A position where the pin (51) and the axial-load receiving surface (53a) contact with each other when the swash plate (24) has a maximum inclination angle is located within a range of 27 to 90 degrees anterior, in the rotational direction, to a position (TDC) corresponding to the top dead center.

Abstract: A rotary valve (71) of a compressor is formed with a release path (71e) configured to release a high pressure residual refrigerant which have not been discharged in a compression and discharge stroke from one cylinder bores (B1) which is in an initial stage of its suction stroke to other cylinder bores (B3, B4) having a lower pressure than the one cylinder bores (B1). The release path (71e) is formed with an inlet (71f), a first outlet (71g), a second outlet (71h), and a communication part (71k) connecting the inlet and the outlets.

Abstract: An air bleeding passage 31 through which an intake chamber 7 and a crankcase 5 communicate with each other includes at least: a radial passage 31b which is formed in the driving shaft 10 to be directed in the radial direction, and which indirectly communicates with the intake chamber 7; and a radial passage 31a which is formed in a rotor 21 fixed to the driving shaft 10 by press-fitting to be directed in the radial direction, and through which the radial passage 31b in the driving shaft 10 and the crankcase 5 are communicatively connected to each other. An inlet part 61 of the radial passage 31a in the rotor 21 is configured as a cylinder-shaped part 61 protruding from the outer peripheral part 63 thereof, and is placed not to overlap a connecting mechanism 40 in the circumferential direction, the connecting mechanism 40 used for connecting the rotor 21 and a swash plate 24 to each other.

Abstract: A compressor is disclosed having a gas extraction passage, internally formed in a drive shaft and continuously communicating with a crank chamber and a suction chamber, that has an inlet portion, to be exposed to the crank chamber, is formed in the drive shaft in a radial direction. As a result, mist-like oil accompanied by blow-by gas tending to flow into the gas extraction passage initially impinges upon and adheres to an inner peripheral surface of the inlet portion of the gas extraction passage due to rotational movement of the drive shaft. Namely, oil separation (gas-liquid separation) occurs at the inlet portion of the gas extraction passage. Then, oil separated from the blow-by gas at the inlet portion of the gas extraction passage is forcibly returned to the crank chamber due to a centrifugal force caused by rotational movement of the drive shaft. Accordingly, the compressor has a structure in which oil accompanied by blow-by gas is hard to escape the suction chamber.
