Claims
- 1. A scroll compressor comprising:
- a fixed scroll disposed in a sealed vessel and provided with a plate-like spiral tooth on a base plate having a discharge port for a high-pressure refrigerant gas at a center;
- an orbiting scroll disposed in said sealed vessel and having a base plate provided with a plate-like spiral tooth engaging said plate-like spiral tooth of said fixed scroll for forming a compression space consisting of a high pressure chamber, an intermediate pressure chamber, and a low pressure chamber; and
- a counterboring part made in at least one of said base plates of said fixed and orbiting scrolls, having a cutaway part corresponding to a center of said plate-like spiral tooth of said base plate, and set to have a form and position such that when said fixed and orbiting scrolls operate, said counterboring part begins to communicate with said intermediate pressure chamber at a later timing than said high pressure chamber and said intermediate pressure chamber communicate with each other on side faces of said plate-like spiral teeth of said fixed and orbiting scrolls.
- 2. The scroll compressor as claimed in claim 1, wherein said counterboring part made in at least one of said base plates of said fixed and orbiting scrolls and having said cutaway part corresponding to the center of said plate-like spiral tooth of said base plate is set to have the form and position such that when said fixed and orbiting scrolls operate, said counterboring part communicates with said intermediate pressure chamber at the same timing as said discharge port of said fixed scroll communicates with said intermediate pressure chamber.
- 3. The scroll compressor as claimed in claim 1, wherein a notch is formed in a radially inner portion of a central, tip-end portion of at least one of said plate-like spiral teeth of said fixed and orbiting scrolls.
