Abstract

Abstract This hydraulic pressure transmission control device is for a vehicle with a transmission system which has, in series in the specified order in the rotational force transmission path, a first transmission mechanism which can be set to any one of several speed stages according to selective supply of hydraulic fluid pressures, and a second transmission mechanism which similarly can be set to any one of several speed stages according to selective supply of hydraulic fluid pressures. It includes a first hydraulic fluid pressure control device which has a first line pressure control valve for supplying it with a first line pressure for being then selectively supplied to the first transmission mechanism as its selective supply of hydraulic fluid pressures; and a second hydraulic fluid pressure control device which has a second line pressure control valve for supplying it with a second line pressure for being then selectively supplied to the second transmission mechanism as its selective supply of hydraulic fluid pressures. Thereby the first and second line pressures can be independently determined according to circumstances. Particularly, the second line pressure control valve may increase the line pressure which it supplies, the lower is the engaged speed stage of the first transmission mechanism, and/or the lower is the engaged speed stage of the second transmission mechanism, and/or the higher is the value of a parameter representing the load on the engine.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 167 words
For a transmission system for a vehicle incorporating an engine, comprising, in series along the rotational power transmission path, a first transmission mechanism which includes at least one friction engaging means and which can be set to any one of a plurality of speed stages according to selection of supply of a first hydraulic fluid pressure to said friction engaging means thereof, and a second transmission mechanism which includes at least one friction engaging means and which can be set to any one of a plurality of speed stages according to selection of supply of a second hydraulic fluid pressure to said friction engaging means thereof: a hydraulic pressure transmission control device, comprising: a first hydraulic fluid pressure control device comprising a first line pressure control valve for generating said first hydraulic fluid pressure; and a second hydraulic fluid pressure control device comprising a second line pressure control valve for generating said second hydraulic fluid pressure at a substantially higher pressure than said first hydraulic fluid pressure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 167 words
For a transmission system for a vehicle incorporating an engine, comprising, in series along the rotational power transmission path, a first transmission mechanism which includes at least one friction engaging means and which can be set to any one of a plurality of speed stages according to selection of supply of a first hydraulic fluid pressure to said friction engaging means thereof, and a second transmission mechanism which includes at least one friction engaging means and which can be set to any one of a plurality of speed stages according to selection of supply of a second hydraulic fluid pressure to said friction engaging means thereof: a hydraulic pressure transmission control device, comprising: a first hydraulic fluid pressure control device comprising a first line pressure control valve for generating said first hydraulic fluid pressure; and a second hydraulic fluid pressure control device comprising a second line pressure control valve for generating said second hydraulic fluid pressure at a substantially higher pressure than said first hydraulic fluid pressure.
