The control gear of stepless speed variator and controlling method
The present invention relates to the control gear and the controlling method of variable v-belt drive, this variable v-belt drive has a pair of by the variable effective diameter belt wheel of Driven by Hydraulic Cylinder and the driving belt of the described belt wheel of reeling.Especially, the present invention relates to set the technology of basic pressure of the hydraulic pressure of each oil hydraulic cylinder.
As known to the public, be used to control and have a pair of variable effective diameter belt wheel and the control gear of the variable v-belt drive of the driving belt of the described belt wheel of the reeling basic pressure that suitably to set the hydraulic pressure of each oil hydraulic cylinder by Driven by Hydraulic Cylinder.
For example, the JP2728466 explanation is used for the hydraulic control device of hydraulic driving speed change gear.The cited speed change gear of this patent is to have primary pulley, secondary pulley, and the stepless speed variator of the band of coiling primary pulley and secondary pulley.The gear ratio of controlling stepless speed variator by the operation of primary belt wheel is to reach target change gear ratio.At this moment, control the power (band clamping force) that clamps band by the operation secondary pulley thus avoid primary pulley be with between slip and the slip between secondary pulley and the band.Described hydraulic control device is based on the speed change of input torque and stepless speed variator controlling plumbing fixtures hydraulic pressure recently, the basic pressure of the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic chamber of hydraulic pressure that this pipeline hydraulic pressure is the hydraulic chamber of primary pulley (hereinafter will be expressed as " primary hydraulic pressure ") and secondary pulley (hereinafter will be expressed as " secondary hydraulic pressure ").That is, by this way, hydraulic control device improves the gear shift response, avoids band to slide, and increases power transfer efficiency.
The oil hydraulic circuit that hydraulic control device had directly supplies to the secondary pulley side hydraulic chamber with pipeline hydraulic pressure, thereby makes pipeline hydraulic pressure and secondary hydraulic pressure equal substantially each other.Therefore, although pipeline hydraulic pressure can be set to the required level of groove width that suitably changes secondary pulley, also have the possibility that pipeline hydraulic pressure can not be set to the primary hydraulic pressure desired level, this may make the gear shift response variation of stepless speed variator.
In order to overcome this, a kind of selection is to use oil hydraulic circuit, and by oil hydraulic circuit, pipeline hydraulic pressure can be independent of primary and secondary hydraulic pressure and be controlled, and comes controlling plumbing fixtures hydraulic pressure based on primary and secondary hydraulic pressure.Generally speaking, in variable v-belt drive, with the stepless speed variator gear shift and when the result who flows into and flow out the band clamping force that the control of flow of the working oil of primary pulley side hydraulic chamber produces is set up primary hydraulic pressure, secondary hydraulic pressure directly is adjusted to desired value.Similarly, when setting pipeline hydraulic pressure, need to estimate the primary hydraulic pressure value and use it for setting pipeline hydraulic pressure, in fact use the setting value of secondary hydraulic pressure simultaneously.
Primary hydraulic pressure is to keep the constant and required hydraulic pressure of change gear ratio of gear ratio.For example, can calculate primary hydraulic pressure based on the speed (gear ratio variance ratio) that band clamping force, gear ratio and gear ratio change.For example, when by working oil being supplied to primary pulley side hydraulic chamber when stepless speed variator is shifted up, by being added to, necessary gear shift pressure calculates the required primary hydraulic pressure value of groove width that reduces primary pulley in stable equilibrium's pressure, thereby this necessity gear shift pressure is to be used to produce the hydraulic pressure that the groove width that changes primary pulley changes the thrust of gear ratio, and this stable equilibrium's pressure is to be used to the hydraulic pressure that keeps gear ratio constant.
The variance ratio of the target change gear ratio variance ratio as gear ratio is being calculated under the situation of necessary gear shift pressure, when stepless speed variator shifts up and actual gear ratio when lagging behind target change gear ratio, although exist the shift-up of stepless speed variator still continuing this fact, necessity gearshift pressure of shift-up may be zero.Like this, the hydraulic pressure deficiency that is used to shift up, this may reduce the followability to target change gear ratio, and therefore postpones to finish shift-up.
On the other hand, the variance ratio of the actual gear ratio variance ratio as gear ratio is being calculated under the situation of necessary gear shift pressure, when stepless speed variator shifts up and actual gear ratio when lagging behind target change gear ratio, necessity gearshift pressure that is used for shifting up may be less relatively in calculating.Like this, the hydraulic pressure that is used to shift up is also not enough, and this may reduce the followability of target change gear ratio and therefore reduce the gear shift response.
For fear of reducing of this followability to target change gear ratio, with respect to necessary primary hydraulic pressure, pipeline hydraulic pressure need be set highly.Like this, pipeline hydraulic pressure can and can reduce fuel economy greater than requirement.
The purpose of this invention is to provide the control gear and the controlling method of variable v-belt drive, it suitably calculates the hydraulic pressure of the oil hydraulic cylinder of primary pulley, and this hydraulic pressure is used for setting pipeline hydraulic pressure when stepless speed variator shifts up.

When shift level 74 is operated into " R " position, the hydraulic path conversion in the manually operated valve 120, thus will export hydraulic pressure P by retreating drive output port 120r LM2Drive delivery pressure and supply to and retreat-drive break B1 as retreating, and the working oil among the clutch C1 that advances-drive is discharged (discharging) by forward drive delivery outlet 120f and floss hole EX and is entered ambient pressure, retreats-drive that break B1 is engaged and the clutch C1 that advances-drive is released thereby make.
In addition, when shift level 74 is operated into " P " position or " N " position, hydraulic path conversion in the manually operated valve 120, thereby make hydraulic channel and all interrupt to the hydraulic channel that retreats drive output port 120r from inlet opening 120a from inlet opening 120a to forward drive delivery outlet 120f, advance-drive clutch C1 and retreat-drives working oil among the break B1 all by manually operated valve 120 discharges, thus make advance-drive clutch C1 with retreat-drive break B1 and all be released.
Shift-up gear ratio control valve 114 has: slide valve 114a, but this slide valve axial motion also optionally is set to the shift-up position, pipeline hydraulic pressure P on this shift-up position LBe fed into input side variable pulley 42 by inlet opening 114i and I/O port 114j, I/O port 114k closes and is in initial position, and input side variable pulley 42 communicates with I/O port 114k by I/O port 114j on this initial position; Spring 114b, this spring 114b are the push mechanism that promotes slide valve 114a to the initial position of slide valve 114a; Hydraulic chamber 114c, this hydraulic chamber 114c hold spring 114b and receive control hydraulic pressure P DS2Thereby, on the direction of the initial position of slide valve 114a, be slide valve 114a applied thrust; Hydraulic chamber 114d, this hydraulic chamber 114d receive control hydraulic pressure P DSIThereby, on the direction of the shift-up position of slide valve 114a, be slide valve 114a applied thrust.
Similarly, downshift gear ratio control valve 116 has: slide valve 116a, but this slide valve 116a axial motion also optionally is set to the downshift position, I/O port 116j is arranged on the initial position that communicates with floss hole EX on this downshift position, and I/O port 116j communicates with I/O port 116k on this initial position; Spring 116b, this spring 116b are the push mechanism that promotes slide valve 116a to the initial position of slide valve 116a; Hydraulic chamber 116c, this hydraulic chamber 116c hold spring 116b and receive control hydraulic pressure P DS1Thereby, on the direction of the initial position of slide valve 116a, be slide valve 116a applied thrust; Hydraulic chamber 116d, this hydraulic chamber 116d receive control hydraulic pressure P DS2Thereby, on the direction of the downshift position of slide valve 116a, be slide valve 116a applied thrust.
In the shift-up gear ratio control valve 114 and downshift gear ratio control valve 116 of above-mentioned structure, when shift-up gear ratio control valve 114 is closed and slide valve 114a when remaining on initial position under the thrust of spring 114b, shown in the left side of the center line that extends through shift-up gear ratio control valve 114 and downshift gear ratio control valve 116 among Fig. 3, I/O port 114j and I/O port 114k communicate with each other, so the working oil in the input side variable pulley 42 (input side oil hydraulic cylinder 42c) is allowed to flow into I/O port 116j.When downshift gear ratio control valve 116 is closed and slide valve 116a when remaining on initial position under the thrust of spring 116b, shown in the right side of the center line of Fig. 3, I/O port 116j and I/O port 116k communicate with each other, and therefore allow thrust to output to I/O port 114k from thrust than control valve than control hydraulic pressure P τ.
When controlling hydraulic pressure P DS1To control hydraulic pressure P under the thrust that produces DS1When supplying to oil hydraulic cylinder 114d, slide valve 114a moves towards the shift-up position against the active force of spring 114b, shown in the center line right side of Fig. 3.This makes pipeline hydraulic pressure P LBy I/O port 114j with corresponding to control hydraulic pressure P DS1Flow supply to input side oil hydraulic cylinder 42c from slide valve 114a, and close I/O port 114k, interrupt flowing into the working oil of downshift gear ratio control valve 116.Similarly, corresponding the reducing of groove width of the V-type groove of gear shift pilot pressure Pin increase and input side variable pulley 42, thus change gear reduces, and promptly stepless speed variator 18 shifts up.
On the other hand, when controlling hydraulic pressure P DS2To control hydraulic pressure P under the thrust that produces DS2When supplying to oil hydraulic cylinder 116d, slide valve 116a moves towards the downshift position against the active force of spring 116b, shown in the center line left side of Fig. 3.This makes the working oil among the input side oil hydraulic cylinder 42c emit from floss hole EX by I/O port 114j, I/O port 114k and I/O port 116j.Similarly, gear shift pilot pressure Pin reduces and the corresponding increase of groove width of the V-type groove of input side variable pulley 42, thereby change gear increases, i.e. stepless speed variator 18 downshifts.
Therefore, pipeline hydraulic pressure P LBasic pressure as gear shift pilot pressure Pin.When exporting control hydraulic pressure P DS1The time, be input to the pipeline hydraulic pressure P of shift-up gear ratio control valve 114 LSupply to input side oil hydraulic cylinder 42c with increase gear shift pilot pressure Pin, thereby stepless speed variator 18 is shifted up continuously.As output control hydraulic pressure P DS2The time, the working oil among the input side oil hydraulic cylinder 42c emits reducing gear shift pilot pressure Pin from floss hole EX, thereby makes stepless speed variator 18 continuous downshifts.
For example, based target input shaft rotating speed N IN *With actual input shaft rotating speed N INBetween poor (Δ N IN(=N IN *-N IN)) control the gear shift of stepless speed variator 18, thus make actual input shaft rotating speed N INEqual target input shaft rotating speed N IN *By with vehicle velocity V and accelerator operation amount A CCBe applied to vehicle velocity V and target input shaft rotating speed N IN *In the relation of prestoring between (being the target input speed of stepless speed variator 18), come target setting input shaft rotating speed N IN *, this vehicle velocity V and accelerator operation amount A CCIt is the parameter of expression automobile runs state.This pass ties up in as shown in Figure 4 the gearshift map and defines accelerator operation amount A in this gearshift map CCAs parameter.Promptly carry out feedback control, thereby make change gear along with the change of the groove width of the V-type groove of the groove width of the V-type groove of input side variable pulley 42 and outlet side variable pulley 46 and continuously change, the groove width of the groove width of the V-type groove of input side variable pulley 42 and the V-type groove of outlet side variable pulley 46 supplies to input side oil hydraulic cylinder 42c along with working oil or changes from wherein giving off.
With the formal definition of gearshift map among Fig. 4 the shift condition of stepless speed variator 18, and by formulism with target setting input shaft rotating speed N IN *Thereby, make reduction and the accelerator operation amount A of change gear along with the speed of a motor vehicle CCIncrease and increase.Equally, because the corresponding output shaft rotational speed N of vehicle velocity V OUT, as input shaft rotating speed N INThe target input shaft rotating speed N of desired value IN *Corresponding target speed change ratio gamma *(=N IN */ N OUT), and be set in the minimum change gear min and the scope between the maximum change gear max of stepless speed variator 18.
Simultaneously, control hydraulic pressure P DS1Supply to the hydraulic chamber 116c of downshift gear ratio control valve 116, thereby downshift gear ratio control valve 116 is closed and is not considered to control hydraulic pressure P DS2, so the downshift of stepless speed variator 18 is limited, and control hydraulic pressure P DS2Supply to the hydraulic chamber 114c of shift-up gear ratio control valve 114, thereby shift-up gear ratio control valve 114 is closed and is not considered to control hydraulic pressure P DS1, so the shift-up of stepless speed variator 18 is under an embargo.Promptly as control hydraulic pressure P DS1With control hydraulic pressure P DS2When being supplied to simultaneously, and control hydraulic pressure P DS1With control hydraulic pressure P DS2When all not being supplied to, shift-up gear ratio control valve 114 and downshift gear ratio control valve 116 keep closing, and slide valve 114a and 116a remain on their initial position.In this layout, even in some faults that occur owing to electric power system, one among solenoid valve DS1, the DS2 can not turn round, and therefore controls hydraulic pressure P DS1Or control hydraulic pressure P DS2Continue the situation with maximum horizontal output, also can avoid the slip of stepless speed variator 18 shift-ups or downshift and driving belt 48, the slip of this driving belt 48 can be caused by the shaping gear shift (shape shifting) of stepless speed variator 18 in addition.
Simultaneously, clamping force control valve 110 has: slide valve 110a, but 110a axial motion of this slide valve and opening and closing inlet opening 110i, thereby with pipeline hydraulic pressure P LSupply to delivery outlet 110t from inlet opening 110i, so strap clamp compaction forces Pd outputs to outlet side variable pulley 46 and thrust than control valve 118; Spring 110b, this spring 110b are the push mechanism that promotes slide valve 110a on the opening of valves direction; Hydraulic chamber 110c, this hydraulic chamber 110c hold spring 110b and receive control hydraulic pressure P SLSThereby, be slide valve 110a applied thrust on the opening of valves direction; Feedback hydraulic chamber 110d, this feedback hydraulic chamber 110d receives from the strap clamp compaction forces Pd of delivery outlet 110t output, thereby on the valve closing direction is slide valve 110a applied thrust; Hydraulic chamber 110e, this hydraulic chamber 110e receive and regulate hydraulic pressure P MThereby, be slide valve 110a applied thrust on the valve closing direction.
In the clamping force control valve 110 of above-mentioned structure, will control hydraulic pressure P SLSRegulate pipeline hydraulic pressure P continuously as aux. pressure LThereby, driving belt 48 is not slided, so strap clamp compaction forces Pd exports from delivery outlet 110t.Equally, pipeline hydraulic pressure P LThe basic pressure that is used as strap clamp compaction forces Pd.
For example, adjusting belt clamping pressure Pd is to obtain band clamping force Pd *, this band clamping force Pd *Be by with actual change gear and accelerator operation amount A CCBe applied to change gear and band clamping force Pd *Between relation in and determine (calculating), above-mentioned actual change gear and accelerator operation amount A CCBe the parameter of expression automobile runs state, and above-mentioned change gear and band clamping force Pd *Thereby between relation determine by rule of thumb in advance to avoid band to slide.This relation is with the formal definition of gearshift map shown in Figure 5, wherein the accelerator operation amount A of corresponding transmitting torque CCAs parameter.Then, band clamping force Pd *, promptly between input side variable pulley 42 and the driving belt 48 and the frictional force between outlet side variable pulley 46 and the driving belt 48, reduce according to the strap clamp compaction forces Pd of above-mentioned adjusting.
Simultaneously, thrust has than control valve 118: slide valve 118a, but 118a axial motion of this slide valve and opening and closing inlet opening 118i, thereby with pipeline hydraulic pressure P LSupply to delivery outlet 118t from inlet opening 118i, so thrust outputs to downshift gear ratio control valve 116 than control hydraulic pressure P τ; Spring 118d, this spring 118d are the push mechanism that promotes slide valve 118a on the opening of valves direction; Hydraulic chamber 118c, this hydraulic chamber 118c hold spring 118d and receiving belt clamping pressure Pd, thereby on the opening of valves direction are slide valve 118a applied thrust; Feedback hydraulic chamber 118d, this feedback hydraulic chamber 118d receive the thrust ratio control hydraulic pressure P τ from delivery outlet 118t output, thereby on the valve closing direction are slide valve 118a applied thrust.
As above the structure thrust than control valve 118 in, state of equilibrium is expressed with following expression (3):
Pτ×b＝Pd×a+F s ...(3)
A herein " applied the zone of strap clamp compaction forces Pd among the expression hydraulic chamber 118c, applied the zone of thrust than control hydraulic pressure P τ, " F among " b " expression feedback hydraulic chamber 118d s" Driving force of expression spring 118b.Therefore, thrust is expressed by following formula (4) than control hydraulic pressure P τ, and proportional with strap clamp compaction forces Pd.
Pτ＝Pd×(a/b)+F s/b...(4)
Because control hydraulic pressure P DS1, P DS2All be not supplied to or control hydraulic pressure P DS1, P DS2Supplied with simultaneously, shift-up gear ratio control valve 114 and downshift gear ratio control valve 116 are all closed, and slide valve 114a and 116a all remain under the situation of their initial positions, thrust is fed into input side oil hydraulic cylinder 42c than control hydraulic pressure P τ, thereby makes gear shift pilot pressure Pin equal thrust than control hydraulic pressure P τ.That is to say that thrust is than control hydraulic pressure P τ, promptly the gear shift pilot pressure Pin of certain level exports than control valve 118 from thrust.Above-mentioned level remains the ratio between gear shift pilot pressure Pin and the strap clamp compaction forces Pd value that defines in the predetermined relationship between gear shift pilot pressure Pin and the strap clamp compaction forces Pd.
Simultaneously, for example, when travelling in the minimum velocity range of vehicle below predetermined speed, the validity of the vehicle speed sensor 58 of detection vehicle velocity V is less relatively.Therefore, in this minimum velocity range, travel or when beginning to start, replace eliminating speed discrepancy (rotating speed deviation) Δ N when vehicle from static INAbove-mentioned feedback control, carry out so-called valve closing control, in this valve closing control, control hydraulic pressure P DS1With control hydraulic pressure P DS2Be cut off, thereby shift-up gear ratio control valve 114 and downshift gear ratio control valve 116 are all closed.In this valve closing control, the gear shift pilot pressure Pin of certain level is fed into input side oil hydraulic cylinder 42c, thereby when vehicle from the static slip that begins to start or avoid driving belt 48 when in minimum velocity range, travelling, the strap clamp compaction forces Pd that defines in the level of above-mentioned gear shift pilot pressure Pin and the predetermined relationship between gear shift pilot pressure Pin and strap clamp compaction forces Pd is proportional.If first " (a/b) " and/or " F on above-mentioned representation (4) right side s/ b " setting, make thrust than τ (=outlet side thrust hydraulic cylinder W OuT/ input side thrust hydraulic cylinder W IN, " W herein OuT" be the product of the cross-section area of band clamping force Pd and outlet side oil hydraulic cylinder 46c, " W IN" be the product of the cross-section area of gear shift pilot pressure Pin and input side oil hydraulic cylinder 42c) in the valve closing control, become greater than value corresponding to maximum change gear max; so when vehicle from static when beginning to start; vehicle can drive by maximum change gear max or near the gear ratio of maximum change gear max, so automobile can start reposefully.Above-mentioned predetermined low speed can detect the rotating speed of specific rotary component, for example input shaft rotating speed N corresponding to the lower limit of vehicle speed range in this vehicle speed range INThereby, carry out feedback control, and speed setting is to for example 2km/h.
Fig. 6 is the functional block diagram of the main body control function of explanation electronic control module 50.Referring to Fig. 6, target input rotation configuration part 150 is passed through vehicle velocity V and accelerator operation amount A CcBe applied to as shown in Figure 4, be set at input shaft rotating speed N in the predetermined gearshift map INThe target input shaft rotating speed N of desired value IN *, above-mentioned vehicle velocity V and accelerator operation amount A CCIt is the parameter of expression automobile runs state.
Gear shift control device 152 passes through based on rotation speed difference deltan N IN(=N IN *-N IN) feedback control control the gear shift of stepless speed variator 18, thereby make input shaft rotating speed N INEqual target input shaft rotating speed N IN *, this target input shaft rotating speed N IN *Set by target input rotation configuration part 150.More specifically, when controlling the gear shift of stepless speed variator 18, gear shift control device 152 is with gear shift control command signal (hydraulic pressure order) S TOutput to hydraulic control circuit 100, thereby control flows into and flows out the flow of the working oil of input side oil hydraulic cylinder 42c, thereby the groove width of the V-type groove of the groove width of the V-type groove of change input side variable pulley 42 and outlet side variable pulley 46, therefore change change gear on demand continuously.
Band clamping force configuration part 154 is based on by actual accelerator operation amount A CCWith actual change gear (=N IN/ N OUT) the vehicle operation state determined sets band clamping force Pd *, above-mentioned actual change gear by electronic control module 50 from input shaft rotating speed N INWith the output shaft rotational speed N OUTMiddle calculating.Promptly set the strap clamp compaction forces Pd of outlet side oil hydraulic cylinder 46c on demand, thereby produce band clamping force Pd with clamping force configuration part 154 *
Band clamping force control device 156 passes through clamping force control command signal S BOutput to hydraulic control circuit 100 and increase and reduce to be with clamping force Pd *, this signal S BIndication is adjusted to generation band clamping force Pd with the strap clamp compaction forces Pd of outlet side oil hydraulic cylinder 46c *Required value, this value is set in a manner described by band clamping force configuration part 154.
In hydraulic control circuit 100, operation solenoid valve DS1, DS2 supply to input side oil hydraulic cylinder 42c with control and from the quantity of the working oil that wherein gives off, thereby make stepless speed variator 18 by above-mentioned gear shift control command signal S TThe indication gear shift, operate linear solenoid valve SLS simultaneously, thereby make band clamping force Pd with adjusting belt clamping pressure Pd *As clamping force control command signal S BIndicated in increase and reduce.
Motor output control part 158 output is used for controlling the motor output control command signal S of the output of motor 12 EFor example, motor output control command signal S EComprise the throttle signal that outputs to throttle actuator 76, output to the injection signal of fuel injection system 78, and the ignition timing signal that outputs to ignition mechanism 80.In operation, for example motor output control part 158 is controlled Engine torque T by throttle signal being outputed to throttle actuator 76 E, this throttle signal indication electronic throttle 30 is opened or is closed, thereby reaches corresponding accelerator operation amount A CCThrottle TH
Simultaneously, in order to reach the good shift property of stepless speed variator 18, for example,, need to set the above-mentioned pipeline hydraulic pressure P that is the basic pressure of gear shift pilot pressure Pin and strap clamp compaction forces Pd in order to reach the good gear shift response of stepless speed variator 18 LThereby, make change gear feedback control gear shift pilot pressure Pin desired value (will be called as " necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin ") and obtain band clamping force Pd *The desired value (will be called as " necessary strap clamp compaction forces Pd ") of strap clamp compaction forces Pd can reach in operation.
Promptly as pipeline hydraulic pressure P LDuring greater than necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin and necessary strap clamp compaction forces Pd, the gear shift of stepless speed variator 18 response accelerates, so the possibility that driving belt 48 slides reduces.Yet, if pipeline hydraulic pressure P LGreater than required, fuel economy may significantly reduce so.On the other hand, as pipeline hydraulic pressure P LDuring less than necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin and necessary strap clamp compaction forces Pd, can make the gear shift response of stepless speed variator 18 slack-off.Equally, as pipeline hydraulic pressure P LDuring less than necessary strap clamp compaction forces Pd, the possibility that driving belt 48 slides increases.
In order to overcome this, based on bigger one among necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin and the necessary strap clamp compaction forces Pd, set pipeline hydraulic pressure P as the pipeline hydraulic pressure configuration part 160 of basic pressure configuration part L, this pipeline hydraulic pressure P LSLT is controlled by linear solenoid valve, and this linear solenoid valve SLT is independent of the flow control that flows into and flow out the working oil of input side oil hydraulic cylinder 42c by linear solenoid valve SLS, and by the control of linear solenoid valve SLS to necessary strap clamp compaction forces Pd.
For example, pipeline hydraulic pressure configuration part 160 based on necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin with consider pipeline hydraulic pressure P LControl accuracy and the permitted value that sets of vehicle operation state and, and necessary strap clamp compaction forces Pd with consider pipeline hydraulic pressure P LControl accuracy and the permitted value that sets of vehicle operation state and in bigger one, set pipeline hydraulic pressure P L
Fig. 7 sets pipeline hydraulic pressure P for explanation LThe figure of an example of principle.Referring to Fig. 7, in this exemplary embodiment, use the basic permitted value EX that determines by rule of thumb in advance.The basic permitted value EX of necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin is represented as the basic permitted value EXin of necessary Pin, and the basic permitted value EX of necessary strap clamp compaction forces Pd is represented as the basic permitted value EXd of necessary Pd.Be that basic permitted value EX is set to the different value corresponding to necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin and necessary strap clamp compaction forces Pd.Therefore, with pipeline hydraulic pressure P LBe set at, necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin and the basic permitted value EXin of necessary Pin and, and necessary strap clamp compaction forces Pd and the basic permitted value EXd of necessary Pd with in bigger one, and be used to obtain pipeline hydraulic pressure P LPipeline hydraulic control command signal S PLBe output.
More specifically, necessary strap clamp compaction forces Pd is based on from the clamping force control command signal S of band clamping force control device 156 outputs BBy the hydraulic pressure that operation linear solenoid valve SLS directly regulates, be with clamping force Pd thereby obtain *Therefore, when setting pipeline hydraulic pressure P LThe time, in fact be used to obtain the band clamping force Pd that sets by band clamping force configuration part 154 *Necessity band clamping force Pd.
On the other hand, necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin is reaching target input shaft rotating speed N IN *(or target speed change ratio gamma *) feedback control procedure in, the hydraulic pressure that the result set up of flow control of execution work oil and the control of band clamping force.Be that necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin can not directly regulate.Therefore, need to estimate to be used for pipeline hydraulic pressure P LThe value of necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin of setting.
Necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin comprises stable equilibrium's pressure P C, it is to be used to keep constant hydraulic pressure of change gear and necessary gear shift pressure P V, it is the hydraulic pressure that is used to change change gear.More specifically, when by working oil is emitted groove width with the V-type groove that increases input side variable pulley 42 from input side variable pulley 42, thereby when making stepless speed variator 18 downshifts, gear shift pilot pressure Pin is set equal to stable equilibrium's pressure P C, this stable equilibrium's pressure P CBe to be used to keep the constant hydraulic pressure of change gear.On the other hand, when stepless speed variator 18 shifts up, necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin is set at stable equilibrium's pressure P CWith necessary gear shift pressure P vSum, this necessity gear shift pressure P vBe to produce input side thrust hydraulic cylinder W INNecessary, input side thrust hydraulic cylinder W INIt is required to be that thereby the groove width that reduces the V-type groove of input side variable pulley 42 reduces change gear (changing to γ min side).
For example can be with necessary gear shift pressure P vFunction calculation as the variance ratio (will be called as " gear ratio variance ratio ") of gear ratio.With necessary gear shift pressure P vAs target speed change ratio gamma *Variance ratio be target change gear ratio variance ratio d (γ *Under the situation that the function of)/dt is determined, work as target speed change ratio gamma *Constant and the actual change gear that becomes lags behind target speed change ratio gamma *The time, although the shift-up of stepless speed variator 18 is still continuing necessary gear shift pressure P vAlso can be zero, what this can further postpone to shift up finishes.On the other hand, with necessary gear shift pressure P vAs the variance ratio of actual change gear is under the function of actual gear ratio variance ratio d (the γ)/dt situation about determining, when actual change gear lags behind target speed change ratio gamma *The time, necessary gear shift pressure P vCan become than working as it as target change gear ratio variance ratio d (γ *The function of)/dt and definite little, so the gear shift of stepless speed variator 18 response is slowed down.
In above viewpoint, as the necessary Pin calculating part 162 of primary hydraulic pressure calculating part, based target change gear *With the necessary gear shift pressure P of utilizing it to calculate in the change gear vCalculate the necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin that stepless speed variator 18 is shifted up than big one that calculates with another value.
Fig. 8 is the figure that an example of the principle of calculating the necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin that makes stepless speed variator 18 shift-ups is described.Referring to Fig. 8, when stepless speed variator 18 will shift up, by with necessary gear shift pressure P vWith stable equilibrium's pressure P CNecessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin calculates in the phase Calais, this necessity gear shift pressure P vRepresent by the shadow region among Fig. 8.Calculate necessary gear shift pressure P based on the gear ratio variance ratio v, so that it increases along with the increase of gear ratio variance ratio.
T in Fig. 8 1To t 3, based target gear ratio variance ratio d (γ *)/dt calculates necessary gear shift pressure P v, this target change gear ratio variance ratio is a bigger gear ratio variance ratio during this.From t 3To t 4, calculate necessary gear shift pressure P based on actual gear ratio variance ratio d (γ)/dt v, this actual gear ratio variance ratio is a bigger gear ratio variance ratio during this.By calculating necessary gear shift pressure P in such a way vIf, at t 3To t 4Time durations in, gear-change operation is the target speed change ratio gamma carrying out still *Become constant, then suitably set necessary gear shift pressure P vThereby, make actual change gear follow target speed change ratio gamma *On the other hand, if at t 1To t 3Time durations in the variation of actual change gear lag behind, then suitably calculate necessary gear shift pressure P vThereby, make actual change gear follow target speed change ratio gamma *
Necessary Pin calculating part 162 comprises: stable equilibrium's calculation of pressure portion 164, the 164 calculation stability balance pressure P of this stable equilibrium's calculation of pressure portion CNecessity gear shift calculation of pressure portion 166 is when stepless speed variator 18 shifts up, based on the input shaft rotating speed N that is set by target input rotation configuration part 150 IN, target speed change ratio gamma is calculated by this necessity gear shift calculation of pressure portion 166 *(=N IN/ N OUT) necessary gear shift pressure P vThe necessary gear shift pressure P of M and actual change gear vJ, this target speed change ratio gamma *Calculate by electronic control module 50.Therefore, when stepless speed variator 18 downshifts, necessary Pin calculating part 162 will be by stable equilibrium's pressure P of stable equilibrium's calculation of pressure portion 164 calculating CAs necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin.On the other hand, when stepless speed variator 18 shifts up, the necessary gear shift pressure P that necessary Pin calculating part 162 will be calculated in the above described manner by necessary gear shift calculation of pressure portion 166 vM and necessary gear shift pressure P vBigger one among the J, elect maximum necessary gear shift pressure P as Vmax, obtain maximum necessary gear shift pressure P VmaxWith the stable equilibrium's pressure P that calculates by stable equilibrium's calculation of pressure portion 164 CAnd, and with the hydraulic pressure value obtained as necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin (=Pc+P Vmax).
Simultaneously, stable equilibrium's calculation of pressure portion 164 passes through estimated engine torque value T EOBe applied to relation (arithmetic expression, the P that is formulated with necessary strap clamp compaction forces Pd empirically c=(γ, T IN, necessary Pd) in come calculation stability balance pressure P C, Engine torque value T EOCorresponding to actual change gear and input torque T IN, necessary strap clamp compaction forces Pd is calculated by band clamping force configuration part 154, and above-mentioned arithmetic expression is change gear, input torque T INBe used as variable with necessary strap clamp compaction forces Pd, estimate stable equilibrium's pressure P C
Necessity gear shift calculation of pressure portion 166 passes through target change gear ratio variance ratio d (γ *(arithmetic expression calculates necessary gear shift pressure P among the Pv=(d (γ)/dt)) to the relation that)/dt is applied to be formulated in advance empirically vM, target change gear ratio variance ratio by electronic control module 50 from target speed change ratio gamma *Middle calculating, above-mentioned arithmetic expression is estimated necessary gear shift pressure P with gear ratio variance ratio d (γ)/dt as variable v, and calculate necessary gear shift pressure P by actual gear ratio variance ratio d (γ)/dt is applied to identical relation vJ, actual gear ratio variance ratio is calculated from actual change gear by electronic control module 50.
Engine torque calculating part 168 passes through practical engine speeds N EAnd throttle THBe applied to engine speed N EWith estimated engine torque value T EOBetween relation in come estimated engine torque value T EO, above-mentioned relation is formulated in advance empirically.As shown in Figure 9, this relation is with the formal definition of engine torque map, wherein throttle THAs parameter.
Hereinafter, will describe basic permitted value EX in detail.
Necessary strap clamp compaction forces Pd is the hydraulic pressure that directly is adjusted to certain level, obtains band clamping force Pd on this level *Therefore, the basic permitted value EXd of necessary Pd is set in the basic permitted value of necessary Pd configuration part 170, and this value is determined by rule of thumb in advance and is recorded in the storage, only considers pipeline hydraulic control order S PLWith pipeline hydraulic pressure P LBetween deviation, thereby even pipeline hydraulic pressure P LDepart from pipeline hydraulic control command signal S PL, actual pipeline hydraulic pressure P LAlso become greater than necessary strap clamp compaction forces Pd.
On the other hand, necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin is not directly regulated, but is calculated as estimated value by necessary Pin calculating part 162.Equally, thereby make change gear keep constant, need the allowance of some in order to carry out feedback control.Like this, the basic permitted value EXin of necessary Pin is set in the basic permitted value of necessary Pin configuration part 172, makes it greater than the basic permitted value EXd of necessary Pd, and pipeline hydraulic control command signal S is only considered in the setting of this value PLWith pipeline hydraulic pressure P LBetween deviation.In such a way, set different basic permitted value EX for necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin with strap clamp compaction forces Pd.
Equally, the basic permitted value of necessary Pd configuration part 170 and the basic permitted value of necessary Pin configuration part 172 change basic permitted value EXd of necessary Pd and the basic permitted value EXin of necessary Pin based on the operating condition (travelling state) of vehicle.
For example, when the temperature of working oil is hanged down, with respect to pipeline hydraulic control command signal S PLControlling plumbing fixtures hydraulic pressure P LThe validity variation, so pipeline hydraulic pressure P LWith pipeline hydraulic control command signal S PLTemperature the comparing just often of deviation and working oil become big.Therefore, when the temperature of working oil was low, the basic permitted value of necessary Pd configuration part 170 and the basic permitted value of necessary Pin configuration part 172 made the basic permitted value EXd of necessary Pd and the basic permitted value EXin of the necessary Pin temperature value just often greater than working oil.More specifically, the basic permitted value of necessary Pd configuration part 170 and the basic permitted value of necessary Pin configuration part 172 make basic permitted value EXd of necessary Pd and the basic permitted value EXin of necessary Pin respectively along with the temperature of working oil reduces and increases.Optionally, when working oil is in predetermined low temperature, determines by rule of thumb in advance when the setting of basic permitted value EXd of necessary Pd and the basic permitted value EXin of necessary Pin makes them more normal than working oil temperature and be recorded in the predetermined greatly amount of value in the storage.Normal temperature is that for example engine ignition finishes the temperature that the back is reached.
When vehicle travels with steady state, such as when the speed of a motor vehicle is travelled by constant change gear, thereby the variable quantity of change gear is compared very for a short time with changing when change gear shifts up stepless speed variator 18, it is enough therefore having the little permitted value that suitably changes change gear.Therefore, in this case, compare relative less when the basic permitted value of necessary Pd configuration part 170 and the basic permitted value of necessary Pin configuration part 172 make the basic permitted value EXd of necessary Pd and the basic permitted value EXin of necessary Pin with the gear shift of carrying out stepless speed variator 18.For example, when vehicle travels with steady state, set basic permitted value EXd of necessary Pd and the basic permitted value EXin of necessary Pin, little predetermined amount when making them than the normal gear shift of stepless speed variator 18, this prearranging quatity is determined by rule of thumb in advance and is recorded in the storage.To be change gear be no more than the gear shift of the stepless speed variator 18 that changes in the scope of set rate at the variance ratio of change gear in the normal gear shift of this stepless speed variator 18.
On the other hand, when vehicle driving needs following time of state of fast slewing at stepless speed variator 18, change gear can change fast greater than the speed of set rate, therefore needs big permitted value suitably to increase change gear.Therefore; it is big when in this state, the basic permitted value of necessary Pd configuration part 170 and the basic permitted value of necessary Pin configuration part 172 make the basic permitted value EXin of the basic permitted value EXd of necessary Pd and necessary Pin travel with steady state than the normal gear shift of carrying out stepless speed variator 18 or vehicle.For example, when stepless speed variator 18 fast slewings, predetermined greatly amount when making the basic permitted value EXin of basic permitted value EXd of necessary Pd and necessary Pin than the 18 normal gear shift of carrying out stepless speed variator, this predetermined amount is definite by rule of thumb in advance and be recorded in the storage.Stepless speed variator 18 needs the situation of fast slewing to be, for example, when accelerator pedal 68 quick " depressing-lift gear shift (off-up shift) " thereby vehicle are carried out shown in A line among Fig. 4 when quickening suddenly, or when change gear along input shaft rotating speed N INThreshold level change thereby vehicle when shown in B line among Fig. 4, quickening suddenly.
Equally, the basic permitted value of necessary Pd configuration part 170 and the basic permitted value of necessary Pin configuration part 172 are suitably set basic permitted value EXd of necessary Pd and the basic permitted value EXin of necessary Pin respectively.

Equally, necessary Pin pipeline hydraulic pressure calculating part 176 is by calculating necessary Pin pipeline hydraulic pressure P in the Calais with the basic permitted value EXin of necessary Pin mutually with necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin LIn, the basic permitted value EXin of this necessity Pin is set in a manner described by the basic permitted value of necessary Pin configuration part 172, and necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin is calculated by necessary Pin calculating part 162.
Then, pipeline hydraulic pressure configuration part 160 is with pipeline hydraulic pressure P LDesired value be set at necessary Pd pipeline hydraulic pressure P LD and necessary Pin pipeline hydraulic pressure P LBigger one among the in.In such a way, pipeline hydraulic pressure P LSuitably be set to and obtain the necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin that makes stepless speed variator 18 gear shift, and the minimum that produces the necessary strap clamp compaction forces of band clamping force needs level, thereby obtain desirable shift property and band clamping force.
Yet pipeline hydraulic pressure P is set in pipeline hydraulic pressure configuration part 160 under predetermined upper limit value LThereby, make pipeline hydraulic pressure P LCan not reach excessive level, such as the level that surpasses driving belt 48 permissible loads, even the necessary gear shift pilot pressure Pin that change gear changes by stages and therefore calculated by necessary Pin calculating part 162 becomes excessive, that is, even change gear changes by stages and the necessary gear shift pressure P that therefore calculated by necessary gear shift calculation of pressure portion 166 vIt is excessive that M becomes.This CLV ceiling limit value is a protection value on as shown in Figure 7 the pipeline hydraulic pressure, thereby this value is determined to avoid pipeline hydraulic pressure P in advance by rule of thumb LThe permissible load that surpasses driving belt 48.The protection value can be based on the permissible load of fuel economy and driving belt 48 and determine on this pipeline hydraulic pressure.
Pipeline hydraulic control portion 180 passes through pipeline hydraulic control command signal S PLOutput to hydraulic control circuit 100 and regulate pipeline hydraulic pressure P L, to reach the pipeline hydraulic pressure P that pipeline hydraulic pressure configuration part 160 is set in a manner described LDesired value.
Then, response pipeline hydraulic control command signal S PL, hydraulic control circuit 100 operation linear solenoid valve SLT, thus make pipeline hydraulic pressure P LAccording to pipeline hydraulic control command signal S PLIndication regulate.
