Scroll compressor having buffer member arranged between end of shaft and recess of eccentric bush

A scroll compressor comprising:

• a shaft rotated by a drive source;
• an eccentric bush having a recess, into which a first end of the shaft is inserted, and an eccentric portion eccentric to the shaft;
• an orbiting scroll operatively connected to the eccentric portion for orbiting;
• a fixed scroll engaged with the orbiting scroll;
• and
• a buffer member interposed between the first end of the shaft and the recess, wherein a buffer member's one end insertion groove is formed on a tip surface of the first end of the shaft so that a first end of the buffer member is inserted into the buffer member's one end insertion groove, wherein a buffer member's other end insertion groove is formed on a base surface of the recess facing the tip surface of the first end of the shaft so that a second end of the buffer member is inserted into the buffer member's other end insertion groove, wherein a clearance is present between an inner peripheral surface of the recess and an outer peripheral surface of the first end of the shaft and between an inner peripheral surface of the buffer member's other end insertion groove and an outer peripheral surface of the second end of the buffer member, and wherein the clearance allows the outer peripheral surface of the second end of the buffer member to come into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the buffer member's other end insertion groove before the inner peripheral surface of the recess comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the first end of the shaft.
