Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydraulic pressure controller which can avoid an excessive hydraulic pressure increment by a residual pressure in a precharge control when a friction engagement element is engaged. SOLUTION: In the hydraulic fluid pressure controller which can be estimated a fluid pressure in a fluid pressure supply tube to a friction engage element to be zero after elapsing predetermined time T1 since a friction engagement element indication pressure is counted as zero (at step S13), the friction engagement element fluid pressure reduces with a time lag against the hydraulic fluid pressure in the above mentioned tube. Therefore, the controller can be calibrated to shorten the precharge time (at step S16, S17) and/or lowered the indication pressure at the precharge control estimating the presence the residual pressure, in case of the elapse time (value at a timer TR2) is shorter counting from the time to be estimated the fluid pressure zero in the hydraulic fluid tube.

(残圧)を推定できる。
The predetermined value T1 is set in advance as a delay time from when the command pressure P becomes 0 to when the oil pressure in the hydraulic pipe for supplying the oil pressure to the friction engagement element becomes 0 with a delay. Further, since the engagement oil pressure of the friction engagement element changes to 0 with a delay with respect to the oil pressure in the hydraulic pipe, the time from when the oil pressure in the hydraulic pipe measured by the timer TMR2 becomes 0 becomes zero. From this, the engagement hydraulic pressure (residual pressure) of the friction engagement element can be estimated.

On the other hand, when the residual pressure of the friction engagement element is high, if the precharge is performed in the same manner as when there is no residual pressure, an excessive increase in the hydraulic pressure will be caused. Therefore, when the value of the timer TMR2 is small and it is estimated that the engagement oil pressure of the friction engagement element has not decreased to 0, the command pressure in the precharge is reduced and the precharge time is shortened. As the value of the timer TMR2 increases, the engagement oil pressure of the friction engagement element approaches 0 (residual pressure decreases), and accordingly, the command pressure in precharge is increased, and the precharge time is lengthened. .
