Abstract:
A control apparatus for a vehicle equipped with continuously-variable transmission includes a drive source; a continuously-variable transmitting mechanism including a primary pulley, a secondary pulley and a power transferring member; a friction engagement element provided between the drive source and the continuously-variable transmitting mechanism; and a vehicle-stop LOW shift control section including a vehicle-stop judging section configured to judge if the vehicle is in a stopped state. A power-transferring state of the friction engagement element is controlled by an engaging-force control. The vehicle-stop LOW shift control section starts a vehicle-stop LOW shift control to shift a pulley ratio of the continuously-variable transmitting mechanism toward LOW side when the vehicle-stop judging section determines that the vehicle is stopped under a power-transferring state where the friction engagement element is in an engaged state and the pulley ratio is not in a LOWEST region.
Abstract:
When a vehicle decelerates rapidly, a lower limit secondary pulley pressure (Plmt) is calculated on the basis of a primary pulley rotation speed (Npri) detected by a primary pulley rotation sensor. When a deceleration speed (Gdata) is greater than a predetermined deceleration speed (G1) and a secondary pulley pressure (Psec) detected by a secondary pulley pressure sensor is lower than the lower limit secondary pulley pressure (Plmt), it is determined that slippage is about to occur in a V-belt 4 on a primary pulley side in particular, and therefore speed ratio fixing control is performed.
Abstract:
An HV-ECU performs a program including the steps of: determining whether or not the HV-ECU is in an auto-P execution state; determining whether or not a predetermined time period Tb has elapsed since an auto-P was requested; and permitting determination of the shifting operation if the HV-ECU is in the auto-P execution state and if it is determined that the predetermined time period Tb has elapsed since the auto-P was requested.
Abstract:
A control unit (200) executes fail-safe control that forcibly releases a lockup clutch (15) by activating a fail-safe valve (112), abnormality diagnosis control that determines whether a solenoid valve (DSU) is suffering from a solenoid ON abnormality when the vehicle has started with the fail-safe control executed, and reproduction control that simulatively reproduces, when the vehicle has started without the fail-safe control executed, a condition coinciding with the condition for allowing execution of the abnormality diagnosis control.
Abstract:
During Low return control, in which a speed ratio determined by a contact radius of a V-belt (4) with a non-rotating primary pulley (2) and a non-rotating secondary pulley (3) is shifted toward lowest speed ratio while the vehicle is stationary, an estimated speed ratio (ic) is calculated on the basis of a secondary pulley pressure (Psec). When a start request is issued to the vehicle while Low return control is underway, a primary pulley pressure (Ppri) and the secondary pulley pressure (Psec) are controlled on the basis of the estimated speed ratio (ic).
Abstract:
In a hydraulic control system for a transmission, line pressure Pl is adjusted in accordance with a second solenoid pressure Psls if the ratio of a first sheave pressure Pin with respect to a second solenoid pressure Psls is equal to or less than the gain α. If not so, the line pressure Pl is adjusted in accordance with the first sheave pressure Pin. Consequently, the gain η of the first sheave pressure Pin with respect to a first solenoid pressure Pslp at a first sheave pressure adjustment valve 16 and the gain α of a second sheave pressure Pout with respect to the second solenoid pressure Psls at a second sheave pressure adjustment valve 17 can be individually set while the line pressure Pl can be suppressed to the substantially requisite minimum in the entire control region.
Abstract:
A hydraulic control system of a vehicle power train having a belt-type continuously variable transmission, and a hydraulic lock-up clutch, includes: a line pressure control valve; first and second control valves; first, second and third electromagnetic valves; and a fail-safe valve. The fail-safe valve is switched to a fail position in which a line pressure is supplied to one of a drive pulley and a driven pulley when a rapid deceleration state is likely to occur in the belt-type continuously variable transmission, the fail-safe valve is switched to a normal position in which a hydraulic pressure output from the first control valve is supplied to the one of the drive pulley and the driven pulley during times other than the above, and the fail-safe valve is switched by a combination of a hydraulic pressure controlled by the second electromagnetic valve and a hydraulic pressure controlled by the third electromagnetic valve.
Abstract:
Interruption in supervisory position control signals can cause problems with respect to actuators which upon loss of such control signals for the actuator will generally slew to a fixed idle position. In such circumstances a machine such as a gas turbine engine in which an actuator is associated will not sustain performance even though there is continued local power supply to the actuator. By utilising a local controller which stores actuator response profiles for certain machine status stages through perturbation or marginal activation of the actuator an appropriate actuator response profile can be chosen and therefore sustaining control signals presented to the actuator to maintain machine operation.
Abstract:
A hydraulic system for controlling a belt-driven conical-pulley transmission of a motor vehicle, wherein the transmission has a variably adjustable transmission ratio. The hydraulic system includes a first valve arrangement to control a contact pressure in the belt-driven conical-pulley transmission, a second valve arrangement to control the transmission ratio of the belt-driven conical-pulley transmission, and a hydraulic energy source to supply the hydraulic system with hydraulic energy. In order to provide an improved hydraulic system, the system includes a third valve arrangement for controlling a forward clutch and a reverse clutch.
