Abstract:
A continuously variable transmission configured to reduce response delay and hunting due to overshooting. The continuously variable transmission is electronically controlled by a control unit. The control unit is connected to an actuator for moving a moving flange of a primary sheave and controls the output of the actuator in such a manner as to vary between upshift and downshift of the continuously variable transmission.
Abstract:
Restriction of hunting in the gear ratio of an electronically-controlled continuously variable transmission (ECVT) for a vehicle. A gear ratio change mechanism has a crankshaft as an input shaft, an output shaft and a motor. The motor continuously varies the gear ratio between the crankshaft and the output shaft. An electronic control unit (ECU) performs feedback control of the gear ratio to achieve a target gear ratio. The ECU reduces an output of the motor when a hunting state of the gear ratio is detected.
Abstract:
A transmission includes a gear ratio change mechanism, a driving circuit and an electronic control unit (ECU). The gear ratio change mechanism has a motor for continuously varying the gear ratio. The driving circuit applies a pulse voltage to the motor. The ECU outputs a control signal to the driving circuit. The duty ratio and/or the pulse height of the pulse voltage is changed according to the control signal. The ECU performs a low-pass filtering process on the control signal to output the low-pass filtered control signal to the driving circuit. Gear ratio change shocks are thereby suppressed.
Abstract:
A straddle -type vehicle that can be accelerated rapidly by a simple operation irrespective of a selected drive mode includes a control unit that executes first control of switching between a plurality of drive modes A and B, and in each of at least two of the drive modes A and B, and second control of shifting the change gear to a kick-down state A1 or B1 in which the speed change ratio is lower than that of the drive mode A or B, according to operation of a shift-down operation member.
Abstract:
When performing kick down, during re-acceleration after decelerating, the engine sometimes races unnecessarily, and a smooth acceleration feeling is not obtained. During control by a kick down mode, when accelerating after a throttle has been fully closed, a control target value is set so as not to pass to a Low side of a limit value of the control target value used during re-acceleration. As a result, racing of the engine is inhibited.

Abstract:
A straddle-type vehicle in which drivability is ensured when starting the vehicle. The vehicle includes a control device that controls a continuously variable transmission. A plurality of driving modes “A” and “B” are set in the control device. The control device performs a first control that switches the driving mode to driving mode “A” before start of the engine; a second control that switches between driving 2modes A” and “B” in response to operation of a mode switching operation member; and a third control that limits the second control and inhibits switching from the driving mode “A” to driving mode “B”, when the control device detects that the engine has not been started.

Abstract:
A vehicle that effectively sets a gear ratio when a driver turns off a main switch during running of the vehicle includes an engine, a main switch arranged to control the engine and being operable by a driver, a continuously variable transmission arranged to transmit a drive force generated at the engine to a rear wheel, and a speed change control apparatus arranged to control a gear ratio of the continuously variable transmission and continuously control the gear ratio of the continuously variable transmission after the engine is instructed to stop due to the driver turning off the main switch.
