Abstract:
1. A belt clamping pressure setting device comprising: a belt clamping pressure setting unit that sets a belt clamping pressure of a continuously variable transmission that includes an input-side pulley, an output-side pulley, and a belt running between the input-side pulley and the output-side pulley; an input revolution detection sensor that detects a number of input revolutions of the input-side pulley; an output revolution detection sensor that detects a number of output revolutions of the output-side pulley; an input torque detection unit that detects an input torque to the input-side pulley; a reference clamping pressure computing unit that computes a reference clamping pressure, based on the number of input revolutions detected by the input revolution detection sensor, the number of output revolutions detected by the output revolution detection sensor, and the input torque detected by the input torque detection unit; and a belt clamping pressure computing unit that computes the belt clamping pressure to be set by the belt clamping pressure setting unit based on the reference clamping pressure and a correction value computed in accordance with the number of input revolutions detected by the input revolution detection sensor or a torque fluctuation frequency obtained from the number of input revolutions.
