  • Patent number: 11936012
    Abstract: An abnormality detection device includes: a voltage value acquisition unit configured to acquire a voltage value of each battery cells, a state value measurement unit configured to measure a state value inside a battery pack, which is different from a temperature of each battery cell, and an abnormality determination unit configured to determine an abnormality of the battery pack. The abnormality determination unit includes: a voltage value comparison unit configured to compare the voltage value with a predetermined voltage threshold value, and a state value comparison unit configured to compare at least one of the state value and a degree of change in the state value per unit time with a predetermined state threshold value. The abnormality determination unit is configured to determine an abnormality of the battery pack based on both a voltage value comparison result and a state value comparison result.

  • Patent number: 9108619
    Abstract: A control device for a lockup clutch is provided in which when control region determination device determines that a vehicle speed and an opening degree of an accelerator pedal are in the tight region of the lockup clutch, even if the water temperature of cooling water of the or the oil temperature of hydraulic oil of the transmission is less than a predetermined temperature, engagement permission device permits engagement of the lockup clutch. It is therefore possible to improve the fuel economy of the vehicle by increasing the frequency of engagement of the lockup clutch without affecting the function of the lockup clutch. The control device even functions when the lockup clutch is engaged at low temperatures, when the engagement responsiveness is low, because the oil temperature of the hydraulic oil is low and the viscosity is high.

  • Publication number: 20140080671
    Abstract: A control device for a lockup clutch is provided in which when control region determination means (M3) determines that a vehicle speed detected by a vehicle speed sensor (Sc) and an opening degree of an accelerator pedal detected by an accelerator pedal opening degree sensor (Sd) are in the tight region of the lockup clutch, even if the water temperature of cooling water of the engine detected by a water temperature sensor (Sa) or the oil temperature of hydraulic oil of the transmission detected by an oil temperature sensor (Sb) is less than a predetermined temperature, engagement permission means (M2) permits engagement of the lockup clutch, and therefore, it is possible to contribute to an improvement of the fuel economy by increasing the frequency of engagement of the lockup clutch without affecting the function of the lockup clutch.
