The powershift transmission have the advantage of easier operation and higher efficiency by using the hydraulic clutch and mechanical power transfer system. It is important to control the engaging pressure and time. The hydraulic control system is used for these controls of the modulator valve, the accumulator, the sump valve and etc. This study have made a simulator for verifying the pressure characteristic of the shuttle powershift transmission and developed the computer simulation model of the hydraulic components and system by using 'AMESim'. As a result, the design parameters which have an effect on the pressure modulation are verified to the spring stiffness of the modulator valve and the volume of the accumulator.

Performance of a hydraulic system is influenced by its working temperature. Therefore, it is very important to make the system perform uniformly in an entire range of the working temperature. In this study a simulation of a hydraulic control system for the powershift transmission of tractors was conducted and the effect of the temperature was investigated in terms of design conditions of the system. Results of the simulation are as follows. The hydraulic control system with a spring accumulator was found to be more convenient to control the shifting time than that with a gas accumulator. By returning the oil from the clutches to the system through a path between the filter and pump, the time delay due to the pressure difference between the low and high temperatures could be reduced. Therefore, it was recommended that the hydraulic control system for the powershift transmission of tractors must be equipped with a spring accumulator and a circuit to return oil from the clutches to the system through a path between the filter and pump.

Agricultural tractors require frequent shifting to improve operation efficiency, and PST (Powershift Transmission) is considered as a suitable transmission. However, due to the inherent characteristics of the PST, shocks arise during shifting, which imparts a negative effect on the operator. Therefore, in order to improve the transmission performance of the tractor PST, researches on various methods including the hydraulic system circuit, the engine input speed control, and the mechanical system of the transmission are steadily being conducted. In this study, in order to reduce the impact of PST on a shift based on SimulationX software, we analyzed the characteristics of the input signal of PCV (Pressure Control Valve) through sensitivity analysis and verified the simulation model through actual vehicle test. Optimization was performed for minimizing the shift shock for some of the parameters of the input signal at constant temperature and RPM conditions.

This study presents an analytical model of hydraulic clutch system of a power shift transmission to analyze pressure modulation characteristics. A typical hydraulic clutch system was modeled by using AMESim in which the parameters of major components were measured for simulation. Test apparatus was established using the components of power shift and power shuttle clutches with instrumental equipment. The results of simulation and experiment were so close that the proposed analytical model in this study was validated. However the cylinder model analogized clutch dynamics need to be improved in future study. The effects of parameters of orifice diameter, accumulator stroke and oil temperature on pressure modulation were analyzed respectively. The results of parameter sensitivity analysis show that modulation time and set pressure can be easily adjusted by changing parameter values. It is also found that the hydraulic clutch system used in this study is so susceptible to oil temperature that cooling equipment is necessary.

트랙터는 작업 시 부하의 변동이 크고, 부하 변동에 따른 적합한 단수로 운전 작업이 요구되기 때문에 잦은 변속이 요구된다. 특히 유단 변속의 경우 변속 시 큰 부하의 변동과 부적절한 변속 단수 설정할 때 변속 충격이 발생할 수 있다 이러한 변속 충격은 작업 효율을 저하시킬 뿐 아니라 운전자의 승차 감을 저하시킨다. (중략)

부하변동이 크고 전ㆍ후진 작업이 많아 잦은 변속이 요구되는 트랙터 작업의 특성에 의해 작업성과 효율, 양 측면에서 다루어진 변속 방식이 파워시프트를 이용한 변속방식이다. 세계적으로 60년대 이후부터 보급되기 시작하여 수동 변속기 다음으로 보편화되어있는 이 변속 방식은 특히 대형 트랙터에 기본으로 장착되어야 하는 것으로 여겨지고 있기 때문에, 해외수출을 위해서는 반드시 장착되어야 하는 것으로 받아들여지고 있다. 그러나 우리나라에서는 최근에야 트랙터용 파워시프트의 국산화를 위한 개발과정에서 연구가 이루어지고 있는 실정이고, 개발 중에 직면하는 다양한 문제는, 파워시프트 변속기에 대한 이해와 해석 기술의 부족에 기인한 것으로 생각된다. 그러므로, 파워시프트 변속기에 대한 시스템 해석 기술을 개발, 제공하는 것이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

파워시프트는 동력전달의 단속 없이 변속할 수 있는 변속 방식이다. 기어는 동기 물림식으로 되어 있으며, 유압 클러치를 통하여 주행 중에도 동력의 흐름을 제어할 수 있다. 주요 구성 요소는 동력 흐름을 제어할 수 있는 유압 클러치와 동력을 전달하는 기어 조합이며, 유압 클러치는 피스톤, 리턴 스프링, 디스크, 플레이트 등으로 구성되어 있다. 접속 시에는 유압 피스톤이 리턴 스프링을 압축하며 전진하여 플레이트와 디스크에 수직력을 가하고 이를 결합시켜 동력을 전달한다. 해제 시에는 리턴 스프링에 의하여 피스톤이 후퇴하고 동력이 차단된다. 이때 유압 제어 시스템은 최대 견인 부하에서도 변속을 원활하게 하기 위하여, 클러치 압력을 이용해 변속 중 작동 클러치의 토크를 정교하게 제어한다.

A dynamic model of a power shuttle transmission was developed and its validity was verified using the experimental data obtained from a transmission test bench. A 40㎾, 4WD tractor was also modeled using an application software EASY5 to investigate parameters and their effects on the power shifting performance. For a tractor model, the manual reverse gear was replaced by a power shuttle transmission. The tractor model also included an engine, main-gears for transmission, wheels, differentials and planet gears. Using the tractor model, the effects of the parameters such as modulating pressure and time, engine speed, tractor speed. tractor weight. reverse to forward speed ratio and torsional damper on the transient characteristics at starting and shuttle shifting were investigated by the computer simulation. The transient characteristics were represented by variations in clutch pressure, torque transmitted to input shaft and driving wheels, and power transmission capacity of the clutch. It was found that the modulating pressure and time affected most significantly the torque transmission and shifting time. The input torque, axle torque, power transmission capacity of the clutch and transmission time all increased with increase in engine speed, tractor speed. tractor weight and ratio of reverse to forward speeds. However, the axle torque decreased with tractor speed. Both the axle torque and power transmission capacity of the clutch also decreased with the ratio of reverse to forward speeds.
