Patent number: 10502314Abstract: An oil pump driving control device of a vehicle having a main oil pump (14) that is driven by a motor/generator (4) and produces a pump discharge oil to a first clutch (3), a second clutch (5) and a belt-type continuously variable transmission (6) provided on a driving force transmission line. A hybrid control module (81) is provided in this FF hybrid vehicle. The hybrid control module (81) is configured to perform a control so that during vehicle stop, the lower an ATF oil temperature is, the more the pump driving energy to drive the main oil pump (14) is decreased. With this control, consumption energy during the vehicle stop can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2016Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: JATCO LTDInventors: Takanobu Mouri, Taiichi Onoyama, Seishi Shimamura, Kakuzou Kaneko, Akihiro Toyofuku, Ryuichi Arai, Ryuzo Noguchi, Satoshi Harui, Hironori Miyaishi, Tomoyuki Mizuochi, Kenichi Watanabe, Masumi Fujikawa, Kouichi Kotsuji, Shingo Suzuki, Akito Suzuki, Tetsuya Izumi, Keisuke Iwado, Kazuhiro Miyachi

Patent number: 10457290Abstract: An FF hybrid vehicle control device having an HEV mode and an EV mode as drive modes is provided with a CVT control unit (84) for determining primary pulley pressure (Ppri) and secondary pulley pressure (Psec) with which a belt (6c) of a belt-type continuously variable transmission (6) will be clamped on the basis of a torque component inputted to the belt-type continuously variable transmission (6) during brake deceleration, and the corrected amount of brake torque which is an inertia torque correction component. The CVT control unit (84) reduces the corrected amount of brake torque during brake deceleration when EV mode is selected to be less than the corrected amount of brake torque during brake deceleration when HEV mode is selected.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2016Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignees: JATCO LTD, NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Hironori Miyaishi, Tomoyuki Mizuochi, Akito Suzuki, Tetsuya Izumi

Patent number: 10377368Abstract: A controller is provided so as to control, when an electric vehicle (EV) mode is selected, a belt clamping pressure on the basis of discharged oil from a main oil pump which is driven by a motor generator. The controller is provided for a hybrid vehicle and is configured to perform control such that when the vehicle is stopped in the EV mode and a creep cut condition which does not require creep torque from the motor generator is met, a first motor idling rotation speed is set as a motor rotation speed. When the vehicle is stopped in the EV mode and a standby learning control completes learning of a zero-point oil pressure command value, the controller reduces a rotation speed of the motor generator to a second motor idling rotation speed which is lower than the first motor idling rotation speed.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2016Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignees: JATCO LTD, NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Hironori Miyaishi, Tomoyuki Mizuochi, Kenichi Watanabe, Masumi Fujikawa, Kouichi Kotsuji, Shingo Suzuki, Akito Suzuki, Tetsuya Izumi, Keisuke Iwado, Takanobu Mouri, Taiichi Onoyama, Seishi Shimamura, Akihiro Toyofuku, Ryuichi Arai, Kakuzou Kaneko, Ryuzo Noguchi, Satoshi Harui

Publication number: 20180072308Abstract: It controls, when EV mode is selected, belt clamping pressure on the basis of discharged oil from a main oil pump (14) which is driven by a motor generator (4). This control device for a FF hybrid vehicle is provided with a motor controller (83) that performs control such that when a vehicle is stopped in EV mode and a creep cut condition which does not require creep torque from the motor generator (4) is met, a first motor idling rotation speed Nma1 is set as a motor rotation speed. When the vehicle is stopped in EV mode and a standby learning controlling means completes learning of a zero-point oil pressure command value, the motor controller (83) reduces the rotation speed of the motor generator (4) to a second motor idling rotation speed Nma2 which is lower than the first motor idling rotation speed Nma1.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2016Publication date: March 15, 2018Applicants: JATCO Ltd, NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Hironori MIYAISHI, Tomoyuki MIZUOCHI, Kenichi WATANABE, Masumi FUJIKAWA, Kouichi KOTSUJI, Shingo SUZUKI, Akito SUZUKI, Tetsuya IZUMI, Keisuke IWADO, Takanobu MOURI, Taiichi ONOYAMA, Seishi SHIMAMURA, Akihiro TOYOFUKU, Ryuichi ARAI, Kakuzou KANEKO, Ryuzo NOGUCHI, Satoshi HARUI

Patent number: 8914201Abstract: A control device controls a belt type continuously variable transmission including a belt slip controller and a belt slip control permission determining unit. The device decreases belt friction when an estimated accuracy of a belt slip condition is high and prevents a belt from greatly slipping when an estimated accuracy is low. The device includes primary and secondary pulleys and the belt, and controls a gear ratio based on a running radius of the belt on a pulley by controlling primary and secondary oil pressures. The controller oscillates a secondary oil pressure, estimates the belt slip condition by monitoring a phase difference between oscillation components, and reduces an actual secondary oil pressure to maintain a predetermined belt slip condition. The determining unit permits belt slip control when a torque change speed input to the transmission mechanism is less than a predetermined value.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2009Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignees: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., Jatco LtdInventors: Katsumi Doihara, Yoshihisa Kodama, Yasuaki Yoshikawa, Kenta Nakamura, Tomoyuki Mizuochi, Kiyotaka Sawano, Masahiro Nishi, Hidemasa Kawaguchi, Keisuke Koyama
