  • Patent number: 10509629
    Abstract: A control device according to the present embodiment includes a first circuit, a second circuit and an adder. The first circuit performs proportional control and integral control on the basis of a difference between an indicating value input from an outside and a feedback value output from a controlled object in accordance with the indicating value. The second circuit extracts change in manipulated variable input to the controlled object in accordance with the indicating value and generates and outputs a reverse bias value that causes reverse change to the extracted change. The adder adds an output value of the first circuit to the reverse bias value to output an addition value obtained by the addition as the manipulated variable.

  • Patent number: 9108636
    Abstract: In a transmission control device for a hybrid vehicle, when an engine torque is equal to or less than a predetermined value during a constant speed traveling, a learning engine rotational speed is set to a rotational speed being higher by +? than the present engine rotational speed. Then, a learning engine torque is calculated that corresponds to the learning engine rotational speed, a learning clutch actuator operation amount is obtained that corresponds to the learning clutch torque, and a clutch actuator is operated based on the learning clutch actuator operation amount. Thereafter, when the engine rotational speed and the engine torque are in stable states, a clutch torque value corresponding to the learning clutch actuator operation amount is compensated by a stable engine torque value.

  • Patent number: 9096214
    Abstract: The gear shifting control device comprises a speed change operation completion detecting portion, a rotation difference judging portion for judging whether or not the absolute difference between the engine rotation speed and the input rotation speed exceeds a predetermined value and a clutch torque—operating amount correcting portion which replaces the clutch torque corresponding to the clutch actuator operating amount corresponding to the target clutch torque with a presumed clutch torque. Thus the correction accuracy for the clutch actuator operating amount can be improved by learning a speed change state by extracting a suitable state for learning.

  • Patent number: 8287428
    Abstract: A power transmission apparatus disposed includes: a motor for driving wheels, and transforms kinetic energy at the driving path to electrical energy; a normal close type clutch that includes an input and an output and is selectively set in an engaging state and a released state, wherein the clutch is normally set in the engaging state by a biasing member and is set in the released state when hydraulic pressure is applied; a hydraulic-pressure feeding device for supplying the adjusted hydraulic pressure to the clutch; and a control device for controlling the feeding device. When changing the clutch from the engaged state to the released state, if the difference between rotation numbers of the input and the output becomes equal to or larger than the predetermined value, the control device controls the feeding device to bring the clutch to a state just before the engaged state.
