JP-A-2002-303262

  In the control valve 5 for the variable displacement compressor as described above, the responsiveness of the pressure control is improved, that is, when the valve is opened, the pressure (supply pressure) Pc in the crank chamber is quickly brought close (increased) to the discharge pressure Pd. When the valve is closed, the suction pressure Ps needs to be brought close to (increased) the supply pressure Pc quickly. In this case, in order to suppress an increase in cost, a measure for improving the responsiveness while sharing parts with other control valves such as the control valve 5 is desired. In order to quickly increase the supply pressure Pc when the valve body portion 15a opens the valve port 22, the flow rate of the refrigerant supplied from the refrigerant outlet 26 to the compressor crank chamber can be increased by increasing the valve port 22. . However, an effective measure for quickly bringing the suction pressure Ps close to the supply pressure Pc when the valve body portion 15a closes the valve port 22 has not been proposed yet.

  Further, when the valve port 22 is enlarged to increase the flow rate of the refrigerant supplied from the refrigerant outlet 26 to the compressor crank chamber in order to improve the responsiveness when the valve is opened, the following problems may occur. . That is, when the refrigerant flow rate is increased as described above, the pressure on the refrigerant outlet 26 side (supply pressure Pc to the crank chamber) acting on the valve rod 15 '(valve body portion 15a) increases. In the conventional control valve 5, the influence due to the differential pressure (Pc−Ps) between the supply pressure Pc and the suction pressure Ps (acting on the upper end surface of the valve rod 15 ′) when the valve is opened is slight. Although the above is negligible, if the flow rate of the refrigerant is increased by increasing the valve port 22 in order to improve the responsiveness, the influence of the differential pressure between the supply pressure Pc and the suction pressure Ps increases, and electromagnetic When the specifications of the type actuator 30 and the pressure-sensitive response member 40 are the same (shared), the valve rod 15 ′ (valve body portion 15a) is pushed upward (closed direction) by this differential pressure, It adversely affects control (decrease in control accuracy, etc.).

  In the control valve 5 as described above, the pressure of the refrigerant introduced into the valve chamber 21 from the discharge pressure refrigerant inlet 25 (discharge pressure Pd) is the pressure of the refrigerant in the suction pressure refrigerant introduction chamber 23 (intake pressure). Ps), a part of the refrigerant introduced into the valve chamber 21 when the valve is closed leaks into the suction pressure refrigerant introduction chamber 23 through the space between the sliding surface of the valve rod 15 'and the guide hole 19, but this Pd → As the amount of Ps leakage increases, the control is adversely affected. Therefore, it is desirable to reduce the amount of Pd → Ps leakage as much as possible.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a variable capacitor that can effectively improve responsiveness and improve control accuracy while suppressing an increase in cost. It is to provide a control valve for a type compressor.

  In order to achieve the above object, a control valve for a variable displacement compressor according to the present invention basically includes a valve stem having a valve body and a guide hole into which the valve stem is slidably inserted. And a valve chamber provided with a valve port for contacting and separating the valve body, and provided with a discharge pressure refrigerant inlet for introducing a refrigerant of discharge pressure from the compressor upstream from the valve port, A valve body provided with a refrigerant outlet communicating with the crank chamber of the compressor downstream from the valve port; an electromagnetic actuator for driving the valve rod in the valve port opening / closing direction; and a suction pressure of the compressor And a pressure-sensitive response member that drives the valve stem in the valve opening / closing direction in response to the pressure.

  A suction pressure refrigerant introduction chamber into which the refrigerant at the suction pressure is introduced is formed between the plunger of the electromagnetic actuator and the valve body, and at the refrigerant outlet so as to pass through the valve rod. A through hole for guiding the refrigerant pressure to the suction pressure refrigerant introduction chamber is formed, and the upper end opening of the through hole can be opened and closed by the up and down movement of the plunger.

  In a more specific preferred embodiment, a valve stem having a valve body portion, a guide hole into which the valve stem is slidably inserted, and a valve chamber provided with a valve port for contacting and separating the valve body portion are provided. A discharge pressure refrigerant inlet for introducing refrigerant at a discharge pressure from the compressor upstream from the valve port, and a refrigerant outlet communicating with the crank chamber of the compressor downstream from the valve port. A provided valve body, a coil, a cylindrical stator disposed on the inner peripheral side of the coil, a suction element fixed to the stator, and a sliding part disposed vertically below the suction element An electromagnetic actuator having a plunger formed thereon, a pressure sensing chamber formed above the suction element on the inner peripheral side of the stator and introduced with suction pressure from the compressor, and disposed in the pressure sensing chamber A pressure-sensitive response member, and a pressure-sensitive response member and the plunger. When the plunger is attracted to the suction element, the valve body portion is moved in the valve closing direction, and the operating rod is pushed downward by the pressure-sensitive response member. Accordingly, the valve body portion is moved in the valve opening direction, and the suction pressure refrigerant introduction chamber in which the suction pressure refrigerant is introduced between the plunger of the electromagnetic actuator and the valve body. Is formed, and a through hole is formed through the valve rod to guide the refrigerant pressure at the refrigerant outlet to the suction pressure refrigerant introduction chamber, and the upper end opening of the through hole is moved up and down by the plunger. Can be opened and closed.

  In a preferred embodiment, a small-diameter hole portion is provided at the upper portion of the guide hole, and a small-diameter portion that is slidably fitted into the small-diameter hole portion is provided at the upper portion of the valve rod, and the refrigerant outlet is provided in the valve rod. The pressure equalizing pressure formed between the through-hole and the large-diameter hole portion below the small-diameter hole portion in the guide hole and the large-diameter portion below the small-diameter portion in the valve rod. A pressure equalizing communication hole leading to the introduction chamber is formed.

  In another preferred embodiment, the plunger is provided with a valve body portion for opening and closing the upper end opening of the through hole.

  Moreover, in another preferable aspect, a ring-shaped groove is formed on the outer periphery of a portion of the valve stem that is in sliding contact with the large-diameter hole portion of the guide hole.

  In the control valve for a variable displacement compressor according to the present invention, for example, when the plunger of the electromagnetic actuator is attracted to the attractor, the valve rod (valve body portion) is moved upward along with the plunger by the urging force of the valve closing spring. (The closing direction), the valve body part contacts the valve port and closes it, and in this state the upward movement of the valve stem is stopped, but from this valve closed state the plunger (valve part) Furthermore, it is attracted to a suction element, and the valve body part provided in the plunger leaves | separates from the upper end (upper end opening of a through-hole) of a valve stem. As a result, the upper end opening of the through hole is opened, the pressure on the refrigerant outlet side (supply pressure Pc to the crank chamber) is introduced into the suction pressure refrigerant introduction chamber through the through hole, and the suction pressure Ps is quickly supplied to the supply pressure Pc. To be close to. As a result, the responsiveness when the valve is closed is improved.

  In addition, the improvement of the responsiveness when the valve is opened is achieved by increasing the flow rate of the refrigerant supplied from the refrigerant outlet to the compressor crank chamber by increasing the valve opening.

  On the other hand, when the valve is opened, the pressure on the refrigerant outlet side (supply pressure Pc to the crank chamber) acting on the valve body of the valve rod is equalized through the through hole and the pressure equalizing communication hole formed in the valve rod. It is led to the pressure introduction chamber for pressure and acts on the large diameter part (shoulder part = terrace part) of the valve stem. That is, the supply pressure Pc introduced to the pressure equalization pressure introduction chamber acts in a direction to push down the valve rod, that is, in a direction to reduce (cancel) the differential pressure between the supply pressure Pc and the suction pressure Ps. For this reason, even if the valve port is enlarged to increase the responsiveness and the refrigerant flow rate is increased, the valve stem (valve part) is moved upward (closed direction) by the differential pressure between the supply pressure Pc and the suction pressure Ps. Therefore, the control problem is solved and the control accuracy is improved.

  Further, a part of the refrigerant introduced into the valve chamber from the discharge pressure refrigerant inlet is led to the pressure equalizing pressure introducing chamber through the sliding surface between the valve rod and the guide hole, and from here the pressure equalizing communication hole and It is led out to the refrigerant outlet through the through hole. In other words, there is almost no leakage from the discharge pressure Pd to the suction pressure Ps in the conventional control valve, and the discharge pressure Pd goes to the supply pressure Pc side, so that the control is not adversely affected. Improvement and the like.

  Further, an adjusting screw 65 having a hexagonal hole is screwed onto the stator 33, and a suction pressure Ps of the compressor is interposed between the adjusting screw 65 and the suction element 34 on the inner peripheral side of the stator 33. Is formed in the pressure sensing chamber 45. The pressure sensing chamber 45 includes a bellows 41, a reverse convex upper stopper 42, a reverse concave lower stopper 43, and a compression coil. A bellows body 40 comprising a spring 44 is disposed, and further, a compression coil that urges the bellows body 40 and the suction element 34 in a direction in which the bellows body 40 contracts (a direction in which the bellows body 40 is compressed toward the adjustment screw 65). A spring 46 is disposed. Also, a stepped operating rod 14 that passes through the suction element 34 is disposed between the lower stopper 43 (reverse concave part thereof) of the bellows body 40 and the plunger 37 (recessed part 37c thereof). A valve-opening spring 47 made of a compression coil spring that biases the valve rod 15 downward (in the valve-opening direction) via the plunger 37 is disposed between the valve 34 and the plunger 37 (the recess 37b).

  On the other hand, a convex stopper portion 28 for restricting the lowest position of the plunger 37 protrudes from the upper center of the valve body 20, and the central portion above the valve chamber including the convex stopper portion 28 includes: A guide hole 19 (described in detail later) into which the valve stem 15 is slidably fitted is formed. In addition, a suction pressure refrigerant introduction chamber 23 into which a refrigerant having a suction pressure Ps of the compressor is introduced is formed between the plunger 37 and the upper outer periphery (outer periphery of the convex stopper portion 28) of the valve body 20. A plurality of suction pressure refrigerant inlets 27 are formed on the outer peripheral side, and the suction pressure Ps introduced into the introduction chamber 23 from the inlet 27 is a longitudinal groove 37a, 37a,... In addition to being introduced into the pressure sensitive chamber 45 through a communication hole 39 formed in the child 34, it also acts on the upper end surface of the valve rod 15. Here, the hole 37d drilled in the central portion of the plunger 37 is provided to be used for mounting a ball valve body 37A described later, and has a function different from that of the communication hole 37d of the control valve 5 of the conventional example. To do.

  Further, in the refrigerant outlet 26 provided at the lowermost part of the valve body 20, the valve rod 15 is urged upward so that its upper end portion (upper end opening portion of a through hole 51 described later) A valve closing spring 48 comprising a conical compression coil spring that is pressed against the ball valve body 37A) is arranged.

  And in the control valve 1 of this embodiment, in order to improve responsiveness, the diameter of the said valve port 22, the valve rod 15, and the guide hole 10 is larger than the diameter of the control valve 5 shown by FIG. 3 mentioned above. As shown in FIG. 2 (partially enlarged view) in addition to FIG. 1, a small-diameter hole portion 19 b is provided in the upper portion of the guide hole 19 and the upper portion of the valve stem 15. The small-diameter portion 15b is slidably inserted into the small-diameter hole portion 19b, and the refrigerant pressure Pc at the refrigerant outlet 26 is set to the suction pressure refrigerant introduction chamber 23 so as to pass through the central portion of the valve rod 15. A ball valve body 37A is fixed by caulking at the center of the lower end of the plunger 37 so as to open and close the upper end opening of the through hole 51.

  Further, near the upper end of the large-diameter portion 15A of the valve stem 15, the refrigerant pressure Pc at the refrigerant outlet 26 from the through-hole 51 is larger than the small-diameter hole portion 19b of the guide hole 19 below the large-diameter hole portion. A plurality of pressure equalizing communication holes (lateral holes) 51a leading to a pressure equalizing pressure introduction chamber 52 formed between 19A and the large diameter portion 15A below the small diameter portion 15b of the valve stem 15 are formed. Yes. In addition, three ring-shaped grooves 15c are formed on the outer periphery of a portion (near the lower end) of the large diameter portion 15A of the valve stem 15 that is in sliding contact with the guide hole 19.

  In the control valve 1 having such a configuration, when the solenoid portion including the coil 32, the stator 33, and the attractor 34 is energized and energized, the plunger 37 is attracted to the attractor 34. Is moved upward (in the valve closing direction) by the urging force of the valve closing spring 48. On the other hand, the refrigerant having the suction pressure Ps introduced from the compressor to the suction pressure introduction port 27 communicates with the longitudinal grooves 37a, 37a,... Formed in the outer periphery of the plunger 37 from the introduction chamber 23 and the suction element 39. The bellows body 40 (inside the vacuum pressure) is expanded and contracted according to the pressure in the pressure sensitive chamber 45 (suction pressure Ps), and contracts and decreases when the suction pressure Ps is high. The displacement is transmitted to the valve stem 15 via the actuating rod 14 and the plunger 37, thereby adjusting the valve opening (effective passage cross-sectional area between the valve port 22 and the valve body 15a). Is done. That is, the opening degree of the valve includes the attraction force of the plunger 37 by the solenoid portion including the coil 32, the stator 33 and the attraction element 34, the urging force of the bellows body 40, the urging force by the valve opening spring 47 and the valve closing spring 48, In accordance with the valve opening, the amount of discharge pressure Pd introduced from the discharge pressure refrigerant introduction port 25 into the valve chamber 21 to the refrigerant outlet 26 side, that is, the crank chamber is adjusted (throttle amount). As a result, the pressure (supply pressure) Pc in the crank chamber is controlled.

  In the variable displacement compressor control valve 1 of the present embodiment, when the plunger 37 of the electromagnetic actuator 30 is attracted to the attractor 4, the valve rod 15 (valve body portion 15 a) is biased by the valve closing spring 48. As a result, the valve body 15a contacts the valve port 22 and closes it, and in this state, the upward movement of the valve stem 15 is stopped. From the state, the plunger 37 (the ball valve body 37A) is further attracted to the suction element, and the ball valve body 37A is separated from the upper end of the valve rod 15 (the upper end opening of the through hole 51). As a result, the upper end opening of the through hole 51 is opened, and the pressure on the refrigerant outlet side (supply pressure Pc to the crank chamber) is introduced into the suction pressure refrigerant introduction chamber 23 through the through hole 51, and the suction pressure Ps is quickly increased. The pressure is brought close to the supply pressure Pc. As a result, the responsiveness when the valve is closed is improved.

  Further, since the valve port 22 and the like are enlarged, the flow rate of the refrigerant supplied from the refrigerant outlet 26 to the compressor crank chamber is increased, so that the responsiveness when the valve is opened is also improved.

  On the other hand, when the valve is open, the pressure on the refrigerant outlet side (supply pressure Pc to the crank chamber) acting on the valve body 15a of the valve rod 15 is the through hole 51 formed in the valve rod 15 and the pressure equalizing communication hole. The pressure is introduced into the pressure equalizing pressure introduction chamber 52 through 51a and acts on the large diameter portion 15A (shoulder portion = terrace portion) of the valve rod 15. That is, the supply pressure Pc guided to the pressure equalization pressure introduction chamber 52 is in a direction in which the valve rod 15 is pushed down, that is, in a direction in which the influence of the differential pressure between the supply pressure Pc and the suction pressure Ps is reduced (cancelled). work. For this reason, even if the valve port 22 is enlarged to increase the responsiveness and the refrigerant flow rate is increased, the valve stem (valve part) is moved upward (closed direction) by the differential pressure between the supply pressure Pc and the suction pressure Ps. ), The control problem is solved, and the control accuracy is improved.

  Further, a part of the refrigerant introduced into the valve chamber from the discharge pressure refrigerant inlet 25 passes through between the sliding contact surfaces of the valve rod 15 and the guide hole 19 and is guided to the pressure equalizing pressure introducing chamber 52, from which the leveling is introduced. It is led out to the refrigerant outlet 26 through the pressure communication hole 51 a and the through hole 51. In other words, leakage from the discharge pressure Pd to the suction pressure Ps in the conventional control valve 5 hardly occurs, and the discharge pressure Pd is released to the supply pressure Pc side, so that the control is not adversely affected. The accuracy is improved.

  Further, since the ring-shaped groove 15c is formed in the valve rod 15, the labyrinth effect by the ring-shaped groove 15c reduces leakage from the discharge pressure Pd to the supply pressure Pc, and the ring-shaped groove 15c Since the minute foreign matter entering between the sliding contact surfaces of the valve stem 15 and the guide hole 19 is captured, the minute foreign matter is less likely to be clogged between the sliding contact surfaces of the valve stem 15 and the guide hole 19, and the valve stem 15 is malfunctioning. For example, even if the plunger 37 is attracted to the suction element 34, it is possible to obtain an effect that it is difficult to cause a situation in which the valve stem 15 is left without being moved upward.
