摘要:
In a control cylinder device of a variable displacement compressor, an annular cylinder concentric with a driving rotary shaft is provided in a housing of a compressor body, and an annular control piston is slidably fitted in the cylinder to define a control pressure chamber within the cylinder. The annular control piston is connected to a sleeve, such that the sliding movement of the sleeve can be controlled by the operation of the control piston. Further, inner and outer seal rings are interposed in an axially misaligned relation to each other between inner and outer slide surfaces of the cylinder and control piston. This facilitates an accurate formation of the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder in the cylinder device on which the control piston slides. Also, this easily insures sealing properties required between the slide surfaces of the cylinder and the piston. In addition, it is possible to effectively prevent the inclination of the control piston within the cylinder.
摘要:
A driving rotary shaft is rotatably carried on a compressor body of a variable displacement compressor. On axial one side of a sleeve slidably carried on the driving rotary shaft, there is disposed a first spring of a displacement setting device for biasing the sleeve in one axial direction and holding a stopper, with which the sleeve is engageable, at a stop position on the driving rotary shaft. On the axial other side of the sleeve, there is disposed a second spring of the displacement setting device for biasing the sleeve in the other axial direction, the second spring being weaker than the first spring. At the starting of the compressor, the first spring holds the stopper at the stop position against a repulsive force of the second spring to hold the sleeve engaged with the stopper at a fixed position. This makes it possible to set the strengths of individual members and the capacity of a clutch to be smaller than those in the prior art, leading to reductions in size, weight and cost of the entire compressor.
