Variable displacement compressor

摘要

A variable displacement compressor has a crank chamber defined (15) in a housing. A drive shaft (16) is arranged in the housing. A piston (41) is accommodated in the cylinder bore. A swash plate (32) is connected to the piston to convert a rotation of the drive shaft (16). A retainer surface (63) is arranged in the housing and extends substantially perpendicular to the axis of the drive shaft (16). A restricting mechanism (65, 66, 67) is arranged between the swash plate (32) and the retainer surface (63). The restricting mechanism receives the swash plate (32) and restricts movement of the swash plate (32) when the inclination of the swash plate (32) decreases. <IMAGE>
