Abstract: A compressor includes a housing including a case and a front head attached to the case, a compressor body contained in the housing, and an intake chamber provided in the front head between the compressor body and the front head. A lower part of the front head forming the intake chamber is positioned further away from the case than an upper part of the front head to increase a capacity of the intake chamber.

Abstract: A compressor includes a front housing having a crank chamber therein, a cylinder block having a cylinder bore therein, a rear housing including a low-pressure chamber and a high-pressure chamber therein, a valve plate on which a suction hole for communicating the cylinder bore and the low-pressure chamber is formed, and a suction valve disk for opening and closing the suction hole. A predetermined gap width is provided between the suction valve disk and an opening edge of the suction hole, and the gap width is set to 13-15% of a thickness of the suction valve disk. By the compressor, fixation of the suction valve on the valve plate is prevented. Therefore, noise-and-vibration performance improves and thereby generation of undesired noises is prevented. Further, since the fixation of the suction valve on the valve plate is prevented, a desired volume of refrigerant is surely supplied into the cylinder bore.

Abstract: A compressor includes a housing (10) including a case (11) and a front head (12) attached to the case, a compressor body (60) contained in the housing, and an intake chamber (34) provided in the front head between the compressor body and the front head. A part of the front head (12) forming the intake chamber (34) is extended to increase a capacity of the intake chamber.

Abstract: The first maximum inclination angle ?1 is a maximum inclination angle of a link member 45 allowed by a clearance between a slit 41s of a rotor 21 and one end 45a of the link member 45; the second maximum inclination angle ?2 is a maximum inclination angle of the link member 45 allowed by a clearance between a slit 43s of a swash plate 24 and the other end 45b of the link member 45; the third maximum inclination angle ?3 is a maximum inclination angle of a first linking pin 46 allowed by a clearance between the first linking pin 46 and a first bearing hole 41a; the fourth maximum inclination angle ?4 is a maximum inclination angle of a second linking pin 47 allowed by a clearance between the second linking pin 47 and a second bearing hole 43a; and the fifth maximum inclination angle ?5 is a maximum inclination angle of the swash plate 24 with respect to the drive shaft 10 allowed by a clearance between the drive shaft 10 and a pair of the tilting guide faces 37, 37.

Abstract: A tilting plate type compressor includes: cylinder bores; a crank chamber; a drive shaft rotatably supported by a bearing provided within a bearing cavity; a tilting plate provided within the crank chamber and capable of swingably rotating due to a rotation of the drive shaft; and pistons capable of reciprocating within the cylinder bores due to swingably rotating of the tilting plate; an extraction path communicating between the crank chamber and a suction chamber; and an intake path communicating between the crank chamber and a discharge chamber. The extraction path includes an intra-axis path provided within the drive shaft and opens into the bearing cavity. The intake path opens into the bearing cavity and communicates with the crank chamber via the bearing cavity. According to the compressor, it can be prevented much as possible that oil leaks from the crank chamber through the extraction path.
