Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a double-headed piston type swash plate compressor.
  • a double-headed piston type swash plate compressor includes a cylinder block, a front housing member coupled to the front end of the cylinder block, and a rear housing member coupled to the rear end of the cylinder block.
  • the cylinder block defines a swash plate chamber, and the swash plate chamber accommodates a swash plate that rotates together with a rotary shaft.
  • To the swash plate are engaged double-headed pistons.
  • the cylinder block defines cylinder bores, which accommodate the double-headed pistons.
  • Each double-headed piston reciprocates in the corresponding cylinder bore in accordance with rotation of the swash plate.
  • the double-headed piston divides the inside of the cylinder bore into a first compression chamber on the front end and a second compression chamber on the rear end.
  • refrigerant is drawn into the first compression chambers and the second compression chambers to be compressed, and the compressed refrigerant is discharged into a first discharge chamber formed in the front housing member and a second discharge chamber formed in the rear housing member.
  • Structures for drawing refrigerant into the first compression chambers and the second compression chambers include the structure employed by the compressor disclosed in, for example, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 5-133325.
  • the compressor of the publication includes a first suction chamber in the front housing member and a second suction chamber in the rear housing member.
  • the cylinder block includes a suction passage that connects the swash plate chamber to the first suction chamber and a suction passage that connects the swash plate chamber to the second suction chamber.
  • Refrigerant is introduced into the swash plate chamber, and the refrigerant that has been introduced to the swash plate chamber is supplied to the first suction chamber and the second suction chamber through the corresponding suction passage.
  • the pressure in each cylinder bore is reduced and a suction reed valve opens, the refrigerant is drawn from the first suction chamber into the associated first compression chamber or from the second suction chamber into the associated second compression chamber.
  • the refrigerant presses open the suction reed valves to be drawn from the first suction chamber and the second suction chamber into the first compression chambers and the second compression chambers.
  • suction loss of refrigerant occurs when the refrigerant presses open the suction reed valves. This consequently reduces the compression efficiency.
  • the refrigerant introduced into the swash plate chamber is heated by the heat generated in sliding parts such as the swash plate and the rotary shaft.
  • the compressor disclosed in, for example, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2004-278460 includes a suction chamber only in the rear housing member and has an axial passage formed in the rotary shaft to be connected to the suction chamber.
  • the rotary shaft includes a first rotary valve corresponding to the first compression chambers and a second rotary valve corresponding to the second compression chambers. Each rotary valve is selectively opened and closed in accordance with rotation of the rotary shaft. This draws the refrigerant, which is introduced from the suction chamber into the axial passage, into the compression chambers through the rotary valves.
  • 2004-278460 eliminates the suction loss of the refrigerant that occurs by pressing open the suction reed valves and has favorable compression efficiency. In addition, since the refrigerant is not introduced into the swash plate chamber, the refrigerant is prevented from being heated by the heat generated in the sliding parts such as the swash plate and the rotary shaft.
  • the compressor of Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2004-278460 does not introduce the refrigerant into a relatively large space like the swash plate chamber.
  • suction pulsation of refrigerant tends to occur during suction strokes.
  • the dimensional restriction of the double-headed piston type swash plate compressor restricts increase in the size of the suction chamber formed in the rear housing member like the structure in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2004-278460.
  • the suction pulsation of the refrigerant is relatively great in the compressor of Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2004-278460.
  • a double-headed piston type swash plate compressor that includes a housing defining a swash plate chamber.
  • the housing includes a cylinder block, a front housing member coupled to a front end of the cylinder block, and a rear housing member coupled to a rear end of the cylinder block.

  • the rear housing member includes a protrusion provided in the suction chamber and protruding toward the opening of the axial passage.
