Patent number: 11614080Abstract: A subassembly for a compressor controls a fluid flow of a fluid between a high-pressure region and a crank chamber pressure region and between the crank chamber pressure region and a suction pressure region of the compressor. The subassembly includes a first electrical control valve, a second electrical control valve, and an electrical control device. Each of the first electrical control valve and the second electrical control valve has a valve member arranged within a valve housing and displaceable between a pair of positions. The electrical control device is adapted to control, during operation of the compressor, a fluid flow between the high-pressure region and a crank chamber pressure region and between the crank chamber pressure region and the suction pressure region by controlling the positions of the valve members.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2018Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: TE Connectivity Germany GmbHInventors: Daniel Domke, Steffen Heute, Martin Moritz, Simon Schemer

Patent number: 11053795Abstract: A compressor having a front housing in which a crank chamber is formed. A cylinder block is coupled to an opposite surface facing the front housing and includes reciprocating pistons in a plurality of cylinder bores. A rear housing is coupled to an opposite surface facing the cylinder block, the rear housing includes a suction chamber and a discharge chamber formed therein. A rotating shaft 400 is inserted via centers of the front housing and the cylinder block, the shaft inserted into a swash plate. A diameter maintenance part is configured to constantly maintain a diameter based on an axis direction of the piston 220. A sensor part is configured to sense a speed and a stroke of the piston in accordance with a change in position of a position determination part positioned on one side of the diameter maintenance part.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2020Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignees: TE CONNECTIVITY GERMANY GMBH, HANON SYSTEMSInventors: Jung Myung Kwak, Yong Hee Kim, Daniel Domke, Simon Schemer, Peter Kurt Zawadzky

Publication number: 20210033080Abstract: A control device of a compressor includes a piston which reciprocates by a swash plate, a crankcase receiving the swash plate mounted such that an inclination angle thereof is variable, a discharge chamber from which a compressed working fluid is discharged, a suction chamber sucking the working fluid to be compressed, a first communication channel connecting the suction chamber and the crankcase, a second communication channel connecting the discharge chamber and the crankcase, and a control valve which selectively opens and closes the first communication channel and the second communication channel. The control device includes a suction pressure sensor measuring a pressure of the suction chamber, a valve control unit determining a target suction pressure on the basis of the value measured by the suction pressure sensor and a set temperature, and a valve driving unit controlling the opening degree of the control valve to achieve the target suction pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2019Publication date: February 4, 2021Inventors: Jung Myung Kwak, Yong Hee Kim, Daniel Domke, Simon Scherner, Peter Zawadzky

Publication number: 20200340464Abstract: A compressor control module (CCM) controls an output of a variable displacement swash plate compressor. The CCM directly calculates, or receives from an external source, a signal indicating a desired or required output from the compressor, receives a current value of the desired or required output, and receives or calculates a current rotation speed and angle, with respect to a rotation axis, of a swash plate, or a current piston stroke length and a reciprocating frequency of the compressor. The CCM determines a difference between the desired or required output from the compressor and the current value and outputs a signal to a valve driving unit which will adjust an angle of a swash plate such that the actual value becomes closer to, or the same as, the desired or required output, taking into account the additional values received or calculated in the receives or calculates step.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2020Publication date: October 29, 2020Applicants: TE Connectivity Germany GmbH, Hanon SystemsInventors: Simon Scherner, Peter Kurt Zawadzky, Daniel Domke, Jung-Myung Kwak, Yong-Hee Kim

Patent number: 10724509Abstract: An electric control valve for a coolant compressor comprises a valve housing, an electric actuating drive, a valve body displaceable by the electric actuating drive between a first position and a second position inside the valve housing, a position sensor determining a position of the valve body, a suction-pressure sensor, and a control system. The control system is adapted to control a coolant flow from a high-pressure region into a crankcase-chamber-pressure region of the coolant compressor by controlling the position of the valve body via the electric actuating drive based on the suction pressure received from the suction-pressure sensor. The control system moves the valve body to the first position to connect the high-pressure region and the crankcase-chamber-pressure region if the suction pressure is below a predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2017Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: TE CONNECTIVITY GERMANY GMBHInventor: Daniel Domke

Patent number: 10451048Abstract: A control valve for an air conditioning compressor is disclosed. The control valve comprises a control piston, an electric motor, a sensor, and a control unit. The control piston connects a refrigerant flow between a high-pressure area and a crankcase pressure area of the air conditioning compressor in a first position. The control piston further connects the refrigerant flow between the crankcase pressure area and a low-pressure area of the air conditioning compressor in a second position. The electric motor moves the control piston between the first position and the second position. The sensor determines the position of the control piston. The control unit is connected to the sensor and the electric motor. The control unit controls the electric motor to move the control piston and control the refrigerant flow based on the position of the control piston determined by the sensor.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: TE Connectivity Germany GmbHInventor: Daniel Domke
