Scroll compressor

Abstract

Provided is a scroll compressor with durability improved by effectively reducing strong contact between a wrap of a movable scroll and an end plate of a fixed scroll without impairing a function. A compression chamber 34 formed between wraps 24, 32 of a fixed scroll 21 and a movable scroll 22 is narrowed while moving from the outside to the inside, thereby compressing working fluid. The wrap 32 of the movable scroll 22 has an inclined portion of which a height gradually decreases toward a winding end point P2 in an area from a point Pl at which a line L1 extending outward from the center O of a spiral base circle through an outer wall extension start point S intersects the outermost wrap 32 to the winding end point P2.
