Abstract

A power transmission device includes a belt-type continuously variable transmission; a first fluid pressure cylinder; a second fluid pressure cylinder; a pressure-adjustment and pressure-feed device; a fluid outflow/inflow device; and a control unit that controls the pressure-adjustment and pressure-feed device based on a fluid pressure that is obtained from a thrust that is required for the second pulley in accordance with a driving state and that, by controlling the pressure-adjustment and pressure-feed device in this manner, controls the fluid outflow/inflow device such that a gear ratio is varied within a permitted gear ratio range in accordance with the fluid pressure that is pressure-fed from the pressure-adjustment and pressure-feed device in conjunction with the pressure adjustment.
