Abstract
A control apparatus for controlling transmission ratio of a toroidal-type continuously variable transmission unit of a continuously variable transmission apparatus, the continuously variable transmission apparatus has: a toroidal-type continuously variable transmission unit, which changes a transmission ratio between pair of disks by shifting trunnions in the axial direction of pivot shafts by using actuators; and, a differential unit of a gear type including a combination of a plurality of gears, the control apparatus having: rotation speed control unit; transmission ratio setting unit; oil pressure measuring unit; and, transmission ratio correcting unit operating in response to a deviation of a pressure difference between a measured value by the oil pressure measuring unit and a target value of a torque passing through the toroidal-type continuously variable transmission unit, and adjusting the transmission ratio of the toroidal-type continuously variable transmission unit so as to eliminate the deviation.
