Clutch Controller, Method of Controlling Clutch, and Straddle-Type Vehicle
First Claim
1. A clutch controller for controlling an engagement state of a clutch by actuating an actuator, comprising:
- an actual torque obtaining means for obtaining torque transmitted from a drive-side member of the clutch to a downstream mechanism in a torque transmission path as actual transmission torque, the downstream mechanism including a driven-side member of the clutch;
a target torque obtaining means for obtaining torque that is supposed to be transmitted from the drive-side member to the downstream mechanism in the torque transmission path as target transmission torque; and
a control means for actuating the actuator by an actuation amount according to a difference between the actual transmission torque and the target transmission torque.

Abstract
A clutch controller that transmits appropriate torque during engaging operation of a clutch. An actual torque obtaining section obtains torque transmitted from a drive-side member of the clutch to a downstream mechanism in a torque transmission path as actual transmission torque, the downstream mechanism including a driven-side member of the clutch. A target torque obtaining section obtains torque that is supposed to be transmitted from the drive-side member to the downstream mechanism in the torque transmission path as target transmission torque. A clutch actuator control section actuates an actuator by an actuation amount according to a difference between the actual transmission torque and the target transmission torque.

8. A method of controlling a clutch for controlling an engagement state of the clutch by actuating an actuator, the method comprising:
actuating the actuator by an actuation amount obtained according to a difference between actual transmission torque transmitted from a drive-side member of the clutch to a downstream mechanism in a torque transmission path, the downstream mechanism including a driven-side member of the clutch, and target transmission torque that is supposed to be transmitted from the drive-side member to the downstream mechanism in the torque transmission path.
