SCROLL COMPRESSOR

摘要

A scroll compressor is provided which is configured such that an arcuate section may be formed from a suction end of a wrap to a first point to increase a suction volume, and a logarithmic spiral section in which a wrap thickness increases may be formed from a second point to a discharge end of the wrap. This may increase a volume ratio of the compressor so as to increase a capacity of the compressor and prevent damage to the wrap due to a high compression ratio operation, thereby enhancing reliability of the compressor.

1. A scroll compressor, comprising:
a fixed scroll having a fixed wrap; and an orbiting scroll having an orbiting wrap engaged with the fixed wrap, the orbiting scroll orbiting with respect to the fixed scroll to form compression chambers therebetween, wherein each of the fixed wrap and the orbiting wrap is formed with an arcuate section from a suction end to an arbitrary point in a direction toward a discharge end, and a logarithmic spiral section from another arbitrary point to the discharge end.
