BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a vehicle speed change drive device including a belt type continuously variable transmission.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a vehicular speed change drive apparatus that performs a speed change by a belt type continuously variable transmission, the shift control of the belt type continuously variable transmission is usually performed by a hydraulic control system by a hydraulic circuit. In this case, the oil pressure source that operates the oil pressure circuit has been conventionally an oil pump that is generally driven by a vehicle engine. However, in recent years, the above hydraulic circuit is used for eco-run cars, idle-stop cars, or hybrid cars that temporarily stop the engine during vehicle operation, which has been emphasized from the viewpoint of saving oil resources and environmental conservation. The hydraulic pressure source to be operated must rely on a pump driven by an electric motor at least when the engine is stopped. When an oil pump driven by an electric motor is used as a hydraulic pressure source for speed change control of a belt type continuously variable transmission, there is a merit that its operation can be electrically finely controlled unlike an oil pump driven by an engine. For example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 below describe that a belt-type continuously variable transmission in a vehicle transmission drive device is controlled by a computer. On the other hand, in Patent Document 3 below, an oil pump driven by an engine and an oil pump driven by an electric motor are provided in parallel as means for supplying hydraulic oil for an automatic transmission of an automatic engine stop type vehicle. In addition, it is described that the electric motor drive pump is operated only when the engine is automatically stopped.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention provides a hydraulic power source for speed change control in order to apply a vehicle speed change drive device that changes speed by a belt type continuously variable transmission to a vehicle that automatically stops an engine such as an eco-run vehicle, an idle stop vehicle, or a hybrid vehicle. However, in this case, the oil pump driven by the electric motor is not only used for the shift control of the belt-type continuously variable transmission, but also the eco-run vehicle, the idle Even if the vehicle does not automatically stop the engine such as a stop vehicle or a hybrid vehicle, the belt-type continuously variable transmission is controlled by the electric oil pump, and the shift drive device is lubricated by the engine-driven oil pump. The electric oil pump is operated more effectively when the vehicle is towed due to engine failure or other reasons. It has an object to provide a vehicular variable speed drive that.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
What solves the above problems When Thus, the present invention provides a first oil pump driven by an electric motor, a belt-type continuously variable transmission controlled to be shifted by oil discharged from the first oil pump, and a second oil driven by an engine. When the vehicle is operated with the engine stopped, the vehicle is provided with an oil pump and other drive-related means operated by the oil discharged from the second oil pump during engine operation. Oil path switching means is provided for switching the oil path so that at least a part of the other drive-related means is operated by the discharged oil of the first oil pump. The first oil pump is a reversible pump in which a pair of ports are converted between a suction port and a discharge port by conversion of a rotation direction, and the oil path switching means is connected to the first oil pump during engine operation. A first switching position that forms a transmission ratio control hydraulic circuit that connects the hydraulic transmission ratio control unit of the belt type continuously variable transmission, and the transmission ratio control when the vehicle is operated in an engine stopped state; One part of the first oil pump is used as an oil reservoir and the other port as one of the other drive-related means. Is a switching valve that is switched between a second switching position connected to the section The present invention proposes a vehicular speed change driving device. Here, the operation of the vehicle while the engine is stopped may include a case where the vehicle is towed and travels.
[0005]
When the vehicle is operated with the engine stopped, a part of the other drive-related means to which the oil discharged from the first oil pump is supplied by switching of the oil path switching means is a drive of a vehicle speed change drive device. It may be a friction engagement device that selectively interrupts the middle of the force transmission path, or may be a lubrication system of a vehicular speed change drive device.
[0006]
in front The oil passage switching means is When switched to the second switching position A part of the hydraulic circuit for controlling the gear ratio is closed so as to keep the gear ratio of the belt type continuously variable transmission unchanged. Getting May be.
[0007]
In addition to the first and second switching positions, the switching valve is switched to a third switching position for confining oil in the hydraulic transmission ratio control unit of the belt type continuously variable transmission when not energized. It may be.
[0008]
The vehicle speed change drive device may be provided with an oil passage that connects the discharge port of the second oil pump to the speed change ratio control hydraulic circuit via a check valve. An oil passage that introduces oil discharged from the oil pump to the gear ratio control hydraulic circuit through a check valve is configured to supply the oil discharged from the second oil pump to any of the pair of ports of the first oil pump. Two sets may be provided so as to be supplied.
[0009]
The oil path switching means is responsive to the line oil pressure based on the oil discharged from the second oil pump and opens when the line oil pressure falls below a predetermined pressure, and the first oil pump via the pressure sensitive valve. An oil passage connecting the discharge port to a part of the other drive-related means, or the oil passage switching means is controlled to open when the vehicle is operated in an engine stopped state. And an oil passage that connects the discharge port of the first oil pump to a part of the other drive-related means via the electromagnetic on-off valve.
[0010]
[Action and effect of the invention]
A first oil pump driven by an electric motor, a belt-type continuously variable transmission controlled by a discharge oil of the first oil pump, a second oil pump driven by an engine, and an engine in operation In a vehicle speed change drive device provided with other drive related means operated by oil discharged from the second oil pump, when the vehicle is operated with the engine stopped, the other drive related means If the oil passage switching means for switching the oil passage is provided so that at least a part of the oil oil is operated by the oil discharged from the first oil pump, the first oil pump driven by the electric motor is simply a belt type continuously variable transmission. A second oil pump that is driven by the engine while the engine is running, as well as for gear shifting control of the device Also operates as a means for supplying oil required for its operation to the other driving-related means, which is actuated by the discharge oil, it is possible to expand the utility of the electric oil pump provided spent predetermined cost.
[0011]
The manufacturing cost of the electric oil pump is considerably high, and the additional cost required to provide the oil path switching means is not so high as compared with that. Therefore, by operating the electric oil pump for multiple purposes in this way, the product for the manufacturing cost is reduced. The ratio of value can be greatly increased. On the other hand, if the electric oil pump for speed control of the belt-type continuously variable transmission is not used as a hydraulic power source for other drive-related means, the vehicle is stopped while the engine is stopped. In order to supply hydraulic pressure or oil to such drive-related means, it is necessary to separately provide an electric oil pump dedicated thereto as described in Patent Document 3, but according to the present invention, Additional costs are avoided.
[0012]
When the vehicle is operated with the engine stopped, a part of the other drive-related means to which the oil discharged from the first oil pump is supplied by switching of the oil path switching means is a drive of the vehicle speed change drive device. When the friction engagement device is used to selectively interrupt the middle of the force transmission path, the clutch is not effective in a vehicle that temporarily stops the engine during operation of the vehicle, such as an eco-run vehicle, an idle stop vehicle, or a hybrid vehicle. Such a friction engagement device is an indispensable means, so as long as it is hydraulically operated, an electric oil pump must be prepared separately to control it even when the engine is stopped. A special advantage is obtained in that the electric oil pump provided for the shift control of the belt-type continuously variable transmission is also used.
[0013]
The lubrication system of a vehicle speed change drive device is also a part that requires the oil supply to be maintained during operation of the vehicle. For vehicles that temporarily stop the engine during vehicle operation, this is the engine. When it is covered by a drive oil pump, an electric oil pump must be provided separately. In addition, even when the vehicle is driven by towing due to an engine failure or the like, lubrication of the transmission drive device is required. However, when the vehicle is operated or towed while the engine is stopped, the first oil pump is switched by switching the oil path switching means. When part of the other drive-related means to which the discharge oil is supplied, the oil supply to the lubrication system of the vehicular speed change drive device is performed by a belt type continuously variable transmission device. Particular benefit of being able to cover the combined of provided electric oil pump for the shift control is obtained.
[0014]
The first oil pump is a reversible pump in which a pair of ports are converted between a suction port and a discharge port by changing the rotation direction, and the oil path switching means is in operation with the first oil pump and the belt. A first switching position for forming a gear ratio control hydraulic circuit that connects the hydraulic gear ratio control unit of the continuously variable transmission, and when the vehicle is operated or towed while the engine is stopped A part of the gear ratio control hydraulic circuit is cut off to stop the operation of the gear ratio control hydraulic circuit. At the same time, including a switching valve that is switched between a second switching position that connects one port of the first oil pump to the oil reservoir and the other port to a part of the other drive-related means. When the vehicle is operated with the engine running, the power consumption is kept to a minimum by operating the first oil pump only for the shift control of the belt-type continuously variable transmission, and the vehicle temporarily runs the engine. In view of the fact that the shift control of the belt-type continuously variable transmission device may not normally be performed when the vehicle is operated or towed while being stopped, the first oil pump is disconnected from the shift control of the belt-type continuously variable transmission. The first oil pump can be operated only to supply oil to a part of the other drive-related means instead of the second oil pump. And the capacity of the electric motor that drives the motor needs to satisfy the larger one of the capacity required for each of the above two applications, the cost required for the installation and the power required for the electric drive Consumption can be minimized.
[0015]
In addition to the first and second switching positions, the three-way switching valve is switched to a third switching position that traps oil in the hydraulic transmission ratio control unit of the belt type continuously variable transmission when the switching valve is not energized. If this is the case, the switching between the operating state of the engine and the operating mode of the vehicle speed change drive device during the engine suspension as described above is clarified, and an unclear operating state is avoided during the switching. be able to.
[0016]
In the vehicle speed change drive device as described above, if an oil passage is provided for connecting the discharge port of the second oil pump to the speed ratio control hydraulic circuit via a check valve, a belt type continuously variable transmission device is provided. The pressure increase of the oil required for the first oil pump to pressurize the oil to the hydraulic pressure level necessary for the speed change control of the engine is higher than the pressure increase from the atmospheric pressure during the operation of the engine. There is the advantage that the power consumption required for the first oil pump is reduced by that amount corresponding to the pressure increase of the oil pump. The advantage is that the oil passage for introducing the oil discharged from the second oil pump into the gear ratio control hydraulic circuit through the check valve sends the oil discharged from the second oil pump to the pair of the first oil pump. It is doubled by providing two sets so that it can be supplied to any of the ports.
[0017]
The oil path switching means is responsive to the line oil pressure based on the oil discharged from the second oil pump and opens when the line oil pressure falls below a predetermined pressure, and the first oil pump via the pressure sensitive valve The second oil pump that is driven by the engine when the vehicle enters the engine stop operation, the oil passage connecting the discharge port to the part of the other drive-related means. The first oil pump can be actuated and the connection can be switched in response to a drop in the discharge pressure.
[0018]
The oil path switching means is an electromagnetic on-off valve that is controlled to open when the vehicle is operated with the engine stopped, and the other drive-related means via the electromagnetic on-off valve for connecting the discharge port of the first oil pump. An oil passage connected to the part of the vehicle, the first vehicle as part of the computer control of the vehicle by the electric vehicle operation control device that controls the operation of the vehicle when the vehicle enters the engine stop operation. Oil pump operation and connection switching can be performed.
[0019]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an embodiment of a vehicular speed change drive apparatus using a belt-type continuously variable transmission according to the present invention only with respect to the main part of the invention. This vehicle speed change drive device is applied to a vehicle such as an eco-run vehicle, an idle stop vehicle, or a hybrid vehicle in which the engine is temporarily stopped during the operation of the vehicle.
[0020]
In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes an engine, which, except for the belt type continuously variable transmission, drives a wheel not shown in the figure through a rotational power transmission means not shown in the figure. Yes. The belt type continuously variable transmission which is incorporated in the middle of the rotational power transmission means and performs rotational power shifting has pulley pairs 12 and 14 and a belt 16 stretched between them. In this embodiment, the pulley pair 12 is on the driving side, and the pulley pair 14 is on the driven side. A clutch that is incorporated in the middle of the rotational power transmission means and selectively interrupts the transmission of rotational power is denoted by C1 and designated by reference numeral 18.
[0021]
A first oil pump 20 is driven by an electric motor 22. The oil pump 20 is a reversible pump that reverses the suction side and the discharge side in accordance with the reversal of the direction driven by the electric motor 22. Reference numeral 24 denotes a second oil pump driven by the engine 10.
[0022]
In the belt type continuously variable transmission comprising the pulley pairs 12 and 14 and the endless belt 16, the pulley spacing of each pulley pair is a reciprocal according to the difference between the hydraulic pressures supplied from the oil passages 26 and 28 shown in an illustration. Thus, the speed ratio of the rotation transmitted between the pair of pulleys via the belt is changed. The oil passage 26 is connected to one port 32 of the oil pump 20 by the three-way switching valve 30 or is cut off and blocked from the connection to the oil pump 20. That is, when the three-way switching valve 30 is in the central switching position, the oil passage 26 is blocked from the port 32 of the oil pump 20 and is closed. At this time, the port 32 of the oil pump 20 is also closed, and the oil passage 38 leading to the oil reservoir 36 through the oil filter 34 is also closed. When the three-way switching valve is in the switching position on the right side, the oil passage 26 is connected to the port 32 of the oil pump 20 and the oil passage 38 is closed. When the three-way switching valve is in the left switching position, the oil passage 26 is disconnected and closed from the port 32 of the oil pump 20, and the port 32 of the oil pump 20 is connected to the oil passage 38. The other port 40 of the oil pump 20 is directly connected to the oil passage 28.
[0023]
The oil discharged from the second oil pump 24 driven by the engine 10 is supplied to the clutch 18 via the check valve 42. The pressure of the oil discharged from the second oil pump 24 is opened by a relief valve 44 that opens when the pressure exceeds a predetermined value or under the control of an electric vehicle operation control device not shown in the figure. The oil discharged along with the pressure adjustment is sent to the necessary lubrication point of the speed change drive device of the vehicle. The oil discharged from the oil pump 24 can further flow into the oil passages 26 and 28 via the oil passage 46 and the check valves 48 and 50, respectively.
[0024]
When the three-way switching valve 30 is in the switching position on the right side and the oil passage 26 is connected to the port 32 of the oil pump 20, the speed ratio of the belt-type continuously variable transmission is rotated by the electric motor 22. It is controlled by the driving direction. That is, the relative level of the shift control hydraulic pressure supplied to the pulley pairs 12 and 14 is determined by the rotational direction and rotational speed of the oil pump 20 by the electric motor 22, and the oil pump 20 sets the port 32 to the suction side and the port 40 to When driven toward the discharge side, the pulley interval in the pulley pair 12 increases and the pulley interval in the pulley pair 14 decreases, so that the transmission ratio increases. Conversely, when the oil pump 20 is driven in a direction in which the port 40 is the suction side and the port 32 is the discharge side, the pulley interval in the pulley pair 12 is reduced and the pulley interval in the pulley pair 14 is increased. The gear ratio decreases. At this time, the oil discharged from the engine-driven second oil pump 24 can flow from the oil passage 46 to the oil passages 26 and 28 via the check valves 48 and 50, whereby the engine 10 is operated. When the oil pump 24 generates hydraulic pressure, the electric motor 22 drives the first oil pump 20 in any rotation direction to control the pressure difference between the oil passages 26 and 28. This is performed by the difference in hydraulic pressure added to or subtracted from the hydraulic pressure by the oil pump 24.
[0025]
According to such a configuration, the differential pressure to be generated by the oil pump 20 may be a relatively small value, and the electric motor 22 required for the shift control may be small and consume little power, and the engine is still operating. When the second oil pump 24 is operating, the shift control hydraulic operating portion of the pulley pairs 12 and 14 is at a sufficiently high hydraulic pressure in which the discharge pressure of the oil pump 20 is added to the discharge pressure of the oil pump 24. Since it is actuated, the hydraulic control part for shifting control of the pulley pair 12 and 14 can be surely actuated without fear of causing a stick due to insufficient driving force.
[0026]
The hydraulic circuit including the oil pump 20, the electric motor 22, and the three-way switching valve 30 is a shift control circuit for controlling the shift of the belt type continuously variable transmission. In addition, one port 40 of the oil pump 20 is discharged from the oil pump 24 in this embodiment. oil Is connected to the oil passage 46 by an oil passage 54 including a pressure sensitive valve 52 that opens when the line oil pressure falls below a predetermined pressure. In this case, when the vehicle is controlled to enter into the engine stop operation by an electric vehicle operation control device not shown in the drawing, the three-way switching valve 30 is switched to the switching position on the left side through the central switching position. When the three-way switching valve 30 is switched to the switching position on the left side, the oil passage 26 is disconnected from the port 32 of the oil pump 20 and is closed, so that the pulley interval in the pulley pair 12 is fixed, and the belt type The shift control by the continuously variable transmission is in a locked state in which the temporary gear ratio is fixed.
[0027]
On the other hand, when the engine is stopped, the engine-driven second oil pump 24 is stopped, so that the oil pressure in the oil passage 46 is lowered and the pressure sensitive valve 52 is opened. Therefore, the oil discharged from the oil pump 20 is supplied to the oil passage 46 through the oil passage 54, and becomes a hydraulic pressure source to the clutch C1 and the lubricating system of the vehicle transmission drive device during the engine stop operation. Thus, the first oil pump 20 driven by the electric motor 22 operates as a means for controlling the shift of the belt type continuously variable transmission during the vehicle operation in which the engine is operated, and when the vehicle enters the engine stop operation, Instead of the engine-driven second oil pump 24, it operates as a hydraulic pressure source for the clutch C1, which is one of the other vehicle transmission drive devices, and a lubrication system.
[0028]
FIG. 2 is a schematic view similar to FIG. 1 showing another embodiment in which the pressure sensitive valve 52 in the vehicular speed change driving apparatus shown in FIG. This electromagnetically actuated valve 56 is controlled by an electric vehicle operation control device not shown in the figure, and when the engine is stopped during operation of the vehicle, it is switched to the right position accordingly and opened. At other times, it is switched to the left position to be in a shut-off state. 2 are the same as those in FIG. 1 and operate in the same manner. Therefore, in FIG. 2, parts corresponding to those shown in FIG. 1 are the same as those in FIG. Reference numerals are assigned, and duplicate descriptions of these parts are omitted to avoid redundancy of the specification.
[0029]
FIG. 3 shows a three-way switching valve in the vehicle variable speed drive shown in FIG. 30 FIG. 5 is a schematic view similar to FIGS. 1 and 2 showing still another embodiment in which is replaced with a two-way switching valve 58. Similarly to the three-way switching valve 30, this two-way switching valve 58 is controlled by an electric vehicle operation control device not shown in the drawing, and is switched to the right position during operation of the vehicle with the engine operated. The passage 26 is connected to the port 32 of the oil pump 20, and when the engine is stopped or the vehicle is towed during operation of the vehicle, the oil passage 26 is closed by switching to the left position accordingly. The oil passage 38 is connected to the port 32 of the oil pump 20. Other configurations in FIG. 3 are the same as those in FIG. 1 except for the electromagnetically actuated valve 56 and the two-way switching valve 58, and operate in the same manner. 3 are the same and operate in the same manner. Therefore, in FIG. 3, parts corresponding to those shown in FIG. 1 or 2 are given the same reference numerals as in FIG. The overlapping description of these parts will be omitted to avoid redundancy of the specification.
[0030]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an operation mode of the vehicle speed change driving device shown in FIGS. The control in the operation according to the flowchart is not shown in the figure, but is itself performed by an electric vehicle operation control device having a microcomputer well known in this technical field. It is executed in the vehicle speed change driving device described with reference to FIGS.
[0031]
When the operation of the vehicle is started, the control according to the flowchart shown in the figure is started at the same time, and the control according to each step of the flowchart is repeatedly performed at a predetermined cycle as in the general mode in this type of control.
[0032]
In step 10, it is determined whether or not a condition for stopping the engine during operation of the vehicle is satisfied. If the answer is yes, control proceeds to step 20. In step 20, it is determined whether the flag F is 1 or not. This type of flag is reset to 0 at the start of control, and is set to 1 at a later step 30, so when the control first reaches this step, the answer is no, at which time the control Advances to step 30.
[0033]
In step 30, the engine stop is commanded. Then, the flag F is set to 1 here, and the control proceeds to Step 40.
[0034]
In step 40, it is determined whether or not the engine speed Ne has decreased to a predetermined speed Ne1. This Ne1 is a certain low rotational speed. This is because the rotational speed of the oil pump 24 driven by the engine decreases due to a decrease in the engine rotational speed, and the timing when the pressure sensitive valve 52 opens due to the decrease in the discharge pressure or the electromagnetically operated valve 56. It is the engine speed corresponding to the time to open. The control according to this flowchart repeats the process of returning here until the answer becomes yes, and waits for the engine to approach the stop state.
[0035]
If the answer to step 40 turns from no to yes, control proceeds to step 50 where the three-way switching valve 30 or the two-way switching valve 58 is switched to the left switching position. Control then proceeds to step 60, where the control of the electric motor 22 is changed from gear ratio control to control for driving the oil pump 20 as a hydraulic pressure source for the clutch C1 and the lubrication system.
[0036]
Thus, the engine is stopped during the operation of the vehicle, the control goes through steps 10 to 60 once, the three-way switching valve or the two-way switching valve is switched to the left position, and the gear ratio of the belt type continuously variable transmission is fixed, After the oil discharged from the electric oil pump 20 is supplied to the clutch C1 and the lubrication system, the control in the flowchart of FIG. It is continued on the route that leads to the return through.
[0037]
If the engine stop condition is no longer satisfied, the answer to step 10 changes from yes to no. The answer to step 10 is also negative when the engine stop condition is not satisfied from the beginning and the engine is not temporarily stopped. In either case, control proceeds from step 10 to step 70 at this time, and it is determined whether or not the flag F is 1. If the engine is not temporarily stopped from the beginning, the answer is no, and the control directly returns. On the other hand, when the control over the previous flowchart was performed, the control at the time of stopping the engine was performed. Is in the 1 state, the answer to step 70 is yes, at which time control proceeds to step 80.
[0038]
In step 80, a command for starting the engine is issued, and the flag F is reset to zero. Control then proceeds to step 90, where the control of the motor 22 is returned to the original gear ratio control. Next, at step 100, it is determined whether or not the engine speed Ne has returned to the engine speed Ne1 or higher. As long as the answer is no, control returns. When it is confirmed that the engine speed has returned to Ne1 or more, the control proceeds to step 110, and the three-way switching valve or the two-way switching valve is returned to the right position.
[0039]
FIG. 5 shows a control mode when an electric oil pump provided for shift control of a belt type continuously variable transmission device is used to maintain the lubrication state of the shift drive system while the vehicle is being pulled. It is a flowchart to show. In the flowchart of FIG. 5, steps 50, 60, 90, and 110 perform the same control as steps 50, 60, 90, and 110 in the flowchart of FIG. 4, and are the same as the step numbers in FIG. A step number is assigned.
[0040]
In this embodiment, it is determined in step 15 whether or not the engine is stopped. If the answer is yes, the control proceeds to step 45, where the rotational speed No of the output portion of the vehicle transmission drive device such as the axle is greater than or equal to a predetermined value No1 indicating that the vehicle is being pulled and traveling at a certain speed or higher. It is determined whether or not. When the answer is yes, the control proceeds to step 50, and the control of steps 50 and 60 according to the procedure described in the flowchart of FIG. 4 is performed. At this time, the main purpose is lubrication of the vehicle transmission drive device.
[0041]
When the engine is not stopped and the answer to step 15 is no, the control proceeds to steps 110 and 90, and shift control of the belt-type continuously variable transmission using a normal electric oil pump is performed.
[0042]
Even if the engine is stopped, if the answer to step 45 is no, the control proceeds to step 47, and whether or not the line oil pressure L that becomes the oil source for lubrication of the vehicle transmission drive device is greater than or equal to the predetermined value La. Is judged. If the answer is no, the control proceeds to step 50, and lubrication by the electric oil pump is performed. If the answer is yes, the control proceeds to step 110, and the electric oil pump is maintained in a state where normal gear shift control can be performed. Is done.
[0043]
FIG. 6 is a graph showing changes in some parameters when the vehicle speed change driving device shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is operated according to the flowchart of FIG.
[0044]
Assuming that an engine stop command is issued at time A, the engine speed Ne gradually decreases. When time B is reached, the discharge pressure of the engine-driven oil pump 24 falls below the control pressure of the relief valve 44, so that the predetermined line oil pressure L1 cannot be maintained, and the line oil pressure starts to drop. When reaching time point C, the engine speed falls below Ne1, where the three-way switching valve or the two-way switching valve is switched from the right position to the left position. Accordingly, the control mode of the electric motor 22 with respect to the oil pump 20 is switched from the speed ratio control to the operation as a hydraulic power source when the engine is stopped with respect to the vehicle speed change drive device, and the rotational speed is changed from the speed ratio control speed. To a predetermined value Nm1. When the engine stops at time D, the line hydraulic pressure is maintained at a certain value L2 by the operation of the oil pump 20.
[0045]
When engine start is commanded at time E, the engine speed gradually increases. At the same time as the engine is started, the control of the electric oil pump is returned to the shift control of the belt type continuously variable transmission from the operation as the hydraulic power source of the vehicle speed change drive device. The number gradually decreases from Nm1. When the engine speed reaches Ne1 at time point F, the three-way switching valve or the two-way switching valve is switched to the right position. Thereafter, at time G, the line hydraulic pressure returns to a predetermined controlled value L1, and at time H, the engine speed also reaches the normal speed.
