Abstract
[Problem to be Solved]
To improve the adhesion resistance of a swash plate in a swash plate type compressor.
[Means to Solve the Problem]

hole 3 d with its both ends slidable in the circular through-holes hole 10 a with its both ends slidable in the circular through-holes link mechanism 13 is constituted by the rotor arm 2 a, theswash plate arm 3 c, the linkingarm 10 and the pins 11 and 12. Thelink mechanism 13 links therotor 2 and theswash plate 3 with each other while making the inclination angle of theswash plate 3 variable and not rotatable around thedrive shaft 1. - In the swash
plate type compressor 100, an external driving source rotates thedrive shaft 1, rotation of thedrive shaft 1 rotates theswash plate 3, and rotation of theswash plate 3 reciprocates thepiston 5 via theshoes 4. A refrigerant gas reflows from the external refrigerant system and flows into thecompressor 100 through the inlet port into theinlet chamber 14. Then, the refrigerant gas is introduced into the cylinder bore 6 a through the inlet hole and the inlet valve formed in thevalve plate 9, followed by being compressed under pressure by thepiston 5. After that, the refrigerant gas is discharged through the outlet hole and the outlet valve formed in thevalve plate 9 into the outlet chamber to return to the external refrigerant system via the outlet port. Note that the inclination angle of theswash plate 3 is controlled by a control system not shown by controlling a pressure difference between the pressures in theinlet chamber 14 and the crank chamber 15 by a pressure difference control valve in accordance with the thermal load on the air conditioner. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , the lubrication film 3 e as the cured lubricous coating paint is formed on a sliding portion of theswash plate substrate 3 a against eachshoe 4. Regarding formation of the lubrication film 3 e, the lubricous coating paint having composition for lubrication film composed of a binder resin containing 100% by weight of polyamideimide resin and 2 to 18% by weight of bisphenol-A epoxy resin and a solid lubricant including polytetrafluoroethylene (hereinafter referred to as PTFE) and graphite is first coated on a surface of theswash plate substrate 3 a to be a sliding portion, in the amount making a film thickness after drying 35 to 70 micron-meters, followed by curing at 180 to 270° C. for 15 to 80 minutes. Then, the cured film is ground by a grinder to adjust surface roughness in Ra to be 0.6 to 1.6 micron-meters. Although an iron-based, copper-based or aluminum-based substrate may be used as theswash plate substrate 3 a, an iron-based substrate is used in general. - The maximum adhesion resistance (time for adhesion) of the
swash plate 3 provided with the lubrication film 3 e relates to the content of bisphenol-A epoxy resin against polyamideimide resin. The adhesion resistance is the maximum if bisphenol-A epoxy resin content is approximately 5 parts by weight against 100 parts by weight of polyamideimide resin. Bisphenol-A epoxy resin content of less than 2 parts by weight is not so different from the composition excluding bisphenol-A epoxy resin. Further, bisphenol-A epoxy resin content of exceeding 18 parts by weight makes the adhesion resistance equivalent to or less than the composition excluding bisphenol-A epoxy resin. - The
swash plate substrate 3 a is subjected to a degreasing treatment before coating the lubricous coating paint. After the degreasing treatment, theswash plate substrate 3 a is preferable to be subjected to a roughening treatment by shot blasting to adjust the surface roughness of the substrate in Rzjis to be 8.0 to 13.0 micron-meters. Maximum adhesion resistance (load at adhesion) has a relationship if the surface roughness of the swash plate substrate is in the range. If the surface roughness in Rzjis is less than 8.0 micron-meters, the load at adhesion decrease, and if the surface roughness in Rzjis exceeds 13.0 micron-meters, the lubrication film 3 e may be worn away in a projected portion of the rough surface to expose the base metal of theswash plate substrate 3 a, and makes it tends to adhere. - Regarding the solid lubricant used, preferable average particle size of PTFE is 1 to 15 micron-meters, and preferable average particle size of graphite is 1 to 10 micron-meters. PTFE lowers the friction coefficient of the lubrication film under high-speed sliding conditions to prevent wear and ablation of the film surface. Although, the friction coefficient is made low with the increased content of PTFE, too large content of PTFE decreases the shear strength of the lubrication film to easily generate inter-layer separation. So, content of PTFE is preferable to be 40 to 70 parts by weight and is more preferable to be 50 to 60 parts by weight against 100 parts by weight of the binder resin. Although graphite increases the load resistance of the lubrication film, increased content of graphite increases the friction coefficient. So, the content of graphite is preferable to be 1 to 20 parts by weight and is more preferable to be 5 to 15 parts by weight against 100 parts by weight of the binder resin.
- The lubricous coating paint may be prepared by kneading to disperse a composition including polyamideimide resin, bisphenol-A epoxy resin, PTFE and graphite in prescribed ratio in a proper amount of organic solvent (such as a mixed solvent of N-methylolpyrrolidone as a main component and xylene) by using a ball mill, a bead mill, a triple roller mill or a planetary mill. As the organic solvent, a high-boiling point polar solvent good in dissolubility of the binder resin, such as N-methylpyrrolidone, 2-pyrrolidone, methylisopyrrolidone, dimethylformamide, or dimethylacetamide; an aromatic solvent such as toluene or xylene; a ketone such as acetone or methyl ethyl ketone; an ester such as methyl acetate or ethyl acetate; or a mixed solvent of any of these is used in general.
- Following examinations were carried out to investigate the influence of the content of bisphenol-A epoxy resin in the binder resin on the adhesion resistance. The lubricous coating paint having compositions shown in Table 1 were prepared as the composition for film formation. Further, the swash plate substrates made of steel were subjected to the degreasing treatment, followed by shot blasting for roughening the surface and adjust the surface roughness in Rzjis to be 9.0 micron-meters. The lubricous coating paints were applied on the surface of the swash plate substrates to make the dried film thickness of 60 micron-meters followed by by heating at 230° C. for 30 minutes for curing. Then, the cured coating films were ground by a grinder to smoothen the surface to finish a lubrication films having surface roughness in Ra of 0.8 micron-meters. The average particle size of a used PTFE particle was 10 micron-meters, and the average particle size of graphite was 4 to 5 micron-meters.
- Each of the swash plate substrates provided with the lubrication films were subjected to the sliding performance test under the test conditions described below:
-
Test condition 1 - Test machine: Rotary friction wear test machine
- Lubrication: Dry lubrication
- Load: 8.8 MPa
- Speed: 2000 rpm
- Counter shaft: SUJ2 (in the shoe shape)
- The test results are as follows:

(manufactured by DIC Corporation) PTFE: Polytetrafluoroethylene KTL-10N (manufactured by KITAMURA LIMITED) Gr: Graphite CSSP (manufactured by Nippon Graphite Industries, Co., Ltd.) - In the test results shown above, the time for adhesion is the longest if the content of bisphenol-A epoxy resin is 5 parts by weight against 100 parts by weight of polyamideimide resin, and if the content is 2 to 18 parts by weight, the time for adhesion is longer than the composition excluding bisphenol-A epoxy resin. If the content is less than 2 parts by weight or exceeding 18 parts by weight, however, the time for adhesion is equivalent to or less than the composition excluding bisphenol-A epoxy resin. In contrast, if the content of PTFE is 50 to 60 parts by weight and content of graphite is 5 to 15 parts by weight against 100 parts by weight of polyamideimide resin, good adhesion resistance is achieved. If the content of PTFE is less than 40 parts by weight or exceeding 70 parts by weight, or if the content of graphite is less than 1 part by weight or exceeding 20 parts by weight, the time for adhesion is short.
- Next, the following examination was carried out to investigate the influence of the surface roughness of a swash plate substrate on the load at adhesion. A plurality of swash plate substrates whose surface roughness were adjusted to as shown in Table 2 by shot blasting were prepared. A lubrication film was formed on these swash plate substrates by the same manner as in the examples described above. A lubricous coating paint having a composition of 100 parts by weight of polyamideimide resin, 5 parts by weight of bisphenol-A epoxy resin, 50 parts by weight of PTFE and 5 parts by weight of graphite was used.
- The swash plate substrates provided with the lubrication films were subjected to the sliding performance test under the test conditions described below:
-
Test conditions 2 - Test machine: Rotary friction abrasion test machine
- Lubrication: Semi-dry lubrication (a refrigerating oil was supplied onto a sliding surface at 0.4 g/100 sec)
- Load: 0.2 MPa/60 sec (gradually increased) in load range of 0.5 to 12 MPa
- Speed: 3500 rpm
- Counter shaft: SUJ2 (in the shoe shape)
- Test results are as follows:
-

If the surface roughness in Rzjis is less than 8.0 micron-meters or exceeding 13.0 micron-meters, the load at adhesion is smaller than that achieved if the surface roughness in Rzjis is 8.0 to 13 micron-meters.
- The swash plate type compressor according to the present invention is industrially useful because the adhesion resistance of the swash plate is greatly improved as compared with that achieved by the prior art because a mixed resin is used as a binder resin contained in a lubrication film provided on the swash plate.
