  • Publication number: 20140294612
    Abstract: A variable displacement swash plate compressor is provided with a housing, a drive shaft, a swash plate, a link mechanism, a piston, a conversion mechanism, an actuator, and a control mechanism. The housing includes a suction chamber, a discharge chamber, a swash plate chamber, and a cylinder bore. The actuator includes a movable body coupled to the swash plate, a fixed body fixed to the drive shaft, and a control pressure chamber defined by the movable body and the fixed body. The movable body includes a circumferential wall extending in a direction along a rotational axis and surrounding the fixed body, which includes a guide portion projecting in an axial direction along an inner surface of the circumferential wall. The movable body contacts the guide portion to restrict inclination of the movable body relative to the drive shaft that is greater than or equal to a predetermined amount.

  • Publication number: 20140294614
    Abstract: A double-headed piston swash plate type compressor includes a rotary shaft, a drive force transmitting member, a tiltable swash plate, a movable body that changes the inclination angle of the swash plate, and a control pressure chamber defined by the movable body and the drive force transmitting member, which are arranged on one side with respect to the swash plate in the axial direction of the rotary shaft. The movable body includes a bottom portion, through which the rotary shaft extends, and a cylindrical portion, which extends from the bottom portion in the axial direction of the rotary shaft to surround the rotary shaft. The cylindrical portion is permitted to move in the axial direction while sliding along a part of the drive force transmitting member, so that the inclination angle of the swash plate is changed in accordance with the internal pressure of the control pressure chamber.

  • Publication number: 20140127045
    Abstract: In a compressor according to the present invention, an actuator is arranged in a swash plate chamber in a manner rotatable integrally with a drive shaft. The actuator includes a rotation body, a movable body, and a control pressure chamber. A control mechanism includes a bleed passage, a supply passage, and a control valve. The control mechanism is capable of changing the pressure in the control pressure chamber to move the movable body. When the pressure in the control pressure chamber exceeds the pressure in the swash plate chamber, the inclination angle of the swash plate with respect to the rotation axis of the drive shaft increases.

  • Publication number: 20140127042
    Abstract: In a compressor, a link mechanism, which allows change of the inclination angle of the swash plate, is arranged between the drive shaft and the swash plate. An actuator is arranged in a swash plate chamber, while being rotational integrally with a drive shaft. The actuator includes a rotation body, a movable body, and a control pressure chamber. The swash plate has a fulcrum, which is coupled to the link mechanism, and a point of application, which is coupled to the movable body. The drive shaft is located between the fulcrum and the point of application.

  • Publication number: 20140127041
    Abstract: A compressor includes an actuator. The actuator is arranged in a swash plate chamber, while being rotational integrally with a drive shaft. With reference to the swash plate, the actuator is located in a region in which a first cylinder bore is located. The actuator includes a rotation body fixed to the drive shaft, a movable body, and a control pressure chamber. A link mechanism is located between the drive shaft and the swash plate. As the inclination angle of the swash plate is changed, the link mechanism moves the top dead center position of a first head by a greater amount than the top dead center position of a second head.

  • Publication number: 20140127043
    Abstract: A compressor includes an actuator. The actuator is arranged in a swash plate chamber, while being rotational integrally with a drive shaft. The actuator includes a rotation body, a movable body, and a control pressure chamber. A control mechanism is provided that changes the pressure in the control pressure chamber to move the movable body. The movable body is arranged such that, when the pressure in the control pressure chamber is raised, the movable body pulls the swash plate to increase the inclination angle of the swash plate.
