Method for controlling EOP of torque assist AMT

#The present application claims priority of Korean Patent Application Number 10-2014-0161317 filed on Nov. 19, 2014, the entire contents of which application are incorporated herein for all purposes by this reference.

#Field of the Invention

#The present invention relates, in general, to a method for controlling an electric oil pump (EOP) of a torque assist automated manual transmission (AMT) and, more particularly, to a technique capable of providing an optimized operation method of an EOP by using a multi-plate wet clutch when performing shifting from a low speed or gear where torque fluctuation is large due to use of a torque assist ATM.

#FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a torque assist AMT system of a related art to which the present invention is applied as well.

#FIG. 2 is a shifting pattern graph in which an EOP operating line and an EOP releasing line are applied during shifting between a first gear and a second gear according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

#FIG. 3 is a graph illustrating a shifting pattern during third-gear driving.

#It should be understood that the appended drawings are not necessarily to scale, presenting a somewhat simplified representation of various features illustrative of the basic principles of the invention. The specific design features of the present invention as disclosed herein, including, for example, specific dimensions, orientations, locations, and shapes will be determined in part by the particular intended application and use environment.

#In the figures, reference numbers refer to the same or equivalent parts of the present invention throughout the several figures of the drawing.

#Reference will now be made in detail to various embodiments of the present invention(s), examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings and described below. While the invention(s) will be described in conjunction with exemplary embodiments, it will be understood that the present description is not intended to limit the invention(s) to those exemplary embodiments. On the contrary, the invention(s) is/are intended to cover not only the exemplary embodiments, but also various alternatives, modifications, equivalents and other embodiments, which may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
