Patent number: 10816092Abstract: A comparison determination unit of a hydraulic control device determines whether a characteristic abnormality occurs in at least one hydraulic sensor of an output pressure sensor and a lateral pressure sensor by comparing an output pressure detected by the output pressure sensor and a lateral pressure detected by the lateral pressure sensor. An individual determination unit determines whether the characteristic abnormality occurs in the hydraulic sensor as a determination target by individually determining whether the output pressure and the lateral pressure are out of a predetermined range. A characteristic abnormality detection unit determines the hydraulic sensor in which the characteristic abnormality occurs by using each determination result in the comparison determination unit and the individual determination unit.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2018Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Masamichi Harada, Keiichi Nishiyama

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

Patent number: 10473126Abstract: In a control unit of a hydraulic control device, a workload calculation unit calculates the amount of workload cut in a first pump when supply of first oil from the first pump to a continuously variable transmission mechanism through a check valve is switched to supply of second oil from a second pump to the continuously variable transmission mechanism. A workload determination unit determines whether the amount of workload loss of an ACG is more than the amount of workload cut. A motor controller stops a motor or decreases a rotation number if the workload determination unit determines that the amount of workload loss is more than the amount of workload cut.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2018Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventor: Masamichi Harada
