Description

  The present invention relates to a hydraulic control device for a twin clutch transmission, and more particularly, to a mechanical clutch that is driven using engine power and a twin clutch transmission that has an idling stop function for temporarily stopping the engine. The present invention relates to a hydraulic control device.

Conventionally, in order to transmit the output of an engine to a transmission or the like, an oil supply source such as an oil pump is used to supply hydraulic pressure for clutch engagement between the engine and the transmission.
Some of these oil pumps are called mechanical oil pumps, and these oil pumps are driven using the driving force of the engine.
On the other hand, an idling stop means is known that can temporarily stop the engine and restart it thereafter under a predetermined condition.
When this idling stop means is implemented, the engine stops driving, so the mechanical oil pump described above also stops.
Then, since the hydraulic pressure for clutch engagement is not supplied and the hydraulic pressure necessary for clutch engagement is not generated, it takes time to start the vehicle.
Further, the solenoid valve for adjusting the hydraulic pressure is provided with a discharge path for discharging the oil, and the oil is discharged from the discharge path, so that it takes more time to start the vehicle.
Therefore, for example, in Patent Document 1 described below, the electromagnetic oil pump or the mechanism that cuts off the communication between the clutch and the oil chamber is provided so that the hydraulic pressure for engaging the clutch is maintained and the vehicle is returned from the idling stop. What improves is disclosed.

  However, equipment such as an electromagnetic oil pump has to be provided to maintain the hydraulic pressure for clutch engagement, and it is necessary to secure a space for these equipment and there is a disadvantage that the cost increases.

  The present invention is a twin-clutch transmission that can suppress a decrease in hydraulic pressure in a hydraulic pressure supply path during idling stop without using other equipment such as an electric oil pump, and can quickly perform vehicle travel after idling stop. It is an object to provide a hydraulic control device for a machine.

Therefore, in order to eliminate the above-described disadvantages, the present invention provides an idling stop means for temporarily stopping and starting the engine, a first input shaft having an odd gear, and a second input shaft having an even gear. A first input shaft clutch for transmitting an output from the engine to the first input shaft; a second input shaft clutch for transmitting an output from the engine to the second input shaft; A first hydraulic pressure adjusting unit that adjusts the hydraulic pressure for engaging the input shaft clutch, a second hydraulic pressure adjusting unit that adjusts the hydraulic pressure for engaging the second input shaft clutch, and the engine power. In the hydraulic control device for a twin clutch type transmission having a hydraulic pressure supply unit that supplies hydraulic pressure to the first hydraulic pressure adjustment unit and the second hydraulic pressure adjustment unit, the engine is controlled by the idling stop unit. Perform stop, by utilizing the driving force of the engine being rotated by driving the hydraulic pressure supply unit, the with increasing hydraulic pressure supplied by the hydraulic pressure supply unit, said second hydraulic pressure adjuster and the first hydraulic pressure adjuster The hydraulic pressure supplied to the first input shaft clutch and the second input shaft clutch according to the above is increased, and the first input shaft clutch and the first input clutch are moved from the stop of the engine to the start of the engine after the engine stop. to maintain a state with the increased hydraulic pressure supplied to the second input shaft clutch and said Rukoto.

According to the present invention, by increasing the line pressure immediately before the engine is stopped, a decrease in the oil pressure after the engine is stopped is suppressed, and the oil remains in the hydraulic circuit for a longer time. Further, the clutch hydraulic circuit is filled with oil by increasing the command pressures of the first input shaft clutch and the second input shaft clutch at a stage where the hydraulic pressure supply unit including the mechanical oil pump can discharge. By increasing the command pressure of the second input shaft clutch during idling stop, more oil can be filled in the hydraulic circuit.
Further, if the idling stop time is short, the oil remains in the hydraulic circuit without being discharged, so the hydraulic filling time can be shortened and the first input shaft clutch can be connected in a short time. it can.
