A control system for an automatic transmission in a vehicle powertrain including an engine and a fluid coupling for transmitting the rotation of an engine to the transmission, the transmission having a clutch which is applied responsive to selection of a forward running range and a hydraulic servo for applying the clutch responsive to an oil pressure. The control system includes a control unit for controlling the oil pressure to the hydraulic servo; an input torque detector for detecting the input torque to be inputted to the transmission; and a specific state detector for detecting satisfaction of a set of specific starting conditions including: (1) that the forward running range has been selected, (2) that the vehicle is stopped and (3) that the engine is in an idling state. The control unit sets the oil pressure to the hydraulic servo to correspond to the input torque at the instant of detection of satisfaction the specific starting conditions, and includes: a first pressure-reducer for abruptly reducing the oil pressure of the hydraulic servo to a set oil pressure immediately before the release of the clutch is started; and a second pressure-reducer for gradually reducing the oil pressure of the hydraulic servo, which has been reduced to the set oil pressure by the first pressure-reducer.
摘要:
A system and method for controlling an automatic transmission in a vehicle drive train including an engine, the automatic transmission and a fluid coupling for transmitting the rotation of the engine to the transmission. The transmission includes a clutch applied when a forward running range is selected; a second one-way clutch which is applied, when the first clutch is applied, to establish a forward 1st speed; and a brake for locking the one-way clutch, when applied, to block the reverse rotation of the output shaft of the transmission. A first hydraulic servo receives a first oil pressure for applying the first clutch and a second hydraulic servo receives a second oil pressure for applying the brake. When a forward running range is selected, with the vehicle stopped, the engine idling and a foot brake engaged, the oil pressure of the first hydraulic servo is lowered from the oil pressure at the 1st speed whereas the oil pressure of the second hydraulic servo is raised to a modulated pressure. The modulated pressure is set to generate, against the reverse force on the vehicle facing up an incline, a resistance corresponding to the forward driving force generated when the engine is idling in 1st speed.

A control system for an automatic transmission includes: an input clutch applied, responsive to selection of a forward running range, to transmit the rotation of an engine to a transmission mechanism; a hydraulic servo for selectively applying/releasing the input clutch; a stop state detector for detecting a stop state of a vehicle in terms of the selection of the forward running range, lack of vehicle speed, the release of an accelerator pedal and the depression of a brake pedal; starting operation detector for detecting an operation to start the vehicle in motion; application state detector for detecting the application state of the input clutch; and a controller for controlling oil pressure fed to the hydraulic servo on the basis of signals coming from the various detectors. If arrival at a predetermined released state is decided, the hydraulic servo is fed with a summed oil pressure which is the total of an initial application oil pressure and a release oil pressure, to initiate piston movement and start of engagement of the input clutch, and the oil pressure is thereafter gradually raised from the summed pressure on the basis of a predetermined pressure relationship. If a failure to arrive at the predetermined released state is decided, the oil pressure is gradually raised on the basis of the predetermined pressure relationship from the oil pressure which is fed to the hydraulic servo when a starting operation is detected.

An transmission control unit includes a sensor for detecting a vehicle condition, a traffic condition monitor for determining whether or not traffic is heavy, a transmission pattern selector, and a transmission controller. The traffic condition monitor adds or subtracts a predetermined value in response to vehicle speed detected at set intervals of time so as to provide a vehicle speed value. The heavier the traffic, the larger the additional value. Also, the lighter the traffic, the larger the subtractive value. The vehicle traffic value is used in order to determine how heavy the traffic is.

A control system for an automatic transmission operates a clutch for disengaging a transmission mechanism when a vehicle is stopped and idling with the brake pedal depressed while the gear shift is in a forward gear. The clutch is maintained at a drag state (friction elements disengaged but oil causing some torque transmission) bordering a slip state (friction elements engaged) When a neutral control is started, the clutch is released until the retraction of the piston of the hydraulic servo is started. When the rate of change in a rotational difference does not exceeds a reference rate of change even after a set time has elapsed, booster means of specific release state holding means decides that the clutch is in a drag region, and raises an oil pressure to be fed to the hydraulic servo, by a set pressure. On the other hand, when the rate of change exceeds the reference rate and the rotational difference increases, irrespective of the lapse of a set time, the first pressure reducing means of the specific release state holding means decides that the clutch is in a slip region, and lowers the oil pressure to be fed to the hydraulic servo, by a set pressure. As a result, the clutch is always held in a state which is immediately before the transfer from the drag region to the slip region.

A hydraulic pressure control apparatus for an automatic transmission including a microprocessor-based control unit for controlling hydraulic pressure supplied to hydraulic servos of friction engagement elements. The control apparatus calculates a target hydraulic pressure P.sub.TA for a condition at the start of the inertia phase in accordance with the input torque, and a gradient based on the target hydraulic pressure and a predetermined time t.sub.TA. A first up-sweep of hydraulic pressure is performed by the apparatus with the gradient. A relatively gradual gradient .delta.P.sub.TA is set based on a target rotation change rate for the input rotational speed to provide a predetermined change amount when the hydraulic pressure becomes the target hydraulic pressure P.sub.TA. The control apparatus performs a second up-sweep with the gradient .delta.P.sub.TA. When the rotational speed change .DELTA.N of the input rotation becomes a rotation change start-determining rotational speed dN.sub.S, the control apparatus feedback-controls the hydraulic pressure with a predetermined gradient while referring to the input rotation change. Further, the control apparatus detects the target shift start time and the rotational speed change rate at the target shift start time to correct the target hydraulic pressure P.sub.TA, the gradient .delta.P.sub.TA of the second sweep section, and the target shift start time t.sub.aim.

A control system for control of a clutch interposed between a fluid transmission unit and a speed change unit in a vehicular automatic transmission. The control system includes a first R.P.M. detector for detecting clutch input side R.P.M. and a second R.P.M. detector for detecting clutch output side R.P.M. A stop state detector determines if the vehicle is at a standstill and a starting operation detector detects a starting operation by the driver. The hydraulic control unit includes a hydraulic servo for applying/releasing the input clutch, a control signal oil pressure generating solenoid valve for generating a control signal oil pressure, a control valve for regulating a forward running range pressure according to the control signal oil pressure to generate a control oil pressure; a change signal oil pressure generating solenoid valve for generating a change signal oil pressure and a change-over valve switchable by the change signal oil pressure, between a first position in which it feeds the forward running range pressure to the hydraulic servo, and a second position in which it feeds the control oil pressure to the hydraulic servo. A failure is decided if the clutch input/output R.P.M. difference is over a set value which is set on the basis of the clutch input/output R.P.M. difference when the starting operation is detected by the starting operation detector. A fail-safe feature causes a shift output to a higher speed gear stage, over-riding a control signal from the pressure booster, when a failure is decided, to output the change signal to the solenoid of the control signal oil pressure solenoid valve to thereby bring the change-over valve into the first position.

When a vehicle is halted with the transmission in a forward drive range, an input clutch is disengaged to enhance the fuel efficiency and, at the same times a hill-hold brake is engaged to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward on a steep up-slope. At that time, the hydraulic pressure P.sub.C-1 of the input clutch C1 is gradually reduced by .DELTA.P.sub.CIR (P.sub.C-1 =P.sub.C-1 -.DELTA.P.sub.CIR) while the hydraulic pressure P.sub.B-1 of the hill-hold brake B1 is increased gradually so as to satisfy an equation P.sub.B-1 =K1+K2 X e where .DELTA.P.sub.cir is a change in hydraulic pressure which is required for gradually disengaging the first clutch C1, K1 is a hill-hold brake pressure at which braking resistance begins, K2 is hill-hold brake pressure producing a fully braked condition, and e is the input/output rotational-speed ratio of a torque converter Subsequently during start of vehicle movement, the hydraulic pressure P.sub.C-1 of the input clutch C1 is gradually increased (P.sub.C-1 =p.sub.C-1 +.DELTA.P.sub.C-1A) while the hydraulic pressure P.sub.B-1 of the hill-hold brake B1 is gradually decreased (P.sub.B-1 ==P.sub.B-1-.DELTA.P.sub.B-1) until the ratio of the rotational speed N.sub.C-1 of the first clutch C1 becomes less than a rotational speed N.sub.C-1E corresponding to the clutch being almost engaged .DELTA.P.sub.C-1A and .DELTA.P.sub.B-1 are incremental values proportional to accelerator depression so that a delay in starting is reduced in accordance with driver demand.
摘要:
A control system for an automatic transmission operates a clutch in a speed change unit to disconnect a transmission mechanism from a fluid transmission unit during a neutral operating state while the vehicle in a forward gear is held stopped by braking with the throttle fully closed. Reengagement of the clutch such as by depression of accelerator pedal (throttle open), release of the brake pedal, etc., is produced by a gradual increase in oil pressure to the servo operating the clutch to prevent clutch application shock. Wear on the clutch is reduced by abrupt increase of the oil pressure in response to satisfaction of a clutch engagement completion condition based upon input RPM, output RPM and the gear ratio of the target gear. In one embodiment, this abrupt increase occurs immediately after satisfaction of the clutch engagement completion condition when the throttle is open but occurs after elapse of a set time period from satisfaction of the clutch engagement completion condition when the throttle is closed. In a second embodiment when the throttle is closed, an application standby condition based on the input RPM, the output RPM and the gear ratio indicating backward vehicle movement is determined after the clutch engagement completion condition is satisfied. If backward movement is indicated, the abrupt increase in oil pressure is made after a set time period, otherwise the abrupt increase occurs immediately. In a third embodiment, a second clutch engagement completion condition requirement is substituted for the delay of the set time period of the second embodiment to prevent application shock during the clutch engagement.
