Patent number: 11506275Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Makito Nakasone, Koji Nakamura

Patent number: 11466773Abstract: The disclosure provides a hydraulic control device. The operating/stopping of the second pump is determined based on a value of a difference between a reduced work rate of the first pump when the second pump is operated and a power consumption of the second pump. In a state where the second pump is stopped, the power consumption of the second pump is calculated based on an estimated value of a pressure of oil supplied to the hydraulic operation part and an estimated value of a pressure of oil supplied from the first pump to another hydraulic operation part or a lubrication target operating at a lower pressure than the hydraulic operation part. In a state where the second pump is operated, the power consumption of the second pump is calculated based on an actual rotation speed and an actual torque of the second pump.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2020Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Makito Nakasone, Koji Nakamura

Patent number: 11466772Abstract: Provided is a hydraulic control device in which in the rotation control of the second pump, the required discharge pressure of the second pump can be more reliably maintained below a predetermined pressure in the control that keeps the target rotation speed constant after the feedback control ends. In the rotation control of the second pump, in the control which keeps the target rotation speed constant after the feedback control ends, the rotation of the second pump is controlled by adding a predetermined addition rotation speed to the target rotation speed corresponding to the required discharge pressure. Since the required discharge pressure of the second pump can be maintained below a predetermined pressure in the fixed mode by the addition rotation speed, it can reliably obtain the effect of reducing the work load of the first pump and contribute to the improvement of the fuel efficiency of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2020Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Makito Nakasone, Koji Nakamura

Patent number: 10760680Abstract: In a hydraulic control device, a state determination unit of a control unit determines whether a second pump is in a boosting operation or in a transition state. If the state determination unit has determined that the second pump is in the boosting operation or in the transition state, a valve-opening detection unit determines whether a check valve is opened. If the valve-opening detection unit has determined that the check valve is opened, a controller stops the second pump or decreases the rotation number of the second pump.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Masamichi Harada, Makito Nakasone
