摘要:
A variable displacement compressor includes a rotor, which is fixed to a drive shaft, and a pivotal swash plate, which is supported on the drive shaft and slides in an axial direction along the drive shaft. A hinge mechanism is located between the rotor and the swash plate. The hinge mechanism rotates the swash plate integrally with the rotor and guides the pivoting and the sliding motion of the swash plate. The hinge mechanism includes a swing arm, which extends from the swash plate. The swash plate is made of aluminum or aluminum alloy material. The swing arm is separate from the swash plate and is made of iron-based metal material. Therefore, while the swash plate is light, the hinge mechanism is strong.

A reciprocating piston type compressor for compressing refrigerant gas for an automobile air conditioning system is improved to protect itself without protective control by a computer. The compressor detects the temperature of a part of the compressor in which the temperature increases to higher than a predetermined critical temperature when the compressor malfunctions, and changes a displacement control valve to reduce the displacement of the compressor when the detected temperature is higher than the predetermined critical temperature.

A plurality of pistons reciprocate in the associated bores in the cylinder block in accordance with the rotation of the swash plate. First an second thrust bearings are provided in the cylinder block at both sides of the swash plate, and receive the axial loads applied to the swash plate and drive shaft according to the reciprocation of the pistons. The first thrust bearing has the first seat portion clamped at both sides by the swash plate and cylinder block and the second seat portion located apart from one of the swash plate and cylinder block.

A piston, swash plate compressor has a rotary valve that rotates integrally with a main drive shaft. A chamber is provided, separated from the piston bores by a partition. Valved ports are formed in the partition. One end of the rotary valve contacts the partition. Compressed gas biases the rotary valve against the partition to improve sealing and thus, efficiency.

A compressor including a rotation detecting device for detecting the rotation of the compressor to stop the compressor in an emergency. The rotation detecting device comprises a fastening bolt fastening the casing sections together, a rotatable member supported by a drive shaft, and a magnetic sensor arranged outside the casing around the head of the fastening bolt. A magnetic flux is guided from a magnetic clutch to the rotatable member or provided by permanent magnets on the rotatable member. The rotatable member has a notch or a projection for producing periodically changing a magnetic flux which passes through the fastening bolt and is detected by the magnetic sensor.
摘要:
A capacity control valve for a variable capacity refrigerant compressor for controlling the compressor capacity by adjustably changing a pressure level prevailing in a crank chamber of the compressor, the capacity control valve having a valve mechanism opening and closing a portion of a gas-supply passageway extending between a discharge chamber and the crank chamber of the compressor, and a discharge pressure responsive unit controlling a movement of the valve mechanism in such a manner that only when the discharge pressure of the refrigerant gas is below a predetermined pressure level, does the valve mechanism reduce the opening area of the portion of the gas-supply passageway due to a force provided by the discharge pressure responsive unit in addition to a different force produced by the discharge pressure of the refrigerant gas. The capacity control valve enables the compressor to produce a satisfactory refrigerating performance irrespective of the environmental temperature.
摘要:
A swash plate is mounted on a drive shaft disposed in a housing having a gas suction chamber in such a way that the swash plate is rotatable integrally with the drive shaft. A plurality of cylinder bores are formed around the drive shaft, extending along the drive shaft. Disposed in each cylinder bore is a piston, which reciprocates between top and bottom dead centers by undulating movement of the swash plate caused by rotation of the drive shaft. A compression chamber where gas is compressed by the reciprocal movement of the piston is defined in each cylinder bore. Provided between the drive shaft and the swash plate is a mechanism for altering an angle of the swash plate with respect to the axis of the drive shaft to change a reciprocal stroke of the piston to thereby control compression displacement. A rotary valve is provided at the drive shaft to be rotatable integrally with the drive shaft. The rotary valve has a passage for permitting uncompressed gas to move to each compression chamber from the suction chamber in synchronism with the reciprocal movement of the piston during rotation of the rotary valve before the piston reaches the bottom dead center. The compressor further comprises a mechanism for forcibly changing the timing at which the piston substantially reaches the top dead center in accordance with an inclined angle of the swash plate.
摘要:
An axial multi-piston compressor includes a drive shaft, a cylinder block having cylinder bores formed therein and surrounding the drive shaft, and a plurality of pistons slidably received in the respective cylinder bores, wherein the pistons are successively reciprocated in the cylinder bores by a rotation of the drive shaft so that a suction stroke and a discharge stroke are alternately executed in each of the cylinder bores. During the suction stroke, a fluid is introduced into the cylinder bore concerned, and during the compression stroke, the introduced fluid is compressed and discharged from the cylinder bore concerned, such that a residual part of the compressed fluid is inevitably left in the cylinder bore concerned when the compression stroke is finished. The compressor further includes a rotary valve for allowing the residual part of the compressed fluid to escape from the cylinder bore concerned into two other cylinder bores disposed adjacent to each other and subjected to the compression stroke.
