A lubricating structure in a fixed displacement piston type compressor has a
housing,
a rotary shaft, a cam, a piston, a rotary valve and a rotary body. The housing
defines a cam chamber, cylinder bores and a suction pressure region. The rotary
shaft is rotatably supported by the housing. The cam is located in the cam chamber
and is connected to the rotary shaft. The piston is located in each of the cylinder
bores and engages the cam to reciprocate with rotation of the rotary shaft through
the cam. The rotary valve connected to the rotary shaft includes an introducing
passage and a supply passage that interconnects the introducing passage and the
suction pressure region. The introducing passage introduces fluid into the cylinder
bores through the supply passage. The rotary body connected to the rotary shaft
includes a communication passage that interconnects the cam chamber and the suction
pressure region.
