본 연구는 다양한 차종의 승용 자동 변속기 변속 성능 및 내구성 평가를 위한 시험 장비 설계를 위하여 수행되었다. 다양한 차종의 주행 중 변속 특성을 시험 장비에서 구현하기 위하여 가장 작은 배기량을 갖는 차량과 가장 큰 배기량을 갖는 차량의 엔진 성능 곡선, 차량 총 중량, 총 기어비를 분석하였다. 분석된 결과를 바탕으로 하여 차량의 총 중량에 의한 관성이 변속기 후단에 전달되었을 때의 등가 관성을 각각 계산하였다. 다양한 차종의 엔진 관성과 성능 곡선을 만족시키기 위해서 입력 동력원은 정격 출력 440㎾, 정격 토크 146.7 kg·m, 관성모멘트 1.76 kg·m2으로 선정한 후 차종에 따라 3가지의 증속기(2.1:1~4.2:1)를 선택할 수 있으며 추가적인 기계 관성을 증속기 후단에 장착할 수 있도록 설계한다. 출력 동력원은 정격 출력 520㎾, 정격 토크 500kg·m, 관성모멘트 5kg·m2로 선정한 후 2:1 감속기와 추가적인 기계 관성을 장착할 수 있도록 설계한다. 다양한 차종의 자동 변속기 변속 특성 및 내구성을 간단한 장치 변경을 통하여 하나의 시험 장비에서 시험할 수 있는 방법을 대상 차량의 엔진 및 관성 정보를 분석하여 제안하였다. 이러한 시험 장비를 활용한다면 자동변속기 개발 및 성능 향상을 위한 비용 및 시간을 크게 절감할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

In case of a low speed gearing in the automatic transmission, since the torque is increased, it is difficult to secure a good feeling on gear shift of transmission. It is possible to improve the shift feeling on transmission by applying a one-way clutch in case of the gear shift from the first stage to the second stage. But in case of the gear shift from the second stage to the third stage, it is difficult to secure a good feeling on gear shift of transmission because the hydraulic components are directly controlled simultaneously. In this study, a shift performance of an automatic transmission was investigated as a basic study to solve these problems. The subjects of this study are 2-3 step upshifting gearing process and the performance data such as the pressure characteristics and torque of the transmission according to the amount of the throttle valve opening are analyzed on basis of experiment with an actual vehicle. As a result, the transient time of the shift is closely related to the amount of the throttle valve, opening and the time point at which the shifting ends is shortened when the throttle valve opening reaches 30% of the opening amount.

Recently, as the use of automatic transmissions increases, attention is focused on remanufacturing of automatic transmissions. The automatic transmission includes a clutch, a brake, a planetary gear, and a planetary gear unit, which are power transmission devices, an oil pump and a valve body which are lubricating devices, a controller which is an electronic control device, sensors and switches which input and output the controller. In particular, this study is a basic study for remanufacturing such as disassembling, assembling, and inspecting element parts for manufacturing valve body material which is a core part of automatic transmission.

The goals of automatic fire detection equipment in Japan and South Korea are the detection in early fire stage, alarm and finding the location of the fire. Japan also has similar operation system and signal transmission method compared with South Korea. The standards of fire detection equipment in Japan are established their own standards. The automatic fire detection equipment in Korea has been developed with benchmarking the Japanese system in early 1950’s and follows the decree on the basis of Japan’s fire services. NFPA 72, which is automatic fire detection equipment in U.S.A. and verified through the experiment and test, expects to reflect to our automatic fire detection equipment after modification and supplement.

In general, a valve body of the automatic transmission(AT) is controlled by the clutch, the brake and lubricating oil flow in a hydraulic system and lubricant flow for each valve can be adjusted independently. To increase the lifetime of AT, the lubrication flow rate in a valve body for a 6 speed AT based parallel hybrid electric vehicle must be provided with proper oil distribution and control. In this study, we carried out several experiments without the inner parts of AT and with a AT assembly. The variation of the flow rate on oil temperature and pressure between an oil supply port and the outlets of the lubrication port was evaluated and analyzed. In the case of AT without the inner parts, it was evident that as the oil required for an operation of the clutch and brake was discharged from the outlet port, the flow rate from each lubrication port is decreased. However, the flow rate of the AT assembly was slightly increased. In addition, the lubrication flow rate was increased with increasing the oil temperature, and also it was reduced with increasing the oil pressure. Details of the resulting data are discussed.
