Suction valve in variable displacement compressor

摘要

The object of the present invention is to offer a structure of a suction valve enough to prevent a noise or clatter caused by vibrations of a suction valve in a variable displacement compressor having pistons. The suction valve is a bendable flexible valve composed of flexible portions, and of a closing portion placed adjoining to the flexible portions to form a free end to close a suction port. The lengths of the flexible portions of the suction valve are nearly equal, but the widths of the flexible portions of the suction valve are different each other. And the distance between the suction valve and a receiving portion which regulates maximum opening degree, is determined so that the lower bending flexibility side of the flexible portions contacts the receiving portion from the beginning or as soon as the suction valve starts to open, and that the higher bending flexibility side of the flexible portions approaches the receiving portion with the lower bending flexibility side of the flexible portion contacting the receiving portion, while the suction valve is twisted. <IMAGE>
