Abstract:
The present invention relates to a clutch having a clutch controller for controlling an engagement state of the clutch by actuating a clutch actuator, comprising: a target torque obtaining means for obtaining torque that is supposed to be transmitted from a drive-side member of the clutch to a downstream mechanism in a torque transmission path as target transmission torque, the downstream mechanism including a driven-side member of the clutch; and a control means for actuating the clutch actuator based on the target transmission torque, wherein the target torque obtaining means is configured to estimate torque to be transmitted from the drive-side member to the downstream mechanism in the torque transmission path after the drive-side member and the driven-side member are completely engaged, and is configured to obtain the estimated torque as the target transmission torque.
Abstract:
A rotating shaft device, comprising a fixed carter (21) and driving means integral to at least one of one or more rotating shafts (8) of the rotating shaft device, each driving means having its own integrated control and power supply unit (11, 25), allows the transmission of signals, even with low intensity, to this unit and to this regard it comprises: one or more annular antennas (24), connected to said respective control and power supply unit (11, 25) and arranged so as to at least partially surround one or more of said rotating shafts (8), and integral to the rotating shaft (8) of the respective control and power supply unit (11, 25), so that said rotating shafts (8) act as wave guide for the signals received from said one or more annular antennas (24) and intended to be received by the respective control and power supply unit (11, 25) to drive said driving means associated thereto; and radio transmission means (26), integral with the carter (21) and associated to one or more of said rotating shafts (8) to send signals therethrough to said one or more annular antennas (24).
Abstract:
To provide a control apparatus for a vehicle, capable of obtaining information indicating a relationship between an instruction value to be given to an actuator in accordance with a driving condition of a vehicle and a torque capacity of a clutch. A control apparatus (10) according to the present invention includes a table holding unit (51) for holding a correction table (51b) to be applied under a condition with an output torque from the engine is increasing and a correction table (51b) to be applied under a condition with an output torque from the engine is decreasing, a gear change condition determining unit (55) for determining under which condition a gear change is executed, and a correction table update unit (59) for updating the correction table (51b) to be applied under the determined condition, based on the information indicating a relationship between a target value and an actual value of the torque capacity generated at the inertia phase.
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to reduce to a minimum the behavior of a clutch that has malfunctioned in a vehicle etc., that has a dual clutch transmission. A transmission control unit (110); controls the action of a first clutch actuator (77), a second clutch actuator (78), and a shift mechanism (701); determines whether or not the clutch torque capacity for a clutch on the engaged side has increased to a prescribed determination value during the clutch change period; and, if the clutch torque capacity for the clutch on the engaged side has increased to the determination value, changes the torque transmission path by reducing the clutch torque capacity of the clutch on the released side.
Abstract:
In a dual clutch transmission, a transmission control unit (110) operates at vehicle start in such a way that a clutch engaged is changed from the second clutch (75), which is on the high speed gear stage side, to the first clutch (74), which is on the low speed gear stage side, resulting in the torque transmission path being changed. At this time, the torque capacities of the two clutches (74, 75) change so that the thermal loads on the two clutches (74, 75) will be equal or approximately equal according to a clutch rotational speed difference that is a rotational speed difference between the driving side and the driven side in the first clutch (74), which is on the low speed gear side.
Abstract:
To prevent an engine from being increased in size in connection with the supply of oil to hydraulic clutches in an oil passage structure for the hydraulic clutches of the engine wherein a plurality of oil passages are defined axially in a rotational shaft on which the hydraulic clutches are mounted and a plurality of supply oil passages which are defined in a case cover for guiding oil from an oil supply source are connected individually to the oil passages in the rotational shaft. A cavity (135) having a closed end wall (135a) facing an end of a rotational shaft (71) and receiving the end of the rotational shaft (71) therein is defined in an inner surface of a case cover (55) such that supply oil passages (125, 126) are open at inner circumferential surfaces of the cavity (135). At least one radial joint hole (138) is defined in an end portion of the rotational shaft (71) and extends radially of the rotational shaft (71), the radial joint hole (138) having an inner end connected to another oil passage (111) in the rotational shaft (71) than a particular oil passage (112) in the rotational shaft (71). The radial joint hole (138) is connected to a corresponding supply oil passage (125) of the supply oil passages (125, 126), in the cavity (135).
