A hydraulic system was designed for the new dual-clutch full-powershift transmission of the newly developed 223.7 kW (300 hp) heavy-duty tractor, in order to achieve the purpose of uninterrupted shift and transmission cooling and lubrication. The AMESim dynamic shift simulation model was established, the flow and oil pressure properties of the hydraulic system as well as the dynamics of the clutches and synchronizers have been analyzed. The simulation results show that the pressure building time of the clutch hydraulic cylinder is less than 1 s, the pressure relief time is less than 0.6 s, and the pressure is stable during the pressure building/relief. The synchronizer hydraulic cylinder establishes stable oil pressure within 0.3 s; The cooling and lubrication subsystem takes 0.5 s to establish a stable oil pressure of 0.22 MPa, and the maximum flow rate is 57.6 L/min. The clutch completes the smooth transition of power during the shift, and the synchronizer completes the pre-selection before the shift. A new dual-clutch full-powershift transmission test bench was set up for further verification, the oil pressure test results of the clutch and synchronizer hydraulic cylinders are basically consistent with the simulation results, the output speed of the transmission increases from 270 r/min to 310 r/min, and the maximum wave momentum is 31 r/min, the output torque of the transmission is stable around 2 910 N·m, the maximum wave momentum is 10.1% of the stable value, and there is no power interruption during the shifting process. The simulation and test results verify that the hydraulic system can meet the working requirements of the new dual-clutch full-powershift transmission of heavy-duty tractor. The work in this paper can provide reference and guidance for the design and calculation of the hydraulic system of the dual-clutch full-powershift transmission of heavy-duty tractor.
