Abstract: Provided is a compressor, in which the inclination angle of a swash plate is changed by an actuator, ensuring stability on a product-by-product basis while realizing reduction in size. In the compressor, when pressure in a control pressure chamber increases, a movable body moves toward a flange. At this time, the movable body pulls the opposite end side of a swash plate rearward in a swash plate chamber via first and second pulling arms. A link mechanism permits increase of the inclination angle of the swash plate until reaching a maximum value. When the pressure in the control pressure chamber reaches a required control pressure, a rear wall of the movable body which has moved rearward in the swash plate chamber abuts a front face of the flange. This makes it possible in this compressor to restrict the maximum value of the inclination angle of the swash plate.

The actuator includes a partition body and a movable body, which moves in a direction along the rotational axis of the rotary shaft. The movable body includes a guide surface, which changes the inclination angle of the swash plate, and a sliding portion, which slides on the rotary shaft or on the partition body. When viewed from a direction that is perpendicular to the direction in which the rotational axis of the rotary shaft extends and perpendicular to a first direction, the guide surface is configured such that a perpendicular line or a normal line to the guide surface intersects with the rotational axis of the rotary shaft in a zone surrounded by the sliding portion.

Abstract: Provided is a compressor, in which discharge capacity is changed by an actuator, exhibiting high controllability while realizing reduction in size. In the compressor, a movable body includes a rear wall, a circumferential wall, and a coupling mechanism. The coupling mechanism includes a first arm provided with a first pulling point and a second arm provided with a second pulling point. In the compressor, when the inclination angle of a swash plate is increased, the movable body pulls the swash plate via the first and second arms. At this time, in the compressor, pulling force can be applied at two points, i.e., at the first pulling point and the second pulling point. Consequently, in the compressor, even when the size of the rear wall and the circumferential wall is increased, the rigidity of the first and second arms can be made lower.
