Control device

A control device for automatically controlling a clutch device disposed on a path along which a driving force output from a prime mover is transmitted, the clutch device being configured to connect or disconnect transmission of the driving force according to a manual operation of an operator with respect to a clutch operating element, the control device comprising:

• a connecting member connected to a release operation member of the clutch device;
• an electric actuator configured to displace the release operation member through the connecting member;
• a control unit configured to displace the release operation member by driving the electric actuator so as to change a clutch capacity of the clutch device;
• a first sensor configured to detect an operation amount of the electric actuator with respect to the connecting member;
• and
• a second sensor configured to detecting a displacement amount of the release operation member,
• wherein the control unit is configured to determine whether or not there is an intervention of the manual operation by the operator through the clutch operating element based on each detection result of the first sensor and the second sensor during an automatic control of the clutch device by the electric actuator.
