摘要:
A vehicular drive system includes a standby control apparatus which controls a switch to standby control based on a switching line graph that has a standby region that places a differential state switching device in a state just before it starts to apply. This standby region is located between a differential region and a locked region on the switching line graph. Accordingly, when the differential state switching device enters the standby region from the differential region, it is placed in a state just before it starts to apply. As a result, the differential state switching device is quickly able to have the necessary torque capacity when the engine torque is increased, which suppresses a decrease in the durability of the differential state switching device.

A control device is provided for a vehicle drive apparatus, which includes a differential mechanism distributing an output of an engine to a first electric motor and an output shaft, and an electric motor provided on the output shaft, for miniaturizing the drive apparatus and/or providing improved fuel economy while preventing switching shocks from occurring in starting or stopping the engine. A switching clutch C0 or switching brake B0 is provided for placing a shifting mechanism 10 in a continuously variable shifting state and a step-variable shifting state, enabling the vehicle drive apparatus to have combined advantages including a fuel economy improving effect of a transmission, enabled to electrically change a speed ratio, and a high transmitting efficiency of a gear type transmitting device enabled to mechanically transmit drive power. During the occurrence of overlapping phases between operation of switching control mean 50 for switching a shifting state and operation of engine starting and stopping control means 90 for starting or stopping the engine, execution control means 82 enables the operations to be sequentially executed so as to avoid overlapping executions, thereby suppressing the switching shocks.

A vehicle power transmission system includes: an electric differential unit that includes a differential mechanism, having an input shaft and an output shaft, and an electric motor and that allows controlling a differential state between the rotational speed of the input shaft coupled to an engine and the rotational speed of the output shaft by controlling an operating state of the electric motor coupled to a rotating element of the differential mechanism; a transmission unit that is arranged in a power transmission path between the electric differential unit and a drive wheel; and a controller that, when the transmission unit is shifting speeds, prelimits an upper limit of the rotational speed of the engine when the rotational speed of the engine increases because of torque reduction control by the electric motor. With the above control, the rotational speed of the engine is prevented from reaching a high rotational speed region.

The control system includes: a failure detecting mechanism for detecting a failure to set any of predetermined speed change ratios; and a speed change commanding mechanism for outputting a speed change command to set a speed change ratio larger than the current speed change ratio in accordance with a signal outputted when the failure detecting mechanism detects the failure.
摘要:
A vehicular drive system switchable between a continuously-variable and step-variable shifting states, and a control device for controlling the vehicular drive system so as to reduce a shifting shock of an automatic transmission included in the drive system, which takes place due to an overlap control involving a switching control of the drive system and a shifting control of the automatic transmission.Execution-timing control means 82 is provided to command switching control means 50 and step-variable shifting control means 54 to sequentially execute a switching control by the switching control means to switch transmission mechanism 10 between an electrically established continuously-variable shifting state and a step-variable shifting state, and a shifting control by the step-variable shifting control means to shift an automatic transmission portion 20, even when an overlap control involving the switching control and the shifting control is required, whereby the switching and shifting controls can be rapidly completed. Since the transmission mechanism 10 is not switched during the shifting control of the automatic transmission portion 20, the input speed of the automatic transmission portion 20 will not change due to the switching control, apart from a change of the input speed as a result of the shifting control, making it possible to prevent the complicated shifting control and reduce the consequent shifting shock.

There is provided a control device for a vehicular power transmitting apparatus of equipped with a differential portion is provided for suppressing a durability decrease of the differential portion or component parts related thereto upon preventing a rotary element of the differential portion from reaching a high-speed rotation. Rotation-stop determining means 72 makes a query as to whether the first rotary element RE1 is lowered in a rotation speed to be stopped during an engine drive mode. If the answer is YES and differential-portion rotation speed determining means 74 makes a positive determination, then engaging-element control-executing means 78 executes engaging element control. This allows a third rotary element RE3 of the differential portion 11, connected to drive wheels 38 via an engaging element of an automatic shifting portion 20, to approach a state available to freewheel. This prevents a second rotary element RE2 and a first electric motor M1 from reaching high-speed rotations caused by a decrease in rotation speed of the first rotary element RE1 in a stop direction and a differential action of the differential portion 11. This enables the prevention of a durability decrease of a power distributing mechanism 16 and the first electric motor M1.
