A control device of a compressor includes a piston which reciprocates by a swash plate, a crankcase receiving the swash plate mounted such that an inclination angle thereof is variable, a discharge chamber from which a compressed working fluid is discharged, a suction chamber sucking the working fluid to be compressed, a first communication channel connecting the suction chamber and the crankcase, a second communication channel connecting the discharge chamber and the crankcase, and a control valve which selectively opens and closes the first communication channel and the second communication channel. The control device includes a suction pressure sensor measuring a pressure of the suction chamber, a valve control unit determining a target suction pressure on the basis of the value measured by the suction pressure sensor and a set temperature, and a valve driving unit controlling the opening degree of the control valve to achieve the target suction pressure.

Provided is a variable-capacity compressor control valve with a reduced number of components and thus with a reduced cost, and also with stabilized controllability. A pushrod is disposed between a bellows device, which is a pressure-sensitive reaction member, and a sub valve element, and a plunger spring (i.e., an urging member) adapted to urge the sub valve element and the pushrod in directions away from each other is disposed between the sub valve element and the pushrod so as to urge the sub valve element in the direction to close the in-valve release passage and hold the bellows device within the pressure-sensitive chamber via the pushrod.

A capacity control valve includes: a valve body (10) having first communication passages (11), second communication passages (12), third communication passages (13), and a main valve seat (15a); a valve element (20) having an intermediate communication passage (29), a main valve portion (21c) and an auxiliary valve portion (23d); a pressure-sensitive element (24) disposed in the valve body (10); a solenoid (30) that drives a rod (36); a first biasing member (43) that biases in a valve closing direction of the main valve portion (21c); and a second biasing member (44) that biases in a valve opening direction of the main valve portion (21c), wherein the rod (36) moves relative to the valve element (20) to press the pressure-sensitive element (24). The capacity control valve can efficiently discharge a liquid refrigerant and can decrease a driving force of a compressor during a liquid refrigerant discharge operation.

The present invention relates to a suction pulsation reducing device of a swash plate type compressor, and more particularly, to a suction pulsation reduction apparatus provided on a suction channel formed in a rear head of a swash plate type compressor, in which a moving range of a core portion is limited and all parts to be mounted on a suction channel are integrally formed in a case.

Provided is a variable-capacity compressor control valve that can secure the attraction force of an electromagnetic actuator and can improve the actuation property without increasing the body size. A sub valve element or a cylindrical upper end portion thereof, which is a magnetic body made of the same magnetic material as or a different magnetic material from that of a plunger, is fixed to the inner periphery of the upper end portion of the plunger that is opposite an attractor.

Provided is a variable-capacity compressor control valve with a simple configuration that can increase the attraction force of an electromagnetic actuator and thus can reduce the size of the control valve. A sub valve element that is a magnetic body made of the same magnetic material as or a different magnetic material from that of a plunger, which is adapted to move a main valve element in the direction to open or close the valve orifice, is fitted in and fixed to the plunger.

A control valve includes: a body having a main passage through which a discharge chamber and a control chamber communicate, and a sub-passage through which the control chamber and a suction chamber communicate; a main valve seat provided in the main passage; a main valve element configured to touch and leave the main valve seat to close and open a main valve; a sub-valve seat provided in the sub-passage; a sub-valve element configured to touch and leave the sub-valve seat to close and open a sub-valve; a solenoid configured to generate a drive force in a valve closing direction of the main valve; an actuating rod for transmitting the drive force of the solenoid to the main valve element and the sub-valve element; a spring for applying a biasing force to the main valve in a valve opening direction; a spring for applying a biasing force to the sub-valve in a valve closing direction; and a differential pressure valve opening mechanism configured to open the sub-valve when a pressure difference between a control pressure in the control chamber and a suction pressure in the suction chamber becomes a preset pressure difference or larger.

An electric control valve for a coolant compressor comprises a valve housing, an electric actuating drive, a valve body displaceable by the electric actuating drive between a first position and a second position inside the valve housing, a position sensor determining a position of the valve body, a suction-pressure sensor, and a control system. The control system is adapted to control a coolant flow from a high-pressure region into a crankcase-chamber-pressure region of the coolant compressor by controlling the position of the valve body via the electric actuating drive based on the suction pressure received from the suction-pressure sensor. The control system moves the valve body to the first position to connect the high-pressure region and the crankcase-chamber-pressure region if the suction pressure is below a predetermined threshold.

A control valve includes: a body having a main passage through which a discharge chamber and a control chamber communicate, and a sub-passage through which the control chamber and a suction chamber communicate; a main valve seat provided in the main passage; a main valve element configured to touch and leave the main valve seat to close and open a main valve; a sub-valve seat provided in the sub-passage; a sub-valve element configured to touch and leave the sub-valve seat to close and open a sub-valve; a solenoid configured to generate a drive force in a valve closing direction of the main valve; an actuating rod for transmitting the drive force of the solenoid to the main valve element and the sub-valve element; a spring for applying a biasing force to the main valve in a valve opening direction; a spring for applying a biasing force to the sub-valve in a valve closing direction; and a differential pressure valve opening mechanism configured to open the sub-valve when a pressure difference between a control pressure in the control chamber and a suction pressure in the suction chamber becomes a preset pressure difference or larger.
