Justification of criteria for controlling the locking clutch of a hydrodynamic transformer of tracked vehicles with a hydromechanical transmission

Topolnik Roman

The article describes the problems of ensuring the mobility of tracked vehicles with a hydro-mechanical transmission. The possibility of improving the acceleration characteristics by controlling the locking clutch according to the algorithm, taking into account the characteristics of the joint operation of the engine and the torque Converter, operating modes and the position of the crawler controls is considered. The criteria for controlling the locking clutch are justified, and the appearance of the power plant control system of a tracked vehicle is proposed.

Keywords:tracked vehicles with a hydro-mechanical transmission, the algorithm for controlling the locking clutch, the criteria for controlling the locking clutch, and the power plant control system.
