DISPLACEMENT DETECTION DEVICE FOR VARIABLE DISPLACEMENT COMPRESSOR, AND VARIABLE CAPACITY COMPRESSOR EQUIPPED WITH SAME

摘要

Provided is a displacement detection device for a variable displacement compressor which has a configuration such that the displacement detection device can estimate the displacement with little effect from external disturbances, and can be used with pistons that do not require a high degree of machining precision, thus allowing for a greater degree of freedom in the shape of the surface to be detected. Also provided is a variable displacement compressor provided with the displacement detection device. The displacement detection device for a variable displacement compressor is equipped with: a position detection sensor, which is disposed laterally to the piston and outputs a surface displacement signal for the surface to be detected when the piston moves in a reciprocating manner; and an estimation means that measures and stores the waveform pattern (A) of the displacement signal for a stroke of the piston during operation at maximum displacement, detects the waveform pattern (B) of the displacement signal for one stroke of the piston in the current operating state, and estimates the displacement of one stroke of the piston in the current operating state from a comparison of waveform pattern (A) and waveform pattern (B).
