摘要:
A lock-up control apparatus for a vehicle automatic transmission enables an engine stalling prevention at the time of a sudden deceleration in the lock-up state of a torque converter without causing the slip of the torque converter before the sudden deceleration, and prevents effectiveness of the fuel consumption from being sacrificed by a fuel cut. A controller performs the change-speed control on an automatic transmission through shift solenoids and on the basis of a throttle opening and a transmission output speed, and also performs the lock-up control of the torque converter through a lock-up solenoid. During the coasting drive when the throttle opening is set close to zero, the controller sets the torque converter to have a minimum lock-up capacity through the lock-up solenoid within such a range that no slip occurs. When the sudden deceleration is carried out, the controller releases the lock-up, though this lock-up release is rapidly achieved with the minimum lock-up capacity thereby to avoid the engine stalling.

摘要:
A generator (4) is combined with drive wheels (8) of a vehicle, and the output of an engine (2) is transmitted to the drive wheels (8) under an engaging force of an electromagnetic clutch (3) in response to an energizing current. During a predetermined deceleration state, a braking force is applied to the drive wheels (8) and a battery (15) is charged by the generator (4) which performs regenerative power generation. At this time, the controller (16) supplies a weak energizing current to the electromagnetic clutch (3) so as to put the clutch (3) into a partially engaged state. A sensor (29) detects the output rotation speed of the clutch (3). When the output rotation speed of the clutch (3) is high, the controller (16) decreases the energizing current so that the rotational resistance of the electromagnetic clutch (3) is reduced. When the output rotation speed of the clutch (3) is low, the controller (16) increases the energizing current so that the re-engaging response of the electromagnetic clutch (3) is increased.
