Abstract

There is provided an oil pressure control device for a belt-type continuously variable transmission which includes two pulleys and a belt, wherein each of the two pulleys has a movable sheave which moves by oil pressure supplied to a hydraulic chamber, wherein the oil pressure control device calculates a request torque according to a running state, wherein when calculating the oil pressure which is supplied to the hydraulic chamber of the movable sheave on the basis of the request torque, the oil pressure control device reduces the request torque if the request torque is greater by a predetermined value or more than an actual input torque which is inputted to the belt-type continuously variable transmission. Accordingly, it is possible to provide an oil pressure control device for a belt-type continuously variable transmission with which undesirable vibration can be avoided by means of stable speed-ratio control.

Claims

1. An oil pressure control device for a belt-type continuously variable transmission,

wherein the belt-type continuously variable transmission includes two pulleys and a belt provided between the two pulleys and wound around the two pulleys to transmit motive power,

each of the two pulleys has a movable sheave which moves by oil pressure supplied to a hydraulic chamber, and

the oil pressure control device is configured

to calculate a request torque according to a running state,

to calculate the oil pressure which is supplied to the hydraulic chamber, on the basis of the request torque,

to calculate an actual input torque which is inputted to the belt-type continuously variable transmission, and

to reduce the request torque if the request torque is greater than the actual input torque by a predetermined value or more.

2. An oil pressure control device for a belt-type continuously variable transmission,

wherein the belt-type continuously variable transmission includes two pulleys and a belt provided between the two pulleys and wound around the two pulleys to transmit motive power, and

each of the two pulleys has a movable sheave which moves by oil pressure supplied to a hydraulic chamber,

the oil pressure control device comprising:

a request torque calculating section that calculates a request torque according to a running state;

an oil pressure calculating section that calculates the oil pressure which is supplied to the hydraulic chamber, on the basis of the request torque;

an actual input-torque calculating section that calculates an actual input torque which is inputted to the belt-type continuously variable transmission; and

a correcting section that corrects the request torque such that the request torque is reduced if the request torque is greater than the actual input torque by a predetermined value or more.

3. The oil pressure control device according to claim 2, wherein

a value obtained by applying a filtering process of a first time constant to the request torque is defined as a request torque filtered value,

a value obtained by applying a filtering process of a second time constant to the actual input torque is defined as an actual input torque filtered value, the second time constant being shorter than the first time constant, and

the correcting section corrects the request torque on the basis of a ratio between the request torque filtered value and the actual input torque filtered value.

4. The oil pressure control device according to claim 3, wherein

the correcting section corrects such that the request torque filtered value becomes greater than the actual input torque filtered value by a predetermined value or more.

5. The oil pressure control device according to claim 2, wherein

the oil pressure calculating section calculates the oil pressure which is supplied to the hydraulic chamber, on the basis of higher one of the actual input torque and a corrected request torque corrected by the correcting section.
