Abstract
Abstract A control system for continuously varying the transmission gear ratio of a stepless variable speed gear for use in an automobile has a reference driver circuit for delivering a signal indicative of a reference transmission gear ratio to pressure servo controllers according to signals produced by detecting running conditions of the automobile, a deceleration-judging circuit for judging the automobile to decelerate, and a deceleration control circuit for modifying the output signal from the reference driver circuit so as to conform to the transmission gear ratio determined by the speed of the automobile.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A CVT control method comprising the steps of: delivering a signal indicative of a reference transmission gear ratio to a driver means of a stepless variable speed gear according to signals produced by detecting running conditions of a vehicle to which the method is applied; judging the vehicle to decelerate, according to both a signal produced in response to the accelerator pedal of the vehicle and a signal indicative of the transmission gear ratio of the vehicle; and modifying the signal indicative of the reference transmission gear ratio so as to conform to the transmission gear ratio determined by the speed of the vehicle, according to both a signal produced by the judgment made as described above and a signal indicative of the speed of the vehicle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
127 words
A CVT control method comprising the steps of: delivering a signal indicative of a reference transmission gear ratio to a driver means of a stepless variable speed gear according to signals produced by detecting running conditions of a vehicle to which the method is applied; judging the vehicle to decelerate, according to both a signal produced in response to the accelerator pedal of the vehicle and a signal indicative of the transmission gear ratio of the vehicle; and modifying the signal indicative of the reference transmission gear ratio so as to conform to the transmission gear ratio determined by the speed of the vehicle, according to both a signal produced by the judgment made as described above and a signal indicative of the speed of the vehicle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
The CVT control method of claim 1, wherein said signal indicative of the reference transmission gear ratio is a signal which is supplied to a driver means for a driven member and which is indicative of the opening of the accelerator pedal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
127 words
A CVT control apparatus comprising: a reference driver means for delivering a signal indicative of a reference transmission gear ratio to a driver means of a stepless variable speed gear according to signals produced by detecting running conditions of a vehicle; a deceleration-judging means for judging the vehicle to decelerate, according to both a signal produced in response to the accelerator pedal of the vehicle and a signal indicative of the transmission gear ratio of the vehicle; and a deceleration control means that receives both the signal from the deceleration-judging means and a signal indicative of the speed of the vehicle to modify the output signal from the reference driver means so as to conform to the transmission gear ratio determined by the speed of the vehicle.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
127 words
A CVT control apparatus comprising: a reference driver means for delivering a signal indicative of a reference transmission gear ratio to a driver means of a stepless variable speed gear according to signals produced by detecting running conditions of a vehicle; a deceleration-judging means for judging the vehicle to decelerate, according to both a signal produced in response to the accelerator pedal of the vehicle and a signal indicative of the transmission gear ratio of the vehicle; and a deceleration control means that receives both the signal from the deceleration-judging means and a signal indicative of the speed of the vehicle to modify the output signal from the reference driver means so as to conform to the transmission gear ratio determined by the speed of the vehicle.
