Description

  The present invention relates to a variable displacement swash plate compressor.

  In general, a housing of a variable displacement swash plate compressor includes a cylinder block, a front housing connected to one end of the cylinder block, and a rear housing connected to the other end of the cylinder block. A suction chamber and a discharge chamber are formed in the rear housing. A rotating shaft is rotatably supported in the housing. A swash plate chamber is formed between the front housing and the cylinder block in the housing. The swash plate chamber accommodates a swash plate that rotates by obtaining a driving force from the rotary shaft and tiltable with respect to the direction of the rotary shaft. The swash plate is formed with an insertion hole through which the rotation shaft is inserted. The swash plate chamber is provided with a link mechanism that allows a change in the inclination angle of the swash plate with respect to the direction orthogonal to the rotation axis. In the cylinder block, a plurality of cylinder bores penetrating along the axial direction of the cylinder block and communicating with the suction chamber and the discharge chamber are formed around the rotation shaft. A piston is accommodated in each cylinder bore so as to be able to reciprocate. Each piston is anchored to the outer periphery of the swash plate via a pair of shoes. And the rotational motion of the swash plate accompanying rotation of a rotating shaft is converted into the reciprocating linear motion of a piston through a shoe.

  Here, in order to change the inclination angle of a swash plate, what equipped the actuator in the swash plate chamber is disclosed by patent document 1, for example. Such an actuator includes a partition provided on the rotation shaft, a moving body that moves in the rotation axis direction of the rotation shaft in the swash plate chamber, a control pressure chamber that is a partition chamber partitioned by the partition and the moving body, Have The swash plate chamber is a suction pressure region in which refrigerant gas is drawn from the external refrigerant circuit. The cylinder block is formed with a suction passage that communicates the swash plate chamber and the suction chamber.

  Further, a pressure adjusting chamber is provided in the housing. The pressure adjusting chamber and the discharge chamber communicate with each other through an air supply passage. An orifice is provided on the supply passage. Further, the pressure adjusting chamber and the suction chamber communicate with each other through an extraction passage. An electromagnetic control valve as a control mechanism is provided on the extraction passage. The control valve adjusts the opening degree of the extraction passage based on the pressure in the suction chamber. As a result, the flow rate of the refrigerant gas flowing through the extraction passage is adjusted, and the pressure in the pressure adjustment chamber is controlled. The rotary shaft is formed with a control passage that is formed in the shaft of the rotary shaft and communicates the pressure adjustment chamber and the control pressure chamber.

  Then, supply of refrigerant gas from the discharge chamber to the control pressure chamber via the air supply passage, pressure adjustment chamber and control passage, and discharge from the control pressure chamber to the suction chamber via the control passage, pressure adjustment chamber and extraction passage And the pressure in the control pressure chamber is changed. The moving body moves in the axial direction of the rotation axis with respect to the partition body in accordance with the differential pressure between the control pressure chamber and the swash plate chamber. As the moving body moves in the axial direction of the rotation shaft, the inclination angle of the swash plate is changed.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in Patent Document 1, a link mechanism 104 that allows a tilt angle of a swash plate 103 to be changed by moving a moving body 102 with respect to a partition 101 provided on a rotating shaft 100 is a lug arm 105. The first pin 106 and the second pin 107 are configured. One end side of the lug arm 105 is connected to the swash plate 103 by a first pin 106 and is supported so as to be swingable with respect to the swash plate 103 with the axis of the first pin 106 as a swing center. The other end side of the lug arm 105 is connected to the rotary shaft 100 by a second pin 107 and is supported so as to be swingable with respect to the rotary shaft 100 with the axis of the second pin 107 as a swing center.

  The moving body 102 is provided with a connecting portion 102a that protrudes toward the swash plate 103 side. A moving body side insertion hole 102b through which the third pin 108 can be inserted is formed in the connecting portion 102a. In addition, a swash plate side insertion hole 103 a through which the third pin 108 can be inserted is formed on the swash plate 103 on the opposite side of the rotation shaft 100 from the first pin 106. The connecting portion 102 a is connected to the opposite side of the first pin 106 with the third pin 108 sandwiching the rotation shaft 100 in the swash plate 103. The third pin 108 is constrained with respect to the connecting portion 102a by being press-fitted into the movable body side insertion hole 102b, and is slidably held in the swash plate side insertion hole 103a.

  A return spring 110 a is fixed to the flange portion 100 f of the rotating shaft 100. The return spring 110 a extends from the flange portion 100 f toward the swash plate 103. Further, an inclination angle reducing spring 110 b is interposed between the partition body 101 and the swash plate 103. One end of the inclination reduction spring 110 b is fixed to the partition body 101, and the other end is fixed to the swash plate 103. The inclination-decreasing spring 110b urges the swash plate 103 in a direction in which the inclination angle of the swash plate 103 decreases.

  Further, the swash plate 103 is provided with a fourth pin 109. The fourth pin 109 is disposed on the opposite side of the third pin 108 with the rotation shaft 100 interposed therebetween. A guide surface 100 a is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 100 to guide the fourth pin 109 while sliding following the change in the inclination angle of the swash plate 103. The swash plate 103 is supported by the rotating shaft 100 via the link mechanism 104, the moving body 102, and the fourth pin 109, and the inclination angle of the swash plate 103 with respect to the rotating shaft 100 is defined. In such a configuration, when the tilt angle of the swash plate 103 is changed, the third pin 108 interferes with the swash plate 103, and the tilt of the swash plate 103 in the axial direction with respect to the rotation shaft 100 is caused. It is suppressed that it will not be performed, and the inclination angle of the swash plate 103 is changed smoothly.

Japanese Patent No. 5998863

  However, as in Patent Document 1, the swash plate 103 is supported by the rotary shaft 100 via the link mechanism 104, the moving body 102, and the fourth pin 109, and the tilt angle of the swash plate 103 with respect to the rotary shaft 100 is defined. In the configuration, when receiving vibration from the outside, the fourth pin 109 rattles against the guide surface 100a of the rotating shaft 100. When the fourth pin 109 rattles against the guide surface 100a, the swash plate 103 rattles against the rotation shaft 100. In particular, when the rotation shaft 100 is not rotated and the inclination angle of the swash plate 103 is an inclination angle that balances the swash plate 103 and the return spring 110a from the minimum inclination angle, the swash plate 103 has a backlash with respect to the rotation shaft 100. When the swash plate 103 is shaken with respect to the rotary shaft 100, the outer peripheral surface of the swash plate 103 may come into contact with the piston.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and its object is to prevent the swash plate from rattling against the rotation shaft and the outer peripheral surface of the swash plate from contacting the piston. It is an object of the present invention to provide a variable capacity swash plate type compressor.

  A variable capacity swash plate compressor that solves the above problems includes a housing having a cylinder block in which a plurality of cylinder bores are formed, a rotating shaft that is rotatably supported by the housing, and an insertion hole through which the rotating shaft is inserted. And a swash plate that is rotated by obtaining a driving force from the rotary shaft and can be tilted with respect to the rotational axis direction of the rotary shaft, a swash plate chamber in which the swash plate is accommodated, and reciprocating in the cylinder bore A piston that is housed in the swash plate, a link mechanism that allows a change in the tilt angle of the swash plate with respect to a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis, and an actuator that can change the tilt angle of the swash plate. The actuator is partitioned by a partition body provided on the rotation shaft, a movable body movable in the direction of the rotation axis, the partition body and the mobile body, and A partition chamber for moving the movable body by differential pressure, and the link mechanism includes a lug arm, a first pin that supports one end of the lug arm so as to be swingable with respect to the swash plate, and the lug arm. A second pin that supports the end side so as to be swingable with respect to the rotating shaft, and a third pin that connects the movable body and the swash plate on the opposite side of the first pin across the rotating shaft; A movable body side insertion hole provided in the movable body and through which the third pin is inserted; and a swash plate side insertion hole provided in the swash plate and through which the third pin is inserted. The pin is slidably held in either the moving body side insertion hole or the swash plate side insertion hole, and is provided on the swash plate and opposite to the third pin across the rotation shaft And a fourth pin that slides on the rotating shaft. And a guide surface that is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft and guides the fourth pin, and the swash plate is configured to be connected to the rotating shaft via the link mechanism, the movable body, and the fourth pin. And a control mechanism that controls a differential pressure between the inside and the outside of the compartment, and is controlled by the control mechanism between the inside and the outside of the compartment. By controlling the differential pressure, the tilt angle of the swash plate is changed as the movable body moves in the rotational axis direction, and the piston reciprocates with a stroke corresponding to the tilt angle of the swash plate. In the capacity type swash plate compressor, an inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole may be in contact with an outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft at a portion opposite to the fourth pin across the rotating shaft. The lug arm has a front end when the inclination angle of the swash plate is a minimum inclination angle. A gap between the outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft and the abutting portion when the tilt angle of the swash plate is a minimum tilt angle, and has an opposing surface facing the outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft in the radial direction of the rotary shaft; At least one of the gaps between the outer circumferential surface of the rotating shaft and the facing surface is smaller than the gap between the outer circumferential surface of the swash plate and the piston.

  According to this, when the inclination angle of the swash plate is the minimum inclination angle, even if the fourth pin rattles against the guide surface of the rotation shaft, Before the outer peripheral surface of the swash plate comes into contact with the piston, at least one of contact between the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft and the contact portion and contact between the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft and the facing surface is made. Therefore, it can suppress that a swash plate shakes with respect to a rotating shaft and the outer peripheral surface of a swash plate contacts a piston.

  In the variable capacity swash plate type compressor, when the inclination angle of the swash plate is changed between a minimum inclination angle and a maximum inclination angle, a gap between the outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft and the contact portion becomes the swash plate. It is preferable that the shape of the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft is set so that it is always smaller than the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft and the piston.

  According to this, when the tilt angle of the swash plate is changed between the minimum tilt angle and the maximum tilt angle, the fourth pin rattles with respect to the guide surface of the rotation shaft, and with respect to the rotation shaft of the swash plate. Even if the rattling occurs, it is possible to suppress the outer peripheral surface of the swash plate from coming into contact with the piston.

In the variable displacement swash plate compressor, the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft and the contact portion may be always constant.
According to this, when the tilt angle of the swash plate is changed between the minimum tilt angle and the maximum tilt angle, the fourth pin rattles with respect to the guide surface of the rotation shaft, and with respect to the rotation shaft of the swash plate. Even if shakiness occurs, it is possible to easily prevent the outer peripheral surface of the swash plate from coming into contact with the piston.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the swash plate from rattling against the rotation axis and the outer peripheral surface of the swash plate from contacting the piston.

The fourth pin 44 is rotatably supported by the swash plate 23.

  A guide surface 45 that guides the fourth pin 44 is formed in a portion of the outer peripheral surface 21 c of the rotating shaft 21 that faces the fourth pin 44. The fourth pin 44 is guided to the guide surface 45 while following the change in the inclination angle of the swash plate 23. The guide surface 45 is a groove that is recessed in the rotating shaft 21. The guide surface 45 includes an inclined surface 45 a that is inclined with respect to the rotation axis L of the rotation shaft 21, and a flat surface 45 b that is continuous with the inclined surface 45 a and extends in the rotation axis direction of the rotation shaft 21. The flat surface 45b is disposed closer to the actuator 30 than the inclined surface 45a. The inclined surface 45a extends so as to approach the rotation axis L of the rotation shaft 21 as the distance from the flat surface 45b increases. The fourth pin 44 is in contact with the guide surface 45, thereby supporting the swash plate 23 with respect to the rotation shaft 21. The swash plate 23 is supported by the rotating shaft 21 via the link mechanism, the moving body 32, and the fourth pin 44 configured as described above, and the tilt angle of the swash plate 23 with respect to the rotating shaft 21 is defined.

  When the valve opening of the control valve 36s is increased, the refrigerant discharged from the control pressure chamber 35 to the suction chamber 15a through the second shaft inner passage 29b, the first shaft inner passage 29a, the pressure adjusting chamber 15c, and the extraction passage 36. The gas flow rate increases. As a result, the pressure in the pressure adjusting chamber 15c is substantially equal to the pressure in the suction chamber 15a, and the pressure in the control pressure chamber 35 is also substantially equal to the pressure in the suction chamber 15a. Therefore, when the differential pressure between the control pressure chamber 35 and the swash plate chamber 24 is reduced, the swash plate 23 is moved through the third pin 43 by the compression reaction force from the double-headed piston 25 acting on the swash plate 23. The moving body 32 moves so that the bottom 32a of the moving body 32 approaches the partition body 31.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the moving body 32 moves so that the bottom 32a of the moving body 32 approaches the partition body 31, the swash plate 23 swings around the first swing center M1. As the swash plate 23 swings around the first swing center M1, the lug arm 40 swings around the second swing center M2, and the lug arm 40 approaches the flange portion 21g. Thereby, the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 becomes small. When the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is reduced, the stroke of the double-headed piston 25 is reduced and the discharge capacity is reduced. When the lug arm 40 abuts on the flange portion 21g, the lug arm 40 is restricted from further swinging around the second swing center M2, and the tilt angle of the swash plate 23 is maintained at the minimum tilt angle.

  On the other hand, when the valve opening of the control valve 36s is decreased, the control pressure chamber 35 is discharged from the control pressure chamber 35 to the suction chamber 15a via the second shaft passage 29b, the first shaft passage 29a, the pressure adjustment chamber 15c, and the extraction passage 36. The flow rate of refrigerant gas is reduced. The refrigerant gas is supplied from the discharge chamber 15b to the control pressure chamber 35 via the air supply passage 37, the pressure adjustment chamber 15c, the first in-shaft passage 29a, and the second in-shaft passage 29b, thereby controlling the control pressure. The pressure in the chamber 35 is substantially equal to the pressure in the discharge chamber 15b. Therefore, the differential pressure between the control pressure chamber 35 and the swash plate chamber 24 increases, so that the moving body 32 pulls the swash plate 23 via the third pin 43, while the bottom 32 a of the moving body 32 is separated from the partition body 31. Move away.

  As shown in FIG. 2, when the moving body 32 moves so that the bottom 32 a of the moving body 32 is separated from the partition body 31, the swash plate 23 moves around the first swing center M <b> 1 when the tilt angle of the swash plate 23 is decreased. It swings in the direction opposite to the swing direction. As the swash plate 23 swings in the direction opposite to the swing direction when the tilt angle of the swash plate 23 decreases, the lug arm 40 moves around the second swing center M2 around the first swing center M1. 23 swings in the direction opposite to the swinging direction when the tilt angle is decreased, and the lug arm 40 is separated from the flange portion 21g. Thereby, the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is increased, the stroke of the double-headed piston 25 is increased, and the discharge capacity is increased. When the moving body 32 abuts on the flange portion 21f, the moving body 32 is restricted from moving further, and the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is maintained at the maximum inclination angle.

  Thus, the variable displacement swash plate compressor 10 is controlled by controlling the pressure in the discharge chamber 15b introduced into the pressure adjustment chamber 15c and the pressure in the suction chamber 15a derived from the pressure adjustment chamber 15c by the control valve 36s. The pressure in the control pressure chamber 35 is controlled. Then, along with the differential pressure between the control pressure chamber 35 and the swash plate chamber 24, the moving body 32 moves in the rotation axis direction of the rotation shaft 21 with respect to the partition body 31. Therefore, the control pressure chamber 35 moves the moving body 32 by the differential pressure between the inside and the outside. The control valve 36s is a control mechanism that controls the differential pressure between the inside and outside of the control pressure chamber 35. The refrigerant gas supplied to the control pressure chamber 35 is a control gas used for performing movement control of the moving body 32. Then, the differential pressure between the inside and outside of the control pressure chamber 35 is controlled by the control valve 36s, whereby the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is changed as the moving body 32 moves in the direction of the rotation axis. Thus, the double-headed piston 25 reciprocates with a stroke corresponding to the inclination angle of the swash plate 23.

  A portion of the inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole 23a opposite to the fourth pin 44 across the rotation shaft 21 is provided with a first extending surface 51 extending in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the swash plate 23, and A second extending surface 52 extending in a direction oblique to the extending direction of the first extending surface 51. The connecting portion between the first extending surface 51 and the second extending surface 52 is angular, and this angular portion is an abutting portion 53 that can abut on the outer peripheral surface 21 c of the rotating shaft 21. Therefore, the inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole 23a has a contact portion 53 that can contact the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotary shaft 21 at a portion opposite to the fourth pin 44 with the rotary shaft 21 therebetween. .

  As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, when the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is changed between the minimum inclination angle and the maximum inclination angle, the gap C <b> 1 between the outer peripheral surface 21 c of the rotating shaft 21 and the contact portion 53. However, the shape of the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 is set so as to be always smaller than the gap C3 between the outer peripheral surface 23c of the swash plate 23 and the shoe accommodating recess 25a of the double-headed piston 25. As the tilt angle of the swash plate 23 changes, the portion of the outer peripheral surface 21 c of the rotating shaft 21 that faces the contact portion 53 follows the locus of the contact portion 53 that moves as the tilt angle of the swash plate 23 changes. It consists of a free curve that extends. In the present embodiment, when the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is changed between the minimum inclination angle and the maximum inclination angle, the gap C1 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 and the contact portion 53 is always constant.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the lug arm 40 has a facing surface 40 a that faces the outer peripheral surface 21 c of the rotating shaft 21 in the radial direction of the rotating shaft 21 when the tilt angle of the swash plate 23 is the minimum tilt angle. The facing surface 40a is located on the opposite side of the contact portion 53 with the rotating shaft 21 in between. The contact portion 53 extends along the outer peripheral surface 21 c of the rotating shaft 21 when the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is the minimum inclination angle. When the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is the minimum inclination angle, the gap C2 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 and the facing surface 40a is smaller than the gap C3 between the outer peripheral surface 23c of the swash plate 23 and the shoe housing recess 25a. In the present embodiment, the gap C2 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 and the facing surface 40a is smaller than the gap C1 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 and the contact portion 53.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
In the configuration in which the swash plate 23 is supported by the rotary shaft 21 via the link mechanism, the moving body 32, and the fourth pin 44, and the tilt angle of the swash plate 23 with respect to the rotary shaft 21 is defined, the variable capacity type swash plate 23 is provided. When the plate compressor 10 receives vibration from the outside, the fourth pin 44 rattles against the guide surface 45 of the rotating shaft 21. When the fourth pin 44 rattles with respect to the guide surface 45, the swash plate 23 rattles with respect to the rotation shaft 21. In particular, when the rotation shaft 21 is not rotated and the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is an inclination angle that balances the swash plate 23 and the return spring 28a from the minimum inclination angle as shown in FIG. The backlash with respect to 21 becomes remarkable, and the swash plate 23 becomes easy to play with respect to the rotating shaft 21.

  When the fourth pin 44 moves away from the guide surface 45, the swash plate 23 also moves in a direction in which the fourth pin 44 moves away from the guide surface 45. As the swash plate 23 moves, the lug arm 40 swings second. It swings around the center M2 in the swinging direction when the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is decreased. At this time, the gap C2 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 and the opposing surface 40a is smaller than the gap C3 between the outer peripheral surface 23c of the swash plate 23 and the shoe receiving recess 25a, so the outer peripheral surface 23c of the swash plate 23 is Before contacting the housing recess 25a, the facing surface 40a contacts the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, when the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is larger than the minimum inclination angle, the variable displacement swash plate compressor 10 receives vibration from the outside, and the fourth pin 44 moves the guide surface 45. Suppose you are wobbling against. At this time, since the lug arm 40 is swung around the second swing center M2 in the direction opposite to the swing direction when the tilt angle of the swash plate 23 is decreased, the opposing surface 40a has the minimum tilt angle of the swash plate 23. Compared to the case, it is separated from the outer peripheral surface 21 c of the rotating shaft 21.

  When the fourth pin 44 rattles against the guide surface 45 and the fourth pin 44 moves away from the guide surface 45, the swash plate 23 also moves in a direction in which the fourth pin 44 moves away from the guide surface 45. At this time, when the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is changed between the minimum inclination angle and the maximum inclination angle, the gap C1 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 and the contact portion 53 is separated from the outer peripheral surface 23c of the swash plate 23. It is always smaller than the gap C3 between the double-headed piston 25 and the shoe housing recess 25a. Therefore, the contact portion 53 contacts the outer peripheral surface 21 c of the rotating shaft 21 before the outer peripheral surface 23 c of the swash plate 23 contacts the shoe housing recess 25 a.

In the above embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) When the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is the minimum inclination angle, the gap C2 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 and the opposing surface 40a is formed between the outer peripheral surface 23c of the swash plate 23 and the shoe housing recess 25a of the double-headed piston 25. It is smaller than the gap C3. According to this, when the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is the minimum inclination angle, the fourth pin 44 rattles with respect to the guide surface 45 of the rotation shaft 21 and rattling with respect to the rotation shaft 21 in the swash plate 23. Even if this occurs, before the outer peripheral surface 23c of the swash plate 23 contacts the shoe receiving recess 25a, the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 and the opposing surface 40a are brought into contact with each other. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the swash plate 23 from rattling against the rotary shaft 21 and the outer peripheral surface 23 c of the swash plate 23 from contacting the double-headed piston 25.

  (2) When the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is changed between the minimum inclination angle and the maximum inclination angle, the gap C1 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 and the contact portion 53 is separated from the outer peripheral surface 23c of the swash plate 23. The shape of the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 is set so as to be always smaller than the gap C3 with the shoe housing recess 25a. According to this, when the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is changed between the minimum inclination angle and the maximum inclination angle, the fourth pin 44 rattles with respect to the guide surface 45 of the rotating shaft 21, so Even if shakiness with respect to the rotating shaft 21 occurs, it is possible to prevent the outer peripheral surface 23c of the swash plate 23 from coming into contact with the double-headed piston 25.

  (3) When the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is changed between the minimum inclination angle and the maximum inclination angle, the gap C1 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 and the contact portion 53 is always constant. According to this, when the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is changed between the minimum inclination angle and the maximum inclination angle, the fourth pin 44 rattles with respect to the guide surface 45 of the rotating shaft 21, so Even if shakiness with respect to the rotating shaft 21 occurs, it is possible to easily prevent the outer peripheral surface 23c of the swash plate 23 from coming into contact with the double-headed piston 25.

  (4) Even when the variable displacement swash plate compressor 10 receives vibration from the outside, the outer peripheral surface 23c of the swash plate 23 can be prevented from coming into contact with the double-headed piston 25. The reliability of the piston 25 is improved.

  (5) According to this embodiment, in order to avoid the outer peripheral surface 23c of the swash plate 23 coming into contact with the double-headed piston 25 when the variable displacement swash plate compressor 10 receives vibration from the outside. The gap C3 between the outer peripheral surface 23c of the swash plate 23 and the shoe receiving recess 25a of the double-headed piston 25 need not be designed large in advance. Therefore, it can suppress that the physique of the variable capacity type | mold swash plate type compressor 10 enlarges.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
In the embodiment, when the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is the minimum inclination angle, the gap C2 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotary shaft 21 and the facing surface 40a is the gap C1 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotary shaft 21 and the contact portion 53. May be larger. In this case, when the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is the minimum inclination angle, when the swash plate 23 rattles with respect to the rotation shaft 21 and the fourth pin 44 moves away from the guide surface 45, the swash plate 23 also has the fourth pin 44. Moves in a direction away from the guide surface 45, and the contact portion 53 contacts the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotary shaft 21 before the outer peripheral surface 23c of the swash plate 23 contacts the shoe housing recess 25a.

  In the embodiment, when the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is the minimum inclination angle, the clearance C2 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 and the facing surface 40a, and the clearance C1 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 and the contact portion 53. And may have the same dimensions. In short, when the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is the minimum inclination angle, at least the clearance C1 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 and the contact portion 53 and the clearance C2 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 and the opposing surface 40a. One should just be smaller than the clearance C3 between the outer peripheral surface 23c of the swash plate 23 and the shoe accommodating recess 25a of the double-ended piston 25.

  In the embodiment, when the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is changed between the minimum inclination angle and the maximum inclination angle, the gap C1 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 and the contact portion 53 is not always constant. When the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is changed between the minimum inclination angle and the maximum inclination angle, the dimension of the gap C1 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 and the contact portion 53 may vary. Even in this case, when the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is changed between the minimum inclination angle and the maximum inclination angle, the gap C1 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 and the contact portion 53 is not reduced. It is preferably always smaller than the gap C3 between the outer peripheral surface 23c and the shoe housing recess 25a of the double-ended piston 25.

  In the embodiment, when the inclination angle of the swash plate 23 is changed between the minimum inclination angle and the maximum inclination angle, the clearance C1 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 and the contact portion 53 is set to the outer peripheral surface of the swash plate 23. It is not always necessary to be smaller than the gap C3 between 23c and the shoe housing recess 25a. For example, when the swash plate 23 has a predetermined inclination angle, the gap C1 between the outer peripheral surface 21c of the rotating shaft 21 and the contact portion 53 is larger than the gap C3 between the outer peripheral surface 23c of the swash plate 23 and the shoe housing recess 25a. It may be.

  In the embodiment, the moving body side insertion hole 32 h may have a long hole shape extending in the extending direction of the swash plate 23.
