Abstract:
A hydraulic circuit device for a vehicle, includes a clutch, a flow path, a fluid pump, a pressure generating device, and a control valve. The control valve is configured to determine whether a transmission start-stop function activation condition other than a vehicle speed is satisfied, determine whether a system start-stop function activation condition related to a component of the vehicle is satisfied, the component being other than the transmission, determine whether the vehicle speed is equal to or lower than a first speed threshold, and boost a line pressure of the flow path to accumulate pressure in the pressure generating device for preparing activation of the start-stop function if it is determined that the transmission start-stop function activation condition and the system start-stop function activation condition are satisfied, and if it is determined that the vehicle speed is equal to or lower than the first speed threshold.

Claim (Index 6):
A line pressure boosting method for a hydraulic circuit in a vehicle, comprising:\n determining whether a transmission start-stop function activation condition other than a vehicle speed is satisfied; determining whether a system start-stop function activation condition related to a component of the vehicle is satisfied, the component being other than the transmission; determining whether a second vehicle speed condition in which the vehicle speed increases to be larger than a second speed threshold before a first predetermined time elapses is satisfied, the second speed threshold being higher than a first speed threshold; determining whether a first disablement condition in which the vehicle speed decreases to be less than or equal to the first speed threshold while the line pressure is boosted and a first predetermined time elapses is satisfied; determining whether a second disablement condition in which the vehicle stops and a second predetermined period elapses is satisfied; and stopping boosting a line pressure of the hydraulic circuit to accumulate pressure in a pressure generating device for preparing for activation of a start-stop function of the vehicle, if it is determined that the transmission start-stop function activation condition and the system start-stop function activation condition are satisfied, and if it is determined that at least one of the second vehicle speed condition, the first disablement condition, and the second disablement condition is satisfied.
