SCROLL COMPRESSOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a scroll compressor capable of securing performance and reliability by suppressing an oil rise in such a manner that a partial clearance formed between a compressor mechanism and a sealed container is eliminated. SOLUTION: The compressor comprises a compressing mechanism provided on the upper portion of the sealed container, an outlet hole through which a compressed cooling medium is taken out of the compressing mechanism provided on the upper portion of the compressing mechanism, an outlet pipe which leads the cooling medium from the inside of the sealed container 1 to the outside of the sealed container provided on the sealed container, and a cylindrical convex 7b formed at the outer circumference of the compressing mechanism in the scroll compressor in which a supporting member, supporting the outer circumference of the compressing mechanism at the inner surface of the sealed container is located between the outlet hole and the outlet pipe. The compressing mechanism is closely contacted with the inner surface of the sealed container at the cylindrical convex 7b. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
