  • Patent number: 11067078
    Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a fixed scroll having a spiral-shaped fixed-side wrap, and a movable scroll having a spiral-shaped movable-side wrap. The fixed-side wrap and the movable-side wrap mesh with each other to form a compression chamber. The movable scroll is rotated eccentrically with respect to the fixed scroll to discharge a refrigerant compressed in the compression chamber from a single discharge port open at a starting end of turns of the fixed-side wrap. A first port expanding portion and a second port expanding portion communicating with the single discharge port to enlarge a passage area of the discharge port are arranged at an interval in a circumferential direction on a root side of the fixed-side wrap of the fixed scroll.
