Abstract

In a hydraulic control device, a hydraulic sensor is provided on an intake side of a second pump where first oil is taken in and a line pressure sensor is provided on a discharging side of the second pump where the second oil is discharged. A control unit controls driving of the second pump by controlling a motor on the basis of an output pressure detected by the output pressure sensor or a line pressure detected by the line pressure sensor.

Claims (12)

1. A hydraulic control device including, between a first pump and a hydraulic operation unit of a transmission, a check valve and a second pump driven by a motor connected in parallel and configured to supply first oil from the first pump to the hydraulic operation unit through the check valve, or pressurize the first oil that is supplied from the first pump with the second pump and supply the first oil that has been pressurized to the hydraulic operation unit as second oil, the hydraulic control device comprising:

a hydraulic sensor provided on at least one of an intake side of the second pump where the first oil is taken in and a discharging side of the second pump where the second oil is discharged, and configured to detect a pressure of the oil at a position where the hydraulic sensor is provided;

a controller configured to control driving of the second pump by controlling the motor on a basis of the pressure of the oil detected by the hydraulic sensor; and

an operation point decision unit configured to set an operation point of the second pump on a basis of a request flow rate corresponding to a request value of a flow rate of the second oil and a request discharging pressure corresponding to a request value of a discharging pressure of the second pump in accordance with a vehicle state of the vehicle including the transmission, wherein:

the operation point decision unit is configured to perform a feedback control for the request discharging pressure by using the pressure of the oil detected by the hydraulic sensor and set the operation point by using the request discharging pressure after the feedback control and the request flow rate; and

the controller is configured to control the motor on a basis of the operation point.

2. The hydraulic control device according to claim 1 , further comprising a first hydraulic pressure estimation unit configured to estimate a pressure value of the oil to be supplied from the first pump to another hydraulic operation unit of the transmission, wherein:

the hydraulic sensor is a hydraulic sensor that is provided between the first pump and the second pump and configured to detect the pressure value of the first oil to be supplied to the second pump; and

the operation point decision unit is configured to calculate a feedback amount relative to the request discharging pressure by subtracting the pressure value of the oil estimated by the first hydraulic pressure estimation unit from the pressure value of the first oil detected by the hydraulic sensor.

3. The hydraulic control device according to claim 1 , further comprising a second hydraulic pressure estimation unit configured to estimate a pressure value of the oil to be supplied to the hydraulic operation unit, wherein:

the hydraulic sensor is a hydraulic sensor that is provided between the second pump and the hydraulic operation unit and configured to detect the pressure value of the oil to be supplied to the hydraulic operation unit; and

the operation point decision unit is configured to calculate a feedback amount relative to the request discharging pressure by subtracting the pressure value of the oil estimated by the second hydraulic pressure estimation unit from the pressure value of the oil detected by the hydraulic sensor.
