Speed change control method and device of automatic transmission for vehicle

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6117476
A speed change control device of an automatic transmission for a vehicle is described, the control device comprising: a first voltage producing means for producing voltage related with engine temperature; a second voltage producing means for producing voltage related with vehicle speed; a first comparator for comparing the output voltage of the first voltage producing means with a first predetermined value; a second comparator for comparing the output voltage of the second voltage producing means with a second predetermined value; an oil pressure supply controlling means for controlling oil pressure supply to a hydraulic servo for a friction engaging device upon receiving operating signals when a speed change stage producing a reduction gear ratio lower than a predetermined value is to be performed; and a blocking means for blocking input of the operating signals to the oil pressure supply controlling means only when the engine temperature is lower than the first predetermined value and the vehicle speed is lower than the second predetermined value in response to the outputs of the first and second comparators.
