摘要:
A vehicle has at least two wheels, a transmission mechanism, and a clutch which can be selectively engaged to at least partially rotationally couple together these two wheels. This anti torque shock control device includes a means for detecting whether or not shift range of the transmission mechanism is a vehicle non driving range or a vehicle driving range, and a means for controlling the clutch to be at least partially engaged, when shift range of the transmission mechanism alters from a vehicle non driving range to a vehicle driving range. Thus torque shock and power train noise at this time are effectively prevented. The method of operation of this device is also described. In various applications, the clutch may be a switchover clutch for controlling the vehicle between two wheel drive operation and four wheel drive operation, selectively coupling between front wheels of the vehicle and rear wheels of the vehicle; or may be a central differential control clutch for controlling a central differential device of the vehicle between modes of operation in which the central differential device does and does not provide central differential effect between the front wheels of the vehicle and the rear wheels of the vehicle; or may be an axle differential control clutch for controlling a front or a rear differential device of the vehicle between modes of operation in which it does and does not provide differential effect between a pair of left and right wheels of the vehicle on the same axle.

A motor vehicle drive system controller is adapted to automatic drive control, the engine and the transmission being among the objects of control. The power output of the motor is controlled so as to maintain either a consistent drivable mode or a consistent undrivable mode as the automatic transmission shifts gears while the vehicle is running under automatic drive control. The consistent drivable mode refers to a state where the output torque of the motor is greater than the sum of the average running resistance and the variation in the running resistance and the consistent undrivable mode refers to a state where the output torque of the motor is smaller than the difference of the average running resistance and the variation in the running resistance. The automatic drive control function is prohibited when the controller detects abnormality in the transmission.

An oil seal member is compressed between a connecting pipe for supplying oil to an oil chamber of a hydraulic servo and the cylinder drum of the hydraulic servo. The cylinder drum has an interior oil chamber and turns through a predetermined angle upon operation of a frictional engagement element by the hydraulic servo. The end of the seal member pressed against the cylindrical drum surrounds an oil hole 73 formed in the cylindrical drum, and oil pressure is supplied to the oil chamber through an oil passage in which the seal member is mounted and through the oil hole. A recess is formed in the outer surface of the cylindrical drum around the oil hole and the end of the seal member is received in the recess. When the cylindrical member turns within the predetermined angular range, the end of the seal member is protected by the recess. As a result, the end of the seal member is not damaged and the integrity of the seal is protected.

A shift control apparatus for an automatic transmission including a gear train having a plurality of one-way clutches having their engagement states switched in accordance with torque applying directions and a plurality of frictional engagement units adapted to be engaged by oil pressures. The apparatus comprises a controller for engaging a first one of the frictional engagement units so as to maintain a predetermined gear stage after any of the one-way clutches has been engaged or released, if a predetermined condition is satisfied after the one-way clutch has been engaged or released to start a shift to the predetermined gear stage.

A parking control mechanism to prevent generation of noise and shock when a parking range is released after a vehicle has been parked so that a driver does not feel uncomfortable. A parking apparatus of an automatic transmission has a parking gear; a parking pole swingably disposed and provided with a claw arranged to selectively be engaged with a tooth space of the parking gear; an engagement inhibition device movably disposed and arranged to be moved to an inhibition position for inhibiting engagement between the claw and the tooth space and to an inhibition release position for releasing the inhibition of the engagement; and an engagement inhibition release device for moving the engagement inhibition device to the inhibition release position in synchronization with the rotation of the parking gear. After a residual torque existing between the parking gear and drive wheels has been released, the claw and the tooth space are engaged with each other.

摘要:
In a four wheel drive power transmission system for a vehicle, a power distribution device receives power from an engine and provides rotational power to the combination of the front wheels and also to the combination of the rear wheels, and is controllable either to provide differential action between the front wheels combination and the rear wheels combination, or for this differential action to be at least partially inhibited. This slippage control device includes: a subsystem which detects occurrence of certain speed shift circumstances of the transmission mechanism; and a subsystem which controls the power distribution device to at least partly inhibit its differential function, if the speed shift circumstances detection subsystem determines that the transmission mechanism is in fact undergoing the speed shift circumstances. The method of operation of this device is also described. The control of the power distribution device may be according to elapsed time from the time point of outputting of a speed shift command signal to the transmission mechanism, and may be based upon type of speed shift, or based upon load on the vehicle engine, or based upon the manually set operating range for the transmission mechanism, if it is an automatic transmission mechanism. Typically, the speed shift circumstances are speed down shift circumstances, quite usually circumstances of speed down shift to the first speed stage of the transmission mechanism, such as may accompanying a manual change of operational range of the transmission mechanism such as from "D" range to "L" range. The inhibition of differential action may be only performed if vehicle road speed is higher than a determinate value, or vehicle turning angle is lower than a determinate value, or both. The invention is particularly useful when the power distribution device for four wheel drive is of a type which, when thus being controlled to provide differential action, distributes drive torque substantially unequally between the front wheels combination and the rear wheels combination.
