For example, when the motorcycle is traveling at the vehicle speed v3 shown in FIG. 5, the detected actual rotation speed N shows a value of N, ゛, and the target engine rotation speed N is determined. If smaller than 3 (
N2'< N as), the controller 30
outputs a speed change signal to the speed change motor 16 toward the low speed (Lot) side (step 6 in FIG. 4), and as a result, the vehicle speed V
On the other hand, if the solid line rotational speed N indicates the value N3°' shown in Fig. 5, and the target engine rotational speed N.3 is greater than N3”
>N03), the controller 30 is the variable speed motor 1

2 consists of both helical gears, and starter gear 1
2 is fixed, so when the gear 14 rotates, these gears 14 and 15, which were at the position C shown in the figure, move to the left in the figure on the rotating shaft 13, and move to the position 2 shown at this time. Since the spline groove 14a of the gear 14 engages with the spline protrusion 13a of the rotating shaft 13, the rotation of the gear 14 is caused by the rotation of the rotating shaft 1.
3, and the rotating shaft 13 is rotationally driven.

The gear 6 that meshes with b rotates, or the threaded portion 6a formed on the inner periphery of the gear 6 is threaded into the threaded portion 10a of the guide member 10, so the gear 6 rotates along the guide member 10. The movable sheave 5 of the drive pulley 2 is moved integrally in the same direction. As a result, the distance between the fixed sheave 4 and the movable sheave 5 of the drive pulley 2 is changed, and the winding diameter of the V-belt 3 on the drive pulley 2 is changed to achieve the required speed change.
そして、エンジン回転数Nが第5図に示すN2を超える

4 and operate the deceleration lever 19 to open it halfway (LEOPEN = 1/2"), the controller 30 controls the throttle opening at that time (TI (OPEN) as described above). ) and the opening degree of the deceleration lever 19 (LEOPEN=1/2), the desired opening degree (OPO
PEN) is calculated in step 2 of FIG. 4, and the target engine rotation speed N is determined from this desired opening degree (0POPEN) and the detected vehicle speed V. 4 is obtained from the map shown in Fig. 5 (Fig. 4).
In step 4 of the figure, this target engine speed No. 4 is compared with the actual engine speed N4 (step 5.6 of FIG. 4), in this case the target engine speed N. 4 or greater than the actual engine speed N4 < N 04
> N 4 ), the controller 30 is at low speed (Lo
Step 6) in Fig. 4 to output the shift signal to the w) side.
As a result, the vehicle speed V is rapidly decelerated from V to v4', and an effective engine braking effect is obtained.

果か得られる。(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, there is provided a detection means for detecting the driving state of a vehicle, a continuously variable transmission means for steplessly changing the running speed of the vehicle, and a continuously variable transmission means. In a continuously variable transmission for a vehicle that includes a control means for controlling the
Since the control means controls the continuously variable transmission means based on a control parameter representing the driver's intention in addition to the vehicle speed and engine rotational speed, the control means controls the continuously variable transmission means according to the driver's will while taking advantage of the advantages of an automatic continuously variable transmission. The gear ratio can be continuously obtained at will, the engine brake can be used for driving, downshifting can be performed in advance, and sluggishness in acceleration can be eliminated.
