Abstract

A capacity control valve includes a valve housing; a main valve including a valve body driven by a solenoid, and a main valve seat between a discharge port and a control port and with which the valve body is contactable; and a pressure sensitive valve member disposed in a pressure sensitive chamber and forming a pressure sensitive valve, together with a pressure sensitive body. The control port and a suction port communicate with each other through an intermediate communication passage by opening the pressure sensitive valve. The pressure sensitive valve member has a through-hole communicating with the intermediate communication passage and has a slide valve body attached thereto such that the slide valve body slides relative to the pressure sensitive valve member to open and close the through-hole. A biasing device is provided on a radially outer side of the slide valve body.

Claims (47)

1. A capacity control valve comprising:

a valve housing provided with a discharge port through which a discharge fluid of a discharge pressure passes, a suction port through which a suction fluid of a suction pressure passes, and a control port through which a control fluid of a control pressure passes;

a main valve including a valve body driven by a solenoid, and a main valve seat which is provided between the discharge port and the control port and with which the valve body is contactable;

a pressure sensitive body disposed in a pressure sensitive chamber; and

a pressure sensitive valve member extending from the valve body to the pressure sensitive chamber and forming a pressure sensitive valve, together with the pressure sensitive body,

wherein an intermediate communication passage is formed in the valve body and in the pressure sensitive valve member,

the control port and the suction port are allowed to communicate with each other through the intermediate communication passage by opening the pressure sensitive valve,

the pressure sensitive valve member is provided with a through-hole communicating with the intermediate communication passage and has a slide valve body attached thereto such that the slide valve body slides relative to the pressure sensitive valve member to open and close the through-hole, and

a biasing device that biases the slide valve body in an opening direction is provided on a radially outer side of the slide valve body.

2. The capacity control valve according to claim 1 ,

wherein the biasing device is disposed between the slide valve body and a support portion formed closer to a tip side than the through-hole in the pressure sensitive valve member.

3. The capacity control valve according to claim 1 ,

wherein the biasing device is disposed so as to be exposed to the pressure sensitive chamber.

4. The capacity control valve according to claim 1 ,

wherein an inner peripheral surface of the slide valve body is formed as a flush surface.

5. The capacity control valve according to claim 1 ,

wherein a receiving surface facing toward the main valve is formed in the slide valve body.

6. The capacity control valve according to claim 5 ,

wherein the receiving surface is tilted with respect to a reciprocating direction of the valve body.

7. The capacity control valve according to claim 1 ,

wherein the slide valve body is disposed to be strokable in a closed state of the through-hole.

8. The capacity control valve according to claim 1 ,

wherein the valve body and the pressure sensitive valve member are separate bodies, and a stopper portion that restricts a movement of the slide valve body toward the main valve is formed in the valve body.

9. The capacity control valve according to claim 1 ,

wherein a plurality of the through-holes are formed in the pressure sensitive valve member.

10. The capacity control valve according to claim 2 ,

wherein the biasing device is disposed so as to be exposed to the pressure sensitive chamber.

11. The capacity control valve according to claim 2 ,

wherein an inner peripheral surface of the slide valve body is formed as a flush surface.

12. The capacity control valve according to claim 2 ,

wherein a receiving surface facing toward the main valve is formed in the slide valve body.

13. The capacity control valve according to claim 12 ,

wherein the receiving surface is tilted with respect to a reciprocating direction of the valve body.

14. The capacity control valve according to claim 2 ,

wherein the slide valve body is disposed to be strokable in a closed state of the through-hole.

15. The capacity control valve according to claim 2 ,

wherein the valve body and the pressure sensitive valve member are separate bodies, and a stopper portion that restricts a movement of the slide valve body toward the main valve is formed in the valve body.

16. The capacity control valve according to claim 2 ,

wherein a plurality of the through-holes are formed in the pressure sensitive valve member.

17. The capacity control valve according to claim 3 ,

wherein an inner peripheral surface of the slide valve body is formed as a flush surface.

18. The capacity control valve according to claim 3 ,

wherein a receiving surface facing toward the main valve is formed in the slide valve body.

19. The capacity control valve according to claim 18 ,

wherein the receiving surface is tilted with respect to a reciprocating direction of the valve body.

20. The capacity control valve according to claim 3 ,

wherein the slide valve body is disposed to be strokable in a closed state of the through-hole.
