  • Patent number: 10801480
    Abstract: A control valve includes: a body having a main passage through which a discharge chamber and a control chamber communicate, and a sub-passage through which the control chamber and a suction chamber communicate; a main valve seat provided in the main passage; a main valve element configured to touch and leave the main valve seat to close and open a main valve; a sub-valve seat provided in the sub-passage; a sub-valve element configured to touch and leave the sub-valve seat to close and open a sub-valve; a solenoid configured to generate a drive force in a valve closing direction of the main valve; an actuating rod for transmitting the drive force of the solenoid to the main valve element and the sub-valve element; a spring for applying a biasing force to the main valve in a valve opening direction; a spring for applying a biasing force to the sub-valve in a valve closing direction; and a differential pressure valve opening mechanism configured to open the sub-valve when a pressure difference between a control

  • Publication number: 20160186733
    Abstract: A control valve includes: a body having a port communicating with a discharge chamber, a port communicating with a control chamber, and a main valve hole formed in a passage connecting the ports; a main valve element configured to close and open a valve section by moving toward and away from the main valve hole; a solenoid configured to generate a force for driving the main valve element in valve opening and closing directions of the valve section, power supply to the solenoid being controlled according to pulse width modulation (PWM); and a vibration absorbing structure including a spring connected with a plunger configured to be displaced integrally with the main valve element, and a weight connected with the plunger with the spring therebetween in a relatively displaceable manner, and configured to suppress vibration of the main valve element caused by the PWM control.
