摘要:
A control system for an automatic transmission includes: a clutch adapted to be applied when a forward running range is selected, to transmit the rotation of an engine to the transmission mechanism of a speed change unit and a hydraulic servo for applying/releasing the clutch. A control unit controls oil pressure fed to the hydraulic servo and includes: an application starting pressure detector for detecting application starting pressure at the instant when the application of the clutch is started; an initial application pressure setter for setting an initial application pressure on the basis of the detected application starting pressure; and an oil pressure regulator for adjusting the oil pressure fed to the hydraulic servo, when a change is made to a forward running range, and then gradually raising that oil pressure. The application starting pressure detected by the application starting pressure detector is the value at which the application of the clutch is actually started, so that the initial application pressure can be properly set even if the actual oil pressure fed to the hydraulic servo regardless of the urging force of a return spring or variation in manufacture of the hydraulic control system.

A control system for an automatic transmission in a vehicle powertrain including an engine and a fluid coupling for transmitting the rotation of an engine to the transmission, the transmission having a clutch which is applied responsive to selection of a forward running range and a hydraulic servo for applying the clutch responsive to an oil pressure. The control system includes a control unit for controlling the oil pressure to the hydraulic servo; an input torque detector for detecting the input torque to be inputted to the transmission; and a specific state detector for detecting satisfaction of a set of specific starting conditions including: (1) that the forward running range has been selected, (2) that the vehicle is stopped and (3) that the engine is in an idling state. The control unit sets the oil pressure to the hydraulic servo to correspond to the input torque at the instant of detection of satisfaction the specific starting conditions, and includes: a first pressure-reducer for abruptly reducing the oil pressure of the hydraulic servo to a set oil pressure immediately before the release of the clutch is started; and a second pressure-reducer for gradually reducing the oil pressure of the hydraulic servo, which has been reduced to the set oil pressure by the first pressure-reducer.

In a multiple speed-change operation for switching between an up-shift operation and a down-shift operation, engine torque control is adapted to an actual change in speed-change state, whereby an abrupt change in rotational speed of the input shaft is prevented. One embodiment relates to a speed-change operation from the second speed to the third speed, wherein the engagement-side hydraulic pressure B4 rises and the release-side hydraulic pressure B5 drops, the rotational speed NT of the input shaft changes from a second speed state toward a third speed state and the engine torque TE is reduced by a predetermined amount TCU. If a command to perform a speed-change operation from the third speed to the second speed is issued during the aforementioned speed-change operation from the second speed to the third speed, control of the hydraulic pressures is switched to the speed-change operation from the third speed to the second speed. If it is detected because of the hydraulic pressure control that the direction of the change &ohgr; in rotational speed of the input shaft has changed toward the second speed, it is determined that the speed-change operation has actually started. Then, the torque reduction operation is suspended, and the torque is gradually restored.

In a driven state, a hydraulic pressure of disengagement side is set at a stroke pressure, a one-way clutch in an operating state is over-run, an engine rotation speed is in an idle state, and an automatic transmission is in a neutral state. In a drive state, the hydraulic pressure of disengagement side is controlled so that a difference between an engine rotation speed and an input rotation speed reaches a difference between the both rotation speeds at a start of the shift control. In a state of a synchronized rotation after the shift, the hydraulic pressure of disengagement side is controlled so that the input rotation reaches the synchronized rotation.

If a shift to the 3rd speed is decided during the 5th-4th speed shift, in which the hydraulic servo for a second clutch is released by pressure regulation control, a changeover valve is switched by a solenoid valve so that the fluid pressure P.sub.C2 from the pressure regulating valve is conducted to a third clutch hydraulic servo. Thereby, the third clutch hydraulic servo pressure P.sub.C3 stands by at a predetermined engaging pressure P.sub.H and, at the same time, the servo-start of a fourth brake fluid pressure P.sub.B4 is performed by another pressure regulating valve. Meanwhile, the fluid pressure P.sub.C2 is released by an accumulator. After the servo-start ends and the 4th speed is established, the 4-3 speed shift control is performed, thus preventing shift shock and reducing shift duration.
摘要:
A system and method for controlling an automatic transmission in a vehicle drive train including an engine, the automatic transmission and a fluid coupling for transmitting the rotation of the engine to the transmission. The transmission includes a clutch applied when a forward running range is selected; a second one-way clutch which is applied, when the first clutch is applied, to establish a forward 1st speed; and a brake for locking the one-way clutch, when applied, to block the reverse rotation of the output shaft of the transmission. A first hydraulic servo receives a first oil pressure for applying the first clutch and a second hydraulic servo receives a second oil pressure for applying the brake. When a forward running range is selected, with the vehicle stopped, the engine idling and a foot brake engaged, the oil pressure of the first hydraulic servo is lowered from the oil pressure at the 1st speed whereas the oil pressure of the second hydraulic servo is raised to a modulated pressure. The modulated pressure is set to generate, against the reverse force on the vehicle facing up an incline, a resistance corresponding to the forward driving force generated when the engine is idling in 1st speed.

A hydraulic servo includes a cylinder, a piston and a rod. The piston divides the interior space of the cylinder between a closed hydraulic chamber and a back chamber which has an opening to the interior space of an automatic transmission. The rod is slidably mounted in the piston for relative movement through a predetermined distance. A frictional engagement element is engaged by the rod which is extended from one end of the cylinder by applying a hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic chamber. A passage is provided between the piston and the rod which is opened or closed by the relative movement between the piston and rod so that the hydraulic chamber and the back chamber are connected or disconnected. A valving arrangement (“closer”) closes the passage at the end of the return stroke of the piston toward the hydraulic chamber.

A control system for an automatic transmission includes a fluid transmission unit connected to an engine; a clutch; a hydraulic servo; output RPM detector for detecting the output RPM of the fluid transmission unit; oil pressure generator for generating the oil pressure fed to the hydraulic servo; and a control unit. The control unit includes a booster for raising the oil pressure according to preset characteristics; change rate detector for detecting the RPM change rate of the output RPM in a preset range at the application of the clutch; and a corrector for correcting the preset characteristics by comparing the detected RPM change rate and a reference RPM change rate. The change rate detector detects the RPM change rate only when the output RPM at the time of starting the engagement of the clutch is higher by a preset value than the maximum of the output RPM in the preset range.

When a vehicle is halted with the transmission in a forward drive range, an input clutch is disengaged to enhance the fuel efficiency and, at the same times a hill-hold brake is engaged to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward on a steep up-slope. At that time, the hydraulic pressure P.sub.C-1 of the input clutch C1 is gradually reduced by .DELTA.P.sub.CIR (P.sub.C-1 =P.sub.C-1 -.DELTA.P.sub.CIR) while the hydraulic pressure P.sub.B-1 of the hill-hold brake B1 is increased gradually so as to satisfy an equation P.sub.B-1 =K1+K2 X e where .DELTA.P.sub.cir is a change in hydraulic pressure which is required for gradually disengaging the first clutch C1, K1 is a hill-hold brake pressure at which braking resistance begins, K2 is hill-hold brake pressure producing a fully braked condition, and e is the input/output rotational-speed ratio of a torque converter Subsequently during start of vehicle movement, the hydraulic pressure P.sub.C-1 of the input clutch C1 is gradually increased (P.sub.C-1 =p.sub.C-1 +.DELTA.P.sub.C-1A) while the hydraulic pressure P.sub.B-1 of the hill-hold brake B1 is gradually decreased (P.sub.B-1 ==P.sub.B-1-.DELTA.P.sub.B-1) until the ratio of the rotational speed N.sub.C-1 of the first clutch C1 becomes less than a rotational speed N.sub.C-1E corresponding to the clutch being almost engaged .DELTA.P.sub.C-1A and .DELTA.P.sub.B-1 are incremental values proportional to accelerator depression so that a delay in starting is reduced in accordance with driver demand.
