Abstract
A compressor (10) for compressing air for a compressed air system of a motor vehicle has a cylinder housing (14) and a cylinder head (16) connected thereto. A compressor piston is moveable in oscillation up and down in a cylinder in the cylinder housing (14). A lamella (34, 36) is received in a depression (38) in an underside (30) of the cylinder head (16) facing the compressor piston. The delivery rate of the compressor (10) can be regulated by closing or opening a control channel (60, 60′) in the cylinder head (16) via the lamella. A bearing end (44) of the lamella (34, 36) is hinged in a pivotably guided manner on a bearing contour (54) of this depression (38). As a result, a separate bearing journal for pivotable mounting of the lamella (34, 36) on the cylinder head (16) may be omitted.
Claims9
A compressor (10) for compressing air for a compressed air system of a motor vehicle, the compressor comprising
- a cylinder housing (14),
- a cylinder head (16) connected thereto,
- at least one cylinder in the cylinder housing (14),
- at least one compressor piston moveable in oscillation up and down in the at least one cylinder in the cylinder housing (14), and
- at least one lamella (34, 36) received in at least one depression (38) in an underside (30) of the cylinder head (16) facing the at least one compressor piston,
- wherein a delivery rate of the compressor (10) is regulated with little loss by closing or opening at least one control channel (60, 60′) in the cylinder head (16) via the at least one lamella, and wherein the at least one lamella (34, 36) has a bearing end (44) hinged in a pivotably guided manner on a bearing contour (54) of the depression (38).
