Methods and systems for providing uniform driveline braking
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for controlling driveline braking, comprising:
- providing driveline braking via an electric machine while rotation of an engine is stopped; and
adjusting a torque of the electric machine while the engine is stopped in response to a condition of the engine, where the torque of the electric machine is varied as the condition of the engine varies.

Abstract
Systems and methods for improving operation of a hybrid vehicle are presented. In one example, negative torque of an electric machine is adjusted to mimic negative torque of an engine during engine braking so that the vehicle may transition from regenerative braking to engine braking in a seamless manner.

7. A method for controlling driveline braking, comprising:
-
providing driveline braking via an electric machine while rotation of an engine is stopped; and adjusting a torque of the electric machine based on a braking torque of the engine, the torque of the electric machine adjusted while rotation of the engine is stopped, the braking torque of the engine estimated based on a speed of the electric machine. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A vehicle system, comprising:
-
an engine; a dual mass flywheel (DMF) including a first side mechanically coupled to the engine; a driveline disconnect clutch mechanically including a first side coupled to a second side of the dual mass flywheel; a driveline integrated starter/generator (DISG) including a first side coupled to a second side of the driveline disconnect clutch; a starter other than the DISG including a base state where the starter is not engaged to the engine; a transmission selectively coupled to the engine via the driveline disconnect clutch; and a controller including non-transitory instructions executable to automatically stop the engine, provide driveline braking via the DISG while engine rotation is stopped, and adjust a torque of the DISG while the engine is stopped to an engine brake torque occurring when the engine is rotated without being fueled. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
