correcting a touch point of a relevant clutch using the determined touch point correction amount.
Claims4
A touch point correction method for a Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), comprising:
- a) determining, by a controller, respective temperatures of a first pressure plate, a second pressure plate, and a center plate and measuring an average temperature of the determined temperatures;
- b) determining, by the controller, rotational inertia based on the average temperature measured at the a);
- c) determining, by the controller, a touch point correction amount based on the rotational inertia determined at the b) and engine speed of a vehicle;
- and
- d) correcting, by the controller, a touch point of a relevant clutch using the touch point correction amount determined at the c).
A touch point correction method for a Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), comprising:
- a) determining by a controller, a correction amount depending on a temperature of one selected from a first pressure plate and a second pressure plate;
- b) determining by the controller, rotational inertia depending on the temperature of the selected pressure plate;
- c) determining by the controller, a centrifugal force based on the rotational inertia of the selected pressure plate and a speed of an engine;
- d) determining by the controller, a correction amount based on the centrifugal force of the selected pressure plate;
- e) determining by the controller, a final touch point correction amount in consideration of the respective correction amounts determined at the a) and the d);
- and
- f) correcting by the controller, a touch point of a relevant clutch using the final touch point correction amount determined at the e).
