Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A hydraulic control device includes: a pressure regulation valve that regulates a hydraulic pressure of oil supplied from an oil pump; a discharge oil passage through which the oil discharged from a fluid coupling flows when a lockup clutch is disengaged; a lubrication oil passage that supplies the oil from the discharge oil passage to a location to be lubricated; a return oil passage that returns the oil drained from the pressure regulation valve to a suction port of the oil pump; a connection oil passage that connects the lubrication oil passage and the return oil passage; and a flow direction regulation valve that is provided in the connection oil passage.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A hydraulic control device which controls hydraulic pressure supplied to an automatic transmission provided with a fluid coupling that has a lockup clutch, the hydraulic control device comprising: a pressure regulation valve configured to regulate a hydraulic pressure of oil supplied from an oil pump and supply the oil to the fluid coupling; a discharge oil passage through which the oil discharged from the fluid coupling flows when the lockup clutch is disengaged; a lubrication oil passage that supplies the oil from the discharge oil passage to a location to be lubricated in the automatic transmission; a return oil passage that returns the oil drained from the pressure regulation valve during pressure regulation to a suction port of the oil pump; a connection oil passage that connects the lubrication oil passage and the return oil passage; and a flow direction regulation valve that is provided in the connection oil passage, and that allows communication between the lubrication oil passage and the return oil passage when hydraulic pressure on the return oil passage side is higher than hydraulic pressure on the lubrication oil passage side by a pressure that is equal to or higher than a set differential pressure, and blocks communication between the lubrication oil passage and the return oil passage when differential pressure between hydraulic pressure on the return oil passage side and hydraulic pressure on the lubrication oil passage side is lower than the set differential pressure. 2. The hydraulic control device according to claim 1 , wherein the return oil passage and the connection oil passage are connected to a drain port of the pressure regulation valve via a common oil passage. 3. The hydraulic control device according to claim 1 , wherein when the lockup clutch is engaged, the oil discharged from the fluid coupling is drained and the oil drained from the pressure regulation valve is supplied to the location to be lubricated via the connection oil passage and the flow direction regulation valve that allows communication. 4. The hydraulic control device according to claim 2 , wherein when the lockup clutch is engaged, the oil discharged from the fluid coupling is drained and the oil drained from the pressure regulation valve is supplied to the location to be lubricated via the connection oil passage and the flow direction regulation valve that allows communication.
