Patent ID: 7706950

Claim:
A controlling apparatus for a continuously variable transmission, in which the continuously variable transmission is disposed in a power transmitting route extending from a power source for running driving wheels of a vehicle, and the controlling apparatus sets a target rotation speed of an input shaft of the continuously variable transmission based on a target drive force related value related to a target drive force of the driving wheels, and changes a speed-change ratio so that an actual rotation speed of the input shaft coincides with the target rotation speed thereof, wherein the controlling apparatus includes a target drive force related value setting portion which (i) calculates a first target drive force related value based on both an acceleration required amount and a load of an auxiliary machine driven by the power source for running, (ii) calculates a second target drive force related value without considering the auxiliary machine load, and (iii) sets the second target drive force related value as the drive force related value upon a vehicle regular running, the vehicle regular running includes maintaining a vehicle speed at a target vehicle speed by a speed controlling device.
