Patent number: 10323744Abstract: Control device for continuously variable transmission (4) with auxiliary transmission having variator (20); hydraulic pressure control circuit (11) having primary pressure solenoid (11b); and transmission ratio controller (12) controlling the transmission ratio of variator (20) by feedback control. The transmission ratio controller (12) has a high limiter control unit (FIG. 5) that, when receiving a high transmission ratio limiting request, performs a high limiter control that limits the transmission ratio to a High limit line. The transmission ratio controller (12) also has a primary pressure lower limit regulation control unit (FIG. 4) that, when operation of the high limiter control is started during a time period when the transmission ratio is present at a High transmission ratio side with respect to the high limit transmission ratio, regulates a decrease of a primary command pressure to the primary pressure solenoid up to a High limiter-operated final target primary lower limit pressure.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2015Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: JATCO LTDInventors: Tomoyuki Suwabe, Shin Tsukamoto, Youhei Ishikawa

Patent number: 8818654Abstract: Engine output control apparatus has shift range detecting section detecting shift range of automatic transmission; vehicle speed detecting section detecting vehicle speed; engine output state detecting section detecting engine output state; and controller. The controller performs (a) judgment control judging that torque converter is in a stall state if following judgment conditions (i) to (iii) are satisfied, (i) shift range is drive range, (ii) vehicle speed is equal to or less than predetermined vehicle speed, (iii) engine is in a high output state, (b) cumulation control cumulating a period of agreement of the judgment conditions if the judgment conditions are satisfied, and (c) output suppression control suppressing output of the engine if a control start condition is satisfied by cumulation of the agreement period. The control start condition is set so that as the vehicle speed becomes higher, start of the output suppression control is more delayed.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2013Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: JATCO LtdInventors: Takashi Koguchi, Kazunori Sugiura, Shin Tsukamoto, Shohei Imaji, Yoshiyuki Egawa

Patent number: 8548701Abstract: A transmission controller determines whether an oil temperature in the CVT is higher than a high oil temperature control starting temperature or not. If it is determined that the oil temperature is higher than the high oil temperature control starting temperature, a first oil temperature lowering processing which limits an input rotation speed of the CVT by changing a speed ratio of the CVT smaller is executed. If the input rotation speed of the CVT reaches a predetermined lower limit rotation speed during execution of the first oil temperature lowering processing, the first oil temperature lowering processing is ended and a second oil temperature lowering processing that limits a torque of an engine is executed.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2009Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Jatco LtdInventors: Shin Tsukamoto, Tooru Yokota
