Patent number: 10167953Abstract: In a vehicular parking lock device, the parking lock is actuated when a line pressure is supplied to a left end of a hydraulic actuator (25) via a second solenoid valve (32A), or a hydraulic pressure of an accumulator (37, 38) is supplied to the left end of the hydraulic actuator (25) via a third solenoid valve (32B), and the parking lock is released when a line pressure is supplied to a right end of the hydraulic actuator (25) via a first solenoid valve (32C, 32D). The second solenoid valve (32A) and the first solenoid valve (32D) also function as a solenoid valve that supplies the hydraulic pressure to a torque converter (40) and a solenoid valve that supplies the hydraulic pressure to a hydraulic brake (41) for shift change, respectively. Thus, it is possible to decrease the total number of solenoid valves, thereby cutting the number of components of a hydraulic circuit (31).Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2015Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Tomoaki Mukai, Shunsuke Yoshida, Yuya Tachibanada

Publication number: 20180283408Abstract: A hydraulic accumulator includes a limiting portion that is fitted into a ring end gap of a snap ring to limit a decrease in a diameter of the snap ring. The snap ring is stamped from a metal sheet by a press machine. Therefore, one of two opposed surfaces of a portion of the snap ring, which is fitted into a groove, forms a sloped surface as a result of shear droop. The limiting portion is fitted into the ring end gap of the snap ring to limit the decrease in the diameter of the snap ring. Thus, it is possible to limit riding of the sloped surface of the snap ring on a corner of the groove, and thereby it is possible to limit removal of the snap ring from the groove.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2018Publication date: October 4, 2018Inventors: Kyohei TAKAHASHI, Tatsuya KITANAKA, Itsuki SHIMAZAKI, Shunsuke YOSHIDA, Yoshiatsu ASAI

Publication number: 20180283505Abstract: There is provided an automatic transmission capable of preventing deterioration of driving performance even when an engagement mechanism is not switched due to a failure. An automatic transmission includes a first brake which is always in a fixed state from a first forward gear stage to a predetermined gear stage and is in an open state at a gear stage with a higher speed than the predetermined gear stage, and a hydraulic sensor configured to detect whether the first brake is switched to the fixed state.

Patent number: 9856980Abstract: In a vehicular parking lock device, supplying a hydraulic pressure from pressure regulation of a line pressure by a linear solenoid valve to a hydraulic brake via a switching valve operated by a first solenoid valve enables a transmission to carry out a shift change. If desired that a parking lock is not operated when an engine stops, the hydraulic pressure stored under pressure in an accumulator is discharged to a drain oil passage by connecting the linear solenoid valve selectively to the drain oil passage by the first solenoid valve, thereby making it possible to prevent the hydraulic pressure stored under pressure in the accumulator from being supplied to a locking oil chamber at the other end of the hydraulic actuator. The first solenoid valve is used for both controlling the operation of the hydraulic brake and discharge of the hydraulic pressure stored under pressure in the accumulator.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2015Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Yuya Tachibanada, Tetsuya Mochizuki, Yutaka Ishikawa, Shunsuke Yoshida, Tomoaki Mukai
