Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hydraulic device includes a switch-over valve 1140 provided at a section of a sub-passage 1105 located downstream of a location where a first bypass passage 1117 is connected and located upstream of a primary regulator 1110 . The switch-over valve 1140 is switched between a blocked state, where supply of hydraulic oil to a section of the sub-passage 1105 located downstream of the switch-over valve 1140 is blocked, and a communication state, where supply of hydraulic oil to the section of the sub-passage 1105 located downstream of the switch-over valve 1140 is permitted. In the hydraulic device, when the switch-over valve 1140 is switched to the communication state, as a discharge performance of a main pump 1102 increases, a first check valve 1118 closes. Supply paths for hydraulic oil discharged from the sub-pump 1103 are automatically switched in accordance with the discharge performance of the main pump 1102 . When the switch-over valve 1140 is switched to the blocked state, the first check valve 1118 opens and hydraulic oil discharged from the sub-pump 1103 is introduced into a main passage 1104.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A hydraulic device for a stepless transmission, the hydraulic device comprising: an engine-driven main pump and an engine-driven sub-pump; a main passage for connecting the main pump to a speed-changing hydraulic pressure circuit and a lubricating-hydraulic pressure circuit; a sub-passage for connecting the sub-pump to the lubricating-hydraulic pressure circuit; a regulator that opens when the hydraulic pressure of hydraulic oil supplied to the s…
