ABSTRACT:
A control device for controlling a continuously variable transmission (5) is disclosed. The control device has an oil pressure control unit (100) which supplies an oil pressure to a primary pulley (10) and secondary pulley (11) based on a command signal indicative of a target speed-reduction ratio, a sensor (26) which detects a rotation speed (Np1) of the primary pulley (26), and a controller (20) which transmits the command signal indicative of the target speed-reduction ratio to the oil pressure control unit (100). The controller is programmed to set the target speed-reduction ratio to a first speed-reduction ratio (R1); calculate a first predetermined rotation speed (N1) of the primary pulley at which the V-belt reaches a first limiting temperature (T1) at the first speed-reduction ratio (R1); calculate a first elapsed time after the detected rotation speed (Np1) of the primary pulley exceeds the first predetermined rotation speed (N1); maintain the first speed-reduction ratio (R1) when the first elapsed time is equal to or less than a first predetermined time; and set the target speed-reduction ratio to a second speed-reduction ratio (R2) smaller than the first speed-reduction ratio (R1) when the first elapsed time exceeds the first predetermined time. At the second speed-reduction ratio (R2), the temperature of the V-belt should become equal to or less than the first limiting temperature (T1) throughout the permitted rotation speed region of the primary pulley. Thus, starting acceleration performance of the continuously variable transmission is enhanced.
