摘要:
A variable capacity vane compressor has a cylinder including a cam ring having an inner peripheral surface with an oblong cross section and within which a rotor is rotatably received, a plurality of vanes carried by the rotor, and a control plate disposed in the cylinder for rotation in opposite circumferential directions and having a peripheral edge formed with at least one cut-out portion. The control plate is disposed to rotate in response to a difference between pressure from a lower pressure zone and pressure from a higher pressure zone to cause a change in the circumferential position of the cut-out portion, thereby varying the compression commencing timing of the compressor and hence the capacity of same. The cut-out portion of the control plate comprises a first portion circumferentially extending from a downstream end of the cut-out portion with respect to the direction of rotation of the rotor to an intermediate portion of the same, and a second portion circumferentially extending from the intermediate portion to an upstream end of the cut-out portion, and being shallower than the first portion. The cut-out portion has such a circumferential position and length that the second portion is positioned radially inwardly of the inner peripheral surface of the cam ring and has an upstream end and a downstream end thereof positioned, respectively, upstream of a downstream end of an inlet port formed in the cylinder and downstream of same, when the control plate member is circumferentially displaced to an extreme circumferential position in which the minimum capacity of the compressor is obtained, whereby unnecessary compression is prevented.

A variable capacity vane compressor has a pressure chamber formed in one of side blocks of a cylinder and communicating a zone under lower pressure with a zone under higher pressure, and at least one second inlet port the opening angle of which is variable in response to a difference between pressure within a first pressure chamber of the pressure chamber and pressure within a second pressure chamber of same. The second pressure chamber is communicated with the zone under higher pressure via a high-pressure communication passage and with the zone under lower pressure via a low-pressure communication passage. A control valve device extends across the high-pressure communication passage and the low-pressure communication passage, and is disposed to close the low-pressure communication passage and simultaneously open the high-pressure communication passage when pressure within the zone under lower pressure exceeds a predetermined value, and to open the low-pressure communication passage and simultaneously effect one of closing and reduction of the opening area of the high-pressure communication passage when the pressure within the zone under lower pressure is below the predetermined value, whereby the capacity of the compressor can be varied with high responsiveness.

In a multicylinder/double acting compressor, front and rear discharge chambers as well as front and rear suction chambers are out of communication with each other within the compressor. Arranged in one of the discharge chambers is a discharge valve formed of a rotary valve, which is disposed to close discharge ports communicating associated cylinder chambers with the same discharge chamber. The discharge valve is adapted to keep all the above discharge ports opened. An electromagnetic stop valve is connected between the above discharge chamber and an associated compression fluid circuit, for interrupting the communication therebetween. Half delivery operation of the compressor is carried out while the discharge ports are kept opened by the discharge valve and simultaneously the stop valve is closed, to establish communication between all the associated cylinder chambers and the discharge chamber through the opened discharge ports, whereby compression fluid is moved between the individual cylinder chambers without being compressed and expanded, as the pistons are reciprocated within the respective cylinder chambers.

A variable capacity type compressor in which a control element is mounted in one of side blocks formed with inlet ports for rotation about its own axis in opposite circumferential directions between a first extreme position providing the maximum capacity of the compressor, and a second extreme position providing the minimum capacity of the compressor, to vary the compression starting timing. The control element has cut-out portions through which compression medium is drawn into compression spaces, of which one upstream end with respect to the direction of rotor rotation determines the compression starting timing in cooperation with vanes passing same. The cut-out portion is formed of first and second portions circumferentially arranged. At least one recess is formed in an end face of the cam ring facing the control element, which opens in the camming inner peripheral surface thereof and circumferentially extends from a circumferential location at which a suction stroke is started in a compression space within the cylinder or from a point proximate thereto, toward a downstream side with respect to the direction of rotor rotation. The recess is disposed such that when the control element is in the second extreme position, the recess has a downstream end thereof with respect to the direction of rotor rotation positioned downstream of another end of the cut-out portion. The cut-out portion may further be formed with a third portion circumferentially extending continuously from the second portion toward an upstream side with respect to the direction of rotor rotation.

The endless camming inner peripheral surface of the pump housing, which performs one cycle of suction, compression and discharge of fluid in cooperation with the vanes and the rotor, has a cam profile including an increasing radius portion along which the amount of protrusion of each vane from the rotor gradually increases with movement of the vane, and a decreasing radius portion along which the amount of protrusion of each vane from the rotor gradually decreases with movement of the vane. The increasing radius portion and the decreasing radius portion are continuously arranged in the order mentioned and in the moving direction of the vanes. The increasing radius portion terminates in a first half of the whole circumferential length of the one cycle performing portion of the endless camming inner peripheral surface. The cam profile of the one cycle performing portion of the camming surface is calculated by the use of a single equation.
