Abstract:
A variable displacement compressor controls a discharge displacement by changing an inclination of a swash plate (5) depending on a pressure differential between a crank chamber (3) and a suction chamber (13) thereby to change a piston stroke. A first communication passage (18) establishes communication between the crank chamber and the suction chamber. A first orifice (19) is provided in the first communication passage. A second communication passage (20) establishes communication between a discharge chamber (14) and the crank chamber. A pressure control valve (21) open/close controls the second communication passage so as to adjust a pressure in the crank chamber. A third communication passage (22) establishes communication between the discharge chamber and the crank chamber, bypassing the second communication passage. A second orifice (23) is provided in the third communication passage.
Abstract:
A slant plate type compressor having a capacity or displacement adjusting mechanism includes a housing for a cylinder block provided with a plurality of cylinders and a crank chamber. A piston is slidably fitted within each of the cylinders and is reciprocated by a drive mechanism which includes a slant plate having a surface with an adjustable incline angle. The incline angle of the slant plate, and thus the capacity of the compressor, is controlled according to the pressure differential between the crank chamber and the suction chamber. The pressure in the suction chamber is controlled by a valve control mechanism which is disposed in a passageway linking the crank chamber and the suction chamber. An internally controlled safety valve device prevents an abnormal pressure differential between the crank and suction chambers. The internally controlled safety valve device is provided within the valve control mechanism, thereby obtaining an easily manufactured slant plate type compressor having a durable and reliable capacity adjusting mechanism with a safety valve device.

An automotive air conditioning system for conditioning air in an automobile passenger compartment is disclosed. The automotive air conditioning system includes a compressor with an externally controlled variable displacement mechanism, a control apparatus for controlling operation of the compressor, an evaporator forming a part of the automotive air conditioning system, and an electromagnetic clutch associated with the compressor to intermittently transmit power from an engine of an automobile to the compressor. The control apparatus controls the operation of the compressor to quickly adequately compensate for reduction of the accelerating performance of the automobile without sacrificing adequate air conditioning in the automobile passenger compartment.

[Object of the Invention] An object of the present invention is to provide a reciprocation compressor comprising an extraction passage connecting a crank chamber with an inlet chamber, an aperture disposed in the extraction passage and a filter capturing foreign matters flowing from the crank chamber to the inlet chamber, wherein the foreign matters captured by the filter is restrained from returning to the crank chamber even if reverse flow of refrigerant from the inlet chamber to the crank chamber is generated, and the filter does not restrict design specifications of other members of the compressor.[Disclosure of the Invention] A reciprocation compressor comprises an extraction passage connecting a crank chamber with an inlet chamber, an aperture disposed in the extraction passage and a filter capturing foreign matters flowing from the crank chamber to the inlet chamber, and the filter is located downstream of the aperture in relation to the flow of the refrigerant in the extraction passage from the crank chamber to the inlet chamber, and the filter is disposed in the inlet chamber.
Abstract:
A compressor includes a compressing mechanism, a discharge chamber, a housing accommodating the compressing mechanism and the discharge chamber, a discharge port communicating with the discharge chamber through a discharge passage and also with an external refrigerant circuit, a muffler formed by an expanded space disposed on the discharge passage, and a check valve disposed on the discharge passage. The pressure loss caused by the discharge passage is less than that in the known compressor. The check valve is disposed in the muffler to open and close an inlet of the muffler, and the muffler is formed by the housing and a cover independent of and connected to the housing.
Abstract:
Oil recirculation mechanism includes an oil separation portion (separation chamber 104b2, separation pipe 130) for separating oil from a discharged refrigerant, oil storage chamber 132 for storing the separated oil, oil return passage through which the oil storage chamber 132 communicates with the suction chamber 119, and orifice 136 with a filter. The oil storage chamber 132 extends in a diametric direction of a compressor housing and has an open end at an outer face of the housing, and the open end is occluded by an occluding member. A partition wall (bulge portion 132a), that separates the oil storage chamber 132 from the suction chamber 119, is disposed in a region more inside than the opening of the open end. An oil return passage is linearly formed through the partition wall and the orifice 136 with a filter is accommodated and positioned in the oil return passage.

In a cylinder head (104) of a compressor (100), suction chamber (119) arranged on an extension line of an axis of driving shaft (106), a cylindrically arranged discharge chamber (120) surrounding suction chamber (119), and communication passage (104b) extending from radially outside of discharge chamber (120) to suction chamber (119) bridging over discharge chamber (120) are provided. In the communication passage (104b), valve (250) regulating an opening of the communication passage (104b) depending on a flow rate of refrigerant is arranged. Valve (250) includes passage forming member (254) cylindrically made of heat insulating material and internally inserted into communication passage (104b), valve housing (253) locked at the downstream of member (254), valve body (251) received in valve housing (253), and compression coil spring (252) urging valve body (251) toward a valve closing direction. Member (254) integrally includes part (254b) regulating movement of valve body (251) in a valve closing direction.
Abstract:
Overpressure of refrigerant in a refrigerant circuit is avoided. A swash plate type variable displacement compressor includes a muffler (muffler space 123) at the top of a cylinder block 101 thereof. The muffler space 123 is connected to a communication passage communicating with a discharge chamber of the compressor, and in this connecting portion, a check valve 200 for suppressing a backflow of the refrigerant is provided. The muffler space 123 communicates with a discharge-side external refrigerant circuit via a discharge port. An inlet port of the high-pressure relief valve 250 in the muffler space 123 communicates with the muffler space 123 located on downstream side of the check valve 200, and an outlet port thereof communicates with a crank chamber 105 of the compressor through communication passages 101c and 101d of the cylinder block 101. The crank chamber 105 communicates with a suction chamber of the compressor through a gas bleeding passage. The high-pressure relief valve 250 is opened when pressure in the muffler space 123 increases to overpressure to flow refrigerant at a high pressure into the crank space 105 from the muffler space 123 through the communication chambers 101c and 101d.
