  • Patent number: 10479182
    Abstract: A shift control system includes a controller that controls a transmission and a hydraulic controller. During an inertia phase where an input speed of the transmission changes toward a synchronous speed in a gear stage after a shift, the controller sets an oil pressure of a specific frictional engagement of a plurality of frictional engagement devices to an oil pressure that, at a time of the shift, exceeds a first oil pressure to set a transmission torque capacity equal to a first drive torque applied to the specific frictional engagement device of a drive torque outputted from a prime mover, but is less than a second oil pressure to set a transmission torque capacity equal to a second drive torque which is the first drive torque to which has been added an inertia torque generated by inertia on a prime mover side accompanying a change in speed ratio.

  • Publication number: 20180244144
    Abstract: A shift control system for vehicle that improves an acceleration feeling while suppressing a shift shock includes a controller that controls a transmission and a hydraulic controller. The controller, during an inertia phase where an input speed of the transmission changes toward a synchronous speed in a gear stage after a shift, sets an oil pressure of a specific frictional engagement device configuring the gear stage after the shift, of a plurality of frictional engagement devices to an oil pressure that, at a time of the shift, exceeds a first oil pressure to set a transmission torque capacity equal to a first drive torque applied to the specific frictional engagement device of a drive torque outputted from a prime mover, but is less than a second oil pressure to set a transmission torque capacity equal to a second drive torque which is the first drive torque to which has been added an inertia torque generated by inertia on a prime mover side accompanying a change in speed ratio.

  • Patent number: 9933026
    Abstract: A vehicle control system for improving vibration suppressing performance and acceleration response is provided. A controller is configured to set the torque transmitting capacity of an engagement device to a first torque transmitting capacity that is smaller than a value required to transmit a peak value of a second drive torque applied to an output shaft of a transmission having the engagement device but greater than a value required to transmit an estimated first drive torque generated by an engine, when the second drive torque is amplified by pulsation of the first drive torque.

  • Patent number: 5148093
    Abstract: A control system for an AC excited synchronous machine for use in an electricity generator/motor system. The AC excited synchronous machine can be driven not only in a variable-speed operation based on 2-axis current control but also in a constant exciting frequency operation based on only direct-axis current component control. A phase signal is switched to drive stably the AC excited synchronoius machine in a self-excited operation or in a rotary phase modifying operation. Further, when it is desired to start pumping-up water, a synchronizing power is provided to keep constant the rotational speed of the machine at the time of establishing a desired water pressure. Because of the switching arrangement of the phase signal, the AC excited synchronous machine can be operated as an ordinary synchronous machine exhibiting ordinary synchronous characteristics, that is, self-excited operation characteristics, rotary phase modifying operation characteristics and pumping-up start characteristics.

  • Patent number: 4980629
    Abstract: An AC-excited generator/motor apparatus comprising; an AC-excited generator/motor having an armature mounting thereon; an armature winding connected to an AC power system and a rotor mounting thereon; and an exciting winding excited by an AC current. An exciting device for supplying a controlled AC exciting current to the exciting winding comprises; a device for calculating a real slip frequency based on a difference between the phase of an armature voltage appearing on the armature winding and the rotational phase of the rotor; and a device for controlling the exciting current supplied to the exciting winding from the exciting means in response to a deviation of the real slip frequency from a predetermined allowable range of slip frequencies so as to restore the real slip frequency within the allowable range of slip frequencies.

  • Patent number: 4743827
    Abstract: Disclosed in a variable speed pumping-up electrical power system comprising a variable speed generator/motor, a frequency converter connected between the generator/motor and an a.c. power system, a controller controlling an effective power input to the generator/motor by controlling the frequency converter on the basis of the difference between an actual effective power input from the a.c. power system and an externally-applied effective power command, and a correction circuit correcting the effective power command on the basis of the difference between the frequency of the a.c. power system and a frequency setting.
