Patent number: 10759249Abstract: A vehicle-height control system including a tank, a compressor, an actuator, and a valve between the tank and the compressor. The valve is closed to a state of a pressure medium supplier to the compressor-pressure supply state when a tank pressure has reached a threshold in a tank-pressure supply state in which the tank pressure is supplied to the actuator. In the compressor-pressure supply state, the tank pressure is kept at the threshold, and a pressure in the actuator is greater than the tank pressure. The threshold makes it difficult for a pressure differential in the valve to become greater than a valve-opening pressure differential, making it difficult for the valve to be opened in the compressor-pressure supply state. This system enables good supply of a pressure medium from the compressor to the actuator, avoiding a longer time for vehicle height control and achieving a shorter compressor operation time.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2017Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignees: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, AISIN SEIKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hideki Ohashi, Jun Tokumitsu, Ryo Kanda, Shogo Tanaka, Masaaki Oishi

Patent number: 10471949Abstract: With a motor in rotation, 0 is set as each of a d-axis current command and a q-axis current command, and offset learning is carried out. Then, in carrying out offset learning, a transmission is controlled such that a shift stage of the transmission falls within a low vehicle speed-side predetermined shift stage range. Thus, the rotational speed of the motor can be more reliably made high to a certain extent, and offset learning can be carried out. As a result, the accuracy of offset learning can be restrained from decreasing.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2017Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignees: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha, Aisin AW Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryoji Sato, Masayuki Baba, Shogo Tanaka, Takuya Shimaji

Publication number: 20190176562Abstract: A vehicle-height control system including a tank, a compressor, an actuator, and a valve between the tank and the compressor. The valve is closed to a state of a pressure medium supplier to the compressor-pressure supply state when a tank pressure has reached a threshold in a tank-pressure supply state in which the tank pressure is supplied to the actuator. In the compressor-pressure supply state, the tank pressure is kept at the threshold, and a pressure in the actuator is greater than the tank pressure. The threshold makes it difficult for a pressure differential in the valve to become greater than a valve-opening pressure differential, making it difficult for the valve to be opened in the compressor-pressure supply state. This system enables good supply of a pressure medium from the compressor to the actuator, avoiding a longer time for vehicle height control and achieving a shorter compressor operation time.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2017Publication date: June 13, 2019Applicants: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, AISIN SEIKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hideki OHASHI, Jun TOKUMITSU, Ryo KANDA, Shogo TANAKA, Masaaki OISHI
