20090247344 | SHIFT CONTROL APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - Strain gauges and a torque value calculating unit detect a value for torque acting on a sun gear, based on a reaction force. A torque phase detecting unit detects start of a torque phase at which only torque distribution changes while a gear ratio stays at the same level as before upshift, based on a change in the value for torque detected by the strain gauges and the torque value calculating unit. Consequently, when upshifting, an end of a piston stroke can be accurately determined by precisely detecting the torque phase during the shifting. Thus, problems such as burning of friction materials due to excessive heat generation in friction engagement elements can be eliminated. | 2009-10-01 |

When the feedback oil pressure value is calculated, a deviation out-of-range determining unit determines whether a deviation between actual rotational speed difference and target rotational speed difference is outside of a predetermined range. If the deviation is outside of the predetermined range, a feedback value correcting unit calculates a correction value and corrects the feedback oil pressure value. Therefore, when the deviation is outside of the predetermined range, the actual rotational speed difference is brought into convergence with the target rotational speed difference with rapid response. When the deviation falls within the predetermined range, normal feedback control is adopted to assure stability without overshooting, even in a high engine speed, high engine torque state. | 2009-10-01 |
