Transmission oil filter assembly
A transmission filter includes two outlets. One outlet, adapted to feed an engine-driven pump, protrudes diagonally from the front of the filter. The first outlet is sealed to the inlet of the engine-driven pump by a radial seal. The second outlet is arranged in a rear extension and is sealed to the inlet of an electric pump by a compression seal. The differing types of seals and relative orientations of the outlets make the assembly less sensitive to dimension variation due to production and assembly tolerances. The relative locations of the outlets also mitigate any flow interactions between the pumps when both operate simultaneously.
METHOD OF CONTROLLING AN ELECTRIC OIL PUMP OF A VEHICLE
A method of controlling an electric oil pump (EOP) of a vehicle includes: confirming a gear shift type when a gear shift of a vehicle is started; compensating for the number of revolutions of the EOP according to the confirmed gear shift type; confirming whether a measured line pressure converges on a command line pressure while the compensating for the number of revolutions of the EOP according to the gear shift type is performed; and, when it is determined that the measured line pressure does not converge on the command line pressure, additionally compensating for the number of revolutions of the EOP.
Line pressure control method for DCT
A line pressure control method for a double clutch transmission (DCT) includes estimating a line pressure, which decreases with stoppage of an electric oil pump, based on a linear regression model using state variables of the DCT that are related to a line pressure change, and driving the electric oil pump when the line pressure estimated based on the linear regression model reaches a predetermined lower limit.
CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD OF CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION
Disclosed is lateral pressure control of a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with a transmission ratio changed by changing groove widths of a drive pulley and a driven pulley, a drive force from a drive source being transmitted to a wheel. A control part controlling respective lateral pressures of the drive pulley and the driven pulley is provided. The control part sets an increase correction amount of the lateral pressure of the drive pulley to a first lateral pressure increase correction amount if the CVT is not in an in-gear state or a shift position is consistent with a traveling direction of the vehicle, and, sets said amount to a second lateral pressure increase correction amount smaller than the first lateral pressure increase correction amount if the CVT is in the in-gear state and the shift position is not consistent with the traveling direction of the vehicle.
METHOD FOR CONTROLLING EOP OF HYBRID VEHICLE
A method for controlling an electric oil pump (EOP) of a hybrid vehicle may include determining whether or not the hybrid vehicle is in a decelerating situation in an EV mode, driving the EOP at an RPM at a point L, corresponding to a minimum RPM of the EOP to form a target line pressure of a transmission, upon determining that the hybrid vehicle is decelerating in the EV mode, determining whether or not an RPM of a turbine is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference RPM, and driving the EOP at an RPM acquired by adding a predetermined additional RPM to secure an additional flow rate of automatic transmission fluid supplied to a balance chamber of an engine clutch to the RPM at the point L, upon determining that the RPM of the turbine is equal to or greater than the predetermined reference RPM.

Hydraulic control device
The disclosure provides a hydraulic control device capable of suppressing an excessive increase in the rotation speed of a second pump and stabilizing the discharge pressure of the second pump. The target rotation speed of the second pump for making a pressure value of a first oil close to an estimated value of a pressure value of a third oil is calculated, and a feedback amount with respect to the target rotation speed is calculated by subtracting the estimated value of the pressure value of the third oil from the pressure value of the first oil detected by a hydraulic sensor. Time regions for performing calculation of the feedback amount include an update region in which the feedback amount with respect to the target rotation speed is updated, and a hold region in which update of the feedback amount with respect to the target rotation speed is temporarily stopped.
CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR VEHICLE
A control device for a vehicle having: an engine; a variator arranged downstream of the engine in a power transmission path connecting the engine and drive wheels; a mechanical oil pump that is driven by the engine and supplies hydraulic pressure to the variator; and an electric oil pump that supplies hydraulic pressure to the variator, wherein the control device for the vehicle has a controller that executes a low standby control which downshifts the variator by moving a belt of the variator in a radial direction during stopping of the vehicle. The controller limits an output of the engine and increases an amount of oil discharged by the electric oil pump when executing the low standby control.
