A capacity control valve includes a valve housing formed with a discharge port, a suction port, and first and second control ports, a rod arranged in the valve housing and driven by a solenoid, a CS valve 50 configured to control a fluid flow between the first control port and the suction port in accordance with a movement of the rod, and a DC valve configured to control a fluid flow between the second control port and the discharge port in accordance with the movement of the rod. In a non-energization state of the solenoid, the CS valve is closed and the DC valve is opened. As the energization of the solenoid becomes larger, the CS valve transitions from a closed state to an open state, and the DC valve is throttled from an open state and thereafter transitions to the open state.

A capacity control valve includes valve housings to which a suction fluid of a suction pressure Ps and a control fluid of a control pressure Pc are supplied; a solenoid; a CS valve formed of a CS valve body that partitions an inside of the valve housings into a first space and a second space and moves according to the suction pressure Ps of the suction fluid and the control pressure Pc of the control fluid, and a CS valve seat with which the CS valve body is configured for coming into contact; a biasing member that biases the CS valve body in a valve closing direction of the CS valve; and a pilot valve formed of a pilot valve body to be driven by the solenoid and a pilot valve seat with which the pilot valve body is configured for coming into contact.

Provided is a capacity control valve that can be produced with good workability and at a low cost. A capacity control valve includes: a valve housing in which a flow passage is formed; and a valve body disposed inside the valve housing and driven by a solenoid. A valve seat member having a tubular shape and including a valve seat on which the valve body is seatable is press-fitted into the valve housing, and at least the valve seat of the valve seat member is harder than the valve housing.

A branch passage which branches off from a portion of a supply passage on the downstream side of a supply control valve and communicates with a suction chamber is provided, and when providing a release control valve which, while allowing working fluid to flow, moves in response to the differential pressure between the downstream side pressure of the supply control valve and the pressure of a control pressure chamber on the supply passage, while preventing the movement of a valve element from being inhibited by a foreign substance in refrigerant, a leakage of the refrigerant into a suction chamber is suppressed when supplying the refrigerant from a discharge chamber to the control pressure chamber via the supply passage, enhancing control performance. A release control valve 51 has a valve element 60 including a valve body 62 which, being disposed, in a valve housing space 50 provided on a supply passage 40, so as to be movable in an axial direction of the valve housing space 50, varies the degree of opening of the communication between a control pressure chamber 4 and a branch passage 43, and a flange 63 which is abutted, in an axial direction of the valve housing space, against a shoulder 52 formed on the inner peripheral wall of the valve housing space 50, thereby sealing between the valve body 62 and the inner peripheral wall of the valve housing space 50, wherein a configuration is such that the branch passage 43 is covered by the valve body 62 in a state in which the flange 63 is abutted against the shoulder 52.

A swash plate compressor including: a housing; a rotating shaft rotatably mounted to the housing; a swash plate accommodated in a crank chamber of the housing and rotating with the rotating shaft; a piston forming a compression chamber with the housing and interlocking with the swash plate to reciprocate; a discharge flow path guiding a refrigerant of the crank chamber to a suction chamber of the housing wherein an inclination angle of the swash plate is adjusted; and a discharge flow path control valve having a valve chamber provided in the discharge flow path and a valve core reciprocating inside the valve chamber, and the valve core includes: a first communication path constantly communicating the discharge flow path; and a second communication path communicating the discharge flow path when differential pressure between pressure of the crank chamber and pressure of the suction chamber is within a certain pressure range.

A variable displacement compressor which prevents leakage of a refrigerant flowing directly into a suction chamber without passing via a crank chamber at a time of a minimum discharge displacement operation, thus making it possible to prevent an increase of a minimum discharge displacement by increasing a refrigerant pressure in the crank chamber, and in addition, making it possible to prevent insufficient lubrication of sliding portions and the like in the crank chamber.

Disclosed is a capacity control valve includes a valve housing. A main valve including a valve body is driven by a solenoid, and a main valve seat which is between a discharge port and a control port and with which the valve body can contact, a pressure sensitive valve member forms a pressure sensitive valve, together with a pressure sensitive body disposed in a pressure sensitive chamber. The control port and a suction port communicate with each other through an intermediate communication passage by opening and closing of the pressure sensitive valve. The pressure sensitive valve member has a through-hole communicating with the intermediate communication passage, and has an opening and closing member attached thereto such that the opening and closing member is restricted in movement with respect to the valve housing by restriction device and slides relative to the pressure sensitive valve member to open and close the through-hole.

A capacity control valve includes a valve housing. A main valve including a valve body is driven by a solenoid, and a main valve seat which is provided between a discharge port and a control port and with which the valve body 51 is allowed to contact. A pressure sensitive valve member forming a pressure sensitive valve with a pressure sensitive body is disposed in a pressure sensitive chamber. The control port and a suction port communicate through an intermediate communication passage by opening the pressure sensitive valve. A slide valve body slides relative to the pressure sensitive valve member to open and close a through-hole communicating with the intermediate communication passage. The slide valve body partitions the pressure sensitive chamber into a Pd side space and a Pc side space, and a Pd-Pc flow passage providing communication between two spaces and is formed in the slide valve body.

Variable displacement compressor 100 has second control valve 350 for adjusting the opening degree of pressure release passage 146. Second control valve 350 includes partition member 351, which partitions valve chamber 351c and back pressure chamber 351d, and has side wall 351a surrounding valve portion 352b of spool 352, and end wall 351b connected to one end side of side wall 351a and through which shaft portion 352b of spool 352 penetrates. Furthermore, in second control valve 350, end surface 351a1 opposite to the end wall of the side wall of partition member 351 abuts on the wall surface opposite to the back pressure chamber of the valve chamber 351c. When the valve portion 352b of spool 352 abuts on the wall surface, pressure receiving portion 352a of spool 352 abuts on end wall 351b.

A control valve includes: a first valve to control a flow rate of refrigerant flowing from a discharge chamber to a control chamber of a compressor; a second valve to control a flow rate of the refrigerant flowing from the control chamber to a suction chamber; a solenoid to generate a drive force in a first valve closing direction and a second valve opening direction; a biasing member to generate a biasing force in an first valve opening direction and a second valve closing direction; and a pressure sensing part to sense a pressure in the suction chamber or the control chamber, and generate a counterforce against the drive force. A state in which both of the first and second valves are open is present during an increase in the current supplied to the solenoid from zero to an upper limit current value, and an increase rate of an opening degree of the first valve is increased during a decrease in the current supplied to the solenoid, a predetermined lower limit current value being an inflection point of the increase.
