The swash plate 22 comes into contact with the flat portions 35, 36 of the shoes 27, 28 on the surfaces of the DLC films 43, 44, respectively.
The C films 43 and 44 serve as sliding surfaces of the swash plate 22 with the shoes 27 and 28.

The DLC films 43 and 44 are characterized in that physical properties such as hardness are similar to diamond, and have characteristics of high hardness and low friction coefficient. Therefore, since the surface of the swash plate 22 composed of the DLC films 43 and 44 has high sliding characteristics excellent in wear resistance and seizure resistance, the sliding between the swash plate 22 and the shoes 27 and 28 is performed. Moving part 47
The swash plate 22 and the shoe 2

Moreover, since the DLC films 43 and 44 have good formation accuracy (processing accuracy) such as film thickness and surface roughness, finishing treatment such as polishing for securing required film thickness and surface roughness is not required. Therefore, the film forming operation is simplified, and the cost is correspondingly reduced.

FIG. 3 shows an example in which a film is formed only on the rear surface of the swash plate. Incidentally, in the swash plate type compressor 11, a reaction force generated when the piston 20 is forcibly pulled at the time of sucking the refrigerant gas mainly acts on the front surface 39 of the swash plate 22 via the front shoe 27. On the other hand, a compression reaction force generated when the refrigerant gas is compressed by the piston 20 during discharge of the refrigerant gas mainly acts on the rear surface 40 of the swash plate 22 via the rear shoe 28. Both are factors that can cause wear and seizure between the swash plate 22 and the shoes 27 and 28, but since the reaction force of forced traction is much smaller than the value of the compression reaction force, the front side has In some cases, it is not necessary to increase the sliding characteristics so much.

If the swash plate 22 is made of a different material such as an aluminum-based material and the shoes 27 and 28 are made of an iron-based material, baking due to the so-called "tongue phenomenon" is unlikely to occur. Therefore, the swash plate 22 and the shoes 27, 28
Is a different material, and taking into account the fact that the reaction force at the time of forced traction is relatively small, it may not be necessary to particularly enhance the sliding characteristics on the front side.

Therefore, in this example, the rear surface 40 of the swash plate 22
Only the DLC film 44 is formed. With this configuration, the formation of the film on the front side is omitted, so that the labor and manufacturing cost for forming the film are reduced. Further, since the DLC film 44 is formed on the rear surface 40 side which needs to have high sliding characteristics, the probability of occurrence of abrasion and seizure does not increase rapidly, and the swash plate 22, the shoes 27 and 28, and Compressor 1
1 high reliability is ensured.

Also in this example, the swash plate 22 and the shoes 27 and 2 can be simplified by improving the sliding characteristics of the sliding portion 47 between the swash plate 22 and the shoes 27 and 28 in addition to simplifying the film forming operation.
8, and thus the reliability of the compressor 11 is improved. Further, compared with the case where the DLC films 43, 44 are formed on the entire processing surfaces 45, 46 (see FIG. 1 or FIG. 2) of the swash plate 22, the required film area is smaller and the material cost is further reduced.

Conventionally, in order to secure the sliding characteristics of the piston 20, the outer peripheral surface 56 of the piston 20 is mainly made of PTFE.
A coating layer made of (polytetrafluoroethylene) was formed, and an Sn plating layer was formed on the surface of the shoe seat 41. Conventionally, processing such as baking or polishing was required when forming the coating layer.
By using the film 53, such a processing is omitted, and the Sn plating that has been performed on the shoe seat 41 is also abolished. In addition, the sliding characteristics of not only the sliding portion 52 between the shoes 27 and 28 and the piston 20 but also the sliding portion 57 between the piston 20 and the cylinder block 12 are improved. The reliability of the cylinder 20 and the cylinder block 12 is also improved. The DLC film 5

Therefore, in this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. (1) Since the respective sliding surfaces of the swash plate 22, the shoes 27, 28, and the piston 20 are formed by the DLC films 43, 44, 48 to 51, 54, the abrasion resistance and the wear of the respective sliding portions 47, 52, 57 are improved. High sliding characteristics with excellent seizure resistance can be secured. Therefore, the swash plate 22, the shoes 27 and 28, the piston 20, the cylinder block 12, and the like are less likely to be worn or seized, and the reliability of the components 12, 20, 22, 27, 28, and the compressor 11 is improved.

(2) DLC films 43, 44, 48 to 51,
Since the film 54 has good formation accuracy such as film thickness and surface roughness, a film can be formed with the required film thickness and surface roughness by only one surface treatment. Therefore, if a DLC film is used for each sliding surface, it is not necessary to perform a special processing such as a polishing process or a finishing process, and the film can be formed by one operation.
Moreover, since the processing such as polishing can be omitted, the cost can be reduced accordingly. Further, for example, the work can be performed in a favorable environment without noise, for example, as compared with the case where the coating is formed by a thermal spraying method.

Even if the DLC film is not formed in No. 9, there is no problem. Therefore, when the DLC film 44 is provided only on the rear surface 40 side of the swash plate 22 to which a large compression reaction force is applied (FIG. 3), the DLC film on the front surface 39 side can be omitted, and thus the DLC film can be omitted. However, wear resistance and seizure resistance can be secured.

(5) When the DLC film 54 is formed on the entire outer surface of the piston 20 (FIG. 5), a process such as a baking process or a polishing process, which is necessary when forming a coating layer mainly composed of PTFE, is performed. No treatment is required, and the film forming operation can be simplified. Also in this case, the Sn plating process performed on the shoe seat 41 can be eliminated.

(6) In claim 2, the sliding portion between the swash plate and the shoe and the sliding portion between the shoe and the piston are formed in pairs with the swash plate interposed therebetween, and the swash plate is interposed therebetween. The amorphous hard carbon film is formed only on the sliding portion of the sliding portions on both sides to which a compression reaction force acting on the piston is applied when the medium is compressed. In this case, the compression reaction force is much larger than the reaction force at the time of forced traction acting on the piston at the time of sucking the medium, but the amorphous hard carbon film is applied only to the sliding portion on which such a large force acts. Since it is formed, abrasion and seizure of parts can be efficiently prevented.
