  • Patent number: 11499632
    Abstract: A hydraulic control device that includes a primary pressure control valve that has a first valve element and that regulates the primary pressure by varying a position of the first valve element in accordance with operation of a first electromagnetic actuator; a secondary pressure control valve that has a second valve element and that regulates the secondary pressure by varying a position of the second valve element in accordance with operation of a second electromagnetic actuator; and a fail-safe valve that varies the position of the first valve element such that the primary pressure is reduced when the first electromagnetic actuator and the second electromagnetic actuator become inoperable.

  • Patent number: 10626985
    Abstract: A hydraulic control device that includes a second solenoid valve that is capable of supplying a resisting pressure that maintains the switching valve in the non-reverse state against the reverse range pressure, wherein the switching valve is maintained in the non-reverse state by supplying the resisting pressure from the second solenoid valve while a travel range is switched to at least a reverse range during forward travel.

  • Publication number: 20190390768
    Abstract: In the case where an automatic transmission is configured such that the winding diameter of a belt around a primary pulley (41) is larger than the winding diameter of the belt around a secondary pulley (42) when a primary pressure and a secondary pressure are equal to each other, a fail-safe valve (124) varies the position of a first valve element (123p1) of a primary pressure control valve (123P) such that the primary pressure is reduced when a first electromagnetic actuator (SLPs) and a second electromagnetic actuator (SLSs) become inoperable.
