摘要:
According to the present invention, in order to effect a shockless shift in an automatic transmission of a vehicular power train, a servo activating hydraulic fluid pressure applied to a shifting friction unit is controlled in response to a predetermined variable other than an engine throttle opening which causes a change in engine output torque from a predetermined pattern of variation of the engine output torque against variation of the engine throttle opening.

A power transmission mechanism for automotive vehicles comprises a variable displacement engine which can be selectively shifted from the driving with all cylinders to the driving with a limited number of cylinders by changing the number of cylinders in operation. A torque transmission is interposed between an output shaft and a driven shaft of the engine which can selectively use either a fluid coupling or a direct coupling. A control unit selects the driving state of the variable displacement engine and a coupling of the torque transmission depending on the driving ranges of the variable displacement engine as well as the automotive vehicle.

In an automatic power transmission system for a multicylinder internal combustion engine wherein the intake vacuum is not available as a true indication of engine load, a detection system for detecting the level of engine load includes an electrical actuator responsive to a signal which faithfully represents the engine load to vary the pressure of fluid in the automatic power transmission system. One embodiment of the invention includes an intake air sensor, an engine speed sensor and a division circuit responsive to the outputs from both sensors to generate a signal representing the quantity of air inducted per unit time to represent the true indication of the engine load free from the effect of exhaust gas recirculation or other factors influencing the intake vacuum.

A four-wheel drive vehicle is provided, including an engine with an operating mode that is switchable between all-cylinder and reduced-cylinder operating modes, a torque transmission assembly for transmitting an output torque of an engine to main drive wheels and auxiliary drive wheels, a torque ratio adjusting device included in the torque transmission assembly and configured to adjust a ratio of the output torque distributed to the auxiliary drive wheels, and controller that executes a noise suppression module for increasing the torque ratio provided to the auxiliary drive wheels by the torque ratio adjusting device so as to suppress noise generation at the torque transmission assembly, in the all-cylinder and reduced-cylinder operating modes. The noise suppression device changes the torque ratio provided to the auxiliary drive wheels according to engine operating ranges where the torque transmission assembly is in a noise generating state in the all-cylinder and reduced-cylinder operating modes, respectively.

A jolt control system is disclosed wherein an output torque alteration control is effected when an automatic transmission undergoes a gear shift operation and the output torque alteration control is suspended upon detecting a predetermined change in throttle opening degree of a throttle valve of an engine.
摘要:
Infinitely variable transmission for a device with an internal combustion engine (67) is provided with an endless transmission member (14) which has been looped over two pulleys, each having a running groove situated between conical pulley halves (2,3 and 8,9 resp.), at least one conical half of each pulley being axially movable through an associated hydraulic cylinder (4,12), also provided with a first control valve (40) for regulation of the fluid pressure in the cylinder (12) of the driven pulley and in the supply line to a second control valve (20), which second valve is intended for the adjustment of the transmission ratio by regulation of the amount of fluid supplied to and discharged from the cylinder (4) of the driving pulley. Devices have been provided for the operation of the first control valve (40) which bring about an increase or a decrease of the fluid pressure in the cylinder (12) of the driven pulley, depending on the movements of the engine block.

摘要:
A control system for a vehicle having an engine with a plurality of cylinders whose operating condition is switchable between an all-cylinder operating condition where all of the cylinders are operated and a partial-cylinder operating condition where a part of the cylinders is operated according to an operating condition of the vehicle, a torque converter with a lockup clutch connected to the engine, and a lockup clutch control device for controlling the lockup clutch. The control system includes an engine switch control unit for switching the operating condition of the engine between the all-cylinder operating condition and the partial-cylinder operating condition, a failure determining unit for determining the failure of the lockup clutch and the lockup clutch control device, and a coupling capacity change inhibiting unit for inhibiting a change in coupling capacity of the lockup clutch accompanied by the switch control of the operating condition of the engine by the engine switch control unit during the failure determination by the failure determining unit.
摘要:
A method and system for controlling gear ratio changes of a transmission operating in a powertrain with an internal combustion engine controlled by an engine throttle and having a device, such as traction assist system, that alters engine torque from that corresponding to the position of the throttle. The control substitutes a synthetic throttle position for actual throttle position during a traction assist event. Gearshifts occur with reference to a schedule relating the desired gear, vehicle speed, and synthetic throttle position.
