SOLUTION: A clutch housing 2 constituting the car body of a tractor is equipped with a first chamber 3 housing a main clutch 7 and a second member housing a shuttle transmission 8 and a main transmission 9 as installing them in front...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide sufficient low speed torque at the time of start-up without impairing power generating efficiency by driving in the state of being direct- coupled to an engine at the time of power generation, and reducing the speed of motor rotation to transmit it at the time of start-up. SOLUTION: In a hybrid vehicle provided with a generator 3 driven by an engine 1, a battery 4 ...

PURPOSE: To prevent a big transmission shock generated when transmission time is finished during dropping of torque. CONSTITUTION: During speed change, an engine torque change instruction signal is outputted from a transmission controller 24 to an engine controller 16. The engine controller 16 controls an engine 10 based on the input engine torque change instruction signal and outputs the executed...

A continuously variable transmission (CVT) has an increased speed of convergence on a neutral point by combining the rotation from the CVT and a constant velocity mechanism. At the neutral point the output member has zero rotation due to torque circulation. When a neutral state is determined to be needed based on the signals indicating the pulley ratio is within a predetermined range, with the thr...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control the driving force by which an engine is operated in a operational stability point of the lowest fuel consumption to the target driving force, even when a torque convertor is in a convertor state. SOLUTION: Whether the operational stability point exists or not, is checked on the basis of whether the engine output torque Te in 17 is agreed with the absorption torque ...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively reduce moire in the display of all of signals with various horizontal frequencies by replacing a horizontal drive pulse with a horizontal drive pulse whose delay is controlled so as to operate a horizontal deflection circuit. SOLUTION: A horizontal drive pulse generating circuit 1 generates a 1st horizontal drive pulse based on a horizontal synchronizing signal...
