  • Patent number: 10309382
    Abstract: A piston compressor may prevent excessive oil from accumulating in a crank chamber while securing the supply of oil to a swash plate. In a piston compressor in which an oil separation passage is formed in a shaft and a crank chamber communicates with a suction chamber through the oil separation passage, a supply passage opens at a region of a cylinder block opposed to a swash plate to allow a working fluid introduced from a discharge chamber into the crank chamber to be supplied to the swash plate and a bypass passage allowing the crank chamber to constantly communicate with the suction chamber is provided to prevent the accumulation of excessive oil in the crank chamber regardless of the operation condition. The bypass passage communicates with the crank chamber at a region positioned in the outer side of a rotation trajectory of the swash plate in the radial direction.

  • Publication number: 20170122300
    Abstract: To provide a piston compressor capable of preventing excessive oil from accumulating in a crank chamber in any operation state while securing the supply of oil to a swash plate. In a piston compressor in which an oil separation passage (43) is formed in a shaft (7) and a crank chamber (2) communicates with a suction chamber (31) through the oil separation passage (43), a supply passage (40) opens at a region of a cylinder block (1) opposed to a swash plate (18) to thereby allow a working fluid introduced from a discharge chamber (32) into the crank chamber (2) to be supplied to the swash plate (18) and a bypass passage (50) allowing the crank chamber (2) to constantly communicate with the suction chamber (31) is provided to thereby prevent the accumulation of excessive oil in the crank chamber (2) regardless of the operation condition.

  • Patent number: 9169835
    Abstract: Provided is a piston type compressor which can enhance cooling of internal parts housed in a crank chamber, while effectively reducing an outflow of oil to the outside of a compressor by effectively performing a centrifugal separating operation due to the rotation of a shaft. The compressor includes: a first suction path which directly introduces a working fluid flowed from a suction port 30 into suction chambers 27a, 27b without via the crank chamber 7; and a second suction path which introduces the working fluid flowed from the suction port 30 into the suction chambers 27a, 27b via the crank chamber 7, and the second suction path includes: an oil separation passage 32 where a working fluid is introduced into the suction chambers 27a, 27b from the crank chamber 7 via holes formed in the shaft; and a bypass passage 33 where the working fluid is introduced into the suction chambers 27a, 27b from the crank chamber 7 through the cylinder blocks 1, 2 without via the shaft 12.

  • Patent number: 5181831
    Abstract: A variable capacity wobble plate compressor including a cylinder block, the cylinder block having a plurality of cylinders formed therein and a bearing-receiving hole formed therethrough, bearings received within the bearing-receiving hole, a discharging space defined on one side of the cylinder block, a crankcase defined on the other side of the cylinder block, a wobble plate accommodated within the crankcase and mounted on a drive shaft, a plurality of outlet ports communicating between respective ones of the cylinders and the discharging space, discharge valve means having a plurality of valve elements for closing and opening respective ones of the outlet ports, and a fixing member securing the discharge valve means to the cylinder block at the one side thereof, wherein the fixing member has a high pressure-introducing passage formed therethrough for introducing high-pressure refrigerant gas within the discharging space to the bearing-receiving hole, and then into the crankcase.
