  • Publication number: 20170248198
    Abstract: A dual clutch automatic transmission includes a one-way clutch provided in a driving force transmission path that establishes a first certain gear ratio in a first set of gear ratios. A driving transmission direction of the one-way clutch is set such that a rotation inputted from a wheel side to an output member in a predetermined rotational direction is transmitted to the input shaft. The predetermined rotational direction corresponds to a backward movement of a vehicle. If an off-gear operation cannot be performed for a transmission gear with interlock, the driving force of the driving source is input to the input shaft to enable the off-gear operation.

A driving transmission direction of the one-way clutch is set such that a rotation inputted from a wheel side to an output member in a predetermined rotational direction is transmitted to the input shaft. The predetermined rotational direction corresponds to a backward movement of a vehicle. On condition that the traveling state of the vehicle reaches a predetermined deceleration state, switching control of setting the gears for the first set to a neutral position can be executed.

  • Patent number: 9334897
    Abstract: The thrust slide bearing (1) has a synthetic resin bearing body (2) having a ring-shaped upper surface (5) that functions as a sliding surface, a ring-shaped metal plate (4) that is supported on the ring-shaped upper surface (5) to be freely rotatable relative to the bearing body (2), and a ring-shaped cover (3) disposed so as to cover the ring-shaped upper surface (5) and the ring-shaped metal plate (4). The ring-shaped metal plate (4) has an inner disc section (44) that is formed as a unit with an outer disc section (43) and is disposed in the through hole (25) of the ring-shaped cover (3). The inner disc section (44) also functions as a reinforcing part (rib) of the outer disc section (44). Thereby, the deformation of the thrust slide bearing (1)is prevented even when a large force is applied via the piston rod.

  • Patent number: 9227636
    Abstract: A power transmission device includes a synchronous meshing mechanism, a braking mechanism, a shift mechanism, a parking gear, a parking mechanism, and a control unit. In the case where the shift mechanism is switched to a parking range, the control unit performs braking continuation processing for continuing the braking of the braking mechanism (step 4) regardless of a driver's braking operation, inhibits the rotation of the driven gear shaft by the parking mechanism, places a predetermined synchronous meshing mechanism in a connected state as a preparation for starting up the vehicle again, and then ends the braking continuation processing (step 5).
