Swash plate type variable displacement compressor

A swash plate type variable displacement compressor comprising:

• a housing that includes a suction-pressure zone and a discharge-pressure zone;
• a rotary shaft that is rotatably supported in the housing;
• a swash plate that is disposed in the housing and is driven by the rotary shaft to rotate;
• a plurality of pistons that is engaged with the swash plate;
• a movable body coupled to the swash plate and adapted to change an inclination angle of the swash plate;
• a control pressure chamber that is defined by the movable body and adapted to move the movable body in an axial direction of the rotary shaft when control gas drawn into the control pressure chamber changes pressure of the control pressure chamber;
• and
• a displacement control mechanism that controls pressure in the control pressure chamber, wherein
• the pistons are movable reciprocally with a stroke length in accordance with the inclination angle of the swash plate,
• a first supply passage and a second supply passage extend from the discharge-pressure zone to the control pressure chamber and are partially parallel-connected between the discharge-pressure zone and the control pressure chamber, and
• a bleed passage extends from the control pressure chamber to the suction-pressure zone, wherein
• the displacement control mechanism includes:
• a throttle that is provided in the first supply passage;
• a first valve body that controls an opening of the bleed passage;
• a pressure-sensitive mechanism that senses pressure in the suction-pressure zone to be expanded or contracted in a moving direction of the first valve body to thereby control a valve opening of the first valve body;
• an electromagnetic solenoid;
• a drive force transmitting part that changes setting of the pressure-sensitive mechanism when electric current is supplied to the electromagnetic solenoid;
• and
• a second valve body that opens or closes the second supply passage by the drive force transmitting part;
• when the second valve body is opened, the first valve body is closed;
• and
• when the second valve body is closed, the valve opening of the first valve body is controlled.
