Abstract

Variable displacement compressor comprising a housing; piston; and drive shaft rotatably supported by the housing; a rotor rotating in unison with the drive shaft; a swash plate that rotates in synchronism with the rotation of the connected rotor. Rotation of the swash plate is converted into a reciprocating motion of the piston; and a pressure control valve that is capable of controlling the internal pressure of a crank chamber. The swash plate is connected to the rotor in an inclined fashion such that, as viewed from a site on the swash plate corresponding to the top dead center position of the piston, a compression process region toward the positive direction of the rotation of the swash plate is farther away from the bearing surface of a thrust bearing, which is formed on the rotor, than a suction process region toward the negative direction of the rotation of the swash plate.
