  • Patent number: 10626989
    Abstract: A hydraulic control device where the engagement pressure which is supplied from the first solenoid valve is supplied to the synchronization mechanism in the case where the signal pressure is not supplied to the switching valve, and the engagement pressure which is supplied from the first solenoid valve is supplied to the engagement element and the source pressure is supplied to the synchronization mechanism as the engagement pressure in the case where the signal pressure is supplied to the switching valve.

  • Patent number: 10428936
    Abstract: A hydraulic control device that includes a source pressure generating valve that generates a source pressure; a solenoid valve that can supply the engagement pressure based on the source pressure; and a supply pressure switching valve that can be switched between a first state where the supply pressure switching valve can supply the engagement pressure to the second engagement element and a second state where the supply pressure switching valve can supply the source pressure to the second engagement element, the supply pressure switching valve being in the first state when the solenoid valve is operating normally, and being switched to the second state in case of abnormality in the solenoid valve.

  • Patent number: 10174822
    Abstract: A hydraulic control device for an automatic transmission where the spool is locked at the first position and the switching pressure can regulate the belt holding force of the primary pulley or the secondary pulley without switching a position of the spool when the engagement pressure is supplied to the second working oil chamber, and the spool is not locked at the first position and the switching pressure can switch the spool to the second position against the urging member when the engagement pressure is not supplied to the second working oil chamber.

  • Patent number: 9890853
    Abstract: A hydraulic control device has: a modulator valve using oil pressure from a hydraulic source for adjusting a modulator pressure; driving and driven-side hydraulic actuator control valves controlling hydraulic oil from the source to driving and driven-side hydraulic actuators; a driving-side control oil pressure adjusting electromagnetic valve using the modulator pressure for outputting a control oil pressure controlling the driving-side control valve; and a driven-side control oil pressure adjusting electromagnetic valve for outputting a control oil pressure controlling the driven-side control valve, the hydraulic control device including a failsafe valve switched from a normal to a failure position based on a failure disabling electric control for the driving-side and driven-side electromagnetic valves, the modulator valve making the modulator pressure lower than a value at the normal position based on an output switching pressure generated due to switching the failsafe valve from the normal to the failure p
