摘要:
A vehicle exhaust heat recovery system includes a vapor compression type refrigeration circuit, a boiler to which the refrigerant is introduced from the refrigeration circuit and heated, and an expander for generating motive power by expanding the heated refrigerant. The refrigerant circulates in the refrigeration circuit. The boiler heats the refrigerant introduced therein using exhaust heat generated by the vehicle. The refrigerant that has been subjected to expansion is recycled to the refrigeration circuit.

An air-conditioning apparatus having a refrigerant circuit including a condenser, a pressure reducing device, an evaporator, and a variable displacement compressor. The air-conditioning apparatus has a torque detecting device and an external information detecting device. The torque detecting device directly or indirectly detects the reaction torque acting on the compressor, and the external information detecting device detects various external information other than the torque. The air-conditioning apparatus further has a control device for determining a target torque in accordance with the external information provided by the external information detecting device. The control device executes a feedback control program for controlling the displacement of the compressor such that the torque detected by the torque detecting device approaches the target torque.

A compressor has a drive plate located in a crank chamber and tiltably mounted on a drive shaft and a piston operably coupled to the drive plate and located in a cylinder bore. The inclination of the drive plate is variable according to a difference between the pressure in the crank chamber and the pressure in the cylinder bore. The compressor has an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the pressure in one of the crank chamber and a suction chamber to vary the difference between the pressure in the crank chamber and the pressure in the cylinder bore. The adjusting mechanism includes a gas passage for passing the gas used for adjusting the pressure and a control valve for adjusting the amount of the gas flowing in the gas passage. The control valve includes a valve body, a reacting member and a solenoid. The valve body adjusts the opening size of the gas passage. The reacting member moves the valve body in accordance with the pressure of the gas supplied to the compressor from the external circuit. The solenoid biases the valve body in a direction with the force based on a value of current supplied to the solenoid. A supplying apparatus supplies undulating current to the solenoid. The supplying apparatus varies the average value of the undulating current to vary the biasing force of the solenoid.

A control valve used in a variable displacement compressor. A valve chamber port communicates with a valve chamber. A port is connected with the valve chamber by a valve hole. A valve body selectively opens and closes the valve hole for controlling flow of fluid between the ports. An actuator actuates the valve body. A coil bobbin is accommodated in the casing. A coil is wound about the bobbin. The bobbin contacts a first connector plate. A ground lead of the coil is connected to the first connector plate. A terminal is connected to a supply lead of the coil. A second connector plate is attached to a lid. The second connector plate faces the first connector plate. Flexible contacts are located between the first connector plate and the second connector plate to electrically connect the connector plates.

A variable displacement type compressor having a piston accommodated in a cylinder bore, a swash plate accommodated in a crank chamber for reciprocating the piston and a drive shaft for tiltably and rotatably supporting the swash plate. The swash plate includes projections that extend toward a thrust bearing and have outer surfaces that contact the thrust bearing. A shaft hole within which the drive shaft is located between the projections. The shaft hole has an opening that opens adjacent to the projections. A recess is formed at the end of the shaft hole adjacent to the projections. A hardening method is performed on the wall of the through hole and on the outer surfaces of the projections to improve wear resistance. The hardening method prevents overheating of localized areas of the swash plate.

A housing includes a crank chamber and cylinder bores. Pistons are accommodated in the cylinder bores. A drive shaft is supported by the housing to pass through the crank chamber. A lug plate is fixed to the drive shaft. The pistons are coupled to the lug plate, which converts rotation of the drive shaft into reciprocation of the pistons and compresses gas in the cylinder bores. A thrust bearing is located between the housing and the lug plate and transmits a thrust load applied to the lug plate. The thrust bearing includes a front race located next to the housing, a rear race located next to the lug plate, and rollers located between the front and rear races. A front seat for supporting the front race is formed on the housing. A rear seat for supporting the rear race is formed on the lug plate. The diameters of the front and rear seats are different, which causes elastic deformation of the races when a thrust load is applied.

A single-headed piston type swash-plate-operated refrigerant compressor is provided with a swash plate mounted on a rotatable drive shaft and having front and rear opposite surfaces, single headed pistons arranged on the rear side of the swash plate to reciprocate in respective cylinder bores, and front and rear shoes to be held in slide-contact with the peripheral parts of the front and rear surfaces of the swash plate to engage a tail end part of each of the single headed pistons with the swash plate in which the front and rear surfaces of the swash plate are provided with respective uppermost layers having physical surface properties different from one another. A front uppermost and a rear uppermost layer of the swash plate are formed of a sprayed coating of, for example, a copper-base material and the rear uppermost layer is coated by a solid lubricant layer containing a solid lubricant, such as molybdenum disulfide, at least in a part of the solid lubricant. The thickness of the solid lubricant layer is measured and controlled by using the surface of the front layer as a reference plane.

A housing of a compressor has a shutter chamber for accommodating a shutter. The shutter moves between a closed position, where the shutter stops flow of gas from an external circuit into a suction chamber, and an open position, where the shutter permits the gas flow in response to the tilting motion of a swash plate. A coil spring, which has a conical shape, is located in the shutter chamber to bias the shutter in a direction toward the open position from the closed position. The spring is arranged to prevent the spring from sliding against the inner wall of the shutter chamber when the spring is expanded or contracted by movement of the shutter member.
摘要:
A refrigerant compressor having a drive shaft rotatable to cause compression of a refrigerant gas, and a drive power transmission unit for transmitting a drive power from an external drive power source to the drive shaft, the drive power transmission unit having a pulley freely rotatably mounted around the drive shaft, a power transmitting element fixed to the drive shaft, and a shock absorbent rubber element arranged between the pulley and the power transmitting element for providing a positive engagement between the rubber element and the pulley, and between the rubber element and the power transmitting element. The shock absorbent rubber element absorbs a change in a load torque applied to the compressor before the torque change is transmitted to the external drive power source via the pulley, and disengages from at least one of the pulley and the power transmitting element when an excessive load torque is applied to the compressor to interrupt transmission of the excessive load torque from the compressor to the external drive power source.
