Many switches and various instruments are arranged.

[0005] For this reason, the operation of these work levers, switches, shift levers, and the like is extremely complicated.
Extremely high skill is required. However, in consideration of various circumstances such as the aging of skilled workers and the decrease in the absolute number in recent years, operability is simplified as much as possible, making it relatively easy for non-skilled workers to use these construction equipment and industrial machinery. It is desirable to be able to drive vehicles (these are simply referred to as vehicles).

[0006] In addition, an inching valve for controlling the engagement hydraulic pressure of the friction engagement element such as the clutch at the time of a gear shift operation has conventionally been mechanically connected to an inching pedal in a driver's seat via a linkage. Therefore, there is a restriction on the layout of the inching valve, and there is a problem that the structure of the valve becomes more complicated as the area of the pressure receiving chamber is increased in order to increase the valve responsiveness.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is based on the above-mentioned knowledge, and can automatically select an optimum gear position according to the driving condition of a vehicle and can also perform manual gear shifting as required. An object of the present invention is to provide a low-cost DPS capable of liberalizing the valve layout and simplifying the structure.

The way in which 55 and 56 work is as shown in FIG. 6, where the symbol ○ in the figure indicates that the clutch is engaged by hydraulic operation.

In this embodiment, when the vehicle is parked by holding the shift lever 62 in the P range, mechanical braking of the drive system is performed in conjunction with the operation of the shift lever 62. A mechanical hydraulic brake 88 whose engagement state is switched via an actuator (not shown) that is interlocked with the operation of 62 is interposed between the planet carrier 51 for level switching and the transmission case 19. An actuator for switching the engagement state of the mechanical hydraulic brake 88 includes:
The operation of the shift lever 62 is interlocked with the hydraulic control device 60 independently.

In order to achieve the gears shown in FIG. 6 described above, the transmission case 19 has a hydraulic pressure for controlling the supply and discharge of pressure oil to and from the clutches 20, 26 and the brakes 35, 38, 43, 48, 55, 56. The control device 60 is assembled.

That is, in the middle of an oil passage 603 connecting the oil pump 59 and the sequence valve 602, the oil pressure in the oil passage 603 is set to a desired value set in advance (hereinafter referred to as a high line pressure). A relief valve 604 to be adjusted below is connected via a pressure adjusting oil passage 605.

Main line oil passage 606 and main pilot oil passage 607
The sequence valve 602 is connected to the main line oil passage 606 to supply the high line pressure supplied from the oil passage 603 to the main pilot oil passage 607 prior to the main line oil passage 606. Is connected to a pressure control valve 608 and a later-described bypass valve 610 incorporating a non-energized closing type solenoid valve 609 for bypass.

The pressure oil in the engaged state can be reduced to realize a so-called half-clutch state of the engine 11, and the pressure reducing valve 615 reduces the pressure oil supplied from the high line oil passage 611 side to the high oil pressure. The line pressure is adjusted to a predetermined desired value (hereinafter, referred to as a low line pressure) and supplied to the low line oil passage 616 side. In other words, the pressure reducing valve 615 supplies hydraulic oil having a lower pressure than the brakes 35, 38, 43, 48, 55, 56 to the clutches 20, 26, and the engagement timing of the clutches 20, 26 at the time of shifting is braked. 35,38,4

And the inching valve 617 is connected to an oil passage 620.
The ECU 63 also receives a detection signal from an inching opening detection sensor 90 that detects the opening of the inching pedal 89. Further, the middle of the oil passage 620 and the bypass valve 610 are connected via a bypass oil passage 621.

In the middle of the high line oil passage 611 between the pressure reducing valve 615 and the high-speed / low-speed switching valve 614, and two brakes 3 for achieving the third, seventh and first and fifth speeds, respectively.
The 1.5-speed-3.5-th control valve controls the supply and discharge of pressure oil to 8,48 and incorporates a 3,7-speed solenoid valve 622 and a 1.5-speed solenoid valve 623 which are closed when not energized. The seven-speed switching valve 624 communicates with each other via a branch high-line oil passage 625, and in the middle of the branch high-line oil passage 625, a fourth-speed / eight-speed or a second-speed / sixth-speed gear stage is provided. Control of the supply and discharge of pressure oil to and from the two brakes 35 and 43, respectively, and the non-energized closed 4/8 speed solenoid valves 626 and 2.6
2-, 6-, 4- and 8-speed switching valve 6 incorporating a speed solenoid valve 627
28 are interposed.

These high / low speed switching valves 614, 1.5 / 5 speed-3
The 7-speed switching valve 624, the 2-6-speed-4 / 8-speed switching valve 628 are all three-position switching valves in which the neutral position is set,
Pressure oil from the main pilot oil passage 607 acts on both sides of these spools (not shown), and by selectively energizing the solenoid valves 612, 613, 622, 623, 626, 627 for shifting, these spools are shifted from the neutral position. The supply and discharge of the high line pressure from the high line oil passage 611 and the branch high line oil passage 625 to the brakes 35, 38, 43, 48, 55, 56 can be switched.

Each of the speed-changing solenoid valves 612, 613, 62
FIG. 9 shows the relationship between the energized state of the solenoids 2,623,626,627 and the reverse electromagnetic valve 618 and the respective shift speeds. The symbol in the figure indicates that these electromagnetic valves 612,613,618,622,623,626,627 are energized, respectively.

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 showing an enlarged sectional structure and an operating state of a portion of the inching valve 617 in this embodiment, an inlet port 629 communicating with the low line oil passage 616 on the upstream side, and an inlet port 629 on the downstream side. Outlet port 63 communicating with oil passage 620
A control spoon 632 and an inching spool 633 each having a cylindrical shape are slidably fitted to the valve body 631 in which the oil discharge port EX connected to the oil reservoir 601 is formed. An annular groove 634 that connects the inlet port 629 and the outlet port 630 or the outlet port 630 and the oil discharge port EX is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the spool 633, and a cylindrical hole of the control spool 632 is formed in the cylindrical hole of the control spool 632. A forward end of a rod 635 that reciprocates via a feed screw by forward and reverse rotations of a step motor 639 described later is slidably fitted.

One end side of the valve body 631 (right side in the figure), one end face of the control spool 632 (right end face in the figure) and the rod 6
A control oil passage 637 with an orifice 638 branching from the middle of the main line oil passage 606 through which high line pressure hydraulic oil flows communicates with the control oil chamber 636 partitioned by the outer peripheral surface of the control oil chamber 636. The oil pressure in the control oil chamber 636 can be reduced by the motor 639 in accordance with the amount of depression of the inching pedal 89. In this embodiment, the inching pedal 8
The number of rotations of the step motor 639 (that is, the stroke of the rod 635) is increased in proportion to the amount of depression of the step No. 9, and the step motor stroke and the hydraulic pressure supplied to the clutches 20 and 26 from the oil passage. Figure 1
The characteristic shown in FIG.

Therefore, a compression coil spring 640 having a spring force smaller than the high line pressure is interposed between the other end surface of the control spool 632 and one end surface (the right end surface in the drawing) of the inching spool 633. A compression coil spring 641 for urging the inching spool 633 toward the other end surface of the control spool 632 is also interposed between the other end of the valve body 631 and the inching spool 633. In addition, an oil hole facing the pressure regulating oil chamber 642 surrounded by the other end of the valve body 631 and the other end of the inching spool 633 is provided at the center of the inching spool 633.
643 is formed, and one end of the oil hole 643 communicates with the annular groove 634 via the communication hole 644. Further, at one end of the inching spool 633, an oil draining oil hole 645 is formed, one end of which faces the cylindrical hole of the control spool 632 and the other end communicates with the oil discharging port EX of the valve body 631. The control spool 632 has an adjusting oil hole 647 that has one end facing the control oil chamber 636 and the other end communicating with the cylindrical hole.

Accordingly, in a state where the high line pressure is supplied from the control oil passage 637 into the control oil chamber 636 while the step motor 639 is not driven, as shown in FIG.
The 632 and the inching spool 633 are urged to the left of the valve body 631. As a result, the inlet port 629 connected to the upstream low line oil passage 616 and the downstream oil passage 62
The low port pressure from the low line oil passage 616 is supplied to the clutches 20 and 26 via the oil passage 620 and the forward / reverse switching valve 619. On the other hand, the communication hole 644 and the oil hole 643
A low line pressure is supplied via.

In this state, when the driver depresses the inching pedal 89 a little, the inching opening sensor 90 detects the opening and a driving signal corresponding to the opening is sent to the ECU 63.
Is supplied to the step motor 639, and the rod 635 strokes to the right so that the adjusting oil hole 647 and the oil discharging oil hole 645 communicate with each other through the cylindrical hole of the control spool 632. The description so far is the state of the regions a and b in FIG. From here, when the inching pedal 89 is further depressed, the adjusting oil hole 647 and the oil discharging oil hole 645 communicate with each other, and the pressure oil in the control oil chamber 636 decreases.
The rod 32 moves to the right to weaken the spring load of the compression coil spring 640, and again the communication between the adjusting oil hole 647 and the oil discharging oil hole 645 is interrupted by the rod 635, and the inching is performed according to the pressure balance at this time. The spool 633 also moves as shown in FIG. 11, and the area of c to d in FIG. 12 is achieved. As a result, the inching spool 638 can block the inlet port 629 in response to the change in the amount of depression of the inching pedal 89, and at the same time, the outlet port 630 and the oil discharge port EX can communicate with each other via the annular groove 634. When the inching pedal 89 is further depressed from the state shown in FIG. 11, the pressure oil supplied to the clutches 20, 26 is discharged through the forward / reverse switching valve 619 and the oil passage 620. In this way, the half-clutch state according to the depression amount of the inching pedal 89 is realized in the regions c to d in FIG.

The bypass valve 610 connecting the main line oil passage 606 and the bypass oil passage 621 applies the high line pressure from the main line oil passage 606 only at the beginning of a gear shift to the bypass oil passage 621, the oil passage 620 and the front and rear. Clutches 20 and 26 via the forward switching valve 619
One side of a spool (not shown), which is a type of two-position switching valve adapted to be supplied to the side, and is provided with a non-energized closing type bypass solenoid valve 609 in which the energized state is maintained for a certain period of time by the ECU 63 in accordance with the shift operation. The pilot pressure branched from the energized main line oil passage 606 decreases, and the main line oil passage 606 and the bypass oil passage 621 communicate with each other.

That is, the clutch 2
Supply hydraulic pressure to 0,26 is temporarily reduced, and brake 3
After performing the selective engagement operation and the release operation for 5, 38, 43, 48, 55, and 56, the hydraulic oil is again applied to the clutch 20,
When supplying to the 26 side and engaging it, the bypass solenoid valve 609 is energized for a certain period of time, and the high line pressure from the main line oil passage 606 is temporarily passed through the bypass oil passage 621 and the oil passage 620. It is supplied from the forward / reverse switching valve 619 to the clutches 20, 26 as it is. As a result, the time required for backlash before the engagement of the clutches 20 and 26 actually starts is reduced,
It is possible to shorten the time until the shift is completed.

Therefore, the energizing time for the bypass solenoid valve 609 is determined by the following procedure: when the hydraulic oil is temporarily drained from the clutches 20 and 26 with the start of the gear shift, and then the hydraulic oil is supplied again and engaged. What is necessary is just to set in accordance with the time required for the clearance before the engagement actually starts.

FIG. 7 and the sequence valve 602, the pressure control valve 608,
As shown in FIG. 13 showing an enlarged sectional structure of a portion of the pressure reducing valve 615, the sequence valve 602 includes an inlet port 650 connected to an oil passage 603, and a main outlet port 65 connected to a main line oil passage 606.
1 and a pilot outlet port 652 connected to the main pilot oil passage 607, and the oil sump 6
A valve body 653 having an oil discharge port EX _1, EX ₂ communicating with the 01, a spool 655 which forms an annular groove 654 in the central portion, slidably in one end of the spool 655 (left side in the figure) A compression coil spring interposed between the combined plug 656 and the spool 655 and the valve body 653 to bias the spool 655 toward the plug 656.
657. The oil chamber 658 and the annular groove 654 surrounded by the spool 655 and the plug 656 are in communication with each other through an oil hole 659.

Therefore, when high line pressure is not supplied from the oil passage 603 to the inlet port 650, the spool 655 is pressed against one end of the valve body 653 by the spring force of the compression coil spring 657 as shown in FIG. 651 is spool 655
It is in a state of being closed by. Here, when high line pressure is supplied from the oil passage 603 to the inlet port 650, high line pressure is supplied to the main pilot oil passage 607 from the pilot outlet port 652 which is in communication with the inlet port 650 via the annular groove 654. The pilot pressure from the main pilot oil passage 607 is changed to a high-speed / low-speed switching valve 614, a forward / reverse switching valve 619, a 1.5-speed-3.
It acts on the 7-speed switching valve 624 and the 2 / 6-speed-4 / 8-speed switching valve 628, respectively.

In this state, as high-pressure oil is further supplied to the sequence valve 602, high-line pressure is also supplied from the oil hole 659 into the oil chamber 658, and the spool 655 is compressed by the compression coil spring 657. It gradually moves to the other end side (the right side in the figure) of the valve body 653 against the spring force. As a result, the inlet port 650 communicates with the main outlet port 651 via the annular groove 654, while the pilot outlet port 652 is closed by the spool 655, and the high line pressure is controlled from the main line oil passage 606 by the pressure control. It is supplied to the valve 608 side.

When the pressure oil in the oil chamber 658 is discharged from _one oil discharge port EX1 through the gap between the spool 655 and the plug 656, the spool 655 is pushed back again by the spring force of the compression coil spring 657. As a result, the inlet port 650 and the pilot outlet port 652 communicate with each other.

The pressure control valve 608 is connected to the brakes 35, 38, 43, 48, 55, 56 and the clutch 2 during shifting.
This is for gradually increasing the supply oil pressure to the oil tanks 0, 26 from a low pressure to a high pressure, and communicates with an inlet port 660 connected to the main line oil passage 606, an outlet port 661 connected to the high line oil passage 611, and the oil sump 601. A valve body 662 having an oil discharge port EX, and an inlet port 660 and an outlet port 66
Spool with an annular groove 663 formed in the center that can communicate with 1
664 and a piston 665 with a larger outer diameter than this spool 664
And a compression coil spring 666 interposed between the piston 665 and the spool 664. The spool 664 has an oil chamber opening at one end of the spool 664.
The oil chamber 667 and the annular groove 663 are in communication with each other via an oil hole 668. A pressure regulating chamber 669 partitioned by the other end of the valve body 662 and the piston 665 is connected to a high-line oil passage via a pressure regulating oil passage 671 provided with an orifice 670 in the middle.
Connected to 611.

Here, the pressure oil in the pressure adjusting oil passage 671 is rapidly discharged at the time of the gear shifting operation, and the piston 665 is quickly returned to the state shown in FIG. In order to shift the oil pressure to the lowest state, the pilot pressure from the high line oil passage 611 and the pressure oil passage 671 acts on both sides of a spool (not shown) in the middle of the drain oil passage 672 branched from the pressure adjustment oil passage 671. The switched switching valve 673 is interposed. The pilot oil passage 674 for guiding the pilot pressure from the pressure adjusting oil passage 671
In the middle of the operation, a non-energizing closed solenoid valve that duty-controls the rise of the hydraulic pressure in the pressure regulating oil passage 671 during shifting
675 are provided.

Therefore, when the gear change operation is started in the state shown in FIG. 13, the brakes 35, 38, 43, 48, 5
Since the pressure oil is discharged from the engagement state of 5,56, the pilot pressure on the opposite side to the pilot oil passage 674 is temporarily reduced, and the position of the switching valve 673 is switched. The pressure oil in the pressure chamber 669 is discharged from the pressure adjusting oil passage 671 via the oil discharge passage 672. As a result, the piston 665 is quickly displaced to the other end side of the valve body 662, and the high line
Since the high line pressure hydraulic oil starts to be supplied from the main line oil passage 606 via 1, the pilot pressure on the opposite side to the pilot oil passage 674 increases again, and the position of the switching valve 673 is returned to the original state shown in FIG. Switch to. The pressure control oil passage 671 and the pressure control chamber 6
The hydraulic pressure at 69 increases, and the piston 665 is pressed against one end of the valve body 662 against the spring force of the compression coil spring 666, and the clutches 20, 26 and the brakes 35, 38, 43, 48, 55, 56
The supply oil pressure for the oil gradually rises.

At this time, the duty ratio of the energization state to the solenoid valve 675 is duty-controlled, so that the rate of increase of the supply oil pressure to the clutches 20, 26 and the brakes 35, 38, 43, 48, 55, 56 can be gently corrected. Becomes
A shift operation with almost no shock can be realized.

The pressure reducing valve 615 has a valve body 678 having a through port 676 bridging the high line oil passage 611, an outlet port 677 connected to the low line oil passage 616, and an oil discharge port EX communicating with the oil reservoir 601. And a spool 680 having an annular groove 679 formed on the outer peripheral surface that slides in the valve body 678 and faces the through port 676, and attaches the spool 680 to one end (left side in the figure) of the valve body 678. And a biasing compression coil spring 681. The control oil chamber 682 formed between one end of the valve body 678 and the spool 680 has a control oil passage 683 branched from a high line oil passage 611 between the pressure control valve 608 and the pressure reducing valve 615. Are in communication. Also, the other end of the valve body 678 and the spool
Oil hole formed on the other end of the spool 680
A pressure regulating chamber 685 which can communicate with the outlet port 677 via 684
Are formed.

Therefore, when a high line pressure is supplied from the high line oil passage 611 and the control oil passage 683 to the through port 676 and the control oil chamber 682 in the state shown in FIG. 13, the spool 680 receives the high line pressure. The compression coil spring 68
It moves to the other end side of the valve body 678 against the spring force of 1, and the through port 676 and the outlet port 677 communicate. As a result, the high line pressure from the high line oil passage 611 is supplied to the low line oil passage 616, and the high line pressure is also supplied from the oil hole 684 to the inside of the pressure regulation chamber 685.

At this time, the oil discharge port EX is closed by the spool 680, and the spool 680 is again moved to one end of the valve body 678 by the hydraulic pressure of the pressure regulating chamber 685 and the spring force of the compression coil spring 681. Is pushed back to. As a result, the pressure regulation chamber 685 communicates with the oil discharge port EX, and the oil pressure in the low line oil passage 616 decreases. In this way, the spool 680 reciprocates in the valve body 678, and the pressure oil supplied to the low line oil passage 616 is adjusted to the low line pressure.

When the shift lever 62 is selected to the P range, only the neutral solenoid valve 612 is energized, and the pressure oil is discharged from all the brakes 35, 38, 43, 48, 55, 56, and Only the clutch 26 can be engaged. However, in this case, the pressure oil in the control oil chamber 682 is drained through the oil passage 686 that connects the high-speed / low-speed switching valve 614 and the control oil passage 683. 7
And the state shown in FIG. Then, the pressure oil supplied to the forward clutch 26 is supplied to the oil passage 620, the inching valve 617,
Oil is discharged from the oil discharge port EX of the pressure reducing valve 615 via the low line oil passage 616, and as a result, the forward clutch 26 is also substantially released, and a driving force is transmitted from the transmission input shaft 14 to the drive gear 24 side. An untransmitted neutral state is achieved. On the other hand, in the P range, the mechanical hydraulic brake 88 is engaged by an actuator (not shown), and the rotation of the transmission output shaft 50 is mechanically restricted.

When the shift lever 62 is selected in the N range, the neutral solenoid valve 61 is operated in the same manner as in the P range.
Only 2 is energized and all brakes 35, 38, 4
The pressure oil is discharged from 3, 48, 55, and 56, and only the forward clutch 26 can be engaged.
6 is also substantially in the open state, and a neutral state in which the driving force is not transmitted from the transmission input shaft 14 to the drive gear 24 side is realized. In this case, as a matter of course, the mechanical hydraulic brake 88 is open.

When the shift lever 62 is selected to the D range, the ECU 63 determines a map as shown in FIG. 14 in a ROM stored in the ECU 63 in advance based on detection signals from the vehicle speed sensor 67 and the accelerator opening sensor 70. , An optimal gear position for the current operation state is read from the controller. If the gear position does not match the current gear position, the gear shift operation described below is automatically performed. In this case, the current gear stage is determined by the EC for each solenoid valve 612, 613, 618, 622, 623, 626, 627 for shifting.
It is calculated in the ECU 63 based on the output signal from U63.

That is, when a shift start signal is output, the corresponding shift electromagnetic valves 612, 613, 618, 622, 623, 62 correspond to the shift start signal.
The energization state for 6,627 is selectively switched. In this case, as described above, the switching valve 673 temporarily opens the oil discharge passage 672 to quickly move the piston 665 of the pressure control 608 to the right side in the drawing, so that the high line oil The high line pressure of the road 611 has dropped to the lowest state, and from this state the high line pressure gradually rises with the duty of the solenoid valve 675, and a smooth shift operation with almost no shift shock is performed.

At this time, the bypass valve 610 temporarily connects the main line oil passage 606 and the bypass oil passage 621 by the bypass solenoid valve 609 in parallel with the rise of the high line pressure.
As a result, the high line pressure is supplied from the oil passage 620 to the clutches 20 and 26 via the forward / reverse switching valve 619, and the backlash is quickly performed so that the engagement operation by the low line pressure is performed. Thus, the time until the shift is completed can be shortened.

The shift map shown in FIG. 14 is a power mode map that draws out the driving force of the engine 11 while maintaining the shift speed on the low speed side with respect to the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal 69, but in the present embodiment. In addition, accelerator pedal 6
There is also a not-shown economy mode shift map that makes it easy to shift to the higher gear stage for the depression amount of 9 and saves fuel. For this reason, a fuel consumption mode changeover switch 91 is provided in the cabin (not shown) for selecting the switching between the power mode and the economy mode, and a detection signal from the fuel consumption mode changeover switch 91 is output to the ECU 63. ing.

The information on the shift mode selected by the fuel efficiency mode changeover switch 91 is displayed on an operating state display device 92 provided on a steering console (not shown) in the cabin. The information on the gear position and the position of the shift lever 62 are also displayed at the same time.

As is apparent from the shift map shown in FIG. 14, in the present embodiment, the gear ratios are very close to the second and fourth speeds in the automatic shifting in the D range or the fifth range. The shift operation to the third gear is not performed, and a so-called jump shift is automatically performed between the second gear and the fourth gear.

When the shift mode changeover switch 71 is operated once from the state of the automatic shift mode in which the shift lever 62 is set to the D range, the driver enters the manual shift mode desired by the driver and the current shift mode is set. The gear position is maintained as it is. When the shift lever 62 is operated once, for example, to the UP position, the output signal from the reference position sensor 81 is turned off and the output signal from the upshift switch 82 is turned on. The shift operation of the upshift that is advanced by one is performed, and the shift operation itself is performed in the same manner as the shift operation in the D range described above.

When shifting from a high gear to a low gear, for example, if the gearshift lever 62 is operated five times successively from the eighth gear to the DW position to desire a sudden downshift to the third gear, If there is a possibility that the engine speed may exceed the critical speed if the speed change is performed in this state, the shift is not started until the engine speed decreases to a safe speed. Similarly, in the case of operating the forward / reverse switching lever 61 to switch the traveling direction of the vehicle, the shift operation is not performed until the vehicle completely stops based on the detection signal from the vehicle speed sensor 67. This is the same even in the case of the automatic transmission in which the D range, 5 range or 3 range is selected.

When the shift lever 62 is selected in five ranges, a shift operation is automatically performed according to the shift map in the economy mode (not shown) in FIG. 14 based on the detection signals from the vehicle speed sensor 67 and the accelerator opening sensor 70. However, in these five ranges, all the high gears above the sixth gear are clipped to the sixth gear, and the gears are not shifted to the seventh gear or more. Also in this case, the third gear is not selected as in the case of the D range, and the jump gear is automatically performed between the second gear and the fourth gear.

Similarly, when the shift lever 62 is selected to be in three ranges, it is not shown in FIG. 14 or not shown based on the detection signals from the vehicle speed sensor 67 and the accelerator opening sensor 70 just like the case of the five ranges described above. The shift operation is automatically performed according to the shift map in economy mode.
In the three ranges, all the higher gears than the fourth gear are clipped to the fourth gear, and the gear is not shifted to the higher gear than the fifth gear. Also in this case, similarly to the D range and the fifth range, the third speed is not selected, and the jump speed is automatically performed between the second speed and the fourth speed.

As shown in FIG. 15 showing the flow of such a shift operation process, when the ignition key switch (not shown) is turned on, the engine 1 is first turned on in step S1.
In step S2, various initial values for the control of the driving state and the shift control are set, and the vehicle speed is calculated based on the detection signal from the vehicle speed sensor 67 in step S2. The accelerator opening is calculated based on the accelerator opening.

Next, in step S3, the selected positions of the forward / reverse switch 61, the shift position sensor 68, and the fuel efficiency mode switch 91 are detected, and the high / low speed switch valve 614 and the forward / reverse switch valves 619, 1.5 are detected. The current gear position is calculated in step S4 based on the output signals to the speed-3 / 7 speed switching valve 624 and the 2.6-6 speed-8 / 8 speed switching valve 628.

Then, in step S5, these information are output to the operation state display device 92. In step S6, calculation errors and abnormalities in the ECU 63 are detected. Is output to the operation state display device 92.

Thereafter, the vehicle speed information and the accelerator opening information and the fuel efficiency mode changeover switch 91 shown in FIG.
4 or a shift map in the economy mode (not shown) in step S7.
The ideal shift timing for the position of the shift lever 62 at 8 is calculated. Then, this is output to the hydraulic control device 60 in step S8, and a predetermined shift operation is performed.

The above steps S1 to S8 are repeated every control cycle (for example, every 15 milliseconds) until the ignition key switch (not shown) is turned off.

In this embodiment, an emergency electronic control unit 93 is provided for enabling manual shift operation when the ECU 63 fails. The emergency electronic control unit 93 includes the ECU 63 and the emergency electronic control unit 93. Power switch 94 for operating one of the electronic control units 93
And F2 (second forward speed), N (neutral), and R2 (second forward speed) for emergency escape, which can realize the second forward speed, the neutral speed, and the second reverse speed without operating the forward / reverse selector switch and the shift lever 62. And a position change-over switch 95 for selecting a position (reverse second speed).

Therefore, when the operation of the ECU 63 is selected by operating the power switch 94, the power supply 96 and the EC
While U63 is electrically connected, the power supply to the emergency electronic control unit 93 is cut off, and the above-described normal gear shifting operation becomes possible.

If the ECU 63 does not operate normally for some reason, the fact that an abnormality has occurred in the ECU 63 is displayed on the driving information display device 92. The driver operates the power switch 94 based on this information. . As a result, the operation of the emergency electronic control unit 93 is selected, and the power supply 96 and the emergency electronic control unit 93 are electrically connected, while the power supply to the ECU 63 is cut off, and the position corresponding to the position of the position switch 95 is switched. The gear to be shifted is the hydraulic control device 6
Achieved via 0.
