BELT-TYPE CONTINUOSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION
A belt-type continuously variable transmission includes a primary pulley, a secondary pulley, and a belt wound around the primary pulley and the secondary pulley. A controller performs a process, when performing a low speed position return shift to shift a transmission ratio toward a lowermost speed position while a vehicle is decelerating. The process includes: calculating a primary pressure actual lower limit, at which the belt actually starts to slip, based on the transmission ratio and a deceleration of the vehicle; setting a lower limit of a setpoint of the primary pressure to the primary pressure actual lower limit; setting the primary pressure actual lower limit higher with a locking tendency of a vehicle wheel detected than that without the locking tendency detected; and setting the primary pressure actual lower limit with the locking tendency detected to increase as the transmission ratio varies toward the lowermost speed position.

A drivetrain control and a method for controlling a drivetrain where the actual engine torque of the prime mover is taken into account are described herein. Illustrative embodiments include control systems and methods where the ratio set point of the CVT and/or the rate of the CVT ratio change are modified according to the actual engine torque of the prime mover.
Apparatus and method for controlling continuously variable transmission
A vehicle has an engine (1) as a driving source. Output rotation of the engine (1) is transmitted to driving wheels (7) through a torque converter (2) equipped with a lock-up clutch, a first gear train (3), a transmission (4) formed by combination of a variator (20) and an auxiliary transmission (30), a second gear train (5) and a final speed reduction device (6). The second gear train (5) is provided with a parking mechanism (8) that mechanically locks an output shaft of the transmission (4) so that the output shaft of the transmission (4) cannot rotate during parking of the vehicle. A shift speed when down-shift is performed by the variator (20) during a torque-down request to the engine (1) is set to be slower than a shift speed when down-shift is performed by the variator (20) during a non-torque-down request.
CONTROL DEVICE FOR CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION
Provided is a control device for a continuously variable transmission, which is capable of effectively preventing occurrence of surge pressure due to a stroke of a driven pulley being stopped by abutment. The control device for the continuously variable transmission includes a pressure regulating valve regulating an oil pressure of oil supplied from an oil supply source to a cylinder chamber of the driven pulley, a control valve controlling the pressure regulating valve, and a control part controlling the control valve. If the control part determines that a gear ratio of the continuously variable transmission is maximum, as a first condition, when an instructed oil pressure of the control valve for the pressure regulating valve is larger than an oil pressure of oil supplied from the pressure regulating valve to the driven pulley, a control for lowering the instructed oil pressure is performed.
