    摘要: Provided is a gear change control device of automatic transmission for vehicles. The gear change control device of automatic transmission includes a gear change control part which performs upshift gear change control and downshift gear change control of an automatic transmission according to a shift map. When an operation of a brake operation element is detected and full closure of an accelerator is detected, the gear change control part calculates, based on a change amount of a vehicle speed and a pressure of a brake master cylinder, a determination counter value for determining whether or not to execute the downshift of the automatic transmission, and when the determination counter value is equal to or greater than a threshold value (first threshold value), the gear change control part performs the downshift of the automatic transmission.

    摘要: A control apparatus of an automatic transmission including a plurality of planetary gear mechanisms and engaging mechanisms configured to establish a gear range by switching inputs/outputs of the plurality of planetary gear mechanisms, comprises an oil pressure supply device which supplies an oil pressure to operate the engaging mechanisms between an engaging state and a release state in which the engaging state is canceled; and a gear change controller which controls an operation state of each of the engaging mechanisms of the planetary gear mechanisms to establish one gear range of a plurality of gear ranges. The gear change controller executes gear change control of restricting the gear change to the gear range in a case in which the temperature of each of the engaging mechanisms in the gear range after the gear change is predicted to be not less than an allowable temperature.

    摘要: An automatic transmission includes hydraulic friction engaging mechanisms for establishing a plurality of gears, at least one control valve for controlling oil pressures of hydraulic oils supplied to the engaging mechanisms, an oil pressure detection unit for detecting the oil pressure of the hydraulic oil supplied by the control valve, a learning unit for learning a correction value of an instructed oil pressure to the control valve such that an engaging time becomes a target engaging time, and a determination unit which determines, based on a difference between the instructed oil pressure to the valve and an oil pressure detection result obtained by the detection unit from the hydraulic oil supplied by the valve in correspondence with the instructed oil pressure, whether to exclude a control result by the instructed oil pressure from a learning target of the learning unit.
