Abstract: A diameter of a main bearing member 12m is defined as Dm, a length thereof is defined as Lm, a diameter of the eccentric bearing member 11e is defined as De and a length thereof is defined as Le. A ratio (=Lm/Dm) of the length and the diameter of the main bearing member 12m and a ratio (=Le/De) of the length and the diameter of the eccentric bearing member 11e are set to Le/De?Lm/Dm?1. Therefore, contact at edge portions of both ends of the eccentric bearing member 11e does not occur, and it is possible to prevent contact at edge portions of both ends of the main bearing member 12m even if the main shaft 13m inclines, and to reduce a viscosity loss caused by oil 9a. Hence, the present invention provides a scroll compressor securing reliability of the bearing members 12m, 11e and 16s and having high efficiency.

Abstract: The present invention provides a capacity-control refrigeration cycle device capable of efficiently vary capacity, and in any of a full operation mode in which capacity of the refrigeration cycle device is not controlled and an operation mode in which the capacity is controlled, all of refrigerants are discharged into a hermetic container 1 and then, the refrigerants pass through a discharge path 11 and are guided to outside of the hermetic container 1. After a refrigerant and oil are sufficiently separated in the hermetic container 1, the refrigerant is discharged to outside of the hermetic container 1. Therefore, efficiencies of a condenser 300 and an evaporator 600 are not deteriorated. Since it is possible to reduce an amount of oil taken outside of the hermetic container, it is possible to stably secure oil in an oil reservoir 22, and to prevent bite of parts of a compressing mechanism and to prevent abnormal wearing.
