20160076531 | FLUID SUPPLY DEVICE - An engine cooling device includes a first supply pump driven by an engine, a second supply pump driven by an electric motor, a first fluid path switching valve, a temperature detector, a revolution speed detector that detects the revolution speed of the engine, and a controller that controls the actuation of the electric motor and the fluid path switching valve. When the temperature of the engine detected by the temperature detector (engine cooling water temperature) is less than a first predetermined temperature, the controller performs control to restrict the supply of the cooling fluid from the first supply pump to the engine by switching the fluid path switching valve to a restricted state, and to supply the cooling fluid from the second supply pump to the engine by performing control to drive the electric motor. | 03-17-2016 |
20150316144 | FLUID SUPPLY DEVICE - An oil supply device comprises a main pump driven by an engine and capable of supplying oil to an automatic transmission and to a hydraulic control valve, an electric motor, a subsidiary pump driven by the electric motor that raises the pressure of a portion of the oil discharged from the main pump and supplies the oil to the hydraulic control valve, and a motor controller which controls driving of the electric motor on the basis of the pressure of the oil supplied to the automatic transmission. The motor controller implements control to drive the subsidiary pump by the electric motor to raise the pressure of a portion of the oil discharged from the main pump to a prescribed pressure or above and supply the oil to the hydraulic control valve when the pressure of the oil supplied to the automatic transmission is less than the prescribed pressure. | 11-05-2015 |
