[Shifting action]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an engagement operation table for the seventh forward speed and the first reverse speed in the automatic transmission gear transmission according to the first embodiment. When the clutches C1, C2, C3 and brakes B1, B2, B3, B4 are in a normal state, as shown in the engagement operation table of FIG. ) And release pressure (no mark). Each solenoid is controlled to achieve these fastening states.

(About precharge control)
Precharge is a control that compensates for the piston loss stroke by fully opening each of the pressure regulating valves CV1 to CV6 and supplying the line pressure PL to the friction engagement element for a predetermined time. In the case of the automatic transmission AT according to the first embodiment, for example, when the current shift speed is 7th, when the driver depresses the accelerator pedal, a downshift request is output and the state before the target shift speed is determined Then, a plurality of target shift speeds such as the sixth speed, the fifth speed, the fourth speed, and the third speed are generated (hereinafter, a shift speed at which the possibility of shifting before the target shift speed is determined is referred to as a temporary shift speed). Here, the degree to which the driver depresses the accelerator pedal cannot be determined when the downshift request is output. Therefore, normally, for example, an APO change rate representing a change in driving point is obtained until a predetermined time that is considered to be settled, or even before the predetermined time elapses. Until the predetermined value is reached, the determination of the target shift stage is prohibited. Then, after a predetermined time elapses after the downshift request is output or before the predetermined time elapses and the APO change rate becomes equal to or smaller than a predetermined value, the target shift stage is determined and the downshift is executed.

  At this time, if the precharge is not performed after the downshift request is output and the target shift speed is determined, and the precharge is started after the target shift speed is determined, the responsiveness is deteriorated. In particular, it takes time to precharge the piston of the friction engagement element from the release position to the engagement position, and torque cannot be transmitted during this period. Therefore, even before the target shift speed is determined, it is conceivable to secure shift response by precharging the friction engagement elements that are engaged at the temporary shift speed in advance.

  However, since the line pressure PL is generally set based on the accelerator pedal opening and the engine torque, if the precharge time is increased when the line pressure PL is low, compensation for the piston loss stroke due to precharge is made. When the end timing varies and the target gear position is determined and then the shift is executed, the shift shock worsens due to the engine speed rising due to insufficient fastening force, and the inertia phase with insufficient gear ratio changes. There was a risk of causing a reduction in the shift response. Therefore, in the first embodiment, when precharging is performed after a downshift request is output, precharging is performed after increasing the line pressure PL according to the shift type (the flow rate required for the frictional engagement element to be engaged). It was.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing precharge control according to the first embodiment.
In step S1, it is determined whether or not a shift request is output. If there is a shift request, the process proceeds to step S2, and otherwise, the control flow ends.
In step S2, the precharge line pressure PLpre is calculated from the shift type. Specifically, in a friction engagement element that needs to be precharged after a shift request, the value obtained by multiplying the piston area by the stroke amount is divided by a preset target stroke time to calculate the required flow rate. Then, the precharge line pressure PLpre is calculated based on the required flow rate. That is, since the piston area and stroke amount vary depending on the frictional engagement element, the required flow rate is also different. Therefore, by calculating the precharge line pressure PLpre according to the shift type, the piston stroke can be obtained approximately at the target stroke time. . In addition, what is necessary is just to total the required flow volume of each friction engaging element, when precharging to several friction engaging elements.

  In step S3, the first delay time T1 is calculated based on the precharge line pressure PLpre. FIG. 5 is a first delay time map in the precharge control according to the first embodiment. The larger the precharge line pressure PLpre, the longer the time required for the actual line pressure PL to rise. Therefore, the line pressure is stabilized by increasing the first delay time T1.

  In step S4, it is determined whether or not there is an ON request for the electric oil pump EOP. If there is an ON request, the process proceeds to step S5, and if there is no ON request, the process proceeds to step S6. That is, the ATCU 20 calculates the current discharge flow rate of the oil pump OP based on the engine speed, and determines whether or not the precharge line pressure PLpre can be achieved with this discharge flow rate. When it is determined that the precharge line pressure PLpre cannot be achieved, a line pressure increase request signal is output to the MCU 30 to operate the electric oil pump EOP. As a result, the necessary precharge line pressure PLpre can be ensured even when the engine speed is low, such as downshift.

  In step S5, the final delay time T0 is calculated by adding the second delay time T2, which is the pressure increase time by the electric oil pump EOP, to the first delay time T1. When the electric oil pump EOP is operated, it takes time to increase the rotation speed of the electric oil pump EOP, and the oil filling time in the oil passage 100 between the electric oil pump EOP and the line pressure oil passage is required. That's why. On the other hand, when the electric oil pump EOP is not operated, the process proceeds to step S6, and the first delay time T1 is set as the delay time T0.

In step S7, the line pressure PL is set to PLpre to perform line pressure increase control, and the delay counter starts counting up.
In step S8, it is determined whether or not the count value T of the delay counter is greater than or equal to the delay time T0. If it is greater than or equal to T0, the process proceeds to step S9. If it is less than T0, the process returns to step S7 to continue the line pressure increase control.
In step S9, precharge is started. Specifically, the pressure regulating valve of the frictional engagement element corresponding to the transmission type is fully opened.
In step S10, the pressure regulating valve of the frictional engagement element corresponding to the transmission type is fully opened, and precharging is started.
In step S10, it is determined whether or not the piston stroke of the frictional engagement element corresponding to the shift type has been completed. If completed, the process proceeds to step S11. If not completed, the process returns to step S9 to continue the precharge. . The piston stroke state is detected by, for example, a sensor that detects the engagement pressure of the frictional engagement element and when the engagement pressure becomes higher than the hydraulic pressure considering the return spring reaction force or friction, or a sensor that directly detects the stroke state. There is no particular limitation.
In step S11, the line pressure PL is changed from the precharge line pressure PLpre to the normal line pressure PLnor.

FIG. 6 is a time chart showing precharge control during downshift in the automatic transmission according to the first embodiment.
When a downshift request is determined at time t1, the line pressure is increased to the precharge line pressure PLpre. At this time, the electric oil pump EOP is operated because the oil pump OP alone cannot achieve the precharge line pressure PLpre.
When the delay time T0 elapses at time t2, precharging is started and the control valve of the frictional engagement element corresponding to the shift type is fully opened. At this time, because the precharge line pressure PLpre is calculated based on the target stroke time, the piston stroke can be completed in a stable precharge time.
When the piston stroke is completed at time t3, the control valve is fully opened and the fastening pressure is gradually increased. Then, the inertia phase starts from time t4, and the downshift ends at time t5.

As described above, the effects listed below can be obtained in the first embodiment.
(1) An automatic transmission AT that achieves multiple shift speeds by combining a plurality of frictional engagement elements B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, and C3, and friction engagement elements B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, and C3 Between the pressure regulating valves CV1, CV2, CV3, CV4, CV5, CV6 (control valves) that control the fastening pressure based on the valve opening amount, and between the oil pump OP and the pressure regulating valves CV1, CV2, CV3, CV4, CV5, CV6 A pressure regulator valve PRV (line pressure control valve) that controls the line pressure PL, and an ATCU20 (controller) that controls the pressure regulating valves CV1, CV2, CV3, CV4, CV5, CV6 and the pressure regulator valve PRV. In preparation, the ATCU 20 increases the line pressure to a height corresponding to the type of the frictional engagement element when precharging the frictional engagement element in the released state by fully opening the pressure regulating valve and supplying the engagement pressure.
Therefore, the precharge time can be stabilized regardless of the transmission type.

(2) The ATCU 20 starts precharging after the delay time T0 (predetermined time) has elapsed after raising the line pressure to a height corresponding to the type of frictional engagement element.
Therefore, the precharge can be performed after the fluctuation of the hydraulic pressure accompanying the increase in the line pressure is stabilized, and the time required for completing the piston stroke can be stabilized.

(3) The ATCU 20 increases the first delay time T1 (predetermined time) as the line pressure is higher.
Therefore, the higher the line pressure, the longer it takes for the oil pressure to stabilize. By increasing the first delay time T1, the line pressure can be stabilized and the precharge time can be stabilized.

(4) The oil pump has an oil pump OP (first pump) driven by an engine and an electric oil pump EOP (second pump) driven by an electric motor. In addition to the oil pump OP, electric oil When driving the pump EOP, the second delay time T2 (second predetermined time) is added to the first delay time T1.
When the electric oil pump EOP is operated, it takes time to increase the rotation speed of the electric oil pump EOP, and the oil filling time in the oil passage 100 between the electric oil pump EOP and the line pressure oil passage is required. It becomes. Therefore, when the electric oil pump EOP is operated, the second delay time T2 is added to stabilize the line pressure and start precharging, so that the precharging time can be stabilized. In addition, the precharge time can be stabilized even when a plurality of precharges are performed by increasing the number of provisional shift stages as the number of stages increases.

  The present invention has been described based on the first embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and other configurations may be used. For example, in the first embodiment, the description has been given of the automatic transmission of the seventh forward speed and the first reverse speed. However, the automatic transmission may be further multi-staged, or may be applied to an automatic transmission having fewer forward speed stages. . In the first embodiment, the first delay time T1 is secured to some extent, but may be 0. Further, the second delay time T2 is set as a constant value, but may be variable according to the discharge amount required for the electric oil pump EOP.
