Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a variable displacement swash-plate type compressor according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a compressor is suitable for use as a refrigerant compressor in automotive air conditioners.
  • variable displacement swash-plate type compressor has been known from JP-A-58 162 780 in which the angle of tilt of a swash plate is linearly changed so as to effect a linear control of displacement between 0% and 100%.
  • This known swash-plate type compressor suffers from the following problem: Namely, a decrease in the angle of tilt of the swash plate in this compressor causes not only a reduction in the piston stroke but also an increase in the dead volume on each rear side of each piston of the compressor. The increase in the dead volume in turn causes a problem that, due to expansion of the gas in the dead volume, the displacement of the compressor is significantly changed even with a slight change in the tilting angle of the swash plate.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 60-175783 discloses a swash-plate type compressor which does not employ double-headed pistons but utilizes a swash plate arranged such that the angle and the position of the swash plate are changed by the control of a pressure acting on the rear side of each piston so that the dead volumes are not changed when the tilting angle is decreased.
  • pistons are provided only on one side of the swash plate, so that the pressure of the gas discharged from the compressor greatly pulsates and the torque required for driving the compressor fluctuates undesirably.
  • the capacity or displacement per size of the compressor is limited.
  • the compressor employs a double-headed piston type mechanism, i.e., pistons arranged on both sides of a swash plate.
  • pistons arranged on both sides of a swash plate.
  • this double-headed piston type it is impossible to make use of back pressure acting on the rear sides of the pistons for the purpose of controlling the angle and position of the swash plate because working chambers are provided on both sides of the swash plate.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a swash-plate type compressor capable of linearly controlling the displacement with good response to a displacement control input.
  • a swash-plate type compressor in which an axial movement of a spool for controlling the angle of tilt of the swash plate is controlled by varying internal pressure in a control pressure chamber by means of a control valve. Therefore, the angle of tilt of the swash plate can be changed linearly and with good response by the operation of the control valve.
  • the compressor has an outer shell which is composed of the following parts assembled together by through bolts not shown: a front housing 4 made of an aluminum alloy; a front side plate 8; a suction valve 9; a front cylinder block 5; a rear cylinder block 6; a suction valve 12; a rear side plate 11 and a rear housing 13.
  • a front housing 4 made of an aluminum alloy
  • a front side plate 8 a suction valve 9
  • a front cylinder block 5 a rear cylinder block 6
  • a suction valve 12 a rear side plate 11 and a rear housing 13.
  • each of the cylinder blocks 5 and 6 is provided with five cylinder bores 64 formed therein in parallel with one another.
  • the compressor further has a shaft 1 which is rotatably supported on the front housing 4 and the front cylinder block 5 through bearings 2 and 3 and which is adapted to be driven by the power of an automotive engine which is not shown.
  • a thrust force is generated to act on the shaft 1 so as to urge the shaft to the left as viewed in Fig. 1.
  • This thrust force is born by the front cylinder block 5 through a thrust bearing 15.
  • a stopper ring 16 is provided for the purpose of preventing the shaft 1 from moving to the right as viewed in Fig. 1 by a reactional force.
  • the stopper ring 16 is retained in an annular groove formed in the surface of the shaft 1.
  • a rear shaft 40 is rotatably mounted in a spool 30 through a bearing 14.
  • a thrust force which acts on the rear shaft 40 rightwards as viewed in Fig. 1 is born by the spool 30 through a thrust bearing 116.
  • a stopper ring 17, which is retained in an annular groove formed in the surface of the rear shaft 40 prevents the rear shaft 40 from coming off the spool 30.
  • the spool 30 is axially slidably received in a cylindrical portion 65 of the rear cylinder block 6 and a cylindrical portion 135 of the rear housing 13.
  • a swash plate 10 is provided on the center thereof with a spherical surface portion 107 which receives a spherical portion 405 of the rear shaft 40 so that the swash plate 10 is rockably supported by the swash plate 10.
  • the shaft 1, the swash plate 10 and the rear shaft 40 are shown in an exploded perspective view in Fig. 3.
  • the swash plate 10 is provided on its side adjacent to the shaft 1 with opposing walls defining a slit 105 which is adapted to receive a flat web portion 165 formed on the end of the shaft 1 adjacent to the swash plate 10.
  • the flat web portion 165 makes a face-to-face contact with the opposing wall surfaces of the slit 105 so that a torque applied to the shaft 1 is transmitted to the swash plate 10.
  • Shoes 18 and 19 are slidably disposed on both sides of the swash plate 10.
  • the cylinder bores 64 in the front cylinder block 5 and the rear cylinder block 5 slidably receive pistons 7.
  • the shoes 18 and 19 are so designed and sized that their outer surfaces constitute parts of a common sphere when they are assembled in the compressor.
  • the aforementioned flat web portion 165 of the shaft 1 is provided with an elongated slot 166, while the swash plate 10 is provided with pin-receiving holes formed in the opposing walls which define the slit 105.
  • a pin 80 is inserted into the holes 105 and 108 through the elongated slot 166 so as to pivotally and movably connect the swash plate 10 to the shaft 1.
  • a stopper ring 81 is provided on one end of the pin 80 to prevent the pin 80 from coming off these holes.
  • the angle of tilt of the swash plate varies depending on a variable position of the pin 80 along the length of the elongated slot 166.
  • a change of the position of the pin 80 also causes a change in the position of the center (portion supported by the spherical portion 405 of the rear shaft 40) of the swash plate.
  • the elongated slot 166 is so designed that, even when the stroke of the piston 7 is changed due to a change of the angle of tilt of the swash plate 10, the top dead center of the piston 7 in a working chamber 60 on the right side of each piston as viewed in Fig. 1 is not changed substantially, thus eliminating substantial increase in the dead volume in this working chamber 60.
  • a working chamber 50 which is disposed on the left side of each piston 7 as viewed in Fig. 1
  • the top dead center of the piston is changed as a result of a change of the angle of tilt of the swash plate, thus causing a change in the dead volume.
  • the elongated slot 166 is so shaped, sized and positioned such that the position of the top dead center of the piston 7 in the working chamber 60 is not changed substantially even when the angle of tilt of the swash plate is changed.
  • the elongated slot 166 must have an arcuate form in a strict sense. Particularly, however, such an arcuate form can be well approximated by a substantially linear elongated slot.
  • the elongated slot 166 is disposed on the axis of the shaft 1 so as to prevent the shape and size of the flat web portion 165 from becoming excessively large-sized due to provision of the elongated slot 166.
  • the reduction in the size of the flat web portion 165 which is realized by positioning the elongated slot 166 on the axis of the shaft 1, is advantageous particularly in the swash-plate compressor of the type in which the flat web portion 165 is disposed inwardly of pistons.
  • the compressor also has a shaft seal device 21 which prevents internal fluids such as a refrigerant gas or a lubricating oil from leaking along the surface of the shaft 1.
  • the compressor further has discharge ports 24 which open to the working chambers 50 and 60, respectively, and communicate with discharge chambers 90 and 93, respectively.
  • the discharge ports 24 are adapted to be opened and closed by discharge valves 22 which are fixed together with valve retainers 23 to the front side plate 8 and the rear side plate 11, respectively, by means of bolts which are not shown.
  • the compressor further has suction ports 25 which provide communication between the working chambers 50 and a suction chamber 72 and between the working chambers 60 and a suction chamber 74. These suction ports are opened and closed by suction valves 9 and 12.
  • the compressor also has a solenoid valve 400 which is adapted to control the pressure in a control pressure chamber 200.
  • the solenoid valve 400 is controlled by a control circuit 500.
  • Fig. 4 diagrammatically shows the solenoid valve 400 and elements which are connected to the solenoid valve 400.
  • the solenoid valve 400 is connected at its one end to the suction chamber 74 on the rear side of the compressor through a low-pressure introduction passage 97.
  • the other end of the solenoid valve 400 is connected to the discharge chamber 93 through an orifice 99 and a high-pressure introduction passage 96 and also to the control pressure chamber 200 through a control pressure passage 98.
  • the valve member of the solenoid valve 400 When the solenoid coil of the solenoid valve 400 is not energized, the valve member of the solenoid valve 400 is set at a position indicated by 400a in Fig. 4 and the control pressure chamber 200 is connected to the discharge chamber 93 through the orifice 99.
  • the discharge chamber 90 on the front side of the compressor is communicated with a discharge port 92 through a discharge passage 91 formed in the cylinder block 5.
  • the discharge chamber 93 on the rear side of the compressor communicates with a discharge port 95 through a discharge passage 94 formed in the cylinder block 6.
  • the discharge ports 92 and 95 are connected to each other through an external line, so that an equal pressure is maintained in the discharge chambers 90 and 93.
  • the suction chamber 72 on the front side leads to a suction chamber 70 in a central portion of the housing through a suction passage 71.
  • the suction chamber 74 on the rear side of the compressor is connected to the suction chamber 70 via a suction passage 73.
  • Numerals 51, 52, 53, 54, 55 and 56 denote sealing "O" rings.
  • a compressor driving signal is input to the controller 500 so that the controller 500 delivers an electric signal to the control valve 400 so as to enable the control valve 400 to bring the low-pressure introduction passage 97 into communication with the control pressure passage 98 which also will be referred to as "signal pressure passage".
  • the solenoid valve 400 is switched to a indicated by 400b in Fig. 4, whereby the pressure in the suction chamber 74 is introduced into the control pressure chamber 200. In this state, there fore, there is no pressure differential across the spool 30, so that no load is applied through the support portion 107 in the direction for tilting the swash plate 10 when the compressor is started.
  • the shaft starts to rotate in this state so as to drive the swash plate 10 which in turn causes reciprocatory motions of the pistons 7.
  • volumes are periodically changed in the working chambers 50 and 60 whereby a refrigerant gas is sucked, compressed and discharged.
  • a force is produced due to the pressure differential between the rear working chamber 60 and the front working chamber 50 across each piston 7.
  • the force is transmitted through the pistons 7 and the associated shoes 18 and 19 to the swash plate 10.
  • the swash plate 10 is rockably supported by the spherical support portion 405 and is adapted to receive the torque from the shaft 1 through the pin 80, so that the force acting on the pistons 7 produces a moment which tends to decrease the angle of tilt of the swash plate 10.
  • the spherical support portion 405 and the spool 30 are moved to the right as shown in Fig. 6, thereby reducing the tilting angle of the swash plate 10. Since the movement of the swash plate 10 is limited by the engagement between the pin 80 and the elongated slot 166 in the shaft 1, the swash plate 10 decreases the angle of tilt thereof and at the same time, imparts to the spherical support portion 405 on the center of the swash plate 10 a force which acts rightwards as viewed in Fig. 6 thereby to move the spherical support portion 405 to the right.
  • the refrigerant gas which is sucked through a suction opening (not shown) connected to an evaporator of a refrigeration cycle, is introduced into the central suction chamber 70 and then introduced into the front and rear suction chambers 72 and 74 through the suction passages 71 and 73. Then, in suction strokes of pistons, the refrigerant is sucked into the working chambers 50 and 60 through the suction valves 9 and 12 and the suction ports 25.
  • the refrigerant gas sucked into the working chambers is then compressed as the pistons associated with these working chambers commence their compression strokes and, when the pressure of the compressed refrigerant gas reaches a predetermined level, it is discharged into the discharge chambers 90 and 93 through the discharge ports 24 while forcibly opening the discharge valves 22.
  • the refrigerant gas compressed to a high pressure is then discharged to a condenser (not shown) of the refrigeration cycle through the discharge passages 91 and 94 and via the discharge ports 92 and 95.
  • the front working chamber 50 on the front side of the compressor which also will be referred to as "first working chamber” has a larger dead volume so that the compression ratio in this chamber is smaller than that in the rear working chamber 60 on the rear side of the compressor.
  • the rear working chamber 60 also will be referred to as “second working chamber”. In this state, therefore, the pressure of the fefrigerant gas in the first working chamber 50 is lower than the pressure in the discharge chamber 90 which communicates with the second working chamber 60, so that suction and discharge of the refrigerant gas are materially not conducted in the first working chamber 50.
  • the displacement of the compressor is minimized when the compressor is started.
  • the solenoid valve 400 is switched to the state indicated by 400a so as to interrupt the communication between the control pressure passage 98 and the low-pressure introduction passage 97.
  • the control pressure chamber 200 is communicated with the high-pressure introduction passage 96 through the orifice 99. Therefore, the pressure in the control pressure chamber 200, now disconnected from the low-pressure introduction passage 97, is largely influenced by the discharge pressure transmitted through the high-pressure introduction passage 96. In consequence, the pressure in the control pressure chamber rises.
  • the force which is produced by the pressure differential between the control pressure chamber 200 and the suction chamber 74 and which acts on the spool 30 leftward as viewed in Fig. 6 is progressively increased as the compressor is rotated.
  • this leftward force is increased to exceed the aforementioned rightward force which acts on the spherical support portion 405 of the rear shaft 40
  • the spool 30 starts to move to the left as viewed in Fig. 1.
  • the center of rotation of the swash plate 10 i.e., the position of the spherical support portion 405
  • the angle of tilt is progressively increased, due to the interaction between the elongated slot 166 and the pin 80.
  • the spool 30 moves to the left until its shoulder portion 305 is engaged by the rear side plate 11, thus setting the compressor in the operating state for the maximum displacement as shown in Fig. 1.
  • the compressor When the compressor operates in the state shown in Fig. 1, the refrigerant gas sucked through the suction opening is introduced into the central suction chamber 70 and then into the suction chambers 72 and 74 through the suction passages 71 and 73. The refrigerant gas is then sucked into working chambers 50 and 60 through the suction ports 25 and past the suction valves 9 and 12. The thus sucked refrigerant gas is then compressed as the pistons commence their compression strokes and the compressed refrigerant gas is discharged through the discharge ports 24 and past the discharge valves 22 into the discharge chambers 90 and 93 from which the gas is discharged through the discahrge passage 91 and 94 and the discharge openings 92 and 95.
  • Fig. 7 is a diagram which shows, by a solid-line curve a , the relationship between the piston stroke and the compressor displacement as observed in a variable displacement swash-plate type compressor in accordance with the present invention.
  • a change in the tilting angle of the swash plate 10 shown in Fig. 1 causes not only a change in the stroke of the pistons 7 but also a change in the position of the center of the swash plate 10, so that there is no substantial increase in the dead volume due to the reduction in the piston stroke in the second working chamber 60.
  • the compressor displacement is progressively decreased in accordance with the reduction in the piston stroke, as shown by one-dot-and-dash line b in Fig. 7.
  • the dead volume is progressively increased in accordance with a reduction in the piston stroke, so that the compression ratio is decreased to cause a drastic reduction in the compressor displacement, as shown by a broken-line c shown in Fig. 7.
  • the maximum pressure (discharge pressure) in the front working chamber 50 becomes lower than the discharge pressure of the working chamber 60.
  • the front working chamber 50 does not contribute to suction and discharge of the refrigerant gas. Namely, the suction, compression and discharge of the refrigerant gas are effected solely by the rear working chamber 60.
  • the piston stroke is substantially proportional to the amount of movement of the spool 30. Representing the rightward travel end of the spool 30 in Fig. 1 by “0" the leftward travel end by “l”, the relationship between the amount of movement of the spool and the displacement of the compressor is shown in Fig. 7. It will be seen that the piston stroke L and the spool travel l meets the condition of L ⁇ l.
  • Fig. 7 the operation characteristic of the compressor in accordance with the present invention is shown by solid-line curve a which has sections a 1 and a 2 of different gradients. More specifically, when the spool 30 is in a position between l and e, the displacement changes as shown by the section a 1 which has a much greater gradient than a curve f representing a linear change in the compressor displacement. Thus, the controllability of the compressor in accordance with the invention is rather inferior when the spool 30 is in the region between l and e, as compared with the case where displacement is linearly changed in accordance with the movement of the spool as shown by the curve f.
  • the displacement varies along a curve a 2 which has a smaller gradient than the curve f, thus enabling the displacement to be controlled more delicately with a high degree of controllability. It will be seen that the compressor of the present invention exhibits superior controllability particularly in the region where the displacement is comparatively small.
  • the control circuit 500 shown in Fig. 4 operates to alternatingly switch the solenoid valve 400 between the positions shown by 400a and 400b thus effecting, for example, a duty ratio control, thereby progressively decreasing the internal pressure of the control pressure chamber 200 from the level of the discharge pressure, causing the spool 30 shown in Fig. 1 to be progressively moved to the right thereby decreasing the displacement.
  • the solenoid valve 400 shown in Fig. 4 is set in the position indicated by 400b so as to maintain the suction chamber 74 into communication with the control pressure chamber 200 thereby to reduce the pressure in the chamber 200 to the same level as the suction pressure, whereby the compressor is set for the minimum displacement as shown in Fig. 6.
  • the displacement of the compressor is controlled in accordance with the movement of the spool in the manner explained in connection with Fig. 7.
  • the spool 30 when the back pressure acting on the spool 30 is increased, the spool is moved in accordance with the rise in the back pressure as shown by a solid-line curve X-Y insofar as the back pressure is not higher than a predetermined level F2.
  • the axis of ordinate represents the amount of movement of the spool 30 which corresponds to the amount of change in the tilting angle of the swash plate 10 and also to the stroke of reciprocatory motion of the piston 7.
  • a symbol O represents a state in which the travel of the spool 30 is minimum so that the tilting angle of the swash plate 10 and, hence, the stroke of the pistons 7 are minimum.
  • the stroke of the pistons 7 is increased correspondingly, so that the thrust force which is used for moving the spool 30 is also increased as shown by a solid-line curve O-P in Fig. 9.
  • the force required for moving the spool 30 is not increased but decreased as shown by a solid-line curve P-Q in Fig. 9.
  • the region of operation corresponding to the solid-line curve P-Q is the region where the stroke of reciprocatory motions of the pistons 7 is to be controlled up to the maximum stroke, i.e., the region in which the displacement of the compressor is slightly less than the maximum displacement of the compressor.

  • the spool 30 When the back pressure acting on the spool 30 comes down below the level of the force F1, the spool 30 is immediately moved from the position represented by the point Q in Fig. 9 to the position indicated by the point R in the same figure.
  • the point R corresponds to the travel position P1 of the spool 30, which in turn corresponds to the point L in Fig. 8.
  • Fig. 9 The characteristic shown in Fig. 9 is attributable to the fact that, in the described swash-plate type compressor of the present invention, dead volume is generated only in the first working chamber 50 when the travel or amount of movement of the spool 30 is small. The operation will be described in more detail hereinunder with specific reference to Fig. 10.
  • Fig. 10 shows a relationship between the stroke of the pistons 7 and the internal pressure of the working chamber 50, i.e., the relationship between the internal volume and the internal pressure of the working chamber 50.
  • a solid-line curve A shows a state in which the piston has the maximum stroke, i.e., a state in which the compressor is set for operating with maximum displacement
  • a curve B in one-dot-and-dash line shows a state in which the tilting angle of the swash plate has been slightly decreased from the maximum angle to reduce the stroke of the pistons 7.
  • a predetermined dead volume is formed between each piston 7 and the side plate 8.
  • a curve D shown by two-dot-and-dash line shows a state in which the tilting angle of the swash plate 10 has been minimized to minimize the stroke of each piston 7 and, hence, maximize the dead volume.
  • the internal volume of the working chamber 50 is decreased as the piston 7 moves from the fully retracted position a so that the internal pressure of the working chamber 50 is increased as shown by a curve a-b-c.
  • the discharge valve 24 is opened to relieve the compressed gas so that the internal pressure of the working chamber 50 does not increase any more.
  • the pressure in the working chamber is maintained at the level of the predetermined discharge pressure P d , as shown by a straight line c-d-e.
  • the piston 7 then reaches the stroke end represented by e and then commences its backward stroke.
  • the suction port 25 is opened to cause the internal pressure of the working-chamber 50 to be reduced immediately down to the level of the suction pressure P s which is indicated by f in Fig. 10.
  • the piston then returns to the fully retracted position shown by a .
  • the pressure in the working chamber 50 changes following the curves a-c-e-f-a when the stroke of each piston is maximized.
  • each piston 7 moves along the two-dot-and-dash line curve D in Fig. 10.
  • the refrigerant gas is not sucked into nor discharged from the working chamber 50, so that the pressure in the working chamber 50 merely increased along the curve b-a and decreased along the curve b-a.
  • Fig. 11 is a graph showing a relationship between the pressure in the working chamber 50 and the cycle of reciprocation of the piston 7.
  • a solid-line curve A corresponds to the state shown by the solid-line curve A in Fig. 10. In this state, no dead space is formed on the end of each piston 7 so that the pressure in the working chamber 50 is lowered to the level of the suction pressure P s without delay after the commencement of backward stroke of the piston 7.
  • a one-dot-and-dash line curve B in Fig. 11 shows a state corresponding to the state represented by the one-dot-and-dash line curve B in Fig. 10.
  • a certain dead volume is formed in the working chamber 50 so that there is a residual pressure in the working chamber 50 due to the presence of the dead volume.
  • the pressure in the working chamber 50 is not lowered immediately to the level of the suction pressure after the piston 7 has commenced its backward stroke. More specifically, the pressure in the working chamber 50 is progressively decreased from the level of the discharge pressure P d to the level of the suction pressure P s .
  • a broken-line curve C in Fig. 11 corresponds to the state shown by the broken-line curve C in Fig. 10. In this state, the dead volume is so large that the pressure in the working chamber 50 varies along a sine wave curve and the pressure in the working chamber 50 is not lowered below the level of the suction pressure P s .
  • a curve D in two-dot-and-dash line in Fig. 11 corresponds to the state represented by the two-dot-and-dash line D in Fig. 10.
  • the pressure in the working chamber 50 changes along a sine wave curve, but neither suction nor discharge of the refrigerant gas is conducted as in the case of the state shown by the curve C.
  • the pressure variation in the working chamber is decreased and the maximum pressure in the working chamber 50 is decreased.
  • the region between the points P and Q in Fig. 9 corresponds to the region between the solid-line curve A and the broken-line curve C in Fig. 10.
  • the pressure in the working chamber 50 produces a force which acts to urge the piston 7 to the right as viewed in Fig. 1.
  • This rightward urging force acting on the piston 7, produced by the pressure in the first working chamber 50, serves to increase the tilting angle of the swash plate 50.
  • the tilting angle of the swash plate 10 is increased due to the residual pressure in the working chamber 50 to increase the stroke of reciprocatory motion of the piston 7.
  • the behavior of the piston 7 and the swash plate explained above is conducted in the region between the points P and Q in Fig. 9. In this region, the pressure remaining in the working chamber 50 is increased as the dead volume increases. In consequence, the thrust force required for urging the spool 30 to the left as viewed in Fig. 1 is increased as the dead volume is increased.
  • the control of the tilting motion of the swash plate 10 can be accomplished by the spool adapted to slide by a presssure differential across it, without necessitating any complicated and large-sized actuator such as a motor, thus enabling the swash-plate type compressor to have a reduced size and a compact construction.
  • the displacement is controlled by changing the tilting angle and axial position of the swash plate by controlling the internal pressure of the control pressure chamber 200.
  • the control of the internal pressure of the control pressure chamber 200 may be effected by means of such a pressure control valve 150 as is shown in Fig. 12.

  • a spool 1503 which also is constituted by a large-diameter portion and a small-diameter portion is slidably received in the cylinder 1501.
  • the small-diameter portion 1502 of the cylinder receives the small-diameter portion 1504 of the spool 1503.
  • a ball 1505 is fixed to the end of the small-diameter portion 1504.
  • a spring 1507 is placed between the spool 1503 and a stopper 1506 so as to urge the spool 1503 forwardly.

  • a port 1509 is provided on the small-diameter portion 1502 of the cylinder 1501 and adapted to be opened and closed by the ball 1505. This port 1509 is connected to the control pressure chamber 200 through a communication passage 98.
  • the suction pressure corresponding to the level of the cooling load on the refrigeration cycle is represented by P s (kg/cm abs).
  • P s kg/cm abs
  • the cooling load is generally large, so that the suction pressure in the suction chamber 74 is higher than the above-mentioned suction pressure P s .

  • the pressure in the control pressure chamber 200 is elevated to the level of the discharge pressure.
  • the state of the compressor is gradually changed towards the state of maximum displacement as in the case of the preceding embodiment.
  • the cooling load is decreased, so that the suction pressure in the suction chamber 74 is lowered to a level P s and then down to a level below P s .
  • the urging force produced by the spring 1507 becomes greater than the force produced by the suction pressure acting on the spool 1503, so that the spool 1503 is moved to the left as viewed in Fig. 12.
  • the ball 1505 is seated again on the valve seat around the port 1509, thereby interrupting the communication between the control pressure chamber 200 and the discharge chamber 93.
  • control pressure chamber 200 is brought into communication with the suction chamber 74 through the restriction orifice 1508, so that the pressure in the control pressure chamber 200 is gradually decreased to the level of the suction pressure, whereby the compressor becomes to operate with the minimum displacement as in the case of the first embodiment.
  • This operation is conducted repetitionally so that the pressure in the suction chamber 74 is maintained at around the command level P s , whereby the compressor displacement is controlled to match with the cooling load.
  • control valve 400 functions only to selectively connect and disconnect the control pressure passage 98 to and from the low-pressure introduction passage 97, while the high-pressure introduction passage 96 is always maintained in communication with the control pressure passage 98 thorugh the restriction orifice 99.

  • Such a modification can be accomplished or realized by a circuit which is shown in Fig. 13.

In a position indicated by 400D, however, the control pressure passage 96 is disconnected from other passages 97 and 98. In a position indicated by 400E, the control pressure passage 98 is communicated with the low-pressure introduction passage 97.
  • the control valve 400 is switched to the position 400C when it is necessary to elevate the pressure in the control pressure chamber 200, whereas, when it is required to reduce the pressure in the control pressure chamber 200, the control valve 400 is switched to the position 400E.
  • the level of the internal pressure in the control pressure chamber 200 can be maintained by switching the control valve 400 to the position 400D.
  • the leakage of the refrigerant from the discharge chamber 93 can be prevented because any continuous communication between the discharge chamber 93 and the control pressure chamber 200 is eliminated, to thereby ensure a higher discharge efficiency of the whole compressor.
  • Fig. 14 shows a different embodiment in which the control valve 400 is constituted by a three-way valve which is adapted for selectively changing over the high- and low-pressure introduction passages 96 and 97 and the control pressure passage 98.
  • the control valve 400 shown in Fig. 14 can take two positions: a first position 400F which enables the control pressure passage 98 to communicate with the high-pressure introduction passage 96 thorugh the restriction orifice 99 and a second position 400G which permits the control pressure passage 98 to communicate with the low-pressure introduction passage 97.

Therefore, the control passage 4015 is allowed to communicate with the low-pressure passage 4014 through the second valve seat 4019.
