  • Publication number: 20150330501
    Abstract: In a sleeve, two input ports are formed as ports that receive a discharge pressure of an electromagnetic pump, and a drain port connected to a drain oil passage is formed on the same circumference as that on which the input port is formed, so as to have a smaller opening area than the input port and an output port connected to an oil passage. The axial length of the second land is set so that the input port can be closed by the second land when a signal pressure is equal to or higher than a set pressure, and that the input port and the drain port can be closed by the second land when the signal pressure is lower than the set pressure.

  • Publication number: 20150323063
    Abstract: A hydraulic control device includes a C1 relay valve 70 whose state is switched based on a signal pressure that is generated based on a line pressure PL, and a check valve 80 attached to a drain oil passage L7. A set pressure of the check valve 80 is adjusted to an oil pressure that is lower than the maximum oil pressure obtained by discharge capability of an electromagnetic pump 60 and higher than an SL1 pressure Psl1 remaining in a hydraulic servo of a clutch C1 when the state of the C1 relay valve 70 is switched after a mechanical oil pump 42 is stopped. Operation of the electromagnetic pump 60 is started before the state of the C1 relay valve 70 is switched after the mechanical oil pump 42 is stopped.

  • Publication number: 20140251745
    Abstract: A lubricating oil supply device that supplies hydraulic oil used to actuate a vehicle's transmission. The supply device configured with a pump that generates a hydraulic pressure, and a line pressure generation valve that discharges a part of the hydraulic pressure from the pump as a discharge pressure to generate a line pressure for actuating the transmission. A signal pressure output valve that outputs a signal pressure for actuating the line pressure generation valve in accordance with at least a throttle operation amount or torque input to the transmission. Furthermore, a switching valve that is actuated by the signal pressure from the signal pressure output valve and that supplies lubricating oil input to an input port to the object to be lubricated from an output port with a flow rate of the lubricating oil changed.

  • Publication number: 20140245731
    Abstract: A spool valve that has a hollow portion formed with an input port, a first output port, and a second output port, and a spool capable of sliding within the hollow portion and having a plurality of lands, the spool valve being configured to distribute output for input to the input port to the first output port and the second output port in accordance with a proportion of distribution that matches a position of the spool. An opening of the second output port is formed in such a shape that a width of the opening becomes gradually smaller in a direction of movement of the spool in which distribution of the output to the first output port is increased.
