Abstract
A piston of a variable-capacity compressor is manufactured by firstly rough machining. The piston is then coupled to the connecting rod, and subsequently the outer peripheral surface and the top surface of the piston are finish-machined.
Claims4
A method for manufacturing a piston of a variable-capacity compressor, said compressor comprising a casing, at least one cylinder bore, said piston reciprocatingly arranged in said cylinder bore, a drive shaft, a rotatable member movable with said drive shaft, a swash plate mounted to said drive shaft so as to change an inclined angle and rotatable with said rotatable member, and a connecting rod comprising a cylindrical body having a first end associated with a slide surface of said swash plate via a shoe and a second end coupled to said piston, said method comprising the steps of:
- coupling said connecting rod to said piston;
- and
- subsequently, finishing an outer peripheral surface and a top surface of the piston.
