摘要:
A locking arrangement between an ignition lock and the selector lever of an automatic motor vehicle transmission has a locking slide arranged on the selector-lever side which, via a control ramp, displaces a locking bolt into a position blocking locking pin. This blocking position can only be achieved when the selector lever with the inoperative button is in the parking position and an ignition key has been rotated into an inoperative position. When the ignition key is pulled out, the selector lever cannot move out of the parking position, thereby preventing an accidental engaging, for example, in a neutral position.

A shift control system for an automatic transmission including a first transmission assembly for changing gear ratios in accordance with the release or engagement of a first frictional engagement system and a second transmission assembly connected in series to the first transmission assembly for changing gear ratios in accordance with the engagement or release of a second frictional engagement system. It includes a decision system for deciding whether or not the automatic transmission should execute the gear changes and a time lag controller for making the time lag for the second frictional engagement system to be engaged shorter than the time lag for the second frictional engagement system to be engaged for another gear change when the automatic transmission is to execute the gear changes.

An engine brake control system generally engages an overrun clutch in overall throttle valve open angle range at operational ranges for effecting engine brake. The control system is responsive to variation of selected operational range from a high transmission speed ratio range for automatic speed ratio selection to the engine braking range for establishing engagement of the overrun clutch with a predetermined lag time. The predetermined lag time is adjusted depending upon the vehicle driving condition.

The present invention relates to a brake actuated shift control for mobile self propelled machines to reduce premature brake wear leading to brake failure caused when a brake is engaged and, during brake engagement, a transmission coupled to the machine transmits power to a coupled drive wheel engaging a surface. The transmission has a plurality of selectable ranges corresponding inversely to a plurality of transmission output torques. A shift actuation control is coupled to the transmission to cause the transmission to shift to a higher range when the brake is applied with the transmission in a low range, so as to reduce the transmission output torque.

In a downshifting of an automatic transmission with an engine being generally maintained in a substantial power generating condition in a vehicle, the output torque of the engine is decreased by an amount prior to a substantial establishment of a torque transmitting route in the automatic transmission for a shifted down speed stage, and then the output torque of the automatic transmission is repetitively monitored at a certain small scanning cycle after the start of establishing the torque transmitting route in the automatic transmission for the shifted down speed stage, while the monitored output torque of the automatic transmission is repetitively compared with a target value determined therefor at the scanning cycle, thereby progressively recovering the output torque of the engine at the scanning cycle by an amount corresponding to the repetitive comparison of the monitored output torque of the automatic transmission with the target value determined therefor so as to cancel a difference in each comparison.
摘要:
An engine braking control system for automotive automatic transmissions, comprises shift solenoids activated for executing a down-shift operation by selectively engaging or releasing frictional elements of a gear train, in response to engine braking requirements, sensors for monitoring a vehicle speed, an opening angle of a throttle valve, a depression amount of a brake-pedal, and a controller for controlling the down-shift operation on the basis of the signals from the sensors. The controller activates the shift solenoids for executing the down-shift operation only when the throttle opening angle is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold throttle opening angle, the brake-pedal depression amount exceeds a predetermined threshold depression amount and the vehicle speed is less than a predetermined threshold vehicle speed. The controller deactivates the shift solenoids when the throttle opening angle is equal to or less than the predetermined threshold throttle opening angle and the brake-pedal depression speed, derived on the basis of the signal representative of the brake-pedal depression amounts, exceeds a predetermined threshold depression speed.

摘要:
A brake/shift interlock for, e.g., a vehicle having a shift mechanism (10) for an automatic transmission. The shift mechanism includes a shift lever (12) and a detent mechanism (24) having a latch (26) and latch plate (28) with a detent notch at the "Park" position. A Park/Lock member (34) is actuable to lock the latch in the Park position (FIGS. 1 and 6). In addition to an ignition lock mechanism (38) for actuating the Park/Lock member based on the status of the ignition switch (36A; FIG. 8), a brake/shift interlock is also provided for actuating the Park/Lock member when the ignition switch is in "Run" position (FIG. 2), except for being released during actuation of a brake switch (82). A solenoid (160; FIGS. 4 and 5), when energized, applies a tensioning force to the Park/Lock member via a cable (44) actuating the P/L member. The solenoid includes a plunger (162) having an centrally located, axial opening (171) through it, through which the cable extends. The plunger opening is stepped, providing a seat (170) into which a laterally extended, mushroom-shaped button (173) affixed to the cable is seated, with the cable and plunger thereby being interfaced for movement in unison. The solenoid can be completely assembled in manufacture before being interfaced in engagement with the button staked to the cable. The brake/shift interlock may be mechanically in series (FIGS. 1-3) or in parallel (FIGS. 6 and 7) with the ignition lock mechanism. In the series arrangement, the cable of the ignition lock mechanism extends axially completely through the solenoid. (Exemplary power circuitry is illustrated in FIG. 8.)
摘要:
In a method for automatically controlling a vehicle transmission system having a gear-type transmission and a clutch, in the case where the system is controlled in a control mode wherein the clutch is disengaged so as to prevent idle running of the vehicle when the amount of operation of the acceleration pedal becomes less than a prescribed level, when the clutch is engaged in response to an increase in the running speed of the vehicle, the control mode is changed to another control mode in which the engaged state of the clutch is maintained even if the amount of operation of the accelerator pedal becomes zero. Thus, in case of, for example, a vehicle drive-off mode for snow-covered road condition, it becomes possible to realize smooth vehicle running at low speed without need to depress the accelerator pedal.
