Abstract

A hydraulic pressure supply system of an automatic transmission may include a mechanical oil pump fluidly-connected to the oil pan to supply oil to first and second discharge paths fluidly-connected to the mechanical oil pump, a first switch valve fluidly-connected to the first discharge path and selectively supplying oil to a first supply path fluidly-connected to the first switch valve, a second switch valve fluidly-connected to the first and second discharge paths and selectively supplying oil supplied in the first supply path to the transmission unit and a pressure control valve through a second supply path fluidly-connected to the second switch valve, respectively, a first solenoid valve actuator engaged to the first switch valve and a second solenoid valve actuator engaged to the second switch valve, and an electrical oil pump fluidly-connected to the oil pan to supply the oil to a third supply path fluidly-connected with the second supply path.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hydraulic pressure supply system of an automatic transmission for a vehicle, generating high-pressure hydraulic pressure from oil stored in an oil pan and supplying the hydraulic pressure to a transmission unit, including:
a mechanical oil pump fluidly-connected to the oil pan and driven by an engine to pump the oil stored in the oil pan as a first high-pressure hydraulic pressure and to supply oil in the mechanical oil pump to first and second discharge paths fluidly-connected to the mechanical oil pump;
a first switch valve fluidly-connected to the first discharge path and selectively supplying oil supplied to the first discharge path to a first supply path fluidly-connected to the first switch valve;
a second switch valve fluidly-connected to the first and second discharge paths and selectively supplying oil supplied in the first supply path to the transmission unit and a pressure control valve through a second supply path fluidly-connected to the second switch valve, respectively;
a first solenoid valve actuator engaged to the first switch valve to control the first switch valve and a second solenoid valve actuator engaged to the second switch valve to control the second switch valve; and
an electrical oil pump fluidly-connected to the oil pan and driven by an electrical motor to pump the oil stored in the oil pan as a second high-pressure hydraulic pressure and to supply the oil stored in the oil to a third supply path fluidly-connected with the second supply path,
wherein the first switch valve is provided as a spool valve, and is connected to the first discharge path of the mechanical oil pump and selectively supplies the oil supplied to the first discharge path to the first supply path and a recirculation path depending on a turn-on or turn-off state of the first solenoid valve actuator.

2. The hydraulic pressure supply system of claim 1 , wherein the recirculation path is fluidly connected to the oil pan, the first switch valve, the second switch valve, the mechanical oil pump, and the electrical oil pump.

3. The hydraulic pressure supply system of claim 1 , wherein the second switch valve is provided as a spool valve, and is connected to the first supply path of the mechanical oil pump and selectively supplies the oil supplied to the first supply path to the second supply path and the recirculation path depending on a turn-on or turn-off state of the second solenoid valve actuator.

4. The hydraulic pressure supply system of claim 1 , wherein a check valve preventing back flow is provided on the third supply path.
