Variable displacement compressor

摘要

A variable displacement compressor includes a housing having a suction chamber. A crank chamber is defined in the housing. A valve plate assembly is located in the housing. A drive shaft is supported in the housing. A radial bearing is located in the housing. A holding bore houses the rear end of the drive shaft and the radial bearing. The holding bore is connected to a holding space. A passage connects the holding space and the suction chamber. A restricting member is located in the holding space. The restricting member restricts axial movement of the drive shaft and divides the holding space into a first region and a second region. A clearance is formed between the restricting member and the valve plate assembly. The clearance disappears when the pressure of the crank chamber is increased rapidly.
