Patent number: 10260491Abstract: Provided is a sliding member, method for manufacturing sliding member, and compressor swash plate using sliding member in which adhesion between the substrate and the resin is enhanced, and which has the excellent durability whereby peeling of the resin film from the substrate does not occur due to prolonged sliding even under harsh load conditions. The sliding member provides a substrate irradiated laser light with energy intensity per unit area of 0.053 J/mm2 or more and configured an uneven part formed toward a vertical direction by the irradiated laser light and a melted and solidified portion on the uneven part and a resin film including solid lubricant and a binder resin on the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2014Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: TAIHO KOGYO CO., LTD.Inventors: Masatomo Kato, Masato Shibata, Shingo Goto, Eiji Yoshida, Keigo Ota

Patent number: 9528504Abstract: The outer periphery of the outer part of a substrate is a chamfer, and the outer part of the substrate is covered by a resin film layer. The thickness of the resin film layer at the chamfer is thicker than the locations radially further inwards from said chamfer. The surface of the resin film layer on the outer peripheral edge of the outer part is coplanar with the surface of the resin film layer further inwards. These locations act as the sliding surface (the surface of the swash plate) that slides on a shoe, and compared with conventional techniques, because the resin film layer in the outer peripheral edge is thick, attrition of the portion being pressed against the shoe is suppressed. For that reason, the outer peripheral edge of the substrate and the vicinity thereof are prevented from being exposed, and seizure of the swash plate can be prevented.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2013Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: TAIHO KOGYO CO., LTD.Inventors: Masato Shibata, Kyohei Yamane, Shingo Goto

Patent number: 9206890Abstract: This swash plate comprises a resin film layer formed on the front surface and the rear surface, and said resin film layer serves as the sliding surface which slides on a shoe. The inner periphery of the resin film layer is a tilted surface which a lubricant can easily cross over. In other words, angle ?1 is 10° or less and angle ?2 of the rising part is set to 20° or less, and when the lubricant is supplied from the inner periphery side of the swash plate, said lubricant easily crosses over said inner periphery which is a tilted surface, and is quickly supplied to the surface (the sliding surface) outside of said inner periphery. Because the lubricant is quickly supplied to the front surface and the rear surface (the sliding surface) of the swash plate, seizure of the swash plate can be prevented.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2013Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: TAIHO KOGYO CO., LTD.Inventors: Masato Shibata, Kyohei Yamane, Shingo Goto
