Variable displacement-type compressor for vehicle

Abstract

A variable displacement-type compressor for a vehicle includes: an electromagnetic clutch having a first electromagnetic coil; an electromagnetic control valve having an second electromagnetic coil; a first connector having an input terminal portion and an output terminal portion, the first connector being integrated with and electrically connected to one of the electromagnetic clutch and the electromagnetic control valve, and disposed at a position away from the other one of the electromagnetic clutch and the electromagnetic control valve, the input terminal portion being connectable to a vehicle-side connector, and the output terminal portion being electrically connectable to the other one; and a second connector provided separately from the other one, connected to the other one through a cable, and connected to the output terminal portion of the first connector.

1 . A variable displacement-type compressor for a vehicle comprising:
 a rotation shaft that rotates by motive power received from an external drive source;   an electromagnetic clutch that has a first electromagnetic coil and switches supply of the motive power from the external drive source to the rotation shaft to be started and stopped by an operation of the first electromagnetic coil;   an electromagnetic control valve that has a second electromagnetic coil and controls a discharge displacement of the variable displacement-type compressor for a vehicle by an operation of the second electromagnetic coil;   a first connector that has an input terminal portion and an output terminal portion, the first connector being integrated with and electrically connected to one of the electromagnetic clutch and the electromagnetic control valve, and disposed at a position away from the other one of the electromagnetic clutch and the electromagnetic control valve, the input terminal portion being connectable to a vehicle-side connector, and the output terminal portion being electrically connectable to the other one; and   a second connector that is provided separately from the other one, connected to the other one through a cable, and connected to the output terminal portion of the first connector, wherein   energization from a vehicle side to the electromagnetic clutch and the electromagnetic control valve is performed through the input terminal portion.   
     
     
         2 . The variable displacement-type compressor for a vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the first connector is integrated with the electromagnetic control valve,   the electromagnetic control valve has a resin portion formed by resin molding and fixing the second electromagnetic coil, and   the first connector is provided integrally with the resin portion.   
     
     
         3 . The variable displacement-type compressor for a vehicle according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the second electromagnetic coil is connected to the input terminal portion through a first power feed line and a first ground line,   the cable includes a second power feed line and a second ground line,   the first electromagnetic coil is electrically connected to the input terminal portion through the second power feed line and the second ground line, and   each of the first ground line and the second ground line is electrically connected to a common ground line provided in the vehicle-side connector.   
     
     
         4 . The variable displacement-type compressor for a vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the first connector is integrated with the electromagnetic clutch,   the electromagnetic clutch has a resin portion formed by resin molding and fixing the first electromagnetic coil, and   the first connector is provided integrally with the resin portion.   
     
     
         5 . The variable displacement-type compressor for a vehicle according to  claim 4 , wherein
 the first electromagnetic coil is connected to the input terminal portion through a first power feed line and a first ground line,   the cable includes a second power feed line and a second ground line,   the second electromagnetic coil is electrically connected to the input terminal portion through the second power feed line and the second ground line, and   each of the first ground line and the second ground line is electrically connected to a common ground line provided in the vehicle-side connector.   
     
     
         6 . The variable displacement-type compressor for a vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of a housing accommodating the rotation shaft is provided with an engaging piece that engages with the cable to regulate movement of the cable.
