  • Patent number: 9212737
    Abstract: A twin clutch controlling apparatus wherein an interposition of a manual operation into an automatic control clutch can be executed smoothly. The twin clutch controlling apparatus includes an AMT controlling unit for controlling a shift actuator and a clutch actuator, and a shift pedal P for carrying out a shifting request to the AMT controlling unit. If, after driving of the shift actuator is started in response to the shifting request by the shift pedal, a clutch lever is operated in a connection direction before a next stage gear is placed into an in-gear state, then the controlling section drives one of an odd number stage side clutch and an even number stage side clutch which corresponds to the gear before the shifting in a corresponding relationship to a manual operation clutch capacity arithmetic operation value.

  • Patent number: 9026330
    Abstract: A twin clutch controlling apparatus includes a clutch actuator for controlling a twin clutch TCL, and a manual operation clutch capacity arithmetic operation section for converting an operation amount of a clutch lever L into an electric signal to arithmetically operate a manual operation clutch capacity arithmetic operation value (tqc1tmt) corresponding to the manual operation. The twin clutch controlling apparatus is configured so as to accept a changeover from an Auto mode to a Temp mode in response to an operation of the clutch lever L. When an operation of the clutch lever L is detected during automatic control in the Auto mode, an event that the manual operation clutch capacity arithmetic operation value (tqc1tmt) comes to have a value similar to that of the clutch capacity (tqc1at) calculated in the Auto mode is included in conditions for a changeover to the Temp mode to occur.

  • Patent number: 8977458
    Abstract: A twin clutch controlling apparatus wherein a clutch lever is operated during a deceleration operation in which an auto mode (Auto) is selected, then a shift down action from a gear position “N-2” at which a driving force can be transmitted only by one of an odd number stage side clutch CL1 and an even number stage side clutch CL2 to another position “1-2” at which the transmission gear for transmitting a driving force is switched in response to switching control of the clutch is carried out in response to the operation of the clutch lever. After the shift down action, if re-connection of the clutch is to be carried out by the clutch lever, then the clutch (CL1, CL2) on the side to be driven in response to a manual operation clutch capacity arithmetic operation value (tqc1tmt) is determined in response to a vehicle speed V.

  • Patent number: 8909446
    Abstract: A twin clutch controlling apparatus includes an ATM control unit for controlling a shift actuator and a clutch actuator and a shift pedal P for carrying out shifting request to the ATM control unit. When a shifting request by the shift pedal P is issued, the ATM control unit drives the shift actuator to change over the shift stage to a next stage gear irrespective of an operational amount of a clutch lever L and then causes the manual operation clutch capacity arithmetic operation value (tqcltmt) to correspond to a clutch capacity corresponding to the next stage gear using an operational amount of the clutch lever L that exceeds a predetermined value as a trigger. If a predetermined period of time elapses while the clutch lever L is not operated, then the shifting request is an erroneous operation and the shift stage is returned to an original gear.

  • Patent number: 8864709
    Abstract: In a medical liquid supply device, a control unit controls a liquid supply driver so that a liquid flows from the liquid supply driver in a liquid supply path regardless of whether a liquid-supply ON mode is selected. All of the liquid flowing from the liquid supply driver flows into a communication path when the liquid-supply ON mode is not selected. At least a part of the liquid flowing from the liquid supply driver does not flow into the communication path and is thereby supplied from a distal end of the liquid supply path when the liquid-supply ON mode is selected.
