摘要:
A torque converter having an engine-driven pump impeller fastened to an input shell and a fluid-driven turbine runner mounted on an output shaft is equipped with a fluid-operated lockup clutch for providing a direct mechanical drive between the input shell and the output shell. The lockup clutch is maintained in a slipping engagement condition in an intermediate speed range. This slipping engagement is controlled by a variable fluid passage whose opening size is determined by an axial position of the turbine runner relative to the output shaft. The turbine runner is rotatable and axially movable relative to the output shaft. The turbine runner and the output shaft have, respectively, flanges which rotates side by side. There are formed, between the flanges, a plurality of pockets which are circumferentially arranged. Each pocket has contoured surfaces, and confines a ball. Each set of the ball and pocket is so formed as to control the opening size of the variable fluid passage by causing the turbine runner to move axially when the turbine runner rotate relative to the output shaft.

In apparatus and method for controlling a gear shift of a vehicular automatic transmission, the automatic transmission the automatic transmission having a releasing frictional element, a clutching frictional element, and a source of a releasing working liquid pressure to be applied to the releasing frictional element and a clutching working liquid pressure to be applied to the clutching frictional element, a gear shift in the automatic transmission being carried out by a shift from the releasing frictional element to the clutching frictional element, during a time duration from a time at which a gear shift instruction is outputted to a time at which a torque phase is started, the releasing working liquid pressure is reduced and reached without undershooting to a first predetermined working liquid pressure value under which the releasing frictional element is in a state immediately before an occurrence of a slip and the clutching working liquid pressure is set at least a second predetermined working liquid pressure value under which the clutching element is in a state immediately before a clutching.

A fuel cut-off control can prolong a period of time in which the engine speed is maintained at a range suitable for performing fuel cut-off and shorten a period of time in which the engine speed is in a fuel recovery range to minimize fuel consumption during engine deceleration. In a fuel cut-off control system in a fuel injection internal combustion engine with an automatic transmission, the fuel cut-off control system is responsive to a brake switch signal and an engine speed signal having a value above a fuel recovery threshold to decrease the value of a fuel cut-off threshold to again perform the fuel cut-off even in the normal fuel recovery range. Down shifting of a transmission gear is performed to increase engine speed to a level beyond the fuel cut-off threshold to prolong the fuel cut-off period.

In gear-shift control performed during normal travelling, a drive frequency of each solenoid valve is set to a higher one to suppress fluctuations or changes of a quantity or speed of a flow of a hydraulic oil concerned when the solenoid current is turned on/off to suppress fluctuations of the output hydraulic pressure. In start selection, the drive frequency of the solenoid valve is set to a lower one to reduce the number of times a plunger and a ball hit each other within the solenoid valve to reduce a sound produced by the operation of the solenoid.

During a shifting operation that a first engaging element is changed from an engaged state to a disengaged state, a fail-safe valve is used to forcibly drain a first engaging-element pressure from the first engaging element by using a second engaging-element pressure applied to a second engaging element brought into an engaging state from a releasing state. The fail-safe valve includes a spool and uses the second engaging-element pressure acting on the spool in one axial direction and an opposing pressure acting on the spool in the opposing direction as operating signal pressures. The fail-safe valve is switchable to a drain position, when the second engaging-element pressure is regulated toward a specified fail-safe valve operating point pressure higher than a maximum pressure value of the second engaging-element pressure regulated during the shifting operation and lower than a maximum possible engaging-element pressure.

A sealless accumulator 14, which intervenes between a solenoid valve 4 and a spool valve 5 for absorbing vibrations of a hydraulic oil concerned, is disposed in an upper half of a valve body above an oil path 18 formed in the upper half of the valve body 16. Air discharge path 24 is provided on an opposite side of an accumulator 14 from its oil chamber in which the oil pressure is applied to the piston 22 such that when the oil pressure is applied to the oil path 18, the piston 22 is moved, the hydraulic oil is discharged through the air discharge path 24 to the outside, possible air present up within the oil path 18 flows into the accumulator 14, and then is discharged through the air discharge path 24 to the outside.

An anti-creep control apparatus of an automatic transmission has a forward clutch control section which controls the hydraulic pressure of a forward clutch by slipping the forward clutch when the automatic transmission is set in a drive range and the vehicle is stopped while an engine is operating. The anti-creep control apparatus controls an hydraulic pressure of the forward clutch to be held or increased by a predetermined value when a relative rotation of the forward clutch is detected during the anti-creep control. The controlled hydraulic pressure is set as a lower limit value of the forward clutch hydraulic pressure in a present anti-creep control.

An automatic transmission with an anti-creep control apparatus includes a torque converter connected to the engine, first and second friction elements, and a control unit. The first friction element is operated when the automatic transmission is put in a drive range. The second friction element performs to prevent a reverse rotation of an output shaft of the automatic transmission. The control unit executes an anti-creep control controls, controlling the second friction element to prevent a reverse rotation of an output shaft of the automatic transmission when the anti-creep control is executed, holds the engagement of the second friction element during a time period from the time when the anti-creep control is cancelled to the time when the first friction element is fully engaged, and disengages the second friction element thereafter.

A torsional damper comprises damper elements which are resiliently coupled by a spring arrangement and a friction generating device. One of the damper elements has a radially extending wall. The friction generating device includes a plurality of friction blocks received by the other damper element with play in the circumferential direction, and a spring arranged to bias the plurality of friction blocks against the radially extending wall. In order to absorb the shock of engagement of each of the plurality of friction blocks with the other damper element, a cushion is provided.

A clutch slip control device for a lock-up torque converter has a clutch slip control valve and an operating range detecting valve which are operative to control a lock-up control pressure in a lock-up control chamber based upon a torque pressure representative of a torque transmitted by a turbine runner and upon a governor pressure and a throttle pressure representative of a vehicle speed and an engine load.
