 Hydraulic control valve system with a pressure regulator for a planetary gear transmission

Details
Inventors: Lauven, Walter;
Assignee: Ford Motor Company (Dearborn, MI)
Primary Examiner: Braun; Leslie

Attorney, Agent or Firm: McKenzie; Frank G., Harrington; Donald J.

An automatic control valve system for a multiple ratio power transmission mechanism for an automotive vehicle wherein the mechanism comprises multiple gear elements, the motion of which is controlled by selectively engageable clutches and brakes, a pressure source driven by a power input element of the transmission, a valve circuit for distributing pressure from said source to the clutches and brakes to establish a shift sequence, a pressure regulator valve that is responsive to engine intake manifold pressure and to speed whereby an increase in engine throttle setting will result in an increase in circuit pressure in the control valve system, and a throttle pressure cut-out valve that interrupts distribution of engine intake manifold pressure signals to the pressure regulator valve during operation of the mechanism in the highest speed range thereby preventing an excessive pressure in the control valve system while retaining an adequate residual pressure to maintain clutch and brake engagement during high speed ratio operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Having described a preferred form of the invention, what is claimed is: 1.
A hydraulic control valve system for an epicyclic change-speed gearbox for a motor vehicle comprising a planetary gear train having gear elements that are relatively movable, one with respect to the other, to establish speed ratios, clutches and brakes for controlling the relative motion of said gear elements, a high speed ratio clutch means for effecting a one to one driving condition through said gearbox, a reaction brake adapted to anchor a reaction gear element of said gearbox to establish an underdrive condition, clutch and brake servos for actuating said clutches and brakes, a pressure source comprising a pump driven by a power input element of said gearbox, a control valve circuit connecting said pump to said clutch and brake servos, a pressure regulator valve in said valve system including a pressure amplifier valve, a source of a torque signal that responds to torque input to said gearbox, a source of a speed signal that is proportional in magnitude to the driven speed of a driven member of said gearbox, said amplifier valve being subjected to said signals and a cut-out valve means in said valve system for interrupting communication between said amplifier valve and said torque signal source thereby preventing the transmission of said torque signal to the oil pressure amplifier valve as soon as an upshift into the high speed ratio condition occurs.
2.
The combination as set forth in claim 1 wherein said cut-out valve is adapted to be subjected to the pressure made available to said high speed ratio clutch whereby it is shifted to a torque signal interrupting position upon application of said high speed ratio clutch.
3.
The combination as set forth in claim 1 wherein said control valve system includes a shift valve adapted to distribute selectively pressure to a clutch for a direct drive condition and a brake for an underdrive condition, said shift valve being subjected to said pressure signals, said shift valve being part of said cut-out valve means and being in communication with said amplifier valve whereby distribution of a torque signal through said cut-out valve means to said amplifier valve is interrupted when said shift valve is in an upshift position
