Abstract:
A hydraulic control system for a continuously variable transmission (CVT) includes a pressure regulator subsystem, a selection valve in downstream fluid communication with the pressure regulator subsystem, the selection valve configured to control a flow of pressurized oil from the pressure regulator subsystem to a primary pulley circuit and a secondary pulley circuit, the primary pulley circuit in fluid communication with a primary pulley and the secondary pulley circuit in communication with a secondary pulley, and a ratio control pump disposed in fluid communication between the primary pulley circuit and the secondary pulley circuit, wherein rotation of the ratio control pump in a first direction pumps pressurized oil from the secondary pulley circuit to the primary pulley circuit and rotation of the control pump in a second direction pumps pressurized oil from the primary pulley circuit to the secondary pulley circuit to change a ratio of the CVT.
