To provide a control valve which is capable of maintaining the minimum
operation of a variable displacement compressor, by causing a valve
section thereof to be fully opened, irrespective of the expanded or
compressed state of a bellows, even when the suction pressure of the
compressor is high. In the control valve for a variable displacement
compressor, a bellows is disposed between a pressure-sensing piston and a
core in a pressure-sensing chamber, and a pressing force-transmitting
member which is fixed to a plunger is interposed between the
pressure-sensing piston and the bellows. Then, a spring which urges the
pressing force-transmitting member toward a valve section is disposed
between the pressing force-transmitting member and the bellows. As a
result, even if the bellows contracts due to high suction pressure Ps,
the pressing force-transmitting member is held in a state being urged
toward the valve section by the spring, which causes a valve element to
be pushed upward via the pressure-sensing piston, to make the valve
section fully open, whereby the minimum operation of the compressor can
be maintained.
