摘要:
A variable displacement compressor includes a cylinder block and a valve plate connected to the cylinder block. The cylinder block has cylinder bores and a central supporting hole. A piston is housed in each cylinder bore to compress gas. A swash plate is connected to the pistons to convert rotation of the drive shaft into reciprocation of the pistons. A cylindrical body is housed in the supporting hole. A coil spring located in the supporting hole presses the cylindrical body toward the swash plate. The cylindrical body moves axially as the swash plate is inclined. When the swash plate is minimally inclined, the valve plate receives force from the swash plate through the cylindrical body. Therefore, axial forces from the swash plate are not exerted on the drive shaft.

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.
摘要:
A variable displacement compressor that decreases displacement to reduce compression load without imbalancing the rotation of the drive shaft when the rotating speed of the compressor's drive shaft exceeds a predetermined limit value. The compressor includes a pressurizing passage connecting a crank chamber to a discharge chamber. A rotated guide rotates integrally with the drive shaft. The pressurizing passage is opened and closed by a valve body. Orbiting balls, which contact the valve body, are arranged about the axis of the drive shaft and the rotated guide. The balls follow the rotation of the rotated guide and orbit about the axis. The orbiting radius of the balls varies. A spring urges the balls in a direction decreasing the orbiting radius of the balls. When the rotating speed of the drive shaft exceeds the limit value, centrifugal force moves the balls against the force of the spring and increases the orbiting diameter of the balls. This moves the valve body and increases the size of the pressurizing passage.

In accordance with this invention, an automotive air conditioner is provided in which operational efficiency of the air conditioner is enhanced and comfortable operation may be performed with little vibration. The automotive air conditioner comprises a front seat cooling apparatus, a rear seat cooling apparatus, an environment detection device for detecting air-conditioning environment conditions, and a controller for controlling the operation of the cooling apparatuses on the basis of air-conditioning environment conditions detected by the environment detection device. A compressor drive source for either one of the cooling apparatuses is a vehicle drive source, and a compressor drive source of the other cooling apparatus is a drive source that is independent of the vehicle drive source. More preferably, the drive source that is independent of the vehicle drive source uses an electric motor. Also, the air-conditioning environment conditions to be detected by the environment detection device includes at least one of a passenger compartment temperature, an outside temperature, a solar radiation amount and a passenger set compartment interior temperature.

A heating system for a vehicle is provided which does not require a large boarding space in an engine room very much, which can be manufactured at a reduced cost, and which can fully heat a passenger compartment of a vehicle when an engine is started. For instance, in the vehicle heating system, a water pump (WP) and a viscous heater (VH) is incorporated into an installation housing (1), a plate (2) and a cover (3) which are bonded to a cylinder block of an engine. The water pump (WP) and the viscous heater (VH) are driven by a drive shaft (11) which is shared by them. Moreover, the viscous heater (VH) includes an auxiliary water jacket (WJ.sub.2). The auxiliary water jacket (WJ.sub.2) is communicated with a main water jacket (WJ.sub.1) of the engine by way of a pump chamber (4) of the water pump (WP), and is further communicated with a heater core for heating a passenger compartment of a vehicle.
摘要:
A lubricating mechanism for a piston type compressor in a refrigeration system. A cam plate is mounted on a drive shaft for integral rotation therewith in a crank chamber, which is defined in a casing. Pistons are coupled to the cam plate and reciprocate in cylinder bores extending parallel to the drive shaft. Each piston compresses refrigerant gas containing lubricating oil mist and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas from the compressor during rotation of the cam plate. The refrigerant gas is supplied into the crank chamber and is circulated in the casing. The lubricating oil is supplied to various moving parts from a location near the drive shaft. An oil pan is provided outside and to the side of the casing for collecting lubricating oil. A recovering passage connects the oil pan with the crank chamber to convey the lubricating oil from the crank chamber to the oil pan for collection. A guide passage guides the lubricating oil collected in the oil pan to the location near the drive shaft using gravitational force. By mounting the oil pan on the side of the casing, the oil pan collects relatively less liquefied refrigerant and more oil, and thus improves lubrication of the compressor.

A compressor has a passage structure for keeping pressure in the crank chamber optimum. A cylinder block has a pressure passage connecting a crank chamber to a suction chamber to regulate the pressure in the crank chamber. The cylinder block has preformed bolt holes for receiving bolts to fix a front housing and a rear housing to the cylinder block. The pressure passage is partially defined by one of the bolt holes.

A variable capacity swash-plate type compressor provided with a suction chamber for refrigerant gas before compression, a discharge chamber for compressed refrigerant gas, a crank chamber for a swash-plate assembly driving reciprocation of compressing pistons in cylinder bores of a cylinder block, a high pressure gas supply passageway fluidly communicating between the discharge chamber and the crank chamber so as to supply the crank chamber with a high pressure gas, a flow choke arranged adjacent to the high pressure gas supply passageway so as to regulate the pressure and flow rate of the high pressure gas flowing through the gas supply passageway, and a control valve unit for controlling extraction of the high pressure gas from the crank chamber toward the suction chamber in response to a refrigerating load. The high pressure gas supply passageway is formed in the cylinder block, and the flow choke is provided in a discharge valve assembly including a valve plate, a discharge valve element, and a valve retainer.
