  • Patent number: 11827497
    Abstract: A work vehicle includes: an operation tool that is operated by an operator; and a controller that determines a target flow rate for hydraulic oil fed to a hydraulic device on a basis of the amount of operation of the operation tool. The controller calculates a bleed-off target flow rate on a basis of the flow rate of hydraulic oil fed from a hydraulic oil pump and the target flow rate for hydraulic oil fed to the hydraulic device, calculates a bleed-off throttle differential pressure on a basis of a pressure of hydraulic oil fed from the hydraulic oil pump and a pressure of hydraulic oil in a hydraulic oil tank, calculates a bleed-off target opening area on a basis of the bleed-off target flow rate and the bleed-off throttle differential pressure, and controls a hydraulic oil control valve such that the bleed-off target opening area is achieved.

  • Patent number: 6024670
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a control apparatus for an automatic transmission. The control apparatus comprises an oil pressure control section for controlling engagement transition oil pressure which is supplied to friction engaging elements so that what is changed by a speed-change is changed along a locus of a predetermined target value. Also, the control apparatus comprises an engine torque control section for controlling a quantity of change in engine output torque during a speed-change so that a parameter whose value changes in parallel to a speed changing operation has an optimum change characteristic. The engagement transition oil pressure is corrected based on the quantity of change in the engine output torque in controlling the engagement transition oil pressure, and the quantity of change in the engine output torque is corrected based on the engagement transition oil pressure in controlling the quantity of change in the engine output torque.
