  • Patent number: 5275087
    Abstract: A wobble plate type refrigerant compressor is disclosed which includes a compressor housing having a crank chamber and a cylinder block which is provided with an axial central bore and a plurality of cylinders. A plurality of pistons are slidably fitted within each of the cylinders. A wedge-shaped cam rotor is disposed within the crank chamber to rotate together with a drive shaft. A wobble plate is coupled to the pistons through each corresponding connecting rod. The wobble plate is disposed on the inclined surface of the cam rotor to convert rotating motion of the cam rotor into reciprocating motion to be imparted to the pistons while preventing the rotating motion of the wobble plate. A first bevel gear is fixed on the wobble plate and a second bevel gear connected thereto is supported by the cylinder block.
