Abstract

A hydraulic system of vehicle transmission device is provided. A heat exchanger configured downstream is used to cool working oil discharged from a torque converter, and the working oil is supplied, as lubricating oil, to a lubricating system hydraulic circuit. On the other hand, excess oil flowing out of a regulator valve for regulating line pressure returns to an input side of an oil pump through a recycle oil path. A bypass oil path is disposed in a manner of branching from the recycle oil path and connecting to an input side of the heat exchanger. A control mechanism is disposed, and when hydraulic pressure at the side of the recycle oil path is higher than that at the side of the heat exchanger, the bypass oil path is opened to guide oil at the side of the recycle oil path to the input side of the heat exchanger.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hydraulic system of a vehicle transmission device, comprising:
an oil pump driven with a rotary shaft of the vehicle transmission device in a linked way;
a regulator valve that regulates hydraulic pressure discharged from the oil pump and supplies the hydraulic pressure to a hydraulic circuit; and
a heat exchanger disposed in a predetermined position of the hydraulic circuit and cooling oil passing through the position,
wherein the hydraulic system of a vehicle transmission device comprises:
a bypass oil path branched from a recycle oil path and connected to an input side of the heat exchanger, the recycle oil path allowing excess oil to flow out of the regulator valve and return to an input side of the oil pump; and
a control mechanism that opens the bypass oil path when hydraulic pressure at a side of the heat exchanger is lower than hydraulic pressure at a side of the recycle oil path to guide oil at the side of the recycle oil path to the input side of the heat exchanger.

2. The hydraulic system of a vehicle transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein the control mechanism comprises a one-way valve disposed in the bypass oil path.

3. The hydraulic system of a vehicle transmission device according to claim 2 , wherein the control mechanism further comprises an orifice, setting flow from the recycle oil path back to the input side of the oil pump, the bypass oil path is branched from the recycle oil path on an upstream side of the orifice, and an oil quantity exceeding the flow set by the orifice is diverted to the bypass oil path from the recycle oil path.

4. The hydraulic system of a vehicle transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein the excess oil flowing out of the regulator valve is guided to a predetermined lubrication path of the vehicle transmission device, and remaining oil for the predetermined lubrication path is supplied to the recycle oil path and then supplied to the bypass oil path from the recycle oil path.

5. The hydraulic system of a vehicle transmission device according to claim 2 , wherein the excess oil flowing out of the regulator valve is guided to a predetermined lubrication path of the vehicle transmission device, and remaining oil for the predetermined lubrication path is supplied to the recycle oil path and then supplied to the bypass oil path from the recycle oil path.

6. The hydraulic system of a vehicle transmission device according to claim 3 , wherein the excess oil flowing out of the regulator valve is guided to a predetermined lubrication path of the vehicle transmission device, and remaining oil for the predetermined lubrication path is supplied to the recycle oil path and then supplied to the bypass oil path from the recycle oil path.
