The electric vehicle according to the first embodiment (hereinafter, also simply referred to as a vehicle) is an electric vehicle (also referred to as EV) that travels with only an electric motor as a drive source. A hybrid electric vehicle traveling with the electric motor and the internal combustion engine selectively as a drive source, or a vehicle equipped with only the internal combustion engine may be used without particular limitation.

[Configuration of drive system unit]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this drive system unit is a transmission integrally connected to a drive motor (also simply referred to as an electric motor) 1 as a drive source of a vehicle and an output shaft of the drive motor 1 It has an automatic transmission 2 having an input shaft (hereinafter referred to as an input shaft) 2A, a reduction mechanism 6 connected to the automatic transmission 2, and a differential mechanism 7 connected to the reduction mechanism 6. The left and right side gears of the differential mechanism 7 have axles 7L and 7R to which the drive wheels WD are respectively coupled.

  The automatic transmission 2 has a belt 37 for power transmission, and the belt type continuously variable transmission mechanism (hereinafter also referred to as a variator) 3 in which the primary pulley 30P is disposed so as to be rotatable relative to the input shaft 2A. The continuous mesh type parallel shaft gear transmission mechanism (hereinafter, also referred to as an auxiliary transmission mechanism) 4 connected to the rotation shaft 36 of the secondary pulley 30S and the input shaft 2A so as to bypass the variator 3 and the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 And a direct coupling gear mechanism 20 that directly couples with a rotating shaft 43 which is an output shaft of the automatic transmission 2.

  The variator 3 has a primary pulley 30P consisting of a fixed pulley 31 having a rotary shaft 33 and a movable pulley 32, a secondary pulley 30S consisting of a fixed pulley 34 having a rotary shaft 36 and a movable pulley 35, a primary pulley 30P and a secondary pulley And 30S and a belt 37 wound around the V groove. The rotation shaft 33 of the primary pulley 30P is disposed so as to be rotatable relative to the input shaft 2A.

  FIG. 1 shows the primary pulley 30P, the secondary pulley 30S, and the belt 37 of the variator 3 in the low side and the high side of the gear ratio. The low side is shown on the outer side (the side separated from each other) half of each of the primary pulley 30P and the secondary pulley 30S, and the high side is shown on the inner side (the side close to each other) There is. As for the belt 37, the low side is schematically shown by a solid line, and the high side is schematically shown by a two-dot chain line inside each of the pulleys 30P, 30S. However, the high state indicated by the two-dot chain line only indicates the positional relationship between the pulley and the belt in the radial direction, and the actual belt position does not appear in the inner half of the pulley.

  The adjustment of the transmission ratio by changing the belt winding radius of the primary pulley 30P and the secondary pulley 30S of the variator 3 and the adjustment of the pulley shaft thrust (simply referred to as a thrust), that is, the adjustment of the belt narrowing pressure, the electric actuator and the mechanical reaction force Implemented by the mechanism. A torque cam mechanism is used as a mechanical reaction force mechanism. The torque cam mechanism is constituted by a pair of annular cam members each having a helically inclined cam surface at an end portion, coaxially disposed such that the cam surfaces are in sliding contact with each other, and a pair of cam members In accordance with relative rotation, the pair of cam members come into contact with each other in the axial direction, and the total length of the pair of cam members is changed to adjust the thrust of the rotating members (pulleys 30P, 30S) in pressure contact with one of the cam members. It is

  Here, a torque cam mechanism is used as a mechanical reaction mechanism for any of the primary pulley 30P and the secondary pulley 30S. As a result, the torque cam mechanisms of both pulleys act as a reaction force of the force that the belt 37 presses the primary pulley 30P and the secondary pulley 30S (force to move the pulleys apart), and the thrust according to the transmission torque of the belt 37 Occurs in both pulleys 30P and 30S without using hydraulic pressure or the like. In addition, the primary pulley 30P is equipped with an electric actuator that actively drives one of the pair of cam members to rotate, and the overall length of the pair of cam members is changed to adjust the groove width of the V groove of the primary pulley 30P. Configured as. A mechanism consisting of an electric actuator of the primary pulley 30P and a torque cam mechanism is also referred to as a transmission mechanism 8. On the other hand, the torque cam mechanism of the secondary pulley 30S is also referred to as a thrust generating mechanism 9 in order to generate the thrust of the secondary pulley 30S.

  The thrust generating mechanism 9 has a torque cam mechanism 90 which is an end cam. The torque cam mechanism 90 has a drive cam member 91 fixed to the back of the movable pulley 35, and a driven cam member 92 fixed to the rotary shaft 36 of the fixed pulley 34 adjacent to the drive cam member 91. . The cam members 91 and 92 have their cam surfaces in sliding contact with each other, and generate a thrust in accordance with the rotational phase difference generated at the time of torque transmission. Since the driving torque and the braking torque do not act when the vehicle is stopped or the like, the coil spring 93 is provided to bias the movable pulley 35 in the direction approaching the fixed pulley 34.

  The auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 has a plurality of shift speeds (here, two high and low stages), and is rotatably mounted on a rotation shaft 43 coaxially integral with the rotation shaft 36 of the secondary pulley 30S of the variator 3 The gears 41 and 42 and the gears 44 and 45 fixed so as to integrally rotate with the rotation shaft 46 parallel to the rotation shaft 43 are provided. The gear 41 and the gear 44 are always meshed with each other to constitute a second (high) gear. The gear 42 and the gear 45 are always meshed with each other to constitute a first (low) gear.

  The auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 has a three-position meshing clutch mechanism 5B that selectively switches the second gear and the first gear. The meshing clutch mechanism 5B includes a clutch hub 54 rotating integrally with the rotation shaft 43, a sleeve 55 having internal teeth 55a spline-engaged with external teeth 54a provided on the clutch hub 54, and a shift direction of the sleeve 55 (axial direction And a switching electric actuator 50 B for driving the shift fork 56.

  The gear 41 has external teeth 41 a that can mesh with the internal teeth 55 a of the sleeve 55. The gear 42 has external teeth 42 a that can mesh with the internal teeth 55 a of the sleeve 55. The sleeve 55 sets a neutral position (N), a second gear position (H) for setting a second gear (high gear) which is a high gear ratio, and a first gear (low gear) which is a low gear. And each position with the first speed position (L). The switching electric actuator 50 B drives the shift fork 56 to move the sleeve 55 to the gear 41 side (that is, the second speed position), and engages the internal teeth 55 a of the sleeve 55 with the external teeth 41 a of the gear 41. Thus, the rotating shaft 43 and the gear 41 are integrated, and the second gear is set. When the second gear is set, the driving force output from the driving motor 1 moves the gear 41, the gear 44, and the rotating shaft 46 from the rotating shaft 36 (that is, the rotating shaft 43) of the secondary pulley 30S of the variator 3. Then, it is transmitted to the reduction gear mechanism 6.

  The switching electric actuator 50B drives the shift fork 56 to move the sleeve 55 to the gear 42 side (that is, the first speed position), and the internal teeth 55a of the sleeve 55 mesh with the external teeth 42a of the gear 42. Thus, the rotary shaft 43 and the gear 42 are integrated, and the first gear is set. When the first gear is set, the driving force output from the driving motor 1 moves the gear 42, the gear 45, and the rotating shaft 46 from the rotating shaft 36 (that is, the rotating shaft 43) of the secondary pulley 30S of the variator 3. Then, it is transmitted to the reduction gear mechanism 6. The rotation synchronization control can be performed in order to smoothly mesh the internal teeth 55a of the sleeve 55 with the external teeth 41a of the gear 41 and the external teeth 42a of the gear 42. This eliminates the need for a synchro mechanism at the meshing location.

  The direct coupling gear mechanism 20 includes first and second selectable one-way clutches (hereinafter also referred to as SOWC) 100 and 200, and an input gear (input gear) 21 disposed so as to be rotatable relative to the input shaft 2A. The first SOWC 100 disconnects between the input shaft 2A and the input gear 21, and the second SOWC 200 disconnects between the input shaft 2A and the rotary shaft 33. As shown in FIG. 2, the input gear 21 is always in mesh with the output gear 22 fixed to the rotating shaft 46 and is drivingly connected. The gear ratios of the input gear 21 and the output gear 22 (hereinafter referred to as direct gear ratios) are higher than the gear ratios when the variator 3 is at the lowest level and the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 is at the second speed, and The variator 3 is at the highest level and the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 is at the low side than the gear ratio at the first speed.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the first and second SOWCs 100 and 200 have a shift fork 53 for moving the sleeve 52 in the shift direction (axial direction), and a switching electric actuator 50A for driving the shift fork 53. The sleeve 52 has a CVT position (C) for setting a power transmission path via the variator 3 and a direct connection position (D) for setting a power transmission path via the direct coupling gear mechanism 20. It is slide-driven by the shift fork 53. The detailed configuration of the SOWC will be described later.

  The reduction mechanism 6 is fixed to a gear 61 fixed to the rotation shaft 46 of the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 so as to rotate integrally with the rotation shaft 65 parallel to the rotation shaft 46 and meshed with the gear 61. The gear 62 is fixed to the rotary shaft 65 so as to be integrally rotated, and the gear 64 is an input gear of the differential mechanism 7 and meshes with the gear 63. The gear 61 and the gear 62 are decelerated according to the gear ratio, and further, the gear 63 and the gear 64 are decelerated according to the gear ratio.

[Speed change mechanism]
As shown in FIG. 1, the transmission mechanism 8 equipped on the primary pulley 30P is composed of an electric actuator 80A and a mechanical reaction mechanism 80B. The torque cam mechanism employed in the mechanical reaction force mechanism 80B has a pair of cam members 83 and 84 disposed on the back of the movable pulley 32 of the primary pulley 30P and coaxially disposed on the rotary shaft 33. In each of the cam members 83 and 84, spiral cam surfaces 83a and 84a which are inclined with respect to the direction orthogonal to the rotation shaft 33 are formed, and the pair of cam members 83 and 84 have respective cam surfaces 83a and 84a are placed in contact with each other.

  The cam member 83 and the cam member 84 are also rotatable relative to the rotary shaft 33, and are disposed coaxially with the rotary shaft 33 independently of the fixed pulley 31 and the movable pulley 32 of the primary pulley 30P. That is, even if the primary pulley 30P rotates, the cam members 83 and 84 do not rotate. However, while the cam member 84 is a fixed cam member fixed in both the rotational direction and the axial direction, the cam member 83 can be rotated relative to the cam member 84 and can also be moved in the axial direction. It is a movable cam member. Further, the movable cam member 83 is provided with a sliding contact surface 83b in sliding contact with the back surface 32a of the movable pulley 32 via a thrust bearing or the like on the opposite side of the cam surface 83a.

  The electric actuator 80A rotates the movable cam member 83 to rotate the cam surface 83a of the movable cam member 83 with respect to the cam surface 84a of the fixed cam member 84, thereby making the inclination of the cam surface 83a and the cam surface 84a. The movable cam member 83 is moved in the axial direction of the rotary shaft 33 along with the movement of the movable pulley 32 in the axial direction of the rotary shaft 33 to adjust the groove width of the V groove of the primary pulley 30P.

  The electric actuator 80A is composed of a worm gear mechanism 82 including a worm 82a and a worm wheel 82b meshing with the worm 82a, and a speed change motor 81 for rotationally driving the worm 82a. The worm wheel 82b has a rotation shaft 33 , And is serrated to the outer periphery of the movable cam member 83 so as to rotate integrally with the movable cam member 83 and to allow the movement of the movable cam member 83 in the axial direction. Thus, when the shift motor 81 is operated to rotationally drive the worm 82a, the worm wheel 82b is rotated to rotate the movable cam member 83, thereby adjusting the groove width of the V groove of the primary pulley 30P.

  The groove width adjustment of the V groove of the primary pulley 30P by the transmission mechanism 8 is performed while receiving the thrust of the secondary pulley 30S generated by the thrust generation mechanism 9. When narrowing the groove width of the V groove of the primary pulley 30P, the groove width of the V groove of the secondary pulley 30S connected via the belt is expanded, and the thrust generated by the thrust generating mechanism 9 is countered. When the groove width of the V groove of the primary pulley 30P is increased, the groove width of the V groove of the secondary pulley 30S is narrowed, and the thrust by the thrust generating mechanism 9 is used.

  〔Control device〕

  As shown in FIG. 1, this vehicle is equipped with an EVECU 110 for totally controlling an electric vehicle and a CVTECU 100 for controlling the main part of an automatic transmission (CVT with auxiliary transmission mechanism) 2. Each ECU is a computer configured of a memory (ROM, RAM), a CPU, and the like. The CVTECU 100 controls the operation of the transmission motor 81 constituting the electric actuator 80A of the transmission mechanism 8 and the operation of the switching electric actuators 50A and 50B based on the command from the EVECU 110 or information and information from other sensors. The vehicle has a sensor group SZ. The sensor group SZ includes a longitudinal acceleration sensor for detecting the longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle, a drive motor rotational speed sensor for detecting the rotational speed of the drive motor 1, a primary sensor for detecting the primary pulley rotational speed Npri, and a secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec And a secondary sensor that detects the The automatic transmission 2 can select and use roughly three power transmission modes as shown in FIG. 3 using the shift map shown in FIG. 4 set in the CVT ECU 100. Hereinafter, the transmission ratio of the automatic transmission 2 in which the transmission ratio of the variator 3 and the transmission ratio of the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 are combined will be referred to as a through transmission ratio.

  Since the through gear ratio is set to the lowest at the time of normal vehicle start, as shown in FIG. 3A, the CVT low mode in which the variator 3 is used and the sub transmission mechanism 4 is at 1st (low) is set. select. Since the through transmission ratio is upshifted when the vehicle speed rises after the start, as shown in FIG. 3B, the CVT high mode in which the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 is set to the second gear (high) using the variator 3 is selected. . Usually, this CVT high mode can cope with many traveling modes. In this manner, by using the sub transmission mechanism 4, as shown in FIG. 4, from the state (1st Low) in which the variator 3 is at the lowest level in the CVT low mode where the sub transmission mechanism 4 is at 1st (low). It is possible to travel in a wide gear ratio range up to a state (2nd High) in which the variator 3 is maximized in the CVT high mode in which the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 is set to 2nd (high).

  Furthermore, when the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 is shifted from the first gear to the second gear or from the second gear to the first gear, there is a scene in which the power transmission path is shut off, and a feeling of free running occurs. Therefore, in the first embodiment, when it is determined that the target through speed ratio exceeds the direct gear ratio, the first SOWC 100 of the direct coupling gear mechanism 20 is engaged, and the second SOWC 200 is released as shown in FIG. The power of the motor 1 is directly transmitted to the output gear 22. In this state, the sub transmission mechanism 4 is shifted, and after the sub transmission mechanism 4 finishes shifting, the first SOWC 100 is released, and the second SOWC 200 is engaged, as shown in FIG. 3A or 3B. Achieve the transmission path. As a result, even when the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 is shifting, the driving force can be always output to the driving wheel WD.

(Details of direct coupling gear mechanism)
Next, the details of the direct coupling gear mechanism will be described. FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the direct coupling gear mechanism of the first embodiment. The direct coupling gear mechanism 20 has a first SOWC 100 and a second SOWC 200. As shown in FIG. 5, the first SOWC 100 is a combination of an input shaft 2A to which rotational torque is transmitted, and an input gear 21 rotatably disposed relative to the input shaft 2A on an axis O of the input shaft 2A. It is an apparatus for performing disconnection. The second SOWC 200 is for connecting or disconnecting the input shaft 2A to which the rotational torque is transmitted, and the rotary shaft 33 disposed rotatably on the input shaft 2A on the axis O of the input shaft 2A. It is an apparatus. Hereinafter, since the basic configurations of the first SOWC 100 and the second SOWC 200 are the same, the second SOWC 200 will be described.

  The second SOWC 200 includes a second notch plate 210 in which the input shaft 2A is spline fitted, a pocket plate 220 in which the second notch plate 210 is inserted and the rotary shaft 33 is spline fitted, a pocket plate 220 and a second notch A strut 230 is connected to the plate 210, and a drive unit 240 generates a driving force for pressing the strut 230 toward the pocket plate 220. In the first embodiment, the drive unit 240 includes a solenoid 241.

  The other end of the shift fork 53 is in contact with a disc-shaped disc member 249 coaxially disposed with the input shaft 2A. The disk member 249 is a member for transmitting the operation force of the shift fork 53 to the plurality of shaft-like members 250, and the shaft-like member 250 applies the operation force of the shift fork 53 to the axial direction end face of the second ring member 251.

The initial load of the coil spring 245 is set to a load that is larger than the pressing force generated by the torsion coil spring 235 and smaller than the pressing force generated by the solenoid 241.

  According to the drive unit 240 configured as described above, when current is supplied to the solenoid 241 and the shift fork 53 is moved to the left side in FIG. 5, a pressing force of the disk member 249 is generated, and the torsion coil spring 235 is attached. The axial member 250 presses the second ring member 251 toward the pocket plate 220 against the force, and the second ring member 251 can make the struts 230 unrockable. When the current of the solenoid 241 is reversed, the shift fork 53 moves to the right in FIG. 5, the pressing force of the disk member 249 disappears, and the strut 230 can swing by the biasing force of the torsion coil spring 235. It becomes. As described above, by changing the direction of the current supplied to the solenoid 241, it is possible to switch whether or not the strut 230 can swing.

The ring portion 213 is a portion into which the pocket plate 220 is rotatably inserted radially inward, and movement of the pocket plate 220 in the axial direction is possible by the snap ring 217 (see FIG. 5) fitted to the inner peripheral surface. It is blocked.

The first accommodation recess 221 is a recess in which the torsion coil spring 235 is accommodated, and is a shallow recess continuously provided to the opening of the coil accommodation portion 221a, which is formed in a rectangular shape in rear view, and the coil accommodation portion 221a A strut arrangement portion 221b extending in the circumferential direction of the opposing arrangement surface 220a, and a strut support portion 221c extending on both sides in the radial direction of the strut arrangement portion 221b are provided.

  The second accommodation recess 222 is a recess in which the torsion coil spring 235 is accommodated, and is a shallow recess continuously provided to the opening of the coil accommodation portion 222a, which is formed in a rectangular shape in a rear view, and A strut arrangement portion 222b extending in the circumferential direction of the opposing arrangement surface 220a, and a strut support portion 222c extending on both sides in the radial direction of the strut arrangement portion 222b are provided. The strut arrangement portion 222b and the strut support portion 222c of the second accommodation recess 222 are formed at positions facing the strut arrangement portion 221b and the strut support portion 221c of the first accommodation recess 221. The strut arrangement portion 222b and the strut support portion 222c of the second accommodation recess 222 are set to have a circumferential length greater than that of the strut arrangement portion 221b and the strut support portion 221c of the first accommodation recess 221.

  In the pocket plate 220, a substantially arc-shaped groove 223 extending in the circumferential direction is recessed in a recess 220c on the radially inner side of the facing surface 220a. The groove portion 223 is a portion where a coil spring 236 (see FIG. 9A) for biasing the second regulating member 260 (see FIGS. 8A and 8B) disposed in the recess 220c in one circumferential direction is disposed.

  Next, the first strut 231, the second strut 232 and the second restricting member 260 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8A is a back view of the pocket plate 220 assembled with the first strut 231, the second strut 232 and the second restricting member 260, and FIG. 8B is the first strut 231, the second strut 232 and the second restricting member 260. FIG. 17 is a rear view of the pocket plate 220 in which the second struts 232 slide in the assembled pocket plate 220. 8A and 8B, illustration of the coil storage portions 221a and 222a of the first storage recess 221 and the second storage recess 222 is omitted for easy understanding.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, in the pocket plate 220, the first struts 231 and the second struts 232 are respectively disposed in the first accommodation recess 221 and the second accommodation recess 222 which are provided in the facing arrangement surface 220a. . The first strut 231 and the second strut 232 are members for connecting the second notch plate 210 and the pocket plate 220. The first struts 231 and the second struts 232 are configured the same except that the orientations of the first storage recess 221 and the second storage recess 222 are different. Therefore, in the second strut 232, the same parts as those of the first strut 231 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description of each part is omitted.

  The first strut 231 is configured as a substantially T-shaped plate-shaped body in a front view corresponding to the opening shape of the first storage recess 221, and is formed into a substantially rectangular plate-shaped portion 233 in a front view. A substantially rod-like arm 234 is provided so as to protrude from both side edges of the end of the portion 233. One end side of the plate-like portion 233 is disposed on the side of the coil accommodation portion 221 a of the first accommodation recess 221 recessed in the pocket plate 220, and the other end is disposed on the strut arrangement portion 221 b. The arm portion 234 extended to the other end side of the plate-like portion 233 is inserted into the strut support portion 221 c of the first accommodation recess 221. The first strut 231 is swung about the arm 234 by pressing one end side of the plate-like portion 233 by the torsion coil spring 235 housed in the coil housing portion 221 a.

  The second struts 232 are disposed in the second storage recess 222. The strut arrangement portion 222b and the strut support portion 222c of the second accommodation recess 222 are set to have a circumferential length greater than that of the strut arrangement portion 221b and the strut support portion 221c of the first accommodation recess 221. Therefore, in the second strut 232, the arm 234 is slidable in the circumferential direction in the strut support portion 222c.

  The second restricting member 260 is a plate-like member for restricting the swing of the first strut 231, and the facing surface 220a of the pocket plate 220 (in the recess 220c) and the surface 212a of the second notch plate 210. Placed between. The second restricting member 260 has an annular portion 261 formed in an annular shape, and a plurality of (four in the first embodiment) first convex portions 262 provided radially outward from the outer periphery of the annular portion 261. And a plurality of (four in the first embodiment) second convex portions 263 protruding between the first convex portions 262. The first convex portion 262 is provided with a locking portion 262 a which covers one end side of the first strut 231 disposed in the first accommodation recess 221 and restricts the swing of the first strut 231. The locking portion 262a bends the outside in the radial direction of the first convex portion 262 located in the same plane as the annular portion 261, so that the locking portion 262a is slightly axial than the annular portion 261 and the first convex portion 262 (FIG. 8A) It is formed in a step-like shape so as to be located on the front side of the drawing sheet). The second convex portion 263 includes an abutment portion 263 a with which the other end (arm portion 234 side) of the second strut 232 disposed in the second accommodation recess 222 abuts. The contact portion 263 a is formed at the circumferential edge of the second convex portion 263.

  In the second regulating member 260, the radial length (outer diameter) of the first convex portion 262 and the second convex portion 263 is set smaller than the inner diameter of the second ring member 251. It is for preventing that the 2nd control member 260 and the 2nd ring member 251 interfere.

  In the pocket plate 220, a coil spring 236 (see FIG. 9A) is disposed in a groove 223 (see FIG. 7A) recessed inward in the radial direction of the facing disposition surface 220a. The coil spring 236 presses the protrusion 261a axially protruding from the axial end surface of the annular portion 261 toward one side in the circumferential direction (clockwise in FIG. 8A), thereby the second restricting member 260 is biased to one side in the circumferential direction (clockwise in FIG. 8A). As a result, the contact portion 263a of the second convex portion 263 contacts the other end of the second strut 232 (the circumferential end surface of the arm portion 234), and the second strut 232 is pressed in the circumferential direction. The second restricting member 260 is stopped at a position where the arm portion 234 of the pressed second strut 232 abuts on the circumferential end of the strut support portion 222c. At this time, one end side of the first strut 231 is covered with the locking portion 262a. In this case, swinging of the first strut 231 is restricted.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, when a load is applied to the second strut 232 toward the other side in the circumferential direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 8B), the contact portion 263a that contacts the second strut 232 is the other of the second strut 232 Pressed to the end. When the load is larger than the biasing force of the coil spring 236, the second strut 232 slides in the strut arrangement portion 222b and the strut support portion 222c, and the second restricting member 260 is on the other side in the circumferential direction (FIG. 8B Clockwise). Since the position of the locking portion 262a is shifted to the other side in the circumferential direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 8B), the first strut 231 is released from the locking portion 262a. In this case, the first strut 231 can swing.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10, the operation of the second SOWC 200 will be described. FIG. 9A is a schematic view of the second SOWC 200 when the second notch plate 210 rotates relative to the pocket plate 220 in the first direction (the direction of the arrow A) in a state in which the swing of the strut 230 is restricted. 9B is a schematic view of the second SOWC 200 when the second notch plate 210 is relatively rotated in the first direction with respect to the pocket plate 220 in a state in which the swing of the strut 230 is permitted, and FIG. 10 is a schematic view of a second SOWC 200 in which the second strut 232 swings while the second notch plate 210 relatively rotates in the first direction.

  10A is a schematic view of the second SOWC 200 in which the second strut 232 is engaged with the second engagement recess 215, and FIG. 10B is a pocket plate with the second strut 232 engaged with the second engagement recess 215. FIG. 10C is a schematic view of the second SOWC 200 when the second notch plate 210 relatively rotates in the second direction (arrow B direction) with respect to 220, and FIG. 10C shows the first strut 231 and the second strut 232 in the second engagement. FIG. 17 is a schematic view of a second SOWC 200 in which the second notch plate 210 rotates in the second direction relative to the pocket plate 220 while engaging the recess 215. 9 and 10, parts of the second notch plate 210 and the pocket plate 220 are illustrated in a simplified manner for easy understanding.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, the coil spring 236 biases the second regulating member 260 in a first direction (direction of arrow A, clockwise in FIG. 8A) with respect to the pocket plate 220. As a result, the locking portion 262 a is interposed between one end of the first strut 231 and the second notch plate 210, and the other end of the second strut 232 abuts on the abutting portion 263 a. The second strut 232 is pressed by the contact portion 263a, and the arm portion 234 is fixed to the circumferential end of the strut support portion 222c. The first strut 231 and the second strut 232 are biased toward the second notch plate 210 by the torsion coil spring 235. However, in a state where the second ring member 251 is pushed by the shaft-shaped member 250 and enters the second engagement recess 215 of the second notch plate 210, the first strut 231 and the second strut 232 are the second engagement recess Unable to swing into 215. Thus, power transmission between the second notch plate 210 and the pocket plate 220 is interrupted.

  As shown in FIGS. 9B and 9C, when the second ring member 251 is withdrawn from the second engagement recess 215 of the second notch plate 210, the second struts 232 can swing. However, since the second struts 232 are inclined from the pocket plate 220 to the second notch plate 210 in the direction of rotation of the second notch plate 210 relative to the pocket plate 220 (direction of arrow A), the second struts 232 It only swings around the arm 234 sandwiched between the strut support portion 222c and the contact portion 263a. The second strut 232 can not engage with the second engagement recess 215.

  On the other hand, since the locking portion 262a is interposed between one end side of the first strut 231 and the second notch plate 210, the first strut 231 is restricted in swing. As a result, even when the positions of one end of the first strut 231 and the wall portion 215b of the second engagement recess 215 match due to relative rotation between the second notch plate 210 and the pocket plate 220, the first strut 231 swings. As a result, the second engaging recess 215 can be prevented from entering.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, when the rotation speed of the pocket plate 220 becomes substantially equal to the rotation speed of the second notch plate 210, the second strut 232 ends at one instant when the phase difference from the second engagement recess 215 disappears. One end of the second strut 232 abuts on the wall 215 b of the second engagement recess 215. At this time, a relative rotation difference of the second notch plate 210 with respect to the pocket plate 220 occurs. The relative rotation difference is determined based on the phase difference and the rate of change of the relative rotation at the moment when the rotation speed disappears, but when the relative rotation difference is small, the inertia change hardly occurs and the shock due to the engagement can be suppressed. The engagement of the second strut 232 restricts rotation of the second notch plate 210 in the second direction (the direction opposite to the arrow A) opposite to the first direction with respect to the pocket plate 220. The pocket plate 220 and the second notch plate 210 rotate at the same rotational speed to start power transmission.

  As shown in FIG. 10B, at the moment when one end of the second strut 232 abuts on the wall portion 215b of the second engagement recess 215, the second notch plate 210 is opposite to the first direction with respect to the pocket plate 220. Relatively in the second direction (the direction of arrow B in FIG. 10B). When the load acting in the circumferential direction of the second strut 232 becomes larger than the biasing force of the coil spring 236, the second strut 232 is in contact with the wall portion 215b of the second engaging recess 215 at one end, It is pushed in the direction (direction of arrow B in FIG. 10B). As a result, the second strut 232 is circumferentially slid in the strut arrangement portion 222 b and the strut support portion 222 c, and the second restricting member 260 is rotated in the second direction (arrow B direction). In the locking portion 42a, the other end (arm portion 234 side) of the second strut 232 in contact with the abutting portion 43a abuts the wall portion (left side in FIG. 10B) of the strut support portion 222c (second storage recess 222). And a position where the first strut 231 is released.

  When the locking portion 262a opens the first strut 231 as shown in FIG. 10C, the first strut 231 is swung toward the second notch plate 210 by the biasing force of the torsion coil spring 235. In the second engagement recess 215 adjacent in the circumferential direction, when one end of the second strut 232 engages the wall portion 215 b of one second engagement recess 215, one end of the first strut 231 is the other. It is provided in the position which can be engaged with the wall part 215b of the 2nd engagement recessed part 215. As shown in FIG. As a result, one end of the first strut 231 pivoted toward the second notch plate 210 is brought into contact with and engaged with a prescribed position of the wall portion 215 b of the second engagement recess 215. The engagement of the first struts 231 restricts rotation of the second notch plate 210 in the first direction (arrow A direction) with respect to the pocket plate 220.

  Further, one end of the second strut 232 is engaged with the wall portion 215b of the second engagement recess 215, and the other end (arm portion 234 side) of the second strut 232 is a strut support portion 222c (second accommodation recess 222) The rotational torque (in the direction of arrow B) of the second notch plate 210 is transmitted to the pocket plate 220 in a state in which the second notch plate 210 abuts against the wall (left side in FIG. 10C). In that case, since the second notch plate 210 is not rotated relative to the pocket plate 220, almost no inertia change occurs when the first strut 231 engages with the second engagement recess 215.

  Note that, by advancing the second ring member 251 into the second engagement recess 215, the first strut 231 and the second strut 232, one end of which is inserted into the second engagement recess 215, are inserted into the second engagement recess 215. You can leave it. The second strut 232 is configured to be slidable in the circumferential direction, but since the second ring member 251 is formed in a cylindrical shape (continuously in the circumferential direction), the second strut 232 slid in the circumferential direction. Can be withdrawn from the second engagement recess 215 as appropriate.

  The second SOWC 200 has been described above, but the first SOWC 100 also has the same configuration. Specifically, the first pocket plate 120 having the input gear 21 formed on the outer periphery thereof and supported by the input shaft 2A via a bearing, and the first notch plate 110 integrally formed with the second notch plate 210 A strut 130 connecting the first pocket plate 120 and the first notch plate 110, and a driving unit 240 generating a driving force for pressing the strut 130 toward the first pocket plate 120. The other end of the shift fork 53 is in contact with a disc-shaped disc member 149 coaxially disposed with the input shaft 2A. The disk member 149 is a member for transmitting the operation force of the shift fork 53 to the plurality of shaft-like members 150, and the shaft-like member 150 applies the operation force of the shift fork 53 to the end face of the first ring member 151 in the axial direction. It is a member for transmission.

  The first ring member 151 is a member formed in a cylindrical shape, and is a member for transmitting an axial pressing force to the strut 130. The strut 130 is pivotally fixed to the first pocket plate 120, and one end thereof is pressed by the torsion coil spring 135 toward the first notch plate 110. The initial load of the coil spring 245 is set to a load that is larger than the pressing force generated by the torsion coil spring 135 and smaller than the pressing force generated by the solenoid 241.

  According to the drive unit 240 configured as described above, when current is supplied to the solenoid 241 and the shift fork 53 is moved to the right in FIG. 5, a pressing force of the disk member 149 is generated, and the torsion coil spring 135 is attached. The axial member 150 presses the first ring member 151 toward the first pocket plate 120 against the force, and the first ring member 151 can make the strut 130 unrockable. In addition, when the current of the solenoid 241 is reversed, the pressing force of the disk member 149 disappears, and the biasing force of the torsion coil spring 135 enables the strut 130 to swing. As described above, by changing the direction of the current flowing through the solenoid 241, it is possible to switch whether or not the strut 130 can swing. When the shift fork 53 is moved to the right in FIG. 5, the second SOWC 200 becomes engageable, and the first SOWC 100 becomes releasable. On the other hand, when the shift fork 53 is moved to the left in FIG. 5, the first SOWC 100 is in the engageable state, and the second SOWC 200 is in the releasable state.

  The relationship between the first notch plate 110, the first pocket plate 120, the first strut 131, the second strut 132, and the first restricting member 160 in the first SOWC 100 is configured to be all opposite to the engagement relationship of the second SOWC 200 in the rotational direction. It is done. In the second SOWC 200, the second notch plate 210 rotates relative to the pocket plate 220 in the first direction (arrow A direction in FIG. 9A) relative to the second direction (arrow B direction in FIG. 10B). When the second strut 232 enters the second engagement recess 215, and the second restricting member 260 is pushed in by engagement with the wall portion 215b, and the first strut 231 is engaged with the second engagement recess The second notch plate 210 and the pocket plate 220 were engaged by entering into 215. On the other hand, in the first SOWC 100, the first notch plate 110 rotates relative to the first pocket plate 120 in the second direction (the direction of arrow B in FIG. 10B: the direction opposite to the direction of arrow A in FIG. 9A). , The second strut 132 enters the first engagement recess 115 when it is relatively rotated in the first direction (the direction of arrow A in FIG. 9A: the direction opposite to the direction of arrow B in FIG. 10B) The engagement between the first notch plate 110 and the first pocket plate 120 is achieved by pushing the first restricting member 160 by engagement with the wall portion 115 b and the first strut 131 entering into the first engagement recess 115. The point to do is different.

(Function at the time of mode switching)
Next, the operation at the time of switching the traveling mode will be described. 11 and 12 are schematic diagrams showing the operation of the SOWC at the time of mode switching in the first embodiment. The second SOWC 200 is described as the CVT side, and the first SOWC 100 is described as the Direct side. The traveling state via the variator 3 is described as a CVT mode, and the traveling state via the direct coupling gear mechanism 20 is described as a Direct mode. Hereinafter, each phase at the time of mode switching is indicated by P1 to P5.

(Mode change operation of drive status)
FIG. 11 shows that the second SOWC 200 is engaged in the drive travel state, and the second SOWC 200 is released from the CVT mode in which the first SOWC 100 is released and the variator 3 is traveling with the gear ratio of the high side gear ratio. Is a schematic explanatory view of each SOWC 100, 200 when switching to the Direct mode of engagement.
In the phase P1, the shift fork 53 has moved to the Direct side, and since the second SOWC 200 is engaged, the torque of the input shaft 2A is transmitted to the variator 3. Because of the drive state, torque is transmitted from the second notch plate 210 to the second pocket plate 220 via the second strut 132. Further, since the first SOWC 100 is released, the input shaft 2A and the input gear 21 rotate relative to each other. Since the input gear 21 is rotated by the output gear 22 and the gear ratio of the variator 3 is the high-side gear ratio, the rotational speed of the input gear 21, that is, the rotational speed of the first pocket plate 120 is The rotational speed is higher than the rotational speed of the notch plate 110.

  When a request for switching from the CVT mode to the Direct mode is output in phase P2, the variator 3 is downshifted to increase the primary pulley rotational speed Npri. Specifically, the rotational speed of the first notch plate 110 is increased to be higher than the rotational speed of the input gear 21. In addition, when the shift fork 53 is pressed from the Direct side to the CVT side, the first ring member 151 of the first SOWC 100 is pushed back, and the second strut 132 can swing. Further, an urging force in the axial direction acts on the second ring member 251 of the second SOWC 200.

  In phase P3, when the rotational speed of the first notch plate 110 becomes equal to the rotational speed of the input gear 21, and then the second strut 132 has the phase of the first engagement recess 115 of the first notch plate 110, The two struts 132 abut the first engagement recess 115 of the first notch plate 110. At the moment of contact, the rotational speed of the first notch plate 110 is higher than the rotational speed of the input gear 21. Then, the second strut 132 rotates the first restricting member 160 against the biasing force of the coil spring 136. Accordingly, the first struts 131 can also enter into the first engagement recess 115. As the relative rotational speed between the rotational speed of the first notch plate 110 and the rotational speed of the first pocket plate 120 increases at the instant when the phase between the second strut 132 and the first engagement recess 115 occurs, the second The engagement shock when the strut 132 engages with the first engagement recess 115 is increased.

  In the phase P4, the rotation speed of the first notch plate 110 and the rotation speed of the first pocket plate 120 are synchronized by the engagement of the first strut 131 and the second strut 132, and the torque transmission path is directly connected from the CVT mode. It switches to the Direct mode via the gear mechanism 20. Also, since the rotational speed of the pocket plate 220 is increased by the downshift of the variator 3, the rotational speed of the second pocket plate 220 becomes higher than the rotational speed of the second notch plate 210, and The engagement with the joint recess 215 is released.

  In the phase P5, a biasing force is applied to the second ring member 251, and the torque between the second strut 232 and the second engagement recess 215 is also released, so the first strut 231 and the second strut 232 are It is stored in the pocket plate 220. Further, the second restricting member 260 is rotated by the biasing force of the coil spring 236, and covers one end side of the first strut 231 to restrict the swing of the first strut 231.

(Coast mode mode switching action)
FIG. 12 shows that in the coasting state, the second SOWC 200 is engaged, the first SOWC 100 is released, and the second SOWC 200 is released from the CVT mode while the variator 3 is traveling at the high speed ratio. FIG. 18 is a schematic explanatory view of each SOWC when switching to the direct mode of engagement.
In the phase P1, the shift fork 53 has moved to the Direct side, and since the second SOWC 200 is engaged, the torque from the drive wheel WD is transmitted to the variator 3. And since it is a coast state, torque transmission is made from the 2nd pocket plate 220 via the 1st strut 231 to the 2nd notch plate 210. Further, since the first SOWC 100 is released, the input shaft 2A and the input gear 21 rotate relative to each other. The input gear 21 is rotated by the output gear 22, and the rotational speed of the input gear 21, that is, the rotational speed of the first pocket plate 120, is 1st because the gear ratio of the variator 3 is the high side gear ratio. The rotational speed is higher than the rotational speed of the notch plate 110.

  When a request for switching from the CVT mode to the Direct mode is output in phase P2, the variator 3 is downshifted to increase the primary pulley rotational speed Npri. Specifically, the rotational speed of the first notch plate 110 is increased to be higher than the rotational speed of the input gear 21. In addition, when the shift fork 53 is pressed from the Direct side to the CVT side, the first ring member 151 of the first SOWC 100 is pushed back, and the second strut 132 can swing. Further, an urging force in the axial direction acts on the second ring member 251 of the second SOWC 200.

  In phase P3, the rotational speed of the first notch plate 110 is higher than the rotational speed of the first pocket plate 120, and then there is a phase between the second strut 132 and the first engagement recess 115 of the first notch plate 110. When the second struts 132 abut the first engagement recesses 115 of the first notch plate 110. Then, the second strut 132 rotates the first restricting member 160 against the biasing force of the coil spring 136. Accordingly, the first struts 131 can also enter into the first engagement recess 115 of the first notch plate 110. At this time, since the first strut 231 of the second pocket plate 220 and the second engagement recess 215 of the second notch plate 220 transmit torque, the first engagement of the second strut 132 and the first notch plate 110 is performed. When the recess 115 is engaged, the second SOWC 200 and the first SOWC 100 are both engaged, and a double meshing state in which power is transmitted is generated, and torque circulation occurs. In this case, even if the downshift is continued by the variator 3, the first strut 231 does not come out of the second engagement recess 215 of the second notch plate 210, unlike the drive state.

  In the phase P4, the rotation speed of the first notch plate 110 and the rotation speed of the first pocket plate 120 are synchronized by the engagement of the first strut 131 and the second strut 132, and as control for releasing the double engagement, For example, by switching the shift direction of the variator 3 from the downshift to the upshift, the rotational speed of the second pocket plate 220 is made lower than the rotational speed of the second notch plate 210, and the rotational speed of the second notch plate 210 is The rotation speed of the two pocket plate 220 is lower than that of the two pocket plate 220, and the engagement between the second strut 232 and the second engagement recess 215 is released. As a result, the torque transmission path is switched from the CVT mode to the Direct mode.

  In the phase P5, a biasing force is applied to the second ring member 251, and the torque between the second strut 232 and the second engagement recess 215 is also released, so the first strut 231 and the second strut 232 are It is stored in the second pocket plate 220. Further, the second restricting member 260 is rotated by the biasing force of the coil spring 236, and covers one end side of the first strut 231 to restrict the swing of the first strut 231.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a shift control process when the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 of the first embodiment downshifts from second gear to first gear. Although FIG. 13 shows the downshift transmission control process from the second gear to the first gear, the same control is performed for the upshift transmission control process of the sub transmission mechanism.
In step S1, it is determined whether or not the current transmission gear position of the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 is the second speed, and the target through speed ratio satisfies the condition smaller than the direct gear ratio. If it is determined that the mechanism 4 is downshifted from the second gear to the first gear, the process proceeds to step S2. If the condition is not satisfied, the present control flow is ended.
FIG. 14 is a drive coast determination map of the first embodiment. The slope of the road surface is taken on the horizontal axis, and the input torque input to the input shaft 2A is taken on the vertical axis. The road surface gradient can be calculated based on, for example, the sensor value of the longitudinal acceleration sensor and the torque output from the drive motor 1 and may be provided with another gradient sensor or the like. As described in the above-described phase P4, double engagement occurs in the direct coupling gear mechanism 20 in the coast state. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately determine whether the torque acting on the second pocket plate 220 is correct. Therefore, the drive coast state is accurately grasped from the map based on the relationship between the input torque and the road surface gradient. Specifically, even if torque is output from the drive motor 1 in the down slope, the torque acting from the drive wheel WD is large, so the region to be judged as the coast state is set wide.
In step S2, it is determined whether the traveling state of the vehicle is a driving state or a coasting state. If in the driving state, the process proceeds to step S100 to perform drive shift control processing, and in the coasting state, the process proceeds to step S200. Perform coast time shift control processing.

FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the drive time shift control process of the first embodiment.
In step S101, a switching control process of switching from the CVT mode to the Direct mode is performed. Specifically, the target primary pulley rotational speed Npri * is calculated by adding a predetermined value A to the rotational speed of the input gear 21 determined by the direct gear ratio (hereinafter referred to as the MD rotational speed Nmd). Then, the target primary pulley rotational speed Npri * is set to a value obtained by dividing the target primary pulley rotational speed Npri * by the current secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec (hereinafter referred to as the actual secondary pulley rotational speed) as the target pulley gear ratio of the variator 3. Here, the predetermined value A is a value calculated from a table preset in the CVT CU 100. FIG. 16 is an A table in the switching control process of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 16, when the accelerator pedal is depressed greatly and the acceleration request is strong, the value is set to a large value, and when the acceleration request is small, the value is set to a small value. FIG. 17 is a shift speed table in the switching control process of the first embodiment. In this table, the transmission ratio gradient until the variator 3 reaches the target pulley transmission ratio, that is, the transmission speed is set. As the transmission speed, a high transmission speed is set when the acceleration demand is large, and a low transmission speed is set when the acceleration demand is small.

  That is, as described in the phase P3 of FIG. 11, the switching from the torque transmission state in the second SOWC 200 to the torque transmission state in the first SOWC 100 has a rotational speed of the first notch plate 110 more than the first pocket plate 120. This is achieved by the second strut 132 and the wall portion 115b of the first engagement recess 115 being engaged. However, the phase difference between the second strut 132 of the first pocket plate 120 and the first engagement recess 115 of the first notch plate 110 is when the rotational speeds of the first pocket plate 120 and the first notch plate 110 become equal. So, I do not know how much it is happening. In the case of the first embodiment, since the four second struts 132 are provided, the first notch plate 110 can be engaged at a position advanced by 90 degrees with respect to the first pocket plate 120 when the phase difference is most generated. It becomes.

  At this time, if the relative velocity between the first notch plate 110 and the first pocket plate 120 is small, the engagement may not be completed easily. So, in Example 1, it decided to set the relative velocity (value of predetermined value A) according to the driver's acceleration demand. When the acceleration request is large, a large value is set as the predetermined value A. Therefore, even if the phase difference is large, the phase difference between the first notch plate 110 and the first pocket plate 120 is quickly eliminated, and the second strut 132 and the wall portion 115b of the first engagement recess 115 It is possible to engage and quickly switch the torque transmission state. In addition, since a fast shift speed is set as the shift speed until reaching the target pulley gear ratio, when the acceleration request is large, the CVT mode is switched from the CVT mode to the Direct mode, in which the torque transmission state is transmitted by the variator 3 more quickly. be able to.

  On the other hand, when the acceleration request is small, a small value is set as the predetermined value A. Therefore, even if the phase difference at the time when the rotational speeds of the first pocket plate 120 and the first notch plate 110 become equal, the first pocket plate 120 and the first notch plate at the time when the phase difference disappears Since the relative velocity of 110 decreases, it is possible to suppress a shock when the second strut 132 of the first pocket plate 120 and the wall portion 115b of the first engagement recess 115 are engaged. In addition, as the transmission speed until reaching the target pulley transmission ratio, since the low transmission speed is set when the acceleration request is small, the second strut 132 and the wall portion 115b are in the middle of reaching the target pulley transmission ratio. Even when engaged, the shock at the time of engagement can be suppressed.

Referring back to FIG. 15, in step S102, the current primary pulley rotational speed Npri (hereinafter, actual primary rotational speed) is larger than the MD rotational speed Nmd, and the MD rotational speed Nmd and the motor rotational speed Nm of the drive motor 1 are If the conditions are satisfied, it is determined that the torque transmission path has been switched, and the process proceeds to step S4. If the conditions are not satisfied, the process returns to step S101 to perform the switching control process. continue.
In step S103, the control for changing from second gear to first gear (including synchronous control) is performed in the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4. The details of the replacement control will be described later.
In step S104, it is determined whether or not the secondary pulley rotational speed matches the value obtained by multiplying the rotational speed of the rotary shaft 46 by the gear ratio of the first speed. If the values match, the replacement control is completed, and the direct gear ratio is determined. Is determined to be synchronized with the rotational speed Nout of the rotary shaft 46 driven in step S105, and if it is not matched, it is determined that they are not synchronized, and the process returns to step S103 to switch over control and synchronization control. continue.

In step S105, preparation processing for switching from the Direct mode to the CVT mode is performed. Specifically, a value obtained by adding a predetermined value B to the MD rotational speed Nmd is calculated as the target primary pulley rotational speed Npri *. Then, the target primary pulley rotational speed Npri * is set to a value obtained by dividing the target primary pulley rotational speed Npri * by the actual secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec as a target pulley gear ratio of the variator 3, and the shift of the variator 3 is started. Here, the predetermined value B is a value calculated from a table preset in the CVT CU 100, and immediately before the rotational speed of the second pocket plate 220 of the second SOWC 200 and the rotational speed of the second notch plate 210 are synchronized. Set to state. In addition, since the setting content of the predetermined value B is the same as the predetermined value A, the description is omitted.
In step S106, it is determined whether the actual primary pulley rotational speed Npri has reached a value obtained by adding a predetermined value B to the MD rotational speed Nmd, and when it has reached, the rotational speed of the second pocket plate 220 of the second SOWC 200 If it is determined that the rotational speed of the second notch plate 210 is synchronized, the process proceeds to step S107. If not reached, the process returns to step S105 to continue the switch preparation process.

In step S107, a control process of switching from the Direct mode to the CVT mode is executed. Specifically, a value obtained by subtracting a predetermined value C from the MD rotational speed Nmd is calculated as the target primary pulley rotational speed Npri *. Then, the target primary pulley rotational speed Npri * is set to a value obtained by dividing the target primary pulley rotational speed Npri * by the actual secondary pulley rotational speed, as the target pulley gear ratio of the variator 3. Here, the reason why the predetermined value C is subtracted from the MD rotational speed Nmd is that the rotational speed of the second pocket plate 220 is lower than the rotational speed of the second notch plate 210 in order for the second SOWC 200 to engage. This is because the two struts 232 can engage with the wall 215 b of the second engagement recess 215. In addition, since the setting content of the predetermined value C is the same as the predetermined value A, the description is omitted.
In step S108, it is determined whether or not the condition that the actual primary pulley rotational speed Npri is smaller than the MD rotational speed Nmd and the primary pulley rotational speed Npri matches the motor rotational speed Nm is satisfied. It is determined that the torque transmission path has been switched, and the present control flow is ended. If the condition is not satisfied, the process returns to step S107 and the switching control process is continued.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing a coasting shift control process of the first embodiment.
In step S201, the variator 3 is downshifted. At this time, the shift speed is shifted at a preset slow shift speed min. Thereby, when the double engagement shown in the above-mentioned phase P3 occurs, the engagement between the first engaging recess 115 of the first notch plate 110 and the second strut 132 integrally moving with the first pocket plate 120 Can control shocks in

  In step S202, it is determined whether or not double engagement has occurred. If it is determined that double engagement has occurred, the process proceeds to step S203, and otherwise step S201 is repeated. In the first embodiment, in order to detect occurrence of double engagement, detection is performed using a belt slip ratio (corresponding to double engagement detection means). The belt slip ratio is calculated based on the relationship between the set pulley transmission ratio, the actual primary pulley rotational speed Npri and the actual secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec. For example, it defines as a pulley gear ratio = (Nsec / Npri). The pulley transmission ratio is determined by the V-groove width of the variator 3 and thus can be obtained from the V-groove width corresponding to the rotation angle of the speed change motor 81. Then, a value obtained by dividing Npri (1) obtained when Nsec is actually substituted is divided by Npri is a belt slip ratio. When double meshing occurs, the actual primary pulley rotational speed Npri and the actual secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec are forced to have a relationship according to the direct gear ratio. Therefore, when the pulley gear ratio is lower than the direct gear ratio, it is detected that slippage occurs between the belt 37 and each pulley, and it is determined that double meshing has occurred.

  In step S203, the variator 3 is upshifted. At this time, the shift speed is shifted at a preset high shift speed max. Thereby, when double engagement occurs, the torque acting between the first strut 231 and the wall portion 215b of the second engagement recess 215 of the second notch plate 210 is quickly released. By this torque release, the first strut 231 and the second strut 232 can be accommodated in the second engagement recess 215 by the second ring member 251, and the second notch plate 210 and the second pocket plate 220 are engaged. Release

  In step S204, it is determined whether or not primary pulley rotational speed Npri is lower than a value obtained by subtracting motor rotation speed Nm by predetermined value α, and that motor rotational speed Nm satisfies the condition matching MD rotational speed Nmd. If it is determined that the condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S205. If the condition is not satisfied, step S203 is repeated. Here, the predetermined value α is a predetermined value representing that the primary pulley rotational speed Npri starts to rotate according to the pulley transmission ratio. When the second SOWC 200 is released, the primary pulley rotational speed Npri rotates in accordance with the pulley gear ratio, not the direct gear ratio. Further, that the motor rotational speed Nm and the MD rotational speed Nmd coincide with each other indicates that the first SOWC 100 is engaged. That is, it indicates that the torque transmission state has been switched.

In step S205, the control for changing from second gear to first gear (including synchronous control) is performed in the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4. The details of the replacement control will be described later.
In step S206, it is determined whether or not the secondary pulley rotational speed matches the value obtained by multiplying the rotational speed of the rotary shaft 46 by the gear ratio of the first speed. If they match, the replacement control is completed, and the direct gear ratio is determined. Is determined to be synchronized with the rotational speed Nout of the rotary shaft 46 driven in step S205, and if it is not coincident, it is determined that they are not synchronized, and the process returns to step S205, continue.

  In step S207, preparation processing for switching from the Direct mode to the CVT mode is performed. Specifically, a value obtained by adding a predetermined value β to the MD rotational speed Nmd is calculated as the target primary pulley rotational speed Npri *. Then, the target primary pulley rotational speed Npri * is set to a value obtained by dividing the target primary pulley rotational speed Npri * by the actual secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec as a target pulley gear ratio of the variator 3, and the shift of the variator 3 is started. Here, the predetermined value β is a value calculated from a table set in advance in the CVT CU 100, in a state immediately before the rotational speed of the pocket plate 220 of the second SOWC 200 and the rotational speed of the second notch plate 210 are synchronized. It is set. If deceleration during coasting is set to a large value, a large β should be set to eliminate the phase difference quickly, and if the deceleration is set to a small value, small β should be set. Suppress the shock with

  In step S208, it is determined whether or not the primary pulley rotational speed Npri has reached a value obtained by adding a predetermined value β to the MD rotational speed Nmd, and if it has reached, the rotational speed of the pocket plate 220 of the second SOWC 200 and the second notch It is determined that the rotational speed of the plate 210 is synchronized, and the process proceeds to step S209. If not reached, the process returns to step S207 to continue the switch preparation process.

In step S209, a control process of switching from the Direct mode to the CVT mode is executed. Specifically, the variator 3 is upshifted. At this time, the shift speed is shifted at a preset slow shift speed min. As a result, it is possible to suppress a shock at the time of engagement between the second engaging recess 215 of the second notch plate 210 and the second strut 232 that moves integrally with the second pocket plate 220 when double engagement occurs.
In step S210, it is determined whether double engagement has occurred. If it is determined that double engagement has occurred, the process proceeds to step S211, and otherwise step S209 is repeated.

In step S211, the variator 3 is downshifted. At this time, the shift speed is shifted at a preset high shift speed max. Thereby, when double engagement occurs, the torque acting between the first strut 131 and the wall portion 115 b of the first engagement recess 115 of the first notch plate 110 is quickly released. By this torque release, the first strut 131 and the second strut 132 can be accommodated in the first engagement recess 115 by the first ring member 151, and the engagement between the first notch plate 110 and the first pocket plate 120 Release
In step S212, it is determined whether the condition that the primary pulley rotational speed Npri is larger than the MD rotational speed Nmd and the primary pulley rotational speed Npri matches the motor rotational speed Nm is satisfied. It is determined that the torque transmission path has been switched, and the present control flow is ended. If the condition is not satisfied, the process returns to step S211 and the switching control process is continued.

(Replacement control process of sub transmission mechanism)
FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating the replacement control process of the first embodiment.
In step S21, it is determined whether to switch from the first gear to the second gear or from the second gear to the first gear, and in the case of the switch from the first gear to the second gear, proceed to step S22 and select the second gear. In the case of changing from 1st gear to 1st gear, the process proceeds to step S26.
In step S22, the switching electric actuator 50B is operated to change the gear position of the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 from first gear to neutral.
In step S23, the target secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec * is set to a value obtained by multiplying the rotational speed Nout of the rotary shaft 46 by the gear ratio of the second speed. Further, a value obtained by subtracting the actual secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec from the target secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec * is calculated as the error amount ΔN. Next, as the target primary pulley rotational speed Npri *, a value P × ΔN obtained by multiplying the error amount ΔN by the P gain and a value I × obtained by multiplying the integral value of the error amount ΔN by the I gain Add ∫ΔN. Then, a value obtained by dividing the target primary pulley rotational speed Npri * by the actual secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec is set as the target pulley speed ratio. Thereby, the rotational speed of the rotating shaft 43 is synchronized with the value obtained by multiplying the rotating shaft 46 by the gear ratio of the second speed.
In step S24, it is determined whether or not actual secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec substantially matches target secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec *. If it is determined that they substantially match, the process proceeds to step S25, and otherwise returns to step S23. And continue the synchronization process.
In step S25, the switching electric actuator 50B is operated to change the gear position of the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 from neutral to second gear.

In step S26, the switching electric actuator 50B is operated to change the gear position of the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 from second gear to neutral.
In step S27, the target secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec * is set to a value obtained by multiplying the rotational speed of the rotating shaft 46 by the gear ratio of the first speed. Further, a value obtained by subtracting the actual secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec from the target secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec * is calculated as the error amount ΔN. Next, as the target primary pulley rotational speed Npri *, a value P × ΔN obtained by multiplying the error amount ΔN by the P gain and a value I obtained by multiplying the integral value of the error amount ΔN by the I gain × ∫ΔN is added. Then, a value obtained by dividing the target primary pulley rotational speed Npri * by the actual secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec is set as the target pulley speed ratio. Thereby, the rotational speed of the rotating shaft 43 is synchronized with the value obtained by multiplying the rotating shaft 46 by the gear ratio of the first speed.
In step S28, it is determined whether or not actual secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec substantially matches target secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec *. If it is determined that they substantially match, the process proceeds to step S29, otherwise the process returns to step S27. And continue the synchronization process.
In step S29, the switching electric actuator 50B is operated to change the gear position of the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 from neutral to first gear.

FIG. 20 is a time chart showing a drive-time shift control process when the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 of the first embodiment downshifts from second gear to first gear. The rotational speed of the first notch plate 110 and the rotational speed of the second notch plate 210 match the motor rotational speed Nm, and the rotational speed of the second pocket plate 220 matches the primary pulley rotational speed Npri. The rotation speed of the pocket plate 120 coincides with the MD rotation speed Nmd.
At time t1, when the driver depresses the accelerator pedal and the target through speed ratio becomes lower than the direct gear ratio, a downshift request is issued to the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4. Therefore, in order to switch from the CVT mode to the Direct mode, the variator 3 starts downshifting, and the motor rotation speed Nm and the primary pulley rotation speed Npri start to rise.
At time t2, as described in phase P3 of FIG. 11, the rotational speed of the first notch plate 110 is higher than that of the first pocket plate 120, and the primary pulley rotational speed Npri reaches the target primary pulley rotational speed Npri *. And maintain.
At time t3, the phase of the second strut 132, the first engagement recess 115, and the second strut 132 of the first pocket plate 120 occurs at an instant, the wall 115b of the first engagement recess 115 and the second strut 132 Engages and switches from the torque transmission state at the second SOWC 200 to the torque transmission state at the first SOWC 100. As a result, the torque of the drive motor 1 is transmitted to the drive wheel WD via the direct coupling gear mechanism 20. The through gear ratio at this time is constant at the direct gear ratio. At this time, when the acceleration request is small, the shift speed is small and the predetermined value A is also small, so that it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a shock when the second strut 132 is engaged with the first engagement recess 115. On the other hand, when the acceleration demand is large, the shift speed is large and the predetermined value A is also large, so that the phase difference can be quickly eliminated, and the torque transmission path can be quickly changed. In particular, it is possible to suppress the stagnation of the transmission ratio at a scene where quick acceleration is required, such as at the time of kick down.
After detecting the switching from the torque transmission state in the second SOWC 200 to the torque transmission state in the first SOWC 100 at time t4, the switching electric actuator 50B is operated to switch the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 from second gear to neutral. Then, a target secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec * corresponding to the case where the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 is in first gear is calculated, and a target primary pulley rotational speed Npri * and a target pulley gear ratio corresponding to the target secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec * Is set. After setting, the variator 3 upshifts, the primary pulley rotational speed Npri decreases, and the secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec increases. Thereby, when the subtransmission mechanism 4 is downshifted to the first speed, the rotational speed of the rotating shaft 43 and the gear 41 for achieving the first speed are synchronized.
At time t5, when the rotational speed of the rotary shaft 43 and the gear 41 are synchronized, the switching electric actuator 50B is operated to switch the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 from neutral to first gear. Then, in order to start switching from the Direct mode to the CVT mode, the target pulley gear ratio of the variator 3 (target is set so that the rotational speed of the pocket plate 220 of the second SOWC 200 becomes lower than the rotational speed of the second notch plate 210. The primary pulley rotational speed Npri *) is set, and downshifting is performed. Then, at time t6, the variator 3 reaches the target pulley gear ratio, and at time t7, when the second strut 232 and the second engagement recess 215 engage with each other when the phase difference is eliminated, the torque transmission path 1 Switch from SOWC 100 to second SOWC 200 Then, at time t8, the switching of the torque transmission path from the first SOWC 100 to the second SOWC 200 is detected, and the gear ratio of variator 3 is controlled to attain target primary pulley rotational speed Npri * (through) according to the target through speed ratio. The control of the downshift of the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 and the control of the through transmission ratio associated therewith are ended.

FIG. 21 is a time chart showing a coasting shift control process when the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 of the first embodiment downshifts from second gear to first gear.
At time t1, because of coasting, the variator 3 is downshifted at a preset slow shift speed min. Thereby, when the double engagement shown in the above-mentioned phase P3 occurs, the engagement between the first engaging recess 115 of the first notch plate 110 and the second strut 132 integrally moving with the first pocket plate 120 Control the shock in
At time t2, double meshing occurs, and the primary pulley rotational speed Npri and the secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec are forced to have a relationship according to the direct gear ratio. However, the variator 3 continues downshifting, and the belt slip rate gradually increases.
At time t3, when the belt slip ratio exceeds a predetermined value representing double meshing, the variator 3 is upshifted at a preset high shift speed max.
At time t4, when double engagement occurs, the torque acting between the first strut 231 and the wall portion 215b of the second engagement recess 215 of the second notch plate 210 is quickly released, and the second ring member 251 The first strut 231 and the second strut 232 are accommodated in the second engagement recess 215. Thereby, the engagement between the second notch plate 210 and the second pocket plate 220 is released.

At time t5, primary pulley rotational speed Npri is lower than a value obtained by subtracting motor rotation speed Nm by predetermined value α, and since motor rotational speed Nm matches MD rotational speed Nmd, switching electric actuator 50B To shift the gear position of the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 from second gear to neutral. Then, the pulley gear ratio is controlled so that the secondary pulley rotational speed is equal to the rotational speed of the rotary shaft 46 multiplied by the gear ratio of the first speed.
At time t6, when the secondary pulley rotational speed Nsec is synchronized with the rotational speed Nout of the rotary shaft 46 driven at the direct gear ratio, the switching electric actuator 50B is operated to shift the gear position of the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 to neutral 1 Change to fast. Then, preparation for switching from the Direct mode to the CVT mode is started, and a value obtained by adding a predetermined value β to the MD rotational speed Nmd is set as the target primary pulley rotational speed Npri *, and the shift of the variator 3 is started.

  At time t7, when the primary pulley rotational speed Npri reaches the value obtained by adding the predetermined value β to the MD rotational speed Nmd, the rotational speed of the second pocket plate 220 of the second SOWC 200 and the rotational speed of the second notch plate 210 are synchronized. It is determined that the shift mode is the shift control process from the Direct mode to the CVT mode, the upshift of the variator 3 is performed at a preset slow shift speed min. At time t8, primary pulley rotational speed Npri starts to fall below MD rotational speed Nmd, and double meshing occurs at time t9.

When occurrence of double engagement is detected at time t10, the variator 3 is downshifted at a preset high shift speed max. Thereby, when double engagement occurs, the torque acting between the first strut 131 and the wall portion 115 b of the first engagement recess 115 of the first notch plate 110 is quickly released. By this torque release, the first strut 131 and the second strut 132 are accommodated in the first engagement recess 115 by the first ring member 151, and the engagement between the first notch plate 110 and the first pocket plate 120 is released. .
At time t11, when the torque transmission path is switched from first SOWC 100 to second SOWC 200, primary pulley rotational speed Npri is larger than MD rotational speed Nmd, and primary pulley rotational speed Npri matches motor rotational speed Nm. Finish.

(Relationship between the regulating member and the first and second struts)
Next, the relationship between the directions of the restricting member and the first and second struts will be described. The first strut is a strut whose oscillation is regulated until the regulating member pivots, and the second strut is a strut which pivots the regulating member to release the regulation of the first strut. Here, in the CVT mode at the time of driving, a type in which torque transmission is performed by the second strut 232 is A type, and a type in which torque transmission is performed by the first strut 231 is B type. Further, in the Direct mode at the time of driving, a type in which torque transmission is performed by the second strut 132 is C type, and a type in which torque transmission is performed by the first strut 131 is D type.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the torque transmission is performed by the second strut 232 of the second SOWC 200 in the CVT mode in the drive state, and the torque transmission is performed by the second strut 132 of the first SOWC 100 in the Direct mode in the drive state. It is. Therefore, in the first embodiment, the A type and the C type are combined. Since this combination can be otherwise taken, the combination of A type and D type is comparative example 1, the combination of B type and C type is comparative example 2, and the combination of B type and D type is It is defined as Comparative Example 3.

  FIG. 21 is a diagram showing the presence or absence of double meshing in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1-3. In each format of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1-3, when the drive state and the coast state are divided, when switching from the CVT mode to the Direct mode, and when switching from the Direct mode to the CVT mode, double meshing is performed. We examined the existence of the scene where This is because, due to the mechanical configuration of the selectable one-way clutch, double meshing always occurs in two situations regardless of which type of Embodiment 1 and Comparative Example 1-3.

  In the first embodiment, double engagement does not occur in mode switching in the drive state, but double engagement occurs in mode switching in the coast state. In other comparative examples 1-3, it turns out that double meshing generate | occur | produces by mode switching of a drive state in all. As described above, when double engagement occurs, if the torque acting on the strut is large, the strut can not be released, and the torque circulation amount at the time of double engagement increases. Therefore, it is important that even if double engagement occurs, the torque acting on the struts is small.

  Basically, in the drive state, the torque to be transmitted is larger than that in the coast state, so the torque acting on the struts is large, and in the coast state, the torque acting on the struts is small. Therefore, as in the first embodiment, in mode switching in the drive state, by preventing double meshing from occurring, torque fluctuation can be suppressed even if large torque is applied. In particular, even at the time of gear change where responsiveness is required as at the time of kick down, it is not necessary to perform control for suppressing or releasing double engagement and mechanical switching is performed, so that smooth gear change can be realized. In addition, mode switching in the coast state has a small torque acting on the struts and does not require a shift response such as kickdown, so even if double engagement occurs, the driver's sense of discomfort is small, and If the double engagement suppression control is performed in parallel, it is possible to further suppress the torque fluctuation without giving a sense of discomfort to the driver. Incidentally, since the shift of the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 does not relatively require a shift speed, even if the configuration of the first embodiment is adopted, the influence on the other shifts can be minimized.

As described above, in the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) A variator 3 (first transmission) connected to the drive motor 1 (power source) via a second SOWC 200 (second clutch),
An auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 (second transmission) provided between an output portion of the variator 3 and the drive wheel WD and having a plurality of gear ratios,
An output gear connected between the output portion of the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 and the drive wheel WD, which is connected to the drive motor 1 via the first SOWC 100 (first clutch), the output gear of the sub transmission mechanism 4 and the drive gear WD. A direct coupling gear mechanism 20 having a gear 22;
Equipped with
The first SOWC 100 is engaged when the second SOWC 200 is released, and mechanically released using switching of the relative rotational direction between the drive motor 1 and the input portion of the variator 3 when the second SOWC 200 is engaged. It is a clutch that
The second SOWC 200 is engaged when the first SOWC 100 is released, and is mechanically disengaged by switching the relative rotational direction between the drive motor 1 and the input gear 21 when the first SOWC 100 is engaged. And
When it is determined that the first SOWC 100 and the second SOWC 200 need to be switched, the relative rotational direction between the drive motor 1 and the input gear 21 and the relative rotational direction between the drive motor 1 and the input portion of the variator 3 are , Change by the shift of the variator 3 (clutch switching means),
When the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 shifts, the first SOWC 100 is engaged, the second SOWC 200 is released, the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 is switched from the pre-shift gear ratio to the neutral state, and the variator 3 is shifted. The rotational speed is synchronized with the rotational speed of the post-shift transmission ratio of the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 to shift to the post-shift transmission ratio (shift control means).
For example, when upshifting the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 from the first speed to the second speed, a value obtained by multiplying the rotational speed of the rotating shaft 43 (the input side of the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4) by the gear ratio of the second speed by the rotating shaft 46 Synchronize with (the rotational speed of the post-shift gear of the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4). Therefore, the shift of the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 can be reliably achieved.

(2) After shifting of the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 is completed, the relative rotational direction between the drive motor 1 and the input gear 21 and the relative rotational direction between the drive motor 1 and the input side of the variator 3 are changed By switching, the first SOWC 100 is released and the second SOWC 200 is engaged.
Therefore, the gear shift can be performed in a state in which the torque transmission path by the direct coupling gear mechanism 20 is secured, and the gear shift can be stably performed without regard to the gear shift speed and the gear shift shock.

(3) Before turning the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 into neutral, the relative rotational direction between the drive motor 1 and the input gear 21 and the relative rotational direction between the drive motor 1 and the input side of the variator 3 By switching by shifting, the first SOWC 100 is engaged and the second SOWC 200 is released.
Therefore, the engagement and release of the first SOWC 100 and the second SOWC 200 can be switched by the shift of the variator 3, and the feeling of running when connecting and disconnecting the direct coupling gear 20 can be suppressed.

(4) The first SOWC 100 is recessed in a surface opposite to the first notch plate 110 having the plurality of first engagement recesses 115 recessed in the disposition surface 112 a and the disposition surface of the first notch plate 110. First pocket plate 120 having a plurality of first and second receiving recesses 121 and 122, and the first and second receiving recesses 121 And a plurality of first clutch side struts 130 which restrict relative rotation between the first notch plate 110 and the first pocket plate 120 by engaging with the first engaging recess 115; One of the first pocket plates 120 is connected to the drive motor 1, and the other is connected to the input gear 21,
The second SOWC 200 includes a second notch plate 210 having a plurality of second engagement recesses 215 recessed in the disposition surface, and a plurality of first and second recesses formed on the disposition surface of the second notch plate 210. The second pocket plate 220 having the storage recesses 221 and 222, and the first and second storage recesses 221 and 222, respectively, are swung toward the second engagement recess 215 to engage with the second engagement recess 215. And a plurality of second clutch side struts 230 which restrict relative rotation between the second notch plate 210 and the second pocket plate 220, and any one of the second notch plate 210 and the second pocket plate 220. One is connected to the drive motor 1 and the other is connected to the input of the variator 3,
The first clutch side strut 130 has a first clutch side first strut 131 which restricts the first notch plate 110 to turn to one side with respect to the first pocket plate 120, and a first notch plate 110 which is a first strut. And a first clutch-side second strut 132 for restricting the pocket plate 120 from pivoting to the other side,
The second clutch side strut 230 has a second clutch side first strut 231 for restricting the second notch plate 210 to rotate to one side with respect to the second pocket plate 220, and a second notch plate 210 as a second strut. And a second clutch-side second strut 232 which restricts rotation with respect to the pocket plate 220;

Equipped with
When a state in which power transmission is performed from the drive motor 1 to the drive wheel WD is referred to as a drive state, the drive state is set to rotate to the other side.
Therefore, as in the first embodiment, in mode switching in the drive state, by preventing double meshing from occurring, torque fluctuation can be suppressed even if large torque is applied. In particular, a smooth shift can be realized even at the time of a shift that requires responsiveness, such as at the time of kick down. On the other hand, in mode switching in the coasting state, even if double meshing occurs, the torque generated is small, so torque fluctuation can be suppressed.

(5) The primary pulley rotational speed Npri, which is the rotational speed on the input side of the variator 3, is made higher than the MD rotational speed Nmd, which is the rotational speed of the input gear 21, after the subtransmission mechanism 4 downshifts in the coasting state. Downshift the variator 3 to
As a result, it is possible to obtain a state immediately before the rotational speed of the pocket plate 220 of the second SOWC 200 and the rotational speed of the second notch plate 210 are synchronized, and the power transmission path can be switched quickly.

[Other embodiments]
As mentioned above, although the form for implementing this invention was demonstrated based on the Example, the specific structure of this invention is not limited to the structure shown in the Example, It is a range which does not deviate from the summary of invention. Even if there is a design change or the like, it is included in the present invention.
For example, although the belt slip ratio of the variator 3 is used as means for detecting double engagement in the first embodiment, it may be detected based on the motor torque of the shift motor 81. Specifically, if double meshing occurs while the variator 3 is performing a shift, the load on the shift motor 81 is increased. The double engagement may be detected based on the increase in motor torque accompanying the increase in the load of the speed change motor 81.
Further, as the increase in the belt slip ratio means that the target pulley speed ratio and the actual pulley speed ratio deviate from each other, double meshing may be detected based on the difference between the two.
When the variator 3 is provided with a stroke sensor for detecting the groove width of the primary pulley 30P, the deviation between the pulley transmission ratio and the actual pulley transmission ratio based on the stroke sensor may be detected.

  Moreover, although the example which employ | adopted the variator 3 as a 1st transmission was shown in Example 1, the transmission of a step type may be sufficient. Further, although the shift of the variator 3 is shifted by the shift motor 81, a hydraulic variator may be used. In addition, although the drive motor 1 is adopted as the power source, it may be an internal combustion engine or a hybrid drive engine in which an internal combustion engine and an electric motor are combined. Further, although an example in which the three-position meshing clutch mechanism 5B is adopted as the auxiliary transmission mechanism 4 has been shown, a transmission mechanism may be adopted in which a gear change is performed by control of clutch replacement. Further, instead of the selectable one-way clutch described in the first embodiment, another clutch mechanism may be adopted as long as it can be connected and disconnected by relative rotation.
