摘要:
A method for assisting the driver of a vehicle in the optimum use of the on-board energy supply, by consumption-oriented driving-power limitation, especially for electric vehicles. A permissible consumption rate related to the remaining distance is determined continuously starting from the available energy supply and this section consumption is used, taking into account the driving resistances, to determine a set point value which controls a device for driving-power limitation. In a preferred embodiment, an electronic accelerator pedal is provided, with a pedal travel divided into two angular ranges, the second angular range requiring an increased actuating force and being allocated to a power range inhibited in accordance with the set point value. The division into the two angular ranges is adjustable by means of a positioning motor as a function of the permissible section consumption.

An accelerator pedal device comprises a pedal lever having a pivot shaft which is pivotally supported by a fixed support bracket. The pedal lever is biased in such a direction that an upper part of the pedal lever approaches a fixed stopper member. A first auxiliary lever is pivotally supported by the pivot shaft and has a first upper portion located between the stopper member and the upper part of the pedal lever. A second auxiliary lever is pivotally supported by the pivot shaft and has a second upper portion located between the first upper portion and the upper part of the pedal lever. A first lost-motion mechanism is provided between the pedal lever and the second auxiliary lever, and a second lost-motion mechanism is provided between the second and first auxiliary levers. A first switch is arranged to be actuated when an intersection angle between the pedal lever and the second auxiliary lever becomes smaller than a first given angle and a second switch is arranged to be actuated when an intersection angle between the second and first auxiliary levers becomes smaller than a second given angle.

In order to improve the shifting characteristics of an electrohydraulically controlled, automatically shifting transmission particularly during cornering and braking, the driving speed (v), the lateral acceleration (aq), and the time variation of the throttle valve position are sensed in addition to the throttle valve position (alpha) and the engine rotational speed (nmot). From the time variation of the throttle valve position, a signal can be derived for the prevention of an upshifting operation since a motor vehicle driver's foot moves away faster from the accelerator pedal when approaching a bend in the road than would be the case for the normal deceleration of the motor vehicle.

In an electronically controlled automatic transmission system including a gear transmission and a clutch, in which a target gear position is determined in accordance with map data for gear-shift control, it is discriminated whether or not the vehicle is in accelerating condition and necessary control for shifting up the transmission to the target gear position is carried out only when the vehicle is not in the accelerating state. Thus, when the driver presses hard on an accelerating member to accelerate the vehicle, a series operations for shifting up is not carried out, whereby the transmission is kept in its present gear position. The operation for shifting up can be carried out after the completion of the acceleration of the vehicle.
摘要:
A throttle position sensor is provided for detecting opening degree of the throttle valve at regular intervals to produce an opening degree signal dependent on the detected opening degree. A memory has a stored opening degree signal. A detected opening degree signal detected by the sensor is compared with an opening degree signal stored in the memory. The stored opening degree signal is rewritten with the detected opening degree signal when the latter is larger than the former. Thus, a signal representing a maximum opening degree is stored in the memory.

An electric shift apparatus for use with a motor vehicle having an automatic transmission. The apparatus includes a power module adapted to be mounted on the housing of the transmission proximate the transmission mode select lever and the transmission kick-down lever and a control module adapted to be mounted in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The power module includes an electric motor assembly drivingly connected to the free end of the mode select lever and a solenoid drivingly connected to the free end of the kick-down lever. The control module includes a plurality of push button members corresponding respectively to the transmission shift positions. An encoder device carried by the motor assembly of the power module provides a constant coded signal indicating the instantaneous position of the transmission mode select lever and this coded signal is compared by comparator means in the logic of the control unit with the selected shift position. The comparator means generates a signal to the motor assembly to move the mode select lever in a direction to achieve the selected shift position and stops the motor assembly when the encoder signal received from the power module matches the selected shift position indicating that the selected shift position has been achieved.

A vehicle automatic transmission including a torque converter, a multiple stage transmission gear mechanism connected with the torque converter and a hydraulic control circuit for automatically selecting one of gear stages of the transmission gear mechanism. The hydraulic control circuit includes a kick-down control device which functions to shift down the gear mechanism when the engine control foot pedal is substantially fully depressed. Depending on the vehicle running condition, the kick-down control device may shift down the gear mechanism by two gear stages. The hydraulic circuit includes control hydraulic circuit which functions to shift down the gear mechanism at first by one gear stage and then by a further one stage. For the purpose, relay valves are provided in kick-down control lines to lower stage shift valves.

摘要:
A fluid pressure control device for an automatic transmission of an automotive vehicle, wherein throttle pressure and governor pressure control valves produce a throttle pressure and a governor pressure from a line pressure, while several shift valves produce selectively, according to the balance of the throttle pressure and the governor pressure, pressures for actuating several friction engaging devices which provide several speed stages of the transmission. However, the shift valve which controls switching between the highest and the next to the highest speed stages is electrically controlled in its kick down throttle opening and high speed region, so that in this region the upshift and the downshift lines are both largely biased to the higher vehicle speed, depending upon a throttle opening sensor, a vehicle speed sensor, and an electrical computing device.
摘要:
An electro-mechanical automatic transmission system for use in motor vehicles. The automatic transmission comprises a mechanical transmission, gear synchronizer and clutch which have been automated by the addition of electro-mechanical and pneumatic operators and an analog and digital electronic control system. The electronic control system receives operator commands regarding the mode of transmission operation (either automatic or manual) and monitors throttle position, engine speed, transmission countershaft speed, drive shaft (vehicle) speed, and rates of change of these speeds. It also receives information of the present gear ratio and stores data indicating the direction of the last shift. By utilizing this information, the electronic control system selects the optimum transmission gear ratio, effects synchronization of the selected transmission gear elements and controls clutch engagement according to a logic program.
