Publication number: 20240084753Abstract: A control device and method controls a vehicle having an internal combustion engine connected to an automatic transmission via a torque converter with a lockup device. The torque of the internal combustion engine is limited the by a torque limit value based on a speed difference between an input rotational speed and an output rotational speed of the torque converter during acceleration in a non-lockup state. The torque-limiting of the internal combustion engine is prohibited torque-limiting upon a prescribed condition being met. The prescribed condition is met by a heating request, during hill climbing/towing, during travel at high vehicle speeds, when the accelerator pedal opening angle exceeds or is equal to a prescribed opening angle, when the torque limit value is greater than a target torque, in a range other than a D range, or in a mode other than normal mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2021Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Tetsuya NISHIYAMA, Daigo KISHI, Tatsuo NAKANO, Seiichirou TAKAHASHI, Koji SAITO, Yukiyoshi INUTA, Takao ARIMATSU, Yasuhiro ENDO

Publication number: 20200191195Abstract: A countermeasure to seal squealing is performed at a low price using an extremely simple configuration without greatly modifying constituent elements of a seal which costs a great amount of time and money. An annular shape of grease lip portions is not symmetrical to a rotational center of a fixing member. Therefore, a relative rotational center of contacting target portions of the grease lip portions is eccentric by a distance with respect to a rotational center of a rotating shaft. When a slinger rotates, a friction force is generated between the contacting target portions of the grease lip portions and a flange surface. In a housing which supports the fixing member, torsion is generated by the friction force and a restoring force which is centered on the relative rotational center acts on the contacting target portions against the torsion.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2018Publication date: June 18, 2020Inventors: Shigenobu HONDA, Tetsuya ENDO, Chiharu TADOKORO, Takuo NAGAMINE, Ken NAKANO
