Milling Machine with Hydraulically Actuated Rotor Drive Transmission
A milling machine includes a rotor drive transmission having a plurality of gears disposed between a prime mover and a cutting rotor. The rotor drive transmission is associated with a rotor transmission hydraulic circuit including a hydraulic gearshift actuator to engage the plurality of gears in one or more gear ratios and a gearshift directional control valve to direct hydraulic fluid to and from the hydraulic gearshift actuator. In occurrence of a fault condition, the rotor transmission hydraulic circuit includes a gearshift trapping valve to maintain hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic gear actuator and the engaged gear ratio of the rotor drive transmission.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICULAR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The present invention addresses the problem of obtaining an electronic control device for a vehicular automatic transmission that suppresses sudden acceleration, sudden deceleration, and gear shift shock that occur when the transmission moves into a fail-safe mode due to the electronic control device stopping during a main CPU abnormality. An electronic control device 100 for a vehicular automatic transmission has: a main CPU 3 that performs gear shift control for the vehicular automatic transmission; and a sub-CPU 4 that detects abnormalities in the main CPU 3. When the sub-CPU 4 detects an abnormality in the main CPU 3 while the vehicle is traveling, the sub-CPU 4 stops the gear shift control executed by the main CPU 3. Next, when the control status of the vehicular automatic transmission is in a state of maintaining the gear position, the sub-PCU 4 continues the maintaining of the gear position; when the control status is in a state of changing the gear position, the sub-PCU 4 continues a gear shift operation for the gear position, and, instead of the main CPU 3, performs alternative control for maintaining the gear position after the gear position is changed. Subsequently, as a result of a stop in the traveling of the vehicle, the sub-PCU 4 finishes the alternative control and abnormally stops the electronic control of the automatic transmission.
