Hydraulic control apparatus for vehicular automatic transmission |
摘要 |
Providing a hydraulic control apparatus for a vehicular automatic transmission, which makes it possible to design an oil pump with a reduced delivery capacity, thereby permitting an improvement of fuel economy of a vehicle.;The hydraulic control apparatus includes a supply passage connecting/disconnecting valve 114A which is operated, in synchronization with a switching operation of a lock-up relay valve 114, to apply a modulator pressure PM via an orifice 118 to a lock-up clutch 18, for placing the lock-up clutch 18 in the lock-up on state, and to inhibit the application of the modulator pressure PM to the lock-up clutch 18, for placing the lock-up clutch 18 in its lock-up off state. Accordingly, the modulator pressure PM via the orifice 118 is not applied to the lock-up clutch 18 when the lock-up clutch 18 is placed in the lock-up off state, so that a total amount of flow and consumption of the working oil is reduced, making it possible to design the oil pump 20 with a reduced delivery capacity, thereby permitting an improvement of fuel economy of the vehicle. |

1. A hydraulic control apparatus for a vehicular automatic transmission, which is provided with a first pressure regulating valve of a pressure-relief type for regulating a pressure of a working oil delivered from an oil pump, to a first line pressure, a second pressure regulating valve for regulating said first line pressure of the working oil discharged from said first pressure regulating valve, to a second line pressure, and a lock-up switching valve for switching a lock up clutch provided in a fluid-operated power transmitting device, between its lock-up on state and its lock-up off state, by selecting respective passages of supply of the working oil of said second line pressure to said fluid-operated power transmitting device, said hydraulic control apparatus being configured such that the working oil of a third hydraulic pressure obtained on the basis of said first line pressure is supplied to said lock-up clutch with said lock-up switching valve, in addition to the working oil of said second line pressure, said hydraulic control apparatus comprising:
a supply passage connecting/disconnecting valve which is operated, in synchronization with a switching operation of said lock-up switching valve, to supply the working oil of said third hydraulic pressure to said lock-up clutch, when the lock-up clutch is placed in the lock-up on state, and to inhibit the supply of the working oil of said third hydraulic pressure to said lock-up clutch, when the lock-up clutch is placed in its lock-up off state. |
