Patent number: 11953116Abstract: A valve body has an inflow passage for a working fluid, an outflow passage for the working fluid, and a pressure relief passage, which connects the inflow passage and the outflow passage by bypassing a normally close valve seat. A pressure relief valve is located in the pressure relief passage. The pressure relief valve closes the pressure relief passage, if a pressure of the working fluid in the outflow passage is lower than, is equal to, and is higher by a pressure difference less than a predetermined relief pressure than a pressure of the working fluid in the inflow passage. The pressure relief valve opens the pressure relief passage, if the pressure of the working fluid in the outflow passage is higher by a pressure difference equal to or higher than the relief pressure than a pressure of the working fluid in the inflow passage.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: HAMANAKODENSO CO., LTD.Inventors: Fumiaki Kaneko, Masashi Sugano, Yutaka Sato, Masahiro Hisada

Patent number: 11085535Abstract: The control mode is switched between a first control mode configured to control the speed change pump based on an actual speed ratio being an actual speed ratio of the variator, and a second control mode configured to control the speed change pump based on an actual working pressure being an actual working pressure of the variator. In the first control mode, the actual speed ratio is calculated based on a detected value of a vehicle speed; and the speed change pump is controlled to cause the actual speed ratio to approach the target speed ratio. In the second control mode, the actual working pressure is detected and the speed change pump is controlled to cause the actual working pressure to approach a target working pressure corresponding to the target speed ratio. In a situation or a condition where the detection accuracy of the vehicle speed by the vehicle speed sensor decreases, the control mode is switched from the first control mode to the second control mode.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2018Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Ryohey Toyota, Tomoyuki Nakano, Yutaka Kaneko, Kazuhiko Tazoe, Kouichi Kotsuji
