  • Patent number: 7123120
    Abstract: Provided is a solenoid which is easier to assemble and which is improved in terms of operability. The solenoid is provided with a snap ring 22 which helps to integrate the molded coil 2 and the solenoid main body 3 into one, whereby it is possible to finally integrate the molded coil 2 and the solenoid main body 3 with each other after various operation processes; by finally attaching the molded coil 2, the lead wire 9 extending from the molded coil 2 constitutes no obstacle, and the assembly is facilitated, thus achieving an improvement in terms of operability.

  • Patent number: 6062824
    Abstract: A displacement control valve included in a variable displacement compressor. The compressor includes a fluid passage for connecting a crank chamber to a discharge chamber. The control valve includes a valve chamber connected to the crank chamber through the fluid passage, a valve hole connected to the discharge chamber through the fluid passage, and a valve body located in the valve chamber. A bellows influences the valve body through a pressure sensitive rod in accordance with suction pressure. A solenoid includes a fixed iron core and a plunger arranged in a plunger chamber. The plunger urges the valve body through a solenoid rod by a force determined by the level of electric current supplied to the solenoid. The fixed iron core, which is located between the valve chamber and the plunger chamber, includes a guide hole for receiving the solenoid rod. An annular passage for connecting the valve chamber to the plunger chamber is formed between the guide hole and the solenoid rod.
