摘要:
Apparatus for controlling a drive source brake force to be applied to a hybrid drive vehicle including an engine, an electric motor, and a transmission, the apparatus including a manually operated member for selecting one of different degrees of application of a drive source brake to the vehicle, an electric generator driven by a kinetic energy of the vehicle to generate an electric energy and apply as the drive source brake a regenerative brake force corresponding to the generated electric energy to the vehicle, and an electricity generation control device for controlling the electric energy generated by the electric generator, depending upon the selected degree of the drive source brake application. The apparatus may include a shift control device for changing the speed ratio of the transmission so that an engine brake force produced by the engine as the drive source brake is controlled depending upon the selected degree of the drive source brake application. The regenerative brake or engine brake is selectively applied depending upon the electric energy amount stored in an electric energy storage device.

A hybrid vehicle having a function for reducing the pumping loss. When the shift is in the reverse position, when an appliance is to be driven while the vehicle is in its stopped state and when the electric motor alone is able to drive the vehicle, the fuel supply to the internal combustion engine is cut off and one of the following is performed: the engine's throttle is widely opened; the engine is decompressing by opening the intake and exhaust valves; or the engine is decompressed by closing the intake valve while opening the exhaust valve. In such a manner, the pumping loss in the internal combustion engine can be reduced. Thus, the drag on the electric motor which would ordinarily be caused by stopping the internal combustion engine can be prevented without the provision of a one-way clutch or other equipment between the internal combustion engine and the electric motor.

A drive control apparatus for an automotive vehicle having an electric motor operated by an electric energy generated by an electric generator and stored in an energy storage device, and an engine operated by combustion of a fuel, the apparatus having an electricity generating drive mode in which the vehicle is driven by the engine while the electric generator is operated by the engine to charge the electric energy storage device, wherein a changing control device is operable in the electricity generating drive mode, for controlling the engine to operate in a substantially steady state so as to provide a steady state output, and controlling electric power to be generated by the electric generator such that the electric power corresponds to surplus power of the engine which is equal to a difference between the steady state output of the engine and required vehicle drive power which is currently required to drive the vehicle and which is smaller than the steady state output.

A hybrid vehicle has a clutch between the engine and the rotational electrodynamic unit. A driving energy transmission mechanism is provided between the clutch and the rotational electrodynamic unit for transmitting driving energy to an appliance such as an alternator. When driving the engine, the clutch is closed by a clutch controlling unit, and the engine makes the rotational electrodynamic unit function as a generator to operate the appliances. When the engine is stopped, the clutch is opened by the clutch controlling means, and the rotational electrodynamic unit is caused to operate as a motor to operate the appliances. In the system where the appliances are driven by the engine, the appliances are kept being operated even after the engine stops. This structure is applicable to both a series hybrid vehicle and a parallel hybrid vehicle.

A shift control system for an automatic transmission, includes: a plurality of frictional engagement elements adapted to be hydraulically engaged for setting a plurality of gear stages; and a shift lever for switching between an automatic mode, in which a gear stage is set on the basis of the running state of a vehicle, and a manual mode in which a gear stage is selected by manipulating the shift lever. A shift detector detects that a gear stage should be selected for the shift in the manual mode state and a shift start timing adjuster, if the shift in the manual mode state is detected, the switching rate of the frictional engagement elements which are switched for executing the detected shift.

A method is provided for the control of servo hydraulic pressure in an automatic transmission. Servo hydraulic pressure is adapted to engage or release first and second frictional engagement elements arranged in such a relationship that, upon shifting from one particular speed stage to another, one of the first and second frictional engagement elements is released while the other is engaged. The servo hydraulic pressure, engaging one frictional engagement element, is linearly lowered in a torque phase during a shift so it releases the one frictional engagement element, responsive to a rise in the servo hydraulic pressure to the frictional engagement element to be engaged, to maintain an inversely proportional relationship between the servo hydraulic pressure being raised and that being released.

A rotary element engaging device of an automatic transmission includes a stationary member, a planetary gear set having rotary elements, a frictionally engaging element interposed between the stationary member and one of the rotary elements, a one-way clutch interposed between the stationary member and the one rotary element, and an operating member for engaging and disengaging the frictionally engaging element. The rotary element is adapted to be selectively engaged with the stationary member through two paths formed of the frictionally engaging element and the one-way clutch. The one-way clutch is disposed between the frictionally engaging element and the operating member. The one-way clutch includes an inner race connected to the one rotary element and an outer race fixed to the stationary member. The operating member is adapted to act on the frictionally engaging element through the outer race.

A supplying port connecting to a supplying-side hydraulic pressure is arranged in a lock-up control valve. When the lock-up relay valve is switched ON (right half position), a supplying hyraulic pressure is supplied to a second oil chamber through an oil passage, led to a first oil chamber through an orifice and drained to a draining hydraulic oil passage through the oil passage. At this state in the lock-up control valve an inner pressure of the first oil chamber operates on a chamber through the oil passage, while an inner pressure of the second oil chamber operates on a chamber through the oil passage, and a controlling pressure from a linear solenoid valve operates on the controlling chamber. When the controlling pressure from the controlling chamber decreases by a deceleration of a vehicle speed, a valve closes a draining oil port and a drain port and increases an inner pressure of the first oil chamber. At this state when the hydraulic pressure of the second oil chamber increases by the contraction of the outer configuration of a torque convertor by a decrease of the centrifugal force, the draining oil port is connected to the supplying port and the hydraulic pressure is supplied to the first oil chamber to increase the hydraulic pressure of the chamber.

A selecting valve is provided, which is switched by different signals sent out when the vehicle is stopped or when the vehicle is to start to move. The selecting valve is connected to a hydraulic servo unit for a forward clutch which is engaged to transmit torque when the vehicle is to move forward, and is supplied with line pressure and a control pressure provided by an electronically operated regulating valve, such as an electronically controlled throttle valve. The regulated control pressure from the electronically operated regulating valve is supplied to the hydraulic servo unit for the forward clutch when the vehicle is stopped, while line pressure is supplied when the vehicle is to move, thus preventing creeping and shift shock at starts. Since the selecting valve is provided with a port leading to the hydraulic servo unit for a brake which restricts vehicle movement, the brake can be applied when the vehicle is stopped and released when moved, thus providing hill-holding capability.
