Abstract:
A single-side compression type swash-plate compressor wherein, in order to improve the sliding contact performance on the compression side of the iron or aluminum material used therein, at least that plane of a swash plate (14) which is in sliding contact with a shoe (15b) on the compression space side is coated with a sprayed coating layer comprising a copper alloy containing 0.5-50 % of at least one member selected from the group consisting of at most 40 % lead, at most 30 % tin, at most 0.5 % phosphorus, at most 15 % aluminum, at most 10 % silver, at most 5 % silicon, at most 5 % manganese, at most 5 % chromium, at most 20 % nickel and at most 30 % zinc, and the balance consisting substantially by copper and impurities, while at least that plane of the swash plate (14) which is in sliding contact with a shoe (15a) on the side opposite to the compression space is subjected to electrolytic plating, nonelectrolytic plating, lubricant coating, phosphate coating, or hardening.
Abstract:
In order to increase the anti-seizing properties of a swash plate which is a sliding component of a swash plate type compressor, a copper alloy is sprayed onto the swash plate and the following texture/composition controls are performed as required: (a) to produce a mixed texture of a dissolved texture into which atomized bronze powder is dissolved during spraying and an atomized texture into which the same bronze powder is not dissolved, (b) to add no or a small amount of Pb to the dissolved texture, (c) to add Sn, P, Al, Ag, Si, Mn, Cr, Ni, Zn, Pb and/or Bi to copper, (d) to add a hard material to a copper alloy, and (e) to form an intermediate layer comprising an Ni alloy or the like between the sprayed layer and a substrate.
Abstract:
A variable capacity swash plate compressor includes a cylinder block (1) having a central through hole and at least one cylinder bore (6) formed about the central through hole, a drive shaft (5) rotatably arranged in the central through hole, a rotary member (40) rigidly fitted on the drive shaft (5) for rotation in unison therewith, a swash plate (10, 110) slidably and tiltably fitted on the drive shaft (5), the swash plate (10, 110) having a sliding surface (10 a , 10 c ), a linkage (41) connecting the rotary member (40) and the swash plate (10, 110) such that the swash plate (10, 110) rotates in unison with the rotary member (40) as the rotary member (40) rotates, at least one shoe (50, 150) arranged to perform relative rotation on the sliding surface (10 a , 10 c ) of the swash plate (10, 110) with respect thereto, and at least one piston (7, 107) connected to the swash plate (10, 110) via a corresponding one of the at least one shoe (50, 150), the or each piston (7, 107) being reciprocable within a corresponding one of the at least one cylinder bore (6) as the swash plate (10, 110) rotates. The swash plate (10, 110) has a protruding portion (10 e ) formed thereon, which protruding portion (10e) forms a component part of the linkage (41). The swash plate (10, 110) including the protruding portion (10 e ) is subjected to surface treatment by gas sulphonitriding or electroless nickel-phosphorus-boron plating.
Abstract:
An aqueous phosphoric bonding solution consists essentially of phosphoric acid, a source of magnesium ions, and a leachable corrosion inhibitor. The bonding solution is stable with respect to inorganic metal particles, such as aluminum, which are admixed to the bonding solution for the preparation of a coating slurry. Metal parts coated with the coating compositions have very satisfactory properties such as heat and corrosion resistance.
Abstract:
A compressor comprising: a cylinder block (30,31) containing a cylinder bore (41,42); a drive shaft (39) rotatably supported by the cylinder block; a cam (40,48) attached to the drive shaft to be rotatable integrally therewith; a piston (1,43) housed in the cylinder bore; and a shoe (7,44) having a spherical and flat sliding surface and slidably interposed between the piston and the cam; the piston being reciprocated via the shoe as the cam is rotated; the piston being made of an aluminum or aluminum alloy matrix and having a receiving portion (2,46) for slidably receiving the spherical surface (8,47) of the shoe therein, characterized in that the shoe is made of a ferrous metal matrix and a coating layer containing tin as a major component is formed at the receiving recess of the piston.
Abstract:
A compressor is provided with cylinder blocks (30, 31) having cylinder bores (41, 42). A driving shaft (39) is supported rotatably on the cylinder blocks (30, 31). A swash plate (40) is fixed to the driving shaft (39) so that the swash plate can be rotated unitarily with the shaft. A piston (1) is held slidably in the cylinder bores (41, 42). Shoes (44) are provided slidably between the piston (1) and swash plate (40). The rotation of the swash plate (40) causes the shoes to reciprocate the piston. The piston (1) comprises aluminum or an aluminum alloy as a base material. The piston (1) is provided with recesses (2) for retaining the shoes (44) slidably. The retaining recesses (2) are provided with a covering layer (6) formed out of tin as a main component.
Abstract:
A sliding member (76, 300, 302, 304, 310, 332) for a compressor, comprising a base body (146) formed of a material which contains aluminum as a major component, and an electroless nickel plating layer (152) formed on a surface of the base body and containing phosphorous (P) and boron (B), characterized in that: the electroless nickel plating layer is a non heat-treated layer containing the phosphorous in an amount of 0.5-5.0 wt.% and the boron in an amount of 0.05-0.2 wt.%.
