Abstract
A swash plate compressor provided with a housing internally defining and forming cylinder bores, a crank chamber, a suction chamber, and a discharge chamber; pistons accommodated in the cylinder bores to be able to reciprocate in them; a drive shaft driven by an external drive source and supported by the housing; a swash plate synchronously rotatably supported with respect to the drive shaft; and shoes at the front and rear of the swash plate for driving the pistons; wherein the shoes are mainly comprised of a magnesium-based material.
Claims4
A swash plate compressor provided with
- a housing internally defining and forming cylinder bores, a crank chamber, a suction chamber, and a discharge chamber;
- a piston accommodated in the each cylinder bore to be able to reciprocate in them;
- a drive shaft driven by an external drive source and supported by said housing;
- a swash plate synchronously rotatably supported with respect to said drive shaft;
- and
- a pair of shoes provided at a front and rear of the swash plate so as to be accommodated in the piston and to drive the piston;
- wherein
- the shoes are mainly comprised of a magnesium-based material.
A variable swash plate compressor provided with
- a housing internally defining and forming cylinder bores, a crank chamber, a suction chamber, and a discharge chamber;
- a single-headed piston accommodated in the each cylinder bore to be able to reciprocate them;
- a drive shaft driven by an external drive source and supported by said housing;
- a swash plate synchronously rotatably supported with respect to said drive shaft;
- and
- a pair of shoes provided at a front and rear of the swash plate so as to be accommodated in the piston and to drive the piston;
- wherein
- the shoes are mainly comprised of a magnesium-based material;
- and
- an inclination angle of the swash plate is variable with respect to the drive shaft, and a pressure in the crank chamber can be adjusted to change the inclination angle and amount of discharge capacity.
