  • Patent number: 11506275
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a hydraulic control device capable of suppressing an excessive increase in the rotation speed of a second pump and stabilizing the discharge pressure of the second pump. The target rotation speed of the second pump for making a pressure value of a first oil close to an estimated value of a pressure value of a third oil is calculated, and a feedback amount with respect to the target rotation speed is calculated by subtracting the estimated value of the pressure value of the third oil from the pressure value of the first oil detected by a hydraulic sensor. Time regions for performing calculation of the feedback amount include an update region in which the feedback amount with respect to the target rotation speed is updated, and a hold region in which update of the feedback amount with respect to the target rotation speed is temporarily stopped.
