Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0130654, filed on Oct. 21, 2019, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.


FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle supercharging system and a control method thereof. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a vehicle supercharging system and a control method thereof that may improve cooling and warming performance of an automatic transmission applied to a vehicle.


BACKGROUND

The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art.


Generally, when a transmission using a dry/wet launch friction clutch is applied to a vehicle, a conventional cooling method, such as a natural air cooling method or a combination of the natural air cooling method and a forced oil cooling method, is used.


Such a cooling method has good cooling performance in a high speed driving condition of a vehicle, but cooling performance by the natural air cooling method may be relatively reduced in a low speed or a stop condition.


For example, when a vehicle abnormally creeps for a long time on a flat road or a hill, or repeatedly goes and stops at a low speed, the number of slips of the friction clutch increases, so that the clutch may be rapidly overheated while being driven.


When a vehicle continues to be driven in a state in which the clutch is overheated, the clutch may deteriorate, which may adversely affect performance and durability.


In addition, when the clutch is heated at a high temperature and this abnormal harsh condition is maintained, the abnormal harsh condition may deteriorate driving performance of a vehicle, and thus more advanced cooling performance is desired.


In addition, the transmission of the conventional vehicle is not provided with a separate warming device for preheating for better engine starting in an extremely low temperature environment.


Therefore, when a clutch oil temperature and a temperature of bearing parts may not be quickly increased in an extremely low temperature situation, frictional drag increase in clutch related parts and a transmission oil may be disadvantageous to vehicle fuel efficiency and performance.


In addition, in a case of a wet clutch, a method of increasing the oil temperature of the transmission through forced friction control may be considered, but the method may adversely affect clutch performance and durability, and may also deteriorate vehicle driving performance.


Therefore, in applying an automatic transmission using a launch clutch to a vehicle, an excellent cooling method for improving clutch cooling and warming performance is desired.


The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

The terms are used only to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first element may be referred as a second element while not going beyond the scope of the rights of the present disclosure, and in a similar manner, the second element may be referred to as a first element.

Hereinafter, a vehicle supercharging system and a control method thereof according to an form of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.



FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic view of a vehicle supercharging system according to one form of the present disclosure.


Referring to FIG. 1, a vehicle transmission control system according to one form of the present disclosure includes an engine 1, a transmission 2, a turbocharger 3, a dual-turbine electric supercharger 4, an engine-side supercharging path part 5, a transmission-side supercharging path part 6, a cooler 7, a driving information detector 8, and a controller 9.


The engine 1 generates power desired to drive a vehicle as a fuel burns. For example, the engine 1 may be a gasoline or diesel engine, and it is controlled at an optimum operating point based on torque desired by a driver.


The transmission 2 is a transmission to which at least one friction clutch is applied, and for example, it may include an automatic transmission such as a dual clutch transmission (DCT) and an automatic manual transmission (AMT), and a manual transmission (MT).


The turbocharger 3 is an exhaust turbine driving type of supercharger that compresses external air and supplies it through an air supplying line AL to increase output of the engine 1.


The turbocharger 3 rotates a turbine by exhaust force of an exhaust gas discharged from the engine 1, compresses air flowing through an air cleaner through a compressor installed on the same rotating shaft, and supplies the compressed air to the air supplying line AL.


The air supplying line AL connects the compressor of the turbocharger 3 and the engine 1, and air for combustion of fuel flows therein. In FIG. 1, flow of the air that is supplied to the engine 1 through the air supplying line AL in a driving state of a typical vehicle is indicated by an arrow.


Since the turbocharger 3 utilizes the above-mentioned exhaust force, sufficient supercharging performance is realized at a high speed with a relatively high rotational speed of the engine 1. However, since the exhaust force is relatively low at a low speed, it is impossible to instantaneously increase the rotational speed of the turbine, resulting in a turbo lag, and thus, the supercharging performance of the turbocharger 3 is lowered.


The dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 is used to compensate for the limitation of the turbocharger 3, and compresses air by using rotational force of a motor. The dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 consists of a one-motor-two-turbine type in which turbines for supercharging the engine and the transmission are respectively installed on both sides of one motor. Here, the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 may increase an air amount and density by secondarily recompressing the air primarily compressed in the turbocharger 3. That is, the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 further compresses the air that is compressed by the turbocharger 3.


The dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 may operate in a desired operating condition regardless of the rotational speed of the engine 1 to supply sufficient air for boosting the engine and cooling the transmission.



FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic view of a connection structure between an dual-turbine electric supercharger and surroundings thereof in one form of the present disclosure.


Referring to FIG. 2, the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 according to the form of the present disclosure includes a stator 42 installed inside a housing 41, a rotor 43 that is rotated in accordance with an electrical signal applied to the stator 42, and turbines 44-1 and 44-2 mounted on a rotary shaft of the rotor 43.


The dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 may further include an inverter (not shown) that applies a signal by high speed switching through a semiconductor switching element to control rotational force of the turbines 44-1 and 44-2.


The dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 may be disposed adjacent to the transmission 2 away from the engine 1 because it is electrically operated and is susceptible to heat due to the nature of a control line CAN.


In addition, the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 may be operated according to a driving state of the vehicle to compress the air flowing in the air supplying line (AL), and may then supply it through the engine-side supercharging path part 5 connected to the engine 1, or through the transmission-side supercharging path part 6 connected to the transmission 2.


The dual turbine include a first turbine 44-1 in which is installed in one end of the rotor 43 passing through the stator 42 and connected to the engine-side supercharging path part 5, and a second turbine 44-2 in which is installed in the other end of the rotor 43 and connected to the transmission-side supercharging path part 6.


The first turbine 44-1 and the second turbine 44-2 share the stator 42 and the rotor 43, and rotate with same speed according to an operation of the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4.


At this time, the first turbine 44-1 and the second turbine 44-2 may be configured with the same compression ratio, but the scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the compression ratio of the first turbine 44-1 for the engine side may greater than the compression ratio of the second turbine 44-2 for the transmission side. Because the transmission does not desire a relatively large compressed air compared to the engine, the compression ratio may be applied differentially by designing different wing shapes or number of wings of the first turbine 44-1 and the second turbine 44-2.


Through this, due to the characteristic of the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 having two turbines, there is an advantage of reducing the load applied to the motor and the capacity of the motor. In addition, by applying a differential compression ratio of the turbines 44-1 and 44-2 of the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4, a large amount of compressed air may be supplied to the engine and the remaining compressed air may be supplied to the transmission. That is, compressed air is simultaneously supplied to the engine and the transmission.


The engine-side supercharging path part 5 branches off from the air supplying line AL that supplies air introduced from the outside to the engine 1, passes through the first turbine 44-1 of the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4, and then is connected to the air supplying line AL again.


The engine-side supercharging path part 5 serves to supply the air that is compressed by the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 to the engine 1 under a boosting condition of the engine 1 determined based on the driving information of the vehicle.


To this end, the engine-side supercharging path part 5 includes a first bypass line L1, a first bypass valve V1, a second bypass line L2, and a second bypass valve V2, and thus, the engine-side supercharging path may be connected or disconnected.


In this case, the second bypass valve V2 may be configured as a three-way valve. When the second bypass valve V2 is opened, the air supplying line AL of upstream and downstream portions of the second bypass valve V2 may be blocked, and when the second bypass valve V2 is closed, the air supplying line AL of the upstream and downstream portions of the second bypass valve V2 may be fluidly communicated. That is, the air supplying line AL may be selectively fluidly communicated according to the opening and closing of the second bypass valve V2.


The first bypass line L1 branches off from the air supplying line AL, and is joined to an inlet of the first turbine 44-1 of the electric supercharger 4.


The first bypass valve V1 is installed at a position at which the air supplying line AL and the first bypass line L1 join, and it operates in an open or closed state according to a control signal applied thereto.


The second bypass line L2 connects an outlet of the first turbine 44-1 of the electric supercharger 4 to the air supplying line AL.


The second bypass valve V2 is installed at a position at which the air supplying line AL and the second bypass line L2 join, and it operates in an open or closed state according to a control signal applied thereto. The second bypass valve V2 may be configured as a three-way valve.



FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic view of an engine-side supercharging path during engine boosting according to another form of the present disclosure.


Referring to FIG. 3, the engine-side supercharging path part 5 operates to open both the first bypass valve V1 and the second bypass valve V2 when the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 operates under the engine boosting condition. In this case, both a first transmission-side air supplying valve V3 and a second transmission-side air supplying valve V4 corresponding to a transmission cooling condition (that is, irrelevant of the engine-side supercharging path) operate to be closed.


In the air flow of the engine-side supercharging path part 5, since the first bypass valve V1 operates to be opened and the second bypass valve V2 operates to be opened, the air that is compressed primarily in the turbocharger 3 flows in the first bypass line through the first bypass valve V1 from the air supplying line AL, and is further compressed by the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4. In addition, the air that is further compressed by the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 flows in the air supplying line AL through the second bypass valve V2.


In this case, since the second bypass valve V2 is configured as a three-way valve, when the second bypass valve V2 operates to be opened, the air supplying line AL between the first bypass line and the second bypass line is blocked, so that it is possible to prevent backflow of the compressed air and to allow the compressed air to be supplied to the engine.


On the other hand, when it is not the engine boosting condition, both the first bypass valve V1 and the second bypass valve V2 of the engine-side supercharging path part 5 may operate to be closed (see FIG. 1 and FIG. 4).


Meanwhile, the transmission-side supercharging path part 6 is a transmission-side supply line that sucks air separately from the air supplying line AL that supplies the air introduced from the outside to the engine 1 and is connected to the transmission 2 after passing through the second turbine 44-2 of the electric supercharger 4.


The transmission-side supercharging path part 6 supplies the air that is compressed by the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 to the transmission 2 under the transmission cooling condition that is determined based on the driving information of the vehicle.


To this end, the transmission-side supercharging path part 6 includes a first transmission-side supply line L3, a first transmission-side air supplying valve V3, a second transmission-side supply line L4, and a second transmission-side air supplying valve V4, and thus, the transmission-side supercharging path may be connected or disconnected.


The first transmission-side supply line L3 sucks external air separately from the engine-side supply line AL, and is connected to the inlet of the second turbine 44-2 of the electric supercharger 4. In this case, an air cleaner filter (ACF) for a transmission may be installed in the first transmission-side supply line L3 to purify impurities in the air flowing in the transmission side.


The first transmission-side air supplying valve V3 is installed at the first transmission-side supply line L3, and it operates in an open or closed state according to a control signal applied thereto.


The second transmission-side air supplying line L4 connects the outlet of the second turbine 44-2 to the inlet of the transmission 2.


The second transmission-side air supplying valve V4 is installed at the second transmission-side supply line L4, and it operates in an open or closed state according to a control signal applied thereto.



FIG. 4 illustrates a schematic view of a transmission-side supercharging path during transmission cooling/warming in some forms of the present disclosure.


Referring to FIG. 4, the transmission-side supercharging path part 6 operates to open both the first transmission-side air supplying valve V3 and the second transmission-side air supplying valve V4 when the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 operates under the transmission cooling condition. In this case, both the first bypass valve V1 and the second bypass valve V2 corresponding to the engine boosting condition (that is, irrelevant of the transmission-side supercharging path) operate to be closed.


In the air flow of the transmission-side supercharging path part 6, since the first transmission-side air supplying valve V3 and the second transmission-side air supplying valve V4 operate to be opened and the electric supercharger 4 operates, the external air flowing through the transmission air cleaner filter (ACF) flows in the first transmission-side supply line L3, is compressed by the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4, and then supplied to the transmission 2 through the second transmission-side supply line L4.


On the other hand, the transmission-side supercharging path part 6 operates so that both the first transmission-side supply valve V3 and the second transmission-side supply valve V4 may be closed when it is not a transmission cooling condition (see FIG. 1 and FIG. 3).


In the above description, as shown in FIG. 4, criteria for determining the transmission cooling condition and the transmission warming condition are different depending on the driving state of the vehicle, but the path control of the transmission-side supercharging path part 6 and the air supply method for cooling and warming are the same.


Meanwhile, since the first turbine 44-1 and the second turbine 44-2 of the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 are respectively connected to the engine side and the transmission, compressed air is simultaneously supplied to the engine and the transmission.



FIG. 5 illustrates an engine-side supercharging path and a transmission-side supercharging path according to an exemplary form of the present disclosure.


Referring to FIG. 5, when the engine boosting condition and the transmission cooling condition are satisfied, the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 is operated, and the first bypass valve V1, the second bypass valve V2, the first transmission-side air supplying valve V3, and the second transmission-side air supplying valve V4 are opened.


Therefore, compressed air is simultaneously supplied to the engine and the transmission by the first turbine 44-1 and the second turbine 44-2 of the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4. At this time, since the compression ratio of the first turbine 44-1 is greater than the compression ratio of the second turbine 44-2, relatively large amount of compressed air is supplied to the engine.


Meanwhile, a cooling structure inside a transmission housing will be described below with reference to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7.



FIG. 6 illustrates a schematic view of a cooling structure inside a transmission housing in some forms of the present disclosure.


Referring to FIG. 6, the transmission 2 is provided with an air circulating channel 23 that is formed in a circumferential direction around a clutch drum 22 inside a transmission housing 21, and a channel inlet thereof is fluidly communicated with the second transmission-side air supplying line L4 of the transmission side.


Air flows into the air circulating channel 23 from the second transmission-side air supplying line L4 according to the air flow in the transmission-side supercharging path formed by the control according to the transmission cooling condition. Air is heated while circulating around the hot clutch drum 22 and is discharged to the outside through an outlet of the air circulating channel 23, thereby cooling the clutch and the inside of the transmission.


Then, when a clutch temperature is maintained in a normal range by cooling by the air introduced through the transmission-side supercharging path, the controller stops an operation of the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 and closes the related valves V3 and V4, thereby finishing the transmission cooling control.



FIG. 7 illustrates a schematic view of a simultaneous cooling structure inside and outside a transmission housing according to another form of the present disclosure.


Referring to FIG. 7, the simultaneous cooling structure inside and outside a transmission housing is similar to that of FIG. 6, so redundant descriptions will be omitted and differences therebetween will be mainly described.


Here, at least one nozzle Nz (or hole) may be radially formed at an end portion of the second transmission-side air supplying line L4 connected to the inlet of the air circulating channel 23. A structure for ejecting air to the outside of the transmission housing 21 through the nozzle Nz (or hole) formed at the end portion of the second transmission-side air supplying line L4 may be provided.


Accordingly, some of the compressed air flowing into the second transmission-side supply line L4 according to the air flow of the transmission-side supercharging path may flow into the air circulating channel 23, and simultaneously, may be discharged to an outer surface of the transmission housing 21 through the radially formed nozzles Nz. Accordingly, it is possible to improve cooling performance by simultaneously cooling the inside and the outside of the transmission 2.



FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 respectively illustrate a warming structure inside a transmission housing in some forms of the present disclosure.


Referring to FIG. 8, an inner structure of the transmission 2 is the same as that of FIG. 5, and a discharging path of the warming air cooled by the inflow and circulation of the warming air through the air circulating channel 23 is also the same as that of FIG. 6.


However, in the warming of the transmission, there is a difference therebetween only in that the vehicle operates in an extremely low temperature environment or in a condition in which a clutch oil temperature during cold starting is a predetermined temperature or less. Due to this difference, the air flowing into the air circulating channel 23 of the transmission 2 is heated up through a compression process by the electric supercharger 4 to be warming air having a relatively high temperature compared with the external air.


The warming air is blown into the transmission to circulate therein, thereby increasing the temperature of the clutch and the transmission.


Next, referring to FIG. 9, as in FIG. 8, air heated through the compression process of the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 may be introduced into the air circulating channel 23, and simultaneously, may be discharged to the outer surface of the transmission housing 21 through the radially arranged nozzles Nz.


Accordingly, it is possible to improve warming performance by simultaneously heating the inside and the outside of the transmission 2.


Referring back to FIG. 1, the cooler 7 is installed in the engine-side air supplying line AL to cool the air that is compressed and heated by at least one of the turbocharger 3 and the electric supercharger 4.


The cooler 7 is a cooling system installed separately from an engine cooler (not shown), and it may be configured as an air cooling type or a water cooling type.


The driving information detector 8 detects driving information desired for controlling the vehicle supercharging system in some forms of the present disclosure from various sensors according to the driving of the driver, and then transmits the driving information to the controller 9.


For example, the driving information detector 8 may detect driving information such as a signal of an accelerator pedal sensor (APS) according to an operation displacement of an accelerator pedal, a signal of a brake pedal sensor (BPS) according to an operation displacement of a brake pedal, a vehicle speed, an engine torque (Nm), and a road slope, transmission state information, a turbocharger operation state (ON/OFF), an electric supercharger operation state (ON/OFF), a transmission temperature (an oil temperature), an external temperature, and each valve state (open/closed).


In addition, when an autonomous driving system or an advanced driver assistance system is applied to the vehicle, the driving information detector 8 may detect driving information for autonomous driving collected from a front camera sensor, a radar sensor, a laser sensor, or the like.


The controller 9 is a computing device for controlling an overall operation of the vehicle supercharging system in some forms of the present disclosure, and it includes various programs therefor, data, and at least one processor for controlling the respective elements.


The controller 9 operates the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 according to the driving state of the vehicle to control respective valves V1 to V4 to form the supercharging path for boosting the engine and the supercharging path for improving the cooling or warming performance of the transmission 2 to which the friction clutch is applied.


The controller 9 analyzes the driving state of the vehicle based on the driving information collected by the driving information detector 8, and operates the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 when the engine boosting control condition or the transmission cooling/warming control condition is satisfied.


The controller 9 may control the bypass valves V1 to V4 so that the engine-side supercharging path part 5 and the transmission-side supercharging path part 6 are formed.


Specifically, when the engine boosting control condition is satisfied, the controller 9 may operate the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4, and simultaneously, it may form a bypass path of the engine-side supercharging path part 5 for the engine boosting.


In addition, when the transmission cooling/warming control condition is satisfied, the controller 9 may operate the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4, and simultaneously, it may form the transmission-side supercharging path part 6 for the transmission cooling/warming.


Further, when all of the engine boosting control condition and the transmission cooling/warming control condition are satisfied, the controller 9 may operate the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4, and simultaneously, it may form the engine-side supercharging path part 5 and the transmission-side supercharging path part 6.



FIG. 10 illustrates a block diagram of a detailed configuration of a controller in some forms of the present disclosure.


Referring to FIG. 10, the controller 9 in some forms of the present disclosure includes a driving state analyzer 91, an electric supercharger controller 92, a valve controller 93, and an integrated controller 94.


The driving state analyzer 91 analyzes the driving state of the vehicle based on the driving information collected by the driving information detector 8, and determines whether the engine boosting control condition or the transmission cooling/warming control condition is satisfied.


The driving state analyzer 91 analyzes an increasing rate of the APS operation signal according to the driver's accelerator pedal operation, and then, when a launch condition in which the increasing rate of the APS operation signal exceeds a predetermined threshold or an re-acceleration condition during driving is satisfied, it may be determined that the engine boosting control condition is satisfied.


In addition, the driving state analyzer 91, when the vehicle repeatedly goes and stops in a driving state of a low speed of a predetermined speed or less (for example, 20 kph or less) such that the operation signals of the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal are repeated for a predetermined time, or such that the transmission temperature is overheated to exceed the threshold temperature, determines that the transmission cooling control condition is satisfied. Here, the transmission temperature may be detected through the clutch oil temperature or the transmission oil temperature.


In addition, when an external air temperature is an extremely low temperature that is less than a predetermined temperature at start-on of the vehicle, or when the transmission temperature at cold start of the vehicle is less than the low temperature threshold, the driving state analyzer 91 may determine that the transmission warming control condition is satisfied.


To this end, the driving state analyzer 91 may store a control map MAP for determination for each of conditions derived through various tests, and may determine control and release points by using the control map MAP.


The electric supercharger controller 92 starts an operation of the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 when a control signal satisfying one of the engine boosting control condition, the transmission cooling control condition, and the transmission warming control condition is received from the driving state analyzer 91.


In addition, the electric supercharger controller 92 terminates the operation of the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 when a release signal is received from the driving state analyzer 91 during the operation of the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4.


The valve controller 93 controls respective valves V1 to V4 for setting the engine-side supercharging path or the transmission-side supercharging path in synchronization with a start point of the operation of the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4.


Compressed air may be supplied through the engine-side supercharging path part 5 connected to the engine 1, or compressed air may be supplied through the transmission-side supercharging path part 6 connected to the transmission 2.


That is, according to an operation command of a superordinate controller, the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 operates in common to the above three control conditions, and the supercharging path control for the engine boosting control condition, the transmission cooling control condition, and the transmission warming control condition may be performed by the valve controller 93.


The integrated controller 94 is a host controller that controls the overall operation of the supercharging control system of the vehicle in some forms of the present disclosure.


When the engine boosting control condition or the transmission cooling/warming control condition according to the driving state of the vehicle analyzed by the driving state analyzer 91 is satisfied, the integrated controller 94 may apply a control signal corresponding thereto to the subordinate electric supercharger controller 92 and the valve controller 93 to control their operations.


This may be described in detail through a vehicle transmission control method described later.


Hereinafter, a supercharging control method for the vehicle in some forms of the present disclosure based on the configuration of the above-described vehicle supercharging system will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings.


However, in the above description, the controllers of FIG. 10 are classified and described according to their respective functions, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and each of the controllers may be further subdivided by functions or integrated into one controller 9. Therefore, in the following description of the supercharging control method of the vehicle, the subject will be described as the controller 9.



FIG. 11 illustrates a flowchart of a supercharging control method for a vehicle according to one form of the present disclosure.


Referring to FIG. 11, the controller 9 collects driving information detected by the driving information detector 8 when the vehicle is started (S1).


The controller 9 analyzes the collected driving information to determine whether the engine boosting control condition, and the transmission cooling and warming control conditions are satisfied according to the driving state of the vehicle, and the supercharging control is started according to the above conditions (the engine boosting control condition, and the transmission cooling and warming control conditions) (S2).


When the driving state of the vehicle satisfies the transmission warming control condition (S3), the controller 9 operates the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 (S4), and simultaneously connects the transmission-side supercharging path of the transmission-side supercharging path part 6 for the transmission warming (S5). In this case, the first transmission-side supply valve V3 and the second transmission-side supply valve V4 of the transmission-side supercharging path part 6 are maintained in the opened state, and the first bypass valve V1 and the second bypass valve V2 of the engine-side supercharging path part 5 are maintained in the closed state (see FIG. 4).


Thereafter, after the controller 9 maintains the transmission warming control until the clutch oil temperature collected from the driving information satisfies a predetermined condition, it may stop the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 and disconnect the transmission-side supercharging path (see FIG. 1).


On the other hand, when the driving state of the vehicle satisfies the engine boosting control condition (S6), the controller 9 operates the dual-turbine electric supercharger (S7) and connects the engine-side supercharging path part 5 for the engine boosting (S8). In this case, the first bypass valve V1 and the second bypass valve V2 of the engine-side supercharging path part 5 are maintained in the opened state, and the first transmission-side supply valve V3 and the second transmission-side supply valve V4 of the transmission-side supercharging path part 6 are maintained in the closed state (see FIG. 3).


Thereafter, the controller 9 may maintain the engine boosting control until the launch/acceleration condition of the vehicle is released and then stop the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 and disconnect the engine-side supercharging path (see FIG. 1).


When the driving state of the vehicle satisfies the transmission cooling control condition (S9), the controller 9 operates the dual-turbine electric supercharger (S10), and simultaneously connects the transmission-side supercharging path part 6 for the transmission cooling (S11). In this case, the first transmission-side supply valve V3 and the second transmission-side supply valve V4 of the transmission-side supercharging path part 6 are maintained in the opened state, and the first bypass valve V1 and the second bypass valve V2 of the engine-side supercharging path part 5 are maintained in the closed state (see FIG. 4).


After the controller 9 maintains the transmission cooling control until the clutch oil temperature collected from the driving information satisfies a predetermined condition, it may stop the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 and disconnect the transmission-side supercharging path (see FIG. 1).


Then, the controller 9 may return to step S1 and selectively connect a desired supercharging path according to the driving state of the vehicle until the vehicle stops driving.


On the other hand, at step S3, the controller 9 does not perform steps S4 and S5 when the driving state of the vehicle does not satisfy the transmission warming control condition (S3).


Similarly, when the driving state of the vehicle does not satisfy the engine boosting control condition (S6) or does not satisfy the transmission cooling control condition (S9), the controller 9 may not perform steps S7 and S8 or S10 and S11 respectively corresponding thereto.


Since the supercharging control method described with reference to FIG. 11 is one example assuming a driving scenario of a vehicle, an order for each control condition is not limited to the above, and is determined according to driving conditions.


In addition, when a situation in which the engine boosting control condition and the transmission cooling/warming control condition are simultaneously satisfied occurs, the controller 9 may simultaneously perform the transmission cooling/warming control and the engine boosting control is first performed.


As such, according to some forms of the present disclosure, by utilizing the dual-turbine electric supercharger to perform the cooling control for acceleration through the engine boosting and for preventing overheating of the friction clutch transmission, it is possible to improve driveability of the vehicle and durability of the transmission.


In addition, by providing the transmission cooling function in the driving situation that causes the high temperature heat generation of the friction clutch and the transmission warming function in the extremely low temperature starting situation through one transmission supercharging path, it is possible to improve transmission clutch durability and vehicle quality.


Further, it is possible to improve performance of a dual clutch transmission (DCT) having excellent transmission efficiency, a manual transmission (MT), and an automatic manual transmission (MTT), and to improve vehicle fuel efficiency by improving marketability of transmissions using a launch friction material.


Although some forms of the present disclosure have been described above, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described forms, and various other modifications are possible.


For example, the vehicle supercharging system of the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described system configuration, and addition and modification as in various forms below are possible.



FIG. 12 illustrates a schematic view of a vehicle supercharging system according to a first additional form of the present disclosure.


Referring to FIG. 12, a basic configuration of a vehicle supercharging system according to a first additional form of the present disclosure is similar to that of the form of FIG. 1, except that a bypass hole 10 is formed in the second transmission-side air supplying line L4 of the transmission-side supercharging path part 6.


That is, when the second transmission-side supply valve V4 is opened, compressed air by the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 may be supplied to the transmission 2 through the second transmission-side supply line L4.


Meanwhile, when the second transmission-side supply valve V4 is blocked while the electric supercharger 4 is not operating, the air inside the transmission may be discharged to the outside through the bypass hole 10. Here, the non-operational state of the electric supercharger 4 may mean a state in which the engine boosting condition and the transmission cooling/warming condition are excluded.


In addition, the second transmission-side air supplying valve V4 may be configured as a three-way valve so that the first transmission-side supply line L3 and the second transmission-side supply line L4 fluidly communicate, or the second transmission-side supply line L4 and the inlet of the second turbine 44-2 do not communicate by blocking the inlet of the second turbine 44-2.



FIG. 13 illustrates a schematic view of a vehicle supercharging system according to a second additional form of the present disclosure.


Referring to FIG. 13, a vehicle supercharging system according to a second additional form of the present disclosure is similar to that of the form of FIG. 12 described above, but there is a difference therebetween in that a transmission cooler 11 is added in the second transmission-side air supplying line L4 of the transmission-side supercharging path part 6.


The transmission cooler 11 is installed in the second transmission-side supply line L4 of the transmission side, and it may improve the cooling performance of the transmission by cooling air heated in a compression process of the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 when controlling the transmission cooling.



FIG. 14 illustrates a schematic view of a vehicle supercharging system according to a third additional form of the present disclosure.


Referring to FIG. 14, the vehicle supercharging system according to the third additional form of the present disclosure is similar to that of the form of FIG. 1 described above, except that an air cleaner filter 12 is divided into an engine-side air cleaner filter 12a and a transmission-side air cleaner filter 12b.


In addition, the first transmission-side supply line L3 of the transmission-side supercharging path part 6 is characterized in that it is directly connected to the transmission-side air cleaner filter 12b instead of the existing air supplying line AL.


As such, the transmission-side supercharging path is directly connected to the transmission-side air cleaner filter 12b, and thus there is an advantage that the conventional separate transmission-side air cleaner filter (ACF) may be omitted.


In addition, air introduced into the engine-side air cleaner filter 12a passes through the turbocharger 3 and then is supplied to the engine 1 through the air supplying line AL, and air introduced into the transmission-side air cleaner filter 12b passes through the transmission-side supercharging path part 6 and the dual-turbnie electric supercharger 4 and then flows into the transmission 2.


Therefore, there is an advantage that the compressed air supplied to the engine 1 is not affected by directly transferring the air purified by the transmission-side air cleaner filter 12b to the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4 without bypassing the air supplying line AL during the transmission cooling/warming control.



FIG. 15 illustrates a schematic view of a vehicle supercharging system according to a fourth additional form of the present disclosure.


Referring to FIG. 15, the vehicle supercharging system according to the fourth additional form of the present disclosure is similar to that of the form of FIG. 14 described above, except that the integrated cooler 7 is shared between the engine-side line and the transmission-side line.


That is, since the air supplying line AL connected to the integrated cooler 7 at the engine-side and the second transmission-side supply line L4 connected thereto at the transmission side pass side by side, the configuration of the transmission cooler 11 of FIG. 13 may be omitted. In other words, the integrated cooler 7 is provided to integrally cool the air flowing through the air supplying line AL connected to the engine side and the second transmission-side supply line L4 connected to the transmission side, so that a separate transmission cooler may be omitted, thereby reducing manufacturing costs of the vehicle.



FIG. 16 illustrates a schematic view of a vehicle supercharging system according to a fifth additional form of the present disclosure.


Referring to FIG. 16, the vehicle supercharging system according to the fifth additional form of the present disclosure is similar to that of the form of FIG. 3, except that both the first bypass valve V1 and the second bypass valve V2 are respectively configured as a two-way valve and that a back-flow prevention valve V5 is provided on the air supplying line AL to which the first bypass line L2 and the second bypass line L2 are connected.


In air flow of the engine-side supercharging path part 5, the air flowing into the air supplying line AL from the turbocharger 3 is introduced into the first bypass line L1 by the opening of the first bypass valve V1 and compressed by the operation of the dual-turbine electric supercharger 4, and then it is discharged to the air supplying line AL through the second bypass line L2 and the second bypass valve V2. In this case, the back-flow prevention valve V5 may prevent back-flow of air and to supercharge the air to the engine-side by operating to be closed during the engine-side supercharging to block a passage of the air supplying line AL.



FIG. 17 illustrates a schematic view of a vehicle supercharging system according to a sixth additional form of the present disclosure.


Referring to FIG. 17, the vehicle supercharging system according to the sixth additional form of the present disclosure is similar to that of the form of FIG. 1 described above, except that turbocharger 3 is omitted.


According to the sixth additional form, even in an indirect injection engine without the turbocharger 3, a multi-point injection (MPI) engine, or the like, the engine boosting using the electric supercharger and the clutch cooling and warming of the automatic transmission provided with the launch friction clutch may be performed.


The above-described methods and apparatuses are not only realized by the form of the present disclosure, but, on the contrary, are intended to be realized by a program for realizing functions corresponding to the configuration of the form of the present disclosure or a recording medium for recording the program.


While this present disclosure has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical forms, it is to be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the disclosed forms, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.
