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.

There is provided a capacity control valve having a fluid discharge function at a start-up and having good operating efficiency. A capacity control valve V includes a valve housing 10; a main valve 50 including a valve body 51 driven by a solenoid 80, and a main valve seat 10a which is provided between a discharge port 12 and a control port 14 and with which the valve body 51 is contactable; and a pressure sensitive valve member 52 disposed in a pressure sensitive chamber 40 and forming a pressure sensitive valve 53, together with a pressure sensitive body 60. The control port 14 and a suction port 13 are allowed to communicate with each other through an intermediate communication passage 55 by opening the pressure sensitive valve 53. The pressure sensitive valve member 52 is provided with a through-hole 52d communicating with the intermediate communication passage 55 and has a slide valve body 90 attached thereto such that the slide valve body 90 slides relative to the pressure sensitive valve member 52 to open and close the through-hole 52d. A biasing device 91 that biases the slide valve body 90 in an opening direction is provided on a radially outer side of the slide valve body 90.

A variable displacement swash plate compressor includes a displacement control valve that is configured to change crank chamber pressure, and an opening adjusting valve that adjusts an amount of refrigerant sucked into a suction chamber. The opening adjusting valve includes a valve case, a first valve element, a second valve element, and an urging spring. The valve case has a valve seat on which the second valve element is seated. The valve seat regulates movement of the second valve element toward the first valve element. A sealing member is provided between an inner peripheral surface of the valve case that defines a second valve chamber and an outer peripheral surface of the second valve element to prevent refrigerant in the second valve chamber so that leakage between a bleed passage and a control passage is prevented.

A capacity control valve includes a valve housing provided a discharge port through which a discharge fluid of discharge pressure Pd passes, a suction port through which a suction fluid of suction pressure Ps passes, and a control port through which a control fluid of control pressure Pc passes, a rod configured to be driven by a solenoid, a main valve formed by a main valve seat and a main valve element and configured for opening and closing a communication between the discharge port and the control port in accordance with a movement of the rod, and a CS valve provided between the control port and the suction port and controlled by a dynamic pressure of a fluid flowing from the discharge port to the control port at an opening state of the main valve.

A capacity control valve (1) includes a valve main body (10) having a first communication passage (11), a second communication passage (12), a third communication passage (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 solenoid (30) that drives a rod (36) having an auxiliary valve seat (26c), and a first biasing member (43) that biases in the valve closing direction of the main valve portion (21c). A spring constant of the first biasing member (43) has a characteristic that the spring constant is increased in an opened state of the main valve portion (21c) and decreased in a closed state. The capacity control valve can efficiently discharge a liquid coolant and lower drive force of a compressor at a liquid coolant discharging operation.

A variable displacement compressor capable of preventing delay in pressure release of a controlled pressure chamber, such as a crank chamber. A switching valve (350) disposed downstream of a control valve of a pressure supply passage includes a main valve body (352) and a sub valve body (400). The main valve body (352) includes an internal passage (352d) providing communication between a first valve hole (104e1) communicating with a pressure supply passage (145a) between the control valve and the switching valve (350), and a second valve hole (151a) communicating with a pressure supply passage (145b) between the switching valve (350) and the crank chamber. The main valve body (352) provides communication between the second valve hole (151a) and a pressure release hole (351a1) communicating with the suction chamber, when pressure Pm in the pressure supply passage (145a) is lower than pressure Pc in the crank chamber. The sub valve body (400) closes the internal passage (352d) of the main valve body (352), when pressure Pm is lower than pressure Pc. The sub valve body (400) is lighter than the main valve body (352), and thus, when pressure Pm decreases, the sub valve body (400) actuates before the main valve body (352), to close the internal passage (352d) of the main valve body (352).

A capacity control valve for controlling a capacity of a fluid includes: a valve housing; a main valve closing and opening a communication between a Pc port and a Pd port when a main valve portion of a main valve element driven by a drive force of a solenoid comes into contact with and separates from a main valve seat; a pressure-sensitive valve which is opened by an ambient pressure; a hollow tube member which forms a part of the pressure-sensitive valve and allows the Pc port to communicate with a Ps port through a hollow communication path formed therein when the pressure-sensitive valve is opened; and an auxiliary communication path which allows the Pc port to communicate with the Ps port independently of the pressure-sensitive valve, in which the auxiliary communication path is configured to be able to increase a flow path cross-sectional area after the main valve is closed.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a capacity control valve with which it is possible to efficiently discharge a liquid refrigerant irrespective of the pressure of a suction chamber. A capacity control valve (1) includes: a valve main body (10) having a first communication passage (11), a second communication passage (12), a third communication passage (13), and a main valve seat (15a); a valve body (20) having an intermediate communication passage (26), a main valve part (21b), and an auxiliary valve part (23d); and a solenoid (30) equipped with a first plunger (34) having a first rod (33), and a second plunger (35) having a second rod (36), the first rod (33) opens and closes the main valve part (21b), and the second rod (36) opens and closes the auxiliary valve part (23d).
