  • Patent number: 11939976
    Abstract: A scroll compressor has a drive shaft which drives a scroll compression mechanism housed in a housing and a drive shaft support member which supports the drive shaft. The drive shaft support member includes a plate portion having a predetermined thickness in an axial direction of the drive shaft. One side end surface of the plate portion has thereon a sliding support surface which supports the sliding movement of an orbiting scroll. Another side end surface of the plate portion has formed thereon a protruding portion which, protruding toward the other side in the axial direction, is fitted onto an inner peripheral surface of the housing. The protruding portion is interference fitted onto the inner peripheral surface of the housing, and thereby the drive shaft support member is fixed to the housing.
