A driving force transmission control device includes a driving force transmission device configured to press a friction clutch by an actuator and a controller configured to control the driving force transmission device. The controller calculates a torque command value indicating a driving force to be transmitted from a rotating member on an input side to a rotating member on an output side based on information of a vehicle. The controller sets an electric current command value according to a magnitude and an amount of time change of the torque command value. The electric current command value is a target value of an electric current. The controller performs electric current feedback control such that an electric current corresponding to the calculated electric current command value is supplied to the actuator.

Driving force transmission control device and control method for driving force transmission control device

A driving force transmission device includes an input rotation member and output rotation member, a multiple-disc clutch, a pressing mechanism, and a control device that includes a current supply circuit. The control device is configured to compute a torque command value based on a state of a vehicle, the torque command value being a driving force that needs to be transmitted by the multiple-disc clutch, to compute a current command value, to correct the current command value, and to control the current supply circuit such that an electric current depending on the current command value is supplied to the pressing mechanism. The control device is configured to perform the correction so as to increase or decrease the current command value by a correction amount depending on a change rate of the torque command value.

Driving force transmission device and control method for driving force transmission device

A four-wheel drive vehicle includes right and left main drive wheels and right and left auxiliary drive wheels, and a drive force transmission system configured to constantly transmit a drive force of a drive source to the right and left main drive wheels and to transmit the drive force to the right and left auxiliary drive wheels depending on a vehicle state. The drive force transmission system includes a differential device, a propeller shaft, a drive force transmission device configured to adjust the drive force that is transmitted from the propeller shaft to the right and left auxiliary drive wheels, and an electronic control unit configured to control the drive force transmission device.
