Patent ID: 8246519

Claim:
An automatic clutch control apparatus comprising a clutch mechanism that is disposed between a drive source and a transmission, and due to a clutch stroke position changing, engages and disengages the drive source and the transmission with each other; a fluid pressure generating means that generates an working fluid pressure for changing the clutch stroke position of the clutch mechanism, and causes the working fluid pressure to act on the clutch mechanism via a fluid pressure acting path; and a stroke position detecting means for detecting the clutch stroke position of the clutch mechanism by detecting the operating position of the fluid pressure generating means; wherein based on the clutch stroke position detected with the stroke position detecting means, the operating position of the fluid pressure generating means is adjusted to change the clutch stroke position of the clutch mechanism; the automatic clutch control apparatus comprising: a temperature change amount recognizing means that detects or estimates an amount of change in the temperature of the working fluid; a revolutions detecting means that detects the number of revolutions of an input side or an output side of the clutch mechanism; and a fluid pressure control means that, when the amount of change in the temperature of the working fluid that has been detected or estimated with the temperature change amount recognizing means has reached a predetermined control switching temperature change amount, controls operation of the fluid pressure generating means based on the number of revolutions of the input side or the output side of the clutch mechanism detected with the revolutions detecting means.
