CONTROL DEVICE FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

摘要

The present application discloses a control device for an automatic transmission mounted in a vehicle including idling stop means for automatically stopping an engine when a predetermined stop condition is satisfied, and restarting the engine when a predetermined restart condition is satisfied in an engine automatically stopped state. The control device for the automatic transmission includes a first friction element and a second friction element fastened in a starting stage of the automatic transmission; and hydraulic-pressure controlling means for controlling hydraulic pressure for fastening the first and second friction elements. The first friction element includes a return spring that urges a piston of the first friction element to a release side. The second friction element includes a friction plate, a pressing piston that presses the friction plate, and a clearance adjustment piston that supports the pressing piston so as to allow relative movement of the pressing piston.

1. A control device for an automatic transmission mounted in a vehicle including idling stop means for automatically stopping an engine when a predetermined stop condition is satisfied, and restarting the engine when a predetermined restart condition is satisfied in an engine automatically stopped state, the control device for the automatic transmission comprising:
a first friction element and a second friction element fastened in a starting stage of the automatic transmission; and hydraulic-pressure controlling means for controlling hydraulic pressure for fastening the first and second friction elements, wherein the first friction element includes a return spring that urges a piston of the first friction element to a release side, wherein the second friction element includes a friction plate, a pressing piston that presses the friction plate, and a clearance adjustment piston that supports the pressing piston so as to allow relative movement of the pressing piston, wherein the pressing piston comes into contact with the friction plate so that a clearance of the friction plate decreases to zero when first hydraulic pressure is supplied to the clearance adjustment piston to move the clearance adjustment piston, wherein when second hydraulic pressure is supplied to the pressing piston in this state, the pressing piston presses the friction plate to cause a fastened state of the second friction element, wherein the hydraulic-pressure controlling means supplies fastening hydraulic pressure to the first friction element to change the first friction element to the fastened state after supplying the second hydraulic pressure to the pressing piston if the engine is restarted by selecting operation, wherein an automatic stop happens to the engine if there is no supply of the fastening hydraulic pressure to the first friction element and no supply of the second hydraulic pressure to the pressing piston whereas the first hydraulic pressure is supplied to the clearance adjustment piston, and wherein the selecting operation switches the automatic stop to a range in which all of the fastening hydraulic pressure, the first hydraulic pressure and the second hydraulic pressure are supplied.
