摘要:
A controller of an automatic transmission having a lockup clutch and a control method of the automatic transmission, in which engine rotational speed is prevented from changing even though turbine rotational speed changes at gear shift and slip control can be carried out without making a driver feel uncomfortable are provided. When a speed change command is detected and it is determined that an inertia phase has not yet started, target engine rotational speed during a replenish period is calculated and the target engine rotational speed control is carried out to have the target engine rotational speed. When it is determined that the control is in the inertia phase, another target engine rotational speed during the inertia phase is calculated. Then, target engine rotational speed control in which the engine rotational speed at the start of the inertia phase is maintained as the target engine rotational speed is carried out.

An automotive automatic transmission has an input shaft receiving a rotational force from an engine, an output shaft for outputting a rotational force to a vehicle driving wheel, a frictional engagement device having an adjustable engagement condition, and a transmission device for transmitting a rotational force from the input shaft to the output shaft at a gear speed ratio depending on the engagement condition of the frictional engagement device. A control apparatus for the automotive automatic transmission includes an engagement condition adjusting device for adjusting the engagement condition of the frictional engagement device by feeding a hydraulic pressure thereto in response to an instructed control amount. The control apparatus also includes a control amount calculating device for calculating the control amount such that a time-domain variation in the control amount is along a curve which corresponds to a monotonic increase and whose variation rate gradually increases, or such that a time-domain variation in the control amount is along a curve which corresponds to a monotonic decrease and whose variation rate gradually decreases.

In order to precisely determines the time to start feedback control of line pressure during a shifting period, a shift control computer calculates an effective gear ratio Ge=Nt/Nos at the time of an shift instruction based on input shaft rotational speed Nt and detected vehicle speed Nos and then calculates a parameter F=Nos.times.Ge-Nt indicating the point to start feedback control based on the input shaft rotational speed Nt, the detected vehicle speed Nos and the effective gear ratio Ge. By comparing the calculated parameter F with a predetermined value .DELTA.Nt, hydraulic pressure at the start of shift operation is maintained if F

摘要:
A hydraulic control system for an automatic transmission is disclosed which includes a feedback hydraulic control circuit and a hydraulic correcting circuit. The feedback hydraulic control circuit controls the hydraulic pressure supplied to frictional elements of the automatic transmission under feedback control during a shift operation for adjusting the speed of an input shaft or a rate of change in speed of the input shaft of the automatic transmission to agree with a target speed or a target rate. The hydraulic correcting circuit corrects an output of the feedback hydraulic control circuit so as to suppress vibrations of torque transmitted through a drive train of the automatic transmission caused by control of the hydraulic pressure carried out by the feedback hydraulic control circuit within a range of a resonance frequency of the drive train of the automatic transmission.
摘要:
A lock-up clutch control method controls a torque converter comprising an input shaft through which a rotating force from an engine is input, an output shaft which outputs a driving force to the side of driving wheels and a lock-up clutch which operates in response to a hydraulic pressure. A control element controls an engaging pressure of the lock-up clutch by way of the hydraulic pressure. The engaging force of the clutch is controlled in accordance with calculated results of a target following up section for calculating a controlled variable so that a slip follows up a target slip and a control system stabilizing section for calculating the controlled variable so that the disturbance applied to the control system is compensated. Thereby, a stable control may be realized without receiving any effect of the disturbance. The disturbance may be estimated and learned for more accurate control.

In executing an ETC cooperative downshift operation based on a driver's intent to decelerate, this system executes an engine output increasing control (e.g. a combination of a throttle opening control and a fuel injection restoring control) for increasing the engine output irrespective of driver's accelerator operation. At the timing a reduction amount in an input shaft rotational speed Nt exceeds a predetermined value K after the ETC cooperative downshift control is started, it is presumed that the hydraulic pressure of a to-be-disengaged clutch is already reduced to a hydraulic pressure level equivalent to a predetermined transmission torque capacity that causes no undesirable acceleration or shock even if the engine output increasing control is started. And, under such assumption, the engine output increasing control is started at this timing. Accordingly, the present invention can accurately set the start timing of the engine output increasing control so as to suppress any undesirable acceleration or shock caused by the engine output increasing control.
摘要:
When a charge control is applied to a clutch during a shifting operation of an automatic transmission, a charge counter of this clutch is set to a predetermined value. When a drain control is applied to the clutch, the charge counter is counted down. In response to renewal of requested gear position during the shifting operation, a judgment is made as to whether the state of charge is clear with respect to hydraulic fluid supplied to the clutch (i.e. to-be-newly-charged clutch) before the charge control is applied to this clutch for establishing a renewed requested gear position. When the charge counter of this clutch is currently counted down, it is decided that the charged condition of hydraulic fluid supplied to the clutch is unclear. Thus, a multi-stage gear shifting control (i.e. replacement or renewal of target gear position) is prohibited, thereby suppressing generation of shift shock.
摘要:
A position control device includes a fluid-operated directional control valve for controlling the position of the piston of a cylinder assembly under fluid pressure in response to a control signal from an electronic controller. The position of the piston is predicted based on the control signal. A position detector detects when the piston has actually reached a predetermined position. When it is detected that the piston has actually reached the predetermined position, the predicted position of the piston is corrected. The electronic controller applies a control signal to the directional control valve so that the predicted position as corrected will be equalized to a target position for the piston. The predetermined position is a substantially intermediate position of the stroke of the piston. The directional control valve comprises a solenoid-controlled valve for controlling the flow rate of the fluid depending on the magnitude of a current supplied to the solenoid-operated valve. The position of the piston is calculated based on the magnitude of the current and a period of time during which the current is supplied to the solenoid-operated valve. An automotive suspension system incorporating the position control device is also disclosed.
