Abstract

A hydraulic control system of double piston clutch device configured for an automatic transmission, which includes clutch drum connected to one rotation element, a clutch configured in the clutch drum and configured to transmit rotation power in connection with another rotation element through a clutch hub, and a double piston in which first and second pistons are disposed in series to operate the clutch by hydraulic pressure while a front end is disposed to correspond to the clutch, may include a first hydraulic chamber formed between the first piston and the clutch drum to receive the hydraulic pressure through a first passage hole in a sealed state; and a second hydraulic chamber formed between the first and second pistons to receive the hydraulic pressure through a second passage hole in the sealed state and the hydraulic pressure separately controlled is supplied to the first and second hydraulic chambers, respectively.

Claims (26)

1. A hydraulic control system of a double piston clutch device for an automatic transmission, which includes clutch drum connected to one rotation element, a clutch configured in the clutch drum and configured to transmit rotation power in connection with another rotation element through a clutch hub, and a double piston in which first and second pistons are disposed in series to operate the clutch by hydraulic pressure while a front end portion thereof is disposed to correspond to the clutch, the hydraulic control system comprising:

a first hydraulic chamber formed between the first piston and the clutch drum to receive the hydraulic pressure through a first passage hole in a sealed state; and

a second hydraulic chamber formed between the first and second pistons to receive the hydraulic pressure through a second passage hole in the sealed state,

wherein the hydraulic pressure which is separately controlled is supplied to the first and second hydraulic chambers, respectively,

wherein the hydraulic pressure controlled by a solenoid valve is configured to be directly supplied to the first hydraulic chamber and the hydraulic pressure controlled by the solenoid valve and thereafter, variably controlled by a first switch valve is configured to be supplied to the second hydraulic chamber, and

wherein the first switch valve is configured by a spool valve and is configured to be controlled by control pressure of the solenoid valve, which is applied to one end portion thereof and elastic force of an elastic member, which is applied to an opposite side against the control pressure of the solenoid valve.

2. The hydraulic control system of claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic pressure is configured by line pressure or clutch supply pressure.

3. The hydraulic control system of claim 1 , wherein the solenoid valve is configured by a normally-low type variable control solenoid valve in which the hydraulic pressure is not formed when the normally-low type variable control solenoid valve is not operated.

4. A hydraulic control system of a double piston clutch device for an automatic transmission, which includes clutch drum connected to one rotation element, a clutch configured in the clutch drum and configured to transmit rotation power in connection with another rotation element through a clutch hub, and a double piston in which first and second pistons are disposed in series to operate the clutch by hydraulic pressure while a front end portion thereof is disposed to correspond to the clutch, the hydraulic control system comprising:

a first hydraulic chamber formed between the first piston and the clutch drum to receive the hydraulic pressure through a first passage hole in a sealed state; and

a second hydraulic chamber formed between the first and second pistons to receive the hydraulic pressure through a second passage hole in the sealed state,

wherein the hydraulic pressure which is separately controlled is supplied to the first and second hydraulic chambers, respectively, and

wherein the hydraulic pressure variably controlled by a second switch valve is configured to be directly supplied to the first hydraulic chamber and the hydraulic pressure controlled by the second switch valve and thereafter, variably controlled by a first switch valve is configured to be supplied to the second hydraulic chamber.

5. The hydraulic control system of claim 4 , wherein the hydraulic pressure is configured by line pressure or clutch supply pressure.

6. The hydraulic control system of claim 4 , wherein the second switch valve is configured by a spool valve, and is configured to be controlled by control pressure and feedback control pressure of a solenoid valve, which are applied to one end portion thereof and elastic force of an elastic member, which is applied to the opposite side against the control pressure and the feedback control pressure of the solenoid valve.

7. The hydraulic control system of claim 6 , wherein the solenoid valve is configured by a normally-low type variable control solenoid valve in which the hydraulic pressure is not formed when the normally-low type variable control solenoid valve is not operated.

8. The hydraulic control system of claim 4 , wherein the first switch valve is configured by a spool valve, and is configured to be controlled by control pressure of the second switch valve, which are applied to one end portion thereof and elastic force of an elastic member, which is applied to the opposite side against the control pressure of the second switch valve.

9. A hydraulic control system of a double piston clutch device for an automatic transmission, which includes clutch drum connected to one rotation element a clutch configured in the clutch drum and configured to transmit rotation power in connection with another rotation element through a clutch hub, and a double piston in which first and second pistons are disposed in series to operate the clutch by hydraulic pressure while a front end portion thereof is disposed to correspond to the clutch, the hydraulic control system comprising:

a first hydraulic chamber formed between the first piston and the clutch drum to receive the hydraulic pressure through a first passage hole in a sealed state; and

a second hydraulic chamber formed between the first and second pistons to receive the hydraulic pressure through a second passage hole in the sealed state,

wherein the hydraulic pressure which is separately controlled is supplied to the first and second hydraulic chambers, respectively,

wherein the hydraulic pressure variably controlled by a second switch valve is configured to be directly supplied to the first hydraulic chamber and the hydraulic pressure variably controlled by a first switch valve is configured to be directly supplied to the second hydraulic chamber, and

wherein the first switch valve is configured by a spool valve, and is configured to be controlled by control pressure of the second switch valve, which are applied to one end portion thereof and elastic force of a first elastic member, which is lied to the opposite side against the control pressure of the second switch valve.

10. The hydraulic control system of claim 9 , wherein the hydraulic pressure is configured by line pressure or clutch supply pressure.

11. The hydraulic control system of claim 9 , wherein the second switch valve is configured by a spool valve, and is configured to be controlled by control pressure and feedback control pressure of a solenoid valve, which are applied to one end portion thereof and elastic force of a second elastic member, which is applied to the opposite side against the control pressure and the feedback control pressure of the solenoid valve.

12. The hydraulic control system of claim 11 , wherein the solenoid valve is configured by a normally-low L type variable control solenoid valve in which the hydraulic pressure is not formed when the normally-low type variable control solenoid valve is not operated.
