METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A SEPARATING CLUTCH IN A HYBRID DRIVE TRAIN, AND DRIVE TRAIN

摘要

A hybrid drivetrain and method for controlling a friction clutch of a hybrid drivetrain of a motor vehicle having a combustion engine which is coupled by means of a freewheel to a transmission input shaft of a transmission to transmit the engine torque, and having an electric machine which starts the combustion engine and/or propels the motor vehicle, which friction clutch transmits to the combustion engine a summed torque formed of a starting torque for starting the combustion engine by means of the electric machine and a drag torque which acts on the combustion engine when the drivetrain is in drag mode. To be able to operate the friction clutch reliably and to avoid over-dimensioning of the friction clutch as a result of high summed torques, a torque present at the friction clutch is limited to a predefined transmission torque which can be transmitted via the friction clutch.
